Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 360 Auction
The verdict has been established, and the faces of several people in the third house of Xue's family also showed rare smiles.It's just that no matter whether it's Xue Baoqiong, who is going out for the first time, or Xue Sanye and his wife, none of them is willing to go back to the south immediately, and they all want to stay in the capital for a few more days.Xue Yilian's family suffered a catastrophe, so he had to agree.Mr. Xue was happy to play for a while longer, so as to relieve the pain of losing his son as soon as possible, but he did not forget to send his family servants to bring the eldest daughter Baoqi, who was alone in Jinling, to the capital.

In order to receive Xue's three-bedroom family well, Xue Wang's head mother gave Baochai all the affairs in Xue's mansion, and she personally accompanied the three of them on a tour of the capital.

In fact, it was said to be with the three of them, but in the end it was just to accompany Mrs. Qu and Bao Qiong.Xue Ying, Third Master Xue is a man after all, it is enough to have Xue Ping and Xue Pan, the caravan managers beside Xue Yi, taking turns to accompany him, and Xue Wang only puts his mind on the female relatives.

Since they are female relatives, the first stop is naturally to take them to Zhimeifang to choose costumes and jewelry.

When the carriage stopped at the entrance of Zhimeifang, I found that the entire store was already full of people standing shoulder to shoulder.

Baoqiong found it strange and asked Xue Wang: "Auntie, didn't you say you came to the embroidery shop to pick out clothes? Why are there so many people here? It doesn't look like an ordinary place to sell clothes..."

Xue Wang said with a smile: "The embroidery workshop of my aunt's house is different from other places. Don't ask, you will know when you go in."

Baoqiong and Mrs. Qu looked at each other, and they saw some unknown expressions on each other's faces.

The two women walked inside, but they listened carefully to the voices of the people around them.

"Hey, why are there so many people in Zhimeifang today? The last time I wanted to buy clothes, I didn't line up because there were too many people. Looking at the situation, wouldn't it be possible to sell clothes again today?"

A woman onlookers couldn't help but sighed, and someone next to her advised her: "Hey, don't go! Wait a little longer, these people are all here for the auction of a piece of clothing today, and when the auction is over , maybe half of the people left."

"Auction? What auction?"

"Hey! You don't know such a big thing? It's a good thing you still like Zhimeifang's clothes so much! But it's no wonder that the little money in the hands of girls like us is enough to buy some beautiful clothes in Zhimeifang It is impossible for anyone to wear ready-made clothes like those noble ladies, as long as they see the beautiful clothes in Zhimeifang, no matter how expensive they are, they can buy them back and wear them without blinking an eyelid..."

The woman in the crowd who mentioned the auction suddenly changed her subject, and became envious of girls from rich families.

Yu was soon besieged by the women in the audience, and everyone said: "Tell me about the clothes that were auctioned!"

The woman smiled: "That's right, you see, I'm digressing again. I heard that the auctioned dress is a new summer product of Zhimeifang. It's called a blue mermaid gauze suit. Even the clothes and accessories , Jewelry, the starting price of this set is 1000 taels of silver, there is no upper limit on the price, and the highest bidder wins!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this: "What? The base price is 1000 taels of silver? What kind of clothes is this? It's too expensive, right?"

The woman said again: "Expensive? Then you have to look at what kind of clothes! Others are nothing, have you heard of mermaid color? Hey! I knew you were ignorant.

Two days ago, I was lucky enough to see that set of clothes. The blue background color was nothing special at first glance, but when the sun shone slightly, a pink-purple pearl appeared on the blue fabric, which was very beautiful. up!

The girls in Zhimeifang told me that this color is the color of the scales of the most beautiful mermaid among the deep-sea mermaids. Set out.

Because the price is very high, the other three sets were bought by the Crown Princess, Princess Yong, and Princess Dunjun respectively. Only this set is left, and Zhimeifang keeps it for itself. Do you think the price is not expensive? "

This woman's words successfully caused an uproar among the crowd. Everyone wanted to go in and see what this so-called "dreamy" suit looked like. No one saw the woman who was just talking in the crowd and Xue Wang quickly exchanged glances, and then disappeared into the crowd.

Mr. Xue Wang smiled and said: "The exhibition hall should be very lively right now. Let's go in and take a look."

Mrs. Qu's mother and daughter followed Xue Wang into the gate of Zhimeifang, but they didn't stop in the lobby, but directly entered the auction hall in the backyard.

Compared with the front hall, this place is much more organized. Except for the auction platform in the center, there are small single rooms all around, in which are rich people who are interested in the auction items.

Because Wang Xue is the owner of Zhimeifang, although he came a bit late, he still has a very gorgeous private room to sit in.She led Mrs. Qu's mother and daughter here, and the three of them focused their eyes on the suit that was up for sale in the middle.

I saw that the blue mermaid-colored gauze was hung on a hanger as tall as a person.Because it is a summer dress, its design looks cool and playful, but the places that should be covered are well covered, which will not make these feudal antiques feel unacceptable at all.

The most gratifying thing is that under the soft light, this dress really has beautiful pink and purple pearls, which makes people love it.

Naturally, such beautiful clothes were highly sought after by all the noble ladies in the hall, and bids came one after another.

Listening to the "first time" and "second time" in the auctioneer's mouth, Baoqiong was puzzled and asked, "Auntie, did you hear what the person on the stage said about 'first time' and 'second time'?" ,What does that mean?"

Xue Wang patiently explained: "The person standing in the middle of the stage only needs to call the price for the third time, then this lot will belong to the last bidder."

"Oh……"

While talking here, the auctioneer raised his voice: "The first time of 500 taels of gold - the second time of 500 taels of gold - the first time of 500 taels of gold..."

Seeing that the auctioneer was about to shout for the third time, Xue Baoqiong, who had just learned the rules, screamed in fright: "No, no! Don't shout for the third time!"

Everyone showed displeasure and looked at the source of the voice together.Especially Feng Ting who just bid 500 taels of gold, she was obviously very displeased with Bao Qiong's sharp cry, and said angrily: "If this girl is not satisfied with my price, just ask for a higher price, why are you so noisy, Break the rules of the auction?"
