Ye Yiqing asked the two maids to take the children back to the inn first. There are too many people and too noisy, which is not good for the children. The two little ones need more sleep to grow faster.
Zhaoyang said, "I'll go back and look after the two children, you father and daughter go shopping."
Probably because of her miscarriage, Zhaoyang likes children very much, and she wants to be with her two little grandchildren more than watching the fun outside.
"Send Madam and the others back to the inn." Ye Yiqing told his subordinates that for safety reasons, he would arrange a few people around Zhaoyang and the little grandson, so as not to encounter such a pervert as Baoxiang Guoguo again.
After Zhaoyang left with the two little guys, Ye Yiqing and Ye Zhen walked to the auction place, because there were too many people around, they couldn't see what the auction was like.
Ye Yiqing protected Ye Zhen by his side, and walked slowly from the crowd to the front, only to realize that the auction was not open in the street at all.
"Auction house?" Ye Zhen looked at the plaque in front of the gate. On it were three big characters, "Auction House".
"It seems that not everyone can go in." Ye Yiqing said in a low voice, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people around the door and they couldn't get in.
Ye Zhen walked up, but was stopped by two men who looked like Kong Wu, who were standing by the door, "Girl, do you have an invitation card?"
"Invitation?" Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows, "Can't I enter without an invitation?"
"Those people don't have invitation cards either, do you think they can go in?" the guard asked, pointing to the crowd behind.
Ye Zhen didn't look back, "How can I get the invitation?"
"The ones who can enter here are all famous people in Nanzhou. It seems that you are newcomers. If you haven't received the invitation post from Master Shui, you have to pay a deposit of 50,000 taels. If you leak the auction house, Those who cause damage inside, the 50,000 taels will belong to the auction house." A middle-aged man in a gray straight suit walked out of the auction house, who seemed to be the manager of the auction house.
Fifty thousand taels? Ye Zhen turned her head and glanced at Ye Yiqing, this is not money that cannot be afforded, but who would walk down the street with 50,000 taels, isn't that a fool
"Fifty thousand taels of silver?" Ye Zhen looked at the manager with a half-smile and asked.
The steward smiled lightly, "If you don't have silver, you can use something of the same price."
Something of the same price? Ye Zhen recalled that there would be something worth 50,000 taels on her body, as if she didn't bring out anything worthwhile.
"Girl, it's 50,000 taels per person." The steward reminded Ye Zhen with a smile, but she was wondering where did this beautiful and refined girl come from, didn't she go out to sea alone? That courage is really quite big.
"How much is this thousand vanilla pendant worth?" Ye Yiqing brought a jade pendant in his hand to the steward and asked.
"What?" The steward was stunned for a moment, Qian Xiangcao Pei? They actually still have such a treasure. Isn't this a national treasure that Baoxiang Kingdom has never heard of
Ye Zhen didn't expect her father to bring this with her, King Dai Luo gave them several thousand vanilla pendants, is this worth one hundred thousand taels
The stunned look on the steward's face was quickly covered up, "Please come in, both of you."
Although the others don't give in, it's not bad to let the two of them in.
Ye Yiqing handed over the thousand vanilla pendant in his hand to the steward, stamped his fingerprints and took the receipt, before they walked into the real auction house.
What a big auction table!
It's not that Ye Zhen has never seen an auction platform, but this is the first time she has seen such a big one.
The auction platform is semicircular and carved out of huge stones. There are dozens of round tables in front, and the second floor is full of wing rooms, but they can see the scene of the auction platform more clearly. Ye Yiqing and the others were invited to the room on the second floor. Wing.
It seems that the positions in the auction house are all arranged, and you can't sit wherever you want.
"Father, what will be auctioned? It seems very mysterious." Ye Zhen asked Ye Yiqing suspiciously.
Ye Yiqing picked up a golden list from the table, "It seems that they are all rare treasures from various countries."
"There are these on it?" Ye Zhen walked over and took a look, and saw that there was a blank space on the list, "What does this blank mean?"
"People." Ye Yiqing's eyes fell on the stamp on the list.
water? It seems that this Shui family has a lot of power in Nanzhou. This auction house cannot be opened by just anyone. If you are powerful, you have to be rich. It seems that no matter where you go, power is something that can control everything.
Ye Zhen is not very interested in the auction items, she just came to watch the excitement, "Father, let's sit over there and watch."
"Yeah." Ye Yiqing sat down on the chair by the window, just in time to see the situation on the auction stage.
"Daddy, if the emperors of the Hua Kingdom are really descendants of the Huangfu family, will they return to the Central Plains one day?" Ye Zhen looked at the people below. Every face was unfamiliar, but they looked very familiar. Familiar, they are all Han Chinese, if their boat hadn't been on the sea for so long, she would have thought that they had returned to Jin Kingdom.
A servant came in to deliver snacks and tea to Ye Yiqing and the others. There was also a brand, and if you liked the product you wanted, you could put up a bid for it.
"How do you get your products?" Ye Zhen asked curiously.
The servant returned respectfully, "Some businessmen from other places have accidents at sea, or business failures and need capital, they will ask our Master Shui for help."
"Master Shui?" Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows, "So, the auctioned goods are all brought to you by others... that Master Shui?"
"It's all commodities that haven't been redeemed after the deadline, so there won't be any problem." The boy said.
Ye Zhen nodded clearly, "Understood."
The auction downstairs has already started, and the auction items are indeed rare treasures, but Ye Zhen is not interested in these treasures, instead she is very curious about those who are competing for the auction, some of them seem to be foreign businessmen, some are local Yes, I seem to be very interested in those products.
After such a long time at sea, she felt nostalgic to feel this atmosphere again.
Ye Yiqing's attention wasn't on those commodities and people, he was looking at the wing in the middle of the auction stage. Unlike other rooms, that wing was covered by a black curtain, so he couldn't see clearly who was sitting inside. He just saw the steward who stopped them outside the door appear there.
The owner of the auction is probably there.
Suddenly, there was a burst of lively shouts from downstairs. It turned out that the most critical moment had come, and the slave who appeared for the first time in the auction was about to come out.
Because no one has ever been auctioned before, everyone is full of curiosity.
Ye Zhen transferred the realization to the auction stage, and she also wanted to know who would be auctioned as a commodity.
When two men in black appeared pulling a man tied up in iron chains, Ye Zhen's eyes widened, didn't she
