"Dragon and phoenix gold inlaid with jade, three thousand four hundred taels, are there any bidders?"

"This is the handiwork of Master Sun Shou. If you miss it, it will be lost. Everyone can see that the simplicity of this carving is simply ingenious."

The auctioneer shouted vigorously, highlighting the value for money of this lot.

However, there were no more bids in the audience, and Yu Wenbao on the second floor stopped talking. Obviously, the price was beyond his tolerance.

A pair of jade carvings cost more than 3,000 taels, which is really too expensive. Even if they were made by Sun Shou, they are not worth it in the eyes of many people.

The last person on the court to bid was Elder Changsun.

At this time, in the private room on the third floor, Minister Zuo of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was accompanying him and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Elder Changsun for taking this treasure!"

Grand Elder Changsun also smiled happily and returned the same gift.

"Dragon and phoenix gold inlaid with jade, first time!!!"

The auctioneer shouted in a high-pitched voice while looking down, trying to see if anyone else would bid again. After all, the higher the price, the higher his commission.

"Dragon and Phoenix inlaid with jade, the second time!!!"

"No one bids more, this dragon and phoenix gold inlaid with jade will belong to the guests on the third floor!"

"Dragon and Phoenix..."

"Four thousand taels!"

Just as the auctioneer was about to call out the final price, a voice suddenly came from the private room at the corner of the second floor, raising the price by six hundred taels and calling out a price of four thousand taels.

As soon as the price came out, the whole audience was in an uproar, and they all looked at the corner box on the second floor where the price was being announced.

"Who is this, actually shouting four thousand taels?"

"Who knows, those who can be in the box are all of high status, and we are not able to compare!"

"Maybe this person likes this thing?"

"When bidding on the third floor, it seems that this person must be from a big family. Otherwise, according to the rules of Yanlai Tower, the person on the third floor would be a third-grade official or above!"

"It's very possible, otherwise who would have the guts to ask for the price!"

In the box on the third floor, Elder Changsun, who had just received the congratulations, looked a little ugly. Unexpectedly, someone jumped out to compete with him at the last moment, which really made him feel embarrassed.

On the side, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs also had an unkind look on his face. He invited Elder Changsun to come here just to curry favor and ask him to say a few good words in front of Changsun Wuji. He has always been attached to Changsun Wuji.

But this time it was time for him to be promoted, and he wanted to ask Changsun Wuji to help him, and that's what happened today.

Although the price was announced by Elder Changsun, he would not be asked to pay in the end. Instead, he would pay for it. Three thousand, four hundred taels was already painful for him. Four thousand taels was just cutting off his flesh. He didn't hate it.

The one who bids is a ghost.

But no matter how painful it is, he can't lose the face of the elder Changsun. After all, if he wants to be promoted, he has to rely on others to put in a good word.

"Great Elder, this is a rare thing. Four thousand taels are not much. If you like it, you can get it in one fell swoop!" Zuo Shilang, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, said with blood dripping from his heart.

After hearing this, Elder Changsun smiled and felt much more comfortable, and his eyes towards Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs also became much more pleasing to the eye.

"No, I accept your kindness. I can still afford this amount of money!" Elder Changsun said politely.

At this time, the auctioneer below was laughing so hard that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear. For an extra six hundred taels, he could get thirty more taels, which was not a small amount of money for him.

"Is there anyone who bids? Four thousand taels. Four thousand taels is not high. Things are rare and valuable. There is only this pair of dragons and phoenixes inlaid with gold and jade in the world!" The auctioneer looked towards the third floor and shouted in greeting.

, now only the third floor can be bid, so naturally we have to pay more attention to it.

"Don't you want four thousand taels yet? It's the first time for four thousand taels!"

"Four thousand five hundred taels!"

Before the auctioneer could call out for the second time, Elder Changsun raised the price by five hundred taels. If he wanted to win with momentum, a few thousand taels of silver was really nothing to him.

Only then is it valuable.

On the side, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs felt his heart twitch. Five hundred taels was enough for him to marry two concubines, but what could he do? He could only pray that the ungrateful person downstairs would not be killed.

If he yells again, he will be ruined today.

However, things went against expectations. Just after Elder Changsun finished speaking, the price call came from the second floor again.

"Five thousand taels!"

This price call shocked the whole audience, and everyone was in an uproar again. They all speculated who was in the box on the second floor. He was so rich that he raised the price by another five hundred taels. Could it be that there is some secret to this dragon and phoenix gold inlaid with jade?

?

Elder Changsun frowned slightly, obviously angry. At this time, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs did not dare to speak. Five thousand taels was obviously not the final price. Even now, he had to sell the things before he could take them out. If he asked again

, he couldn't afford it at all.

Thinking that his promotion would be ruined, the left servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs wanted to stab the person who was bidding in the box on the second floor.

In the private room on the second floor, Luo Zhang was drinking tea prepared by Zhao Tianhu and looking towards the third floor with a smile on his face.

Nowadays, in order to protect the privacy of guests, each box is hung with a second layer of curtains. It is impossible to see who is in the box from the outside, but inside the box, the situation outside can be clearly seen through the light.

And while Luo Zhang was waiting for Elder Changsun to bid, the system prompt in his mind rang.

"Hate value from Wei Hongyi +1000"

"From..."

Luo Zhang was slightly startled when he heard the long-lost notification sound. Wei Hongyi? If I remember correctly, it should be the Minister Zuo of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Unexpectedly, this guy is also here. It seems that this guy is paying the bill this time?

Luo Zhang asked Zhao Tianhu on the side and found out that it was really Wei Hongyi in the box, and couldn't help but laugh.
