The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 286 Auction
Qin Yuxin has been in Yanlai Tower for more than ten years, and she is naturally familiar with it, so letting Qin Yuxin take the stage will have the best effect. If Qin Bingyue goes up, the atmosphere that night will definitely be embarrassing.

"Miss Bingyue's personality is not suitable for this job." Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "So, I still have to work on the lady boss."

Qin Yuxin smiled, and didn't say anything else, just nodded in agreement.

The time was almost up, Xuan Shijing, Jin Yang and Qin Bingyue stood on the third floor like this, looking down at the people on the first and second floors.

As the opening of this auction, in order to mobilize the enthusiasm of many people downstairs, Qin Bingyue decided to perform a dance at the beginning. This effect is definitely not comparable to Qin Yuxin's few words.

It was almost time, so Qin Bingyue went back to her room to change clothes and prepare to start.

The visitors of Yanlailou did not receive the news that Qin Bingyue would be opening today. The invitation only stated that there would be a charity auction in Yanlailou today. In order to help Liaodong, some exquisite artifacts would be auctioned. Some merchants are naturally eyeing some of these things. The things that can be sold in such a big battle in Yanlai Building are naturally not ordinary products. The most indispensable for noble and wealthy merchants. It is money, what they are after is just the word "taste", not to mention that the invitation said that this auction will be engraved into a stone tablet according to the total bid price, and it will be erected in Chang'an City for the world to admire for three months.

This is a great opportunity to make a name for yourself.

All in all, an invitation, together with Qin Bingyue's opening dance, brought too many surprises to everyone. You know, since the painting boat in Yanlai Building was attacked by assassins in Xuanwu Lake, Qin Bingyue has been She had never shown her face in front of everyone, and everyone speculated that Qin Bingyue might have been frightened during the assassination.

Qin Bingyue disguised herself very well in front of everyone, she was cold, but yet weak, but who would have imagined that the person who saved everyone on the boat that day was precisely the number one person in Yanlai Tower? , a soft sword, superb.

The opening dance was still the same as in the past, with flowing sleeves and light dancing, which was amazing.

After the song ended, Qin Bingyue went straight up to the third floor without stopping any longer, ready to change into clothes and watch tonight's auction together with Xuan Shijing and Jin Yang.

After Qin Bingyue changed her clothes, she saw Xuan Shijing and Princess Jinyang still standing in the corridor on the third floor, so she took Xuan Shijing and Jinyang to find an empty room on the third floor, facing the window and downstairs. see.

In the arena, a servant first moved the table case to the stage, and then four servants from Yanlai Building laboriously lifted two large boxes and placed them next to the table case on the stage. At the same time, Qin Yuxin also walked down.

"Guests, I must have invited you all to Yanlai Tower today, and everyone knows why, so I won't say anything about Yuxin. Of course, the important thing is to tell everyone." Qin Yuxin smiled, eyes Move to one side, motioning to the servant next to him to remove the red cloth next to him.

After receiving Qin Yuxin's signal, the young man lifted the red cloth away, and a blank stone tablet that had been carved stood on one side, and under the light of the lamp, it was covered with a layer of pale golden brilliance.

"It was also mentioned in the invitation that this auction is all about raising money, food and supplies for the disaster victims in Liaodong and the border guards. Therefore, tonight, according to the level of the auction sponsor's contribution, it will be ranked on this stone tablet. People pay their respects, and then they will be sent to Guiyuan Temple to be blessed by the master."

Xuan Shijing's disbelief in Buddhism doesn't mean that these dignitaries don't believe in it. Qin Yuxin made good use of the psychology of these people and said such words, which also made everyone more recognized for this auction.

If you want others to have the desire to spend money, you must make them happy.

There are many benefits, and it is not too much to wish for this money. What's more, there will definitely be something worth the money when the time comes, and you won't return empty-handed.

Of course, the news of the merchants is always more vivid than the news of those nobles. Some merchants have long heard that there is Dongshan Hou Mansion behind this auction. If this event can establish a good relationship with Xuanwulou's shopkeeper Qiandui, the business in Chang'an will be taken care of in the future.

Among businessmen, what they pay attention to is multiple friends and multiple paths.

In this way, those who are popular will not be stingy with those yellow and white things in their pockets.

The first item at the beginning was something Xuan Shijing dumped out of his own warehouse.

Speaking of the origin, there are some. According to Qian Dui, when the caravan of the Hou Mansion returned from the Western Regions, they passed through the desert and saw the remains of a caravan buried in the desert. Seeing it, it was inevitable that the rabbit died and the fox felt sad, so he buried the remains of the caravan, and brought back the goods scattered in the sand along with it.
Although it is said that Tang's caravans communicated frequently with the West through the Silk Road, compared with Byzantine goods and others, the quantity is still slightly insufficient.

And the caravan folded in the desert, judging from the clothing and clothing, is the caravan from the east of Byzantium.

It is said that rare things are valuable, what Qin Yuxin took out was a typical Byzantine-style golden earrings, a pair of two earrings, made of pure gold, square rhombus, with hollows in the middle, and a pair of earrings. Inlaid with red and blue two-color round beads agate in turn.

Although compared with the jewelry of Tang Dynasty, it is less exquisite, but it has more exotic style.

Qin Yuxin held up the earrings with both hands, walked to the front of the stage, let everyone see clearly, then walked back to the table, and said: "This is a pair of gold earrings from Byzantium in the Western Regions, solemn and simple, with nine agates hanging on them , everyone present here also knows that Byzantium is far away from Tang Dynasty, and there is a vast desert in the middle, so there are not many goods and jewelry from Byzantium in Chang'an, if any nobleman likes it, he can directly ask for the price. "

Qin Yuxin didn't mention the low price, and the people present would not underestimate the value of the earrings. Just because they came from Byzantium, this is the value of the item itself.

No matter which dynasty or generation it is in, foreign countries always have a fuller moon in certain matters.

"One hundred strings!"

Some merchants started bidding on the spot. If they got it, it would be a good choice whether it was resold or used as a gift.

"Two hundred."

"Three hundred strings."

"Five hundred guan!" The young man present proudly shouted the price of five hundred guan.

This kind of jewelry, on weekdays, three hundred guan is already a top price, but at this auction, it can often be sold for about twice the usual price.

Xuan Shijing followed the voice and looked around, but he saw an acquaintance. The person who called for the price was not Marshal Zhao who was wearing the clothes to help stun the assassin that day.
