Under the bright lights of the booth, a dark red pill lay quietly in the brocade box. The auctioneer lifted the brocade box and walked around the booth, so that guests from all directions under the stage could clearly see
See the elixir in the brocade box
"This pill is called Bao Ming Wan. It is dark red in color. If a dying person takes this pill, he will be safe for three days. The starting price is ten taels of silver." The auctioneer's clear and resonant voice echoed in the auction venue.
"Twelve"
"Twenty Liang"
…
"Two hundred taels"
"Two hundred taels, is there anyone who bids higher than two hundred taels?" A loud voice sounded. Seeing that no one raised the bid, the auctioneer's loud voice like a bell shouted again: "Two hundred taels is the first time."
, two hundred taels for the second time, two hundred taels for the third time”
A strike with the hammer in his hand confirmed that the life-saving pill was photographed by a middle-aged man sitting in the hall.
In this world, one tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver, which is equal to one thousand penny. This life-saving pill is equal to twenty taels of gold. Take it.
The auction was proceeding in an orderly manner, but in the private room No. 88, Feng Qingzhuang's eyes were burning with blazing flames, and she was glaring at Wu Jingyu. However, the other party seemed completely unaware, with an evil smile on her lips.
Smiling, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip gracefully, "Zhuang'er, don't stare like this. Your eyes will be sore, and then I will feel bad again."
Feng Qingzhuang was so angry that she wanted to rush over and beat this guy up to relieve her anger. But her purpose today was to auction things, so she couldn't ruin her mood.
Finally, when the auctioneer on the booth started shouting, "The elixir to be auctioned now is called Changsheng Dan. There are twenty-eight pills in total. After taking this elixir, you can maintain good health, prolong your life, and can also make you ten years younger and make you a lively man."
You can give birth to a son at the age of ten, and a woman can conceive and give birth to a child at the age of sixty. The base price is 3,000 taels of silver. Everyone is welcome to bid."
Hearing the auctioneer's introduction, Feng Qingzhuang felt several black lines crawling up her head. She felt ashamed and secretly thought, "This auctioneer can really brag that if she could be ten years younger just by relying on this bottle of elixir, she would have kept it until she was old."
Enjoy it slowly when you are old and fading
Wu Jingyu was also sweating violently, and the corners of his eyes were twitching. After all, Yin Zheng in the private room was a woman who had not left the palace. Her pretty face turned red with embarrassment, while Mo Yue and Can Yun's cold faces twitched at the corners of their mouths.
At this time, someone in the audience had already begun to bid, "Three thousand taels"
Then, "Three thousand five hundred taels"
"Five thousand taels"
"Ten thousand taels" a feminine and effeminate voice sounded, raising the price all of a sudden.
The whole audience was in an uproar, and the auctioneer on the booth loudly shouted: "The guest in private room No. 99 bids ten thousand taels, is there anyone who bids higher than ten thousand taels?"
"Can Yun, go and find out who the guest in private room No. 99 is?" Feng Qingzhuang heard the sissy's shouting and suddenly thought of the eunuch. She suspected that it was Shangguan Xuancheng's father-in-law, so she asked.
Can Yun went to inquire
Can Yun responded and was about to go out to inquire when Wu Jingyu's evil and charming voice rang out unhurriedly, "There's no need to go. I know that the guest on No. 99 is Shangguan Xuancheng, the emperor of Xingyao Kingdom."
"There are only a few days left for the Queen Mother's birthday. It seems that he is planning to take a picture of the longevity pill and give it to the Queen Mother as a birthday gift." Feng Qingzhuang's eyes flashed with a sharp light and she gave Yin Zheng a few instructions.
Yin Zheng took the sign Wu Jingyu put on the table and shouted loudly: "Eleven thousand taels"
After the shouting ended, the duck-like effeminate voice in Private Room No. 99 sounded again, "Twelve thousand taels"
"The bid for private room No. 88 is 13,000 taels. Is there anyone who bids higher than 13,000 taels?" the auctioneer said loudly.
"Fourteen thousand taels"
After several rounds of price bidding, the price of these twenty-eight pills of longevity has soared, reaching a price of twenty-five thousand taels.
Private room No. 99 was about to mark the twenty-eight longevity pills, and the voice of a drake once again said, "Thirty thousand taels."
Yin Zheng was about to raise her sign and shout again, but Feng Qingzhuang stopped her, "Yin Zheng, that's it, there's no need to shout."
"Is there anyone who has bid 30,000 taels from the guests in private room No. 99 that is higher than 30,000 taels?" After a moment of silence, the auctioneer then shouted: "Thirty thousand taels once, thirty thousand taels twice, and thirty thousand taels are sold three times."
The auctioneer made the final decision, "Congratulations to the guests in private room No. 99 for bidding on twenty-eight longevity pills for thirty thousand taels."
The auction continued, but Shangguan Xuancheng couldn't sit still. He took Eunuch Liu and went straight to the private room No. 88 where Feng Qingzhuang was, wanting to see who was so bold as to dare to compete with him, the ninth-five-year-old of Xingyao Kingdom.
Fight for things?
"Zhuang'er, Shangguan Xuancheng is here." Hearing the approaching footsteps outside the private room, Wu Jingyu leaned on the back of the chair with a lazy and comfortable look.
"You can find whatever you want by asking for the price, I'm afraid of him."
Feng Qingzhuang raised her eyebrows. As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside the private room. She gave Yinzheng a look. Yinzheng moved slightly, opened the door, and invited Shangguan Xuancheng in.
After Shangguan Xuancheng entered the private room for a while, Feng Qingzhuang stood up slowly, turned around and pretended to be surprised and said: "I didn't know that the emperor was here. Qingzhuang was rude, please forgive me."
"Feng Qingzhuang, it is indeed you. I see that you deliberately rushed to take the photo of the twenty-eight longevity pills with me. It was obviously something that could only be taken at a maximum of ten thousand taels, but it took an extra twenty thousand taels to get it."
Shangguan Xuan Chengfeng's eyes were filled with anger and he reprimanded
Yes, yes! I did it on purpose. Otherwise, how could the twenty-eight longevity pills I sent for auction fetch such a high price?
Feng Qingzhuang was so happy in her heart, but her face was as calm as water, and she said apologetically: "The emperor said that, it is really unfair. Qingzhuang, I am not a god. How did I know that the guest in private room No. 99 is the emperor?"
If you, old man, had known that it was the emperor and you, old man, were here, I would not have dared to challenge you even if you gave me ten courages."
"Don't say a word of "old" in front of me." Shangguan Xuancheng's expression changed, he shouted angrily, and continued: "You dare to be disrespectful in front of me. If there is anything else you dare not do, you must have taken it back because you have a grudge against me.
The price of the 50,000 taels of gold from the King of Qing was deliberately raised."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Jingyu's eyes flashed with a faint light, and he suddenly understood. He knew the reason why Feng Qingzhuang was here today. The gold had already been used for a thousand taels. Since the emperor wanted to take it back, the missing gold
Naturally, it will be filled up
As he was talking, suddenly the venue was in a commotion. The auction of the last exhibit had begun on the booth, and the whole venue suddenly became excited.
