"Below is a dressing mirror, starting bid is one thousand taels!"
Two servants carried in a dressing table with a dressing mirror on it. A simple mirror might not be worth that much, but with the exquisite dressing table, it was worth it.
"My lady, I want this."
"My lady, I want one too."
No man disliked a dressing mirror, and they all begged their wives to do the same.
"Two thousand taels!"
"Three thousand taels!"
"Five thousand taels!"
"Six thousand taels!"
Finally, the dressing mirror was sold for six thousand taels.
The last mirror brought out was a full-length mirror, so bright that you could see yourself standing in it, which drove everyone crazy.
"Ten thousand taels!"
"Fifty thousand taels!"
"One hundred thousand taels!" The queen sitting in the first row shouted so loudly that her voice almost broke. It seemed that she really wanted it. In the end, she got her wish and bought it for one hundred thousand taels.
Fang Xiyue and Su Yurong were both suppressing their laughter; this price was truly beyond their expectations.
The auction certainly didn't stop at these mirrors; Fang Xiyue also provided ten large plush dolls, with a starting bid of one thousand taels.
The last ten plush dolls sold for a high price of 10,000 taels each, it seems there are quite a few rich people.
Finally, the highlight is the handbags that women are eager to own. These handbags all have antique elements, which not only look natural but also match the clothes perfectly. There are ten of them in total, all with the same style but different colors.
"I'll take all 100,000 taels!" said the lady who had bought the full-length mirror and was sitting at the very front.
Two hundred thousand taels!
"One million taels!" The lady made her final bid, thinking that if she couldn't buy it, she would give up. As a result, the person bidding against her fell silent.
What they didn't know was that many of the people bidding were shills arranged by Su Yuerong and Fang Xiyue.
In the end, the entire auction sold a total of 1.2 million and 9 million taels of silver. The purchase price of the mirror was calculated according to the previous agreement, but the purchase price of the plush toys and bags was increased by Fang Xiyue.
Plush toys are priced at 1,000 taels of silver each, and bags at 10,000 taels of silver each. In reality, plush toys cost 100 coins and bags cost 1 tael of silver in the system's shop.
So the total purchase price was 110,320 taels. The Su family took 50,000 taels, and Fang Xiyue took the rest. The Su family still took 20% of the net profit.
So the final total profit is 1,098,680 taels. After deducting miscellaneous expenses, the net profit is calculated as 1,098,000 taels. After deducting the silver used for purchasing goods, the profit is directly divided equally among the 1,098,680 taels.
The Su family received 200,000 taels, and Fang Xiyue received 800,000 taels, meaning the Su family made a net profit of 150,000 taels.
The guests left happily, and those who didn't get to take pictures asked Su Yuerong and her team to find a way to get some more, which Su Yuerong agreed to.
Before leaving, they gave each of their husbands a mini mirror, and everyone left very satisfied.
Prefect Su was filled with anxiety in the government office. He was truly stunned when his servant came to report that the item had been sold for over a million taels of silver.
Su Yuerong happily took her 200,000 taels of silver home, and Prefect Su couldn't wait to come over.
"You sold so much silver, how much did you make?" Although Prefect Su did not exploit the people, it did not mean she disliked silver.
“I invested 50,000 taels and earned 150,000 taels, bringing back a total of 200,000 taels. Lady Fang made a net profit of 740,000 taels!”
Mother, you have no idea that the plush toy Fang gave to Yu'er, which was the size of a rabbit, sold for ten thousand taels of silver.
And the bag he was carrying cost 100,000 taels each, so the gifts that Lady Fang gave to our Yu'er alone exceeded 100,000 taels.”
Su Yuerong really didn't expect to sell it for such a high price. Of course, she knew the purchase price, but others didn't.
Moreover, based on the purchase price, Lady Fang gave Yu'er a gift of 11,000 taels of silver, which was not a small amount.
Prefect Su plopped down in her chair. Wasn't her Yu'er now a walking gold ingot?
"Mother, Mother, Eldest Sister, Eldest Sister, has Lady Fang arrived?" Su Zheyu, carrying a large rabbit, ran over with Song Yifan by the hand.
Actually, this big rabbit was quite heavy to carry and blocked their view, but they just didn't want to put it down and wanted to carry it around everywhere.
"No, no, you two be careful not to fall."
Prefect Su meant not to drop the White Rabbit candy and the big pink bear, but Su Zheyu and Song Yifan didn't know that and thought she was worried that they would fall.
Fang Xiyue originally planned to return with Su Yuerong, but then she remembered that she hadn't yet given the mirror she wanted to give to Prefect Su, so she said she had something to do back home and would come back later.
When Fang Xiyue had the mirror carried in, Prefect Su thought that Fang Xiyue had come to present the betrothal gifts so soon.
"Your Excellency, this is a gift from your junior to your household. There are five sets in total, one for you and your husband, one for Yue Rong, one for Yu'er, and one for Fan'er."
Looking at the mirror in the main hall, Prefect Su's heart clenched. Was this even usable? This mirror was worth the equivalent of 545,000 taels of silver.
She now needs to know if she can survive when Fang Xiyue comes to present the betrothal gifts. Judging from her spending, it's definitely more than just this.
Fang Xiyue pulled Song Yifan along, "Fan'er, don't be sad. I've also prepared for your family. But this isn't your home. When you go back, I'll send a set to your mother, your father, and you."
Fang Xiyue was afraid that Song Yifan would be in a bad mood, so she quickly explained.
"I'm not sad. I know you won't forget my mother and my father." Song Yifan wasn't the type to overthink things.
Prefect Su ordered his servants to move all the mirrors to the room, and he went with them, fearing that the servants might break them.
