Chapter 173 Go Back and Bring the Silver
As soon as the judge on stage finished speaking, the audience erupted in cheers.
Wow, that's an astronomical price!
A tiny Baoji Pill has a starting bid of ten thousand taels of silver?!
"Why not? This is a miraculous medicine verified by His Majesty, and besides, things are valued for their rarity."
You don't need to worry, there are plenty of people who will buy it!
"..."
Hearing the price quote, He Yuyan frowned.
But I was conflicted.
The starting bid is 10,000 taels of silver.
How can it be so expensive?
She only brought one thousand taels of silver today.
I originally thought even a thousand taels would be too much.
However, it was just a small pill, and its effects had not yet been verified.
Jiang Yuanhua noticed that her brows were slightly furrowed.
He asked curiously, "Sister He, did you come here today for this Baoji Pill?"
He Yuyan looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
"If this pill works for you, I'll buy it and give it to you."
Jiang Yuanhua answered without hesitation.
"No, no need, I can buy it myself..."
Although she was somewhat tempted.
But her pride wouldn't allow her to accept gifts from other men.
Besides, those people had made many speculations about her relationship with Jiang Yuanhua, so if she accepted his offer...
They'll probably say even harsher things then.
Seeing that He Yuyan refused, Jiang Yuanhua was somewhat disappointed.
Sister He still refused to accept his kindness.
Although Jiang Yuanhua was only fourteen years old, he already had the innocent thoughts of a boy.
He knew that He Yuyan already belonged to another man, but he couldn't control his feelings for her.
If he had the ability, he would have already taken her as his wife.
It's hateful that Lu Hanting betrayed Sister He.
As the sound of the hammer hitting the ground echoed on the stage.
The bidding for Baoji Ginseng Pills has reached 18,000 taels.
"Twenty thousand taels."
At this moment, a rich young master raised the red card in his hand.
The rich young master was a notorious playboy in the capital.
A mere 20,000 taels of silver is nothing to them.
"Twenty thousand taels per time, anyone want to pay more?"
The official asked the crowd below.
"Twenty-one thousand taels."
Someone added an extra thousand taels.
The female judge looked at the audience below the stage, a smile appearing on her lips.
"Twenty-five thousand taels."
He Yuyan raised the red card in her hand with trembling hands.
It's only 25,000 taels, which she can afford.
She was determined to get this Po Chai Ginseng Pill today.
"Twenty-five thousand taels at a time..."
"Twenty-five thousand taels, the second time..."
"Thirty thousand taels."
As the final clapper fell, a handsome young man walked in through the doorway.
He Yuyan was stunned.
Upon meeting the gaze of the approaching man, He Yuyan's eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
It is Prince Min.
Why would he try to take it from me?
"Yan'er, I heard that this medicine is very effective."
"What, are you the only one allowed to bid?"
He Yuyan glanced at him with her cool and aloof eyes.
"Your Highness is too kind, how could Yan'er dare to say that?"
With the addition of Min Wang, the scene became lively for a while.
Even those who hadn't bid before were now joining in.
These silent people aren't unwilling to buy; they just want the people in front to test the waters.
Upon seeing this, He Yuyan fell silent.
Wu Weiwei, who was watching from the private room upstairs, curled the corners of her lips into a smile.
This pill has now been sold for as much as 40,000 yuan.
This was beyond her expectations.
She never expected that the "poisoned pill" the prince gave her would be so popular.
It seems that Lu Hanting really did give the right gift.
"Fifty thousand taels for the second time, anyone want to raise the price?"
The alluring female auctioneer couldn't hide the joy on her face and asked in a charming voice.
It's unbelievable that such a small pill would be so popular and fetch such a high price.
"Fifty-five thousand taels."
Just as the judge was about to strike the third time, He Yuyan made her move.
Her face was as if it had been soaked in frost, and her whole body was filled with coldness.
He Yuyan's hands trembled the moment she raised the sign.
She just hoped that no one else would raise the price and compete with her for it.
Because this was already the maximum she could endure.
All she has left is 55,000 taels of silver.
The 50,000 taels of silver here were given by Xie Ningxin a couple of days ago as a thank you for treating her facial sores.
She planned to borrow the remaining five thousand taels of silver from Jiang Yuanye, who was standing beside her.
She didn't want to use his money, but for the sake of these pills...
She gave up.
King Min looked at the woman he had once loved.
He sneered, "Yan'er, you really have a grand scheme."
I'll give you this pill today!
After all, I'm not someone who doesn't know how to cherish women.
King Min smiled and said magnanimously.
He Yuyan looked at the mocking smile on Min Wang's face, and in her heart she hated him to the core.
If it weren't for him, I'm afraid I wouldn't have paid such a high price to win him over.
He Yuyan glanced around and saw everyone looking at her with admiration.
She slowly curled the corners of her lips into a smile.
With such a high price, she believed that no one would compete with her.
Actually, it's not that no one is competing with He Yuyan.
However, the true effects of this pill have not yet been realized.
Since Rong Sheng presented the medicine yesterday, its miraculous effects have been widely circulated throughout the capital.
Everyone was also curious about the effects of this medicine.
However, because the Empress Dowager was too weak, the imperial physicians were afraid that the pills would be too much for her to handle.
Therefore, it was decided to help the Dowager Princess recuperate for a few days before she took this Po Chai Ginseng Pill.
The medicine has not yet shown any effect, yet tens of thousands of taels of silver have been spent to bid for it.
They're not stupid.
Hearing the official on stage pick up the hammer.
He Yuyan was already certain that the pill emitting a black luster was hers for the taking.
The instant the gavel hit the ground, Wu Weiwei pressed a button in the private room.
Immediately, the person standing outside raised their sign towards the judge on the stage.
"Sixty thousand taels."
All eyes turned toward the private room on the second floor.
Who is this?
He actually offered a high price of 60,000 taels of silver to compete with He Yuyan?
He Yuyan's feelings at this moment could not be described as mere anger.
She looked angrily in the direction from the second floor where the sound was coming from.
But then they saw a young waiter wearing the unique uniform of Jubaolou standing outside the private room.
Seeing He Yuyan's angry and furious expression, Jiang Yuanye said helplessly:
"Sister He, those in the private rooms on the second floor are all VIPs invited by Jubao Restaurant, and they are all either rich or noble."
If you really want to buy it, I can try to go up and talk to you about it..."
He Yuyan clutched the handkerchief in her hand tightly, remaining silent.
Silence means consent.
Jiang Yuanye got up and went to the private room on the second floor, and said politely:
"I am Jiang Yuanye, the young master of the Earl's Mansion."
My sister really wants this pill. Could you please be kind enough not to compete with her for it?
Wu Weiwei, who was sitting in the private room eating sunflower seeds, suddenly had a glint in her eyes.
As soon as he raised the price, the female lead's fans came to plead for him.
She looked up and gestured to Wanqiu.
Then Wanqiu said bluntly, "Young Master Jiang, is that right!"
Our master also wants this pill.
According to the rules of Jubaolou, treasures are always awarded to the highest bidder.
If you haven't received enough money, please go back and bring more silver..."
