"Master Tang, it's really you. I thought I saw it wrong!" Li Xian wore a white robe today and looked quite elegant. He walked slowly to Tang Ji and added with a smile: "Previously
I was sent out by my father to perform a mission these days, so it’s a pity that I couldn’t see Lord Tang’s majesty!”
Tang Ji raised his eyes and glanced at the other party, and couldn't help but remember that when he was in Huaizhou, he helped Luo Qingqing bully Jiang Ran. However, considering Li Xian's identity, he still handed over his hand and said: "I'm here to see His Highness the King of Jin."
"You're welcome." Li Xian waved his hand casually, then raised his eyes to look at the building in front of him and said with a smile, "Master Tang is also interested in this auction?"
"Just taking a walk," Tang Ji replied.
Li Xian nodded slightly and walked forward: "In that case, let's go with this king."
Hearing this, Tang Ji felt a little helpless. He just wanted to buy a bracelet so that he could meet people he knew. He also said that Kyoto is a huge city, so big!
Soon, several people walked into the auction house. The space was quite regular. There was a high platform in the center of the building with a long table on it. There were seats all around. There were stands on the second floor.
Li Xian didn't stop at all. He walked up to the second floor with ease and sat down on a stand. He looked at Tang Ji who was standing not far away and said with a smile: "Master Tang, please take a seat."
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person with your hand, so Tang Ji couldn't refuse the other person's kindness. He walked over and sat down on the soft mat beside the low table.
Li Xian, who was kneeling on the other side, poured a glass of water for the two of them respectively and said with a smile: "Master Tang is still as informal as he was in Huaizhou."
Tang Ji knew that he was talking about his sitting posture, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
"I remember last year, when I first met Mr. Tang, I had a little conflict. I hope Mr. Tang won't take it to heart." Li Xian said politely, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Seeing that the other party did not reply, he
He continued: "I already know what happened in the court a few days ago. I didn't expect Master Tang to have a relationship with the Yang family, but both the Yang family and King Hao belong to the camp of the eldest brother. Master Tang has offended
If you kill them, won’t you be afraid?”
"Afraid? This court is still His Majesty's, not the eldest prince's, right?" Tang Ji looked downstairs and replied casually.
Li Xian put down the tea cup in his hand and chuckled: "Hahaha, Mr. Tang said it well, and I think so too. So, Mr. Tang, are you interested in cooperating with me? With Mr. Tang's ability, treat me
After ascending the throne, I can make you a prime minister and sit there for a long time!"
Hearing this, Tang Ji slowly turned his head. He didn't expect that this guy had been trying to win over him for a long time. He was just a ninth-grade official now, so that's not the case!
But having said that, Li Xian is indeed generous.
Yang Tianhao also painted a cake for himself a few days ago, but he ended up saying something like, "I will promote you several ranks within a year." When he came to Li Xian, the cake he painted made him a prime minister. In comparison, he must be a big cake.
Be more fragrant!
However, Tang Ji did not take a bite of the cake. He still chose to drink tea quietly. After all, he would not choke when drinking tea.
Seeing that he was silent, Li Xian let out a breath: "I know that Mr. Tang has a close relationship with the Fourth Emperor's brother, but he is weak by nature and cannot achieve great things. Mr. Tang, it is better to find a way out as soon as possible. Although my power is slightly
It’s inferior to Li Qin, but I don’t know how many times better than Li Yu who has nothing!”
At this time, many people had gathered downstairs, and all the seats were occupied. The charming woman standing on the central platform smiled and said: "Welcome to the auction of our Tianxia Chamber of Commerce. This auction has a total of two lots.
Eleven items, we won’t do any ink, let’s start the auction of the first item..."
Tang Ji's eyes were drawn downstairs. When he saw that the first auction item was a rusty ancient sword, he didn't pay much attention to it.
Seeing his appearance, Li Xian did not rush to pursue him. He said calmly: "It's okay. I will give Mr. Tang some time. You can think about it slowly."
Time passed slowly, and the auction became more and more intense. During this period, Li Xian also took pictures of two things that he found interesting. However, Tang Ji did not take action for a long time, and he had doubts: "Is it possible that he is really here to hang out?"
But not long after, the woman on the stage smiled and said: "The next is today's fifteenth auction, called Lantian Jade Bracelet, which is made of the finest Lantian Beryl as raw material and has been processed for nearly two days.
After months of repeated polishing and refinement, it is made with fine texture, comfortable touch, and no flaws. It is a top-quality jade bracelet. The starting price is fifty taels of silver. Each increase in price must not be less than one tael. Please bid.
!”
As soon as she finished speaking, someone in the audience called out the price.
"Fifty one tael!"
"Fifty-three taels!"
"Fifty-five taels!"
"..."
During the meeting, the price of this Lantian jade bracelet has been raised to eighty taels of silver. The charming woman said: "This jade bracelet is really beautiful. Even the slave family likes it. Do you want to increase the price? Eighty taels.
Two times, eighty two times, eight..."
"One hundred taels!"
In an instant, a sound suddenly came from upstairs, attracting many people to look over.
The merchant who originally offered eighty taels snorted coldly and continued to shout: "One hundred and one taels!"
When Li Xian saw Tang Ji take action, the corner of his mouth raised slightly: "It turns out that Mr. Tang likes this kind of thing. Since I am the one who invites you, how can I let you spend money!"
Immediately, he raised his hand to signal Fang Yao behind him to bid.
"Two hundred taels!"
The price doubled in an instant, and many people had given up completely. The businessman who bid 101 taels also looked at the stage twice, and finally chose to give up the bidding.
The charming woman covered her lips and smiled: "Hahaha, indeed there are still people who know the goods. It will definitely not be a loss to buy this jade bracelet for two hundred taels. Is there anyone who wants to increase the price? If not, then two hundred taels once, two hundred taels
Twice, two hundred two three..."
At this moment, a voice came from upstairs again: "Two hundred and one tael!"
Hearing this, everyone looked up in confusion. Aren't the young masters named Two Hundred Liang and Two Hundred and One Liang sitting together? Why did these two people start bidding?
Li Xian frowned slightly, looked at Tang Ji and said, "Master Tang, don't you intend to give me face?"
"I don't dare, it's just that I don't want His Highness to spend money, and I'm used to getting things I like myself." Tang Ji nodded and explained.
"Humph!" Li Xian snorted coldly, raised his hand and shouted: "Three hundred taels!"
"Three hundred and one tael!" Tang Ji continued to shout, not wanting to be outdone.
"Five hundred taels!"
"Five hundred and one tael!"
"One thousand taels!"
"One thousand and one tael!"
"..."
"Two thousand taels!"
"Two thousand and one tael!"
The bidding between the two people had already shocked everyone present. Just now, a valuable authentic calligraphy and painting only fetched 500 taels of silver. Why should this broken bracelet be sold for 2,000 taels?
On the high platform on the other side of the second floor, a gaze also shifted to Tang Ji and Li Xian. After blinking his jade eyes for a few more looks, his eyes suddenly lit up and he smiled: "Is it him?"
