The system forced me to be emperor
Page 243
As soon as Xiao Rui raised his hand, another beautiful girl brought the treasure.
On the fourth floor, Xiao Feng swallowed his saliva again, and couldn't help muttering: "Where did the seventh brother find the maid? It's so delicious."
Of course there is a taste, the woman in the world is pure on purpose, this tune is bound to attract people.
Xiao Ze glanced to one side, ignoring him.
At this time, Xiao Rui had already lifted the red cloth, and the treasure presented by the imperial concubine Lin Yuer was a green jade pendant.
Xiao Rui graciously praised this ice jade pendant, then set the price at 1000 taels and started bidding.
Sure enough, Lin Feng was the first to bid, and Zhou Mingwen raised the price immediately, and the two fought back and forth, preventing other bidders from intervening.When Zhou Mingwen raised the price to 4000 taels, he was not going to raise the price any further, making Lin Feng unwilling to pay the money.
But who knows, Lin Feng is extremely cunning, he cupped his hands and admitted defeat, saying: "Mr. Zhou has a deep family background, but I am not as good as this official. Let this exquisite jade pendant be given to Mr. Zhou!"
In an instant, Zhou Mingwen was dumbfounded, he was tricked by Lin Feng!
Lin Feng was cunning, her sister's jade pendant was also raised to 4000 taels, not inferior to the queen, so there was no need for him to raise the price, and if it was given to Zhou Mingwen, it would disgust him even more. It was clear at a glance who would win and lose.
Just when everyone thought Zhou Mingwen was defeated, a voice suddenly came from the fourth floor.
"His Royal Highness Chu Wang contributed 5000 taels!"
He is the personal guard of the second prince Xiao Yiheng. The price he offered directly increased the price by 1000 taels, which not only saved Zhou Mingwen from the siege, but also showed the magnanimity and grandeur of the King of Chu.
Xiao Rui wanted to clap his hands and praise his methods.
The eldest prince Xiao Lie did not raise the price maliciously, so Xiao Rui finalized the final price.
Next, there was the treasure donated by the three emperors, sons, mothers and concubines. It was a glazed marigold statue of Buddha. Xiao Ze did not bid for it, and no one raised the price. It was auctioned by Shang Shun Jin of the Ministry of Rites for 2000 taels, a moderate price.
Next, the donated treasures of other noble concubines were auctioned off one after another, and 2 taels of charity was finally obtained.
It is true that 2 taels is a lot, but Xiao Rui is extremely dissatisfied, this is far from his goal, no, he must play some tricks.
"Next, my lord, please enjoy a song and dance and have some refreshments. After the song and dance, we will start the second round of auction!" Xiao Rui paused the auction.
Afterwards, the beautiful oirans poured tea and wine for this group of dignitaries, I believe they will not be lonely.
Xiao Rui went up to the fourth floor, and after a few words with Emperor Xia, he found a reason to go down, and before leaving, he gave Xiao Yan a look.
Xiao Yan understood, and after a while, he went downstairs for convenience and saw Xiao Rui.
"Seventh Brother, what did you call me?" Xiao Yan asked.
Xiao Rui said: "I've arranged a task for you, do you want to do it?"
"What mission?" Xiao Yan asked.
Xiao Rui said: "When the princes' donations will be auctioned later, you can find a way to raise the price for me, don't be too obvious. But when the father's donation is auctioned, don't have any worries, raise the price desperately, and then listen I do what I say, and when to stop, I will give you hints. Well done, I will ask Father for credit for you."
"No problem, leave it to me!" Xiao Yan jumped for joy when he heard that he was going to do something.
Xiao Rui nodded, and then the two separated.
After the singing and dancing ended, Xiao Rui continued to take the stage, and the treasure donated by the eldest prince Xiao Lie was also presented on the stage.
"Everyone, the second round of auction is now starting, and the first treasure is a donation from the eldest prince, King Jin. Please take a look!" Xiao Rui lifted the red cloth, only to see a set of Go on the tray.
Xiao Rui introduced: "Everyone knows that my eldest brother is very talented and good at chess. This Go game is just his favorite. The white pieces are polished with high-quality white jade, and the black pieces are polished with high-quality black jade. A set of Go is rare in the world, and he is willing to give out such a beloved treasure for the sake of the common people. As a younger brother, I respect him deeply."
On the fourth floor, Xiao Lie didn't change his face, but he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. This is an ordinary game of Go. There are not ten sets but five sets in his house. It's so rare in the world.Xiao Rui praised him so much, naturally he would not reveal it, but secretly remembered Xiao Rui's kindness.
Xiao Rui said it so well, but only for one purpose: "So, the bidding price for this set of Go is 1 taels!"
"Ahem..." Xiao Lie almost spit out tea in a careless move.
How many? 1 taels?How the hell don't I know it's so valuable?Xiao Lie was confused.
"Brother is really generous." Xiao Yan deliberately admired.
Xiao Yiheng showed disdain, and said sarcastically: "It's a good thing, but I don't know if there is anyone bidding for it. Don't let no one care about it, it won't look good."
Xiao Lie was startled, yes, if no one bids for the auction, wouldn't it be embarrassing.
Xiao Rui on the stage naturally knew the possibility of failing the auction, but he also knew that he would never fail the auction, because the prince couldn't afford to lose this person, and they swallowed their anger to take the picture by themselves, and there was no chance of failing the auction, so Xiao Rui dared to work hard Raising the price, if it wasn't for the fear of revealing his secrets and raising the price outrageously, he would have wanted to set the price directly at [-].
Sure enough, the price of 1 taels discouraged many officials who supported Xiao Lie. They originally wanted to take this item to prove their loyalty, but the price of [-] taels is really high. Buying a pair of Go chess that you don't need is really a joke up.
Lin Feng is Xiao Lie's uncle, he has to show up when others don't show up, just when he was about to speak, the eunuch who was next to the queen came out and said: "The empress said, since no one bids, the empress will bid 1 Wan Liang, we can't let the First Prince's treasure go unnoticed."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Rui secretly called her beautiful.
Just now your Lin family tricked Zhou Mingwen, and now the empress Zhou Xiangyun is fighting against the general.
This move completely angered the supporters of the First Prince's faction. Now is not the time to care about silver taels, so Yang Feiyuan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, came out: "I like this set of chess pieces quite a bit, and I bid 5000 taels!"
Yang Feiyuan is Xiao Lie's father-in-law, so naturally he has to give his full support.
"I also like this set of chess pieces, why not 2 taels." Xiao Yiheng also stepped in.
"5000 taels!" Yang Feiyuan added another 5000 taels. He is the secretary of the household department and the head of the Yang family.
This time, both the queen and Xiao Yiheng were silent.
In this way, this set of chess pieces was auctioned for 5000 taels.
The activity continued, Xiao Rui waved his hand, and the maid brought the donation from the second prince Xiao Yiheng, and when he lifted the red cloth, it was a scroll.Xiao Rui ordered someone to open the scroll, and inside was a picture scroll.
"Everyone, this is a famous painting donated by the King of Chu. It is a map of wind and rain in the mountains and rivers made by the famous painter Xiaoyaozi in Daxia. I don't need to say more about the collection value of this painting, so this painting is priced at 2 taels!"
Xiao Rui didn't brag this time, this painting is indeed valuable, although 2 taels is a bit high, but it is still reasonable.And Xiao Yiheng's purpose for taking out these treasures is also to take the top spot.
Sure enough, when Emperor Xia saw this painting, he couldn't help but praise: "The King of Chu has a heart!"
These words made the other princes sink their minds.
Xiao Yiheng was overjoyed, thinking that he had guessed right, he felt that His Majesty must value this donation, so taking out his treasures to solicit donations can not only show his importance and sympathy for the common people, but also show that he is noble and regards these treasures as foreign objects .
This is the courage a prince should have!
"This is what I should do. Eldest brother's set of chess pieces is also my favorite. It is expensive. I should learn from him!" Xiao Yiheng still did not forget to hit Xiao Lie.
Xiao Lie's expression was a little uneasy.If others don't know, will His Majesty know the value of that set of Go?Nothing can compare to this painting.hateful!I was careless for a while, and even ignored the opportunity to use this donation to achieve justice, and Xiao Yiheng took the opportunity.
Emperor Xia smiled and nodded, without saying anything.
Xiaoyaozi's "A Picture of Wind and Rain in Mountains and Rivers" does not need to be introduced or raise the price, and those who know how to do it can start bidding.This time Xiao Yan also took the opportunity to raise the price twice, which was considered to help raise the price.
