The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 608

[Chapter 608 I want it all]

about Fang Ru, and that’s as far as it goes.

A few days after Fang Xiu returned home, the special auction of colored glaze organized by Baolefang officially started.

Because colored glaze is still uncommon in Chu State, many merchants who like to collect rare treasures and some civil and military ministers were present.

After the development of the past two months, these dignitaries in the capital have already become familiar with the emerging method of auctions.

During this period of time, Baolefang continued to improve the rules of the auction, and now, it is rare for anyone to take advantage of the loopholes.

Today’s Baolefang auction is not held in the simple hut where the first auction was held. Instead, a new hall is built next to Baolefang. It is spacious, simple, yet elegant.

It just fits the aesthetic point of view of these powerful people participating in the auction.

Fang Xiu had nothing to do at home, so he came to join in the fun before the auction started.

It’s just that he doesn’t sit in rows like others, but has a box that belongs to him alone.

Inside the box, there are all kinds of furniture, and there is also a sofa with the characteristics required by Fang Xiu. It is made of fine cowhide. It is not only tough, but also very comfortable to lie on, especially when it is covered with a layer of mink fur. situation.

Even if it was placed in the past life of Fang Xiu, it was definitely high-end furniture.

Fang Xiu was lying on the sofa with his legs crossed, drinking the fine wine produced in the northwest, and watching the nobles in front of him crowded around, blowing each other’s beards and glaring at each other, which he found very interesting.

A moment later, a gong sounded, signaling the official start of the auction.

The entire hall fell silent for an instant, and even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard clearly.

It’s not that these people are highly conscious, it’s purely because of Baolefang’s strict rules.

Anyone, regardless of their status, who makes loud noises during non-bidding time will be expelled without any mercy.

For these nobles, such strict rules are undoubtedly a joke.

If there is a place in this world where they can be so cautious, it is only a few palaces in the Imperial Palace. In any case, it is not the turn of a small Baolefang.

However, countless facts have proven that their ideas are wrong.

Even a small Baolefang can calm them down.

Because of the previous auctions, countless fourth- and fifth-grade officials were driven out without mercy.

Moreover, those people were filled with righteous indignation at first, but later silently suffered this dumb loss.

All this is enough to show that Baolefang is not something they imagined they could lightly despise.

Especially after hearing that Xin Amber was behind Baolefang, no one dared to cause trouble at the auction.

“Everyone, I won’t say any more polite words. Next, we will officially start today’s auction.”

The person who presided over the auction was Wang Baole.

He stood at the front of the hall, looking at the nobles below, feeling his heart surge.

Without the young master’s vigorous cultivation, it would have been extremely rare for him to meet these people.

Now he was able to stand in front of them and talk to them, which already filled him with pride.

“I believe you have heard that the treasures being auctioned today are the glazed treasures that Mr. Li entrusted us to auction at Baolefang!”

As soon as Wang Baole finished speaking, two delicate girls came out holding the vases made of glazed glass. He came up and placed it gently on the countertop.

“Everyone in this capital, or even in the entire Chu State, is a prominent figure, and there are more or less collections of treasures in their houses.

Although this glass is not big, its appearance is excellent, and it is shaped into The appearance of the bottle makes it a high-quality treasure whether it is collected or used as a decoration.

Not much to say, you have an idea of its value. The base price is 500 taels, and each increase must not be less than 50 taels. , officially started shooting!”

As he said that, he slammed the gavel in his hand.

Almost at the same time, someone below raised the sign in their hand.

There were a few capital words written on it – five hundred taels.

“Okay, someone has already made a bid, five hundred taels per time.”

Before Wang Baole could finish his words, many people in the hall raised their signs.

“Six hundred taels once”

“Seven hundred taels once”

“Eight hundred and fifty taels once, eight hundred and fifty taels once, okay, deal!”

The wooden hammer fell again, and Wang Baole showed a smile on his face and looked at the man , cupped his hands and said: “Congratulations to this lord, I am pleased to present you a glass treasure worth 850 taels!”

The man also smiled, stood up, and returned the gift.

The most valued item in today’s auction was this glass treasure. After that, several antique calligraphy and paintings were auctioned, but they were considered commonplace and not rare.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the last item appeared as the finale. It was the top priority today, and it was naturally one of the seven glazed treasures!

“Everyone, this glass treasure was entrusted by Mr. Li for sale. Needless to say about its appearance, you can see that it is exquisite and clear. It can be said to be a treasure from the sea.

The starting price is one thousand taels of silver, and each increase must not be less than one hundred. Two, shooting officially started!”

The wooden hammer fell on the table, and everyone raised the signs in their hands.

One thousand taels.

One thousand one hundred taels.

One thousand five hundred taels.

The competition is getting fiercer every time.

However, as we get to the back, there are fewer and fewer people holding placards.

When it reached one thousand six hundred taels, only three or four people who loved Liuli very much were still raising signs.

In fact, this piece of colored glaze is indeed the best among the seven pieces of colored glaze owned by Charlie.

When Charlie and the others appraised it, they thought that these seven pieces of colored glaze could be sold for two thousand taels in the capital, and this piece of colored glaze would be worth one-third.

Of course, since it was their first time in the capital, they had never seen what an auction would be like before.

Little did he know that such rare treasures would always fetch much higher prices than expected at auctions.

If they had attended an auction, they probably wouldn’t have been shocked by the 10,000 taels of silver.

Of course, even if they wanted more money, they still had no way to deal with Fang Xiu’s threat.

After all, they did hide a lot of facts, and the facts they concealed were enough for many people to kill them!

Fang Xiu’s move was both a threat and a protection.

The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the bib

. Obviously, Charlie is the common man who is guilty of carrying the bib.

It’s okay to meet a reasonable person like Fang Xiu, but if you meet someone like Prince Ning, you won’t even be able to get even a tael of silver. It’s great luck to be able to save your life in the end.

“I’ll give you two thousand taels!”

As the bid increased, the auction was pushed into the final fierce competition.

An old man couldn’t hold himself any longer and stood up from his chair.

At this time, a sudden sound made the entire hall become extremely silent.

“I offer five thousand taels. Except for this one, I want all the remaining six glazed treasures of Mr. Li!”
