Chapter 246 Auction

Just after the hour, the door of the unusually noisy 'Welcome Building' in the past was closed, and the two bright forbidden soldiers held spears and guarded the street and surrounded the restaurant.

On the side of the street, there are many carriages and soft sedan chairs. The people on it are all silk silk, with a scarf on his head, a fragrant fan in his hand, and looking at the 'Welcome Building' guarded by heavy soldiers. His face is anxious and his eyes are struggling.

Most of them are prominent businessmen from rich families. They received the news of the auction a few months ago and arrived early. Even if it was earlier than the people who entered, they did not dare to step into it first.

Even if these books are just copies, these people know the weight of these copies, and they can bring tens of thousands of thousands of cash and rush to Bianliang to buy books. Naturally, they also understand that this three-day auction can't be entered on the first day.

Even if you are rich, who has the courage to compete with the dignitaries in the court?

In front of him, the carriage parked on the edge of the restaurant casually pulled out one. Which one is not the powerful minister who shook the court? Otherwise, can those driving servants pedal their noses to the sky?

Under the pressure of anger, these rich businessmen from all over the world nestled in their own carriages or sedan chairs. They did not move forward or leave, so they sat quietly like this, as if to listen carefully to the sound in the restaurant.

In the welcome building, Yang Yanzhao took Zhang Qian, Li Zhi and the bosses in the court who came one after another. Of course, the other party probably snorted and ignored it.

For this, Yang Yanzhao, who has a low status, does not care about it, and he knows in his heart that although these people are all scholars, now they hold heavy power, these treasures may not be so important to them.

The reason why I came here is to please the Lord in the palace.

Most of the people who came in first came in were waiters. After these third-grade officials came in, although they had nostrils facing Yang Yanzhao and did not give a straight face, no one dared to sit down. Fortunately, the room was big enough, and dozens of people stood, but it did not seem crowded.

I don't know if it was an appointment in advance, or a coincidence. After a group of three-grade officials, it was the second-grade Shangshu and imperial history, followed by the first-class prince Shaobao, the Privy Envoy and a group of old ministers with white hair.

Lu Duoxun, Shen Lun, Zhao Pu and even Pu, the Duke of Qi, who has rarely been out for a long time, also arrived.

For a while, the room became a place for officials and courtiers to talk about the past, and of course, Yang Yanzhao, a younger generation, could only wait aside. After a while, he heard a cheerful laughter and raised his head, but saw Zhao Tingmei and Zhao Dezhao's uncle and nephew talking and laughing, walking hand in hand.

"I've seen the King of Qi and the King of Yan!"

The ministers who were gossiping saluted in unison. The two of them waved their hands repeatedly and said that there was no need for courtesy. They came forward gently. After a period of greeting, they sat on the first row of mahogany chairs, but the upper seat was empty.

After Zhao Tingmei's uncle and nephew, Wang Pu and others sat down, the other courtiers also sat down in a very orderly way. At a glance, the high and low were clearly visible.

As for those low-grade officials, they can only stand beside the government officials who follow them. Among them, Yang Yanzhao saw Wen Zhongshu and Han Guohua standing behind Zhao Pu, as well as Xiang Minzhong, who followed Zhao Tingmei, and Lv Mengzheng, who followed the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

After everyone took their seats, Yang Yanzhao looked at the hourglass in front of the case. At three o'clock, it was about to arrive. He was thinking about how to open his mouth, so that these old ministers who usually did not look at his court entered the auction.

not far away, Zhao Tingmei, who was laughing with the people around her, raised her head and nodded to him, and then coughed, "Lord Yang, since the time is almost time, you might as well start. All of you are greedy for your precious eyes!"

When the words fell, others shave their beards with an undeniable smile. Even if their status is detached, there are few people who know the existence of these treasures.

Now that I'm here, even if I don't want to buy it, as an elegant lady, I still want to see the strange book written by the ancients.

When Zhao Tingmei opened his mouth, the room became quiet. Yang Yanzhao bowed to the crowd, saluted, strode to the pear blossom sandalwood case, cleared his throat, and was ready to start the long-planned auction.

"Ouch, our family is late. I hope the prince and all the adults will forgive us!"

When the voice fell, Wang Jien was dressed in a round-neck inner service of a yellow painted cloud embroidered python. Surrounded by three or five little eunuchs, he came in with a smile on his face.

Seeing the celebrities around the official family, the ministers naturally got up and said those polite words. After a greeting, Wang Jien half pushed and half sat in the seat left at Zhao Tingmei's head, smiling like a flower, "Your Highness, my lord, let's sit down rudely."

Handing the dust in his hand to Li He beside him and holding the tea handed over, "Lord Yang, our family will not waste your time. Let's start."

It seems a little inappropriate for a eunuch to speak like this, but the ministers sitting there were not much.

Hearing this sentence, Yang Yanzhao walked to the front of the case and made a salute to the place of the imperial city. Then he said, "Dear gentlemen, the reason for this auction, the subordinate will not say much. After these scriptures are opened later, you will not be unfamiliar with it, and this trip will not be in vain.

This time, the rules of the auction are also very simple. The higher the price is the better. In this way, the subordinate will begin.

With that, Yang Yanzhao bowed to the crowd. Next to him, Zhang Qian and Li Zhi bowed in front of him. Zhang Qian opened the first brocade box, and Li Zhi took out the 'returning'.

Seeing 'Gui Zang', the courtiers who were prepared in their hearts couldn't help but put away their smiles and stared at the blue cover, full of consternment.

"Guizang's "Guizang" is one of the three easy, which is as famous as Lianjing and Zhou Yi. I didn't expect that there would be such a strange book in my dynasty. It's really unexpected. Xiao Wang offered 10,000 taels."

After a period of silence, before Yang Yanzhao could say the reserve price, Zhao Dezhao, the king of Yan, took the lead in issuing the price. Although 10,000 taels sounded a lot, compared with 'returning to Tibet', it was still pitiful. It was only clear that the king of Yan liked to deduce divinations, and naturally he would not come forward to compete with him.

Of course, there is another reason that this 'return to Tibet' is a copy, and there are three volumes, which is no longer the only and supreme price in the world.

But this price is still less, but Yang Yanzhao also knows in his heart that Zhao Dezhao has given him a favor. If the first opening is 5,000, the tone of today's auction is 5,000.

Who will be rich at this time?

Ten thousand taels of silver, no one raised the price, so this first raise fell into the hands of Zhao Dezhao.

"Thank you, Uncle Wang, for giving up his love with you."

After getting his beloved thing, Zhao Dezhao was very happy and said with a smile on his left and right. The others all said congratulations and congratulations with a smile on their faces.

The next book is 'Bamboo Book Chronicle'. It seems that no one made a sound. Zhao Tingmei, who took a sip of tea, put down the cup in her hand and sighed, "I'm greedy, but the silver in my hand can't be put on the table. It's really annoying!"

"Ha ha, with history can be clear today, this bamboo book, the subordinate is also a little interested. Coincidentally, he also has some spare money in his hand, so he pays 10,000 taels. Why don't you want to have an adult beauty?"

With his beard, Zhao Pu said with a smile. As soon as he said this, the others who were whispering suddenly stopped their voices and looked at Zhao Tingmei and Zhao Pu as if there seemed to be nothing. For a moment, no one asked about the "Bamboo Book Chronicle" instead.

After a long time, I heard a cheerful voice. Zhao Tingmei picked up the cup with a smile and took a sip, "Since Zhao Taibao likes it, how can I get people's favor?"

"Ha ha, the prince is really a gentleman, and the subordinate is here to thank the prince."

Zhao Pu smiled and included the 'Bamboo Book Chronicle' into his bag. On his left hand, Wang Puqing, who had not spoken, coughed twice. "Speaking of which, I just wanted to have a look at it. I didn't expect that my heart was also itchy. It's just that I've been shabby for many years, and I can't take out 10,000 taels of silver. If possible, which adult is willing to be with me. Half bid, can you find a good writer to copy the book later?

As soon as this word fell, Zhao Tingmei clapped her hands and said, "Good, I also think it's excellent for the old prince to say so."

Wang Pu narrowed his eyes, stroked his beard and smiled at the corners of his mouth. Before he spoke, Wang Jien over there coughed a few times, stretched out an orchid finger, and said to Zhao Tingmei, "Since the prince has said excellent things, we also want to join in the fun. It's better to count our family."

"If the prince likes it, I will welcome it very much."

This time, Wang Pu took the lead in making a sound, still brushing his beard, but the smile at the corners of his eyes was a little stronger.

The three of them joined hands, and 10,000 taels of silver were naturally not a problem. The 'Chu Han Chunqiu' auctioned below also had a place to go. With this one, the remaining seven books were also bought by other courtiers who came in twos and threes.

The auction ended in just over an hour. Everyone in the room laughed and left. The auctioned silver was not given on the spot. After all, they are all face-to-faced figures. How could they carry the silver with them? They just made an appointment to send it to the 'Welcome Building' tomorrow.

In the palace, in the Zichen Hall, Wang Jien stood up and sat high. Zhao Guangyi waved his hand for a long time. "Go down and go back and list the people who bought the scriptures at today's auction."

"I just understand."

Wang Ji'en carefully retreated outside the hall, and a soft smile sounded behind him, "These guys spent so little money to buy my baby. It's really unwilling."
