Chapter 23 Fun Auction

Some acquaintances get together to drink wine after saying hello, or raise hands with some unfamiliar people to introduce each other.

Those young masters are most interested in the juice inside, and they have to pour out every flavor and taste it, and then choose the flavor they like the most.

In addition, I am also greedy for the snacks outside, and I keep running around.Usually the family is strictly controlled, these young masters rarely have the opportunity to taste so many delicious food outside at one time, no, those bun shops, wonton shops, candied haws, etc., are surrounded by a lot of people.

The time has come (nine o'clock in the morning), and the nobles who came to participate in the bidding meeting are almost all here.

Ji Ziqi made a gesture with the steward Wang, signaling that the time had come to start, and the maids and servants began to arrange the running young masters to be seated.

Steward Wang stepped onto the stage and cleared his throat: "Masters, young masters, and stewards of the mansion, I would like to thank you all for taking the time to participate in the General Banner Competition held by the Su Mansion. .

The master had to go out two days ago because of important business, and it was inconvenient for the wife to meet with you. The young master was young, so Wang expressed his gratitude to you on behalf of the master. "

"There are simple drinks and juices in the mansion. Please feel free to taste them. You can choose the snacks in the restaurant outside this door, etc. You can choose at will. In the end, the Su Mansion will settle the bill. If there is any inappropriate greeting, Mr. Wang I apologize to everyone here, "

After a slight pause, Wang Guanshi continued: "Before entering the bidding meeting, Wang will briefly introduce the rules of this bidding meeting. There are 210 general flags in this bidding meeting, and each general flag has a Embroidered with different names.

Everyone who comes to participate in the bidding, the picture is novelty, so in order to satisfy everyone's novelty, we have adjusted the game rules of this bidding, and it is no longer the highest bidder wins. "

After confirming that everyone's curiosity was aroused, Manager Wang went on to say: "The closer to the original price, the better. What do you mean? Everyone, please listen to me in detail. Ladies and gentlemen, please look at the price in Wang's hand. There is a piece of paper, which states the internal pricing of these titles by everyone in the Su Mansion, ranging from five hundred cash to eight taels of silver, this is the original price."

"My young masters, if you want to get the general flag you like, you only need to guess the price, and the one that is closest to the original price of my Su Mansion will win, and you will get a general flag after you win.

For example, one of the titles "Equaling Heaven" was originally priced at three taels of silver and five hundred renminbi. If three young masters guessed the price, one of them was four taels of silver, one was five taels of silver, and the other If the price is three taels of silver and eight hundred wen, the one who is priced at three taels of silver and eight hundred wen wins. "

The elders and nobles from various prefectures began to show interesting expressions, while the young masters were still a little puzzled.

"There is a general list of all names posted around this table, and on the tables below me, you can see the names of these general flags, which have been placed on them according to their numbers.

Each young master receives five pieces of plain paper based on the general car order written by Su Mansion, that is, there are five chances. For the name that he likes, write your name on the paper, the name of your mansion, and the price you guessed. On the corresponding general flag numbering table, one plain paper can be used for one name, or multiple plain paper can be used for one name, but multiple names cannot be written on one plain paper.The pen and ink are in another place, and we will announce them one by one after all the nobles have finished writing. "

There were murmurs of discussion immediately below, the young masters still didn't understand the rules of the game for a while, why didn't the highest bidder get it?The young masters lowered their heads and touched their bulging purses. Isn't this just begging for nothing?The elders or stewards of each mansion showed satisfaction and surprise, and lowered their heads to explain to their young masters.

Seeing that the voice of the discussion below was getting weaker, Manager Wang said, "Besides, since each young master has five chances to guess the price, it means that some people will win many times, and some people will not be able to win even once. If you are a young master, you can choose your favorite title, the title that won but was not selected will be obtained by the second place in the order, and the top ten young masters with the most number of wins in the final count will also get an additional general flag one side.

After Wang's explanation, I wonder if you have any unclear points to ask Wang? "

The place was quiet, and Manager Wang continued: "During the price guessing process, if you have any doubts, you can consult anyone in the Su Mansion. The price guessing session will start now!"

Following Guanshi Wang's announcement, all the young masters cheered and rushed towards the high platform where all the names were posted.

The elders and stewards of each mansion sat still, smiling and looking at their young master.

After a while, those young masters returned to their seats one after another, with excited faces, discussing with their stewards or elders, how much money and silver should be written down for the name of the general flag they like.

In fact, the elders and stewards of the various governments are helpless about this, because there is no skill at all, it is pure luck.

Ji Ziqi looked at the expressions of everyone on the sidelines, some were excited to the point of distress, because there were only five choices, but he liked too many, and he wanted them all.

Some were muttering in low voices, wouldn't three liang of silver be too little?The steward next to him replied, my young master, this is not about bidding higher, but about bidding more accurately...

Here, Manager Wang is in a state of desperation due to an unexpected situation.

The nobleman who created this situation is the eight or nine-year-old nephew, Young Master He Xiao, who came back from the capital with his parents to visit relatives of the Master He Mansion next door.

Considering that the temporary shops selling food outside would occupy the positions of several nearby households, Manager Wang visited them one by one to explain the reason, and invited the young and old from all the prefectures to come and get together today.

Today, Young Master He in the capital city saw it was fresh and fun, so he came to Su Mansion with the steward of the He Mansion, and saw other young masters playing guessing games, and wanted to play together.

But because he didn't have the general car order slip written by Su Wu in his hand, the boy in charge of providing the note strictly abided by Su Jinyan's pre-Ji Ziqi regulations, and would not give Su Jian without an order.

This young master He started to make a fuss, the steward Wang and the steward of the He family tried to persuade him, but the young master He was the overlord of the family, he would not give up until he got it, the two were helpless, which attracted other people's attention.

After Ji Ziqi inquired about the situation, he asked the servant accompanying Wang Guanshi to find Su Jinyan.
