Chapter 94
1 taels of silver is an astronomical figure.

Although it is said that the richest man in Hangzhou spent 1 taels of silver just to see the beauty, he was not granted.

But something like silver taels is just a number for rich people.

In fact, the purchasing power it represents can be exaggerated and scary.

With only 300 taels of silver, you can buy a luxury house with a large yard in the center of Hangzhou City.

Besides, 1 taels is of course only the starting price, a tentative first-buy price.

The bidder was mentioned by Yi Xing's maid just now, "Scholar without a Brush", a middle-aged man surnamed Wu.

He is capable of both civil and military skills, and has a quick mind, but his handwriting is extremely ugly, and he is often laughed at.

In a fit of anger one day, he simply vowed not to write again, hence his nickname.

Although it was meant as a joke, this person was considered a well-known figure in Hangzhou.

At this moment, he opened his bid to remind everyone: No matter how vulgar or not, the purpose of this trip is to enter the house and see that beauty.

Things that can be solved with money are simple for these people.

"2 million taels."

Nangong Hong's voice resounded, it was still his peculiar wooden and emotional tone.

One million taels of silver!
Everyone was really surprised.

These people have been "battlefields" for a long time, and it is not that they have no qualifications to redeem themselves by bidding for brothel kabuki.

For all bidding, although the final price will be much higher than the starting price, it is also gradual and cumulative.

As soon as Nangong Hong came up, he doubled the price quoted by others, which is really heroic.

If the people behind only add one hundred and 2000 taels, they will look stingy.

"3 taels." The little gentleman, Jian Wen Runyu, has a solid family background. Although he felt that spending 3 taels of silver for such an inconspicuous jade pendant was a bit too expensive, he still shouted.

This opportunity is too rare.

Since Ai Su, the number one beauty in the south of the Yangtze River, first appeared in Zuixianlou a year ago, she has hardly spoken to anyone except playing the piano and singing on stage.

Not to mention being in the same room!

For capable people like them, money can be obtained at any time as long as they are willing.

But if the maverick kabuki in the room was in a bad mood, he might not be in the situation he is today in the future.

It will be too late to regret.

So even though it's not worth it, everyone is still scrambling to be taken advantage of by this jade pendant and buy this jade pendant!
Yi Xing's maid always had a smile on her mouth, and now she smiled even brighter after hearing the quotation from Little Gentleman Jian Wen Runyu.

She said: "Mr. Wen paid 3 taels, which is really generous! Is there anyone else who wants to offer a higher price?"

"5 taels." Nangong Hong said flatly.

"5 taels?" Wen Runyu frowned when he heard that he directly added another 2 taels.

Everyone else couldn't help but exclaim.

Of course, everyone present would not fail to come up with 5 taels.

But it also depends on what the money is spent on.

Even if it is thrown into the water, it can still splash some water, but it doesn't make a sound.

Spending money to buy this jade pendant, I heard from Yi Xing's maid that this is only the first round of tests, and there may not be any tests in the future.

Since Zuixianlou got straight to the point, it proposed the word money.

In the second round, the second round, maybe even the lion will open his mouth and take people for granted.

Thinking of this, the rest of the people shook their heads slightly, thinking that it would be better to have a look at the first round, so they stopped bidding.

That little gentleman, Jian Wen Runyu, thought: "In order to win the beauty's favor, it's okay to give a little more money.

It's just that this Nangonghong seems to be certain to win, and there are Lord Wei and the nephew of Xiangyang Guo Daxia next to him, so my chance of winning today is really not great.

Why bother to compete with them again and hurt your peace?It's better to do things that are easy to do. "

So no more price.

Yang Guo watched from the side, at the moment, he only has the silver taels given by Lin Shao's bodyguard in Fuzhou City.

Although Lin Shao was generous, he gave him a 5000 tael silver ticket as parting farewell, and also presented him with two 20 tael large gold ingots, and some broken silver pieces.

But it is still far from being richer than these local rich men in Hangzhou.

It was useless for Yang Guo to ask for money, he took out the bank notes and gold ingots, handed them to Wei Xiaobao, and said:
"That's all I have.

Let's pool our money together to see if we can make up ten thousand taels. When we bid for the second item, we can try to come up with a starting price. This trip is not in vain. The most important thing is to participate! "

Of course, I said this half-jokingly, and to show that I did my best.

Wei Xiaobao looked at Yang Guo with a smile and said:
"Yang Shaoxia is really loyal. I have met many people. There are very few people like Yang Shaoxia who are willing to help with all their belongings when they first meet."

Yi Xing's maid took a look at the two of them, and when she saw Yang Guo taking out the silver ticket and gold, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and said:
"Mr. Yang is too sincere. Both of you are famous figures in the world, so we at Zuixianlou are afraid that you will renege on your debts?
If you are interested, you can report the number verbally, but you don't have to settle it on the spot. "

Yang Guo knew she had misunderstood, thinking that he was going to pay the bill on the spot, but he didn't bother to explain.

Yi Xing's servant girl asked again: "Young Master Yang, Lord Wei, this Young Master Nangong offered 5 taels, do you want to increase the price?"

Yang Guo couldn't afford it anyway, so he kept silent.

In his perception, in the original Luding world, Wei Xiaobao was worth several million taels of silver or even more, so he was definitely a local tyrant.

However, in this world, although Wei Xiaobao is said to be Duke Lu Ding, he was canonized by the "Emperor of the Northern Dynasties".

Yang Guo never knew who the emperor of the Northern Dynasty was.

Including Mr. Chen, Wei Xiaobao's master, who is also Chen Jinnan and the boss of Chen Jinnan in the original world, are also very different from the original world.

After all, there are still many changes in this world.

Whether Wei Xiaobao had money, Yang Guo really didn't know, whether to increase the price or not, he could only let Wei Xiaobao decide for himself.

Yi Xing's maid waited for a while and found that they hadn't spoken.

It seems that he is unwilling to increase the price.

Everyone present thought so.

Nangong Hong also thought so, he had already walked in front of Yi Xing, and was about to pick up the jade pendant.

Yi Xing is about to announce that the auction is over, the jade pendant is in possession, and this round of competition is over.

But at this moment someone suddenly said: "20 taels."

The voice is not loud, and the feeling of lack of breath, but the number reported is simply shocking.

"20 million taels?"

"Did I hear you right?"

"20 taels, just buy such a dull jade pendant?"

"Is this man crazy?"

Everyone felt that the person who made the price must be crazy.

Looking at the source of the voice, he found that the one who made the offer was the well-known Lord Wei.

Wei Xiaobao still had an unscrupulous expression on his face, seeing everyone looking at him, he repeated:

"I paid 20 taels of silver for this jade pendant."

Only then did everyone become convinced that the childish young man in front of him really offered 20 taels of silver.

Shock!

Although Wei Xiaobao is famous far and wide, his appearance is really too badass.

Since just now, the aura of a rascal in the market that he has shown is too strong.

So everyone praised him superficially, but they really despised him in their hearts.

When he reported the number at this time, everyone became curious about him again.

Is this young man really so capable and rich?

When he was an official in the Northern Dynasty, how much money did he collect?
Everyone present couldn't help but have doubts.

But there was one thing they had absolutely no doubt about.

They absolutely can't afford it.

20 taels of silver, this is already an unimaginable number.

Anyone who can spend 20 taels of silver at will can be called "wealthy country".

Even Nangong Hong froze in place.

He reached out and was about to take the hand of Yupei from Yi Xing's maidservant's hand, but stopped in mid-air awkwardly.

He couldn't make any more offers.

Of course, if he wants to change the property of the seller, he can also make up 10,000+ taels of silver.

But it's just for a woman. As for doing this?

What's more, it's only the first round, it's just the first round of competition!

It can only be said that this Wei Xiaobao is really too ruthless, too merciless!
Relying on the power of her family and the excellent swordsmanship she has practiced since she was a child, Nangong Hong has always been in Hangzhou city like the wind and the rain.

No one dared to disobey him.

He hadn't experienced the feeling of being compared to others for a long time.

But right now, his limelight has been easily overshadowed by the simple matter of the auction!

When he bid 5 taels just now, everyone was shocked by him, and all eyes were on him.

Although he was not complacent, he also took it for granted.

But at this moment, he had to withdraw his outstretched hand, and the embarrassment on his face told everyone present that he backed down!
Nangonghong couldn't help clenching her fists, looking at Yang Guo and Wei Xiaobao, she felt extremely unconvinced!

Yi Xing's maid was also very surprised, but she was well-trained, she immediately returned to normal, gave Wei Xiaobao a sweet smile, and said:
"Master Wei, although you have said it twice, the number you reported is too exaggerated, and I still want to confirm it again——

You just bid 20 taels, didn't you? "

Wei Xiaobao said nonchalantly: "That's right, just 20 taels, I can still afford it."

Just a little bit, everyone was shocked again.

20 taels, it turned out to be only a mere amount.

How rich is this young man who looks like a child!
Everyone has seen the big world, but they were still shocked.

Even Wen Runyu and Nangonghong are no exception.

"Okay! Then the deal is done. This jade pendant is yours, Lord Wei."

Yi Xing didn't wait for Wei Xiaobao to come by herself, she walked over and carefully handed over the jade pendant.

Yang Guo saw from a close distance that the jade pendant in Wei Xiaobao's hand was still covered with a thin transparent shell, it should be a protective layer.

The jade pendant looked dull and inconspicuous at first glance, but upon closer inspection, the jade pendant had magical powers, making people like Yang Guo who didn't know how to do this feel that the jade pendant was very precious.

It may also be because it cost 20 taels of silver to buy it.

To put it bluntly, even if it's a pile of shit, if you spend 20 taels of silver, it will make people want to eat it.

Yi Xing's maid just handed the jade pendant to Wei Xiaobao, but she didn't mention Wei Xiaobao's silver taels.

Yang Guo felt that this was the trust of Zuixianlou in respect of the distinguished guests.

Others were not surprised at all. In their eyes, this jade pendant could be bought at any pawn shop or jewelry store for a few taels of silver—or even a few pennies.

It's about the same as stone.

In this case, of course, Yi Xing's maid would not insist on paying the money and delivering the goods, and it's fine to deliver the goods first.

At this time, the soft voice came from the room again:
"Grandpa Wei is indeed a man of knowledge, and he is willing to pay 20 taels of silver to buy this jade pendant from the slave family without any reason."

Know the goods?

Several people almost laughed out loud.

20 taels of silver to buy a broken stone, is this called knowing the goods?

Everyone in the room, Ai Su, seems to have really taken Wei Xiaobao as a fool.

But this kind of thing, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and no one will tell the truth.

Unspoken.

When Wei Xiaobao heard this voice, half of his soul was taken away, and he replied:

"Girl's stuff is so precious, if I bought it for 20 taels, of course I made a lot of money."

These words are from his heart, not flattery.

He has a personality that can afford to let go, and money comes easily, so he doesn't feel bad about spending it.

If he could get a beautiful woman to smile, he wouldn't frown even if all his money was gone.

The others heard it, but they couldn't help but feel that he had swollen his face to make himself fat, and he didn't hesitate to let blood out in order to please the beauty.

However, at this time the woman in the room suddenly sighed.

This sound seemed like nothing, it was low and soft, and it fascinated the men outside.

Those with stronger concentration are thinking that if there are fairies in the sky, they should sigh like this.

As for the more lewd ones, I thought dirtyly in my heart:
When this woman is happy, what kind of tone will she sigh and moan?
The woman sighed and said again:

"Judging from Lord Wei's voice, you should be still young, I only think you must be lucky to become a famous person in the world.

But after hearing what you said just now, I am convinced that Lord Wei has such a precise vision, and it is by no means a coincidence that you can accomplish those great things that are admirable. "

What is she talking about?

Everyone couldn't help being surprised again.

What Wei Xiaobao said just now meant that he made money by spending 20 silver on this jade pendant.

This woman actually said that he has good eyesight?
Isn't this ignorant of conscience and changing ways to forcibly praise others?
Everyone couldn't help shaking their heads, saying that bitches are ruthless and actors are ruthless.

It's hard to talk about the noble character of brothel women.

In the hearts of these people, Ai Su couldn't help being underestimated.

But she immediately went on to say:
"This jade pendant was given to me by a prince of a small country when my family was traveling around in foreign countries.

In my hand for a long time, the slave family has never been aware of the value of this jade pendant. Seeing that this jade pendant is nothing special, I only think it is an ordinary thing.

Until three months ago, when the slave family went to Suzhou City, they had the honor to meet Mr. Murong.

He happened to see this jade pendant that day, and he was extremely surprised. After borrowing it from the slave's family for a long time, he asserted that it was unusual.

The slave family asked him for advice, and after his explanation, I suddenly knew the origin of this thing. "

"What? Suzhou City, Mr. Murong?"

This time it was Yang Guo who exclaimed.

Originally, he didn't have much enthusiasm for so-called comparisons and auctions, he just followed Wei Xiaobao on the sidelines and found it interesting, that's all.

Now when the woman in the room mentioned "Mr. Murong", Yang Guo was very interested and couldn't help asking.

The rest of the people were also surprised, and asked in the same way: "Young Master Murong? Is it Young Master Murong from Gusu Murong's family in Yanziwu?"

"Exactly." The woman in the room said.

Everyone couldn't help but think: even Gusu Murong thinks it's extraordinary, isn't this jade pendant truly a peerless treasure?
