Red Dust Daqian

Zhou Sen looked innocent, and apologized to Shen Qianrou repeatedly as if he had done something wrong. Shen Qianrou was angry and didn't understand.

However, Zhou Sen turned around and shouted to the people in Baihua Garden: "I don't know the price, but I can't take it back. Since I've said it, the starting price is 100 taels, so it's 100 taels. No matter what the final transaction price is, I will accept it whether I make a loss or a profit. Sound the gong three times..."

Before Zhou Sen finished speaking, the audience started shouting out prices one after another, 100 taels, 200 taels, 300 taels... in a chaotic manner. Zhou Sen and Shen Qianrou smiled at each other secretly, this atmosphere was exactly what they wanted.

Zhou Sen quickly struck the gong to stop the crowd, shouting, "It's too chaotic to bid like this. Everyone listen to my command. After the gong sounds, bid in an orderly manner." Zhou Sen's shouting had no effect. The people in Baihua Garden continued to bid their own prices, and it was not until the bidding price rose all the way to 2000 taels of silver that things gradually became orderly.

Finally, I could tell which bidder the voices came from. The owner of the Baisheng Restaurant bid: 2200 taels of silver. Guard Liu followed suit and bid: 2300 taels of silver. Another big-necked boss bid: 2600 taels of silver. Not to be outdone, the boss of the Qian Family Pawnshop directly bid: 3000 taels of silver.

When the bid reached 3000 taels of silver, the onlookers gasped. The people who initially bid at a low price were now completely reduced to spectators. They began to express shock at the high prices in the Hundred Flowers Garden.

Guard Liu then called out: 3100 taels of silver. The pawnshop owner raised the price to: 3500 taels of silver. This caused the audience to scream in surprise.

No one continued to bid, so Zhou Sen shouted to the crowd: "The price of the glass wolf has reached 3500 taels. If no one exceeds this price, three gongs will be sounded to lock the price, and this thing will belong to you..." Before he finished speaking, Ouyang Zongxin also joined in the fun and bid: 3800 taels. There was another round of cheers from the audience.

Zhou Sen hesitated for a moment and thought: Ouyang Zongxin is bidding, is he trying to stir up trouble? Is he deliberately disrupting the auction?

Seeing that Zhou Sen did not quote the price he had bid, Ouyang Zongxin shouted at Zhou Sen: "Ox Nose, what? Can't I bid? I also like this glass wolf." Without waiting for Zhou Sen to reply, the pawnshop owner Qian continued to bid: 4000 taels of silver. Ouyang Zongxin glared at the pawnshop owner Qian and cursed in his heart: Damn it, don't you want to get married? There are still people in Jiangxia Prefecture who dare to challenge me!

Many of the onlookers were shocked by the current offer and dared not say anything. This price was more money than they could earn in their entire lifetime.

Guard Liu also continued to bid: 4100 taels. Ouyang Zongxin was so angry that he directly bid 4500 taels of silver and spat directly: "Damn it, you want to compete with my Ouyang family in Jiangxia Prefecture, you don't want to live." After hearing what Ouyang Zongxin said, the pawnshop owner did not dare to continue bidding higher. The people should not fight against the officials. Ouyang Changzong was the governor of Jiangxia Prefecture, and he still wanted to stay in Jiangxia Prefecture.

Guard Liu secretly looked at the King of Chu, who nodded to indicate that he should continue to follow. Guard Liu bid: 4600 taels. Ouyang Zongxin bid: 4800 taels. Guard Liu bid: 4900 taels. Ouyang Zongxin bid: 5000 taels.

The King of Chu, who was sitting on the main podium at the moment, could no longer sit still. He was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He cursed in his heart: You are so good, Ouyang Changzong, you raised a blind son who dared to challenge my people and made me spend so much money. I will deal with you when I get back.

5000 taels of silver was a sky-high price for Guard Liu, so he didn't dare to bid any higher. The King of Chu didn't signal Guard Liu anymore, and he went on stage to bid: 5500 taels of silver. Ouyang Zongxin heard that someone else was still bidding, and wanted to scold who dared to dare to touch the emperor's head. He turned around and saw that the sound came from the direction of the King of Chu. Everyone looked in the direction of the King of Chu, wondering if they had heard it wrong. Did the King of Chu bid? The King of Chu also bid for the colored glaze with us, the common people?

While everyone was confused, the King of Chu calmly bid again to Zhou Sen: 5500 taels of silver.

Seeing the King of Chu personally bidding, everyone in the Hundred Gardens was silent, not even a word was said. This was the real Tai Sui, who dared to challenge him? At this time, Guard Liu quietly walked to Ouyang Zongxin and gloated: "Mr. Ouyang, you should know who has more financial resources in Jiangxia Prefecture now, just wait for the prince!" Ouyang Zongxin suddenly realized and regretted it. This Guard Liu turned out to be from the King of Chu's Mansion. No wonder he dared to challenge the Ouyang family in Jiangxia Prefecture. What should he do?

The King of Chu had already made his bid, and Zhou Sen knew that even if the auction was over, this price would be the highest. In Jiangxia Prefecture, or even in the entire Daqian, how many people dared to challenge the King of Chu?

Just as Zhou Sen was about to strike the gong to announce that the King of Chu had won the bid for the Glazed Wolf, Princess Wanning in the gauze tent shouted out a price of 6000 taels of silver. The whole place became even quieter, and one could hear a pin drop. Who was trying to kill himself by challenging the King of Chu?

After a moment of silence, everyone suddenly realized that the person in the gauze tent was Princess Wanning, who was also in Jiangxia Prefecture. But what did this mean? Did the royal family fight among themselves?

When Zhou Sen raised his hand and was hesitating whether to strike the gong to finalize the bid, the King of Chu raised his hand to stop Zhou Sen. Then he discussed with Princess Wanning, "Niece Wanning, do you like this glass wolf too? If you like it, you can give it to the princess after I bid for it. There is no need to bid against me and let others laugh at it."

Princess Wanning said calmly, "I just like it. My niece just wants to make more contributions to the people of Daqian. Didn't the demon say that all the money from the auction of the Glazed Wolf will be used for charity? 6000 taels of silver is not a lot of money."

The King of Chu said stingily, "I like this Glazed Wolf very much. Niece Wanning, could you please give it to me? I will donate this money to charity."

Wan Ning said calmly: "Then uncle, please continue to bid, and I, niece, will withdraw." Princess Wan Ning agreed, and the King of Chu bid again: 6100 taels of silver.

In the end, the price of the Glazed Wolf was set at 6100 taels of silver. The onlookers were all amazed. They didn't understand the world of the rich. These 6100 taels of silver were the food money for five or six thousand ordinary Daqian people for a year. Now, just for this shiny thing, they spent 6100 taels of silver.

Zhou Sen was also amazed. The publicity effect was achieved. The royal family participated in the auction of Qianmutang glass. Now Qianmutang had to be famous. But the problem was that there were many glass statues with better quality than the glass wolf in the warehouse of Qianmutang. How to sell them in the future? If they were sold in large quantities, would the King of Chu make trouble for Qianmutang? Qianmutang would definitely not be able to continue. This was not what Zhou Sen expected. He would have to discuss it with Shen Qianrou when he returned. At least in Jiangxia Prefecture, glass statues with quality higher than the glass wolf could not be sold in the future. It would take some time, or they could be shipped to Kyoto before being sold.
