On the stage in the hall, a more noble cassock was neatly stacked in a gold satin brocade box. The etiquette took it out and unfolded it in front of everyone. The mesh-like gold threads on it were intertwined with the best gold brocade. Now in the daylight
When it was unfolded, it was suddenly filled with light, and the whole hall couldn't help but exclaimed.
"What a top-quality magic weapon." Even Chunjiao couldn't help but admire it, but then she couldn't help but get suspicious and muttered to herself, "Why does it look newer?"
The thing is a good thing, but everyone present is a discerning person. Although the cassock is extraordinary, it looks too new. If it was something worn by the abbot of Guanyin Temple, it should not have such a shape.
The price of 50,000 taels is really too expensive.
When the bidding started with the ceremonial call, no one bid in the audience. This was the first cold start since the auction started.
This situation was expected by Xia Shang, so he didn't care and just looked at the room on the third floor where the prefect was located.
There was silence for a long time, and when the ceremony was about to announce that the item was no longer available for auction, the prefect finally raised his hand: "Fifty thousand, I'll pay."
Etiquette sees the opportunity and seals the deal immediately.
The prefect did not hide his identity. Everyone knew that it was the prefect who took the photo of the gold-threaded cassock used by the "president of Guanyin Temple". Even though they knew it was fake, no one deliberately publicized it. Instead, people around him expressed their congratulations.
Sure enough, the prefect took a photo of this thing!
Xia Shang was overjoyed, his purpose of coming here was achieved, and he was ready to leave.
At this time, the etiquette happened to present another object, and loudly said to everyone: "Everyone, this object is the most auctioned today, and it is called the Golden Silkworm Armor. This object is made from the gold, the king of snow silkworms in the far north.
Made from silkworm silk, the golden silk is far more valuable than gold paper. It is said that once it is spitted out every hundred years, it is worth one gold for a thousand snows, one gold and a half penny. The gold silk used for this thing is five kilograms, and it has been specially refined. During
It has gone through countless processes by famous craftsmen to make this object. Therefore, this object is so precious that it can be said to be a rare find in a hundred years, and the more important thing is yet to come."
After saying that, he clapped his hands and two strong men came up from the back hall. One of them was carrying a tiger-headed sword, and the other was wearing a golden silkworm armor on his side, and each of them took a stance.
Li Li added: "The precious thing about the golden silkworm armor is that it is invulnerable to weapons and weapons. Wearing the golden silkworm armor, any sword or sword will be useless."
As the etiquette was being spoken, the strong man suddenly shouted loudly and slashed at the armor-piercing man with all his strength.
This move made everyone in the audience scream in surprise, and even the timid ones were so frightened that they closed their eyes.
However, when he slashed the golden silkworm armor with all his strength, no blood spattered. The person who pierced the armor just took a few steps back, and the blade of the knife and the golden silkworm armor wiped away a dazzling firework.
The sparks dissipated, but the person who pierced the armor was not injured at all, and the golden silkworm armor was also intact.
Oops!
Good guy!
Everyone's eyes were attracted.
This is a life-saving artifact!
Such treasures are always priceless.
Even Xia Shang was attracted and stopped leaving.
Xia Shang is now surrounded by many difficulties. He may encounter danger at any time, and he does not know martial arts. How to save his life has always been his biggest concern.
This golden silkworm armor was tailor-made for Xia Shang. With this thing, Xia Shang had an extra layer of protection. How could its value be replaced by gold and silver?
Just listen to the etiquette in the venue shout: "The starting price is 100,000, the bidding begins."
"I will pay 120,000 yuan." Xia Shang was the first to raise his hand.
Xia Shang's move immediately attracted the attention of everyone around him. The starting price of 100,000 yuan was already considered a sky-high price. Normally, people on the first floor would not be able to compete for such a treasure.
It’s really a rare thing among the guests on the first floor to be so generous.
In an instant, Xia Shang became the focus of the audience.
Xia Shang didn't want to attract attention, but the Golden Silkworm Armor was too important to care about.
"Xia Shang?"
The magistrate on the third floor also noticed Xia Shang for a moment, and couldn't help but frown: "Why is he here? Does he want to use this as a birthday gift for the mediocre king? He spent 120,000 yuan, and he really paid for it!"
Although 120,000 yuan is a high price in the outside world, it is nothing here, and someone is bidding upstairs.
"Twenty-five thousand taels."
"One hundred and forty thousand."
"I'll pay 150,000."
…
The bidding came one after another, and soon it exceeded 200,000.
Xia Shang did not expect that the competition for this thing would be so fierce. Although he had money, he still lacked some accumulation in front of many old Yangzhou people. The silver he could use now was only about 250,000 taels. No matter how much money he had, Xia Shang could only do nothing.
.
In this case, Xia Shang directly shouted: "Two hundred and fifty thousand taels."
No one was surprised by this price, and the atmosphere in the venue was as old as ever, because rich people know in their hearts that no amount of money is expensive when it comes to life.
"Three hundred thousand taels." An indifferent voice came from the third floor, it was the real big shots who took action.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand taels."
"Three hundred and eighty thousand taels."
As soon as the really rich people took action, prices rose at an alarming rate, and even Xia merchants could only sigh in despair.
After all, he is still young and lacks accumulation. Compared with those big family members who have truly accumulated wealth, Xia Shang's financial resources are still far behind.
Xia Shang knew that this golden silkworm armor was destined to miss him.
But Xia Shang is not disappointed. It is also a good thing to know the gap. It will make his goals clearer and make more money. If he participates in such auctions in the future, no one else can get his hands on what he likes.
Finally, the Golden Silkworm Armor was sold for a sky-high price of 550,000 yuan.
Strangely, the person who bought this thing was the one in the only room with the curtain drawn, and he seemed to have been peeking at Xia Shang before.
Xia Shang was just a little confused and left Wanbaozhai without thinking much.
After coming out of Wanbaozhai, he was about to return to the inn, but he didn't want to follow a man dressed as a servant to catch up and stop Xia Shang.
"Master Xia, walk slowly."
Xia Shang looked at this person and didn't recognize him, but he was holding a brocade box in both hands and looked familiar.
"Who are you?" Xia Shang asked.
"The villain has given me a special gift by order of my wife. I hope Mr. Xia will accept it."
Having said that, the servant presented the somewhat familiar looking brocade box with both hands.
Xia Shang was surprised, so he took it and opened it and said in surprise: "Ah?"
Without waiting for Xia Shang to ask questions, the servant resigned and hurried back to Wanbaozhai.
"Who is your wife?"
The servant turned around and bowed: "Madam, don't let the villain tell me. If the young master is destined, he will naturally know."
Chunjiao didn't pay attention at her side. Seeing Xia Shang's strange expression, Fang looked over and wondered what was in the box that could make this person behave like this.
When Chunjiao saw it, she was also shocked and hurriedly rubbed her eyes, looking in disbelief.
"Golden Silkworm Armor!"
That’s right!
The Golden Silkworm Armor in the brocade box, which had just been the most fiercely contested, was worth an astronomical price of 550,000 taels of silver, and then it actually appeared in front of him, and he said it was going to be given to him?
Who exactly is he?
Xia Shang has traveled through so long, and this is the first time he encountered such big doubts. (To be continued)
