Chapter 677 What a cheap house
The auction in Lanzhou was not big, but there were many dignitaries and dignitaries, all of them in rich clothes. After seeing these people, Li Xiaoman trembled all over, for fear of saying the wrong thing or doing the wrong thing.

Yuanbao held her hand and said, "Sister Xiaoman, don't be afraid. I am the county lord. If you stay by the county lord's side, are you afraid that people who are not discerning will cause trouble for you? Peace of mind."

After Yuan Bao said this, Li Xiaoman was shocked to realize that he had come with the county master today. He immediately relaxed a little and let the waiter take them to find a place to do it.

Xu Chongjie brought a sign over and said to the two of them: "Yuanbao, Xiaoman, if you see something you like on the stage later, just say, raise the sign and ask for the price. The one with the highest price will get it."

Yuanbao nodded, understanding this rule. Li Xiaoman also understood it, but she had no money at all. She just accompanied her to see the lantern festival and see the world. How could she dare to raise a placard.

Soon, the auction officially started. The people in the front were all side dishes, and the auction items were all jewelry or ornaments, or 'antiques' passed down from the border. The main event was yet to come.

"Xiaoman, if you like anything, tell me and I'll buy it for you." Xu Chongjie glanced at Li Xiaoman. He didn't forget that he was out on a 'date' today.

Li Xiaoman waved his hand, "I don't particularly like anything. Just look at it, Brother Ajie, and don't worry about me."

"Then I'll buy it. I think that jade hairpin is quite beautiful. The starting price is only six taels of silver. I'll give it to you." Xu Chongjie smiled slightly, knowing that the value of the hairpin on the stage was at least 20 taels.

Before Li Xiaoman could refuse, he raised a sign and asked for seven taels of silver. Someone bid, but in the end, Xu Chongjie bought it for 11 taels of silver and gave it to Li Xiaoman.

Li Xiaoman immediately panicked, always feeling that what he was holding in his hand was not a hairpin, but a piece of hot coal.

Soon, the auction progressed to the follow-up, and all the items came up.

That is, carriages, furniture, or things of higher value.

What interests Yuanbao the most is the pearls on the stage. The white pearls the size of eyeballs actually fetched a high price of 500 taels of silver. She couldn't help but think of the colorful pearls she put in the space.

It was originally intended to be given to Pei Yu, but after many twists and turns, it was not given. If it were to be auctioned, 1000 taels of silver would have to be available, right?Yuan Bao thought like this and secretly said that she was a little rich woman.

However, he had no intention of selling it, and he was not short of money, so it was naturally better to keep the treasure in his own hands.

"Uncle, I want to buy this house." Yuan Bao saw the attendant on the stage unfolding a painting, which showed a large and elegant house with two entrances and two exits.
The starting price was only 300 taels of silver. Yuanbao was inevitably moved. He explained to Xu Chongjie: "The third uncle and his wife are doing business in the city. It takes too much time to go back and forth. My brothers are studying in a book school and living in a dormitory all the time is not a good idea." It’s okay, besides, our family often has the opportunity to go to the city. Sometimes we have to find an inn to stay overnight, so it’s better to buy a house. I think it’s pretty cheap anyway.”

Compared to the Jinxiu Street shop or the flour workshop she bought, this house is a great deal.

Xu Chongjie nodded, "Then how much should we bid?"

Yuan Bao thought for a while, "Let's ask for 500 taels first! Let's see if anyone grabs it."

"Yeah." Xu Chongjie raised his sign and called for 500 taels of silver.

Such a good house, only if no one robs it is there a ghost.

The price has soared to one thousand, four hundred taels of silver. As the ingots come and go, only a few people bid against me, and now there are only two left.

He simply took the bidding sign and raised it, saying in a milky voice: "2000 taels."
