Chapter 158 Charity auction

Building a bridge and paving the road is a great charity, and the name will be engraved on the stone tablet at the head of the bridge. Fifteen days later, the charity sale began. What Wang Wen did not expect was that in addition to wealthy businessmen and officials, almost everyone in Lin'an Mansion participated in the charity sale.

All the fans of the famous ladies in Huajie and Liuxiang were present, and several businessmen were secretly looking at them. This time they could take advantage of this unprecedented auction to take a closer look at the famous brothels in Lin'an Prefecture that they usually have no chance to come into contact with.

Top celebrities, let's see if we can get their favors. Why are there so many celebrities participating? Firstly, men are willing to spend money on them, and their money is easy to come by; secondly, there are trendy and handsome guys to watch; thirdly, they come to them

They believe that good and evil will be repaid, and charity auctions will bring them blessings. If they do more good deeds, they will be able to escape the status of a prostitute in the next life and be reborn as a man in a wealthy family.

The charity sale and the performance were carried out alternately. The first round was for a hundred ordinary boneless lanterns. Each lantern was priced at three taels of silver. It said, "Three taels of silver for a hundred bridge stones, and the winner will have a name carved on one stone." In other words, the price of each lantern is three taels of silver.

The winner can carve a hundred names on the paving stone. Only by donating a paving stone and trampling on it for others can he atone for his sins. This was one of the customs in the Song Dynasty and has been passed down to modern times. Lu Xun's Xianglin

There is a description in the aunt's story of donating the threshold for others to trample on and atone for one's sins. The slogan won the hearts of prostitutes and ladies, and soon, the hundred boneless lanterns were sold out. The second round was ninety high-end boneless lanterns.

Each lamp was quoted at five taels of silver. The slogan read, "For five taels of silver, a stone will be carved on the stone beside the bridge. One name will be carved on each stone for the winner. The stone carved beside the bridge will become famous. Ten scribes who are good at calligraphy will hold pens and ink on the side and ask questions."

After clearing the name, write the buyer's name on a three-foot piece of rice paper on the spot.

The last one is a group of lanterns. The first group of three lanterns shows the sworn relationship between Liu, Guan and Zhang. The second group of three lanterns shows the three immortals of fortune, wealth and longevity. The third group of four lanterns shows the four gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.

Shopkeeper Liu patted Wang Wen on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, these groups are based on our idea yesterday. The last three groups of lamps are no longer explicitly priced. Instead, the wealthy businessmen present will take turns to quote the price.

The higher one gets it, how about it?"

Wang Wen thought for a while and felt that this idea was very novel. It can be used as a business, and it is important to clearly state the actual price, and no one can be deceived. Doesn't it violate the principles of business to not mark the price and let everyone report the price by themselves? But this is not the case.

The money from the charity sale was used to build the bridge, which was a good deed. It was different from ordinary commodity sales, and it seemed that it could not be measured by ordinary transactions.

Shopkeeper Liu saw that Wang Wen was a little moved, and then said: "We just met by chance and accomplished this. Not a single copper coin from the sale went into our pockets. Instead, we poured money into it to gain a good reputation.

Your lamps are thrown down on my porch by hundreds or even thousands of real money."

Wang Wen thought for a while and replied: "Listen to your brother's instructions, let's give it a try. The quotation starts from ten taels of silver, and the price is increased by one tael each time. The gong is used as a signal. If no one increases the price after three sounds, the gong will set the tone and the price will be determined."

Whoever is taller gets it?"

Shopkeeper Liu laughed and said, "I'll bid the price, and you'll beat the gong to set the tone. How about that?"

After Wang Wen nodded in agreement, Shopkeeper Liu began to summon everyone and announced the rules to them: "Everyone, we will sell the last four boneless lanterns to the highest bidder. The winner will erect four stone tablets at the head of the bridge.

, each of our four Lin'an officials wrote a bridge-building story on each tablet, and the name of the winner was engraved on the tablet, and together with the bridge, it will be immortal through the ages."

Ask celebrities to write notes and stand them at the bridge. The four celebrities usually pay a lot of money for polishing their pens. Each time they remember more than a hundred taels of silver. The first set of lamps started to be auctioned at 10 taels of silver, and shopkeeper Chen immediately quoted a price of 120 taels.

The other shopkeepers murmured in low voices, as if they were shocked. They didn't play like this. The price suddenly increased more than ten times.

"Is there anyone who offers a higher price? I can't beat the gong? Is there, is there?" Just after three words, Wang Wen's hammer fell with a bang, and the boneless lantern was sold. Shopkeeper Chen was delighted.

Di held the lantern and said, "Brothers working together can cut through gold. I like this sentence." After saying that, he paid the silver and left with the lantern, discussing with the scribe how to write this note.

Good luck, wealth and longevity, everyone wants this lamp. Shopkeeper Chen praised it very well. Their restaurant’s business is very good because they hung up a Four Seasons Prosperity lamp a few days ago. After this lamp came out, the auction price quickly exceeded

Two hundred taels.

An old man coughed and quoted: "Cough, cough, I'll give two hundred and one taels."

When the price reaches this level, people always add ten taels to the price. What do you mean by adding one tael? Several shopkeepers looked at him angrily. Upon seeing it, they were immediately frightened and became speechless. It turned out that,

This is the master of the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture. The people do not argue with the officials. At the signal of shopkeeper Liu, Wang Wen rang the gong again.

The auction paused for a while, and Bai Shuangfei came out and performed her stunts during the tide that day. She jumped down from a three-story high platform, and soared in the sky with her fluttering dress and flying ribbons, as fluttering as Dunhuang.

It flew into the sky. It stayed in the air for a while and then landed in the water.

Dressed in the Dunhuang Flying Dance, I was shocked to see the immortals coming from the sky! After the cheers, the charity auction continued.

As soon as the bidding started, a voice was heard saying: "Two hundred taels, we want it." The one calling the price was Dong Jinshi, the leader of the four scribes. He shouted on behalf of the other three scribes. I remember they moved to build the bridge.

Pen, who would offend them without understanding? The fourth lantern of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum immediately had a winner.

Buddhism talks about karma, and Taoism also emphasizes that people who accumulate good deeds will be blessed. Perhaps doing more good deeds can keep their mother and child safe. Jin Huabin is usually an atheist, but these days, he is confused by his wife's pregnancy.

In addition to my father-in-law's many manipulations by the old gods, I had the idea in my heart that I would rather believe that something exists than something that doesn't exist. I thought, if you do more good deeds, you might be able to change your destiny, even if it doesn't work.

It is also a return to society.

After discussing with Su Yuehong, she also responded happily: "Now, there are many charity groups in QQ. If we open a corresponding charity section in our forum, they will definitely welcome it. In this way, there will be a wave of registrations."

This is a good idea that balances both public and private interests. It not only promotes positive energy, but also enlivens the forum. After the two agreed, they got going and contacted several charity-themed QQ groups and invited them to join the forum. What activities are there?
