seven steps

auction

It was a rare holiday, so Yinzhen took Yinhu out of the palace.Although the two of them went out of the palace not often, but there were still a few times.It was rare for Yinhu to say that he was going to buy some gadgets for Yinxiang back home, so Yinzhen went shopping with him and bought things for children, so naturally a place like Tianqiao was the most suitable place.They have been here before, but they came and went in a hurry. It can be said that they are just passing by, but this time they are here to visit.

The flyover is naturally crowded with people as always.Although the road is not narrow, there are small vendors setting up stalls and shouting beside the shops on both sides of the road. I have never looked at these small vendors carefully before. If I take a closer look today, it turns out that it is really interesting.Although the things sold here are not as exquisite and luxurious as those used in the palace, they are rare and lovely and fresh.For example, this hairy monkey is made of cicada slough and other medicinal materials.And the little porcelain doll over there, the candied haws and sweet-scented osmanthus cake.Sometimes you can see entertainers and jugglers.

"Fourth brother, why didn't I think this bridge was fun before. Now I really take a closer look, it's really a good place."

"You mainly look at the freshness. If you are asked to come every day, you will definitely find it boring."

Yinhu looked at the people around him, everyone was busy with their own lives, but more, there was an indifferent and simple feeling on his face.

"Fourth brother, tell me, if we also live this kind of life, how about it? Will it be easy to satisfy and happy?"

"If you're not in your position, you don't know your worries."

"Ok?"

"You can see that their life is simpler than ours, but you don't see them working from sunrise to sunset. They do all this just to eat. Similarly, they will envy our life. "

After Yinhu heard this, he continued to look at the crowd around him. "Yeah, maybe, people are like this, the more they get, the more they want."

"Yes."

Yinhu didn't want to continue this topic anymore, and looked at the mansion in front of him, there was a lot of people inside. "Fourth brother, let's go in and have a look."

"it is good."

When the two walked to the door, the welcoming Xiao Er immediately invited them in, with a very good attitude.Yinzhen Yinhu didn't pay much attention and stepped in directly.I saw a stage like a stage, and there were people sitting under it.At first, I thought it was an opera singer, but I saw a boss-like person walking up.

"Song is here to thank everyone for coming. There are a few items auctioned in the store today, and friends who are interested should not miss them."

"Fourth brother, what is an auction?"

Yinzhen knew that Yinhu had never seen an auction, so he explained, "The boss takes out a few items and quotes a base price, and those who want them will increase the price, and the one with the highest price will get it."

"Fourth brother, let's take a look."

"it is good."

After talking, the two found a seat and sat down.Soon the boss ordered the first thing.

"This is the first auction item. It is a sword from the Song Dynasty. It can be broken at the first blow. The reserve price is 1000 taels."

As soon as the boss pulled out the sword, he heard a "hum" sound from the blade.The cold light suddenly appeared.So the following began to shout "200 taels."

"2000 taels."

"Three thousand 400 taels"

"4000 taels"

"5000 taels"

"1 taels"

Everyone was in an uproar, the 1 taels could be used for disaster relief. Yinzhen looked sideways and found that he was a student of the Eight Banners.The father of the family is a second-rank official in the imperial court, and the son of a second-rank official was able to sell 1 taels of silver. Yinzhen sneered.

In the end, the sword naturally belonged to the Eight Banners disciple.

The boss smiled and invited the second auction item, "This is the red agate Buddhist beads from the Tang Dynasty. The reserve price is 30 taels."

Yinzhen looked at the Buddhist beads in the boss's hand, and didn't show much expression, just looked at it.

"40 taels"

"50 taels"

"80 taels" was yelled by Yinhu.

Yinzhen turned to look at him, frowning slightly.

Yinhu returned a reassuring smile.Yinhu successfully photographed this string of beads.Yinzhen thought he wanted to buy it back for Concubine Liang, after all Concubine Liang recited Buddha's name every day.Nothing could be better than giving it to her.

Yinhu paid the silver and got the beads.It really is a good object, the whole body is ruddy and lustrous, without any impurities, and the most rare thing is that each bead is very transparent.

"Fourth brother, you have to put it away."

"What?" Yinzhen didn't respond.

Yinhu smiled and stuffed the Buddhist beads into Yinzhen's hand. "Fourth brother, you look cold-tempered, but in fact you are too extreme, your temper is too strong, and you can't tolerate sand in your eyes. I don't know what is said in the Buddhist scriptures, but I always listen to Er Niang, and I still remember a sentence All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles, like dew or electricity, and should be viewed as such. Fourth brother, I give you this prayer bead, just to hope that you can always calm down and take a good look at things, otherwise you will offend many people. It's always bad for you."

Yinzhen looked at the string of red agate beads in his hand, and nodded. "I see."

"Well, fourth brother, you have to take good care of yourself so that you can protect me. Don't forget your promise."

Yinzhen smiled, he will not forget. "Let's go, don't you still have to buy things for the thirteenth brother, it will be too late if you don't go."

"it is good."

Speaking of this question, Yinzhen suddenly stopped and asked, "Answer me honestly, how did you get so much money? 80 taels is not a small sum."

"Hey, fourth brother, I have saved all the rewards from the palaces in the past, and it is useless if I can't get them out, so I still have 80 taels."

Yinzhen didn't doubt it either, and nodded, believing it.But Yinhu did not lie. In fact, he always wanted to give Yinzhen something, but he didn't know what to give. After all, he didn't want Yinzhen to always take the things he wanted to give, but hoped that he would always carry them close to his body. I happened to see this string of Buddhist beads today, so of course I wanted to buy it as a gift to Yinzhen.It can be regarded as an end to his own worries.

The two walked around, and finally bought some hairy monkeys of different shapes for Yinxiang, such as some little clay figurines or something.The two of them returned to the palace with big bags and small bags. For the first time, they didn't have the little eunuch by their side, but they still knew that there were guards following them in the dark.

When they returned to the palace, those guards also went to Kangxi to report the situation, when Kangxi knew that Yinhu had photographed the string of beads, or when he heard the conversation.He didn't speak, but quietly thought about the two children.His eyes turned back to the memorial on the desk case.It would be great if all the children in the palace were like the two of them.Another sigh.This emperor's seat is not easy to sit in.Why just don't understand.
