In the huge main cabin of the boat, there are various snacks, water and wine, peanuts and melon seeds, seasonal fruits and vegetables. Sitting at the top is the eldest lady of the Li family, Mrs. Dou, and behind her are the accompanying maids and the immortal maids Cui'er and Xiaoqing.

The two of them were specially escorted to participate in the Hungry Ghost Festival auction, and the most important auction items were brought by them.

On both sides of the lower head sat various officials and family members of famous families in Chang'an. These people occasionally moved around on weekdays, but how could they be gathered together like this?

Rather than saying it is because of the Hungry Ghost Festival sacrifice, it is better to say it is due to this mysterious auction item.

It is said that this thing has infinite uses for women, but no one has seen it.

However, Gu Dou's relatives in Chang'an described that the fragrance of this product was charming and long-lasting. It just stuck to the body, and her husband was full of praise after smelling it.

There was also a person who looked at me differently that night...

When everyone heard this, they thought it was a high-grade aphrodisiac. They had heard that the prince had met several monks from the Western Regions.

But the effect is not that powerful. Today I heard that Dou would display this item at the auction, so everyone enthusiastically signed up.

Everyone was gathered, but Mr. Dou was not in a hurry to start and said a few words first.

Then the drums and music sounded, and a woman in white jumped out of the back warehouse, her body arching into a crescent shape in the air.

"It's Mr. Gongsun!" Someone exclaimed in surprise.

This Gongsun is the best at dancing, and she is the head of the No. 1 dance studio in the capital.

Usually, they only occasionally perform at the celebrations of princes and nobles, and they are usually the lead dancers in a group dance. It has been a long time since I have seen a person dancing alone.

I saw her sleeves flying, drawing shadows all over the sky. The sleeves, which were three to four feet long, were like a flying dragon flying into the sky in harmony with the music, or like a white python lying on the ground. Her waist was slender and full, and the white gauze could not cover her round buttocks, which were flesh-colored.

The obscene pants are looming.

The ladies present stared straight-eyed, and they all made the sound of swallowing.

How could the young ladies who had not yet passed the exam endure it? They all blushed and secretly covered their eyes.

Even Cui'er, who had seen the rehearsal, couldn't help but blush and spat: "Fairy!"

We had agreed to exchange ten drops of perfume for one dance, but who would have thought that she would wear so little?

Fortunately, the music ended, and Gongsun and everyone retreated.

Everyone applauded enthusiastically, and some people even took out their money and prepared to reward them. When others stared at them, they immediately realized that this was not a show, so they could only take it back angrily. However, they slapped their hands harder and turned red.

As soon as Gongsun and his family retreated, the servants of the Li family came in carrying several sandalwood boxes, and stood in a row according to the numbers on the boxes, in an orderly manner.

Mrs. Dou sat at the top and smiled and nodded to everyone: "Sisters, ladies and gentlemen of each family, my husband Li Yuan took office in Longzhou a while ago. Unfortunately, he was unlucky and encountered a locust plague that was rare in ten years.

Because of his love, he couldn't bear to see the people suffer, so he dispersed his family wealth, sold all the valuable things in his home, and exchanged some rice, flour, oil and grain to help the people. Now there is a camp at the foot of Longshan Mountain to take in homeless people.

Recently, before our family moved back to Chang'an, we were packing up the things at home. We unexpectedly found some things, so we took them out to make everyone laugh. If there is anything you like, you can bid for it, and the highest bidder will get it. Our Li family will not take any of this money, and will give it all to the officials.

Going to Longshan Camp to help the victims there can also be considered as accumulating some blessings for everyone."

As soon as she finished speaking, the sisters below started laughing. One of them, wearing gold and silver, called out: "Madam, please start quickly. I have brought enough banknotes today. Your Li family is willing to be a great benefactor."

, we are happy to see the success and would like to help you!"

The women in the cabin all started to boo, and the Dou family laughed loudly: "Then I would like to thank all the sisters in advance. Speaking of which, whoever gets these things today, no one else should bear grudges, only those who are destined will get it."

After all, we will still be sisters from now on. It’s getting late now, so let’s start.”

She turned to signal to Cui'er, who waved, and immediately a servant from the Li family came over with a box, placed it on the small table in front of everyone and opened the lid.

Everyone looked inside and saw a fresh Ganoderma lucidum, the size of a palm, tied with a red string and placed in a box with a yellow cloth backing.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you may have heard that in order to save the common people, Dr. Sun Simiao personally went to Longshan Mountain to collect medicines, prepare immortal prescriptions, and save the world. This old man personally picked this plant from the cliff of Longshan Mountain.

Thousands of people searched all over the mountains and fields, but only found this one. Sun Xianren said that this strain has a lifespan of more than 50 years, and after taking it, it can strengthen the body and strengthen the body, and prolong life. This is evidenced by Sun Xianren's handwriting and his signature.

.”

Cui'er said as she took out an envelope from her little notebook, opened it and pulled out a piece of white paper with Sun Simiao's autograph and seal on it.

Cui Er took the signature and showed it to everyone for a week. She collected the letter and said loudly: "Now the auction begins. A fifty-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. The starting price is 300 taels. Each increase will be 100 taels. Please."

Sun Simiao's name is basically equivalent to "immortal" in this era.

Basically no one will doubt what he says. If he says it is a good thing, then there is a high probability that it is a good thing.

But three hundred taels is not a small amount, so the ladies present chose to wait and see first.

So at the beginning, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one made a bid.

After a while, a lady finally spoke up: "My husband is getting older, and his health is getting worse day by day. This kind of elixir that brings the dead back to life is something you can only come across. Now that you have come across it, of course you can't miss it."

, I bid three hundred taels."

Everyone looked around and found out that it was Mrs. Yu who lived in Li Yuan's cousin's room. She was close to the Dou family, so she sat in the front seat. The first bidder was both a genuine need and a way to help the occasion.

"Mrs. Yu bids three hundred taels, is there anyone else who wants to bid?" Cui'er raised a finger and looked at everyone.

"Five hundred taels!" someone shouted. It was the eldest lady of the county.

"I'll give you eight hundred taels!" shouted a young woman at the bottom. This person was young and beautiful, no more than twenty years old. Her husband was in the prime of life, but there were many wives and concubines in the family, and she was the youngest, although she was being pampered now.

, but if her husband dies one day, she will instantly become the target of everyone's suppression.

Therefore, the husband's body is his own glory and wealth, and he spent many days of savings for this concubine.

"Eight hundred and two times, eight hundred and two and three times, congratulations to this little lady, this Ganoderma lucidum is yours."

Under the envious eyes of everyone, the concubine excitedly took the box, hugged it tightly in her arms, and sat back in her seat.

Some people are praising her husband for being so lucky to have such a virtuous wife, while others are sighing and secretly scolding themselves for being hesitant.

Seeing that the atmosphere was still heated, Cui'er took advantage of the situation and said, "The second lot is shown below: agarwood."

Another box was brought up, and the servant cut a small section from the box and lit it in a copper plate. The curls of green smoke rose and the aroma filled the cabin. This was still the case with bamboo curtains hanging for ventilation. If it was in a sealed space

The intensity of the aroma can be imagined.

The scene suddenly became noisy. This was agarwood, the first of the four famous fragrances.

The ancients loved incense, not only because its scent can calm the mind and cultivate sentiments, but also because after the Five Hus in China, many people in the north had barbarian genes and liked to eat beef and mutton. Body odors could be covered up with incense.

Therefore, sachets are the most favorite decoration for northern women to give and wear.

With such a large piece of agarwood, who can resist the temptation?

"This agarwood was won by my master after a bet with a Hu merchant. It didn't cost a penny originally, but for the thousands of hungry people in the camp, we won't be polite anymore. The price is as low as one thousand taels. Please bid.

"

"I'll give you a thousand!"
