After traveling to ancient times, I relied on my husband to win
Chapter 100 Perfume
The Right Prime Minister really liked the "Horse Stepping on Flying Swallow", but he was not corrupt and his family did not have much money, so he could not buy it no matter how much he liked it.
The right prime minister gritted his teeth and raised the sign again.
Qin Yan: "The Right Prime Minister has raised the price again, seventy taels of silver, is there anyone else?"
Although the Left Prime Minister did not get along well with the Right Prime Minister, he did not want to break up with him and did not raise the price.
Since Zuo Xiang didn't raise the price, no one dared to raise the price.
Qin Yan shouted while hitting the small hammer.
"Seventy taels of silver for one time!"
"Seventy taels of silver twice!"
"Seventy taels of silver three times!"
"Deal! 'Horse Stepping on Flying Swallow' will be owned by the Right Prime Minister."
As Qin Yan made the final decision, everyone in the venue applauded and congratulated the Right Prime Minister.
The left prime minister also clapped his hands and congratulated, "Congratulations to the right prime minister for getting what he wanted."
The Right Prime Minister was still very distressed, and said with a fake smile, "Thank you very much for your help, Left Prime Minister, haha."
Zuo Xiang: "You're welcome. We are all colleagues, it's only natural."
The Right Prime Minister snorted coldly.
On the round platform, Qin Yan winked at the palace maid waiting beside him.
The palace maid understood and stepped forward, carefully picked up the tray, walked down and placed it on the right prime minister's desk.
The right prime minister looked at it carefully, then reached out and touched it gently.
“This is a truly exquisite piece.”
The wife of the Right Prime Minister, who was sitting next to him, wanted to roll her eyes at his useless look, but she held back.
"Prime Minister, stop looking and go back. The auction is still going on here." She reminded him gently, asking him to be more restrained as there were people around.
Li Bingyuan, who sat at the same table, couldn't help but laugh when she saw her father being so rude.
Lin Yecheng, who was sitting on the other side of the right prime minister, also took a careful look, but he was not amazed. Of course, Qin Yan had shown it to them before, and seeing that they liked it, he said he would take them to choose after it was finished.
Seeing his father so excited, he was embarrassed to say that Qin Yan would send them off.
"Oh, okay, hey."
The right prime minister became serious, and the palace maid next to him took the push tray away and told the right prime minister.
"Sir, the item is valuable. I will pack it and present it to you when you leave. Please pay the silver then."
The Right Prime Minister stroked his beard and nodded in a haughty manner, "Okay, go down, but don't break my things, or I will hold you responsible."
Maid: "Yes!"
The maid took it down.
Qin Yan had already placed new items on the round table.
"This thing is called Hundred Flowers Fragrance. It is a perfume extracted from 100 kinds of flowers. It is very fragrant. Just a drop of it can make your whole body emit the fragrance of flowers. It will last for a long time and even attract butterflies."
As Qin Yan was speaking, a dancer came up and he dropped a drop of the flower on her body. He then asked her to walk around the stage in a circle, and everyone in the audience could smell the fragrance of the flower.
"However, it is difficult to make. There is only one bottle left. Ladies, please hurry up. The starting price is fifty taels of silver. The bidding begins now."
The final word was given, and the ladies in the audience saw how enchanted their husbands were by the scent of the flowers. Some officials who had many concubines at home had already started bidding.
However, the wives of high-ranking officials had not made any move yet, but Cheng Lao Hu's voice in raising the price was the most prominent among the wives.
"One hundred taels!"
Qin Yan hammered, "General Cheng offered 100 taels of silver, do you have any left?"
Song Minyun originally wanted it, but it was really embarrassing for Cheng Lao Hu to compete with those women here.
He slapped Cheng Lao Hu's arm and lowered his head, "What price are you asking for? It's so embarrassing."
Cheng Lao Hu was confused, "Ah? Madam, why did you hit me? Madam, didn't you want it? I just bid the price. What's the problem?"
Song Minyun pinched him and said, "I told you to stop talking."
Cheng Lao Hu was angry but dared not say anything. He just said "oh" obediently and did not raise the sign again.
Soon, other wives of high-ranking officials also began to bid, and the price was soon called up to two hundred taels of silver.
At this moment, everyone was a little jealous and started bidding frantically.
The ministers next to him were all frowning. If this continued, the emperor would be the one to defeat them.
Then he began to suppress his wife and stopped her from holding up the sign.
Some of them hid their signs, but the ladies just raised their hands to signal, and they were really beating their chests and stamping their feet in anger.
The emperor on the high throne sneered repeatedly, pointing at the ministers below, "All right, all right, but you cried poor to me when I asked you to donate money and grain. Now, do you think this is reasonable?"
The Queen consoled him, "Your Majesty, don't bother with them. Didn't this Qin County man transfer the money from them? In the end, it still fell into the hands of Your Majesty."
When the emperor heard this, he also thought that his treasury was about to be filled, but he still snorted coldly: "Humph, let them go this time. I'll see what excuses they have when they ask for donations next time. If they say they have no money again, I will throw these bills in their faces. How can they buy these things without money?"
After the emperor made up his mind, he was no longer angry and drank two sips of tea.
Patting the Queen's hand, he said, "Your Highness, you are the best at comforting me."
The queen smiled appropriately, her voice gentle, "Your Majesty, this is what I should do."
Seeing that the emperor was no longer angry, the imperial concubine spoke up, "Your Majesty, I also want that perfume. I have never seen these rare things before!"
The emperor looked at his neglected concubine and felt pity for her. He looked at Qin Yan on the stage and said, "Don't worry, my beloved concubine. After the banquet is over, I will ask that kid Qin to make a few more bottles for my beloved concubine to choose from."
"And the Queen, when the time comes, let Qin send some to the Queen's palace."
The imperial concubine smiled happily, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I want to choose with my sister."
The Emperor: "Okay, I'll listen to the Imperial Concubine."
The queen bowed her head slightly in thanks, "Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty."
Li Qingyang, who was sitting next to the imperial concubine, had been listening the whole time and said aggrievedly: "Father, I want one too. You can't be partial to my mother and my concubine and ignore me. Brother Qin said before that this perfume is very difficult to make. There is only one. Please talk to him and get one for me."
Seeing his beloved little princess begging him pitifully, the emperor naturally agreed.
"Okay, okay, prepare some for my Princess Qingyang as well."
At this time, Qin Yan was underground watching the auction silver increasing in value, his face almost breaking with laughter.
If he knew the task the emperor had assigned him, he would have turned the table over (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻. Oh, he wouldn’t, because he couldn’t bear to part with the 20% of the silver.
In my mind, I thought, you are so high-minded, you just make me work but you don’t even increase my salary.
Offstage, the perfume was finally obtained by Shirou's wife, whose family happened to be wealthy and she didn't care how much she spent.
"Now comes the highlight." As Qin Yan finished speaking, the red cloth covering the collection was unveiled.
When they saw the object, the four prairie princes stood up at the same time.
All the ministers present looked over in surprise. After all, they had been very quiet throughout the entire banquet, so this reaction was really strange.
