The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 86 Confrontation ([-])
The first round of auction was originally a competition between Gu Panpan and several candidates.After that, shopkeeper Wan and several businessmen joined the bidding.

Because Jia Min wrote a song "Poppy" for Shen Bingyi last time, the already famous Shen Bingyi became even more famous.

So, this time, Gu Panpan was determined to win the song "Jade House Spring", determined to compete with Shen Bingyi.

In the end, Gu Panpan got his wish and won the song "Jade House Spring" and 740 watermelons at a price of 56 eight taels of silver.

The girls also brought up other watermelons, and Gu Panpan asked to open the package on the spot, so the song "Jade House Spring" was completely presented in front of people's eyes.

"At the beginning of the evening makeup, the skin is snowing, and the concubines of the Spring Palace are lined up. The shengxiao blows off the water and the clouds open, and the neon clothes sing all over. Who is more fragrant when facing the wind, and the railing is full of emotion when drunk. When returning, put off the red candles Flowers, wait for the horseshoe to clear the night moon."

As soon as this poem came out, there was naturally a lot of applause.

The juzi were the happiest, and it was really applauded, because they knew the goods, but they were short of cash, so they had to watch others take this poem away.

When the businessmen applauded, most of them followed suit.Although he is rich, he is also calculating a lot. After all, he is not willing to spend all his money for a poem.

The second song is Ci, called "Butterfly Love Flower", which is also the same routine as the first song.Show the last sentence first.

"There is no place for arrangement in the world."

As soon as this sentence came out, there was another sigh.

When Shen Bingyi saw this sentence, she felt a little depressed.

This time, he was basically clear about the context of Jia Min's affairs.Jia Min didn't hide it from her either, and even entrusted her to do things like finding a babysitter.

As soon as I saw this word, I thought of Jia Min's "Poppy", "Midnight Song" and other words, all of which are a lonely and sad state of mind.

Thinking that Jia Min hasn't shown up here until now, he must be busy in the mansion at this time, entangled with those who don't want to see him, so I feel a little worried and uncomfortable for Jia Min.

This one has sixty characters and the starting price is 180 taels of silver.

It was Sun Xiucai who was the first to raise a placard to bid, but soon more people joined the competition.It is not an increase of 20 taels and 20 taels, but a direct increase of 40 taels and 60 taels.

"800 taels!"

The frail scholar who had been sitting in the middle of the front row stood up.Seeing that the man in his thirties next to him stopped raising his placard, he grabbed it by himself and held it up.

The few people next to him seemed to be persuading, but he ignored them.

Only then did Jia Lian notice this person.He didn't know this person, but when he saw the 50-year-old man next to him, he was shocked.

Isn't that Xia Bingzhong, one of the four great eunuchs in the palace?

Even though concubines and concubines enter the palace, there are also fixed rules for food and clothing expenses there, and they don't get what they want.Money is not spent casually.

The higher the class, the more attention should be paid to decent appearance.Sometimes, eunuchs and maids are asked to do something, and they should be rewarded appropriately.

Therefore, if you want to have face and enjoy yourself in the palace, you must spend money.Since the regulations in the palace are limited, you have to make up for it from your own family.

Therefore, the Jia family also often went to the palace to give Jia Yuanchun some silver taels.

The emperor was afraid that others would give him a cuckold, and it was strictly forbidden for the women in the palace to contact the outside world.

In this way, the person in charge of running errands is the eunuch in the palace.

Both Jia Lian and Jia Rong often sent money to Jia Yuanchun, so they got acquainted with this great eunuch Xia Bingzhong.

When I saw Xia Bingzhong coming today, I felt a little strange.Looking at the detailed situation again, Xia Bingzhong is not the protagonist, it seems that the protagonist is the one who bids in the middle.

At such a young age, Xia Bingzhong was able to be his entourage. It is conceivable that this person has a high status.

Then it must be a master of the royal family.

Jia Lian knew this, but others didn't.So, another businessman raised a placard and asked for 820 taels.

Seeing that frail scholar, he suddenly turned around, stared fiercely at the bidder, raised his hand, and pointed at the merchant.

"840 taels, no further bids are allowed. No one can compete with me."

This is where the hooliganism begins.

Seeing Feng Ziying over there, she was also anxious, knowing that this man is not a man to be messed with, if today's incident caused him to be disturbed, it would not be beautiful.

At this time, 840 taels is already a lot, and the task of selling watermelons for 5000 taels has also been completed, so it is better to end it as soon as possible.

So, taking advantage of this time, he shouted quickly.

"First time at 840 taels, second time at 840 taels, third time at 840 taels, deal."

Without waiting for others to increase the price, Feng Ziying finished shouting and sold the second poem to this frail scholar.

Seeing that he bought the poems, the scholar immediately danced and screamed.The rest of the people were dumbfounded.He said straight in his heart: Whose son is this, so uneducated.

Under the persuasion of the people next to him, the young master calmed down.

"Just opened up the poems, so that everyone can see what that kid wrote."

The voice was a shrill sissy, and the words were not respectable.

What is "that kid"?How can you talk like that?Such a poem, which kid can write it?

Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, when he saw his ostentation, he must be someone with some influence, so none of the crowd came out to confront him.

The song "Butterfly Love Flower" was displayed.

"Walking leisurely in Tinggao in the distant night, after the Qingming Festival, I feel hurt early in the evening of spring. The sound of raindrops and the wind promises to be believed, and the hazy moon clouds come and go."

"Tao Li Yiyi is in the dark, who is on the swing, whispering with a smile. There is a lot of heart and soul, and there is no place to arrange it in the world."

There is no place for arrangement in the world.

Many people are chanting this sentence.

Feng Ziying didn't have the time to feel the sorrow of spring and autumn, he had to be busy to finish the procedure.

Jiao Li was called here, and Lin Zhixiao came along with him.

Lin Zhixiao was in charge of monitoring Jiao Li's collection of watermelon money at the gate of the watermelon garden.On-site supervision of the watermelons that came out of the garden and how much they sold for.The purpose is to prevent the money from selling apples and other money from passing off as watermelon money.

At this time, Feng Ziying, Jia Lian, shopkeeper Sun of Liansheng Casino, Jiao Li and Lin Zhixiao all gathered together.Jiao Li and Lin Zhixiao started counting the watermelon money, and they each counted it. They collected a total of 420 four taels, and sold a total of [-] watermelons.

This item alone has exceeded 5000 taels.Now there are still some watermelons in the garden that are still being sold. Adding the 110 six here, they sold for 580 taels, which has far exceeded the betting standard of 5000 taels.

Jia Min wins, Baoyu loses!
The previous Ganoderma lucidum gambling game has been confirmed, and this time it was combined into one place, and a deed was established. Jia Min’s representative Fang Xiucai, Liansheng Gambling Square represented Sun’s shopkeeper, Baoyu and Jia Rong’s representative Jia Lian, and the witness Hu Jiajiu Fang Huyiyi and Fengtian Zhang Xiucai signed the deed together.

After the most exciting scene ended, people began to leave one after another.

Jia Lian also started to leave with a group of people.This time, no one blocked him, and he went out of the gate smoothly.As soon as he went out, he saw Jia Qiang, and it turned out that he also came to inquire about the news.

It's just that when he came, he claimed to be from Jia's mansion, and his tone was rather aggressive. The soldiers guarding the gate asked Cong Xiucai and Ge Tongsheng who were at the door.

Therefore, Jia Qiang didn't go in until Jia Lian came out, and then followed back in dismay.

Others started to leave, but Xia Bingzhong didn't leave and came to find Feng Ziying.

For nothing else, it turned out that they didn't have enough money, and they were still short of 400 taels. They wanted to owe it first and pay it later.

It turned out that it was Princess Chang'an who accompanied Xia Bingzhong.

Although Princess Chang'an sneaked out of the palace from time to time, this was the first time she saw a scene like today.

As soon as I saw the watermelon and apple, I felt very novel.So he directed several guards including Li Chengbin and maidservants Lichun, Lixia, Liqiu, and Lidong to start sweeping the goods.

In the two gardens, I pulled a lot of apples and watermelons, and when I finally bought poems, there was not enough money.It was precisely because of this that the weak scholar, that is, Princess Chang'an who disguised herself as a man, would act hooliganically so as not to allow others to ask for prices.

Seeing Eunuch Xia come forward, Feng Ziying couldn't say anything.So he readily agreed, saying that it doesn't matter if he doesn't give it, and it's considered a filial piety for his father-in-law.

If Jia Min was present at this time, it might be another way of thinking.It's not that he cares about the few hundred taels of silver, but when he thinks about his previous life experience, he will come to this conclusion:
It is reasonable for the ancients not to let women go outside casually.If they were like this princess of Chang'an and modern women, shopping and surfing the Internet, buying whatever they saw, how many fortunes would they be able to lose?

Those who are not in a hurry to leave include Niu Jizong and others.

At this time, they gathered outside the gate of Yedu residence, feeling a little complicated.

The case of Guogongjiu once made them admire Jia Min's ability.That's why I wanted to cooperate with Jia Min.

However, because of my short-sightedness, the cooperation with Jia Min stopped.This time, they once again witnessed Jia Min's ability.

Ordinary watermelons and apples can be sold for hundreds or thousands of times when they are in the hands of others. Who has the ability to do this?
With such a big business and scene, I didn't show up for a day, so I just handed it over to Feng Ziying and others.In addition to his trust in Feng Ziying, more is the self-confidence he showed.It turned out that everything was already under his control.

The bus and horse-drawn carriage business could no longer last, and this time the bet was lost again.Look at others, think about yourself, it's really a world of ice and fire.

"Brother Liu, what's your idea?"

Seeing Liu Fang kept silent, Niu Jizong knew that he was thinking about something again.

"I had an idea of ​​getting out of the bus."

Liu Fang smiled darkly.

"Oh? What's the idea? Tell me."

"Ask someone else to take our order."

"How many people have been approached, but no one will take over, who else will take over?"

"Fourth Jia."

"Fourth Jia? Will he pick it up?"

"He has to pick it up, and he has to pick it up if he doesn't."

　There are two updates today, the second at 5:[-] pm.
