Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

The term charity auction is still unfamiliar to everyone.

However, since this word comes from Prince Ji's Mansion, people don't find it strange.

In recent years, many words have come from the Prince Ji’s Mansion, such as investment, shares, dividends, loans and many other words.

Sure enough, not long after, word spread among the public about what a charity auction was.

The word charity has been around for a long time, and most people understand it, which means doing good deeds.

The focus is on the auction, and the explanation given is very simple, which is to sell things.

Put together to sell things for charity.

After the common people understood, they began to discuss whether Prince Ji wanted to change his reputation.

Don’t want to be the overlord of Chang’an anymore?

The first thing that came to the minds of the princes, nobles, and aristocratic families was what tricks Prince Ji was playing again.

Is this so-called auction a trap for them?

If you are bitten by a snake today, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years.

Nowadays, as long as there is any disturbance in Prince Ji's Mansion, all forces will be cautious.

However, the rumor soon changed direction.

It is said that the people invited to this auction are all people who like to do good deeds on a daily basis.

In other words, being able to participate in an auction is a reflection of a person’s character.

I also heard that after the auction, the entire process, including the names of the participants, will be published in the Tang Daily.

And send it to all parts of the country so that the people of the Tang Dynasty can know about these people's good deeds.

This alone made many powerful people want to participate.

However, many officials and dignitaries discovered one thing: not all dignitaries received invitations.

Even some dukes did not receive an invitation.

These dignitaries who did not receive invitation letters are panicking. What does this mean?

Isn't this telling the world that you have bad character? You can curse people without using any dirty words.

Time was running out, so these people started looking for ways.

"Manager Wang, what do you mean? Why didn't my Duke receive an invitation?

Do you look down on my master?"

Inside the boutique, a man dressed as a manager spoke angrily to Wang Hongfu.

"I'm in charge of the affairs of the court, so I can't speak carelessly. How dare Wang look down on Duke Shen?"

Wang Hongfu sat there and replied calmly.

Wang Hongfu didn't even take the manager of a small Gao family seriously.

If he hadn't come on behalf of Duke Shen, Wang Hongfu would have ignored him.

"My Duke asked me to ask Shopkeeper Wang why there is no invitation from him?

Is it intentional? Our old Duke Shen has devoted his life to the Tang Dynasty, but now he is gone and forgotten?"

This steward was also very good at speaking and brought Gao Shilian out.

He didn't dare to speak directly to Prince Ji for fear of being beaten to death.

“Alas, Senior Manager, I will tell you the truth. This matter was not Prince Ji’s intention, and it is not my fault.

The fault for this matter lies entirely with Wang Xuance, the chief secretary of Prince Ji's palace.

If he hadn't sent out so many invitations, there wouldn't have been so many people who didn't receive them."

Wang Hongfu pretended to be too quiet and pushed the responsibility onto Wang Xuance.

"Wang Changshi?"

"That's right. Actually, we can't blame Wang Changshi. His Royal Highness Prince Ji only gave him two days.

Not only was his schedule interrupted, but he was also often interrupted by Prince Ji to do other things.

Duke Shen should know that although the Prince Ji's Mansion could have a government office and a mansion, there would only be a few officials.

So in the end, we just gave out as much as we wrote down. My prince said that we must prepare in advance next time."

Wang Hongfu seemed to feel a little regretful as he spoke.

“This…” People have come to this point, and the Gao family’s steward has nothing to say.

He could only say goodbye angrily, then turn away and go back to report.

"Please stay, sir."

Before the senior manager had walked far, he heard someone talking behind him.

He turned around and saw a man with shifty eyes, and he couldn't help but frown.

"Are you calling me?"

The man came to the senior manager and nodded:

"Yes, I am the noble man you are calling."

"What do you want?" If an ordinary person met this kind of thug, he would be scared, but he was the steward of the Duke's Mansion.

These thugs should be afraid of him.

The shifty-looking man looked around and asked in a low voice:

"Your Excellency, do you want an invitation to the Ji Palace Charity Auction?"

The senior manager's pupils shrank when he heard this.

"How did you know?"

"Haha, don't worry, my dear. All the people who came here today came for the invitation. There are already more than a dozen of them."

The man laughed, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth.

Hearing this, Director Gao dispelled his doubts and nodded. He also knew that there should be many people who wanted this invitation now.

However, he looked at the man and asked:

"Why are you asking me this? Do you still have the invitation?"

The senior manager was just making a sarcastic remark, but he didn't expect the big yellow-toothed man to look around again.

After finding no one around, he nodded:

"My dear, I really do have one."

"You really have it?" The senior manager was stunned.

"To be honest, sir, didn't I just say that everyone who came to the boutique today came for the invitation?

So the villain wanted to make some money, so he went to the industrial park and stole one. "

"Stole one?" The senior manager was surprised. This was too bold. If he was caught, wouldn't he be beaten to death?

"Oh, my lord, please keep your voice down. This matter cannot be made public." Da Huangya looked around hurriedly, terrified.

"My lord, after I stole the invitation, I discovered that there was no signature on the invitation to Prince Ji's Mansion, so anyone can enter with it.

So I came over to ask you if you want it?" Big Yellow Teeth asked in a low voice.

The senior manager didn't say anything after hearing this. He looked at the man with yellow teeth carefully. He knew from the sharp-nosed and monkey-faced man that he was a thief.

Looking at the clothes, they are also ordinary.

He wondered if this was a scam, and after thinking for a while he said:

"Is your invitation fake?"

Dahuangya immediately became excited after hearing this:

"My Lord, how can it be fake? I stole this from a big merchant in the First Chamber of Commerce."

As he spoke, Da Huangya took out the invitation from his bosom, opened it and showed it to the senior manager, pointed at it and said:

"Look, look, there is also the official seal of Prince Ji's Mansion."

The senior official took a look and saw that it was indeed the official seal of Prince Ji's Mansion. Then he looked at Da Huangya's anxious expression and it didn't seem like he was lying.

He believed it mostly in his heart.

"How much does this invitation cost?" the senior manager asked. If he could buy it, he could go back and report back.

Big Yellow Teeth held out two fingers.

"Twenty strings of cash?" The senior manager frowned. He didn't have twenty strings of cash, and he thought the price was a bit high.

But Da Huangya shook his head and said:

"No, sir, it's not twenty strings of cash, it's two thousand strings of cash."

“Two thousand kan!!”

When I heard that it was not twenty strings of coins for the official, I thought it was two strings of coins. For a gangster like this, two strings of coins was a huge sum of money.

But no one expected that the yellow-toothed lion would open its mouth and ask for two thousand strings of cash.

(I wrote until five in the morning. I don’t know why I swallowed my words. I am going to collapse.)
