Chapter 147 Profiteering
Jiang Min took out the second bottle of liquid medicine, and looked at the people around him affectionately. "I don't need to say, I believe that everyone sitting here has heard various rumors about typhoid fever in Kyoto recently."

After finishing speaking, he paused, looked at the people around him, and continued. "Since it's just a rumor, then we at Wujitang can't verify the truth of this matter. But here, I can assure you that if you really encounter typhoid fever, this liquid medicine sold by our Wujitang can definitely save you temporarily One life, I will buy you more than ten days of treatment time."

After Jiang Min finished speaking, Xia He saw that everyone on the first floor was secretly calculating.

"Okay, next, we will continue to auction the second bottle. The base price is still 1000 taels, and the price will increase by 1000 taels each time. The highest bidder will win."

After Jiang Min's words fell, the people downstairs started shouting prices again.

"1000 taels!"

"2000 taels!"

Xia He didn't know how high the price could be called this time, but she could clearly feel that the person who called the price this time was not as rich and powerful as last time.

Ye Jiu, who was beside her, obviously felt her nervousness, and comforted her aloud. "Don't be nervous, this is just an appetizer. The real patron is the person in the private room on the second floor."

"Second floor?" When he said this, Xia He remembered that from the first bottle of medicinal liquid, these people in the room on the second floor had been calm, as if they had never participated in the bidding from the beginning to the end.

"What do they mean? Not interested? Or testing?" Xia He asked.

Ye Jiu smiled and told her with certainty. "It's watching the battle, and it's also a test. Who told you to take out ten parts of the liquid medicine! They all have deep confidence in their own financial resources and strength, and they always feel that the rest must be in their own pockets, so let's find out first."

Xia He was speechless for a while after hearing Ye Jiu's words.

Sure enough, as Ye Jiu said.

On the first floor, when a man was full of confidence and felt that the liquid medicine was about to belong to him, there was also a price call from a private room on the second floor.

Immediately afterwards, there was another price call from another private room.

Then, the third room, the fourth room, the fifth room...

Soon, Xia He discovered that there was nothing wrong with the first floor when the price was called on the second floor.

She found that except for their own wing, it seemed that all the rooms on the second floor were involved, and began to bid.

And the price of the second bottle is also rising steadily.

When another round was over, the second bottle was sold to a private room on the second floor at a high price of 8 taels.

Downstairs Jiang Min smiled and saluted the honored guest in the private room on the second floor. "The next auction is still our liquid medicine, but the auction method is different this time. This time, we no longer sell bottles one by one, but three bottles together. The base price is 5000 taels, and the price will increase by 2000 taels each time. , still the highest price gets it.”

After hearing what Jiang Min said about the way of selling medicinal liquid, Xia He turned to look at Ye Jiu. "You Wujitang can also think of this way, I really can't help but admire it."

Ye Jiu smiled lightly and said nothing, the two of them turned their attention to Jiang Min at the same time.

In the end, the three bottles of medicinal liquid were sold to someone in the private room of the Tianzi Room on the second floor at a high price of 30 taels.

When Xia He heard Jiang Min say that the next auction would be the last one tonight, she looked at Jiang Min on the stage in astonishment.

Listen to her. "The last five bottles of the liquid medicine will be auctioned together, with a base price of 2 taels, and an increase of 1 taels each time."

Xia He couldn't help but raise her heart, she looked at Ye Jiu stiffly, and said nervously. "The profiteer!"

Ye Jiu was not annoyed when she heard what she said, instead she smiled softly and looked calmly at the first floor.

When Xia He heard that Jiang Min had ended tonight's auction with a sky-high price of 80 taels of silver, she slumped on the chair, feeling her head was empty.

Ye Jiu poured her a cup of tea and held it in her hand. "How is it? Are you satisfied?"

Xia He just wanted to say: Satisfied, very satisfied.

And in fact, she really said so.

After hearing her words, Ye Jiu smiled happily.

When they walked out of the Wuji Hall, everyone learned from the boy who saw off the guests at the door that the auctions held twice a month in the Wuji Hall broke the previous calendar. There will be a total of four auctions this month, and the remaining three auctions will not be delayed. The time will continue for three consecutive days starting from tomorrow.

When the two left Wuji Hall, both Xia He and Ye Jiu took the masks at hand and put them on.

On the carriage back to Uncle Zhongyi's mansion, Xia He smiled and narrowed his eyes while counting the money.

night nine. "You love money so much!"

Xia He didn't even lift her head. "I like it! Don't you like it?"

Xia He's natural words made Ye Jiu speechless.

After counting the money, Xia He held the bank note happily.She looked at the thick stack of banknotes in her hand and asked Ye Jiu.

"Say, should I give you some more liquid medicine?"

Ye Jiu shook his head. "Things are rare and expensive. This works the best. If you give more, then no one will snap."

Xia He nodded. "That's still as we agreed before, I only give ten bottles of medicinal liquid every day."

Ye Jiu nodded. "Everything is going according to plan. You just need to be ready for the last day."

Xia He nodded cautiously. "I see."

More and more people were infected with typhoid fever, but Liuheting's medicine for treating typhoid fever was hindered by His Royal Highness the eldest princess, and it has not been available for a long time.

Now, Xia He only hopes that these three days will pass in a blink of an eye.

In this way, more people can be saved earlier, and those who are suffering from illness can be released from the sea of ​​suffering as soon as possible.

When Xia He got off the carriage when he arrived at Uncle Zhongyi's mansion, Xia Tingquan happened to be back at this time.

"Sister!" Xia Tingquan was surprised to see Xia He standing beside the carriage when he lifted the curtain of the car.

Xia He looked at Xia Tingquan who was jumping off the carriage, and then turned to look at Ye Jiu who opened the curtain and was about to tell her a few words.

For a moment, her reaction was faster than her brain.

She stretched out her hand and pulled down Yejiu's car curtain, and hurriedly said to Qingyi. "Qingyi, send your grandfather back to the mansion quickly."

Qingyi: ...

He just pretended not to hear Xia He's words.

He is the bodyguard next to his grandfather and only follows his orders.

Even if the woman who told him in front of him is someone in the Lord's heart, that won't work.

Seeing that Qingyi didn't listen to him at all, Xia He was extremely embarrassed.

But she looked at Xia Tingquan who had already walked towards them, and became even more anxious.

Just when she was in a hurry and at a loss, Ye Jiu's cold and heartless voice sounded from the carriage.

"Qingyi, let's go."

"Yes!"

Almost at the moment Qing Yi finished speaking, the horse under him went forward without a driver.

Xia He: ...

Finished!

It must be over.

Xia He had a premonition that Ye Jiu was really angry this time.If she just let him leave like this, it would be difficult to reconcile in the future.

"Sister, who is that?" Just as Xia He was secretly annoyed, Xia Tingquan had already come to her side.

Xia He turned around and looked at the carriage that Xia Tingquan was sitting in not far away, gritted his teeth secretly, lifted the hem of his skirt and headed towards the carriage.
