Everyone can summarize the past events and the rules. Therefore, as soon as the news came out that Young County Princess of the Duke Cheng family was celebrating his birthday, the entire city of Kyoto was shocked.
But because everyone knows the auction sign
Licenses are very valuable. Anyone with an auction license can get millions of dollars in exchange for it. Who doesn't know how lucrative it is to organize an auction?
When Xu Yi and Xia Zimo arrived, the ten-mile-long street in front of the Duke's Mansion was packed with people. There were so many greeters and traffic that it was impossible to see beyond.
"This way, this way..."
Xia Zimo pulled Xu Yi, struggled to squeeze out of the crowd, pointed to an absurdly tall gilded copper door and said, "Don't you have class? Let's enter through this door."
Xu Yi Only then saw the sign outside the door, and scanned it from left to right, and then figured it out.
It turns out that Duke's Mansion had already prepared and opened several doors, corresponding to the identities of the congratulators from each party.
The one in front of me is particularly majestic and magnificent, and is obviously the main entrance.
Dai Viet has great honors and has the highest official status, even surpassing the second generation Nobles who has not achieved any honors. It is most appropriate for the Duke's Mansion to leave the main entrance to the officials.
Xu Yi showed off his green jade ring, accepted a simple verification, and easily led Xia Zimo into the Duke's Mansion.
Upon entering Dede's mansion, there was a man in yellow shirt holding a pen and writing ink, sitting in front of him. In front of him were the new guests who came to greet him. They each took out their gold tickets and submitted them, and their names were recorded.
Xu Yi Unexpectedly, Duke's Mansion, the dignified Duke's Mansion, did not even hide his greed, summoned a golden ticket worth a thousand gold, and stepped forward.
If I hadn't kept that license plate in mind, Xu Yi would have really wanted to give it to Zhang Shijin.
The man in yellow shirt was about to take it, but Xia Zimo took the initiative and took away Xu Yi's golden ticket. He handed over a golden ticket and said with a smile, "Ten households Xu Yi, congratulations on twenty thousand gold!"
Huang Shan'er followed the instructions, slipped out a brand from his sleeve, and slipped it quietly into Xia Zimo's hand.
Xia Zimo remained calm and pulled Xu Yi away.
Naturally, this action could not be hidden from Xu Yi. He asked, but Xia Zimo just pretended to be sophisticated and did not answer. He pulled Xu Yi through the arch and entered the courtyard.
Not long after, Xu Yi saw the jade plaque in her hand glowing faintly. Then, under the pull of Xia Zimo, she came to an arch door again. At this time, more than twenty congratulators had arrived.
Everyone filed into the door, and before everyone entered, they would secretly return the jade plaque to the doorkeeper.
After entering the door, the atmosphere is very relaxed, and various sounds can be heard.
"How much did it cost you?"
"Twenty-three thousand!"
"This time it's really evil, Steward Zhang spent 18,000, but I didn't come in!"
"That's right. In previous years, there was no price like this. At 15,000, I was definitely shortlisted!"
"..."
Xu Yi seemed to have heard some clues, so he quietly grabbed Xia Zimo and said, "You have done a thorough job in your homework."
Obviously, Xia Zimo can act smoothly only if he is prepared.
Xia Zimo said proudly, "That is, know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger. If it were not for me, you Xu Shihu would have no choice but to do nothing even though you have great abilities."
"Thank you, thank you!" Xu Yi cupped his fists and said, "You haven't told me the key yet?"
Xia Zimo said, "You just express your love, don't you express your gratitude? That's all, write down this debt first. Anyway, you owe me a lot of debt, so there is no shortage of this..."
Immediately, Xia Zimo revealed the inside story.
It turns out that the sale of the Duke Cheng's Mansion license has become a grand event in Beijing.
The Duke Cheng family has always been mature and prudent, and knows how to advance and retreat. After the auction license showed great value, the Duke Cheng family did not dare to be independent, and secretly connected with the royal family and invited the royal family to share the profits.
With the intervention of the royal family, the squeeze on auction licenses has become increasingly fierce.
The Huangshan'er who collected the door fee before was assigned by the Imperial Household Department, who specifically selected the top twenty or so according to the amount of gift money to participate in the next round of competition.
Just now, if Xia Zimo allowed Xu Yi to pay the thousand gold, Xu Yi would automatically be wiped out of the possibility of moving forward.
After hearing this, Xu Yi secretly smacked his lips, "This is not selling license plates, it's clearly a rip-off!"
Xia Zimo raised a green onion finger and shook it repeatedly, "Duke's Mansion, can you say that it is for sale? They only select the outstanding ones to give away!"
Xu Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly. As Xia Zimo continued to move forward, passing through a long and gorgeous corridor, the scene in front of him became brighter and brighter, with flying pavilions flowing with pills and beautiful buildings like forests. After a while, dozens of people were seen entering from all directions. Obviously, they entered through other side doors.
After a brief scan, the venue is roughly divided into four groups, one group is the wealthy businessmen, one group is the new scholars, one group is the young Nobles, and the last group is Xu Yi and other officials.
Everyone gathered.
At this moment, an old man in red robes led a group of servants in green clothes to the front and said loudly, "Old slave Duke's Mansion Head Butler, on behalf of my master, I would like to thank all of you distinguished guests for coming. I appreciate your kindness and my master appreciates it. It's just that the inner palace is narrow, and I'm afraid that everyone can come in, so I can't arrange the opening." Come on, let's do this. Since you are here to celebrate Young County Princess's birthday, in addition to congratulations, you must have prepared something for Young County Princess. Why don't you give the stuff to the old slave first, who will present it to Young County Princess, and let Young County Princess decide on the candidate."
Xu Yi secretly nauseated, the scene Duke's Mansion created simply challenged his imagination, it was unheard of to ask for money in public like this.
But looking around, everyone is safe, which is obviously as expected.
A license plate is worth millions, but it has attracted everyone to work hard. Duke's Mansion will earn more than tens of millions today?
In an instant, a servant in green clothes walked up to him and handed out a treasure box. Xu Yi opened it, but it was empty. Just as he was curious, Xia Zimo had put a stack of gold tickets into the box. The servant took it and gave back a jade token.
"Send money?"
Xu Yi said via voice transmission, "How much?"
Xia Zimo said, "You don't care how much it is. I guarantee your admission. In this kind of situation, no matter what treasure you give me, it will be converted into money in the end, so I'll just give you the money."
Not long after, a group of servants in green clothes took the treasure box and left. After half a stick of incense, countless beeps sounded, and among them was the jade tablet in Xia Zimo's hand.
Suddenly someone exclaimed, "My fifty thousand gold!" After shouting, he threw his head back and fell down.
Of course, among the rest of the people, some are happy and some are worried, such as those who are mourning their heirs, and there are many of them.
Xu Yi was shocked, "Even fifty thousand gold is not enough, how much did you put away!"
The license is worth millions, but everyone in the room is not a fool. Anyone who is stupid enough to think that he will definitely win it will naturally estimate the opportunity cost.
Including the previous payment to Huang Shan'er, 70,000 gold was not enough to enter the inner palace, so the opportunity cost was already too high.
Xia Zimo said, "Don't worry about how much it is. Just don't let my girl's money go to waste!"
Accompanied by the congratulations of the old man in red robe, everyone held jade tokens and entered one by one.
"Sorry, you two are not allowed in."
The servant in green clothes took away Xia Zimo's jade token, but said this sentence.
