Chapter 348 Auction
My parents loved her and gave her all the most valuable and best antique calligraphy and paintings and other good things. She felt sorry for her and planned to buy some. This opportunity was rare, so she came up with this idea.
The Qu family is a family of military generals and was once among the first-class families. Do you know whether the wealth is gathered in war? His family owes a lot of silver and does not have enough cash, so they can only use antiques to pay the bill. Fortunately, the family still has some background, so they can barely pay it back.
When you use something, you will first estimate the price, and you will refund the more and make up for it. Remember it in your account and finally put it together. If it is too much, you will return it to you.
Zi Lan told the manager early. When he met a good product, he didn't have to report to the name and take the photo back. Is it rare?
After reading the things from the Qu family, my father said that they were not bad. He gave her a special order and asked her to pick up what she liked to buy.
Zilan took the carriage early and took her two sisters to Xianglou to participate in the auction. Shishi and Kazuka had not left for a while, so she took them out to relax.
When I arrived at Xianglou, the manager came out and reported while leading the way.
"The things have been delivered. I specially sent guards and archers to guard them, and I dared not make any mistakes. They are indeed good things, but this time the Qu family has bleed a lot."
"It's a little bit bigger, and this is also a personal fate. If the things from Qu's family can be sold at a good price, he can naturally remember us.
The handover procedures must be done as I said. If someone is slutty and deceives someone, the building will suffer losses, it is not a matter of money. It is the people of the Song family who lost the Song family in the capital. Don’t blame me for not caring about the past.”
The manager immediately bent down and lowered his head, with a very respectful attitude, "Don't worry, Miss, I'll keep an eye on this matter myself and guarantee that there will be no problems."
"Well, I asked the clan Lijia to send a good man to guard the guard. Remember to send someone to pick up things and send some bows and arrows and weapons. Just in case, four shifts will guard the warehouse in turn. You must check carefully during the handover and keep your eyes bright. If you do this well, I will have a lot of rewards, and everyone's good will be indispensable."
Zi Lan arranged in a calm and orderly manner.
"Yes. Please, you are ready."
"Well, after serving the distinguished guests, don't annoy anyone."
"Don't worry, I've explained it a long time ago. All six guys are in the building to help."
I went all the way to the exclusive private room on the second floor, "Go and make some good tea."
"yes."
The guy went to serve tea and snacks very carefully.
"You are getting more and more popular, and you are full of guests in broad daylight."
Shishi didn't come often, so she came here twice. At first, she came with her family and played with her family when she first opened.
"It's going to be lively every now and then, otherwise it'll be cold. This thing is expensive, so it won't be fun. Otherwise, why would I do this thankless thing? It's just for fame."
"So, you have really put a lot of effort into this Xianglou."
Kawaka also looked emotional.
Everyone in the Song family knows that Xianglou was built by two families. After the work was done, Zilan took care of it alone, making it prosperous bit by bit. This Xianglou is a few years of hard work.
The amount was set since she was built, and she handed over to the emperor a hundred thousand taels every year. She lost money if she didn't make money in the first two years. She tried her best to make money from other places and then filled in this pit. She never told anyone except her own family, nor did she say anything about it.
It is precisely because of this that she took the order of the head of the family and enjoyed some benefits. No one of the tribe members and sisters and brothers said a word, that is, the benefits of several stores.
The benefits of the big head are all obtained by uncles and brothers. Everyone is clear in their hearts because the Song family changed their eyes to the emperor and the opportunity to be in the court.
"It doesn't matter. I'm going to come back if I don't know what's going on. If this matter is done, the emperor has to think about our family's contribution. Uncle and brothers can be more smooth in the court, and it's also good to get more opportunities."
"Very good, it's worth your efforts."
Shishi sighed faintly.
As they spoke, the outside became quiet. When the auctioneer came out, everyone suddenly became silent.
The auction has begun. First, I will show you the antique porcelain placed on the stage, and introduce this thing in detail from various aspects, including the age and other objects.
The big customers who have paid the deposit can first wear gloves and check it out, confirm that it is true, and then start the auction.
The guests were very interested. There were many people auctioning the goods, and the items had a reserve price. They were decided by officials from the Ministry of Revenue and could not be less than this number.
The first piece of porcelain was taken out to make a hot spot, but there were even better ones. The first piece of porcelain was not taken or snatched with other customers.
After several rounds of bidding, I was bought by a merchant. There must be someone behind this, so it’s hard to say who it is.
The next things were pretty good, and Shishi and Kawaka were all moved by it.
"What do you two like? Let the guy take a photo and buy it back. I'll give it to you."
"No need to do it. We have a silver note when we come out, so you don't need to give it to you."
Both of them are not short of money and are rich.
The auction went very smoothly and I bought several items. Zilan was waiting for a calligraphy and painting, which was collected by famous artists.
That was the last lot.
While talking, he pricked his ears and asked the guy to go and take a photo if he missed it.
Cui Hao came, he came a little late, so he left someone to leave the platform to make it easier for auction, and followed the guy up.
"You're also here to watch the fun. I thought you didn't have time."
Zilan greeted him with a smile.
"I heard that I came here specially. Am I late?"
"Otherwise, at the beginning, his family took a lot of things to sell, and there are some things to go on. They will not close to the business tonight and do it all night. I am also afraid of losing things or damageing them."
"Oh, that's good. I heard that the things are good. I came here specially. If there is good, I will take them down. What are you interested in?"
"A painting."
"Hey, then I understand. Don't worry, I can take a picture."
Cui Hao took a sip of tea and remembered which painting was on the list.
"You want it too, then I can give it to you, just let me appreciate it for a few days."
"No, I'll take a photo and give it to you."
"Sorry, I bought it for my family to keep it. My parents gave it to me as a dowry. I want to buy some for my family to keep it."
"It doesn't matter, why are you polite to me? It doesn't matter. I have money myself, and my mother can't manage the financial affairs. In order to avoid worrying, my father threw all my mother's dowry to me very early."
Cui Hao explained with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll take advantage."
Zi Lan blushed embarrassedly and agreed without continuing to refuse.
The city never sleeps during the auction, so the guests are also very active. After a while, the Seventh Prince and the Tenth Prince also arrived. Cui Hao pulled Zilan over to say hello.
The two princes booked a private room, which was booked all year round, and often came to play. They also like to drink her wine, but they spent a lot of money on it.
"You two are here to buy things, too."
"Yes, I heard that the things from the Qu family are good, and I was worried that they would be damaged or lost, so I thought it would be best to sell them immediately, and there would be good things in the future.
I'll ask the guy to wait at your door, and there's a dedicated person downstairs to take charge of the auction of the private room, so just run errands and send messages."
Zilan thought very thoughtfully.
"become."
