Although the Xiao family is not as good as the five surnames, it is still a wealthy family, and not everyone can compare with it.
What's more, when two old people with such high status and seniority are scolding each other, the younger generation will only get scolded if they get involved.
After all, Xiao Ke had lived for more than ninety years. He didn't care at all about Cui Miao's ridicule. He asked his great-grandson to exchange the price tag and sneered: "Fifteen thousand guan, Mr. Cui is immortal. I will definitely not die today." It will make your wish come true!”.
"Sixteen thousand guan, Xiao Ke, so what if I just bid you a whole day's price? If you have the ability, keep raising the price!"
"Eighteen thousand guan, the surname is Cui, whoever retreats will be a worm!"
"Nineteen thousand strings, huh, whoever retreats is a harlot!"
Seeing the two people quarreling over a personal grudge, and enjoying the extra charge of one thousand gu each, everyone picked up their teacups and watched the show. At this time, the value of the lot has no meaning at all, and each other's bids are just a battle of spirits.
In response to Cui Miao's aggressiveness, Xiao Ke remained unchanged and offered the price: "Twenty thousand guan, come on!"
Cui Miao smiled slightly and continued to bid: "Twenty-one thousand guan!"
"Oh, twenty-two thousand kan!"
"Hmph, twenty-three thousand kan!"
Appeared, twenty-three thousand strings!
Everyone put down their teacups and looked at Su Qingjie involuntarily. The value of a sword is naturally higher than that of a sword. Now I didn't expect that the price of a sword has also risen to the price of a sword. I just don’t know how long these two old people will fight for it. It’s not 23,000 copper coins, but 23,000 coins!
Just when everyone looked at Xiao Ke, waiting for him to continue bidding, Xiao Ke, who had just actively bid for fear of being outbid, shut up.
? ? ?
What does it mean?
Not only the people watching the excitement, but also Cui Miao was in a daze.
However, this daze only lasted for a moment. It was a strong warning sign that made the hairs on his body stand on end!
Just as he expected, Xiao Ke stood up unhurriedly, raised his hands to the bidders from all over the court and said: "I am old and can no longer run the Xiao family. This amount of money is beyond my ability. . In this way, I admit that I am a worm, and I also admit that I am a larvae. I admit defeat!"
After saying that, he turned around and faced Cui Miao's direction, bowed his hands and saluted: "The Cui family deserves to be the Cui family, I admit defeat!"
Although he said the words of surrender and looked very annoyed, the smile at the corner of his mouth did not mean to hide it at all!
Many people were shocked, but only a few seemed to understand.
It is true that Xiao Ke lost face and laughed at himself as a fool in public, but we have to look at the price of this face.
Twenty-three thousand strings! Xiao Ke didn't have to pay a dime, but Cui Miao, who won, had to spend the money to buy the auction item.
If it were me, I probably wouldn’t be able to bear it!
The elders and family heads of the five surnames and several wealthy families couldn't help but feel sad about the death of the rabbit and the fox, and they were determined that if their sworn enemy jumped out to bid with them, they would rather not take the treasure than fall into the trap.
At a time when many people were grieving, Cui Miao felt as uncomfortable as eating dog poop. With the status of the Cui family, even if it is not contested, it is not comparable to that of the Xiao family. In order to fight for their own personal sentiments, they actually asked the family to pay 23,000 copper coins to buy the emperor's remaining study room. But Unexpectedly, his position in the clan will be lost!
When Cui Miao had a mouthful of old blood in his mouth, Li Zhi gave him another fatal blow:
"Cui Miao from the Cui family has bid 23,000 guan. Is there any higher price? If not, I will shout three times and this auction item will belong to Cui Miao."
"one."
"two."
"Three! Okay, my study belongs to the Cui family."
After saying that, Li Zhi knocked the golden bell expressionlessly and then returned to the dragon chair.
Although he was a bit far away and there were cases blocking him, Li Xian could still clearly see that his legs seemed to be shaking.
jinsi
Good guy, I don’t seem to have any feelings, but I’m actually very happy.
Regardless of how dark Cui Miao's face turned, Li Xian walked onto the auction stage and continued to preside.
He couldn't regret it. Although this was just an auction, it was located in the Tai Chi Palace and the lineup was extremely luxurious. If he dared to regret it, his reputation would be ruined throughout the Tang Dynasty.
He clapped his hands and asked the sergeant to send the study room over, and then the third lot was pushed out.
It was a roll of bamboo slips wrapped in golden silk cloth, and even some of the bamboo slips on it were missing.
Just such an auction item, with the solemn guarantee of those treasure appraisers, beat all the gold and silver jewelry and ranked third. In other words, even the emperor's sword and study room, without special significance bonuses, would not be a match for this scroll of bamboo slips.
Because he had never participated in the treasure appraisal process, Li Xian didn't know what the significance of this bamboo slip was. However, just by looking at the breathing of the children of the aristocratic families when the bamboo slip was pushed out, he knew how valuable it was. .
"Your Highness, may I allow you to come forward and take a look and touch this auction item? If there is any loss, I will bear it all."
Hearing this voice, Li Xian couldn't help but look at Hao Chujun, and saw that he was also breathing rapidly and his eyes were red.
No matter how valuable the bamboo slips were, Hao Chujun had to agree no matter what.
"Can."
After receiving the permission, Hao Chujun walked to the booth under the envious gaze of disciples from aristocratic families.
Seeing a pair of silk gloves on the exhibition stand, Hao Chujun put them on carefully, picked up the bamboo slips and looked at them.
After only looking at a few bamboo slips, he picked up the jade pendant on his body, turned around and asked, "Your Highness, I would like to scratch it with the jade pendant, is that okay?"
Seeing that Hao Chujun seemed to be quite knowledgeable, Li Xian naturally agreed. He wanted to know what it was that could make Hao Chujun so excited.
Picking up the jade pendant and scratching it twice on the bamboo slip, and then touching it with his hand, Hao Chujun took a deep breath and put the bamboo slip back. When he turned his head again, he nodded vigorously to the curious disciples of the aristocratic family: "It's an authentic work. !」
"Authentic?"
"It turns out to be an authentic work!"
....
Hearing these words, everyone couldn't sit still. Even Cui Miao, who had just been tricked by Xiao Ke's subordinates, gave up his anger and stared at Hao Chujun with burning eyes, wishing to penetrate him with his eyes. See the bamboo slips at the back.
Taking off his gloves, Hao Chujun raised his head and said with emotion: "I never thought that I would see such a treasure in my lifetime. Everyone, I would like to make a request. No matter which family bids for this bamboo slip, it cannot be sent to the grave. This authentic work has escaped disaster and has been preserved to this day, which is a blessing to heaven."
An old man with a white beard stood up and said without hesitation: "Hao boy, you don't need to say this. Anyone who dares to do this will be infamy for thousands of years."
After saying that, he raised his hand to Li Xian again and said, "Your Highness, I, Kong Xiaozhe, the elder of the Qilukong family, are willing to pay 50,000 yuan and start bidding, can you?"
five....
Li Xian's eyes almost opened. What could be worth 50,000 yuan? Fifty thousand guan, equivalent to tens of millions in future generations, is the opening scene so exciting?
However, to his great surprise, Cui Miao, who had just been tricked, stood up and shouted: "Sixty thousand guans!"
Adding 10,000 at a time is not too exciting.
