The best county magistrate

"Ladies and ladies, there are only ten sets available for auction this time!"

"I repeat, there are only ten sets!"

"Because dressing tables and bathtubs are too difficult to make, craftsmen can only make a few in a year, so..."

Before Yang Xuanchen finished speaking, the women below became even crazier.

"Lord Xiao Yang, please stop talking!" The speaker was the wife of the Minister of Revenue Jiang Zekai.

"Whether it's one set or ten sets today, I, Qiu Xinyi, will buy them!"

Her words were full of dominance, causing a group of women to feel dissatisfied.

"Your man is the Minister of Revenue, right?"

"The Minister of Revenue is indeed extraordinary. Even his wife is so arrogant!"

"Isn't it possible that Lord Jiang, who is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, secretly enriched himself? Otherwise, where did Madam Jiang get all this money?"

After being ridiculed by everyone, Qiu Xinyi's face did not look very good.

It was Jiang Zekai who stood up at this time and shared her hatred for the enemy.

"Everyone here, I, Jiang Zekai, am upright and honest, and I will never embezzle the money of the Ministry of Revenue!"

"Heaven and earth can bear witness to this!"

"If you have any complaints about me, Jiang Zekai, you can report me to the Censorate or to His Majesty!"

"Madam has been with me, Jiang, for more than 20 years. It was only in recent years that our lives have become better and we have saved more."

"Why do we work hard as officials or businessmen to make a living? Isn't it so that our wives can live a better life?"

As he spoke, he held his wife in his arms and looked at her with doting eyes.

"Madam! Even if I have to sell everything I have today, I will buy you what you like!"

At this point, Jiang Zekai turned his gaze to the stage, "Master Xiao Yang! I, Jiang Zekai, will pay 15,000 taels!"

Wow!

As soon as this price was announced, the whole audience fell silent.

It’s not that other families can’t afford the money, it’s because Jiang Zekai, the usually stingy Minister of Revenue, finally got to be a man for once.

He is so domineering in spending money and so adoring in doting on his wife.

No matter whether they were men or women, they couldn't help but admire him and couldn't bear to tear him down at this time.

Qiu Xinyi's eyes were filled with love. Looking at the man in front of her who had been with her for more than 20 years, she felt joy from the bottom of her heart!

"Master Jiang is so domineering! Thank you for your generosity, Master Jiang."

Yang Xuanchen glanced around and shouted in a louder voice, "Fifteen thousand taels per time!"

"Fifteen thousand taels twice!"

"Fifteen thousand two or three times!"

After he finished speaking, no one made a bid, a look of relief appeared on his face, and he continued shouting.

"Good! Let's give a warm round of applause to congratulate Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang!"

"Lord Jiang and his wife have a deep love that is stronger than gold. They are role models for our generation and a model for Great Yan. Please give them a warmer round of applause!"

"Let us send our sincerest blessings to Mr. and Mrs. Jiang!"

His remarks pushed the auction to a climax again.

The women envy Qiu Xinyi for having a man like Jiang Zekai who is rich and loves his wife.

The man looked at Jiang Zekai in silence. What should we do if you do this?

The following auction was particularly exciting.

The price of this set was pushed up to over thirty thousand taels.

Zhou Miaomiao and Yu Wei, who knew the cost, widened their eyes and covered their mouths, with disbelief written all over their faces.

"I'm rich, I'm rich!" Zhao Xue came to the two girls with an exclamation.

"Sister Miaomiao, Sister Yu, we are rich!"

"With him around, it's hard not to get rich." Zhou Miaomiao glanced at Yang Xuanchen on the stage and continued, "Xiaoxue, how much income have we made so far?"

"If we calculate the price of ten sets at an average of 20,000 taels, plus the wine and tea we bought earlier."

"Our income tonight is over 500,000 taels."

Zhao Xue excitedly reported a number.

"Not bad, not bad. There are several thousand kilograms of fine salt and silk, as well as some other things. It seems that you should have no problem getting more than one million taels tonight!"

Yu Wei said with a faint smile.

After the third round of auction was over, Yang Xuanchen handed over the auctioneer task for the second half to Zhao Xue.

He himself knocked on the door of Room A1.

As soon as Yang Xuanchen entered the door, he took a big gulp of tea before even saying hello.

"Your Majesty, may your Majesty live long and long. Your Majesty, may your Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand years."

"Okay, no need to be so polite." Emperor Jianwen looked at him with a smile and continued, "This auction is amazing!"

"This is the first time I've seen you. You did a great job!"

"But maybe Master Murong will be troubled next."

Yang Xuanchen curled his lips and said, "Your Majesty, every time the old master sees me, he asks me, 'Xiao Yang, do you want a wife?'"

"Your Majesty, you know me well. I am really too busy to handle it!"

"We can't waste Miss Murong's youth, right?"

"We invited Miss Murong to make a guest appearance today to promote her reputation and help her solve her lifelong problems."

"Okay, okay, you are right!" Concubine Shu praised.

"Why don't you try to find a way to solve Xiaoxue's lifelong problem?"

This stumped Yang Xuanchen, as he knew what Zhao Xue was thinking of him.

However, according to convention, royal princesses usually marry a prince consort.

There was a precedent in the Jing Dynasty of a princess marrying a king of the opposite sex.

However, there is only one king of a different surname in Dayan at present, so it is not necessary to marry her to Duan Zhenglong.

It is not possible for him, Yang Xuanchen, to marry a prince consort, and it is not possible for her, Zhao Xue, to marry someone.

It's very troubling.

"Your Highness, Zijinzhai has just started and needs the eldest princess to take care of it. Besides, the eldest princess is still young, so there is no need to rush. We can just wait and see!"

At this time, Concubine Xian smiled and said, "When Xiaoxue talks about your master, she can't hide her joy on her face."

"Your Majesty, why don't we find a new Junior Secretary and let Xuanchen become the Prince Consort instead."

Emperor Jianwen laughed when he heard this and did not take these jokes seriously.

Yang Xuanchen was shocked, but was Zhao Xue's shock so obvious?

"Xuanchen can't be my son-in-law. I have to use him."

"As for Xiaoxue's marriage, there is no need to rush for one or two years. What if this kid has made great achievements in the past few years and is crowned a king of a different surname..."

Emperor Jianwen did not say everything, but he did point out a clear path to Yang Xuanchen.

If you can accomplish great things, I will make you king.

By then, whether my eldest princess wants to marry or you want to marry her, it will be legitimate.

"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no improper thoughts about the eldest princess, but I will serve Your Majesty until my death!"

Emperor Jianwen waved his hand to show his approval of his attitude.

"You and Xiaoxue are not that far apart in age, so let things take their natural course in your relationship. Don't force it."

"But I have to say this in advance. If my eldest princess really likes you, you won't be able to become a prince in a few years."

"Then I will chop off your head and stop her from having such thoughts. I will find an honest man to be my consort."

Yang Xuanchen was speechless. What was this? Are you using the beauty trap?

Do you believe that doing this will not only cost you your daughter, but also your army?

If I want, I’ll use some of my tricks on her to seduce girls, and in ten months I’ll make you my grandfather!

"Yu'er, look!"

Concubine Shu tugged at Concubine Xian's sleeve and shouted.

"Is that the boy Yanli?"

Following the direction of Concubine Shu's finger, Concubine Xian looked over.

"It seems to be that guy. Who is the woman with the veil beside him?"

Yang Xuanchen also looked over when he heard the voice, and immediately sweat broke out on his forehead.

"No wonder Yanli's mind was not on the auction. It turns out he has just fallen in love." Concubine Xian muttered.

"But our Yanli is still too young, and it is a bit early for him to get married now. We don't need to worry about a man's emotional affairs, let him develop freely." This is what Emperor Jianwen said.

Next, Yang Xuanchen reported the general situation of the auction and then left.

When he passed by Room No. 2, he hesitated for a while, but finally knocked on the door.
