first minister

Chapter 215 Auction ([-])
"550 gold!"

"Six hundred gold!"

"Eight hundred gold!"

"One thousand gold!"

The threshold of one thousand gold was easily crossed in one leap, making Gongsun Jing who was standing beside him secretly excited, feeling his mouth dry and his heart jumping in his throat.

"One thousand two hundred gold!"

"250 gold!"

"Fifteen hundred gold!"

"One thousand six hundred gold!"

"650 gold!"

"One thousand seven hundred gold!"

The crazily increasing prices, which are endlessly chasing after each other, are finally showing signs of decline as they approach the [-] gold mark.

After all, 7000 gold is equivalent to [-] taels of silver.

Even in Zhongjing, where every inch of land is expensive, it is enough to buy several mansions, plus a bunch of maids and servants.

With this number, at this price, buying a treasure, even if all the top dignitaries of the empire are present, they feel that it is almost the same.

But how could Xia Jingyun allow the situation to become flat like this!
"One thousand seven hundred gold, once! There will be no price increase three times, and the last bidder will get it!"

He looked at everyone with a smile, "This mirror has only five sides in total, and its raw materials are extremely difficult to make. Now these raw materials have been used up, and I don't know when they will be available again. Everyone, after passing this village, there will be no such shop, and you won't be able to buy it even with money!"

"Eighteen hundred gold!"

Immediately someone was persuaded and asked to increase the price.

"850 gold!"

But the one who had the upper hand immediately added a hand, showing his determination to win.

Everyone is messing around on the scene, and sometimes it's not easy to offend the other party too much. Seeing this situation, many people think about it and don't plan to fight. There are still four sides to come!

It's a pity that their thoughts were also guessed by Xia Jingyun. After choosing the name card to bid, Xia Jingyun imagined such a situation. He smiled and said, "Before coming, Your Majesty told me that the Wanbao Tower is his merit, and it is also the credit of the courtiers' assistants. Today, everyone who wins the prize will have their names engraved on the merit tablet in front of the Wanbao Tower!"

"Two thousand gold!"

As soon as the voice fell, someone immediately called out the high price.

Xia Jingyun's words not only allowed them to break the shackles of the world, but also gave them a better reason.

The monument of meritorious deeds in Wanbao Building?
Is that just a monument of merit?That is the life-saving talisman of the whole family!
Who doesn't know His Majesty's temperament, after doing this, His Majesty is likely to read a good one. At critical moments in the future, His Majesty may be a little partial in his heart. To them, that little bit of partiality is often the difference between being sentenced to prison and being punished with three drinks. Bet!

The price skyrocketed all the way, and after several rounds of price increases, it directly reached the threshold of three thousand gold.

At this time, Xia Jingyun no longer directly uttered words to seduce, but began to make noise secretly.

"Two thousand,950 gold, once!"

"Two thousand 950 gold, twice!"

"Are there still bids? If not, the world's first treasured mirror to be auctioned publicly, engraved with [beautiful color conceals the past, lotus shames the beauty] and this poem will always belong to the nobleman who bid 950 gold."

"Two thousand,950 gold, the third."

"Three thousand one hundred gold!"

A voice yelled abruptly, obviously unwilling to let this limelight and this poem be taken away like this.

But for the woman who had almost got the mirror in her pocket, after seeing her husband's hesitation, she shouted without hesitation, "3000 two hundred gold!"

Xia Jingyun's hanging heart calmed down, and the nurse stopped calling in fear.

"3000 two hundred gold, one time!"

"3000 two hundred gold, twice!"

"3000 two hundred gold, the third time! Deal! Congratulations to this noble man, who won the world's first publicly auctioned treasure mirror and the ownership of the poems carved on it, and at the same time, the right to leave his name on the merit monument of Wanbao Building!"

Amidst the complex expressions of everyone, although heartbroken, but also very proud of a wealthy family, happily enjoying everyone's envy and congratulations.

Qin Sichao's face was extremely gloomy, are these people fools?
Just a mirror is just a different material from a bronze mirror. Although glass is expensive, you can buy one for only a few tens of taels of silver. It actually costs 3000 taels of gold, which is 3 taels of silver, to buy a mirror!
If he hadn't known that these people were dignitaries that even their Qin family couldn't control, he would have even wondered if Xia Jingyun had invited these people to act!
Gongsun Jing was already so excited that his fingertips were dancing in his sleeves. He once thought that if the five precious mirrors could be sold for 5 taels, half of this difficulty would be over.
But unexpectedly, this first precious mirror was sold for a huge sum of 3 taels!

Five mirrors, three 55, this can't go to heaven!
He finally understood that even though he repeatedly raised his own thinking, he was still far, far from the young master's structure and ability.

As for Xia Jingyun, he has completely relaxed at this moment.

Because, after the first mirror was sold for this price, the subsequent price has already been anchored in everyone's minds.

It's all the same thing, the price will definitely not be less!
And things developed just as he expected.

When he put the second mirror in front of him and revealed the poem under the red cloth, the atmosphere in the field fell into frenzy again.

[The peerless beauty is gentle and true.The snow is the flesh and bones, and the moon is the god. 】

"Six hundred gold!"

"Eight hundred gold!"

"One thousand two hundred gold!"

"Two thousand one hundred gold!"

Under the "auction guide price" of the first precious mirror, it effortlessly crossed the two major barriers of one thousand gold and two thousand gold, and finally sold for three thousand one hundred gold.

Then the third side.

[Furong is not as good as beauty makeup, and the wind from the water palace comes with pearls and emerald fragrance. 】

After fierce competition, it was sold for [-] gold.

Fourth side.

[Two-faced young peach hair from the mirror, one eye of spring water shines on people's cold. 】

The people who were a little tired raised their prices no longer so crazy, and in the end it was only a "low price" of [-] gold.

Of course, this was also in Xia Jingyun's expectation. For the same thing, there will always be aesthetic fatigue. If it were not for the addition of Emperor Chongning, his poems, and his auction skills and the help of Tonger, the current transaction price may have fallen below two thousand gold.

But no matter, there is one last side.

He smiled, "Thank you for your support, now we only have this side of the mirror. After the auction of this side, according to the forecast of the supervisor, the key materials have been exhausted, and at least within a year, it will not be possible to spend such a huge amount of financial and material resources to overcome this difficulty. So, this really means that after passing this village, there will be no such shop."

He didn't say much, just clicked and stopped, and then slowly tore off the red cloth.

Looking at the crowd, he smiled and said loudly: "Everyone looks at Yan Ran, the color of the world is like dust."

All the people present who haven't bought the precious mirror are staring at the last mirror with burning eyes.

Even though she has always lived in seclusion, Qin Li still has a great reputation in Zhongjing, looking at her elder brother, and calmly said: "Eldest brother, I want this mirror."

Qin Yuwen was originally furious when he saw the situation in the field, but now hearing these words, his heart ached like a knife, as if his heart was broken into countless pieces.

"Little sister? What's so good about this broken mirror? Brother, I'll buy you a better one later."

Qin Li was already familiar with picking up her elder brother, and she was not angry. She just glanced at him calmly, "Brother, do you think that I am not worthy of this poem, or that I am ugly and not worthy of looking in such a good mirror, or that the Qin family can't afford the money?"

Hearing his sister's familiar tone that seemed to turn against him, the corners of Qin Yuwen's mouth twitched, and his gratitude and resentment gave in to brother-sister love.

After an extremely fierce bidding, the last price of this mirror was [-] gold!
Mainly taking advantage of the high price: Qin Yuwen.

Seeing Qin Yuwen shouting prices with a dark face again and again, even Xia Jingyun, who had undergone rigorous training, almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

When the last mirror was sold, the auction ended in a short but intense process.

Xia Jingyun, however, would not give up such a good opportunity to make friends with each other. He personally presented a generous gift carefully prepared by Shi Shiji to all the dignitaries present: jewelry with a market price of 1000 taels of silver, packed in an exquisite box that looked worth hundreds of taels.

As for the cost, ahem, I can only say that everyone who understands understands.

Naturally, these dignitaries didn't understand much, so they were also very satisfied. After a much warmer exchange of greetings, they went out full of conversation and shock.

As for the five families who bought the mirrors, Xia Jingyun didn't say anything about paying for them and delivering them. Instead, he delivered the mirrors directly, and agreed that the payment would be made tomorrow, without worrying about these dignitaries breaking the contract.

As long as they have the guts, neither Emperor Chongning nor he will refuse to earn a bigger ticket.

After finishing everything, Xia Jingyun walked backstage, and saw Gongsun Jing sitting on a chair, holding a piece of paper in his hand, with a dull expression on his face.

He walked over to take a look, only to see that there was only one number written on the paper, seventeen thousand three hundred.

Gongsun Jing still turned his head to look at Xia Jingyun in disbelief, and even forgot to stand up and give up his seat, "Master, just like this, we have 17 gold? 3000 taels of silver?"

Xia Jingyun nodded with a smile, and patted his shoulder, "I told you not to worry!"

Gongsun Jing giggled and couldn't stop being so happy.
