Chapter 218 Hot Auction

"Three thousand taels of silver!" Finally someone shouted out the latest height. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw that it was Huaiyuan Hou Chang Yanling who called for this price.

In the venue, there was a silence, and no one dared to bid with this guy anymore. After all, the number of 3,000 taels of silver was too terrible. The land price per acre of land in Jiangnan in the late Ming Dynasty was about four to five taels, and 3,000 taels of silver could be purchased for six or seven hundred acres. There were not many people who spent a lot of money, and those who could bid for 3,000 taels of silver were not ordinary people.

But Huaiyuan Hou Chang Yanling is not an ordinary person, Chang Yanling is a descendant of Chang Yuchun. Although after Chang Yuchun's son Chang Mao died, the Duke of the Kingdom was awarded the title of title and became a marquis, the Chang family's wealth for nearly three hundred years can be said to be rich enough to rival the country, and spending a lot of money was not a problem for Chang Yanling.

No one dares to bid with Chang Yanling again, and even the rich and willful Zheng Sen dares to fight with Chang Yanling. Zheng Sen is rich, but he hopes to negotiate a large business with Zhao Peng and buy transparent glass products in large quantities to facilitate sales to overseas. Therefore, Zheng Sen pays more attention to profit when buying things, rather than to view them at home.

"The first time for three thousand taels, the second time for three thousand taels, the third time for three thousand taels, the deal was completed!" As Wang Xin's hammer fell heavily on the table, this transparent glass vase was purchased by Huaiyuan Hou Chang Yanling.

Chang Yanling took out the 3,000 taels of silver notes from the Royal Merchant of the Ming Dynasty, walked to the stage, and handed the silver notes to Zhao Peng.

Zhao Peng received the silver notes and handed them to Han Zanzhou, who was sitting beside him. Then he personally picked up the transparent glass vase and handed the exquisite transparent glass vase to Chang Yanling's hand with both hands: "Congratulations to Huaiyuanhou for taking this treasure!"

Hiding behind the screen, Princess Kunxing, dressed in men's clothing, covered her mouth and tried hard not to make herself speak, laughing happily: "This thing is extremely cheap. I heard that Zhao Lang can't say that the capital of one tael of silver is enough. It's sold for 3,000 taels. Is this money too easy to make, right?"

Next, Zhao Peng pointed to a light yellow glass screen behind him and said, "The transparent glass screen starts at 1,500 taels."

The light yellow screen was lifted onto the table. Everyone looked at the screen and saw that the screen was about five feet long and two feet wide. In addition to the red sandalwood frame outside, the entire screen was made of light yellow transparent glass. There was also a painting on the screen, which looked like a copy of Tang Bohu's picture of the hierarchy.

Not to mention anything else, just such a large piece of transparent glass is probably worth a lot. Although this piece of transparent glass is not so transparent, you can't see the other side from one side, but just such a large piece is worth a lot. At this time, Zhao Peng asked someone to light a candle behind the screen.

The light shone through the screen. The people sitting in the hall watched curiously as the screen lighted up. The light shone through the screen, emitting a light yellow light, and the paintings of Tang Bohu copied on the screen became more and more dazzling.

"Three thousand taels!" The first bid was Chang Yanling, who doubled the price in one go.

Tang Guozuo, the Marquis of Lingbi in the audience, whispered with his family, and one of the family members said: "This thing is worth a lot of money, we can't get three thousand taels of cheaper than the boy named Chang. This thing is worth at least ten thousand taels of silver."

So, the Tang family shouted out the price of 5,000 taels of silver and raised the sign.

When Chang Yanling heard someone snatched him, he immediately raised the price to 7,000 taels.

Tang Guozuo was not willing to be outdone, and raised the price to 9,000 taels of silver. Chang Yanling refused to give in and directly shouted 12,000 taels.

Princess Kunxing, hiding in the backstage, was overjoyed: This item cost only more than ten taels of silver, and the most valuable thing was the copying paintings. Someone actually offered to 12,000 taels. This business is so easy to make money.

But this was not over yet, Tang Guozuo refused to give in at all, and raised the price to 15,000 taels of silver!

When Chang Yanling saw that Lingbi Hou had fought with him endlessly, he made up his mind and shouted out a horrifying number: "Twenty thousand taels of silver!"

Tang Guozuo did not dare to fight for it now, so he had to shut up honestly.

"Twenty thousand taels for the first time, twenty thousand taels for the second time, twenty thousand taels for the third time! The deal!" Wang Xin knocked on with a heavy hammer.

Chang Yanling turned around and whispered a few words to the follower who followed him. After a while, two servants from the Chang Mansion carried in a big box from outside and opened it. The box was full of yellow and white.

Two Jinyiwei came up to count the money and stuff in the box, counted it, and there were a total of 1,500 taels of gold and 5,000 taels of silver. Then Jinyiwei shut the box and carried it to the back of the table: "Your Highness, here is 20,000 taels of silver."

Zhao Peng asked someone to lift the screen off the table and hand it to Chang Yanling's hand: "Congratulations to Huaiyuanhou for taking this treasure."

Han Zanzhou also stood up and congratulated Chang Yanling: "Congratulations to Huaiyuanhou!"

Zhao Peng asked Chang Yanling to return to his seat first to prepare, then picked up the iron horn on the table, opened his voice and shouted: "Dear guests, today's climax is coming, please look at the back."

Everyone followed the direction of Zhao Peng's finger and looked behind him. They saw an object covered with red silk cloth on the platform. The object was about six feet high and three feet wide. As the two Jinyiwei lifted the silk cloth, everyone was shocked: this was a very large transparent silver mirror!

"Hmph, Brother Zhao dared to lie to me and the Emperor. He clearly had a bigger mirror on his hand, but he said that the two smaller ones were the only rare treasures! Instead, he took out the biggest one and sold it! Let's see how I will deal with you for a while!" Princess Kunxing cursed in her heart.

Zhao Peng, who was standing on the stage, opened his voice and shouted loudly: "This is the last treasure at today's auction. This is a rare treasure made by Taixi Yidaili Kingdom. The only one in the world is the starting price of 5,000 taels of silver."

People looked towards the transparent glass silver mirror, and saw that the silver mirror was six feet long and more than two feet wide. It was placed in a huge frame. The frame was made of sandalwood, and various exquisite beads were inlaid on the frame. There seemed to be a light source in the frame. As long as the light behind the mirror is lit, soft lights will shine on the mirror on both sides of the frame and above the frame.

If the transparent glass screen just now is already a rare treasure, then this huge transparent glass mirror is a stunning treasure. The starting price is 5,000 taels of silver, and the bidders in the audience are silently estimating the value in their hearts.

"This baby will cost at least 20,000 taels of silver, right?" Chang Yanling turned around and said to the butler.

"It's more than 20,000 taels, this is a silver mirror! Just now, you bought 20,000 taels of screen, a Marquis," said the housekeeper.

Someone has already started raising bids in the auction house: "Six thousand taels!"

Chang Yanling immediately jumped out: "Seven thousand taels!"

Tang Guozuo immediately added the price: "Eight thousand taels!"

"Ten thousand taels!" Of course, Chang Yanling raised the price without allowing him to raise the price.

Tang Guozuo shouted unwillingly: "Ten thousand two thousand taels!"

"Ten thousand taels!" Chang Yanling became anxious.

Tang Guozuo immediately raised the sign: "Twenty thousand taels!"

Chang Yanling would not give this stunning treasure to others: "Twenty-five thousand taels!"

"Master, the cash bank in our mansion is probably not enough." The housekeeper reminded. Although the Chang Mansion has money, the cash bank that can be used at any time is only about 50,000 to 60,000 taels. Most of the property is either a land or a shop, as well as some of the shares of merchants, as well as various rare treasures in the family. Just now, 23,000 taels were spent at the auction. If the remaining silver was bought, the daily expenses in the mansion would not be that much money.

"It seems like you can spend a loan." Chang Yanling said, raising the sign.

But this time, Tang Guozuo seemed unwilling to give up and raised the sign: "Thirty thousand taels!"

Chang Yanling was angry: "Forty thousand taels!"

Now no one snatched it anymore, and the field was silent. Wang Xin shouted: "Forty thousand taels for the first time, forty thousand taels for the second time, forty thousand taels for the third time! The deal was made!"
Chapter completed!
