【162】What am I afraid of?
"Wow, so cute!"
"Mom, I want this!"
"That mutton is super big, I like it so much!"
The ladies present were all excited, even if they were concerned about a little politeness, their eyes were shining.
After a roundabout way, Wei Jing spoke again, "There are 1,000 taels of Suzaku dolls, and the guests can start bidding."
In fact, the original reserve price was only 500 taels, but after having the experience of the first two princesses, Wei Jing doubled the opening.
"One thousand five hundred taels!"
"I'll pay one thousand eight hundred taels!"
"Two thousand taels!"
"Two thousand five hundred taels!"
Judging from the speed of the bid, this Suzaku Tucao is even more popular than a pocket watch, but this is normal. Most of the people present are wives and ladies.
Bai Xingyou was shocked by the side. Although the group purchase price of pocket watches is 100 star coins lower than that of tutus, in her opinion, pocket watches are obviously more practical than these tutus. She originally thought it was not easy to sell, but she didn't expect it to be a high price.
"Three thousand five hundred taels." Princess Yuanning also shouted, and as soon as she spoke, the rest of the people became quiet.
You should know that the Seventh Princess is the legitimate princess and is most favored by the Empress Dowager. They are not able to compete with this one.
Bai Xingge glanced at the Seventh Princess, and Zhang Wanyue next to her immediately explained. Only then did she know the relationship between the Seventh Princess and her own male.
"Tsk, it's really..." She didn't know what to say, but she just felt that there were a lot of people and they were all relatives!
"The third item is the Xuanwu doll, please watch it..."
Because of the special nature of the Azure Dragon and the White Tiger, Bai Xingge finally only took out a set of Vermilion Bird and a set of Xuanwu dolls for auction. Vermilion Bird sold it to the Seventh Princess for 3,500 taels, while Xuanwu was bought by the four-year-old Prince of Jin for the same price.
King Jin is the third prince. He was only twenty-four years old and four years older than Zhao Fengji. However, he is a very unreliable playmaker. He is proficient in eating, drinking and having fun, and he likes strange treasures the most. When Zhao Fengji sold pocket watches, the first person he thought of was this.
Three items were photographed in a row, and they were all taken away by the royal family. Bai Xingge sighed that there were so many male siblings, but he remembered a question.
Males have so many relatives, so when they get married, do they still have to give gifts one by one?
In the orc world, there is also a rule of recognizing relatives. Although there are no strict requirements, at least a piece of meat or a fruit must be given.
And this rule is placed on the Great Zhao State...
Bai Xingge calculated it, and suddenly felt a little dizzy and distressed. She was going to lose everything!
"Zhang Wanyue, are there any rules here that you have to give gifts to relatives and friends after getting married?" Bai Xing asked bitterly.
Zhang Wanyue nodded, "This must be there." And there are quite a lot of names for giving gifts, it depends on how the person who wants to give gifts.
"Then tell me." Alas, getting married is really expensive!
Zhang Wanyue, a girl who is not married, knows a little, but is not detailed. She just said it simply, "The first thing she wants to give is a meeting gift. When we meet for the first time, we should be prepared for both elders and younger generations. The second is the change of words. If there are younger generations in the family, they should be paid by one person."
After Zhang Wanyue said that, she thought of another one, "If you marry into a wealthy family, you must prepare a reward for the servants and servants, so that you can recognize your new master, so that those people will not be willing to do their best."
"What? Even the servants have to pay?" Bai Xingjie was sitting there, but when he heard this, he jumped up instantly, looking disbelief!
Zhang Wanyue was startled by Bai Xingwei. She was stunned for a moment, thought about it again, pulled the person back and sat down, and asked with some uncertainty: "Master Bai, are you... thinking about yourself?"
"Or what?" She was worried about what others were doing, and she was not idle!
Zhang Wanyue was amused and crying. She had heard of the rumors that this master loved silver a little, but she didn't expect it to be true.
"You can speak softly, don't be heard by others." Seeing that Bai Xing's righteous look had already attracted the attention of others, Zhang Wanyue had to lower her voice.
But Bai Xingge didn't care, "Just listen, you can listen, what can't be heard?"
Zhang Wanyue was helpless and admired, and at the same time she was a little curious, "Are you not afraid of outsiders gossiping?"
Bai Xing raised his eyebrows and asked, "No matter how much gossip I talk, it won't affect my meat. What am I afraid of?"
Bai Xingyou curled his lips and added with a little disdain: "If I really annoy me, I will knock them down. Let's see if they dare to say anything in the future!"
Zhang Wanyue opened her mouth and felt that she should persuade her something. The Regent is very powerful and Grandmaster Bai is also very skilled in kung fu, but if she really beats the wives and ladies of these noble families, the troubles caused will be difficult to deal with.
But looking at Bai Xing's free and easy appearance, she couldn't say these words.
Zhang Wanyue was originally a girl with some ideas, and she was lively and cheerful, tough and strong. Otherwise, she would not have been able to stick to the end if that happened. Even after being rescued, she could have bravely persevered in the face of countless rumors and various ridicule!
"Huh!" Thinking of all the time, Zhang Wanyue let out a sigh of relief and showed a strong smile, "Yes, Grandmaster Bai is aware of those gossips, it's better not to listen to those gossips!"
At this time, the fourth item also entered the display stage. It was a bottle of insect-proof liquid. Although the effect was excellent, there was no one in this circle of displaying it, but instead they all showed disgust.
These nobles from the aristocrats all have exclusive doctors, and the doctors will also configure various anti-worming medicine packages, so there is no need for this insect-proof liquid.
Wei Jing called for a low price of twenty taels. After waiting for a while, no one offered, so he had to fail to sell it.
"These people don't know much about the goods." Bai Xingjie muttered in dissatisfaction, but he didn't say anything else. Who made her a fool who didn't know the goods at all? She didn't like the smell of this insect-proof liquid at all!
"The fifth item is called the flashlight, which has a very magical effect. It can be illuminated without wax oil. It can also be carried with you. It is very convenient to use and the effect is even more magical than the Night Pearl."
After Weijing finished speaking, a servant held a flashlight to display it. In order to better show its lighting effect, Weijing also prepared two black cloths so that everyone could see the function of the flashlight more clearly.
"It's so bright!"
"It's so amazing!"
"Don't you really need wax oil? Then how long can it take?"
This is the first time that guests have seen such a magical object, and their interest is greater than that of pocket watches.
