Everyone can summarize the past events, and therefore, as soon as the news came out that the chief zodiac sign of Chengguo Palace was celebrating his birthday, half of Kyoto was shocked.
But everyone knows the value of auction photography. Anyone who has a piece of auction photography can exchange it for millions of dollars. Who doesn't know how profitable it is to organize an auction?
When Xu Yi and Xia Zimo arrived, the ten-mile long street in front of the Duke's Mansion was packed with people, congratulators gathered, and traffic was so busy that it was impossible to see beyond.
"This way, this way"
Xia Zimo pulled Xu Yi and squeezed out from the crowd. He pointed at an absurdly tall gilded bronze door and said, "Don't you have one? Let's enter through this door."
Only then did Xu Yi see the sign erected outside the door, and then he scanned it left and right, and then he figured it out.
It turned out that the Duke's Mansion had already prepared several doors, corresponding to the identities of the congratulators from each party.
The one in front of me is particularly majestic and magnificent, and is obviously the main entrance.
Dai Viet has great honors, and officials have the highest status, even surpassing the second generation of nobles who have not achieved any honors. It is very appropriate that the main entrance of the Duke's palace is reserved for officials.
Xu Yi showed off his green jade ring, accepted a simple verification, and easily led Xia Zimo into the Duke's Mansion.
Upon entering the mansion, there was a man in a yellow shirt sitting in front of him with a pen and ink. The new guests in front of him took out their gold tickets to submit their names and recorded their names.
Xu Yi didn't expect that the dignified Duke's palace would not even hide his greed. He called out a golden ticket worth a thousand gold and stepped forward.
If Xu Yi hadn't kept that license plate in mind, he would have really wanted to give it to Zhang Shijin.
Huang Shan'er was about to take it, but Xia Zimo took action first and took away Xu Yi's golden ticket. He handed over a golden ticket and smiled. "Xu Yi from ten households, congratulations 20,000 gold!"
Huang Shaner recorded it as told. &1;&;Slid out a sign from his sleeve and slipped it quietly into Xia Zimo's hand.
Xia Zimo remained calm and pulled Xu Yi away.
Naturally, this move could not be hidden from Xu Yi. He asked, but Xia Zimo just pretended to be profound and did not answer. He pulled Xu Yi through the arch and entered the courtyard.
Not long after. Xu Yi saw the faint light of the jade plaque in her hand, and then, under Xia Zimo's pull, he came to an arch door. At this time, more than twenty congratulators had arrived.
Everyone filed into the door, and before everyone entered, they would secretly return the jade plaque to the doorkeeper.
After entering the door, the atmosphere becomes tense and various sounds can be heard.
"How much did you spend?"
"Twenty-three thousand!"
"This time is very evil. Chief Zhang spent 18,000 yuan, but he didn't come in!"
"That's right. In previous years, there was no price like this. 15,000⊥ was definitely shortlisted!"
""
Xu Yi seemed to have heard some clues and quietly pecked Zi Mo, "You have done a good job in your homework."
Obviously. Xia Zimo can act smoothly only when he is prepared.
Xia Zimo said proudly. "That's it, know yourself and know your enemy. You can fight a hundred battles without danger. If it weren't for me, you Xu Shihu would have no choice but to do nothing even if you have great abilities."
"Thank you, thank you!" Xu Yi clasped his fists and said, "You haven't told me the key yet?"
Xia Zimo said, "Guang Chengqing, you don't have any expressions? That's all, write down this debt first. Anyway, you owe me a lot of debts, so there is no shortage of this."
Immediately, Xia Zimo revealed the inside story.
It turns out that the sale of the Chengguo Duke's license has become a grand event in Beijing. &1;&;
The Cheng Guogong family has always been mature and prudent, and they know how to advance and retreat. After the auction photos showed great value, the Cheng Guogong family did not dare to be independent, and secretly connected with the royal family and invited the royal family to share the profits.
With the intervention of the royal family, the squeeze on auction licenses has become increasingly fierce.
Huang Shan'er, who collected entrance fees previously, was stationed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He specifically selected the top twenty or so according to the amount of gift money to participate in the next round of competition.
Just now, if Xia Zimo had allowed Xu Yi to pay the thousand gold, Xu Yi would have been automatically wiped out of the possibility of moving forward.
After hearing this, Xu Yi secretly smacked his lips, "This is not selling licenses, it's clearly ripping off customers!"
Xia Zimo raised a green jade finger and shook it repeatedly, "Can we sell the affairs of the Duke's Mansion? They only select the outstanding ones to give away!"
Xu Yiyi smiled bitterly, and as Xia Zimo continued to move forward, passing through a long and gorgeous corridor, the scene in front of him became brighter and brighter, with flying pavilions flowing with pills, and gorgeous buildings like forests. After a while, he saw dozens of people entering from all directions. , obviously, this is entered through other side doors.
After a brief sweep, it can be roughly divided into four groups. One group is wealthy businessmen, one group is new scholars, one group is young nobles, and the last group is Xu Yi and other officials.
Everyone gathers
At this moment, an old man in red robes led a group of servants in green clothes to the front and said loudly, "Old Master, the chief steward of the Duke's Mansion, on behalf of my master, would like to thank all of you distinguished guests for coming. My master appreciates your kindness. I just feel sorry for you." The house is small, and I am afraid that everyone will come in, so I can’t make arrangements. Let’s do this. Since you are here to congratulate Master Xiao on his birthday, in addition to congratulations, you must have prepared some things for Master Xiao. Why not give the things to the old slave first, and let the old slave The person will be presented to the host in person, and the host will decide on the candidate."
Xu Yi felt disgusted secretly. This scene in the Duke's Mansion simply challenged his imagination. It was unheard of to ask for money in public like this.
But looking around, everyone is safe, which is obviously as expected. &1;&;
A license plate is worth millions, but it has attracted everyone to work hard. What more will the Duke's office gain today?
In an instant, a servant in green clothes walked up to him and took out a treasure box. Xu Yi opened it, but it was empty. Just as he was curious, Xia Zimo put a stack of gold tickets into the box. The servant took it and gave back a jade coin. Card.
"Send money?"
Xu Yi sent a message, "How much?"
Xia Zimo said, "You don't care how much it is. I guarantee you will be punished. In this kind of situation, no matter what treasure you give, it will be converted into money in the end, so just give it money."
Not long after, a group of servants in green clothes took the treasure box and left. After half a stick of incense, countless beeping sounds were heard, and among them was the jade plaque in Xia Zimo's hand.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "My fifty thousand gold!" After shouting, he fell down.
Of course, among the rest of the people, some are happy and some are worried, such as those who are mourning their heirs, and there are many of them.
Xu Yi was shocked, "Even fifty thousand gold is not enough, how much did you put away!"
The license is worth millions, but everyone is not a fool. Anyone who is stupid enough to think that he will definitely get it will naturally estimate the opportunity cost.
Including the previous payment to Huang Shan'er, 70,000 gold was not enough to enter the inner palace, so the opportunity cost was already too high.
Xia Zimo said, "Don't worry about how much it is. Just don't let my girl's money go to waste!"
Accompanied by the congratulations of the old man in red robe, everyone held the jade plaque and entered one by one.
"Sorry, you two are not allowed in."
The servant in green clothes took away Xia Zimo's jade token, but said this.
