The happy life of a prodigal

Having said that, he paused for a moment, and added: "The specific information of this house has been posted here, you can browse it."

The news of this auction has already spread, and most of the people who wanted to buy this house had already seen it yesterday.

Therefore, no one looked at the information about the house on the wall, but responded directly: "5000 taels of silver, I want it!"

"I'll pay five thousand and one hundred taels!"

"Five thousand and one hundred taels!"

"7000 taels!"

"8000 taels!"

In just half a stick of incense time, the price of this deed has soared from 500 taels to 8000 taels.

You know, when Fang Xiu bought this house from a tooth dealer, he only spent less than 3000 taels.

8000 taels is more than doubled.

Among the crowd, a merchant's eyes have turned red at this moment.

8000 taels...

8000 two!

If I hadn't sold this house back then, the 8000 taels would have been my own!

I worked hard for a year, but I could only earn 1000 taels, and if I was lucky, it would only be 500 taels at most.

However, in just one month, this house is worth four years of hard work!

Oh my god!

Why is this!

Under the stage, Fang Xiu sat on the grand teacher's chair, watching the rising prices in front of him, but the expression on his face did not change much.

In the past, when he first came to this world, 8000 taels of silver might have excited him for a long time.

However, now that I am used to seeing large sums of money, the 8000 taels seem nothing.

When the price reached 8000 taels, the lively atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

8000 taels is already worthy of consideration by many people.

You know, the house in the dental store is only double the selling price at most.

The 8000 taels is more than doubled.

Although the house in the dental shop has a price but no market, everyone knows that there are still four auctions.

There are at least dozens of houses in Xin Amber's hands.

Wouldn't it be nice for him to save his money and wait until then to sell, and buy a better house at a lower price than this?

On the stage, seeing this scene, Wang Baole slowly raised the gavel in his hand.

This small gavel was given to him by the young master, and he specifically told him to knock on the table with it if a deal is reached.

Although he didn't know what it meant, he kept it firmly in his heart.

As long as it is ordered by the young master, it must have a deep meaning.

While raising the gavel, a voice came out: "8000 two times!"

There was a pause of about five seconds, and no one responded.

Wang Baole raised his voice and shouted again: "8000 two or two times!"

Still no one responded.

Seeing this, Wang Baole raised his hand to drop the gavel.

At this time, there was a long voice: "Eight thousand and one taels!"

When everyone heard the voice, they all looked at the person who shouted.

Eight thousand and one taels.

There are such shameless people in this world?

Let's see who it is...

Everyone looked in that direction, and saw a middle-aged man standing there with a calm expression on his face, as if he wasn't the one who spoke just now.

Lu Si?

How is it him! ?

After everyone saw the face of the speaker, they were all stunned, a little confused...

It turned out to be Lu Si, the shopkeeper of Zhuxuanzhai, who was shouting?

They didn't doubt that Lu Si could get 8000 taels.

Although it has not been more than a year since Zhuxuanzhai was established, it is roughly estimated that the annual income will not be less than 5000 taels.

As a shopkeeper, it's not too difficult to borrow and make up for 8000 taels.

But all of this is based on the fact that he is the genuine shopkeeper of Zhuxuanzhai.

Who in the entire capital doesn't know that Zhuxuanzhai is the property of Fangfu?

The real master behind is the one sitting in front.

At best, Lu Si is just a guy with more management. Where did he get the 8000 taels of silver?

In just a moment, everyone understood.

This is the one in front who is dissatisfied with the transaction price of 8000 taels!

This... this is too...

Seeing this scene, everyone wanted to curse, but they didn't know what to curse.

After all, there is no rule in this auction that people from Zhuxuanzhai are not allowed to participate...

only......

Hey.

All of a sudden, everyone's original plan to buy the house at a reserve price and then distribute it internally fell through.

New Amber has already thought of this and made preparations in advance.

The merchant who had offered 8000 taels earlier felt a little helpless when he saw this scene.

In his opinion, 8000 taels is already an extremely high price, but it seems that it has not yet reached the price in Xin Amber's heart.

I thought about it.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the price of the house will definitely go up.

Even if I got this house for 9000 taels, I might be able to sell it for 1 taels in the future.

Even if it can't be sold, it is always good for a foreigner to have a place to stand in the capital city.

So, he gritted his teeth and continued to shout: "Eight thousand and five hundred taels!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were on Lu Si.

On the stage, Wang Baole started shouting again: "Eight thousand and five hundred taels once!"

"Eight thousand five hundred two times!"

"make a deal!"

Until the gavel fell, Lu Si did not continue to raise the price.

Seeing this scene, the merchant also breathed a sigh of relief.

In a certain corner, there was a merchant holding his chest, with a painful look on his face, almost crying.

Eight thousand five hundred taels... eight thousand five hundred taels!

Chapter 5 and Four Preparations before departure

For the next three days, the auction will continue as usual.

In addition to the high price of 8000 taels on the first day of the house auction, there were three houses whose prices also exceeded 8000 taels, and most of the rest were sold at twice the original price.

Counting the 8000 taels of silver on the first day, in just four days, Fang Xiu had nearly 20 taels of extra silver in Baole Fang.

There is still the last day left, and the number of houses auctioned on this day is the largest. It is estimated that the value is at least 15 taels of silver.

According to the original selling price, the house that was only 30 taels at most sold an extra 5 taels of silver bills.

It has to be said that the role played by the auction is still very significant.

Of course, Fang Xiu had no chance to visit the auction on this day.

The reason is very simple, the court's decree has been passed on to Fangfu.

Xin'anbo Fangxiu led the inspector of the Central Plains Road to inspect the three Central Plains, and set off immediately to meet the traitor Mu Ying.

It is said that it will start today, but in fact it has been prepared for three days.

Carriages for traveling, objects that may be used on the road, blankets and stoves for heating, books for when you are bored, and some melon and fruit snacks must be prepared.

In addition, there are accompanying personnel.

Bai Xiaochun naturally wanted to follow.

Such a caring dog leg, without him by his side, I always feel uncomfortable.

Moreover, although Bai Xiaochun is not considered a first-rate expert, his strength can barely reach the quasi-first-rate level. He is regarded as the pinnacle of second-rate experts. When necessary, he can block some unexpected situations, such as assassination...

Of course, this kind of situation is extremely unlikely to happen, the reason is very simple, besides Fang Xiu's people, there is also a team of guards who are close to the military mansion.

This guard team was carefully selected from the Shenji Battalion, and everyone has sufficient strength and absolute loyalty.

A total of twenty people are enough to deal with most of the enemies.

A fully armed elite pro army, not to mention the bandits in the Central Plains who can only bully the people, even the barbarians in the grassland may not be able to overcome.

On this day, the capital, which has been gloomy for several days, rarely had a sunny day.

It was just dawn, and a beam of sunlight pierced the darkness and shone on Fang Xiu's face through the dim yellow window.

At this time, a clear and familiar voice came from outside the door.

"Master, you should wake up."

Xiu'er stood outside early, holding a basin of warm water, and called out loudly.

Fang Xiu heard this voice in a haze, slowly opened his eyes, and said in a daze, "Okay..."

Everything is the same as before, washing and changing.

Fang Xiu stretched his body and was about to ask Xiu'er what she had for breakfast this morning.

Seeing that Xiu'er's eyes were a little red, she immediately felt a little distressed, and asked, "What's wrong? Who bullied you? Tell the young master, the young master will teach him a lesson for you!"

When Xiu'er heard this, she shook her head lightly and said, "No one bullies slaves."

"Then why are you crying?"

Fang Xiu was a little puzzled.

Xiu'er lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Young master, can I go to the Central Plains Road with you?"

Since his wife left the capital, Xiu'er has been by Fang Xiu's side all the time.

When she heard that the young master was leaving the capital all of a sudden, and she couldn't be with her, she felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.

Like a cat abandoned by the side of the road.

Thinking that she would not see the young master for the next month or so, she couldn't help but her nose became sore and her eyes couldn't help turning red.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu immediately understood what was going on, and felt even more distressed.

In all fairness, as a little maid, Xiu'er has done her best in his opinion.

When I was hungry, I immediately served some snacks.

Thirsty, the best Longjing tea is already soaking in the teacup.
