Rice Fields in the Red Chamber

The clerk laughed, obviously disdainful of this question, "It's just some unsightly means, designed to attract you ignorant people, it's very low-level, so don't take it to heart."

"Is Master Shi planning to participate in that little auction?" Another person asked seriously.

The stone member snorted softly, "Master, I don't need to take a ticket for that Lao Shizi." His expression was extremely smug.

As soon as everyone heard it, it was immediately clear that this person must have received the auction tickets, otherwise why would he not want to try to take a few tickets?

Shi Yuanwai's family is extremely wealthy, and he has private friendship with many powerful families in the south of the Yangtze River, and even some high-ranking people in the south of the Yangtze River.Simply put, it is someone's pocketbook.Those people wanted to participate in the Wanbao Auction, how could they do it without bringing a few money bags with them?

It's not that those people can't afford a few pieces of glass products. After all, their families have lasted for several generations, and the accumulation of them is unimaginable for ordinary people. However, if someone is willing to pay for them, no one will refuse.Especially those officials in the south of the Yangtze River need more money bags. After all, on the surface, their salaries are only so much.

Where are people like them who want to post it upside down and use it as a money bag for others, no one wants it.

For a while, Shi Yuanwai received several envious and jealous looks, and his whole body was almost in a trance.

As for the day when the "Wanbao Auction" was held, the fact that they vaguely saw Shi Yuanwai's figure at the venue is another story.

…………

In order not to be discovered that he was inextricably linked to this auction, when Qi Hui asked him where the auction venue should be set, Lin Mo set the auction of tickets in Jinling, while Wanbao Auction The meeting was placed in Yangzhou City by him.

After all, he is an official now, and there are express regulations that officials cannot do business. It doesn't matter whether everyone knows whether these properties belong to him in private, as long as they don't be put on the surface.

That's what everyone is doing anyway, so of course he has to do as the Romans do.

Lin and Yun, who recently returned to Suzhou to worship their ancestors, and brought along a high-ranking Prince Zhaorui, naturally all received tickets for the so-called auction. According to legend, Prince Zhaorui loves glass objects very much. Naturally, he had to take the two families who had the best relationship with him to Yangzhou City.

Coincidentally, Lin Moben wanted to take Daiyu out to have a look. Taking this opportunity, he asked Princess Deyang to take his sister to Yangzhou.

The shackles of the girls in the Great Jin Dynasty were not as strict as those of the previous dynasties, and because there were many businessmen from overseas countries in the Jiangnan area, as long as they were well prepared and protected, the girls could also walk around in the streets. .

Even some girls from poor families will come out to start a small business to supplement their family income due to their livelihood.

Therefore, Lin Daiyu, with a light veil tied on her face, was not conspicuous under the urging of a group of maids and guards.

Seeing Lin Daiyu looking around curiously, who obviously liked some gadgets sold on the street, Lin Mo deeply felt that he had made the right move.Simply, seeing Daiyu so happy, a thought came to him.

"Sister, would you like to see the grand occasion of the Wanbao Auction?"

Daiyu was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Can I go too?" Her eyes were full of expectation.

"Of course it is possible. Our tickets are of the highest class. It is a private room. After entering and closing the door, who will know who is in the private room?"

When Daiyu saw her elder brother saying this, she seemed to be overjoyed, she kept nodding her head, and her big eyes hidden under the gauze hat had already started to smile.

…………

The auction venue chosen by Wanbao Auction House for this auction was sponsored by the famous "Drunken Immortal Tower" in Jiangnan. Zuixianlou" should also give them face in this way.

After this incident, people who don't know the inside story have a new understanding of the wealth and status of Wanbao Auction House.

Another one that can't be messed with.

When Qi Hui sent out the auction tickets that day, he divided the tickets into three classes, from low to high, namely third, second, first, and third class, which were distinguished by three different colors.

The third-class ticket is white, and you can only bring one accompanying person. The second-class ticket is blue, and you can bring two people. The first-class ticket is the highest, and it is actually dark purple. Looking at it, I thought it was black.

This purple ticket can bring at least six accompanying people.

When sending tickets, each class of tickets naturally has its own destination.

It is worth mentioning that no matter which level the tickets are, they are all anonymous and transferable.

As the real boss behind Wanbao Auction House and Zuixianlou, Lin Mo naturally got the highest level of tickets.

This is the most luxurious top-level private room in Zuixianlou. It is located on the third floor. On weekdays, ordinary people can't get there.

In Zuixianlou, there are only nine such private rooms, and nine is the extreme number, which means that ninety-nine return to one.Except for Lin Mo, the big boss behind the scenes, who took the best one, among the other eight private rooms, one was reserved for the family of Lord Wuchang, and the rest was left for someone, except for those who got purple. Other than the ticket holders, only Qi Hui knew about it.

In order to maintain the mystery of the auction, Lin Mo also asked someone to open a special passage for them. Instead of entering through the gate of "Zuixian Building" with other people, Lin Mo directly had a special passage to enter their respective private rooms.

It can be said that the preparation is very sufficient.

His move won unanimous praise from everyone in the private room on the third floor.They are the people who understand the so-called truth of not revealing money best.

These people are very precious to their own lives.

At that time, Lin Mo also made a very constructive suggestion. Everyone who enters the auction can, at the entrance, receive a mask kindly provided by the organizer on a voluntary basis to hide their real face .

Qi Hui complied.

At the beginning, not many people received this mask, but later, I don't know if they figured out something, the mask that Qi Hui asked to prepare was almost robbed.

As soon as he entered their private room, Lin Mo noticed that these people were wearing various masks on their faces, and he and the others around him were also wearing a mask.

Except for people who are very familiar, under such circumstances, it is really difficult to recognize which of these people is which.

Nodding in satisfaction, Lin Mo and his party were led into their private room by Qi Hui himself.

After learning that Princess Deyang and the eldest daughter of the Lin family would also attend the auction together, Qi Hui very discerningly separated a small private room in the private room for the two hostesses and the things they brought. The place where maids and women stay.

From the arrangement of these details, we can see Qi Hui's ability.

Tu Qian was quite moved, "Ah Mo has countless talented people, I have seen it today."

Hungry!

Lin Mo smiled and said, "Isn't that right? It took me many years to adjust and teach these things, and each of them can stand alone."

Tu Qian was really full of envy. The people who could appear next to Lin Mo all had amazing abilities.

Not to mention Qi Hui in front of him, just the two young men beside Lin Mo, they are not comparable to ordinary people.

"Listen to my advice, these people around Ah Mo, don't let the emperor see them. If you let the emperor know their abilities, he will have the cheek to ask you for someone. When the time comes, will you No?"

Lin Mo was silent. This is indeed a big problem. After so many days of contact, Lin Mo can see that he is an emperor with lofty ambitions and is also extremely capable.

For such an emperor, if he meets someone with extraordinary abilities who can help him realize his ambition and hegemony, can he not pull him into his arms?

Lin Mo expressed doubts.

However, even if he knew that there would be such a consequence, Lin Mo could only admit it with a pinch of his nose. Without him, he couldn't have hidden all the talents he had cultivated so hard because of something that hadn't happened yet, right?

"Thank you, my lord, for reminding me, I can save it."

He said so, but both of them knew what the future trajectory of this matter would be.

What can you do in the face of an emperor who is thirsty for talents?

The more Lin Mo thought about it, the more he frowned. Perhaps, he should try to set up a comprehensive school?In this way, he can also cultivate a few more talents like this, right?

Tu Qian's attention was always on Lin Mo, and when he saw his expression, he knew that he must have fallen into another thought.

So I ignored him, just holding a tall glass, half poured into it, the wine that made "Zuixianlou" famous in the south of the Yangtze River, walked to the window facing the lobby on the first floor of "Zuixianlou" in the private room Side, look down.

Take a sip of the wine in the glass from time to time, don't be too comfortable.

People who came to participate in the auction walked into the lobby in twos and threes, found seats that matched their tickets and sat down.

After settling himself down, he raised his head and looked around.

It's just that everyone who enters the venue wears a mask on their face, and no one can tell who is who, and it's unrealistic to go up and chat with them, so they can only chat with the people who came with them from time to time sentence.

Thinking about the number of people allowed to enter the tickets, and looking at the people who had already entered the auction venue, Prince Zhaorui nodded silently. These people are quite safe.

However, as soon as he thought of this, Tu Qian's face was swollen.

Today, there is a lot of traffic in front of Zuixianlou, and people come and go.

In addition to those who have tickets and can directly enter the venue, there are also many curious people who gather outside the "Zuixian Tower" and watch, wanting to see with their own eyes the auction that almost shocked the entire Jiangnan. what kind.

The shopkeeper and the waiter of "Zuixian Tower" were all so busy that they never touched the ground.

Qi Hui also had the foresight to invite many part-time workers from outside to help, but he was still so busy that he didn't even have time to drink saliva.

At this time, a team of about a dozen people stopped in front of the "Drunken Immortal Building".

It was actually a few young men dressed as servants of rich and noble families, clustered around an extremely luxurious carriage, surrounding the carriage like a moon surrounded by stars.

After the carriage came to a complete stop, a servant ran forward, knelt and climbed on the edge of the shaft, ready to serve as a footstool for the people in the carriage.

At this time, the curtain of the car was lifted, and a young man who was not tall, whose waist was almost equal to his height, and with big ears, appeared in front of everyone.

Tu Qian gave a light snort.

"Who is that person?" Lin Mo who didn't know when came over asked curiously.

Tu Qian said: "Wu Guifei's younger brother, Wu Neng."

"..." Because he was too surprised, Lin Mo blurted out: "It's not the same mother!"

"……how do you know?"

Lin Mo: ...
