Ten days later, Zhengxuan Tower in the capital.

"The price we are bidding on now is a set of the Xiashan Tiger Inkstone belonging to the then First Assistant, Mr. Fucha!"

"Master Fucha was the number one scholar in Wanjia's thirteenth year."

"He has outstanding literary talent, is a generous person, can recommend people's strengths, considers the overall situation, understands the general situation, and has extraordinary tolerance and cultivation."

At the auction, the palace maid, uniformly dressed in pink, energetically invited the wealthy gentry from all over the country who came to the capital for the auction to take a seat, and also served tea.

There were many people standing around watching, eating melon seeds.

On the auction stage, the palace lady who explained the situation spoke in a gentle voice like a warbler's cry, and when she got to the key points she became very passionate.

"Master Fu Cha won the imperial examination at the age of twelve, and won the first prize at the age of nineteen. ... He became the prince's imperial master at the age of thirty-seven, and was promoted to the chief assistant at the age of forty-five!"

"The set of tiger inkstones with tiger pictures brought out by Mr. Fucha this time is his old love when he was young."

"He didn't have much money at the time, so he wandered outside the store every day, silently swearing in his heart——"

"I want to be like that tiger that descends from the mountain and create a prosperous world!"

The narrating palace maids were specially selected by Liu Bin and received special storytelling training.

In an instant, the auction place was in a sensation!

"I want to be like a mountain tiger!"

"I didn't know that the most calm Chief Assistant was as powerful as a tiger and had a youthful air."

"Old Fuchage, you have such great ambitions!"

Xiao Yunzhou, who was sitting in the private room on the second floor, picked up the tea cup and said, "I just know that you, Mr. Fuchage, were so powerful back then."

Fucha's chief assistant's old face was almost hot.

Who wrote these words?

Do you still want his old face?

The auction lady on the first floor had already said loudly, "This tiger inkstone will not be bought until the chief assistant of Fucha obtains the first prize, enters the Hanlin Academy, and receives the first month's salary."

"This is not only his favorite thing for many years, but also a symbol of his lofty ambitions!"

Chief Fucha coughed and almost spit out the tea.

A bit elevated.

It's a bit too high.

In fact, he hasn't used it a few times since buying it.

He thinks this inkstone is not easy to use!

"Mr. Fuchage has not used up one-tenth of the square inkstone, so he must not be willing to use it."

Mr. Fuchage: "..."

The auction maid looked at the auctioneers with a smile, "Fucha Pavilion used to buy this Xiashan Tiger Inkstone for twelve taels."

"Today, times have changed. Mr. Fuchage gave it to us to sell it on our behalf. The base price he gave for the inkstone is ninety taels."

"This is a special number. It may be that the world is blooming in the heart of Mr. Fuchage... I hope that the ninety-nine will be unified! Our country is prosperous and stands proudly among other countries!"

Mr. Fuchage's beard was shaking.

"Now let's start the quotation - the Xiashan Tiger Inkstone that this party purchased after passing the first prize. It is the favorite of Mr. Fuchage. Everyone bids!"

"Ouch ninety-nine taels!"

"One hundred and ninety-nine taels!"

"Two hundred and ninety-nine taels!"

"..."

"I will pay nine hundred and ninety-nine taels! I am willing to pay nine hundred and ninety-nine taels for the great ambition of the current chief minister, Mr. Fuchage!"

The whole place was shocked.

Even the tea cup in Old Fuchage's hand fell down.

What?

Something worth twelve taels was sold for almost a thousand taels?

[Hey, my mother is really good at writing stories~]

Xiao Chuchu was shocked in the emperor's arms.

She still underestimated the admiration of people without official status for high officials and the number one scholar in this era!

"Okay, the next item for sale comes from the imperial palace. It is a bamboo futon in front of the Buddha in Cining Palace, the current Queen Mother."

Jiang Li, a member of the household department, couldn't help but stand up.

Why not go to the jade bowl?

Bamboo kneeling mats are not expensive.

"The Queen Mother once knelt on this bamboo futon."

"On every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, she would kneel in front of the Buddha and pray for the people."

Hubu Jiang Li opened his mouth for a moment.

"As you can see, there are obvious signs of wear and tear in the middle of this futon."

"It's the Empress Dowager who has the traces of the knees of all people in her heart!"

In an instant, the viewing platform was boiling.

The common people, the rich and the squire were all shocked.

"Oh my god! The Queen Mother is thinking of us people."

"Isn't the Queen Mother the biggest in the palace? Does she even kneel on top of her?"

"We just don't have money. If we had money, we would also like to buy it back. I knelt down before the Queen Mother~"

The scene was very lively, with waves getting louder than waves.

The prince's articles praised by the emperor, scriptures copied by the queen, Buddhist scriptures by the queen mother, jade bowls, concubines' bracelets and gold hairpins...

The pen and ink inkstone of the cabinet minister, the six ministers, and the number two scholar... Like a stream of water, one by one came to the stage to bid.

In full swing, the common people are eating melons and watching the excitement, and the rich and powerful gentlemen are shouting prices.

"Hey, Brother Liu, did you take any photos of the emperor?"

"No, sorry! I only took a picture of little Princess playing with the spinning top!"

"That's good. Your son can play with little things."

"No, I'm very satisfied. I even took a picture of the champion wine brewed by my wife, the champion!"

"Oh, congratulations, I only took a picture of the chamber pot where the Minister of Justice was sitting on, thinking about the laws."

"Oh, it's not bad. I didn't even get it."

"..."

Xiao Yunzhou couldn't listen anymore, otherwise he might laugh out loud

.

[In the final analysis, people really worship high officials and emperors. We Jingguo officials and the royal family must also work harder and don’t be ashamed of everyone’s love! 】

Xiao Chuchu couldn't help but think in her heart.

Xiao Yunzhou's heart was so clear that he immediately looked at the private room where Mr. Pavilion and the Six Ministers were following him in casual clothes, and he cleared his throat.

"Everyone, I'm going back to the palace first."

"You can stay and continue watching."

"Give me an article tomorrow to write down my thoughts today."

"???"

"Why do you think the things you use are so scrambled by the people? How do you live up to the expectations of the people and the squire?"

"..."

After Xiao Yunzhou finished speaking, he was ready to return to the palace to continue studying Xiao Gege's "Basics of Finance", of which he had only scratched the surface.

I still have to keep thinking hard!

He didn't have time to waste time here, but when he turned around and saw the child Chu Chu's face flushed with excitement, he couldn't bear to take the child back early.

"Let Concubine Liu take Little Princess back before the palace gate is locked."

Xiao Chuchu whined and turned toward Xiao Yunzhou.

【Thank you, Emperor Dad~】

[Today we can draw a lottery again. When I come back in the evening, I will draw something good to reward you~]

Xiao Yunzhou: "!"

Again? !

He didn't dare to say anything and hurried back to the palace to study.

"Wei Zheng, I also want to eat the prince's brain supplement meal at night."

"..."

*

Xiao Chuchu watched the entire auction and enjoyed it endlessly, babbling and making noises to join in the fun.

Liu Bin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. As the person in charge, she was shocked until the last piece of the harem was photographed and she clicked through all the gains.

"Received... [-] million silver?" Liu Bin was shocked.

This is almost the same as the first day's deposit at the money bank.

[There are so many people who are not short of money. 】

Xiao Chuchu sighed.

Concubine Liu did not dare to delay, and quickly asked the people from the Ministry of Household Affairs to count the silver coins, and then she also set off back to the palace.

Originally, she wanted to go back home to see Father Liu and Mother Liu, but now she had no choice but to do so.

She wanted to return to the palace quickly and distribute the money belonging to the harem to the women in the harem.

But who would have thought that as soon as she got on the carriage, she was stopped!

"Sister, my mother asked me to bring you the duck eggs."

"Are you taking it back to the palace to eat?" Liu Runnian drove himself to see Liu Bin's sister.

"Eat food in the palace, check it out, you should be able to bring it in? These duck eggs are fine, let's eat them."

Liu Bin was about to turn around and ask her elder brother how he was doing with his silk weaving book.

Just listen to Xiao Chuchu squealing in your arms.

[Uncle, why don’t you give me some food for your mother? The Lun family wants to eat roast duck, not duck eggs~]

Xiao Chuchu was going crazy with greed.

Liu Bin couldn't laugh or cry, the little thing didn't even have teeth.

Liu Runnian scratched his head and said, "I will also keep an eye on the stuffed ducks for Chu Chu. When our little Chu Chu can eat meat, my uncle will definitely give Chu Chu the fattest batch."

Xiao Chuchu was overjoyed, but halfway through the fun, she was shivering all over due to the wind, and her little face cramped up from the cold!

[Jingguo is so cold in winter. I almost forgot, I can’t do it because of the freezing weather recently. When will uncle come out with the down jacket? 】

Liu Leonian and Liu Bin were startled at the same time.

What clothes?

Down?
