"Yes, Your Highness!" Zhao Zihao replied.

Xiao Rui said: "Go find a Confucian scholar who is good at calligraphy, buy the things on the paper, and try to finish it before noon!"

Saying that, Xiao Rui waved his hand.

Gao Quan handed over the list of materials to Zhao Zihao, along with 500 taels of silver.

"The rest of the money from shopping is yours, take the brothers to eat something good." Xiao Rui said.

Zhao Zihao glanced at the list and found that it would cost more than a dozen taels at most. He hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Your Highness, I will definitely handle the errands well in the end."

Xiao Rui nodded, asked Zhao Zihao to step down, and then informed Gao Quan to tell Li Yuanfang that after noon, the sale of invitation letters should be stopped, and the list of all invited dignitaries should be sorted out. Invitation card!

If I really want to come to Xianwangfu, I will come!

Everything is in order.

After noon, Li Yuanfang sorted out the list and accompanied Xiao Rui to Zhuangyuan Building.

At this time, inside and outside the Zhuangyuan Building, there are Jinyiwei fortifications, and the street has been banned. , then Jin Yiwei can't afford to walk around, so all hidden dangers must be eliminated.

Xiao Rui entered the Zhuangyuan Building and was very satisfied with the cleanliness and environment of the Zhuangyuan Building.There is a platform in the center of the hall, which is usually the place for singing and dancing performances, but this time it happened to be the host venue.Twelve square tables were placed in the hall below the stage, but it seemed crowded. Xiao Ruirang removed half of them, leaving only six tables and chairs, leaving enough space.And these six tables and chairs are prepared for ten chambers of commerce.

The dignitaries who got the invitation letter can bring one or two people to participate, so Xiao Rui asked Li Yuanfang to sort out the list, a total of 87 people, plus they brought two people, a total of 260 people, and these 260 people are all sitting upstairs.The second and third floors are reserved for them. The tables and chairs are leaning against the corridor, and you can see the situation below when you turn your head.

The fourth floor is naturally reserved for His Majesty, Queen, Concubine, Prince, Prince, and County King.They are condescending, and everything is in sight.

In order to make the charity auction more upscale, Xiao Rui asked Zhao Zihao to find a group of beautiful women and ask them to dress up as maids and serve at the table.

Zhao Zihao was also very resourceful. He went straight to the Fireworks Street and brought back a group of courtesans. These courtesans served as maids for free, and they didn't need to pay Xiao Rui a penny. , won't you be able to fly to the top?

Of course, Xiao Rui was also afraid that these flamboyant oirans would mess around, so he asked Zhao Zihao to warn them, because His Majesty will come in person, and whoever dares to flirt and hurt the atmosphere of Daya, then obediently go to the East Factory for tea.

Therefore, the oirans also knew the seriousness, put away their usual mortal atmosphere, and uniformly changed into long white dresses, with fairy air and expressionless faces, like iceberg beauties.

With this adjustment, the grade goes up directly.

Next, everyone acted.

Confucian scholars of calligraphy were invited to write slogans and make seat signs, and connoisseurs who knew appreciation wrote introductions for the treasures. Sponsors from several major chambers of commerce were also sent, and dessert and wine chefs were busy in the back kitchen.Towards evening, everything was ready.

At the end of Youshi, the charity auction officially started, so when you entered Youshi, officials would come one after another. Only those with invitation letters could enter the Zhuangyuan Building, and Jinyiwei would strictly inspect it.As soon as they entered the building, they were attracted by the advertising signs hanging around the building, and couldn't look away.

"Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, I wish the charity auction a complete success! Prosperous prosperity, smooth life!"

"Wankang Chamber of Commerce will escort your happy life."

"Huizhou Merchants Group, I wish the Great Summer will be full of flowers and prosperity!"

.......

No matter who entered the door, they were stunned by these signs.

"What is this? Propaganda from merchants? It's actually hanging here! Nonsense!"

"Nonsense, nonsense! The words of merchants, the words of stalking others and seeking benefits! Hanging here is really detrimental to politeness!"

"His Royal Highness Xian can tolerate the words of lowly merchants to be placed here grandly, it is unreasonable!"

"The stench of copper everywhere is unbearable!"

"When His Majesty arrives, I will impeach King Xian!"

"That's right! It's a good time to have fun with the people, but to be blinded by these words of interest, His Majesty must be kept in the dark!"

"Just wait and see the good show. I believe that after His Majesty comes in, he will definitely be furious!"

.......

A person came in and cursed. They spent money to buy invitations, and they were already upset, but now they finally caught King Xian's weakness, how could they let it go?Naturally, they had to express their opinions in front of the door. Some officials were so pure that, filled with righteous indignation, they even directly reprimanded King Xian for his inappropriate actions!

This made everyone in the Chamber of Commerce in the hall restless. If they hadn't paid so much money, they would have fled here.But the heart is still terrified, if His Majesty comes in and blames him, what should he do?God bless, don't be fooled!

Sitting on the fourth floor, Xiao Rui could see the situation in front of the door by turning his head. Seeing the anger of these officials, Xiao Rui couldn't help laughing.

It is also a good show to disgust them.

These dignitaries were tired of cursing, so they were led to the seats arranged by the maids. The handsome and cold maids stabilized the temper of these violent officials.

Well, King Xian is not completely useless, the maid he found is really interesting.It looks cold and arrogant, but the eyes are quite seductive, making my heart itch, a little ready to move.

Of course, these old things dare not express these innermost feelings.

As time progressed, more and more officials came, and the Zhuangyuan building became lively, with discussions, conversations, and atmosphere one after another.

Towards the end of the unitary hour, all the invited officials arrived, and the seats on the second and third floors were full of people.

At this time, Emperor Xia's Luanjia finally arrived.

Xiao Rui was waiting outside the door, when Emperor Xia disembarked, Xiao Rui came forward to meet him.

After Emperor Xia's death, Empress Zhou Xiangyun, Imperial Concubine Lin Yuer, other princes' mothers and concubines, and seven other princes.

"Father, it's snowing heavily outside, it's better to go upstairs to rest earlier." Xiao Rui saluted one by one.

Emperor Xia nodded and said, "Okay!"

Emperor Xia walked into the Zhuangyuan Building. Although he was mentally prepared, he was shocked when he saw the huge signboard with red and black letters as soon as he entered.

No wonder it can be worth 55 taels, this posture is indeed not small.

After Emperor Xia died, the empress, imperial concubine and princes were also shocked, and immediately looked at each other in blank dismay.

"His Majesty is here!"

Following Hai Dafu's singing, the lively atmosphere in the champion building suddenly fell silent, and everyone stood up to salute, shouting in unison: "Long live my emperor!"

Xia Huang glanced around and saw the familiar faces sitting on the second and third floors, Xia Huang raised his voice and said: "Tonight I will have fun with the people and the monarch and ministers. The etiquette of the monarch and ministers is not so strict. Get up and be casual."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!" Everyone got up and stood respectfully.

Xiao Rui guided Emperor Xia up to the fourth floor, where Emperor Xia sat down with the empress, concubine, and prince, and only other civil and military officials dared to sit down.

"Father, my son is going down." Xiao Rui said.

Emperor Xia nodded.

Xiao Rui went downstairs and went up to the platform. The musician next to him beat the drums, so everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Rui.
