After traveling to ancient times, I relied on my husband to win

Chapter 99 Horses trample on flying swallows

Once again, the dark curtain appeared, and Qin Yan walked onto the stage when several beams of light converged on him.

"Hahaha, it seems like everyone likes my performance very much. The main show is coming next."

With a clap of hands, Jiang Zhi at the back of the stage asked the palace maid waiting on the side to go up.

Two palace maids walked onto the stage and stood on one side, each holding a tray in their hands.

Qin Yan stepped forward and said, "Okay, everyone present here should look at me."

Walk up and pick up the rice paper on the tray.

"Come, look carefully at what's in the boy's hand."

He raised an eyebrow and turned the rice paper over to show the people near the stage.

"Come, General, take a look. Are both sides made of rice paper?"

Cheng Lao Hu, who was sitting below, looked at it carefully and said, "Yes, both sides are white. It is paper."

Song Minyun, Cheng Ziyan and Cheng Ziang, who were sitting at the same table, looked over carefully and nodded secretly. It was indeed Xuan paper.

Everyone present also stretched their necks to look.

Cheng Lao Hu was puzzled, "Not Qin kid, what are you doing with two pieces of paper?"

Qin Yan held the paper in his hand and said, "Don't be anxious, General. Didn't I say 'magic' before? Hey, General, look carefully. This is a piece of paper."

Cheng Lao Hu readily admitted it and shouted to the crowd behind him: "Yes, this general saw it with his own eyes, he is just a piece of paper."

Qin Yan chuckled, "Okay, this is an exciting moment, everyone, look carefully at the boy's hands."

The original rice paper turned into a silver note after Qin Yan turned it over.

wow~

Everyone was in an uproar, "How, how did this happen?"

"Is it because my eyes are blurry?"

"so amazing."

……

Cheng Lao Hu, who was sitting in the front, was the most shocked. He walked forward excitedly and said, "You, bring it here for me to see. I want to see if it's real."

Everyone wanted to know too, so they all looked here.

Qin Yan was not opposed to it, and happily handed it to Cheng Lao Hu, "Here, let the general check it, but you have to return it. This is the only banknote I have, and it's my private money."

Cheng Lao Hu didn't waste time talking to him and just took it in his hand to look at it.

"I know, I know. How can this general still covet this banknote of yours?"

After taking it and reading it over and over again twice, Song Minyun also wanted to take a look. He coughed lightly, and Cheng Lao Hu understood and quickly took it to show his wife.

"Wife, take a look too."

Song Minyun and Cheng Lao Hu nodded, "It's true."

The officials around him also turned around, and the minister pointed at the banknotes in his hand and said, "Really, it's real, it really was made up."

Seeing how excited they were, Qin Yan's eyes changed and he hurried to explain.

"Ahem, all the techniques are techniques, they don't come out of thin air, hehe."

Only then did the court officials stop worrying.

Only those few prairie princes were truly shocked.

Wulihan applauded passionately, "I didn't expect this trip to Dongwu to be so wonderful. The performance was so magical. I have never seen it before. It was so wonderful."

Timur snorted coldly and drank. "Humph, it's just a trick to attract attention. If it were on the grassland, it would have been trampled to death by horses. It's useless."

Amur and his companion drank and watched the performance, applauding and praising along with the crowd, but there was a dark gleam in their eyes, showing that they were not honest.

The emperor on the high platform was very proud when he heard the praises from the princes. He thought that this kid Qin was good and he really scared them. However, it was unreasonable that they still asked Qin how he did it after the meeting.

No one paid any attention to Timur's dissatisfaction. The officials of Dongwu were disdainful, saying that you guys on the grassland don't even have this kind of thing, why are you so proud?

Qin Yan performed two small magic tricks, which raised everyone's enthusiasm.

"Ahem, be quiet, today's performance is over. Finally, it's time for today's highlight."

With a snap of her fingers, Jiang Zhi asked the eunuch to carry up a viewing platform more than one meter high.

The young eunuch placed the viewing stand in the center of the stage.

After the young eunuch went down, a palace maid came up with a tray in her hand, on which was something covered with a red cloth.

Put the tray on the viewing stand and stand back there, waiting.

Qin Yan walked to the viewing platform and put his hands on both sides of the viewing platform.

"Everyone, this is the last exciting moment of this auction. Ding ding ding, compete for the items."

Inside the tray was a glittering horse with one foot stepping on a swallow, its entire body suspended in the air.

"This object is called 'Horse Stepping on Flying Swallow', which is a true representation of the poem 'Raising the whip to compete with the birds to fly'! Its bold conception and romantic technique give people a thrilling feeling, which is amazing."

Everyone was attracted by the glittering and colorful surface and exclaimed in amazement.

The right prime minister was also attracted. "This thing is really wonderful. 'Horse Stepping on Flying Swallow' is such a simple and clear name. This swallow is the only support point. It's incredible."

The emperor on the high platform was also very excited. "This kid Qin has such a good thing but he didn't even think of giving one to me. Instead, he sold it here. Really, humph."

Seeing the emperor having a bad temper, the queen, in accordance with her duty as queen, gently stroked the back of his hand to comfort him.

"Why does the emperor say so? Didn't Qin Xiannan tell the emperor a long time ago that 70% of the proceeds from today's auction will be used for the national treasury, 10% will be given to the Ministry of Works, and 20% will be kept by him. Why are you so sad now?"

The emperor was embarrassed when his stage was exposed. "Well, Queen, please save some face for me and watch from the stage."

The queen shook her head and chuckled.

"Now, please start bidding. The starting price is fifty taels of silver, and the bid can be increased by ten taels of silver at a time."

Cheng Lao Hu didn't understand and asked, "What does this mean? Can't we just buy it right away?"

Qin Yan cleared his throat, "This time is different, General Cheng, there is only one of this thing, you like it and others like it too, so only the one with the highest bid can win, that's fair, after three reminders, the final decision will be made if no one raises the price."

Cheng Lao Hu grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Isn't this just a scam?"

Qin Yan didn't hear it, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.

"Okay, now we're going to start the first auction. If you're interested, you can raise your signs."

Suddenly, the place was completely quiet. No one wanted to be the first to speak, and everyone was observing other people's reactions.

The Right Prime Minister really liked it. Seeing that no one was bidding, he picked up the sign on his table and waved it.

Qin Yan was quick to respond, "Okay, the Right Prime Minister will pay fifty taels of silver. Anyone else want to raise the price?"

"Fifty taels per time!"

When the people behind saw the Right Prime Minister make a bid, they looked left and right and did not move. They did not dare to compete with the Right Prime Minister. They just sat there and waited for the bid to fall into the Right Prime Minister's hands.

"Fifty taels for the second time!" Qin Yan reminded for the second time.

The Left Prime Minister, who was sitting next to the Right Prime Minister, was not afraid. He picked up the sign and held it above his head.

"Okay, Prime Minister Zuo will give you sixty taels. Do you have any more?"

Qin Yan knocked with the small hammer in his hand, shaking it in his hand.
