Chapter 524 Buy it!

Watching all the cards with silent bid prices written on them being put away one by one, Si Linglong began today's formal auction process.

"Next, please ask our staff to take out the first item for today's auction, a pair of gold bracelets with flower patterns. This pair of bracelets was donated by Concubine Li, and they are her favorite things..."

Following Si Linglong's introduction, one of the palace maids who had been standing aside immediately came forward with a tray containing a Hundred Flowers Filigree Gold Bracelet and stood beside her.

The guests were puzzled for a moment.

Firstly, I had no idea what the so-called "staff" was, and secondly, she didn't even sell the items in the order listed in the brochure!

Someone flipped through the brochure and found that the item was on the last page. It was obvious that they were going to bid from the back to the front...

After some of the guests understood what was going on, they couldn't help but secretly marvel at Lang Zhaoyi's cowardice.

When showing them, put the best first.

When it’s your turn to shoot, put the best ones last.

…

She is indeed the daughter of a merchant family.

Good at calculating!

While everyone was thinking about it, they saw Shu Hong handing over something.

When Si Linglong took it from Shu Hong, everyone could see clearly that it was a pair of silk gloves as thin as cicada wings, delicate and thin, with a transparent beauty.

Si Linglong slowly put the silk gloves on her hands. Her slender jade fingers seemed to be put into the silk gloves. The translucent silk stuck to her hands tightly, making her hands look very noble.

Si Linglong gently lifted the bracelet from the tray with her gloved hand and showed the bracelet from all angles to the guests sitting on both sides.

Everyone present had seen fine things before, so naturally they would not be attracted by a mere pair of gold bracelets.

Especially the ladies present, it would be more accurate to say that they were looking at Lang Zhaoyi's hands rather than the bracelet.

They had never seen those gloves before.

It looks really good even when worn on the hand.

As for warm gloves, they also have them, but they are just gloves that cover the whole hand, nothing like the gloves on Lang Zhaoyi's hands, which are put on each finger one by one and do not hinder activities at all.

Such novelties look like new tributes.

I wonder if Lang Zhaoyi will take out this glove to take a picture.

They want it.

For a moment, all the ladies followed Si Linglong's hand, until Si Linglong put the bracelet back on the tray, then they spoke.

"The reserve price for the bracelet is 100 taels. Interested parties can raise the plaques in your hands and bid in turn. Each bid is 10 taels by default. After you raise the price, you cannot regret it. The final price will be determined after I ring the bell after calling out the price three times. No more bidding after the bell rings."

As he spoke, Qinglv beside him brought up a tray with a small copper bell and a small hammer on it.

Delicate and cute.

Ladies: It looks good, I want it too.

Then I heard Si Linglong strike a small bronze bell. The clear sound, like the sound of Buddhist music, was accompanied by her light and pleasant voice.

"Let's start bidding now. Anyone want to bid?"

Almost as soon as the words fell, Mrs. Shi, who was sitting on the right, immediately raised the sign in her hand.

Shi Yongfan couldn't help but stare at his wife with wide eyes.

When we were selecting the item just now, my wife clearly said that she had many bracelets of the same style and she didn't like it.

Mrs. Shi's face was slightly red, and she coughed again.

It doesn't matter whether it's a bracelet or not. What matters is that she wants to hear the sound of the small bronze bell being struck.

I don’t know if they were people who had the same idea as Mrs. Shi, but there were a few people behind her who kept raising the price.

Almost every time a sign was raised, Si Linglong would immediately lock onto one side, shout out the other party's seat number, and say the bidding price at the same time.

"Number 15 bids 110 taels. 110 taels. Is there anyone who wants to raise the price?"

"Oh? Number 27 bids 120 taels, 120 taels at a time!"

"Number 15 raises the price again, one hundred and thirty taels!"

"The lady at number 30 is bidding 140 taels. Is there a higher price than 140 taels?!"

At first, everyone just held up a sign for the sake of showing off.

Later, they were completely infected by the nervous voice of Lang Zhaoyi bidding.

I always feel like if I don't raise the price quickly, I'll lose money.

So he raised his hand more and more frequently.

Until the price of the bracelet reached two hundred and thirty taels.

"The lady of No. 15 offered two hundred and thirty taels! Is there anyone who wants to raise the price of two hundred and thirty taels?! Then two hundred and thirty taels once! Two hundred and thirty taels twice! Two hundred and thirty taels three times!!"

As the bell rang, Si Linglong announced excitedly, "Let us congratulate the wife of No. 15 for successfully winning the first prize in this charity auction!"

As Si Linglong spoke, she gestured enthusiastically to Madam Shi who was seated at No. 15. Madam Shi felt a little embarrassed for a moment as everyone was staring at her. But the moment Si Linglong finished her words, two palace maids holding flower baskets suddenly jumped out, walked up to Madam Shi without saying a word, and began to scatter flower petals on her head with smiles on their faces!

At the same time, the palace maids standing beside them in the hall applauded in unison.

There was thunderous applause in the hall.

Empress Dowager Sheng and Helian Yue, who were sitting on the main throne, had obviously not expected this, and were visibly startled when the palace maids beside them suddenly applauded.

Looking down, Mrs. Shi was obviously infected by the enthusiastic atmosphere. She stood up and knelt to her left and right with some excitement. Her voice was full of excitement, "Thank you, thank you ladies for giving me this."

This time, not only Empress Dowager Sheng, but everyone in the palace was obviously shocked by this scene.

The atmosphere created is... simply breathtaking.

This auction... is much more interesting than the usual auctions held by the public.

The remaining ladies who were just trying to make up the numbers were now eager to try.

This is a flower! They want it too!

They decided, next -

Buy it, buy it!
