Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

The reason why he came here was because Liu Bai would definitely not beat himself up in front of his father, queen and queen.

If he went out now, wouldn't it be in Liu Bai's hands again?

But the emperor had spoken, and if he didn't go, he would definitely be punished more seriously.

He had no choice but to carry the plate and walk out resentfully.

While walking, he also looked around nervously, for fear that Liu Bai would appear again.

Fortunately, Liu Bai was not here, and he didn't know what he was busy with. Li Chengqian quickly brought two large plates full of snacks.

Knowing that his mother was pregnant, he deliberately didn't take hawthorn, longan and the like, which were not good for pregnant women.

Empress Changsun put a piece of crispy pear in her mouth, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Usually, Liu Bai would also send some out-of-season fruits and vegetables to the palace, but they didn't taste as sweet as the real ones at Liu's."

Li Chengqian came up and said: "My mother doesn't know, the fruits of the Liu family are all grown in the greenhouse. Although you don't have to care about the season, it will only taste good when you have just picked it!"

Empress Changsun nodded and said: "Everything has its own laws when you drink and peck. Although you can eat fruits in winter, they are still not as good as summer and autumn. It seems that Chengqian has learned a lot in Liu's house. Less stuff!"

No matter how old a child is, as long as he hears his parents' praise, he will always smile like a fool.

Li Chengqian looked like this at the moment.

After drinking a few mouthfuls of fruit juice and eating a few mouthfuls of fruit, Empress Changsun put down the fork.

The fruit is cold in nature, and eating too much is not good for children.

She looked around, and through the curtain made of light gauze, she could see everyone clearly.

"Didn't Liu Bai also invite the imperial wives? Why didn't you see any of them?"

Li Chengqian pointed to the other side of the rockery, and said: "They are all over there, as if they are holding some kind of fashion show, and I don't know what the mystery is!"

"Fashion Show?"

Empress Changsun was startled.

"It sounds like a women's gathering. Anyway, the banquet hasn't started yet, why don't you ask Cheng Qian to take you to see it!" Li Er interjected.

No matter how noble a woman is, she cannot escape the temptation of clothes and jewelry.

Upon hearing this, Empress Changsun was immediately tempted.

Like a dog's leg, Li Chengqian stepped forward to support Empress Changsun, and led her to the other side of the rockery.

Outside the warehouse!

Shen Wansan finally checked all the items for tonight's auction carefully.

Except for the glazed rabbit that he accidentally smashed, there are a total of one hundred and five pieces!

Liu Bai saw that there was half a glazed rabbit head left on the ground, so he didn't care. He kicked it to the wall and said, "Since the number is correct, let's start!"

Shen Wansan agreed, and immediately ordered someone to make arrangements.

Soon, the long table with fruit snacks was removed.

Instead, a small square table with high legs.

Everyone was still puzzled, wondering what kind of trick Liu Bai was going to play again.

At this time, Shen Wansan came forward with a small wooden hammer in his hand, cleared his throat, and Langsheng said: "Little Shen Wansan, on behalf of my young master, welcome the Supreme Emperor, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and all your lords!"

With a wave of his hand, two servants came up carrying a wooden box.

After opening the wooden box, put an object covered with a red cloth on the table.

"You must have heard that a few days ago, my young master spent all his family's wealth in order to build an academy. It happened that the family hoarded some things, and took this opportunity to auction them all, so as to make money for the family!"

Originally, people were listening with great interest, even Li Yuan and Wang Ji stopped talking.

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed, and let out a 'tss' in their hearts.

Liu Bai scattered all his wealth?

It's a liar!

Not to mention the Liu family's business in Chang'an, the monthly income from the iron mines in Youzhou alone is more than the wealth accumulated by other families in a lifetime!

Knowing that time was running out, Shen Wansan tapped the small wooden hammer.

"Not much to say, let's start the first auction. If you have something you like, please bid!"

As he spoke, he tore off the red cloth.

Everyone stretched their necks and looked in front of Shen Wansan!

When a glazed Buddha statue appeared, everyone gasped!

Chapter 199 It turns out that they are all so rich

The people present were all savvy, and they could see the value of the glazed Buddha statue at a glance!

A piece of glazed ornaments sold by merchants in the Western Regions is worth more than 1 guan.

So how much is this three-foot-high glazed Buddha statue worth? !

Everyone was taken aback. Unexpectedly, it was such a big deal at the beginning!

Li Er was also quite surprised.

This glazed Buddha statue is considered a treasure in the palace!

Thinking of his glass cup, which was only the size of a palm, Li Er immediately wanted to take a picture of the glass Buddha!

But he thought again.

If it was photographed, Liu Bai would definitely not accept money based on his relationship with Liu Bai.

He already owed Liu Bai a lot, but it would be too much to accept Liuli Buddha!

He could only suppress his thoughts, rubbing his hands unnaturally, feeling uncomfortable.

"Ten thousand strings!"

In the tent on the left, someone yelled loudly.

Shen Wansan glanced at the seat list, and said with a smile, "The Prince of Hejian County bids [-] guan!"

The bidder was none other than Li Xiaogong!

He stood up and arched his hands towards the surroundings, the meaning was obvious.

I want to ask other people to give this Buddha statue to myself.

As the one with the highest official position and the greatest power among the princes, when he made an offer, the prince and ministers who were originally excited suddenly became depressed.

No matter how good the baby is, it is not as important as my own life.

What is the difference between offending Hejian County King and courting death?

But after all, Li Xiaogong is not a minister who is under one person or above ten thousand people. He has the same status as him, and there are not a few of them.

Moreover, there is no need to give him face.

Fang Xuanling and the others also looked at the Buddha statue with fascination.

That shape, that craftsmanship, makes one's heart itch.

However, they knew that there was a fraud in it, and they had already agreed that no matter how good the baby was, they could not make a move!

"Twenty thousand sticks!"

Fang Xuanling and the others were shocked by Xiao Yu's words!

Didn't we discuss it?

How can you go back on your word?

Xiao Yu's eyeballs were red, and the beard on his chin was shaking non-stop.

He scratched the edge of the table, feeling so excited that he couldn't control himself.

Li Xiaogong's face darkened, he wanted to see who it was that disrespected himself.

However, when he saw that the person fighting with him was Xiao Yu, his face softened a little.

It is impossible for Li Xiaogong to be merciful when bidding with others.

They are all noble people, even if they don't have enough money, they can't lose face!

But Xiao Yu is different

They all believe in Buddhism. How could they give up a glazed Buddha statue to others when they saw it?

Xiao Yu cupped his hands at Li Xiaogong, and said: "Please also give Xiao a face, this Buddha statue is of great significance to Xiao!"

Li Xiaogong nodded in understanding, and sat down slowly.

Looking at this posture, there must be a lot of babies, so don't be in a hurry.

Shen Wansan said: "Master Xiao bids [-] guan. I don't know which price will be higher than Master Xiao?"

No one spoke.

Looking at Xiao Yu's appearance, it is estimated that whoever dares to rob him will fight on the spot.

Shen Wansan saw that there were no more bids, so he picked up the wooden hammer and tapped on the table again.

"Twenty thousand times!"

"[-] punctures twice!"

"Twenty thousand and three times! Deal, this glazed Buddha statue belongs to Lord Xiao!"

Xiao Yu didn't care about face, ran out in a hurry, hugged the Buddha statue in his arms, and almost kissed him a few times.

"Where is the money?"

Shen Wansan handed over a bond and said, "Lord Xiao just needs to sign his name on it, and the Liu family will naturally come to collect the money in the future!"

Xiao Yu couldn't wait to sign his name, and left with the Buddha statue, not even the wooden box.

Back in the tent, seeing Fang Xuanling and the others looking at him, Xiao Yu smiled sheepishly and said, "I made everyone laugh."

Don't mention how beautiful he is.

Putting the glazed Buddha statue at home not only expresses my piety, but also saves face. Maybe all the Buddhist disciples in the Tang Dynasty will come to worship at my home in the future!

As for the things discussed with Fang Xuanling and the others in advance, it has long been thrown out of the blue!

With the first baby as an example, everyone became interested and their hearts were full of anticipation.

Glazeware is really in demand.

I can't see a few pieces throughout the year.

Merchants in the Western Regions also sell this thing very expensively.

It couldn't be more cost-effective to buy a three-foot-high glazed vessel for [-] yuan!

Maybe if you sell it upside down, you can earn several times!

For a while, everyone was gearing up.

Must buy one to take home!

Even if you don't hand it down, it can be a family heirloom!

clang clang-

Shen Wansan knocked the hammer and said, "Everyone, please be quiet!"

The servant brought up the second lot.

When I lifted the red cloth and looked, there was another uproar!

A glazed eagle twice the size of the Buddha statue appeared in front of everyone as if it was about to fly.

Against the backdrop of the lights, the eagle seems to come alive, with sharp claws, a terrifying beak, and feathers, so lifelike!

"Twenty thousand sticks!"

"Thirty thousand pens!"
