Chapter 234 Auction on the Street
When the people from Fuxuezhi saw so many things placed directly in front of their shop, they got angry and ran forward to question them.
"Who are you? Why are you putting things in front of our store? Do you know where we are?
Anqiao replied: "Isn't this the street? When did the street become a place for Xuefu to weave?"
When Fu Xuezhi's servant saw several strong men standing up behind An Qiao, and behind the strong men was the beautiful lady from yesterday, he didn't dare to say anything and could only let them put the things in place one by one.
The clerk was also smart and quickly ran into the store to find their owner.
"Sure enough, the shopkeeper offended someone yesterday." He wiped his sweat.
"Who?" The shopkeeper was not afraid. With their background, they were not afraid of offending anyone.
"It's the wife of His Royal Highness Prince Yu. Today, she brought dozens of boxes of things and blocked our shop. What do you think we should do?"
"You are so bold. Don't you know who we are? Don't you know where we are from?" The shopkeeper got annoyed when he heard this.
"I think the lady knows about this. She must be so bold because she knows that Prince Yu is backing her up."
"This is simply outrageous! Prince Yu actually allowed a concubine to be so arrogant and domineering. Is it enough to go against others? How dare he go against us?!"
The shopkeeper was not Li Fei's father himself, but a distant relative of their family who was responsible for helping to manage the business on the street.
When he heard that someone was riding on his head, he immediately stood up and came out to argue with Feng Aoqing, but when he walked out onto the street, he realized that he no longer had this opportunity.
Because the open space was now full of people, he couldn't help but walk over to take a look.
There were rows of wooden boxes on the open space. When the boxes were opened, various exquisite gifts were revealed.
There was a long table in front of the box, and a man was standing in front of the table. He recognized this man. He was Mr. Cui, the owner of the pawnshop diagonally opposite.
There were already ten gifts and a notice lined up next to Boss Cui.
The notice stated that all items auctioned by Madam Feng had to be paid in cash, and the proceeds would be sealed on site and used entirely for charity. Witnesses from the government, businessmen, and the public would also be invited to the scene.
The most important thing is that every time something is auctioned, Boss Cui will introduce the details of the item.
"The first item is from Mr. Xue Kai, a clerk in the Household Registration Department. A pair of jade ruyi! Starting price is one tael!"
"One or two?!" everyone exclaimed.
"I'll give you three taels!"
"Have you any cash?"
"Yes! They must be worth at least fifty taels! A pair is worth a hundred taels!"
"Hurry! Go home and get the silver!"
"I'll give you four ounces!"
"I'll give you five taels!"
"Wow! Master Xue, can't you see that? Such a big deal!"
"That's right, he's from the household registration office..."
One piece of jade can cause a thousand waves.
Those who wanted to take pictures did so, those who wanted to get money did so, and those who wanted to watch the fun watched the fun.
You want to step on King Yu, right? Then you guys must be the last one to do so.
"Fifty taels." A woman's voice was not loud and gentle, but because the amount was so large, everyone couldn't help but look at her.
"It's Mrs. He from Rongtaihe." Someone recognized her.
"Is there anything higher than fifty taels? This pair of jade earrings." asked Boss Cui.
No one else bid, so Mrs. He handed over the silver and received the earrings.
But she didn't leave. Instead, she walked in front of Feng Aoqing and knelt before her in the Zhaojing style: "Congratulations, Liu Ruolin, I pay my respects to the Madam."
"Who are you?" Feng Aoqing didn't recognize him, but she knew that he must be Zhao Jing's man.
"You don't remember me. You gave birth to my son with your own hands. Without you, my mother-in-law, my son and I would not have survived." Liu Ruolin reminded.
"Ah, I remember now, Madam He Chengshou."
"Exactly."
"How is the child? Why are you in Tianyao?"
"Taiqing wasn't interested in politics, so he went out with a friend to do business. Unexpectedly, he became successful in Tianyao, so I followed him. The child is doing well and is running around the yard!"
"Okay, I'll go and take a look tomorrow." Feng Aoqing was very happy to meet an acquaintance here.
"That's great. Taiqing and I will pick you up." Liu Ruolin was flattered.
"Okay, it's messy here, you can go back." Feng Aoqing gently held her hand.
Liu Ruolin was fascinated by Feng Aoqing the first time she saw her and regarded her as an idol. Unfortunately, she had to recuperate after giving birth at that time, and Feng Aoqing soon left Xiangping City, so they were unable to spend a long time together, which was a pity.
Unexpectedly, we had the opportunity to get along again.
There were more and more people on the open space. Feng Aoqing arranged for the brothers who helped to move things to maintain order. Everyone knew that they would get paid soon, so they were all happy to help.
She pointed to a few spots, pulled the ropes, and the crowd immediately split into several groups.
Those who are willing to bid are in one group, and a special channel is reserved for convenient delivery and collection of goods, while those who want to watch the fun are divided into several other groups.
Anyone who pushes will be asked to leave. After two people are asked to leave, everyone will stand still and watch, and there will be no more pushing.
"Madam, have you ever been on the march or fought in a war?" An Ke asked An Wan.
An Wan smiled and nodded: "You have been in Tianyao for many years, so it is normal that you have never heard of her."
"Who is our wife?" An Ke was very curious.
"You'll know later." An Wan smiled. She knew who Feng Aoqing was from the beginning.
"I didn't even know that Boss Cui was one of us. I even helped people I used to work for to pawn things! I didn't even realize it!" An Ke finally realized that this Boss Cui who was shouting so loudly must be one of us.
"You can tell at a glance, so how can that be okay?" An Wan said with a smile.
"That's true. I can't let anyone see it at a glance." An Ke nodded.
"How dare you say that? The set of Sangnu clothes you prepared is so new. Why don't you just put on an old one tonight?" An Wan said in a low voice, biting her lip without looking at her.
"Oh, thank goodness my sister reminded me." An Ke stuck out her tongue.
The two saw Feng Aoqing standing there for a long time. Just now, they wanted to move a chair for her, but were rejected. But now she still maintained the same attitude as when she came, without any change, and they were amazed again.
The people who went to deliver gifts in the morning were so scared when they heard what happened on the street that they broke out in a cold sweat.
I wanted to stop them but didn't dare, and I felt that I couldn't not stop them. I was torn between two options and had no choice but to go find their master.
As the master, I will be busy today.
Most people just say, "How dare she?"
The problem is, people just dare to do it.
Some of these good things were auctioned for less than one tenth of the price. Who wouldn't want to buy them? Most of them were women's things, and they were good for appeasing wives, not to mention making money by reselling them later.
Therefore, the items were quickly sold out at the auction, and two large boxes of silver and banknotes were obtained.
Feng Aoqing asked two civilians to help put up the seal and paint it.
At this moment, the shopkeeper Fu Xuezhi rushed over with a group of thugs.
