When they heard that Da Zhou won in the end, the people surrounding the workbench looked in disbelief:
"What??? Did I hear it correctly? How come Da Zhou won???"

"My dear mother, isn't it said in the rumors that this great Zhou knows nothing about embroidery and cloth? He still has to rely on relief from the ancient Tang Dynasty! What's going on!"

"What should we do? I just bet half of my wealth on the Ancient Tang Kingdom. Who knew that the Ancient Tang Kingdom would be so upset!"

"That little girl just now was really amazing!"

"Yes, yes, yes! That little girl just bet 300 taels here! Now she has made a lot of money! Hey, they say children can see clearly. If I had known this, I should have bet on Da Zhou!"

Someone rolled their eyes at him and said, "You guys don't even know who that little girl is! This is not someone we can afford to offend!"

Everyone looked in the direction that the man's finger was pointing - the little girl who had just confidently pledged the 300 taels of silver notes to Da Zhou was standing on the stage.

At this moment, the old lady Bai on the stage was holding Du Li's hand with a smile on her face, while Du Jia on the side was crying and holding a Da Zhou sign in her mouth.

And the "little girl" they called her was standing between Du Jia and Shun Hedi, smiling brightly.

"Is this the little princess of the Great Zhou Kingdom? The little princess held in the palm of the tyrant of the Great Zhou Kingdom?"

"Yeah." The man who pointed out Mingyan to everyone shrugged and said, "You guys, just lose money and don't think about anything wrong."

The man was right: in this huge gamble, some people gambled hugely, and they really wanted to default on the debt or steal from the little girl. But at this moment, when they heard Mingyan's identity, the thoughts that were about to move in their hearts suddenly stopped. fire.

Who is so bold as to challenge the Emperor of Zhou?

Several people quickly thought over and over whether they had done anything rude to the little princess in front of the Emperor Zhou.

Seeing everyone's panic, the man sneered and said leisurely: "I can see that Emperor Zhou is in a good mood today. You are all smart people. Do what you should do in a while."

Several people couldn't help wiping their sweat: "Of course, of course."

. . . . . .

Mingyan followed Emperor Shunhe back to the hotel to rest.

Just now, Guyu told them that all the embroidery will be auctioned at the grand auction house, the center of the island, and the final mysterious reward will be announced at that time, as long as a few people go there at that time.

The auction starts in one and a half hours.

After a while, Emperor Shunhe took Mingyan back to the hotel to rest.

Mrs. Bai left Du Li and Du Jia behind, telling them to stay with her to reminisce about the past, and at the same time teach them some novel embroidery techniques.

Emperor Shunhe agreed.

At night.

Several people took a carriage to the big auction house.

Sure enough, it is indeed the most central building on the entire island - the entire grand auction house is magnificent and magnificent. The entrance is heavily guarded, and even the ground, which has always been paved with blue bricks, is now inlaid with gold bricks.

so rich!
Mingyan's eyes were staring straight at the gold bricks on the ground, and her eyes were glued to them and refused to leave.

Seeing his precious daughter's distracted look, Emperor Shunhe seemed to have read through Mingyan's inner thoughts and couldn't help but laugh.

Entered the big auction house.

The waitress guided them to the corresponding box.

They were honored guests and were placed in the best places.

The maid opened the door for them - Du Jia and Du Li were already sitting inside.

When they saw Emperor Shunhe and Mingyan, they couldn't hide the joy on their faces, and they quickly stood up and bowed to Emperor Shunhe.

Emperor Shunhe waved his hand and said, "You don't have to stick to these etiquettes outside. Just skip them. You are my great heroes today! Get up!"

The mother and daughter thanked Emperor Shunhe and waited until Emperor Shunhe and Mingyan sat down before sitting down and then looked up at the auction table in front of them.It was their first time to come to such a place.

Shocked.

Thinking that their embroidery could be auctioned at a high price in a place like this, Du Li and Du Jia looked at each other and were obviously very happy.

Especially after receiving Mrs. Bai's generous support and repeated praise.

Suddenly, there were crowds of people in front, as if the auction had begun, and the auctioneer slowly walked out from behind the scenes.

“Welcome everyone to the grand auction!”

The auctioneer was wearing a black and white robe, with an elegant smile on his face, deep eyes, and a businesslike look.

The whole audience suddenly burst into warm applause.

The auctioneer seemed very satisfied with the enthusiastic response. He nodded slightly, then stretched out his right hand and said loudly:
"The first auction item! Embroidery from the Ancient Tang Dynasty! It was embroidered by the very noble concubine of the Ancient Tang Dynasty and the old lady from a famous embroidery family! It is definitely a treasure in the world!"

Mingyan was lying on the window of the box, watching the auctioneer looking behind her without blinking -
Several maids carefully took out Liang Fei's embroidery and displayed it.

It is indeed exquisite, but it is still inferior to the embroidery of Du Jia and her daughter.

Mingyan narrowed her eyes: However, the ancient Tang Dynasty was also quite familiar with the ways of businessmen - first display the host country's embroidery to show the host country's greatest sincerity, and let the emperors of other countries take a look at their embroidery. It can get No. 1, but it’s not bad either.

At least he won a round in terms of face.

The auctioneer looked at ease and said: "I announce that the bidding will begin now! The starting price is 500 taels of silver!"

Sure enough, when someone started bidding——
"550 taels!"

"I'll pay 600 taels of silver!!!"

"Please, that is the treasure of the good concubine! I will pay you 800 taels!"

Indeed, one of the reasons why some people try to buy this embroidery at a high price is so that one day, if he is in trouble, he can use this embroidery to go to the ancient Tang Dynasty to seek help from a good concubine.

"800 taels!!!"

Bidding continues.

"I give 1000 taels!"

Obviously, when the price reached more than 1000 taels, there were significantly fewer people bidding.

"One thousand five hundred taels!"

"I'll give you 1000 and two hundred taels! Don't fight with me!!!"

"One thousand five hundred taels!"

When someone shouted "One thousand, five hundred taels", the whole place froze instantly.

The area of ​​​​this embroidery is not outstanding. The price of ordinary embroidery produced by the old lady in the ancient Tang Dynasty only fluctuated around 200 taels.

Logically speaking, one thousand, two hundred taels is enough.

Even the good concubine in the box below was startled. She turned her head to look at her grandmother and said incoherently:
"Grandma! One thousand, five hundred taels!"

The old lady patted Liang Fei's hand and said, "Don't be impatient and let him take the picture."

The good concubine was silent again.

As expected, the embroidery was bought for one thousand, five hundred taels of silver.
