After arranging everything, Yuan Fang walked into the square with a group of merchants, and before he went far, he was stopped by several gold-armored warriors and watched from afar. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the Xuanzheng Palace, Yang Xing stood with his back to the door, and a group of little eunuchs bowed down and stood on both sides, among them, Xiao Chuanzi and another little eunuch stood in the middle of the main hall, bending over as if to say something again, as if the argument was very fierce, at this time, Guan Xiaoyun, who was wearing a prince's uniform, suddenly turned around, pointing to the two little eunuchs who played the minister's "scolding", that momentum, even Yuan Fang and others who were watching from a distance seemed to be immersed, and some timid people couldn't help but take a few steps back.
didn't stay long, about less than ten minutes, Yuan Fang went back with the sweaty people, and when everyone left the square in front of the Xuanzheng Palace, everyone couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, obviously they were scared just now.
Yuan Fang pretended to calm down, and said loudly: "Everyone, everyone has seen the majesty of His Highness, and the time is about the same, let's go to the meal, take a break, in the afternoon, the auction will be held in the Xuanwu Palace, please get ready." ”
Then, without saying anything, he took a group of merchants and their families to a barracks near the Xuanwu Hall to rest and eat, and Yuan Fang found Yu Fengjiao and asked, "How is it?" Ready to get started? ”
Yu Fengjiao glanced at Yuan Fang angrily, and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother-in-law, these people are all bastards, I knew that I would never wade into this troubled water." ”
Of course, Yuan Fang knew why Yu Fengjiao was angry, and said with a smile: "It's not because you're too beautiful, sister, if you look like me, it is estimated that no one will peek at you." ”
Yu Fengjiao smiled and said a little shyly: "I'm really beautiful? Yuan Fang nodded vigorously, and gave Sang Rou and Jieyue beside him a wink.
Sang Rou and Jieyue grabbed Yu Fengjiao's arm for a while of praise and praise, and the resentment in Yu Fengjiao's heart was swept away, and she said with a smile: "It's all ready, but brother-in-law, just such an ordinary badge is priced at five thousand taels of silver, isn't it too expensive, can anyone buy it?" ”
Yuan Fang confidently said: "I wasn't sure before, but now I'm pretty sure that someone will definitely buy it, so I changed the price tag to 8,000 taels of silver." ”
Yu Fengjiao's face was full of consternation: "Eight thousand taels? No way? Brother-in-law, don't be a joke. ”
Yuan Fang waved his hand and said, "I'm not kidding, you just wait to watch the show in the afternoon." ”
Although Yu Fengjiao didn't believe that someone would be so stupid and buy something worth less than one tael of silver with eight thousand taels, but since Yuan Fang said so, she had no choice but to do it, and she also had some expectations. The auction was held as scheduled, but Yuan Fang did not participate in it, and handed it over to Wei Chigang to preside over, because he had already had several experiences and knew how to incite everyone's enthusiasm.
In one afternoon, Yuan Fang stayed in the small garden near Hongwudian, drinking tea and chatting with Xiaomei and Sang Rou, Yu Fengjiao was no more, her task was to be responsible for the security of the auction and maintaining order.
Time passed little by little, Xiaomei was a little anxious, most of the time of the day had passed, and she hadn't received a tael of silver, and she was still far from her previous goal. Yuan Fang found someone to get a hammock and lay on it leisurely eating melon seeds, without any sense of being in a hurry.
Xiaomei couldn't help but ask: "Brother, it's been so long, why hasn't it ended over there?" Something can't be wrong, right? ”
Yuan Fang's tone was relaxed, and he comforted: "Don't worry, the longer the better." ”
Sang Rou threw the watermelon rind in her hand in the trash, wiped her hands and asked puzzledly, "Why?" ”
Yuan Fang explained with a smile: "Do you still need to ask? Of course, it is the fierce competition that will delay time, and if no one wants those things, it will be done long ago. ”
Yuyue nodded suddenly: "That is to say, the more fierce the competition, the more silver will be auctioned." ”
Yuan Fang nodded: "That's right, that's the truth." ”
Sang Rou was dissatisfied and said: "Oh, brother-in-law, you have thrown the melon seed skin outside, such a good place has been soiled by you, it is really a bad scenery." ”
Xiaomei smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll sweep it later." ”
Yuyue snickered and said, "Now Guan Xiaoyun's kid is going to cry." ”
Sang Rou wondered and asked, "What does this have to do with Guan Xiaoyun?" ”
Jieyue pointed to the crumpled clothes on Yuan Fang's body, Sang Rou suddenly realized, covered her mouth and snickered and said: "Xiaoyun, that kid likes this set of clothes quite a lot, he usually doesn't want to wear it, and hangs it in the room like a treasure, if he sees his baby become like this, I really don't know what his expression will be." ”
Yuzuki said with a smile: "What other expressions can there be, with his character, he will definitely turn his face with his brother-in-law." ”
Xiaomei was surprised and said, "Won't it?" Turning your face with your brother for a piece of clothing? ”
Sang Rou nodded vigorously: "Xiaomei, don't you know, Guan Xiaoyun's kid is a little wooden, or a little bit of a problem with his head, let me tell you, didn't a batch of new military uniforms be issued when I was in Dingbian City, Dongzhou, this kid actually used that as an insoles, seeing that we all had him, he also asked His Highness to complain, and then that kid knew what that thing was for, but this kid not only didn't blush at all, but also said that since everyone has it, it can't be missing his share, and in the end, he really used that thing as an insole." ”
Xiaomei was surprised and said, "No." ”
Yuyue continued: "Also, when the summer clothes were distributed, didn't our female soldiers also distribute two sets of underwear, and this kid also picked out the two largest bandeau and left in front of us." ”
Xiaomei's face was full of disbelief: "Baneau, what does he want that for?" ”
Yuzuki snickered, "At that time, he said that he was going to use that thing to pack dry food. ”
Xiaomei was puzzled and asked, "Dry food?" ”
Sang Rou reminded: "In the past, most of our dry food was mainly wotou. Saying that, after a few strokes on her chest, Xiaomei suddenly understood what Sang Rou meant, her face was flushed with shame, she secretly glanced at Yuan Fang lying in the hammock, and asked in a low voice: "He can really think of it, but later, he really did that?" ”
Yuyue shrugged: "Who knows, it didn't take long for us to enter the palace, and the two of us have been following my brother-in-law, by the way, wait for a chance to ask Xia Yi about them, they should know." ”
Yuan Fang, who was lying in the hammock and pretending to sleep, suddenly said, "Don't ask Xia Yi, I know." ”
Sang Rou, Yuyue and Xiao Mei all looked at Yuan Fang together, their eyes full of curiosity and anticipation. Yuan Fang sat up, patted off the skin of the melon seeds on his body, and said with a smile: "Didn't you pay attention just now, the money bag that kid took when he came to check out was white." ”
