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

Daxia's glazed wares were all brought from Persia by merchants from the Western Regions. They were more expensive than gold and precious stones and were highly sought after by noble and wealthy merchants.

Like the glazed ring hanging around the waist, it was once more expensive than the white jade ring.

Translucent and glistening glass hairpins in the sun are more popular among noble ladies than gold and gem-encrusted hairpins.

Most of the colored glazes coming to Chang'an are small items, and with the wars in the Western Regions in recent years, trade routes have gradually been cut off. It has been a long time since Persian merchants came to Chang'an with colored glaze, spices and other in-demand goods.

And I have never seen anything like the half-human-tall glazed Buddha in front of me. Jiang Hong specially placed it in a place exposed to the sun, and it instantly seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light.

At this moment, the few masters present became excited. Well, the reason why we invited masters to the auction is because the biggest money bank these days and the business of putting incense and accumulating money are all done by monks.

To ordinary people, monks are respected agents of gods and Buddhas. For wealthy businessmen, monks are considered peers to a certain extent.

In addition, the masters of several major temples in Chang'an have a high status in Chang'an's social circle. Jiang's work is comprehensive, not only monks, but also famous Taoist priests have posted.

Originally, the idea was that a wealthy businessman would take a photo of this giant Buddha and give it to the temple to gain a good reputation.

As a result, he didn't expect the monk at the scene to take the photo himself. Jiang Hong also said with a smile that to show his respect for Buddhism, the starting price of this glass Buddha was only one or two gold.

For a while, all the guests praised the Jiang family for their generosity, and naturally some people scolded the Jiang family for being stupid. It is not a problem to fetch a thousand gold for such a glazed Buddha, but the starting price is only one or two gold!

Once again, I heard that this Buddha is the only one and there is no other one in the world. The monks from several big temples are rushing to take pictures of it as much as the ladies are competing for perfume.

You insisted on raising two thousand gold. You said it was to pray for the Queen Mother, but he said it was for the prosperity of the country. He also said that after inviting the Buddha back to the temple, he would hold Buddhist rituals for seven consecutive days.

The nobles and wealthy businessmen were embarrassed to compete with the masters. The emperor's eyes were half-squinted when he looked at the room in the first box, which was very similar to Ling Moxiao's expression.

Look, the monks are really rich!

If a monk has money, he should earn more from them. There is indeed only one Big Buddha, but there are many glass bead bracelets and rosaries engraved with the Eighteen Arhats.

There is also a small statue of Guanyin carved like rice, with the Diamond Sutra and the Heart Sutra engraved on it.

There are also Buddha bone relics that are said to have come from Tianzhu. These products made the monks go crazy.

But after going crazy, they realized that they spent too much money, and began to accuse Jiang of disrespecting the Buddha and blaspheming the gods and Buddhas.

These things should be kept high in temples, how can they become commodities used for trading in the mortal world?

Especially this relic should be packed in a gold box and sent to Daxiangguo Temple as an offering. How dare you put it here as goods!

Shen Dongsu looked at it funny in the second box. Look, if you want something and don't want to spend more money, no matter what your identity is, you will play rogue and blackmail.

You monks respect gods and Buddhas, so why do you get so much "blessing", that is, interest, when you put incense and accumulate money?

Seeing Mrs. Jiang there frequently looking towards the second box, she understood that Mrs. Jiang was afraid that she would really offend these monks and make money from gods and Buddhas, which would ruin the reputation of the Jiang family.

Naturally, Shen Dongsu would not embarrass Ms. Jiang, so she turned her eyes and took it into consideration. Ask Ling Moxiao: "Where have there been natural disasters recently?"

Ling Moxiao whispered: "Aside from the chaos in Youzhou, there is also the plague in Minzhou."

Shen Dongsu immediately told Yue Jian his idea and asked her to tell Mrs. Jiang quickly.

Soon, Jiang Hong on the stage looked at his cousin Jiang in the distance with admiration. He threw his hands around, especially to the noisy fat monks who were blushing and said:

"The Jiang family sells Buddha statues and bones not to disrespect the gods and Buddhas, but to promote the compassion of the Buddha!"

"Unknown to all the masters, there is a plague in Minzhou, and the whole Jiang family has decided to auction these Buddha statues and bones for gold and silver."

"Don't keep any taels, and donate them all to Minzhou to treat the people affected by the disaster!"

"The King of the Household Department is here to testify that the proceeds from the Buddhist auction were settled on the spot. The Jiang family did not even keep any handling fees. The Jiang family also paid for the purchase of these goods!"

"In addition, this relic is not owned by the Jiang family, but someone entrusted the auction house to auction it here."

"Similarly, no matter how much gold is sold at the auction, Jiang will pay the same amount to the buyer, and all the gold sold at the auction will be used for disaster relief!"

As soon as these words came out, the monks fell silent instantly. What else could they say? How else can you cheat? In order to spread the compassion of Buddha, they donated ten thousand yuan to Minzhou!

Mr. Wang almost jumped up with joy. Minzhou was asking for disaster relief money, and the table was almost full. But the treasury was empty and there was nothing he could do!

With this ten thousand gold, the urgent need can be solved.

The Emperor in Box No. 1 was even less excited and looked at Jiang Hong with approval.

He said on the spot: "This is a great kindness from the Jiang family! Come and get some pen and ink."

Soon, the emperor personally wrote a plaque conferring "Yi Shang" to Jiang Hong, and it was hung on the auction house. With this plaque, no one else will dare to say how the auction house will make money in the future.

At the same time, the emperor also discovered the interesting aspect of the auction, and immediately took off a piece of his jade pendant and a folding fan.

He said to Jiang Hong: "I took these two items on site and added them to the Minzhou disaster relief fund."

The queen also joined in the fun and took out a jade bracelet, an emerald hairpin, and a forbidden purple jade ring: "I am also doing my little bit for the people of Minzhou."

The nobles and nobles present may not be interested in the emperor's or queen's belongings, but if they take them home, they can only offer them as gifts, and they will have a good reputation.

But they really don't lack royal things to make their name, but the wealthy businessmen on the scene are different. They lack it!

If this family has the emperor's fan, the queen's hairpin, and anything related to the 'emperor', that would be a supreme honor!

What's more, the emperor and queen are sitting there, so you have to show some respect!

This thing is not as expensive as a Buddha statue to be photographed, and the emperor's face will be lost.

Soon the wealthy businessmen went crazy, and the most enthusiastic bidding scene occurred at the auction. A fan was sold for three thousand gold, and a hairpin was sold for two thousand gold.

The emperor's piece of jade was even more incredible, it was sold for 10,000 gold!

Here gold and silver are no longer goods or money, but a string of numbers.

In her previous life, Shen Dongsu heard about the charity galas held by the rich, where everything could fetch sky-high prices. Even if you have a meal with a wealthy person, you can get a long list of zeros.

Now it seems that it is still a trivial matter. Only things that have something to do with ‘emperor’ are valuable!

With the warm atmosphere of taking pictures of the emperor and queen's things, the guests present seemed to be ignited. No matter what they were photographed later, there were many people bidding.

The fine wines, purple bamboo wares, leather materials, rough gemstones, famous teas, medicinal materials, etc. all fetched prices several times higher than the market price.

Shen Dongsu could do it at first, but then she couldn't. She smiled and asked Ling Moxiao: "Is the prince in need of gold when he goes to Youzhou?"

"...I made enough money in one fell swoop."

I almost said that I was bald. After listening to his "husband" and "wife" jokes every day, I almost said that "the wife has made a lot of money for her husband in one fell swoop."

Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough, otherwise she would be too embarrassed to sit down in this small private room.

Unexpectedly, Ling Moxiao seemed to have the ability to read minds. With a smile in his eyes, he lowered his head and said in her ear: "Thank you, madam."

Shen Dongsu quickly took two steps forward and pretended to look at the hall. To ease the embarrassment, she pretended to be calm and said:

"I'm not bothering like this for the prince, I'm doing it for myself. The prince can save enough gold as soon as possible so that he can give me the reward of 10,000 taels!"

The auction below was coming to an end. Mrs. Jiang wrote a gift list and sent it to her maid to ask for her opinion.

Seeing that there were four bottles of perfume for the queen, she nodded in approval, although she had no intention of giving gifts to that bad woman, the queen.

But if the proper etiquette is not followed and being resented by that woman, it will not do any good to the future development of the auction house.

When she saw the name of the Crown Princess, she was startled. Is the Crown Princess here too? She didn't know it and thought that the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince were both on lockdown together.

At this moment, the Crown Princess's aunt came to invite Shen Dongsu, saying that the Crown Princess was waiting for her in the box and had something to ask her.

Shen Dongsu hurriedly asked Ling Moxiao: "Can I go? Could it be that the prince is also in there?"

Ling Moxiao shook his head: "No, he is grounded. Father is here today, and he will never dare to sneak out of the East Palace."

"Go in peace and take Yue Jian with you."

She was still hesitant, and there was a different emotion in her eyes, a bit like a child who made a mistake and didn't dare to say it directly in front of the elders.

This expression has rarely appeared on her face since she came to Chang'an. Ling Mo's heart was moved, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Is there something you are hiding from your husband?"

Shen Dongsu was afraid that others would hear him, so he stepped forward and raised his toes, but still couldn't touch his ears, so she pulled his arm.

After pulling him to bend over, he whispered: "The medicine I gave to the prince contains more than just intoxicating ingredients."

Ling Moxiao felt the little girl's breath was like blue, and a stream of heat hit the tips of his ears as she whispered, making his heart tremble.

He forced himself to calm down before asking: "What other ingredients are there?"

"It affects a man's ability a little bit, but it will be fine after a month. The imperial doctor can't detect it."

The naughty feeling in Ling Moxiao's heart dissipated instantly, and he even felt a chill in his lower body. He actually forgot that this little girl had such a unique skill!

"Are you worried that the Crown Princess is here to punish you?"

Shen Dongsu bit her lip, looked at him with big eyes and nodded repeatedly, as if asking, 'What should I do?'

Ling Moxiao laughed: "You said that the imperial doctor couldn't find it out, so you won't admit it. Who knew you did it?"

He also warned: "This medicine, like the truth medicine, must never be known to others."

Shen Dongsu nodded heavily: "My lord, don't worry, I won't use it under normal circumstances."

Now she had the confidence to meet the Crown Princess. What she didn't expect was that the Crown Princess paid her five hundred gold to pat a bear skin on her.

She said that she was going to Youzhou, which was extremely cold. It was a bitter cold place in the north of the desert, so she had to prepare enough things to keep out the cold.

Shen Dongsu was a little touched, but she took out this bear skin from the warehouse of Prince Ling's Mansion...

Others spent a lot of money to buy the things she sold and gave them to herself as gifts. She felt a little blushing when she received the gift.

The Crown Princess apologized to her sincerely, saying that what happened in the East Palace yesterday was her fault and hoped that Princess Ling would not hold a grudge against her.

Finally, he asked what the prince had confessed: "I wonder what kind of medicine my sister gave the prince yesterday?"

Shen Dongsu started her acting moment: "It's just an ordinary self-defense drug. The effect of the drug will be over after you fall asleep."

The princess nodded without any doubt. She even felt that the prince was pretending just to let the queen punish King Ling and King Ling severely.

The auction lasted for more than two hours, and the visitors were still not satisfied. They surrounded Jiang Hong and asked when the next auction would be, and what other goods were there?

When Jiang Hong said that the auction venue could be rented, he could also entrust him with good things if he had any, and the auction house would only charge 30% of the rent.

The visitors became excited again. They finally figured out that they could make more money by selling things at auction than sending them to pawn shops or merchants.

The Jiang family is sensible, and they are not stingy if they have the means to make a fortune. They are willing to share the soup with everyone.

Master Wang has been following Jiang Hong, watching him settle accounts, including the huge income from the Buddha bones and statues, and the income from the auction of the emperor and queen.

The money for disaster relief is almost collected! For the first time, Mr. Wang felt that such a luxurious and high-end business activity was a good thing.

After a few more visits, the treasury will be full. Other methods of taking money from nobles and nobles are the same as taking their lives.

And when they were asked to pay at the auction, they rushed to pay like crazy! Mr. Wang feels that when the atmosphere is at its strongest, even a brick can be sold at a high price!

Jiang Hong did not fool Mr. Wang at all. He calculated the accounts clearly and gave him enough gold immediately.

But he has one request, which is to let the people of Minzhou know that this disaster relief money was given by his Jiang family.

Mr. Wang naturally agreed wholeheartedly. There was no need for Jiang Hong to say this. In less than a day, this matter would spread throughout Chang'an City and soon throughout the country.

It is estimated that the Jiang family will become the first wealthy businessman to be praised by the people! In the past, they were scolding profiteers, but from now on the Jiang family will have to pick them out separately, because they are righteous businessmen!

Today's visitors include a rather special family, that is Jiang's husband's family, the Liu family.

The old lady of the Liu family brought her two married daughters and her concubine, Mrs. Xiao. Because Mrs. Jiang has not come back, the matter of taking the equal wife has been delayed, and now she can only become a concubine first.

There are also Liu Hou and his brothers. At first, the Liu family's idea was that this Jiang family's business would be the Liu family's business.

When the time comes when I see something good, I want to come over directly. How dare he, Jiang Hong, refuse to give it to him!

But as soon as the auction started and the emperor appeared, the Liu family knew that things were different from what they thought.

The items to be auctioned were put on stage one by one, and one by one was photographed. The Liu family found that they could not afford to buy any of them!

Only then did Jiang's two aunts realize that the silk and perfume Jiang had given them were so expensive. Based on the family they married into, they are not even qualified to enter the auction!

Mrs. Liu was full of confidence before she came. Today she will carry a car full of treasures home, and she will also teach Mrs. Jiang a lesson. What's the point of always living in another courtyard?

Also, although she is a businesswoman, she becomes a noblewoman when she marries into the Liu family, and she is also involved in business, which is ridiculous. Baoer was led astray by her, how could she marry into a wealthy family in the future?

But the result was that from the beginning to the end of the auction, the Liu family did not even dare to bid once.

Being the only visitor in the audience who returned empty-handed, they were so ashamed that they were even embarrassed to say hello to Jiang Hong.
