The rich and noble peasant daughter
Chapter 136 Sky-high price, rich overnight
Chapter 136 Sky-high price, rich overnight
Under the radiance of this black peony, the other peonies were overshadowed.
Yun Xi's other two pots of peonies did not get full marks. She calculated that Er Qiao's score was higher than that of Luminous White. She might get the second place in addition to the number one prize.As for that pot of Yao Huang, the score is a bit higher than her Luminous White.
After the scores of the twenty pots of peonies were all selected, Yun Xi's Mo Yu became the leader in the crowd.The second place was also taken away by her Er Qiao. As for Bai Yiru, Yao Huang, who had robbed her from all over the world, finally got a No. [-] position.
The fourth place was won by the Wei family of the old peony family, and the pot raised by Mrs. Yu won the sixth position. This year's competition is really not small, and it is good to be ranked in the top ten. She is also very satisfied with this result of.
As soon as the results were announced, everyone was in an uproar. Among the top five, three places were Yun Xi, who was unknown in the past. She even surpassed those so-called peony families that have been in business for hundreds of years, and became the big winner of this Peony Festival. winner.
Rankings are determined in the morning and awards are presented in the afternoon.
When it was approaching noon, when everyone was about to leave for lunch, Chen Huo rushed out of the crowd and knelt down in front of the judges, "I beg the magistrate to be the master of the people."
This kind of drama made it clear that there was going to be a good show to watch next, and the people who were about to lift their feet out all shrank back, clasped their hands and prepared to watch the good show.
Yun Xi looked at Bai Yiru who was sitting next to her. The other person's face was normal, and he also looked at Yao Zhifu with a funny face, obviously he didn't recognize who Chen Huo was.It's normal to think about it. As a person who is used to giving orders and letting the subordinates act, how could she go to find Chen Huo in person, let alone know what the other party looks like.She probably felt that Yao Lin's face would not look good if such a thing happened at the Peony Festival.
Yun Xi was in a happy mood, waiting for the next plot.Chen Huo's attack this morning must have been allowed by Yao Lin.The relationship between the Yao family and the Bai family is not good, maybe they can take advantage of Bai Yiru's incident to severely discredit the Bai family's reputation.
Yao Lin's face was as usual, he was following the line of being close to the people, and his tone was kind, "If you have any grievances, you should go to the Yamen to beat the drums." The person who supports.
Two lines of clear tears flowed down Chen Huo's face, and he cried bitterly, "Chen Huo, the little man, I also ask the master to be the master for me and let them return my peony to me."
Yao Lin snorted, "What peony?"
Out of the corner of Yun Xi's eyes, she saw that Bai Yiru's expression changed drastically, her hand was tightly clutching the handkerchief, almost turning the handkerchief into dried pickles.
Chen Huo choked up and described his experiences these days one by one. His language was plain, but his emotion was sincere and moving.
In order to enjoy the Peony Festival with the people, there is no need to post on the fourth and fifth days, which means that many ordinary people in Danzhou prefecture have come in. Chen Huo's experience can resonate with them. Everyone I couldn't help being filled with righteous indignation for him.
"This is Yao Huang! It's too much to not give it back to others! I think someone has been greedy!"
"However, 100 taels is not a lot. It is enough to buy [-] mu of land."
"You are stupid, don't you know how precious Yaohuang is? You can sell it for hundreds of taels of silver."
Everyone was talking and the scene was noisy.
Yao Lin stretched out his hand and made a quiet movement of pressing down. As the magistrate, he was still very intimidating here, and everyone also wanted to see the follow-up treatment, so they all fell silent obediently.
Chen Huo wiped away his tears and continued: "I was severely beaten by those people. If it wasn't for a knight who happened to pass by and rescued me, I'm afraid my life would be lost. The group of people were sent to the Yamen, and after a day or two of recuperation, I really wanted to find justice for myself, so I braced myself and came to the venue." He said so many words in one breath, and couldn't help coughing.
After coughing for a while, I said, "I originally thought that my peony was just stolen by someone, and I wanted to come back. But just now I saw my pot of peony on the stage that was said to have been accidentally destroyed. My peony, which I have raised for several years, now has a different owner."
His voice trembled slightly, revealing deep grief and indignation.
Everyone's eyes fell directly on the high platform. Among the top [-] today, there are four pots of Yao Huang. Which pot is it?
Many people exchanged excited glances and guessed in their hearts.
Bai Yiru looked at this uncontrollable scene, her face turned pale, and she couldn't hold back anymore and said, "How dare you talk nonsense here! How could a person like you raise Yao Huang! Hurry up and get him out!"
She secretly scolded those useless hooligans in her heart. If she hadn't used her own people to be easily seen, she would not have bribed those people. Who knows that they can't even do such trivial things well.
Yun Xi said lightly: "Miss Bai, this year's No. [-] and No. [-] are all from me, a commoner girl. In your opinion, I am also someone who can't raise Moyu?" She won the award based on her strength.
The onlookers nodded, that's right, no matter how high Bai Yiru's status is, the peony she raised was crushed by Du Yunxi, and Du Yunxi still has a perfect score that is rare in a hundred years.
In addition, Bai Yiru's words were really suspected of firing a map cannon, and most of the people present were civilians, so she was immediately dissatisfied.
The courageous ones, relying on themselves in the crowd, said directly: "Why are you so excited? Could it be you who stole the peony from others? No one else said anything."
This man is also really sharp, and he can hit it with one blow.
As soon as he said it, others immediately thought the same.
"That's right, everyone else is very calm, and she is the only one who is chattering."
"I think she just has a guilty conscience."
"The eldest lady from the capital city, with this kind of virtue, she really has the skin of a beauty and the heart of a snake."
Bai Yi Ruqi's face was distorted, her beautiful facial features couldn't see the original beauty.
Yao Lin said indifferently: "Miss Bai's family is really majestic, can you really think this is the capital? Even if it is in the capital, it's not like your Bai family."
These words were really harsh, no matter how angry Bai Yi was, she did not dare to act wild in front of Yao Lin.
Yao Lin looked at Chen Huo and said, "Go on, if it's true, I will make the decision for you. You don't have to worry about being liquidated in the future. If something happens to you in the future, I will go there and rob you." Peony's family takes someone."
Yun Xi almost burst out laughing. What Zhifu Yao meant was that whenever something happened to Chen Huo, he would treat it as the fault of the Bai family.I'm afraid that even if the Bai family wants to punish Chen Huo again, they can only hold their noses to protect him, or they might be caught by political opponents and beat him up.
Bai Yi's face turned crooked, if she hadn't been concerned about the identity of the Bai family, if she hadn't been concerned about the number of people in the venue, at least tens of thousands of people, she might have cursed regardless of her image.Compared with anger and hatred, she is now more concerned about fear, and the development of the matter is obviously out of her control. If everything she has done is exposed, what should she do?I'm afraid that if it is sent back to the capital, she will not even think about being a human being.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Yun Xi was happy.You deserve it, if you choose to deceive the world and steal your name, you must have the awareness to be discovered.
Chen Huo pointed to Yao Huang who was placed on the stage, and said: "The third ranked Yao Huang was raised by the villain and his wife."
Undoubtedly, these words were like a bomb, and the venue was full of voices.Many judges subconsciously looked at Yao Lin—is it Miss Bai's family?If they uphold justice for Chen Huo, will they be hated by the Bai family?There are even more clever thoughts, and the magistrate is standing in front, what are they afraid of, why not take the opportunity to gain reputation.
As an actor, Yao Lin showed a serious expression just right, "Is what you said true? If you make a false accusation, then I can only sentence you to exile."
Chen Huo burst into tears, "Every word of the villain is true, and there is no falsehood. My wife and I personally built the branches and weeds, and we took care of them for several years. I watched them day and night, how could I not recognize them?" come out?"
His voice was mournful, condensed with hatred for Bai Yiru who took away the treasure of the heart.
Coupled with Bai Yiru's previous behavior, everyone couldn't help but favor her.The person who originally guessed it was Bai Yiru showed off happily to the left and right.
"I'll just say it's this vicious woman, right? She's really shameless, even more shameless than us ordinary people."
Bai Yiru screamed, "Tell me, who ordered you to frame me?" She firmly refused to admit it, she had already taken care of it, and all the evidence had been erased. No success!
Yao Lin said calmly: "Chen Huo, I can't convict Miss Bai based on your one-sided words. You have other evidence."
Bai Yi looked at Chen Huo viciously as if grasping at the last straw, "Yes, the evidence! If you don't show the evidence, you false accuser, I will definitely send you into exile for three thousand miles .”
Yao Lin snorted coldly, "Miss Bai, I don't know that as a white body, you still have the right to punish you, which is more powerful than Her Royal Highness the Princess."
These words can't be said to be ungrateful, and it is only by directly saying that the Bai family has evil intentions that Bai Yiru has such confidence.
Bai Yiru's face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth and said, "My little girl just lost her words because she was in a hurry because of being slandered."
Yao Lin didn't say anything, just looked at Chen Huo.
Chen Huo calmed down, and continued: "The peony flower pot itself was carved by Xiaomin himself, and Xiaomin also carved words on the inner bottom pot. Since Miss Bai said that the flower is yours, then Do you know what words are engraved in the flowerpot?"
Bai Yiru's body swayed, and the last trace of strength disappeared from her body.She never thought that Chen Huo would have such a trick, which made her doomed.She also thought that the flower pot was not worthy of her identity, and wanted to change it, but she was worried that the peony would inevitably be damaged during the transplanting process, so she could only hold her nose and make do with it, who knew that this would be a decisive decision that would overwhelm her. straw.She had... even boasted in front of people that she never left this peony in the hands of others, and she also chose the flowerpot.
At this time, Yao Lin no longer concealed his dislike for Bai Yiru, "Miss Bai, because of your identity, I can allow you to tell me what is carved in the flowerpot first, and if you are right, I will tell you This trickster who falsely accuses you will hit you with twenty boards."
Bai Yi, who had no way out, passed out as if her eyes went black.Her behavior is undoubtedly the so-called self-reporting.
The common people were immediately angry. Bai Yiru's act of stealing other people's peonies and taking possession of them, but also wanting to kill people to kill them, was too bad. In addition, Chen Huo was a low-level citizen like them, which made them even more angry. Vent the anger of being bullied on her.
"Bitch!" The angry one directly took out something from his bosom, and threw it towards Bai Yiru.
The aim of throwing it was not right, and almost threw it at Yun Xi's side, Yun Xi quickly dodged, took Mrs. Yu, and kept away from Bai Yiru first, so as not to suffer disaster.
Once the two of them left, the others would have nothing to worry about.Everyone wanted to follow suit, and everyone who had something on hand threw it away.
I don't know which wicked person it was, and threw the stone right away, and it was quite accurate, and it hit Bai Yiru's forehead directly, making a bloody hole.Bai Yiru was suddenly woken up by the pain, and her maids were also stunned. Facing the "garbage" flying all over the sky, she hurried forward to rescue the young lady. As a result, these maidservants who were usually like deputy ladies were also fucked. Discomfited.
The most amazing thing is that some people ran directly outside the venue, bought eggs, and divided them into each other. The three of them were all sticky, and Bai Yiru's head was covered with egg liquid.
Yun Xi patted her chest reassuringly, fortunately she ran fast enough, otherwise she might have suffered disaster.Madam Yu also sighed and shook her head.
The judges above watched the farce with black lines on their faces.
One of them was about to ask everyone to calm down, but an aunt pointed at him immediately and scolded: "Are you with that femme fatale, so you want to speak for her!"
The man shut his mouth immediately, and the others also looked at Yao Lin with help-seeking eyes.
Yao Lin was also treacherous, he waited until Bai Yiru was smashed into a mess before he said a few words to them lightly, and he changed the topic again.
"Okay, Chen Huo, can you tell us what is carved on the inside of your flower pot?"
Chen Huo lowered his head and said, "My wife and I's names are engraved inside, Chen Huo and Zhang Lan. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone to check it."
With a wave of Yao Lin's hand, he asked the gardener Old Wang to come over and transplant the peony into another flower pot.Old Wang lived up to his promise, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he calmly transplanted this year's Tanhua into another empty flowerpot. During the process, the leaves and flowers were not damaged, as if the peony had never been moved. Superb is evident.
One of Yao Lin's subordinates stepped forward to pick up the original flower pot, wiped the soil on it with a cloth, then nodded and said, "My lord, the names of Chen Huo and Zhang Lan are really engraved inside."
The man also showed the flower pots to the people surrounding the front, and let them act as witnesses for a while.Everyone was satisfied after watching such a lively scene and seeing the evidence with their own eyes.
Now that the evidence is solid, Bai Yiru's charges have been confirmed. Not only did she steal from people, but she also tried to kill people to silence her.What's more, I don't know what method the arresters in the cell used. They really managed to open the mouths of those bribed hooligans. They admitted that the Bai family ordered them, and said that their relatives were all in In the hands of the Bai family.
All of this was done in public, and the Bai family has no possibility of retracting the confession in the future.
Yao Lin directly announced that all the people involved in the case would be arrested, and Bai Yiru was no exception, and was directly thrown into the prison, waiting to be released.However, as the eldest lady of the Bai family, she is still treated better than her subordinates, at least in a separate cell.It is impossible for the Bai family to really let her be imprisoned, and they will definitely work hard to move around.
It's just a noble girl from a famous family, but she was thrown into prison for committing such a mistake. Bai Yiru's life was completely ruined, and no one who was a little decent would want to marry her.
Yun Xi didn't sympathize with her. Seeing how smoothly she designed Chen Huo, she knew that this kind of thing was not the first time it happened, but it was self-inflicted.If they hadn't happened to pass by there that day, even if Chen Huo disappeared in this world, no one would be able to seek justice for him.
By following the vine, Yao Lin also succeeded in digging out a group of people who helped Bai Yiru to cover up the evil gang. These people betrayed their consciences for money, and in the end they were all thrown into prison and paid the due price.
The pot of Yao Huang finally returned to Chen Huo's hands.When he embraced the lost and recovered peony, he couldn't help crying, with joy and sadness in his voice.
The people at the venue also asked him if the peony was willing to be auctioned. Chen Huo shook his head and refused. The peony entrusted his affection for his wife. Although he only needs to nod, at least 5000 taels can be auctioned, and he will not worry about it for the rest of his life.
Mao Yiyun admired Chen Huo's character very much, and felt that although his family was poor, his character was very good.She smiled and asked him, "Do you have any other Yao Huang in your family?"
Chen Huo said: "Yes, but the growth is not as good as this pot." He chose the best pot at that time.
Mao Yiyun smiled, "Then sell me a pot."
Chen Huo was grateful, and showed Mao Yiyun all the three pots of peonies at home. Mao Yiyun was very surprised. If you come, you can also rank in the top fifty.
You know, this year's Peony Festival is very competitive, and it would be nice to be in the top [-].
Mao Yiyun bought one of the pots with 2000 taels.Her price is still very fair, even [-]% more than the market price.
Chen Huo was very grateful. He never thought that the peonies he took care of were so valuable.With this money, he can also buy a lot of fields, and then rely on his income to concentrate on tending peonies, which is his favorite job.
Chen Huo has only one daughter, who is five years old this year.Although he has no son, Chen Huo has no intention of remarrying, and takes care of his precious daughter and Mudan wholeheartedly.
Dai Yanling was very emotional, and said to Yun Xi: "It seems that there are still loving and righteous men in this world."
Yun Xi nodded.
……
Yunxi's three pots of peonies were all selected, so someone naturally asked her if she would like to auction.Yun Xi directly agreed, no matter how rare Moyu was in the eyes of others, to her, it meant spending a little more power—the three pots of peonies were indeed the pot of Moyu that cost her the most.
If it weren't for the fact that her ability level has increased a lot, she really wouldn't be able to supply the green house and mushroom house.
Seeing that Yun Xi was willing to agree, the steward was overjoyed, and sent Yun Xi several posts so that she could go over and watch the auction.Yun Xi also wanted to go and see the excitement, so she naturally nodded in agreement.
In the afternoon, she took Yun Yao, Yan Ling and Yi Yun to her box.If it weren't for the fact that three of the first five bowls belonged to her, how could she get a separate box seat.
As soon as Yun Xi entered the box, she saw a pot of peonies on the table and couldn't help smiling.
A maid dressed in green waited on them courteously by the side, and gently asked them what kind of tea they liked, Yun Xi directly chose Maojian.
The maid again asked if she wanted spring water, well water, or snow from plum blossom petals.
Seeing that Yan Ling and the others were eager to try to get the so-called snow on the plum petals, Yun Xi chose the spring water first.But she also had to admit in her heart that this auction is really rich and powerful, and the service attitude of this box is too good.
After the maids went out to get water, Yun Xi immediately explained to them how many germs the snow water stored in the jars last year would breed, and the girls turned pale when they heard it, and vowed that they would never use the so-called old snow to make tea again. .
When the maids came back, they made a pot of tea for them, and then brought them a menu and asked them to order. The menu said that they were all pastries.
Yun Xi randomly ordered two of the most famous flower cakes in Danzhou, they tasted really good, after one bite, the sweet aroma of flowers filled her mouth.
Eating a biscuit, drinking a cup of tea, and waiting for the auction to start, nothing could be more leisurely.
The auction will focus on the first twenty pots of peonies, but only fifteen pots are willing to be auctioned.
Yun Xi originally thought that her peony should at least be the finale, but who knows that the organizer is really courageous. After auctioning a pot of Ou Bi, which ranked seventh, with 3000 taels, the second pot was Yun Xi's black jade.
As soon as the black peony was moved out, the bottom immediately boiled.For the first time seeing the black peony that has never been seen before, many people became excited. It is obvious that many of the people who came to the auction today came for it.
Mao Yiyun's family is an imperial merchant, and he really found many acquaintances. He introduced to Yun Xi, "This is Mo Kaiyang, the largest salt merchant in Danzhou, and he is fighting against the Deng family." The Deng family in her mouth is Yunyao The young master who had been rescued earlier.
"The Deng family is here too... I heard that the Mo family and the Deng family are not on good terms. Judging by the appearance of the two of them, I'm afraid they will compete for you, Mo Lan."
"That's the Yang family. Their Tianshuibi, Yunjin and Yuhuajin are tributes. It is said that the Yang family has seen the Yuehua skirt we are wearing and is planning to try to make the Yuehua brocade."
Listening to Yiyun's introduction, Yun Xi had a premonition that she might make a lot of money today.
Just as she expected, when Moyu's pot of peonies was announced for auction, although the reserve price was 5000 taels, everyone asked for 1 taels.The next step is to add 1000 double jumps.
Yun Xi's current family property is also several thousand taels of silver, but hearing the number that keeps going up, she still can't help being startled.Is there any mistake, a pot of peonies is worth the money she has worked so hard for for two years.
Terrible, terrible!
She doesn't understand the world of the rich!
Mao Yiyun and Dai Yanling are fine, no matter how many bullet screens flashed in Yun Xi's heart, she can still maintain a calm and breezy posture on her face, but Yun Yao is different, with her mouth open and her hands tightly clutching her handkerchief.
Seeing her reaction, Yun Xi suddenly became ill-intentioned, and directly threw a flower cake, which happened to be stuffed into Yun Yao's mouth.
Yun Yao came back to her senses, biting the flower cake and moaning for a long time, looking at her with accusing eyes.
Yun Xi continued to look down. In just a short while, the price has already been auctioned for 3000 taels.Although she didn't know how much the final price was, she knew that she was completely out of luck.
When 3 taels were taken, there were only four families left to continue fighting. After 4 taels, the two families shook their heads and withdrew regretfully, leaving only the salt merchants Mo's and Deng's to continue fighting.
Yan Ling sighed, "This salt merchant is really rich."
Mao Yiyun smiled, and said: "Of course, and these two are the largest salt merchants in Danzhou." She paused, and said: "Last year, the eldest daughter of the Mo family married the son of Master Daotai. Ten miles of red makeup, people in Danzhou still remember it vividly. The dowry of this young lady of the Mo family is at least five or six million taels."
Yun Xi was silent. In this era, there is no so-called sun-drying method. Most of the salt merchants who have salt in their hands are making a lot of money. The arrogance of spending a lot of money is not as good as that of the rich in the capital.Moreover, these big salt merchants basically cooperate with officials, so it is more difficult to leverage their status, unless their backers are down.
The Mo family and the Deng family were still fighting over the Moyu, and Yun Xi seriously suspected that the fight between the two families would be purely a battle of spirits, and no one would lose to the other.Yun Xi is very happy to hear about this situation. Anyway, she is the one who makes money in the end. Although [-]% of the auction proceeds will be given to the auction, she can get a lot of them.
This fierce competition directly brought the atmosphere of the scene to the highest point, and the humming discussions below filled the huge venue.
In the end, after all, the Mo family was even better. When the Deng family bought 5 taels, they directly added 6 to make it [-] taels.The person in charge of the Deng family is still hesitating whether to continue to follow.
While he was hesitating, the time had come.In the end, this basin of black jade was successfully sold to the Mo family at a price of 6 taels. This sky-defying price and the pride of the Mo family also deeply rooted in the hearts of everyone present.
Yun Xi smiled and said to Yan Ling: "Come here today, I'm afraid the Mo family will overwhelm the Deng family in the hearts of the common people."
Yan Ling nodded, "This can be regarded as spending money to buy yelling."
"The head of the Mo family is really courageous." Yun Xi sighed. In comparison, the Deng family lost.Look at the Mo family, after spending so much money, they are still overjoyed. It's not because they beat their old enemy, the Deng family.
First slowly follow 1000 taels at a time, let the Deng family get used to this rhythm, and then increase by [-] in one breath, taking advantage of the opponent's dazed and hesitant whether to continue, and successfully won with a vigorous attitude.
Really great!
6 taels, after deducting what was given to the auction, she can get 4000 taels.Yun Xi felt that she was really going to become famous now. More than 5 taels, if placed in Fenghuang County, it is enough to shake the sky and the earth.
After hearing this number, Yun Yao even felt that she was hallucinating, her eyes were blank, "Sister, one pot is 6 taels, and three pots is 18 taels, right?" like a dream.
Yun Xi smiled, "How is it possible? You think too beautifully. Only this pot of black jade can fetch such a sky-high price, and the others can fetch 4 taels, which is not bad."
"That's a lot!"
Yun Yao thinks, what kind of shop does her sister open, she just planted peonies.In fact, Yun Xi also underestimated the pursuit of this rare breed by the rich in this era.Especially this year is the Peony Festival, which is held every five years... Many wealthy businessmen plan to use this occasion to make their presence felt.
But no matter how hard they tried, they were still no match for the Mo family, and the Mo family became the biggest winner.
The faces of some rich men who wanted to understand this turned dark, and secretly scolded the Mo family for being treacherous and cunning.
The Mo family looked complacent, looking at other people with a sense of aloofness in their eyes.
After the auction of Molan, perhaps everyone's enthusiasm was exhausted, and the next few pots were not very good. The best pot was sold for 600 taels of silver.Until Yun Xi's Shuang Qiao was brought up again.
Although the variety of Shuangqiao is also a treasure, it is not as good as Yaohuangweizi after all, but Yunxi's pot is different.The quality of the yellow peony on her is not inferior to that of Yao Huang, and the quality of the white peony is better than that of luminous white.
It was precisely for this reason that Yun Xi's pot overwhelmed that pot of Yao Huang and became the second place.To be honest, if Mo Yu hadn't been in front, I'm afraid this pot would be this year's oiran.
This pot of Double Joe was finally auctioned for 3 taels.
The auction was going on slowly, and Mrs. Yu's pot sold for 8000 taels, and she seemed quite satisfied with it.
After Yun Xi's bowl of luminous white came up, she cheered up again.
What surprised her was that there were actually Bai family members participating in the auction.I don't know what kind of mentality they came here.
The Bai family seems to be determined to win this pot of Luminous White, and has successively bid 6000 taels... In fact, for this pot of Luminous White, it would be good to get 5000 taels.
In the end, the Bai family won the pot of Luminous White for 7000 taels.
There was a slight movement in Yun Xi's heart, and she suddenly had an idea.She took care of these peonies herself, and she was more comfortable controlling them than other plants.Not only did Yun Xi improve her internal skills, but also her supernatural abilities during her obsession some time ago.
She closed her eyes, quickly found Ye Guangbai in the huge venue, and established telepathy with her.
When the steward of the Bai family happily took over Ye Guangbai, an amazing scene happened.
The flowers that were originally in full bloom slowly closed under everyone's attention.
Everyone was stunned. The noisy auction house suddenly fell silent. Everyone watched this miraculous scene with bated breath.
Panic flashed across the face of the steward of the Bai family. He never thought that such a thing would happen.This, what's going on here?
A person had a flash of inspiration and said: "This Peony Fairy really has aura, she doesn't want to fall into the hands of the Bai family, that's why she is like this, otherwise it's fine, why did she suddenly close the flowers!"
As soon as this statement was made, many people expressed that it made sense. It must be the reason, and everyone became excited. This kind of thing can be included in the books of strange people and strange things, full of supernatural and beautiful colors.
Listening to everyone's discussion, the steward of the Bai family's face completely darkened.
While he was in a trance, he unconsciously let go of his hand, and the host opposite him quickly caught Ye Guangbai.Then the luminous white that was originally closed slowly bloomed again in his hand.
Everyone who saw it was excited again!Ye Guangbai's performance is obviously telling everyone that it does not want to fall into the hands of the Bai family.
The person who had previously competed with Bai Guanshi for the Luminous White immediately said: "I am willing to pay 1 taels to take this Luminous White."
Others are not to be outdone, "A mere 1 taels, how can it be worthy of Luminous White, I will pay 1 taels!" Such a spiritual peony must be bought!
Manager Bai snatched Ye Guangbai over with a dark face, and said, "Don't even think about it! This is the flower of my Bai family."
But after returning to his hand, Ye Guangbai continued to close the petals.
Yun Xi had a great time there, and then said to the maid serving in her box: "Please go down and tell the host, I am a luminous white, and I don't want to sell it to the Bai family. I also took care of this peony myself. And I don’t want to go against its will and sell it to someone it doesn’t like.”
The maid nodded and went down quickly.
On the auction stage, Bai Guanshi was still arguing with the host.
The maid quickly came to the stage and told the host what Yun Xi meant, and the host smiled, "The owner of Peony doesn't want to force Peony's will, she is willing to compensate you for the loss."
In such a back and forth situation, the party involved must be compensated for [-]% of the loss.
Although Guanshi Bai has 700 taels more in his hands, he is not happy at all.The face of the Bai family is trampled on the ground like this, I'm afraid it will be recorded by literati and poets.Those poets who like to sing about the beauty of peonies will definitely not let go of this subject. In contrast, the Bai family is the object of satire.
The reason why Yun Xi wanted to discredit the Black and White family was because she learned that the Bai family belonged to the crown prince during the chat just now, and the young lady of the Bai family was the crown prince's concubine.Bai Yiru's popularity in the capital was partly due to her elder sister, the princess.
This can be regarded as a small revenge for Yunshen, and it left the Bai family completely speechless.
Under the wish of Yun Xi, the master, Ye Guangbai held the auction again - the Bai family was excluded from this auction.
Because of the previous miracle, the luminous cup can be said to be worth doubled.It started directly from the auction of 8000 taels, and finally fell into the hands of the imperial merchant Yang's family at a high price of 5000 taels.Those who can afford the price are nothing more than those few.
Yun Xi did some calculations. She sold a total of 13 taels for the three pots of peonies. After deducting the 7000 taels for the venue and the 700 taels for the Bai family, she can also get 700 taels. two.
The so-called getting rich overnight is nothing more than that.I don't know how many people would spend ten lifetimes to earn this money, but because the three pots of peonies easily fell into her hands, Yun Xi felt like she couldn't laugh or cry.
The disparity between the rich and the poor in this world is so great. It is unacceptable for ordinary people to buy a pot of peonies for tens of thousands of taels.
But Yun Xi didn't think that she could still make so much money with this method in the future.Moyu can sell for 6 taels because it is unique, and because it is the first oiran to get full marks in more than 100 years, if Yunxi sells a second pot, the price will be greatly reduced. Because of the aura of loyalty and unyielding.
The person in charge respectfully gave Yun Xi's share of the money to her. Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and took the bank note directly.
After the auction of these peonies, a so-called peony market will be held in the next two days.The peonies sold in this market are all peonies that did not enter the top [-] but were shortlisted in the top [-].
Yun Yao has always maintained that dazed expression.
Yun Xi couldn't help but slapped her on the head hard, and she groaned and came back to her senses, "It hurts so much."
Yun Xi snorted, "It's only 12 taels, which makes you dizzy. If I earn 100 million in the future, won't you be going crazy."
Yun Yao secretly rolled her eyes at her cousin, "This is 12 taels!" Then she began to frown, "So much money, what if it is stolen?" As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately pooh-poohed Bah, spit on the ground to show that what I said was nothing.
Yun Xi narrowed her eyes, and still had a faint smile on her face, but this smile added a bit of chill in the spring breeze, "I want to see who has such abilities."
But after all, her foundation is not deep, so it is impossible to guarantee that there will be such a person who does not have long eyes and bumps into her.Yun Xi directly sewed a bag inside for her skirt, and put the banknotes in it.
With such a large sum of money suddenly, she naturally had to buy it.
She was not someone who would treat herself badly, so she didn't need to live a tight life when she was clearly rich.
When she was shopping before, Yun Xi had taken a fancy to several sets of exquisite and gorgeous hairstyles, but she couldn't buy them because of the price.It's all right now.She also gave 2000 taels of silver as the so-called hard work fee.
Yan Ling was speechless, Yun Yao followed her to visit the mountains and rivers, so it's hard work.
Yun Yao was still reluctant to spend the money and saved it directly.She was still a little frustrated, her cousin had always been her goal and direction of progress, she tried her best to catch up, but she was still getting further and further away.After being depressed, she couldn't help but be proud of it - such a powerful person was her elder sister, a relative by blood, they grew up together, almost like sisters.
Yun Xi bought four sets of emerald hair masks and one set of amethyst hair masks. The four sets of hair masks happened to be set for each of her, Du Zhoushi, Yun Yao and Yunxia.As for Du Yifu and his two cousins, he directly bought jade pendants as gifts for them.
From childhood to adulthood, the girls in the family have also bought jewelry as gifts, and everyone has at least one gold hairpin.Xiaosi, Ayu and Mrs. Tang even got a pair of gold bracelets.As for some silks and satins unique to Danzhou, I even bought two big boxes, which were full.
After these gifts came down, 1 taels went away like this.The most expensive one was actually the amethyst head set, which cost her 2000 taels, but it couldn't hold up to its beauty, Yun Xi really liked it, and now that she had money, she bought it directly.
Yun Xi felt that she still had the talent to be a prodigal son, and when she came back after shopping to her heart's content, the concierge of the Mao family also sent a lot of invitations.Her address was not a secret, it was easy to find out.
Guess what, those people must want to buy peonies from Yun Xi.Yun Xi really couldn't sell them, at least she would have to wait until next year to have spare peony seedlings.
She simply wrote the receipts one by one, saying that she was lucky enough to grow those pots of peonies, because she usually only regarded them as business hobbies, and didn't raise many, and really didn't have many peony seedlings on hand.But Yun Xi also said that if a good peony is cultivated next year, she will definitely write to them.
Many people expressed their understanding.It is more flexible to directly choose to give a gift, and check Yunxi's favorability in advance.For example, the Yang family who bought Yeguangbai also sent ten pieces of Yunjin, Yuhuajin and Tianshuibi.Yun Xi knew that they were thinking about the Yuehua Brocade, but she couldn't get it out, so she simply sent peaches and plums, told them about the characteristics of the Yuehua Brocade, and gave some pointers based on her memories of her previous life.Of course, whether they can make it according to the suggestions is their ability.The eldest lady of the Yang family even visited the door once for this and thanked her once.
This time I came to the door and brought more gifts than before, including three boxes of silk and satin.Yun Xi felt that within a few years, she would not need to buy any fabrics, it would be enough to wear until she got married.
Yun Xi wrote down the list of each company, these are her sources of customers in the future.
She had previously agreed with Mrs. Yu that she would visit Yu's house after shopping.Although Yun Xi and Mrs. Yu have not known each other for a few years, it seems like they have known each other for many years.Mrs. Yu always reminded her of her grandmother in her previous life.When she was a child, she lived with her grandmother because her parents were busy with work.It's just that grandma passed away before she went to high school, and she was the one who worried the most before she left.
Out of goodwill towards Madam, Yun Xi even planned to give her a pot of peonies at home.
Mrs. Yu's elder brother, Yu Mengda, has a son and a daughter, both of whom are already married, as well as three grandsons and two granddaughters.He wanted to send a daughter to his younger sister to raise, so that she would not be so lonely.Mrs. Yu still declined her brother's kindness, but just tended the flowers and plants every day.
After being a guest at Yu's house for a day, Yun Xi also stayed in Danzhou for many days. By the way, she spent a day at the peony market to buy some peony seedlings, packed all her things, and set off on her way home.
(End of this chapter)
Under the radiance of this black peony, the other peonies were overshadowed.
Yun Xi's other two pots of peonies did not get full marks. She calculated that Er Qiao's score was higher than that of Luminous White. She might get the second place in addition to the number one prize.As for that pot of Yao Huang, the score is a bit higher than her Luminous White.
After the scores of the twenty pots of peonies were all selected, Yun Xi's Mo Yu became the leader in the crowd.The second place was also taken away by her Er Qiao. As for Bai Yiru, Yao Huang, who had robbed her from all over the world, finally got a No. [-] position.
The fourth place was won by the Wei family of the old peony family, and the pot raised by Mrs. Yu won the sixth position. This year's competition is really not small, and it is good to be ranked in the top ten. She is also very satisfied with this result of.
As soon as the results were announced, everyone was in an uproar. Among the top five, three places were Yun Xi, who was unknown in the past. She even surpassed those so-called peony families that have been in business for hundreds of years, and became the big winner of this Peony Festival. winner.
Rankings are determined in the morning and awards are presented in the afternoon.
When it was approaching noon, when everyone was about to leave for lunch, Chen Huo rushed out of the crowd and knelt down in front of the judges, "I beg the magistrate to be the master of the people."
This kind of drama made it clear that there was going to be a good show to watch next, and the people who were about to lift their feet out all shrank back, clasped their hands and prepared to watch the good show.
Yun Xi looked at Bai Yiru who was sitting next to her. The other person's face was normal, and he also looked at Yao Zhifu with a funny face, obviously he didn't recognize who Chen Huo was.It's normal to think about it. As a person who is used to giving orders and letting the subordinates act, how could she go to find Chen Huo in person, let alone know what the other party looks like.She probably felt that Yao Lin's face would not look good if such a thing happened at the Peony Festival.
Yun Xi was in a happy mood, waiting for the next plot.Chen Huo's attack this morning must have been allowed by Yao Lin.The relationship between the Yao family and the Bai family is not good, maybe they can take advantage of Bai Yiru's incident to severely discredit the Bai family's reputation.
Yao Lin's face was as usual, he was following the line of being close to the people, and his tone was kind, "If you have any grievances, you should go to the Yamen to beat the drums." The person who supports.
Two lines of clear tears flowed down Chen Huo's face, and he cried bitterly, "Chen Huo, the little man, I also ask the master to be the master for me and let them return my peony to me."
Yao Lin snorted, "What peony?"
Out of the corner of Yun Xi's eyes, she saw that Bai Yiru's expression changed drastically, her hand was tightly clutching the handkerchief, almost turning the handkerchief into dried pickles.
Chen Huo choked up and described his experiences these days one by one. His language was plain, but his emotion was sincere and moving.
In order to enjoy the Peony Festival with the people, there is no need to post on the fourth and fifth days, which means that many ordinary people in Danzhou prefecture have come in. Chen Huo's experience can resonate with them. Everyone I couldn't help being filled with righteous indignation for him.
"This is Yao Huang! It's too much to not give it back to others! I think someone has been greedy!"
"However, 100 taels is not a lot. It is enough to buy [-] mu of land."
"You are stupid, don't you know how precious Yaohuang is? You can sell it for hundreds of taels of silver."
Everyone was talking and the scene was noisy.
Yao Lin stretched out his hand and made a quiet movement of pressing down. As the magistrate, he was still very intimidating here, and everyone also wanted to see the follow-up treatment, so they all fell silent obediently.
Chen Huo wiped away his tears and continued: "I was severely beaten by those people. If it wasn't for a knight who happened to pass by and rescued me, I'm afraid my life would be lost. The group of people were sent to the Yamen, and after a day or two of recuperation, I really wanted to find justice for myself, so I braced myself and came to the venue." He said so many words in one breath, and couldn't help coughing.
After coughing for a while, I said, "I originally thought that my peony was just stolen by someone, and I wanted to come back. But just now I saw my pot of peony on the stage that was said to have been accidentally destroyed. My peony, which I have raised for several years, now has a different owner."
His voice trembled slightly, revealing deep grief and indignation.
Everyone's eyes fell directly on the high platform. Among the top [-] today, there are four pots of Yao Huang. Which pot is it?
Many people exchanged excited glances and guessed in their hearts.
Bai Yiru looked at this uncontrollable scene, her face turned pale, and she couldn't hold back anymore and said, "How dare you talk nonsense here! How could a person like you raise Yao Huang! Hurry up and get him out!"
She secretly scolded those useless hooligans in her heart. If she hadn't used her own people to be easily seen, she would not have bribed those people. Who knows that they can't even do such trivial things well.
Yun Xi said lightly: "Miss Bai, this year's No. [-] and No. [-] are all from me, a commoner girl. In your opinion, I am also someone who can't raise Moyu?" She won the award based on her strength.
The onlookers nodded, that's right, no matter how high Bai Yiru's status is, the peony she raised was crushed by Du Yunxi, and Du Yunxi still has a perfect score that is rare in a hundred years.
In addition, Bai Yiru's words were really suspected of firing a map cannon, and most of the people present were civilians, so she was immediately dissatisfied.
The courageous ones, relying on themselves in the crowd, said directly: "Why are you so excited? Could it be you who stole the peony from others? No one else said anything."
This man is also really sharp, and he can hit it with one blow.
As soon as he said it, others immediately thought the same.
"That's right, everyone else is very calm, and she is the only one who is chattering."
"I think she just has a guilty conscience."
"The eldest lady from the capital city, with this kind of virtue, she really has the skin of a beauty and the heart of a snake."
Bai Yi Ruqi's face was distorted, her beautiful facial features couldn't see the original beauty.
Yao Lin said indifferently: "Miss Bai's family is really majestic, can you really think this is the capital? Even if it is in the capital, it's not like your Bai family."
These words were really harsh, no matter how angry Bai Yi was, she did not dare to act wild in front of Yao Lin.
Yao Lin looked at Chen Huo and said, "Go on, if it's true, I will make the decision for you. You don't have to worry about being liquidated in the future. If something happens to you in the future, I will go there and rob you." Peony's family takes someone."
Yun Xi almost burst out laughing. What Zhifu Yao meant was that whenever something happened to Chen Huo, he would treat it as the fault of the Bai family.I'm afraid that even if the Bai family wants to punish Chen Huo again, they can only hold their noses to protect him, or they might be caught by political opponents and beat him up.
Bai Yi's face turned crooked, if she hadn't been concerned about the identity of the Bai family, if she hadn't been concerned about the number of people in the venue, at least tens of thousands of people, she might have cursed regardless of her image.Compared with anger and hatred, she is now more concerned about fear, and the development of the matter is obviously out of her control. If everything she has done is exposed, what should she do?I'm afraid that if it is sent back to the capital, she will not even think about being a human being.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Yun Xi was happy.You deserve it, if you choose to deceive the world and steal your name, you must have the awareness to be discovered.
Chen Huo pointed to Yao Huang who was placed on the stage, and said: "The third ranked Yao Huang was raised by the villain and his wife."
Undoubtedly, these words were like a bomb, and the venue was full of voices.Many judges subconsciously looked at Yao Lin—is it Miss Bai's family?If they uphold justice for Chen Huo, will they be hated by the Bai family?There are even more clever thoughts, and the magistrate is standing in front, what are they afraid of, why not take the opportunity to gain reputation.
As an actor, Yao Lin showed a serious expression just right, "Is what you said true? If you make a false accusation, then I can only sentence you to exile."
Chen Huo burst into tears, "Every word of the villain is true, and there is no falsehood. My wife and I personally built the branches and weeds, and we took care of them for several years. I watched them day and night, how could I not recognize them?" come out?"
His voice was mournful, condensed with hatred for Bai Yiru who took away the treasure of the heart.
Coupled with Bai Yiru's previous behavior, everyone couldn't help but favor her.The person who originally guessed it was Bai Yiru showed off happily to the left and right.
"I'll just say it's this vicious woman, right? She's really shameless, even more shameless than us ordinary people."
Bai Yiru screamed, "Tell me, who ordered you to frame me?" She firmly refused to admit it, she had already taken care of it, and all the evidence had been erased. No success!
Yao Lin said calmly: "Chen Huo, I can't convict Miss Bai based on your one-sided words. You have other evidence."
Bai Yi looked at Chen Huo viciously as if grasping at the last straw, "Yes, the evidence! If you don't show the evidence, you false accuser, I will definitely send you into exile for three thousand miles .”
Yao Lin snorted coldly, "Miss Bai, I don't know that as a white body, you still have the right to punish you, which is more powerful than Her Royal Highness the Princess."
These words can't be said to be ungrateful, and it is only by directly saying that the Bai family has evil intentions that Bai Yiru has such confidence.
Bai Yiru's face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth and said, "My little girl just lost her words because she was in a hurry because of being slandered."
Yao Lin didn't say anything, just looked at Chen Huo.
Chen Huo calmed down, and continued: "The peony flower pot itself was carved by Xiaomin himself, and Xiaomin also carved words on the inner bottom pot. Since Miss Bai said that the flower is yours, then Do you know what words are engraved in the flowerpot?"
Bai Yiru's body swayed, and the last trace of strength disappeared from her body.She never thought that Chen Huo would have such a trick, which made her doomed.She also thought that the flower pot was not worthy of her identity, and wanted to change it, but she was worried that the peony would inevitably be damaged during the transplanting process, so she could only hold her nose and make do with it, who knew that this would be a decisive decision that would overwhelm her. straw.She had... even boasted in front of people that she never left this peony in the hands of others, and she also chose the flowerpot.
At this time, Yao Lin no longer concealed his dislike for Bai Yiru, "Miss Bai, because of your identity, I can allow you to tell me what is carved in the flowerpot first, and if you are right, I will tell you This trickster who falsely accuses you will hit you with twenty boards."
Bai Yi, who had no way out, passed out as if her eyes went black.Her behavior is undoubtedly the so-called self-reporting.
The common people were immediately angry. Bai Yiru's act of stealing other people's peonies and taking possession of them, but also wanting to kill people to kill them, was too bad. In addition, Chen Huo was a low-level citizen like them, which made them even more angry. Vent the anger of being bullied on her.
"Bitch!" The angry one directly took out something from his bosom, and threw it towards Bai Yiru.
The aim of throwing it was not right, and almost threw it at Yun Xi's side, Yun Xi quickly dodged, took Mrs. Yu, and kept away from Bai Yiru first, so as not to suffer disaster.
Once the two of them left, the others would have nothing to worry about.Everyone wanted to follow suit, and everyone who had something on hand threw it away.
I don't know which wicked person it was, and threw the stone right away, and it was quite accurate, and it hit Bai Yiru's forehead directly, making a bloody hole.Bai Yiru was suddenly woken up by the pain, and her maids were also stunned. Facing the "garbage" flying all over the sky, she hurried forward to rescue the young lady. As a result, these maidservants who were usually like deputy ladies were also fucked. Discomfited.
The most amazing thing is that some people ran directly outside the venue, bought eggs, and divided them into each other. The three of them were all sticky, and Bai Yiru's head was covered with egg liquid.
Yun Xi patted her chest reassuringly, fortunately she ran fast enough, otherwise she might have suffered disaster.Madam Yu also sighed and shook her head.
The judges above watched the farce with black lines on their faces.
One of them was about to ask everyone to calm down, but an aunt pointed at him immediately and scolded: "Are you with that femme fatale, so you want to speak for her!"
The man shut his mouth immediately, and the others also looked at Yao Lin with help-seeking eyes.
Yao Lin was also treacherous, he waited until Bai Yiru was smashed into a mess before he said a few words to them lightly, and he changed the topic again.
"Okay, Chen Huo, can you tell us what is carved on the inside of your flower pot?"
Chen Huo lowered his head and said, "My wife and I's names are engraved inside, Chen Huo and Zhang Lan. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone to check it."
With a wave of Yao Lin's hand, he asked the gardener Old Wang to come over and transplant the peony into another flower pot.Old Wang lived up to his promise, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he calmly transplanted this year's Tanhua into another empty flowerpot. During the process, the leaves and flowers were not damaged, as if the peony had never been moved. Superb is evident.
One of Yao Lin's subordinates stepped forward to pick up the original flower pot, wiped the soil on it with a cloth, then nodded and said, "My lord, the names of Chen Huo and Zhang Lan are really engraved inside."
The man also showed the flower pots to the people surrounding the front, and let them act as witnesses for a while.Everyone was satisfied after watching such a lively scene and seeing the evidence with their own eyes.
Now that the evidence is solid, Bai Yiru's charges have been confirmed. Not only did she steal from people, but she also tried to kill people to silence her.What's more, I don't know what method the arresters in the cell used. They really managed to open the mouths of those bribed hooligans. They admitted that the Bai family ordered them, and said that their relatives were all in In the hands of the Bai family.
All of this was done in public, and the Bai family has no possibility of retracting the confession in the future.
Yao Lin directly announced that all the people involved in the case would be arrested, and Bai Yiru was no exception, and was directly thrown into the prison, waiting to be released.However, as the eldest lady of the Bai family, she is still treated better than her subordinates, at least in a separate cell.It is impossible for the Bai family to really let her be imprisoned, and they will definitely work hard to move around.
It's just a noble girl from a famous family, but she was thrown into prison for committing such a mistake. Bai Yiru's life was completely ruined, and no one who was a little decent would want to marry her.
Yun Xi didn't sympathize with her. Seeing how smoothly she designed Chen Huo, she knew that this kind of thing was not the first time it happened, but it was self-inflicted.If they hadn't happened to pass by there that day, even if Chen Huo disappeared in this world, no one would be able to seek justice for him.
By following the vine, Yao Lin also succeeded in digging out a group of people who helped Bai Yiru to cover up the evil gang. These people betrayed their consciences for money, and in the end they were all thrown into prison and paid the due price.
The pot of Yao Huang finally returned to Chen Huo's hands.When he embraced the lost and recovered peony, he couldn't help crying, with joy and sadness in his voice.
The people at the venue also asked him if the peony was willing to be auctioned. Chen Huo shook his head and refused. The peony entrusted his affection for his wife. Although he only needs to nod, at least 5000 taels can be auctioned, and he will not worry about it for the rest of his life.
Mao Yiyun admired Chen Huo's character very much, and felt that although his family was poor, his character was very good.She smiled and asked him, "Do you have any other Yao Huang in your family?"
Chen Huo said: "Yes, but the growth is not as good as this pot." He chose the best pot at that time.
Mao Yiyun smiled, "Then sell me a pot."
Chen Huo was grateful, and showed Mao Yiyun all the three pots of peonies at home. Mao Yiyun was very surprised. If you come, you can also rank in the top fifty.
You know, this year's Peony Festival is very competitive, and it would be nice to be in the top [-].
Mao Yiyun bought one of the pots with 2000 taels.Her price is still very fair, even [-]% more than the market price.
Chen Huo was very grateful. He never thought that the peonies he took care of were so valuable.With this money, he can also buy a lot of fields, and then rely on his income to concentrate on tending peonies, which is his favorite job.
Chen Huo has only one daughter, who is five years old this year.Although he has no son, Chen Huo has no intention of remarrying, and takes care of his precious daughter and Mudan wholeheartedly.
Dai Yanling was very emotional, and said to Yun Xi: "It seems that there are still loving and righteous men in this world."
Yun Xi nodded.
……
Yunxi's three pots of peonies were all selected, so someone naturally asked her if she would like to auction.Yun Xi directly agreed, no matter how rare Moyu was in the eyes of others, to her, it meant spending a little more power—the three pots of peonies were indeed the pot of Moyu that cost her the most.
If it weren't for the fact that her ability level has increased a lot, she really wouldn't be able to supply the green house and mushroom house.
Seeing that Yun Xi was willing to agree, the steward was overjoyed, and sent Yun Xi several posts so that she could go over and watch the auction.Yun Xi also wanted to go and see the excitement, so she naturally nodded in agreement.
In the afternoon, she took Yun Yao, Yan Ling and Yi Yun to her box.If it weren't for the fact that three of the first five bowls belonged to her, how could she get a separate box seat.
As soon as Yun Xi entered the box, she saw a pot of peonies on the table and couldn't help smiling.
A maid dressed in green waited on them courteously by the side, and gently asked them what kind of tea they liked, Yun Xi directly chose Maojian.
The maid again asked if she wanted spring water, well water, or snow from plum blossom petals.
Seeing that Yan Ling and the others were eager to try to get the so-called snow on the plum petals, Yun Xi chose the spring water first.But she also had to admit in her heart that this auction is really rich and powerful, and the service attitude of this box is too good.
After the maids went out to get water, Yun Xi immediately explained to them how many germs the snow water stored in the jars last year would breed, and the girls turned pale when they heard it, and vowed that they would never use the so-called old snow to make tea again. .
When the maids came back, they made a pot of tea for them, and then brought them a menu and asked them to order. The menu said that they were all pastries.
Yun Xi randomly ordered two of the most famous flower cakes in Danzhou, they tasted really good, after one bite, the sweet aroma of flowers filled her mouth.
Eating a biscuit, drinking a cup of tea, and waiting for the auction to start, nothing could be more leisurely.
The auction will focus on the first twenty pots of peonies, but only fifteen pots are willing to be auctioned.
Yun Xi originally thought that her peony should at least be the finale, but who knows that the organizer is really courageous. After auctioning a pot of Ou Bi, which ranked seventh, with 3000 taels, the second pot was Yun Xi's black jade.
As soon as the black peony was moved out, the bottom immediately boiled.For the first time seeing the black peony that has never been seen before, many people became excited. It is obvious that many of the people who came to the auction today came for it.
Mao Yiyun's family is an imperial merchant, and he really found many acquaintances. He introduced to Yun Xi, "This is Mo Kaiyang, the largest salt merchant in Danzhou, and he is fighting against the Deng family." The Deng family in her mouth is Yunyao The young master who had been rescued earlier.
"The Deng family is here too... I heard that the Mo family and the Deng family are not on good terms. Judging by the appearance of the two of them, I'm afraid they will compete for you, Mo Lan."
"That's the Yang family. Their Tianshuibi, Yunjin and Yuhuajin are tributes. It is said that the Yang family has seen the Yuehua skirt we are wearing and is planning to try to make the Yuehua brocade."
Listening to Yiyun's introduction, Yun Xi had a premonition that she might make a lot of money today.
Just as she expected, when Moyu's pot of peonies was announced for auction, although the reserve price was 5000 taels, everyone asked for 1 taels.The next step is to add 1000 double jumps.
Yun Xi's current family property is also several thousand taels of silver, but hearing the number that keeps going up, she still can't help being startled.Is there any mistake, a pot of peonies is worth the money she has worked so hard for for two years.
Terrible, terrible!
She doesn't understand the world of the rich!
Mao Yiyun and Dai Yanling are fine, no matter how many bullet screens flashed in Yun Xi's heart, she can still maintain a calm and breezy posture on her face, but Yun Yao is different, with her mouth open and her hands tightly clutching her handkerchief.
Seeing her reaction, Yun Xi suddenly became ill-intentioned, and directly threw a flower cake, which happened to be stuffed into Yun Yao's mouth.
Yun Yao came back to her senses, biting the flower cake and moaning for a long time, looking at her with accusing eyes.
Yun Xi continued to look down. In just a short while, the price has already been auctioned for 3000 taels.Although she didn't know how much the final price was, she knew that she was completely out of luck.
When 3 taels were taken, there were only four families left to continue fighting. After 4 taels, the two families shook their heads and withdrew regretfully, leaving only the salt merchants Mo's and Deng's to continue fighting.
Yan Ling sighed, "This salt merchant is really rich."
Mao Yiyun smiled, and said: "Of course, and these two are the largest salt merchants in Danzhou." She paused, and said: "Last year, the eldest daughter of the Mo family married the son of Master Daotai. Ten miles of red makeup, people in Danzhou still remember it vividly. The dowry of this young lady of the Mo family is at least five or six million taels."
Yun Xi was silent. In this era, there is no so-called sun-drying method. Most of the salt merchants who have salt in their hands are making a lot of money. The arrogance of spending a lot of money is not as good as that of the rich in the capital.Moreover, these big salt merchants basically cooperate with officials, so it is more difficult to leverage their status, unless their backers are down.
The Mo family and the Deng family were still fighting over the Moyu, and Yun Xi seriously suspected that the fight between the two families would be purely a battle of spirits, and no one would lose to the other.Yun Xi is very happy to hear about this situation. Anyway, she is the one who makes money in the end. Although [-]% of the auction proceeds will be given to the auction, she can get a lot of them.
This fierce competition directly brought the atmosphere of the scene to the highest point, and the humming discussions below filled the huge venue.
In the end, after all, the Mo family was even better. When the Deng family bought 5 taels, they directly added 6 to make it [-] taels.The person in charge of the Deng family is still hesitating whether to continue to follow.
While he was hesitating, the time had come.In the end, this basin of black jade was successfully sold to the Mo family at a price of 6 taels. This sky-defying price and the pride of the Mo family also deeply rooted in the hearts of everyone present.
Yun Xi smiled and said to Yan Ling: "Come here today, I'm afraid the Mo family will overwhelm the Deng family in the hearts of the common people."
Yan Ling nodded, "This can be regarded as spending money to buy yelling."
"The head of the Mo family is really courageous." Yun Xi sighed. In comparison, the Deng family lost.Look at the Mo family, after spending so much money, they are still overjoyed. It's not because they beat their old enemy, the Deng family.
First slowly follow 1000 taels at a time, let the Deng family get used to this rhythm, and then increase by [-] in one breath, taking advantage of the opponent's dazed and hesitant whether to continue, and successfully won with a vigorous attitude.
Really great!
6 taels, after deducting what was given to the auction, she can get 4000 taels.Yun Xi felt that she was really going to become famous now. More than 5 taels, if placed in Fenghuang County, it is enough to shake the sky and the earth.
After hearing this number, Yun Yao even felt that she was hallucinating, her eyes were blank, "Sister, one pot is 6 taels, and three pots is 18 taels, right?" like a dream.
Yun Xi smiled, "How is it possible? You think too beautifully. Only this pot of black jade can fetch such a sky-high price, and the others can fetch 4 taels, which is not bad."
"That's a lot!"
Yun Yao thinks, what kind of shop does her sister open, she just planted peonies.In fact, Yun Xi also underestimated the pursuit of this rare breed by the rich in this era.Especially this year is the Peony Festival, which is held every five years... Many wealthy businessmen plan to use this occasion to make their presence felt.
But no matter how hard they tried, they were still no match for the Mo family, and the Mo family became the biggest winner.
The faces of some rich men who wanted to understand this turned dark, and secretly scolded the Mo family for being treacherous and cunning.
The Mo family looked complacent, looking at other people with a sense of aloofness in their eyes.
After the auction of Molan, perhaps everyone's enthusiasm was exhausted, and the next few pots were not very good. The best pot was sold for 600 taels of silver.Until Yun Xi's Shuang Qiao was brought up again.
Although the variety of Shuangqiao is also a treasure, it is not as good as Yaohuangweizi after all, but Yunxi's pot is different.The quality of the yellow peony on her is not inferior to that of Yao Huang, and the quality of the white peony is better than that of luminous white.
It was precisely for this reason that Yun Xi's pot overwhelmed that pot of Yao Huang and became the second place.To be honest, if Mo Yu hadn't been in front, I'm afraid this pot would be this year's oiran.
This pot of Double Joe was finally auctioned for 3 taels.
The auction was going on slowly, and Mrs. Yu's pot sold for 8000 taels, and she seemed quite satisfied with it.
After Yun Xi's bowl of luminous white came up, she cheered up again.
What surprised her was that there were actually Bai family members participating in the auction.I don't know what kind of mentality they came here.
The Bai family seems to be determined to win this pot of Luminous White, and has successively bid 6000 taels... In fact, for this pot of Luminous White, it would be good to get 5000 taels.
In the end, the Bai family won the pot of Luminous White for 7000 taels.
There was a slight movement in Yun Xi's heart, and she suddenly had an idea.She took care of these peonies herself, and she was more comfortable controlling them than other plants.Not only did Yun Xi improve her internal skills, but also her supernatural abilities during her obsession some time ago.
She closed her eyes, quickly found Ye Guangbai in the huge venue, and established telepathy with her.
When the steward of the Bai family happily took over Ye Guangbai, an amazing scene happened.
The flowers that were originally in full bloom slowly closed under everyone's attention.
Everyone was stunned. The noisy auction house suddenly fell silent. Everyone watched this miraculous scene with bated breath.
Panic flashed across the face of the steward of the Bai family. He never thought that such a thing would happen.This, what's going on here?
A person had a flash of inspiration and said: "This Peony Fairy really has aura, she doesn't want to fall into the hands of the Bai family, that's why she is like this, otherwise it's fine, why did she suddenly close the flowers!"
As soon as this statement was made, many people expressed that it made sense. It must be the reason, and everyone became excited. This kind of thing can be included in the books of strange people and strange things, full of supernatural and beautiful colors.
Listening to everyone's discussion, the steward of the Bai family's face completely darkened.
While he was in a trance, he unconsciously let go of his hand, and the host opposite him quickly caught Ye Guangbai.Then the luminous white that was originally closed slowly bloomed again in his hand.
Everyone who saw it was excited again!Ye Guangbai's performance is obviously telling everyone that it does not want to fall into the hands of the Bai family.
The person who had previously competed with Bai Guanshi for the Luminous White immediately said: "I am willing to pay 1 taels to take this Luminous White."
Others are not to be outdone, "A mere 1 taels, how can it be worthy of Luminous White, I will pay 1 taels!" Such a spiritual peony must be bought!
Manager Bai snatched Ye Guangbai over with a dark face, and said, "Don't even think about it! This is the flower of my Bai family."
But after returning to his hand, Ye Guangbai continued to close the petals.
Yun Xi had a great time there, and then said to the maid serving in her box: "Please go down and tell the host, I am a luminous white, and I don't want to sell it to the Bai family. I also took care of this peony myself. And I don’t want to go against its will and sell it to someone it doesn’t like.”
The maid nodded and went down quickly.
On the auction stage, Bai Guanshi was still arguing with the host.
The maid quickly came to the stage and told the host what Yun Xi meant, and the host smiled, "The owner of Peony doesn't want to force Peony's will, she is willing to compensate you for the loss."
In such a back and forth situation, the party involved must be compensated for [-]% of the loss.
Although Guanshi Bai has 700 taels more in his hands, he is not happy at all.The face of the Bai family is trampled on the ground like this, I'm afraid it will be recorded by literati and poets.Those poets who like to sing about the beauty of peonies will definitely not let go of this subject. In contrast, the Bai family is the object of satire.
The reason why Yun Xi wanted to discredit the Black and White family was because she learned that the Bai family belonged to the crown prince during the chat just now, and the young lady of the Bai family was the crown prince's concubine.Bai Yiru's popularity in the capital was partly due to her elder sister, the princess.
This can be regarded as a small revenge for Yunshen, and it left the Bai family completely speechless.
Under the wish of Yun Xi, the master, Ye Guangbai held the auction again - the Bai family was excluded from this auction.
Because of the previous miracle, the luminous cup can be said to be worth doubled.It started directly from the auction of 8000 taels, and finally fell into the hands of the imperial merchant Yang's family at a high price of 5000 taels.Those who can afford the price are nothing more than those few.
Yun Xi did some calculations. She sold a total of 13 taels for the three pots of peonies. After deducting the 7000 taels for the venue and the 700 taels for the Bai family, she can also get 700 taels. two.
The so-called getting rich overnight is nothing more than that.I don't know how many people would spend ten lifetimes to earn this money, but because the three pots of peonies easily fell into her hands, Yun Xi felt like she couldn't laugh or cry.
The disparity between the rich and the poor in this world is so great. It is unacceptable for ordinary people to buy a pot of peonies for tens of thousands of taels.
But Yun Xi didn't think that she could still make so much money with this method in the future.Moyu can sell for 6 taels because it is unique, and because it is the first oiran to get full marks in more than 100 years, if Yunxi sells a second pot, the price will be greatly reduced. Because of the aura of loyalty and unyielding.
The person in charge respectfully gave Yun Xi's share of the money to her. Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and took the bank note directly.
After the auction of these peonies, a so-called peony market will be held in the next two days.The peonies sold in this market are all peonies that did not enter the top [-] but were shortlisted in the top [-].
Yun Yao has always maintained that dazed expression.
Yun Xi couldn't help but slapped her on the head hard, and she groaned and came back to her senses, "It hurts so much."
Yun Xi snorted, "It's only 12 taels, which makes you dizzy. If I earn 100 million in the future, won't you be going crazy."
Yun Yao secretly rolled her eyes at her cousin, "This is 12 taels!" Then she began to frown, "So much money, what if it is stolen?" As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately pooh-poohed Bah, spit on the ground to show that what I said was nothing.
Yun Xi narrowed her eyes, and still had a faint smile on her face, but this smile added a bit of chill in the spring breeze, "I want to see who has such abilities."
But after all, her foundation is not deep, so it is impossible to guarantee that there will be such a person who does not have long eyes and bumps into her.Yun Xi directly sewed a bag inside for her skirt, and put the banknotes in it.
With such a large sum of money suddenly, she naturally had to buy it.
She was not someone who would treat herself badly, so she didn't need to live a tight life when she was clearly rich.
When she was shopping before, Yun Xi had taken a fancy to several sets of exquisite and gorgeous hairstyles, but she couldn't buy them because of the price.It's all right now.She also gave 2000 taels of silver as the so-called hard work fee.
Yan Ling was speechless, Yun Yao followed her to visit the mountains and rivers, so it's hard work.
Yun Yao was still reluctant to spend the money and saved it directly.She was still a little frustrated, her cousin had always been her goal and direction of progress, she tried her best to catch up, but she was still getting further and further away.After being depressed, she couldn't help but be proud of it - such a powerful person was her elder sister, a relative by blood, they grew up together, almost like sisters.
Yun Xi bought four sets of emerald hair masks and one set of amethyst hair masks. The four sets of hair masks happened to be set for each of her, Du Zhoushi, Yun Yao and Yunxia.As for Du Yifu and his two cousins, he directly bought jade pendants as gifts for them.
From childhood to adulthood, the girls in the family have also bought jewelry as gifts, and everyone has at least one gold hairpin.Xiaosi, Ayu and Mrs. Tang even got a pair of gold bracelets.As for some silks and satins unique to Danzhou, I even bought two big boxes, which were full.
After these gifts came down, 1 taels went away like this.The most expensive one was actually the amethyst head set, which cost her 2000 taels, but it couldn't hold up to its beauty, Yun Xi really liked it, and now that she had money, she bought it directly.
Yun Xi felt that she still had the talent to be a prodigal son, and when she came back after shopping to her heart's content, the concierge of the Mao family also sent a lot of invitations.Her address was not a secret, it was easy to find out.
Guess what, those people must want to buy peonies from Yun Xi.Yun Xi really couldn't sell them, at least she would have to wait until next year to have spare peony seedlings.
She simply wrote the receipts one by one, saying that she was lucky enough to grow those pots of peonies, because she usually only regarded them as business hobbies, and didn't raise many, and really didn't have many peony seedlings on hand.But Yun Xi also said that if a good peony is cultivated next year, she will definitely write to them.
Many people expressed their understanding.It is more flexible to directly choose to give a gift, and check Yunxi's favorability in advance.For example, the Yang family who bought Yeguangbai also sent ten pieces of Yunjin, Yuhuajin and Tianshuibi.Yun Xi knew that they were thinking about the Yuehua Brocade, but she couldn't get it out, so she simply sent peaches and plums, told them about the characteristics of the Yuehua Brocade, and gave some pointers based on her memories of her previous life.Of course, whether they can make it according to the suggestions is their ability.The eldest lady of the Yang family even visited the door once for this and thanked her once.
This time I came to the door and brought more gifts than before, including three boxes of silk and satin.Yun Xi felt that within a few years, she would not need to buy any fabrics, it would be enough to wear until she got married.
Yun Xi wrote down the list of each company, these are her sources of customers in the future.
She had previously agreed with Mrs. Yu that she would visit Yu's house after shopping.Although Yun Xi and Mrs. Yu have not known each other for a few years, it seems like they have known each other for many years.Mrs. Yu always reminded her of her grandmother in her previous life.When she was a child, she lived with her grandmother because her parents were busy with work.It's just that grandma passed away before she went to high school, and she was the one who worried the most before she left.
Out of goodwill towards Madam, Yun Xi even planned to give her a pot of peonies at home.
Mrs. Yu's elder brother, Yu Mengda, has a son and a daughter, both of whom are already married, as well as three grandsons and two granddaughters.He wanted to send a daughter to his younger sister to raise, so that she would not be so lonely.Mrs. Yu still declined her brother's kindness, but just tended the flowers and plants every day.
After being a guest at Yu's house for a day, Yun Xi also stayed in Danzhou for many days. By the way, she spent a day at the peony market to buy some peony seedlings, packed all her things, and set off on her way home.
