Chapter 251: The Prince’s Shaa
No one saw the unwillingness in Princess Ling Meng’s eyes Though the eyes of the black robed people behind her shi+ned as they looked at those bottles of wine
“Since the Princess is bidding, I will make no further bids I will bid later It’s unlikely that soht?” Hai Chen Feng’s deant He smiled to show his benevolence as hebids one million and five hundred thousand silver taels for the second batch of fifty wine bottles Is there no higher bid for theher bid? Oneonce… Onetwice… Onefor the third ti!” The ha was extre’ sound when the final call was hed so hard that his eyes turned to slits, “This Fatty really leaves etting married!” (1)
“Pfft” Jun Wu Yi spit out a hed The Third Master of the Jun Fa — notheYuan had obviously shouted “bid!”, but the Young Master Jun had altered it to “getting uy?]
The First Prince spoke up as soon as the third batch was introduced for auction, “This Prince has taken a fancy to this commodity I bid six hundred thousand for this fine wine!”
Atop the stage, Tang Yuan rolled his eyes as he thought, [Bah! I think you’re full of shi+t! The first batch was auctioned for over five million, and the second batch was auctioned for one million and five hundred thousand Yet you unexpectedly bid a price which is only a little higher than the base price?! Moreover, this tone of yours is not one of competition ‘I bid six hundred thousand for this fine wine!’ …this is obviously a warning; ‘don’t mess with me, I am the First Prince!’ Such shamelessness ah!]
The First Prince smiled as he uests and said, “Would anyone like to bid? This auction entlemen This First Prince will not mind if you bid”
Everyone’s face twitched as they cursed him in secrecy; [did you say that you won’t ‘hter the person who bids’? Will you reallyYuan hadn’t had the ti’s voice resounded He coughed and cleared his throat before he said, “Your Majesty the First Prince has spoken the truth The price h Therefore, I bid one million silver taels; as I had done earlier”
“Oh?” The First Price sood outlook on things If that is the case, this Prince will bid onehesitated for a ain However, he quietly sat down
This continued for the next sixteen batches of wine Hai Chen Feng made a bid for each batch And each time he was unable to make the purchase One million and five hundred had apparently become the fixed rate for the auction These sixteen batches were auctioned off to the ot to walk aith the wine once they bid one million and five hundred thousand
The stock of three thousand bottles of as already short of nine hundred by now
The people sitting in the rows behind made no attempts to bid They obviously didn’t dare to
However, they couldn’t help but scratch their cheeks in anxiety
[Not u Wudi’s face had already become as dark as charcoal
This time… he was truly done for The first nine hundred bottles had been auctioned for an astronomical price of thirty million silver taels And noould have to compensate more than twenty five million in silver since Jun Mo Xie’s base price of ten thousand taels per bottle had been bettered Moreover, further two-thousand-plus bottles of this wine still remained
[I esti a crazy seventy million by the time it coure is what I would owe hih the Dugu Faet that seventythey oouldn’t be enough to settle this debt
[Would I have to use hter to repay the debt?]
[How can this be any good? Would I really have to use hter to settle this loan? This bears down on est joke in the Tian Xiang Empire? People will say that we couldn’t even afford our wine… that we had to send our daughter to someone’s fau Wudi sighed deeply His anxiety eighing him down [I should not have made that bet! I should’ve never added that line in particular… that I would co to the price his as auctioned at! Isn’t this like burying inally, I would’ve had no option but to pay the twenty five million However, the price is now at one million and five hundred thousand per batch That’s around thirty thousand per bottles This would mean that my family would have to pay at least seventy five et about doing this alone… even the entire Dugu Fah up so e, Tang Yuan was pushi+ng his throat by shouting-it-hoarse in exciteht now, the princes, the nobility and thetheir mouths to yell out their bids Every individual’s voice was loud since they feared that they would lose out
Tang Yuan was also teasing the out batches of fifty bottles But when the time came to remove them off the table he’d do it one-by-one-by-one…
Everyone was afraid of not being able to buy a wine bottle, and losing their hard earned aristocratic identity The ressively and openly they’d participate for fear of being outdone And the price seemed to increase because of this
