At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

"Today's first auction item is a top-quality perfume made by a top perfume maker in Dai County. It is extracted from rose essence and purified using ancient methods. It has a fragrant scent and can calm the mind and nourish the skin..."

When Hongyu introduced the first auction item of today.

The maid behind him immediately lifted the red cloth on the tray, revealing a glass bottle filled with red liquid.

The eyes of many guests lit up the moment they saw the red bottle of perfume.

"The starting price for this first bottle of rose perfume is 10,000 taels of silver!"

After Hongyu introduced the first auction item, she immediately announced the start of bidding.

Immediately afterwards, shouts rang out one after another throughout the auction hall.

"I'll pay 15,000 taels of silver!"

"Twenty thousand taels!"

"Twenty-three thousand taels!"

"..."

In just a few breaths, at least one-third of the guests in the auction hall called out their prices.

Among this one-third of guests, almost the vast majority are women.

In the first row of the auction hall, Xia Yun looked at the fierce bidding scene, and a rare look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

No wonder Qin Shun was able to make a profit of 2.76 million taels of silver by running the Fenglai Inn in just over two months.

Apparently this is why!

These masters in the capital city are not short of money. What they lack is that unique sense of superiority.

It just so happens that these luxury goods produced in Dai County can meet their unique needs.

"Fifty thousand taels of silver!"

After a round of competition, the previously heated bidding scene suddenly quieted down as a woman wearing fox fur and mink shouted out a price of 50,000 taels of silver.

"Fifty thousand taels at a time!"

"Fifty thousand taels twice!"

"Fifty-two thousand three times!"

"Congratulations to this lady for successfully winning the first auction item!"

When others completely gave up bidding, the auction hammer in Hongyu's hand fell one after another.

The first auction item has officially been found.

"The following is the second auction item tonight, the Alluring Lipstick, which is also a top-grade pink color extracted from rose essence. Just a light touch can make your personal temperament glow..."

Ruby continued to speak.

Then, another person walked up to the auction table carrying a maid's tray.

In full view of everyone, the red cloth was lifted, revealing the true appearance of the alluring lipstick.

There was a climax in the auction hall immediately.

As the luxury item that best reflects personal characteristics, lipstick, a seemingly unorthodox item, attracted countless people as soon as it appeared in the capital.

In the past few months, many businesses have even appeared in Beijing and started to imitate and produce lipsticks on a large scale.

However, in terms of quality and fame, it is far from comparable to Fenglai Pavilion.

"The second auction item is the Alluring Lipstick. The starting price is 15,200 silver coins!"

Hongyu officially announced the start of bidding for the second auction item.

"Twenty thousand taels of silver!"

"Twenty-three thousand taels!"

"Twenty-five thousand taels!"

"..."

This round of bidding entered a fierce state from the very beginning.

The number of people participating in the bidding was nearly double that of the first round of auctions.

In the second row of the auction hall, the barbarian woman looked at the lipstick on the auction table with a look of extreme curiosity in her eyes.

The man named Xiao standing nearby saw what was going on and immediately understood.

"Fifty thousand taels of silver!"

As soon as the man surnamed Xiao opened his mouth, he called out a pretty good price.

"Mr. Xiao, you are really amazing."

The barbarian woman was also quite surprised, and there was a look of disbelief in her eyes when she looked at the man surnamed Xiao.

Fifty thousand taels of silver could buy a lot of cattle and sheep in her hometown.

"As long as Miss Weiwei is happy, this little money is nothing."

The man surnamed Xiao smiled happily. He really enjoyed the look the other person gave him.

But it was at this time.

Soon, another bidding sound was heard at the scene.

"Fifty-five thousand taels."

The voice was very calm and also came from the second row of the auction hall. It was a woman wearing a black veil, making it impossible to see her true face.

"Sixty thousand taels!"

The man surnamed Xiao gritted his teeth secretly. He originally thought that he would be able to buy the Qingcheng lipstick with a price of 50,000 taels, but he didn't expect that someone would be so close to it.

"Sixty-five thousand taels."

After a moment, the woman with the black veil spoke again.

"Seventy thousand taels!"

The man surnamed Xiao gritted his teeth again.

The barbarian woman was watching at this moment, and he would never allow anyone to steal his limelight.

Finally, after the man surnamed Xiao called out a bidding price as high as 70,000 taels of silver, the woman wearing a black veil gave up.

However, beneath its calm black veil, there seemed to be no emotional fluctuations at all.

"Seventy thousand taels for once!"

"Seventy thousand taels twice!"

"Seventy-two thousand three times!"

"Congratulations to this gentleman for successfully winning this round of auction items!"

Hongyu made the final decision at the auction table with an exceptionally charming smile on her face.

As the auctioneer, she would naturally be happy if the auction items were sold at a higher price.

"Mr. Xiao, thank you."

At this moment, the barbarian woman smiled like a flower and looked even more seductive.

The man named Xiao, who felt a little painful inside, was immediately aroused when he saw the smile of the barbarian woman.

"Miss Weiwei, what are you talking about? As long as you like it, I will buy the entire Fenglai Pavilion for you, and I will do it for you."

The man surnamed Xiao started bragging again.

The barbarian woman burst into laughter when she heard this, and her laughter reached Xia Yun's ears in the first row.

At this time, Xia Yun's eyes were still fixed on the auction table.

He remembered the lipstick on the auction table. It was not a luxury product made by a master, but was clearly produced on the assembly line in Dai County.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as he wants, he can produce as much of this thing as he wants.

As for the man named Xiao who spent 70,000 taels of silver to buy the lipstick, Xia Yun actually wished there were more people like him.

In this way, he can make more money!

……

As time slowly passed, high-end luxury goods appeared at auctions one after another.

Every bidding process will cause a climax in the auction hall.

For the guests who attended the auction, they really enjoyed the feeling of spending money like water.

But to Xia Yun, this process seemed a bit boring.

After all, in his eyes, those so-called high-end luxury goods are nothing more than handicrafts with marketing hype.

Just as Xia Yun was wondering whether to leave the auction venue early.

An item that suddenly appeared on the auction table caught his attention.

It was a blue gem that exuded an extremely lustrous luster and looked to be at least as big as a pigeon egg.

Xia Yun then shifted his attention to Qin Shun who was standing nearby.

“Sir, this is an emerald sapphire that Fenglai Pavilion received from a merchant from the Nanyang Beni Kingdom.

Qin Shun understood what he meant and explained immediately.

After he finished speaking, Qin Shun instructed his attendant: "Notify the auction manager to cancel the auction of the emerald sapphire immediately."
