Yu Jiujiu planned to draw a portrait of herself in the past and show it to the stall owner after she returned to the palace.
The stall owner said that except for the auction days, she would come to the black market to set up a stall on the fifteenth day of every month.
Yu Jiujiu planned to ask Wen Lan to send someone to deliver the portrait to her, or she could come in person.
This is just a small episode.
They continued to walk forward, along this lively small street, all the way to a brightly lit tall building in the north.
This is a five-story high building, with bright lanterns hanging from the eaves and corners of each floor, which are gently swaying in the night breeze.
Yu Jiujiu felt something magical.
The black market is built underground, but the air can circulate freely. The person who built this place must be very capable.
Not long after, they entered this tall building.
As soon as you enter the high-rise building, you can see the hall in the middle, with separate rooms on three sides. There are people sitting in the hall, most of them wearing masks on their faces.
Wen Lan and the others also wore this mask.
Yu Jiujiu didn’t want it because she was veiled.
The middle-aged man led them all the way to the private room on the second floor.
Chu Hanchen explained that he was a regular customer of the black market auction and would have an exclusive room every time he came back.
The room is not big, but it is very luxuriously decorated.
There is a soft table against the wall on the north side, with a small table made of golden nanmu placed in the middle. On the small table are placed a set of chess pieces and a set of cups made of white jade.
There are several tables and chairs on both sides, all made of golden nanmu and expensive to make.
The house seemed to be on fire, and the small room was as warm as spring.
The door was not closed, but a curtain came down to block the view from the outside. However, looking out from the inside, one could see everything happening outside very clearly.
It was still early when they arrived.
The middle-aged man was standing guard outside the door, and now he called the maid over to bring more tea and water.
Ziying carefully tried them one by one and found that they were not poisonous.
Yu Jiujiu felt a little bored when she saw people coming outside and going to different rooms, so she pulled Wen Lan and played backgammon with her.
Backgammon is really child's play for Wen Lan.
But seeing that Yu Jiujiu was in high spirits, he patiently played with her.
After a long time, I finally heard the sound of drums in the hall outside.
"It's about to begin." Chu Hanchen said.
Yu Jiujiu immediately threw the chess pieces on the chessboard and looked at the hall attentively.
Wen Lan patiently collected the chess pieces one by one.
In the hall, a middle-aged man with a big belly and a mask stood there. He called himself "Eighth Master" and was the person in charge of the auction. His voice sounded like he was in his forties. He stood there and spoke very briefly.
After briefly introducing the rules of the auction, he directly asked people to carry up the first item to be auctioned tonight.
It was a double-sided embroidery, with a starting price of one hundred thousand taels of silver.
It is said that it was embroidered by the favorite concubine of the emperor of this dynasty, and it is very valuable for collection.
Yu Jiujiu is not interested in this thing.
But there were other collectors who were interested in this, and they actually bought half a million taels of silver, which was so generous that it was staggering.
"This embroidery doesn't look very good. The pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water is ordinary. It can't be eaten or drunk, and it can't cure diseases. Why is it worth so much money?" Yu Jiujiu couldn't understand these people.
She wouldn't be willing to pay the money to replace her.
Yu Jiujiu is now the head of the family, and she understands very well that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. The little rich woman in the past is actually a little penniless now.
Chu Hanchen laughed: "This thing is indeed of no use, but there are always people who like to collect it. Moreover, these are old things from the time of Emperor Gaozu, and they were made by the imperial concubine. They can be regarded as antiques. If they are kept for a few decades, they will
It will be more expensive than it is now.”
When Yu Jiujiu heard this, she still curled her lips in disapproval.
Soon, the second item arrived.
This time it’s a gem from Yelan Kingdom…
"The gems from Yelan Kingdom, do you think they were sent for auction by Princess Qingbo?" Yu Jiujiu couldn't help but say.
"Who knows?"
The next products were all mediocre and uninteresting, and Yu Jiujiu began to yawn.
It seemed that the man named Ba Ye also saw the waning interest of the guests present, and immediately smiled and said: "The starting price of the previous products was less than 500,000 taels of silver, but the starting price of the next one is 600,000 taels.
!”
As he spoke, he clapped his hands.
Immediately someone came over holding a brocade box covered with brocade.
As soon as the brocade is unveiled.
The brocade box was opened again.
I saw a piece of light golden clothing, neatly folded and placed inside.
"Celestial Silk Clothes! Wearing it, no sword, spear, or halberd can harm you in the slightest! It is also impervious to water and fire. It is a genuine life-saving garment! There are only three clothes made of Sky Silk in the world, and the other two are
, it is said that they are all stored in the royal treasure pavilion of Daxia Kingdom, and the third one is the one in my hand!"
Ba Ye held the brocade box in his hand and introduced with a smile, "Now, let's start shooting!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
People started bidding immediately.
"Six hundred thousand!"
"Six hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Seven hundred thousand!"
"Eight hundred thousand!"
Yu Jiujiu couldn't help but muttered amidst the endless bidding: "There is also a treasure house in the palace? There are also two pieces of silk clothes hidden in the palace? Why haven't I heard the imperial grandmother and father mention it at all?"
In the end, the dress was bought for three million.
Yu Jiujiu was shocked by the price.
There are so many rich people!
After that, Master Ba took out another brocade box, which contained a herb called "Red Moon Root". It was said to be very rare and was auctioned off for 900,000 yuan.
"This herb comes from our Yaowang Valley." Chu Hanchen said with a smile, "I brought it here."
After saying that, he glanced at Yu Jiu Jiu.
Yu Jiujiu stared at him with bright and watery eyes: "Uncle Miracle Doctor, you are really, easily able to earn 900,000 yuan!"
Chu Hanchen was amused by her envious little eyes!
"Okay, for the next piece, the starting price is one million taels!" At this time, Master Ba ordered someone to bring out a brocade box.
Upon hearing the starting price, everyone became interested.
"This product has never appeared on our black market before, and it has never appeared on the market. Until a few days ago, the boss of Chase Bank was tortured in every possible way because of a hundred different kinds of poisons, and his life was in danger.
On this occasion, he was saved by Chu Hanchen, the miracle doctor of Yaowang Valley, with a pill.
"This elixir is called 'Hundred Poison Pills' and can remove a hundred types of toxins.
"After the boss of Datong Bank was saved, he paid Doctor Chu one million taels of silver.
"Today, Divine Doctor Chu took out another Hundred Poison Pill. The starting price is one million taels!"
