The lights are coming on.
Most of the shops in Yongjing City were closed.
The Piaomiao Tower on Yuhe Street was not only open, but also as bright as day.
The guy at the door is working hard to welcome the guests in.
Third floor.
An Li looked at the people coming to Piaomiao Tower outside the window and smiled knowingly.
He turned to the shopkeeper of Piaomiao Pavilion, who had been promoted to the shopkeeper of Piaomiao Tower, and asked, "How are the preparations for the auction on the second floor going?"
The shopkeeper said respectfully, "Madam, it's ready. It will start in half a quarter of an hour."
An Li nodded with satisfaction. Earlier, she had asked the shopkeeper to send invitations to the ministers of each family.
Now, quite a few have come.
She came to the main room on the third floor and looked down, everything was in sight.
There was a high platform in the middle, and the auctioneer was already standing on the platform, ready.
Around the platform are seats for ordinary guests, which can accommodate about two hundred people.
Further back is the renovated private room, which belongs to the distinguished guests of Piaomiao Tower.
Ordinary guests are not allowed to enter.
An Li also used jade pendants to divide the levels: ordinary guests were given white jade, VIP guests in the private rooms were given green jade, and there were three private rooms on the third floor, which were given purple jade.
She is the owner of Piaomiao Tower, and she is Black Jade!
All the jade pendants were made by Ming Yichu, who cast spells on them.
If someone brings in a fake jade pendant and steps through the door of Piaomiao Tower, the jade pendant will shatter.
Naturally, Piaomiao Tower also set up a corresponding magic array!
Looking down, many guests had already taken their seats, waiting for the auction to begin.
An Li looked back and saw Xinbao sleeping soundly on the bed.
at this time.
"Madam, the auction has begun." said the shopkeeper.
An Li waved his hand to let him go down, sat on the chaise longue, drank tea leisurely, and watched the auction on the second floor.
After the host gave some opening remarks and explained the rules, it officially began!
"The first item up for auction today is six Vitality Pills."
"The starting price is eight hundred taels of silver per bottle, and the minimum increment is one hundred taels."
"The highest bidder wins!"
As the host struck the gavel, someone immediately shouted loudly.
"One thousand taels."
"I'll give you 1,400 taels."
"Two thousand taels!"
…
"Four thousand taels!"
In the private room on the second floor, a servant shouted on behalf of the owner of the room.
Immediately! The whole place fell silent.
This is a huge sum! People speculated which minister or low-key wealthy businessman it was.
"Is there anyone who wants to bid more?" the host shouted excitedly.
The ordinary guests sitting in the seats all shook their heads.
Four thousand taels is not a small amount!
They are all waiting for the next item to be auctioned.
Seeing that no one raised the price, the host made the final decision!
“Congratulations to the winner.”
Following closely behind is the second one.
The starting price for six one-year longevity pills is two thousand taels, and each bid increase must not be less than four hundred taels.
After a fierce competition, it was finally bought by a distinguished guest in the box on the second floor for 28,000 taels of silver.
After that, there were no more auctions of expensive miracle pills.
Instead, they are affordable weight loss pills, height increase pills, beauty pills, hair growth pills, freckle removal pills, etc., which are all priced well and affordable for everyone present.
Some men, when they get older, start to develop problems like a potbelly and baldness.
Some women, after years of baptism, have black hair turning white, and wrinkles and spots on their faces.
Everyone loves beauty!
So, these people are rushing to buy it!
Whether you use it for yourself, give it to others, or flatter your superiors, it is a very impressive thing.
For the finale, the host kept everyone in suspense and said with a polite smile, "Can you guess what the last item is?"
"It will definitely attract everyone's attention!"
"I guess she's an unparalleled beauty!"
"It must be priceless jewelry."
…
Everyone guessed excitedly.
The host shook his head. "Neither of them is correct."
"Could it be a woman's fragrant bellyband?"
In the crowd, a playboy was laughing and saying this.
For a moment, everyone laughed.
An Li, who was on the third floor, was very satisfied with tonight's auction.
She made a rough estimate and found that she earned at least 100,000 taels of silver in just one night.
She was very much looking forward to the finale.
"Mother~"
Just at this moment, Mingxin woke up.
She sat up, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and spoke in a baby voice.
Chunliu carried Mingxin to the chaise longue and put the goat milk in the little lady's hands.
An Li smiled and said, "Xinbao, it's time for the finale."
The finale is the fairy peach!
Ming Xin drank two sips of milk and climbed into her mother's arms, "Mom...I want to see you."
Looking down, no one could guess what it was and started to urge it on.
The host didn't keep the suspense any longer and clapped his hands. Then a pretty maid came up with a plate.
"Today, there are fairy peaches floating in the mist, so delicate that they are tempting to be eaten by ordinary people."
"Today's finale is the fairy peach!"
"Eating this fairy peach not only cures all diseases, but also has many other benefits, such as longevity."
The maid took down the veil on the exquisite tray, and a puff of white smoke dissipated, revealing a small fairy peach.
Fairy peach?
Everyone stretched their necks and was immediately disappointed!
Is this the fairy peach? It's smaller than their fingers.
Everyone was wondering in their hearts, who had leftover peaches like these?
Let the maid bring it up!
"This is fake, right? There are no such things as fairy peaches in this world."
“Fake! Fake!”
