Wentang

Chapter 275

The hype of this auction was too hot, and the items sold were so rare that most of the idlers in Chang'an City came to watch the excitement.

In order to maintain order, the imperial court specially sent a battalion of imperial troops into Dongshi, not to mention the yamen of Wuhou and the county government, which had been scattered on the street long ago.

Just at noon, hundreds of people gathered outside the gate of Liuli Pavilion, crowding this section of the road.Seeing this, many people who intend to participate in the auction frowned, it was too messy.

Are they going to squeeze in with these lowly people?I can't afford to lose that person.Many people even retreated.

But their concerns were quickly resolved.

In the afternoon, the gate of the Liuli Pavilion opened, and when the waiting crowd was about to squeeze in, they saw a large group of people coming out of the gate.

A man in charge came out with a gong in his hand, and there was a 'dang' sound, and the noisy crowd immediately fell silent, before he said: "Today's auction can only be entered by those who intend to bid. Do not enter."

Now the crowd is like a frying pan, won't let us in?What's the matter, don't you look down on people?Believe it or not, we blocked the door for you and didn't let anyone in.

The manager was also a person who had seen the big world, and he didn't panic at all when facing the excited crowd. He stretched out his hand and saw a group of soldiers in armor rushing out of the store with a murderous look.

The crowd became silent for an instant, and then they took the initiative to get out of the way without anyone saying anything.

Seeing this situation, Wang Lu was very satisfied, and immediately led Wang Yuanzhuo and several other servants through the crowd to enter the store.

"Wang Langjun wait a minute." Who would have thought that even the steward stopped him.

"Why, even I can't enter?" Wang Lu said displeased.

"No, Wang Langjun can come to the shop to flourish, why wouldn't you welcome him. It's just that some rules haven't been finished yet, why don't you wait for a while?" The manager said politely.

"Okay, no rules and no rules, just tell me." Although he was very unhappy, Wang Lu still said with a smile for the sake of grace.

The person in charge turned to express his thanks, and then faced the crowd and said, "Every guest who intends to participate in the auction needs to pay a deposit of [-] Guan. Of course, this money will be returned to you when you leave the venue."

One hundred strings?Margin?Many people gasped, the standard is high.

A large number of people who originally wanted to join in the fun gave up their unrealistic thoughts. The deposit required a hundred guan, and the price of those colored glazes would only be more terrifying, they couldn't afford it.

The steward paused for a while, and waited for everyone to digest the news before continuing: "This shop is too small to accommodate many people, so you can only bring one assistant to enter."

"Of course, considering that some distinguished guests need more servants to serve them, we have specially prepared several boxes, and the distinguished guests who enter the boxes can bring five servants."

"Are there any conditions for entering the box?" Wang Lu immediately asked at the side.

"Wang Langjun is wise, the [-]-guan security deposit will not be refunded for the distinguished guests who use the box." The manager smiled.

"Hiss..." Even Wang Lu felt a toothache at this time, and the one-hundred-peat price will not be refunded, which means that the use price of this box is one hundred pennies.That's a whole hundred guan, and his monthly allowance is only [-] guan.

Are the people in Liuli Pavilion crazy about money, or are they treating others as fools?Who would spend that wrong money.

However, as soon as he thought about it, he heard someone shouting: "I want a box."

Under the envious eyes of everyone, a man whose waistline was almost as tall as his height walked over with the support of four young and beautiful maids.

When he arrived at the door, he first bowed to Wang Lu and said: "A certain Zhu Ying in Yangzhou has met Wang Langjun."

"Zhu Ying? Could it be that big businessman in Yangzhou? I heard that his family's wealth is piled up like a mountain." At this time, a familiar passer-by said loudly in the crowd.

"Let me just say, who would spend this unreasonable money? It's not surprising to see that it's Boss Zhu." The familiar passer-by said.

"Only those who are noble and don't care about money deserve to use the box." The familiar passer-by C said.

"Noble status? Who can compare to Qiwang with five surnames... Mmmmm..." Passer-by Ding said unconvinced.It's just that he just said half of what he said before being dragged away by A, B and C beside him covering his mouth.

However, these four people left, but their words had already been spoken, and everyone's eyes turned to Wang Lu.

At the beginning, Wang Lu felt very proud of being under the spotlight, but now it felt like being stabbed with thousands of needles, which was very uncomfortable.

He was absolutely unwilling to pay that wronged money, but now... riding a tiger is hard to get off, he finally realized for himself what this word means.

It was Wang Yuanzhuo beside him who was decisive and said directly: "My Taiyuan Wang family also wants a box."

Then the eyes of the people who eat melons changed from suspicion to admiration. As expected, they are worthy of five surnames and seven hopes, rich.

"Wang Langjun really deserves to be a child of a noble family. He is magnificent. Please come in." The manager said with admiration.

But Wang Lu felt his whole body ached, it was stupid to spend this money.He didn't care about showing off anymore, and hurried into the Liuli Pavilion with his head down.

Especially when he saw that the so-called box was just a small room with a table, a few chairs and a pot of inferior tea, his whole body began to ache.

The steward of the Liuli Pavilion over there shouted loudly: "There are only eight boxes left, and interested customers please hurry up."

Then I heard people around shouting loudly: "I, Wang Fugui of Suzhou, want one." "I want one of Quanzhou Qianduoduo." If you just listen to the voice, twenty boxes are not enough.

Now those aristocratic families who were still hesitating couldn't sit still.When the time comes, everyone else will be sitting in the noble boxes, and they will be sitting with ordinary merchants. Do you want the face of the aristocratic family?
It seems that this wronged money can't be spent.

As for whether it will be repaired by the owner when I go back... Don't be afraid, the Taiyuan Wang family bought it... We bought the box for the sake of the family's face.

"I, Fanyang Lu, want one." "I, Boling Cui, want one."

In the blink of an eye, all ten private rooms were occupied, and basically all of them fell into the hands of Wu Xing Qiwang.

Among them, the Li family from Zhaojun had no choice but to buy one from Zhu Ying, a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou, at a high price because they arrived late.

After some hype, the style of the box changed immediately, and many people kept stomping their feet and sighing because they didn't get it.Even Wang Lu suddenly felt that the inferior tea in his hand was not so bad.

At the same time, on the top floor of a shop next door, several people were witnessing all this.

"Second Brother Li, I won." Yue Shan smiled.

Li Shimin shook his head, took out a piece of gold cake from his bosom and threw it to Yue Shan, he said puzzledly: "Are these people fools? Why are they willing to pay such wronged money?"
