The medical concubine is blessed with good fortune and her husband's life is prosperous. The mo

The prince was so anxious. He couldn't leave the East Palace. It suddenly occurred to him that he was grounded but the princess was not!

Although he didn't like Zhang Chaoying, she was his father's wife.

She also has a good relationship with Princess Ling. By the way, let her ask Princess Ling what medicine she gave me?

This damn girl is so cruel! I didn’t really do anything to her, so I would be so cruel!

He sent for the Crown Princess and said with a smile:

"There is great joy in the city today. I don't know what kind of business the newly opened auction house does, but even my father and mother have come to visit it."

"I can't leave the East Palace, so I can't accompany the Crown Princess to have a look. Crown Princess, you can go alone and buy two things you like."

"By the way, Prince Ling and Princess Ling will definitely join in the fun. You apologize to Princess Ling on my behalf, and then ask on my behalf, well, um, how long will it take for me to recover from this injury?"

The Crown Princess was puzzled: "You should ask the imperial doctor about the injury on the Crown Prince's palm! Why should you ask Princess Ling?"

The prince suddenly turned red. He could tell Li Linyu about his physical discomfort, but he was embarrassed to tell the princess.

He just said vaguely: "You can ask for me, Princess Ling will understand."

The Crown Princess lowered her eyes, rolled her eyes, and sighed softly: "I'm still not going. I heard that the things at the auction are very expensive. I'm afraid I can't afford anything with my monthly salary."

The prince was unhappy when he heard this: "You are the majestic Crown Princess of the East Palace, can't you even afford two things? Bring someone and give the Crown Princess a thousand taels of silver. Spend what I promised you!"

Li Linyu outside the door was so angry that she broke off a fingernail. Today she and the prince were supposed to spend a lot of money to buy the most beautiful leather bags and the latest perfume.

At night, she sprayed perfume and waited in bed for the prince to arrive...

Instead of now, she and the prince were banned from the East Palace, and Zhang Chaoying took the prince's money to spend it!

But she didn't dare to say anything. Something happened to Princess Ling in the East Palace. Not only did the emperor blame her, but the queen also scolded her and encouraged the prince to do what he did.

She needs to keep a low profile now and must not do anything to stand out.

The princess is naturally very happy to go to the auction now. The prince's money will not be wasted until it is wasted!

She was just about to take a picture of something nice and give it to Princess Ling!

At this time, Shen Dongsu and Ling Moxiao had arrived at the auction house. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a boy wearing uniform blue clothes.

After reading the invitation in a polite and formal manner, he gave the driver a number and then led the driver to stop and untie the horse to rest.

A wide and smooth road has been built in the yard, with various exotic flowers on both sides. There are nine winding corridors, small bridges and flowing water, and guests can enjoy the landscape flowers.

After entering the second door, there is a beautifully decorated restaurant where you can order food and have buffet snacks. There are maids in green clothes and long skirts and hairpins waiting in the restaurant.

When guests want to pick up food, order food or drink tea, the maid will serve them respectfully. And guests with invitations dine for free.

Of course, nobles and nobles disdain to eat the food here, but some young ladies and young ladies will be curious to try some when they see the exquisite snacks and various flower teas.

The nobles and nobles all have private rooms, either exclusively for themselves, or two families sharing the same private room. The box was decorated extremely luxuriously.

It is covered with thick cashmere carpets, and upon entering, a maid will kneel down to take off the guests' shoes and put on comfortable cotton slippers.

Then the guests were asked to wash their hands with water soaked in chrysanthemum petals, and a thick hot white towel was given to wipe their hands.

After taking a seat, the female guests are served health-preserving longan, red dates and rose tea, while the male guests are served Maojian or Longjing tea according to their usual tea taste.

Accompanying the tea was a female tea master in Tsing Yi, who was either ordering tea or making tea, which was very pleasing to the eye.

What surprises guests is not only the luxurious decoration and attentive service, but also the owner's understanding of their tastes.

He even knows exactly what kind of tea he likes to drink and what he likes to avoid.

At the same time, this tea set also surprised the visitors who were used to seeing high-end utensils. Either elegant porcelain, or exquisite silverware, or even Western glaze wares that are more expensive than gold!

The plates and dishes used for serving refreshments are also loved by ladies and gentlemen. They are either small or exquisite, and they are unique.

The cup the female guest drinks rose tea from is so exquisite that you can't put it down. It is a carved teacup with a handle, a small saucer of the same color, and a small porcelain spoon.

Sugar, honey or milk can be added. The young lady immediately fell in love with this way of drinking tea. She was watching how the maid made tea, and planned to go home and let her maid learn it.

It can be said that the auction has not even started yet, and most of the guests have already decided to buy the same tea sets, tea leaves, and refreshments.

Each box is equipped with flowers, each of which is different. Some flower lovers discovered that there are camellias from Dianzhou and orchids from Sichuan.

The private room has a natural floral scent, which prevents incense from affecting the sense of smell.

Being able to open at the same time in this season is obviously the result of the conservatory's pampering. It was just used as a decoration, which shows the wealth of the owner behind it.

The guests sitting in the lobby on the first floor were mostly wealthy businessmen and some small aristocrats, but they also received attentive service.

There are two maids in charge of each area. As long as you press the small bell on the table, the maids will come over immediately.

Shen Dongsu was in the second box with the best view. She silently watched the guests in the second and third floor boxes arrive, and then looked at the side of the hall on the first floor to see the performers in place.

Only the people in box No. 1 did not arrive. It seemed that the emperor planned to come back halfway.

But the emperor had Ling Moxiao personally entertaining him, so she didn't need to worry about him.

At this moment, the door of box number one opened, and she saw Ling Moxiao bringing six people in.

The leaders were indeed the emperor and the empress. She had nothing to worry about the fact that the empress also came to participate in the auction.

She still couldn't believe it. In front of the noble nobles of this city, the queen could shamelessly behave like a monster!

If the Queen couldn't help but take pictures of something, she would be more than happy to earn the Queen's money!

You must know that she has prepared a "big gift" today, just waiting to make a lot of money from these nobles!

At this moment, the lights on the stage came on, the doors and windows of all the boxes opened, and all the guests on the first floor stood up.

Qi saluted in Box No. 1 and shouted three times, "Long live the Emperor and a thousand live the Queen."

Shen Dongsu also saluted, but he felt funny in his heart. The emperor also said that he would come quietly. You are called "quietly", and everyone in Chang'an knows it!

The queen only nodded lightly, and the emperor only said "flat body", majestic yet domineering.

I just knew that the emperor and queen were in the first box, and the guests were obviously more reserved. Just now, there were people clamoring for things in the lobby on the first floor, but now they are all silent.

It's time for the singing and dancing performance. Today, Jiang spent a lot of money to invite everyone who is famous in Chang'an City.

It is common to have Sun Da perform a song that captivates the whole country, and Wang Da perform a song that captivates the whole country, and there is also a Li Yuan who comes to sing. These are all commonplace.

The Jiang family also specially borrowed Persian dancers and Silla dancers who were supported by a certain noble family, as well as horse-riding dances by extremely masculine Qiang youths.

Such hodgepodge performances were not popular these days, and ladies and ladies in particular rarely had the opportunity to see such performances.

Even if the family invites a theater troupe, they will sing the same old operas.

There are juggling, singing and dancing performances during the holidays, but those are rare opportunities for them to go out. There is not enough time for other activities, so how can they be in the mood to calm down and watch the performances!

Therefore, all the guests from Box 1 to the lobby were mesmerized by this performance, and they clapped their hands and applauded in admiration.

Especially that opera, it was not an old opera that I had heard hundreds of times, but a new one. It was about a pair of ordinary lovers, and the woman was spotted by a local wealthy man and was forced to take him as a concubine.

The man risked his life to rescue her, and the two finally got married after going through hardships. In the end, the man became a high-ranking official, and the woman took the imperial court for her life.

An unjust case was solved, a lost relative was found, the family was reunited, and finally, the emperor was praised for his wisdom.

This scene was written by Shen Dongsu and staged at the most popular troupe in Chang'an. In this era when bloody play was not yet popular and scripts were monotonous.

The book she wrote is naturally touching and full of twists and turns. At the same time, she flatters the emperor and also hints that the local gentry is at fault.

A thoughtful person can see something, but you can't let this play allude to the Lu family. Anyway, the Lu family people are very angry when they watch it, but if others applaud, they can only applaud along with it.

Before the guests could get over the mood of the opera, the men whispered about the songs and dances, commenting on which Persian dancer had the most graceful figure.

The women were saddened by the characters in the opera, and many ladies were blushing and flustered by the young man's horse-riding dance. They felt that the auction house was too bold.

Such a seductive dance, actually performed in public!

At this time, the stage lights and props were removed, and the auction officially began.

The first thing can naturally set off the atmosphere, so I put on perfume.

The person who presided over the auction was a young man, a younger brother of the Jiang family, named Jiang Hong. He had studied for several years and had not passed the examination for merit. He came to Chang'an early to take charge of his own business.

Many people present knew him, and they all asked angrily, "So the perfume is yours!" Why didn't you tell me before? There were so few perfumes that we couldn’t even buy one if we wanted to!

Jiang Hong first saluted to Box 1, then extended his hands to the surroundings, laughing and saying that perfume is very rare and the ingredients used are the most precious spices in the world.

There are only four styles this season, and the one I’m shooting now is the first one, called Xiangmei.

Upon hearing the name, the ladies were reluctant to buy it, but this time the perfume was not packed in a jade bottle.

Instead, a translucent glass bottle was used. The lavender fragrance slowly circulated in the glass bottle, and it looked so tempting.

And the bottle no longer needs to be dropped into the palm of the hand for application, but the perfume mist can be sprayed out with one press.

Jiang Hong sprayed it once in each direction. In an instant, a scent that could not be explained was filled, but it was a scent that was so enticing that people wanted to get intoxicated.

This fragrance will change, and the longer it goes on, the longer the finish will be.

Jiang Hong chuckled and said: "Spray it once and the fragrance will last for seven days. And the fragrance changes three times, and the fragrance is different in different parts of the body."

"Just like its name, the fragrance is breathtaking."

"The first auction is 100 gold, the one with the highest price will get it."

He spoke implicitly, but everyone present, except for the unmarried girls, did not understand.

Originally, the perfume was used as a sexual aid.

Suddenly the scene became lively, and someone shouted: "I will pay one hundred and ten gold!"

Someone sneered: "You have the nerve to shout for ten more gold! I'll pay you two hundred gold!"

"Tch, I'll pay you three hundred gold!"

……

Even the queen in box number one was moved, but she knew she must not shout in this situation. She is the mother of a country, how can she serve the king with sex?

Besides, if she wanted it, Jiang Hong would naturally give it to her with a hint.

In the end, the bottle of perfume was auctioned for 800 gold.

Just when many ladies regretted not bidding, Jiang Hong took out three bottles of different perfumes, saying that these were the only four bottles for this season.

After today, if you want to buy perfume, you have to buy a new one next spring.

Suddenly, the remaining three bottles were snapped up like crazy, and they were sold for 1,200 gold, 1,500 gold and 1,600 gold respectively.

Those male customers really want to hide their financial resources, so they won't pay high prices. But the women couldn't stand it and they went crazy!

Thinking that there will be no new perfume until next spring, and buying a bottle of perfume, I will be the most eye-catching among the ladies of Chang'an during this long winter.

Who doesn’t want to grab it!

Shen Dongsu was dumbfounded. These wealthy people were indeed rich!

He whispered to Ling Moxiao and smiled: "You can't even collect the ten thousand gold reward for me, but these nobles spend thousands of gold on perfume without blinking an eye."

Ling Moxiao's eyes narrowed, and he became more and more aware of the role of the auction house.

The emperor looked at it and sneered repeatedly. These people's gold was derived from the blood of the people of Daxia!

We cry poverty when we pay taxes, we cry when we provide disaster relief, but now we are willing to spend so much gold to buy a small bottle of perfume!

The first one takes pictures of the favorites of ladies, and the second one takes pictures of what men like. The first one is the nanmu from Sichuan. Although it is not as good as the golden nanmu used only by the royal family, it is also the second best nanmu.

Some old men over fifty became excited. If the emperor started building his mausoleum from the day he ascended the throne, then ordinary old people would start saving coffins after they turned fifty.

The requirement for the coffin is how high it should be. Some people are reluctant to buy a good bed and sleep on hard wood all their lives, but they are willing to spend thousands of dollars to buy a good coffin.

This nanmu has been the first choice for making coffins since ancient times. After hearing that there is not much nanmu, only enough for three coffins, the crowd went crazy again.

It's a pity that some old scholars are not as rich as noble merchants. After the offer reaches 300 gold, they have no money.

His face suddenly turned red, and he didn't care that the emperor was at the scene. He directly threatened the people at the scene. If he didn't leave a coffin for him, he would curse them to death with his pen!

No one dares to offend these scholarly censors, and they are happy to please them.

In the end, they started a quarrel on their own. If Jiang Hong hadn't said that three coffins would be auctioned next month, the quarrel would have been fruitless.

I patted down the nanmu used for coffins and the sandalwood used for dowries, but there was also not much, only enough to make five beds. Now it was Xungui, who was about to marry his daughter, who was going crazy.

Ling Moxiao quietly told Shen Dongsu that the auction price was more than ten times higher than what was sold on the market.

Next are some less outstanding but rare good things, including ebony, purple rice known as longevity rice, Jingdezhen porcelain, pink pearls, ice silk, etc.

When the bidding among the guests started to become less intense, an item came onto the scene that made everyone excited.

A half-human-tall Buddha statue, this Buddha statue is unusual.

It is made of translucent glass, sparkling and dazzling.
