My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 31 Auction

"Go! Go!"

"Bite! Bite it!"

"..."

In a wine shop, a group of well-dressed rich kids gathered around a table, yelling at the pots on the table with blushing faces and thick necks.

The two chizhis in the jar are fighting desperately. This is a habit preserved by the male chizhis in order to compete for the right to be a spouse, but it is regarded as a game for gambling and enjoyment.

Zhu Yong was also among the crowd, and he got the iron door bolt in the jar from Zhu Zhanhe.

The opponent of the iron gate bolt was a big round head, one size bigger than the iron gate bolt, but not as flexible as the iron gate bolt, several collisions failed.

In the end, the strength of the big round head was exhausted, and his figure became more and more clumsy. At this time, the iron gate bolt leaped, came behind the big round head, and bit off one of the opponent's thighs.

"Won!"

Zhu Yong shouted excitedly, and the people around him also booed!

"Zhu Yong, you guys can do it, how can you find such a top-quality Zhizhi?"

The loser on the opposite side was a sullen and thin man, staring at Zhu Yong with a pair of triangular eyes and asking.

"You don't care where I got it, anyway, I just won!"

As Zhu Yong said, he stretched out his hand and grabbed a stack of thick banknotes on the table, and was about to stuff them into his arms. .

"and many more!"

Unexpectedly, Triangle Eye suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhu Yong's hand.

"Wang, do you want to play tricks?"

Zhu Yong stared, and the other hand clenched his fist.

The name of this triangular-eyed man is Wang Li, the second son of Wang Cong, Marquis of Wucheng. He and Zhu Yong have always been at odds, and there were many conflicts in the past.

"Don't be in a hurry, I remember that you didn't have such a superb weaving a few days ago, why did you suddenly have it today?"

Unexpectedly, Wang Li squeezed out an ugly smile and asked.

"none of your business?"

However, Zhu Yong shook his arm violently and broke away from Wang Li's hand, and then laughed loudly at the dog legs beside him.

"Let's go, I have a treat today, we won't go home until we're drunk!"

"My lord is mighty!"

The dog legs made a loud noise again, flattering and leaving with Zhu Yong.

Seeing Zhu Yong's leaving back, Wang Li sneered, stretched out his hand to pick up Zuzhi, which was missing a leg in the jar, pinched it to death with his fingers, and threw it aside casually.

"Come on, let's serve wine and food!"

Wang Li gave another order, and immediately a waiter came forward to greet him, and after a while, a table of wine and food was served.

Wang Li poured himself a drink, and after more than half an hour, he saw a man dressed as an idler running in to salute, "Second Young Master, I have heard the news!"

"Say!"

Wang Li said without looking back.

"Mr. Cheng made a slip of the tongue just now, and that Zhizhi probably has something to do with the Desheng Building!"

Xian Han said again that he was also one of the dogs who left with Zhu Yong just now, but he was actually Wang Li's man.

"Good job!"

Wang Li got up abruptly when he heard the words, threw down a treasure note and said, "You are rewarded!"

After Wang Li finished speaking, he walked away from the restaurant. The idle man looked at a table of wine and dishes that had hardly moved, and immediately sat down humming a little tune, took a sip of the wine pot, and then picked up his chopsticks and started to eat.

Wang Li left the restaurant, rode his horse and went straight to Deshenglou, this restaurant is located on the bank of Qinhuai River, he used to come here to drink.

The Desheng Building didn't seem to have changed much. The shop assistants were soliciting business outside the store, and the guests came in and out, and the aroma of wine and vegetables could be smelled from a long distance away.

Wang Li rode his horse to the door, got off his horse and grabbed a fellow and asked, "I heard that you have Zhuzhi here?"

The man looked at the horse behind Wang Li, and then at the brocade clothes on him, and then he showed a flattering smile and said, "The guest is really well informed, if you want to promote weaving, you can just go to the second floor! "

Wang Li stuffed the reins of the horse into the hands of the waiter, stepped into the restaurant, and stepped on the stairs to the second floor with a "thud, thump, thump".

Compared with the bustling first floor, the second floor is quite quiet. When Wang Li came up, he found that there were already seven or eight tables of people sitting here, and he knew most of them.

"Yo, Wang Er, you're here too, come and have a few drinks with me!"

Among them, a fat young man greeted Wang Li.

Wang Li stepped up and sat down in front of the fat man, and asked straight to the point: "Brother Li, you also came here for the sake of Zhizhi?"

This fat man was named Li An, and he was the son of Li Yuan, Marquis of Anping. When Qiu Fu went to the north, Wang Cong, Wang Li's father, died together with Li Yuan.

"That's right, the 'Red General' I managed to develop was defeated by Zhang Zhong, a man and woman this morning. I heard that he bought his Zhizhi from here!"

Li An nodded and said, and glanced at the other people in the building when he spoke. These people were almost the same as him, and they got the news through various channels.

"No wonder, Zhu Yong and Zhang Zhong often hang out together. A few days ago, they were defeated by me, but today they suddenly became powerful!"

Wang Li also nodded.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a middle-aged accountant dressed as a middle-aged man stepping forward, making a bow to several tables of guests, and then said loudly: "Dear guests, there are a few high-grade promotion weaving auctions in the shop today. Thank you for your support!”

"Wait, what is an auction?"

At this moment a guest in the corner asked loudly.

Wang Li knew this person, the other person's name was Xu Xianyi, the great-grandson of Zhongshan King Xu Da, the Xu family was a descendant, the crown prince and the King of Han were all born to Empress Xu, even if Empress Xu was gone, His Majesty never established a new empress.

It can be said that in the Ming Dynasty, apart from the position of the royal family, the Xu family was the most prominent.

"To this guest official, the so-called auction is actually that we take out the weave and set a reserve price. All guest officials can increase the price at will, and the one with the highest price will win!"

The accountant explained with a smile.

"Huh? This method is quite novel!"

Xu Xianyi raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, seeming quite interested.

"Okay, now I invite the first auctioneer, Zhizhi!"

The accountant didn't talk nonsense, he waved his hand, and immediately a guy came up with a bamboo cage, and then sent it to each guest one by one, asking them to check the quality of the weaving with their own hands.

After everyone had checked it, the accountant said loudly again: "I think you all have a lot of research on Jizhi, and you can see that this is a top-grade big round head, green gold in color, and shiny yellow dies. The top-grade choice, the current base price is one hundred guan, and each price increase must not be less than ten guan!"

"150 guan!"

As soon as the accountant finished speaking, someone immediately asked for a price. This kind of quality fabric is almost priceless in Jinling City, let alone a hundred guan, even five hundred guan can't be bought.

"Two hundred strings!"

"280 guan!"

"350 guan!"

"..."

As the price was raised by all parties, the price quickly reached an astonishing [-] guan. You must know that a few hundred guan is enough for an ordinary person to live for a month. They probably can't imagine that someone will buy a worm with a few hundred guan.

"550 guan!"

At this moment, Wang Li's eyes were also red. He had been outbid several times just now.

But at this moment, Li An, who was sitting next to him, suddenly pulled Wang Li's sleeve, and said softly: "You have to think about it, you have to pay the price, and you will be in trouble if you can't pay the price." !"

"Why, if I can't come up with the money, how dare they go to the Hou Mansion to ask for it?"

Wang Li asked back with disdain, to be honest, he really had plans to renege on his debts.

"Hehe, I won't persuade you if you want to renege on your debts, but I still want to remind you that this is the property of King Han's Mansion!"

Li An chuckled and said again, then sat up straight and didn't speak again.

When Wang Li heard the word "King of Han", his whole body trembled with fright, and he involuntarily touched his chest with his right hand.

On the day Zhu Zhanhe fell off his horse and pretended to die, Wang Li was also at the scene. As a result, Zhu Gaoxu kicked his chest and broke two of his ribs on the spot. ache.

Now in Jinling City's honorable circles, there is a saying secretly circulating, "It is better to see the king of Hades than to mess with the king of Han", because no one knows what Zhu Gaoxu, the second hundred and five, will do?

Thinking of this, Wang Li also became more cautious in asking the price. He would rather owe money to the prince or even the emperor than to owe money to the Palace of the King of Han.

In the end, Xu Xianyi bid 750 guan for this braid, and other talents gave up one after another.

"Boom!"

The accountant picked up a wooden hammer and knocked on the table heavily, and then pointed to Xu Xianyi and said, "Deal! The first weaving will be taken by this young master."

Following the auction of the first Jizhi, the second and third Jizhi were sent to the stage for auction one after another, setting off wave after wave of climaxes.
