Chapter 969 (1/2)
Xiao Zhizhong looked askance at the handsome man in green at the door of three or four rooms away from him. His face began to jerk involuntarily. He had a bad start. He thought that no one would bid. Who could have thought that the handsome young man next to him would dare to raise the price.
When Xiao Zhizhong looked at Yan Lingbin, Yan Lingbin also looked back at the past. She was not interested in the affairs of the imperial court. Even officials such as the county magistrate and don't drive were all senior officials in her eyes. Naturally, she couldn't recognize Xiao Zhizhong, who was close to the door and had a blue face, was the official's servant.
Of course, it is even more impossible for her to think that behind Xiao Zhizhong are Bai Chun, who is frowning, and Li Ye, who is staring at each other.
”Not all the rich merchants in Chang'an City want to buy slaves today? How about this Let it go first? ” Li Ye swallowed his saliva and asked his aunt Bai for advice.
What's more, he doesn't think the woman whose age is similar to him downstairs can be worth two thousand taels of silver, but is just a skinny maid. Since the offer is higher there, just give it to him.
”No, these people are all officials to private people. Before they became slaves, their status was not simple. Now some people are willing to pay two thousand Liang silver to buy them, which shows that there may be some secret hidden in the little lady.” Bai Chun lightly shakes her head and signals Xiao Zhizhong to continue to increase the price. She doesn't believe that there are more rich masters in Chang'an, even in the whole Tang Dynasty!
What's more, in her heart, she has already decided that the identity of the 13-4-year-old girl downstairs must have something to do with Zheng Ruyi. Otherwise, why could Zheng Ruyi be called five hundred taels at once?
Xiao Zhizhong looked at Li Ye and Bai Chun, then nodded slightly and said in a deep voice to the man beside him: ”two thousand and one hundred Liang.”
After hearing the price of 2100 Liang, the grandmother downstairs was so happy that she almost fainted. The maid originally had the most silver of 100 Liang. Besides, she had to be the little lady beside her who had excellent background and background.
So even in her dream, she did not think that a maid could bid more than two thousand taels. Moreover, judging from the posture of the other side, it seemed that she would continue to increase the price.
Is there anything different about the little lady next to me? But when she looked left and right, she didn't see a clue. Apart from being able to identify that the little lady must be a full beauty when she grows up, there is nothing else that can make people pay high prices.
”Two thousand five hundred taels.” Yan Lingbin nodded to the man next to him, and the man immediately raised his hand and shouted.
The grandmother could feel her heart trembling, and even her limbs began to shake because of her excitement. Her lips trembled and her eyes flashed. With the price rising, she had decided that the little lady must have something special that she couldn't see. However, the two families did not give in to each other. Obviously, they didn't mean to raise the price, stir up the market, but were determined to buy.
As a grandmother in law, she has been in this business for so many years, so even from the atmosphere of fierce fighting between the two families, you can still smell whether they really want to buy or whether they want to.
After the price of 2500 taels was quoted, Cui Xin's look became more and more gloomy. His form is a bit difficult to get off now. In front of the public, it is no good to stop buying and selling, but continue to shout. Who knows who will be the unlucky one in the end?
If Xiao Zhizhong was working for the imperial court to check himself, no matter how much he quoted, he would be nonsense. In the end, he would never get a cent of the money himself.
Xiao Zhizhong listened to the handsome man who raised four hundred taels of silver. The whole person felt bad at once, 2500 taels. In normal times, it would be enough to buy 30 slaves.
Xiao Zhizhong, who frowns, is also very clear in his heart that these personnel are of great importance. If he only competes with the young master who is not far away, he will not be able to grasp the control of the criminal department at that time.
So he took a deep breath and watched Zheng Ruyi, under the leadership of a clerk, had come to the door of the handsome young man with the deed of sale and the documents of the dental trade in his hand.
Zheng Ruyi looks at Xiao Zhizhong at the door in the distance. Her heart is trembling. She just came out with the deed of sale and other things from behind. She doesn't know what happened in the hall just now.
So at the moment, looking at Xiao Zhizhong's pale face and helpless appearance, he looked sad and looked at the young and expensive young man who bought him.
Li Hong has been sitting high on the Diaoyutai. He doesn't care about the price call in the hall. Let alone Changan, which is the whole Tang Dynasty, he doesn't believe who can have more money than Bai Chun, so he relaxed his mind and let Yan Lingbin ask for the price all over the world.
Zheng Ruyi looks back at Xiao Zhizhong with a sad look again. Then she slowly enters the room and stands in a corner. As a maid, she is not even qualified to salute.
Stunned, Xiao Zhizhong looks at Zheng Ruyi's body disappearing. He forgets to respond to his grandmother's question for a moment, and then another maid is bought by Yan Lingbin.
She spent 2500 taels to buy the little lady, but Yan Lingbin's face did not smile at all. Although she had never experienced this situation, she did not allow others to bid and then played the piano for others when she was in Huafang.Bai Chun frowns. Xiao Zhizhong is not very satisfied with her. She is still a little bit close to the royal family. Although no one has mentioned it any more, Xiao Zhizhong has been cautious all his life. Even in the official affairs, he only seeks to make no mistakes, and his political achievements are not very good in Li Hong's eyes.
