Chapter 378
Tangxi didn't ask a word, and immediately opened a hidden compartment, and took out a plate of black wooden beads from it.Some have numbers written on them, and some have millions and millions written on them.

Tangxi took out a five or one thousand wooden ball from the lacquer tray.Open a replica on the floor and throw the wooden ball directly into the small hole exposed behind the flip.

Soon, the sound of rolling wooden balls could be heard in the whole Mancui Building. It is estimated that the bids from each room gathered in one place along the slideway of the small hole.

After a while, Yao Yu and the others received the results of the first round of bidding.

Qin Zhongzhi faced the copper pipe: "The highest bid in the first round is [-] taels."

After speaking, there was no sound in the copper pipe.Apparently no attempt was made to say who paid the highest price at all.

Tang Xi followed up and asked: "May I ask Mr. Da Lang what bid he will make in the next round? Mr. Da Lang may not bid if he wants to."

None of the four on Liu Song's side expected that someone would bid [-] taels in the first round.Logically speaking, shouldn't they all test each other out first?

Tan Zhi said coldly: "It seems that someone wants to suppress the momentum of several other parties in one fell swoop."

The four people who were still taunting each other just now, wishing they could fight each other, now had no choice but to become one.

Xie Huilian said: "Why don't we not bid first? Add it later, so that the price will not be raised all the way."

Wang Wulang also nodded, "If you keep asking each other for prices, it is easy to arouse each other's aggressiveness. On the contrary, when you are sure of winning, it is easier for people to give up when you are stabbed and forced by others."

Tan Can remained silent.My younger sister just wants to raise the price so that she can take the opportunity to cheat the emperor.But as an envoy of the Song Dynasty, it is difficult for him to ignore his duties, which is really contradictory.

Tan Zhi thought for a while and asked Tangxi, "What will happen if we don't bid in the next round?"

Tangxi said bluntly: "If someone bids more than [-] taels, it doesn't matter if the gentlemen don't bid. It's just that everyone is thinking about the last bargain, and no one bids more than [-] taels in the second round. If so, Yuxi will It belongs to the party who bid [-] taels in the first round."

The four young men frowned.This kind of betting is different from brothel brothels. You have no way of knowing whether others will bid, and how much they will bid.This forced people like them who wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight first, and then make a move in the end to also have to follow suit.

As long as everyone bids, the price of this jade seal will undoubtedly rise.

"Why don't we bid [-] taels?" Tan Can tentatively said, "This way the price will not be raised too much, but it won't prevent people from taking away the jade seal with [-] taels."

After Tan Can finished speaking, he went to look at Tan Zhi, Tan Zhi thought about it and nodded.Tangxi immediately took out the corresponding black wooden beads from the lacquered wooden tray.When Qin Zhongzhi's voice came out from the copper tube again, asking all parties to make a second round of bidding, Tangxi threw the black wooden ball into the small hole on the ground.

At the same time, the wooden balls in other rooms rolled out one after another.Tan Can lay down on the ground and listened for a while, but couldn't tell which direction the ball came from and which direction it didn't.

Wang Wulang was also curious, but his status as the son of the clan made him unable to lie on the ground to listen anyway, and could only stretch his neck to look at Tan Can.

Tangxi couldn't help laughing and said: "Mr. Erlang, you don't even know who is in which room, even if you hear the direction of the ball, you can't guess why."

Hearing this, Tan Can stood up in embarrassment, and was about to explain a few words, when Qin Zhongzhi's voice came from the brass pipe, "The highest bid in the second round is [-] taels. All six are the same."

……

All four of them had deflated expressions.I thought I was smart and good at calculating, but I didn't expect that everyone had the same idea.

And what's even more embarrassing is that the next three rounds all ended with an increase of one thousand taels.The price of Chuan Guo Yuxi climbed slowly like a turtle.

At the end of the fifth round, the price of the jade seal became [-] taels.

Wang Wulang and Xie Huilian, who didn't know it, had already started to feel a little anxious.But Tan Zhi felt that it was good to go on like this, just to delay the time.

At this time, there was a sound of rattling and rattling gears in the walls of the room.Tangxi walked to a hidden compartment, pushed open the flap, and took out a plate of tea and snacks from it.

"The gentlemen must be thirsty too, so drink a cup of tea first to moisten your throat."

Tangxi poured tea for the four of them and put some snacks on the cloth.The teacup is so small that it really only holds a sip of tea.The refreshments were also very small, which made the brothers of the Tan family who had not attended the banquet very depressed.Such a big snack is not enough to fit between the teeth, how can you fill your stomach?

Tan Can murmured and threw the dim sum into his mouth, and complained to his eldest brother, "My sister must have heard that you doubted her just now, so she deliberately only gave us such a small amount of food!"

Tan Zhi didn't bother to talk to him, his mind was full of thoughts about how to bid next.Maybe Yu'er deliberately stopped the betting with refreshments, and the price of Yuxi might change in the sixth round.

Sure enough, in the sixth round, although Tan Zhi still insisted on only raising the price by [-] taels, the highest bid had already reached [-] taels.For countries like Beiyan and Xiqin, [-] taels is almost their annual tax income.

This price jump is like a single stone stirring up thousands of waves.After only two rounds, the price of Yuxi became one hundred thousand taels.

Although Tan Zhi and the others still don't know who the bidder is.But looking at the rising trend of the price, it is estimated that it is not the same bid.Otherwise, how about pressing yourself and having fun?

Qin Zhongzhi and Tan Yaoyu were always listening to the movement in each room.Qin Zhongzhi was a little worried, "Girl, the price has risen so fast, I'm afraid that Yuxi won't finish repairing it."

Tan Yaoyu was listening intently to the whispers coming from the copper pipe, she lowered her voice and said almost angrily: "Do you trust that old man of the Ying family? Even if he repairs the jade seal, we will fall It's in Yingfeng's hands. Instead of doing this, it's better to raise the price and attract them to snatch it. As long as the jade seal is lost outside of Qiuchi, it has nothing to do with us."

Qin Zhongzhi was puzzled: "Without Yuxi, how will the two gentlemen go back to the Southern Song Dynasty?"

Tan Yaoyu raised his eyebrows and smiled mysteriously, "The second brother told me secretly just now that Liu Yilong only prepared [-] taels, and if they exceed this amount, let them give up the jade seal."

Qin Zhongzhi was surprised, "Could it be that the girl didn't intend to let Liu Songying?"

Tan Yaoyu nodded, "If you lose the bet, you will suffer at most. It will not endanger your father's status in the court. If you take a fake one back, Yingfeng is Liu Yilong's confidant, and it is difficult to distinguish friends from enemies. There's a sword hanging over my head!"

Qin Zhongzhi curled his lips, he just saw Tan Can's posture, but it was inevitable, he thought the girl would definitely help him...

　Need to think about the next one, today is an update.

　　It's not good to be thankful at all, so let's make fun of you and give a reward.
