Qing'er is a little strange, why is she so concerned about the katana?
Before Qing'er could ask, Bai Song continued: "Didn't you say that those samurai swords have to be auctioned before you can buy them? I'm going to investigate the recent auction. I want to see how popular this Japanese samurai sword can be."
"My husband is going to attend the auction?"
"It's always nice to take a look when you're bored."
Mo Bai Qianzhuang was very well informed. Bai Song said he wanted to participate in the auction. Within half an hour, an auction held in the West Market had Bai Song's seat.
Auctions in Chang'an have become popular recently, because the policy of trade with Japan has not only strengthened exchanges with Japan, but also stimulated the flow of goods from other regions into Chang'an. More and more rare treasures have appeared in Chang'an City. .
The auctions are going on one after another, and as the most popular item at the moment, there will always be one or two Japanese samurai swords.
From the East Market to the West Market, Qing'er did not accompany Bai Song.
Bai Song is accompanied by Lan Ting, who is always a personal maid. Now that she has been brought back, she must play her due role, right?
Lan Ting also had the same thought. After returning to Chang'an, although she stayed in the palace, during the Bai Song Dynasty, she traveled back and forth between the palaces. It was inconvenient for Lan Ting to go in and out of the palace, and she never wandered around the East Palace.
On weekdays, I always have nothing to do when I stay at home, and I feel uneasy.
It was rare that she had something to do with her today. The Lanting girl was very active and concentrated on peeling fruits for her master along the way.
Thinking about the auction in the car, Bai Song was in a trance for a while. What he thought of was not the rare antiques, but the auctions in fantasy novels, such as killing people and seizing treasures. He suddenly laughed when he thought about it. I feel like my association is a bit strange.
"Sir, why are you laughing?"
Seeing that the West Market was just ahead, Bai Song looked outside.
For Bai Song, this kind of auction should be regarded as a leisure and entertainment activity. Compared with what he had planned and thought about before, it was very easy to do now.
And what you want in this kind of auction is not spiritual stones or spiritual crystals. As long as you have enough money, what can you not buy?
And silver is just a number to Bai Song now. Even if his own money is really not enough, he can still mobilize it from the treasury. After all, with the popularity of silver notes, Mobai Bank and the imperial court have been deeply bound together.
Bai Song suddenly laughed because he thought that participating in the auction might be his personal show of pretense. If we follow the old routine of the novel in his memory, there will be more or less a few short-sighted little guys at this time. The minions would show up and laugh at his clothes and behavior, and they might give him a few coins to humiliate him. Or they might meet some young ladies from wealthy families who would insist on raising the price with Bai Song for a certain treasure.
"If something like that really happens, with my current identity and status, it would look stupid to do that kind of slap in the face, right?"
Before Bai Song could respond, a car suddenly cut in front of Bai Song's carriage.
Maybe there are many people at the auction later, and the West Market is busier than usual. There are many carriages entering the West Market, and the streets are very congested.
When Bai Song came to the West Market, he randomly called a coachman. The carriage was relatively simple and old, much ruder than the ornately decorated carriage in front of him.
There was a carriage in front of it, followed by a sultry white horse on its side. On top of the white horse was a scholar in green clothes and a green crown.
Bai Song's driver was very unhappy because the car in front was forced in from the alley, so he was cursing behind him.
The man on the white horse looked back at Bai Song. Seeing that the carriage was so crude, he didn't take it seriously at all and didn't even bother to pay attention to it.
After all, Lan Ting was born as a palace maid in the East Palace, and her vision was extraordinary. When she opened the curtain and saw the contemptuous look in Prince Charming's eyes, she was not angry at all. Instead, she smiled and said: "If only I knew that the person sitting in this simple car was a famous person.
Young Master, I wonder if that man will be so frightened that he falls off his horse?"
Bai Song didn't answer, but he curiously looked ahead through the gap in the car curtain.
He took a good look, and saw that the rear curtain of the car in front was opened, and a girl inside said sorry to the driver.
The man on the white horse said disdainfully: "Miss Zhang and your status, why do you need to talk to such untouchables?"
Miss Zhang didn't say much and quickly lowered the car curtain.
But she quickly raised the car curtain after lowering it. Different from the indifferent look in her eyes before, there was a hint of surprise and surprise in Miss Zhang's eyes at this moment.
At this time, Bai Song met her eyes, smiled and nodded to her.
This Miss Zhang is Zhang Yuhan, the daughter of Zhang Liang, Minister of Industry.
With a simple nod, the two of them lowered the car curtain in perfect agreement.
The Western Market is usually a market that only common people enter, and the things bought and sold are relatively cheap.
If a lady from an official family like Zhang Yuhan wants to go shopping, she should go to the more prosperous Dongshi.
The carriages that appear in the West Market now, as long as they have some status, are obviously going to the auction.
The two of them had a tacit understanding, knowing that even if they had to talk and reminisce about old times, there would be opportunities at the auction.
The prince charming in front was all focused on Miss Zhang. He noticed that Miss Zhang opened the curtain twice, especially the look in her eyes when she opened the curtain for the second time. There was a kind of excitement in his bright eyes.
Emotions.
How can this be?
Prince Charming thought, why did Miss Zhang show such an expression?
Zhang Yuhan Zhang Yuhan, as her name suggests, is a famous iceberg beauty in Chang'an City. How could such a look of surprise appear in her eyes?
Prince Charming couldn't help but look back at this ordinary carriage.
After walking around for an hour and a half, we finally arrived at the entrance of the auction venue.
As soon as Bai Song got out of the car, a strange girl stopped Bai Song.
"Is this Mr. Bai?"
"Yes, you are?"
"My maid is the welcome guest of the Chengfeng Chamber of Commerce. She came here specially to wait for you sir with the instruction of the president."
The Chengfeng Chamber of Commerce seems to be the largest business alliance in the Tang Dynasty. Bai Song has never dealt with them, but Qing'er knows about it and is even the honorary vice president of the Chengfeng Chamber of Commerce.
Today's auction is hosted by the Chengfeng Chamber of Commerce. According to this relationship, Bai Song is half the owner.
What's more important is that the Chamber of Commerce knows Bai Song's identity and the wealth he controls, so when they hear that Bai Song is coming, the Chamber of Commerce has already been preparing.
Bai Song nodded and looked around him. There were too many people and he couldn't squeeze in.
Now there was a little girl leading the way through the inner passage, and Bai Song followed.
Bai Song was out of sight. Zhang Yuhan, who had arrived one step ahead, got out of the car and looked around. Bai Song's face was full of worry when he couldn't see it.
Prince Charming stepped forward and asked, "Miss Zhang, are you looking for someone?"
"Where did the young man from the carriage behind go?"
Prince Charming looked confused: "This..."
Zhang Yuhan didn't care anymore and went over to ask the driver himself.
The driver pointed in the direction Bai Song was going, but he had disappeared.
