Chapter 227 227 The real daughter who was divorced 46

"Originally, this auction should have ended here. I just ask for your forgiveness, gentlemen. I have found a treasure in my shop and I can't help but want to show it off."

Master Li in the audience spoke with a flushed face and asked the waiter to bring up a large item covered by a red curtain.

"Please take a good look at it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Li reached out and pulled off the red curtain.

King Heshan, Prince Suzhou, and Marquis Cheng Mu, who were initially a little indifferent, subconsciously stood up and sat up straight when they saw the green jade stone that was about to drip with oil.

.

It’s actually a whole piece of imperial green!!!

Under the illumination of the light, this piece of jade shows a bright and moving emerald green color, very crystal clear, giving people a dignified and noble aesthetic feeling.

At this time, a thought flashed through the minds of several princes and nobles: I want to get this piece of imperial green.

People of this dynasty loved jade, otherwise they would not have visited a city like Nancheng that was famous for its stone gambling.

As its name suggests, Imperial Green is the emperor among jade stones. A piece of Imperial Green is enough to be used as a family heirloom and will last forever.

At this time, the princes and nobles no longer remember the birthday gifts from their ancestors, so naturally they want to keep such good things for themselves.

Before Master Li could continue to speak, Beiyuan Hou Shizi from the Japanese Room on the third floor couldn't wait to shout out the price: "I will offer one hundred thousand taels of silver."

The onlookers who were originally immersed in the idea that Zi Qi Dong Lai had such good things were awakened by the generosity of the guests on the third floor.

And the ordinary people who were waiting to watch the excitement took a deep breath.

You must know that the Exquisite Eight Treasures Pagoda with the highest bid tonight was only priced at 8,700 taels of silver!

The asking price for this piece of imperial green is one hundred thousand taels, hiss...

However, the King of Luzhou from Yuezifang directly taunted: "I want to buy the imperial green for only 100,000 yuan. It's ridiculous for a kid with a yellow mouth. I will pay 200,000 yuan."

The price was actually doubled.

At this time, the other nobles seemed to have woken up, and they quickly raised the price one by one.

"I will offer you three hundred thousand."

"My son will pay 400,000 yuan."

"This king..."

Not long after, the bid exceeded one million.

You must know what a million is, and the revenue of the national treasury in a year is only this.

I have to admit that the wealth of these princes and noble sons is really unexpectedly rich.

Thinking about it, these are all princes whose families have owned a piece of land for several generations. Even the family property passed down by their ancestors is more than ordinary people can imagine, not to mention the fertile fiefdom.

As a local emperor in a fief, you don't need to abide by the regulations of the court at all. You can modify the taxation of the fief at will. You only need to pay some silver to the court, and the rest can be put into your own pocket.

No wonder they were unwilling to hand over all the power of their fiefdoms. They were used to being powerful and rich local emperors, and of course they did not want to just be a wealthy and wealthy individual who was sitting on nothing.

It's a pity that they met a famous emperor.

Mingyue raised her eyebrows slightly and winked at Master Li who was looking over.

It was also the increasingly high bids that made the common people and petty officials on the two floors below know that the previous auction items were just appetizers, and now the auction house had just started to serve the main meal.

I don't know who suddenly said: "To be able to listen to the voices of so many noble people, this lively scene is really worth it."

It actually caused everyone to nod in agreement.

But when the princes were bidding vigorously, Master Li picked up the red curtain and covered the imperial green again, and interrupted the bidding with a slight cough:

"Ahem, noble people may have misunderstood. This piece of imperial green is not an item in this auction."

Speaking of this, Master Li had a proud smile on his face: "This item was just opened by my shopkeeper himself. It has not yet been evaluated by the master in the shop, so naturally it will not be auctioned at this time."

These words were unacceptable to those princes and nobles. Their price had been increased to more than one million taels of silver. Why don't you come here with them to play?

Moreover, all the things have been seen by them, how can there be any reason to leave them in this shop?

"What do you mean? Are you kidding me?"

"I really had to take a photo of this thing today."

"This prince is bound to get this piece of imperial green."

"..."

As the nobles spoke out one after another, Master Li couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and most of the clothes on his back were wet with sweat.

It was also when he saw the calm eyes of the shopkeeper that he forced himself to calm down and comforted himself in his heart: It's okay, don't be afraid, the shopkeeper is a member of Prince Chen, and his status is no worse than that of these princes and noble sons.

"Guests, please don't be anxious or weird. Our shopkeeper has decided that this piece of imperial green will be appraised by the masters and then auctioned in three days. The highest bidder will still get it."

After saying this, Master Li straightened his face and said seriously:

"Of course, there will be no 20% discount on auction items after three days, and during this period, our shop will also vigorously promote the existence of the Imperial Green, so the competition will be fierce by then. Guests who are interested in this item are also asked to prepare a lot of silver coins in case

Just in case of emergencies.”

Now, everyone heard it. It turned out that the shopkeeper felt that there was a discount in selling now, and he was afraid that too few people knew about it, so it would not be cost-effective to sell it, so he said that he would auction it again in three days.

Although it sounds a bit unethical, doing business is not charity, so the shopkeeper's move can be considered excusable.

Moreover, the store didn’t say that there was imperial green in this auction at first, so it was just for customers to see, which makes sense.

It's hard for those princes and nobles to say anything, otherwise it will always give people the impression that they are greedy for the 20% discount, or are afraid that they cannot afford the price.

Of course, what the princes and nobles were thinking more about at this time was to go to the shopkeeper to discuss the sale privately and get the piece of imperial green before the auction.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Master Li finally breathed a sigh of relief and proposed that the auction be concluded successfully.

The people watching the excitement were chatting with some unfinished thoughts about everything they saw today, and guessing who would get the imperial green?

The person who bought the auction item followed the clerk to the warehouse for handover.

On the other hand, the princes and nobles seemed to be competing to see who could hold their own. They all sat in their private rooms without moving at all.

The guys didn't dare to urge them, so they had to clean up and clean the shop on their own.

Mingyue arranged for guards to keep an eye on the piece of imperial green, and then calmed down her thoughts, and then waited quietly for the princes and nobles to make a move.

After a while, someone finally lost control and called the waiter to ask for help from the shopkeeper.

Mingyue patted her sleeves gently and walked upstairs with a smile on her face.
