"Miss, there are really a lot of people here!"
Xiumei observed the crowd excitedly. The people who came were either richly dressed young ladies from aristocratic families, or stewards of the mansion who came on behalf of the masters of each family. These people led the way to Zhuque Street. It's blocked.
"When people were alive, things were as much as they wanted, so they were naturally worthless. Now that people are dead, what is left is the only thing left in the world. Naturally, people are less interested in it, and people come here just for their things. That’s more.” Wei Ruodao.
"Miss, your idea is great!" Xiumei admired Wei Ruo as always.
"The backing of Prince Rui's Mansion is also very useful." Wei Ruo added.
If it weren't for the support of Prince Rui's Mansion, both the Qi family and the Lu family would have put pressure on them, and they wouldn't have been allowed to auction Xu Heyou's relics.
Yu Zixiu, the palace steward, presided over the auction ceremony.
The items to be auctioned are as follows: ten boxes of scar removal ointment, eight bottles of hemostatic medicine, three bottles of wind-cold medicine, twelve pieces of tiger ointment, and twenty pieces of low back pain patches.
During the auction, the same medicine is sold together, and the one with the highest bid gets it.
The first items to be auctioned were ten boxes of scar removal cream.
I thought this would be a scene where everyone was bidding together, but as soon as it came up, the people sent by the Qi family offered a sky-high price of five thousand taels.
This made other people who wanted to join in the fun suddenly have no idea.
No matter how good Doctor Xu's medicine is, it's just for treating minor ailments and is not life-threatening. How can ordinary people spend so much money just for scars?
Besides, no one wants to go against the Qi family for nothing.
Only the Lu family did not give up and began to compete with the Qi family. The two families bid more than ten rounds of prices and soon the price reached more than 10,000 taels.
Everyone onlookers were shocked. They did not expect that today's competition would be so fierce.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that today the two families are not only competing for medicine, but also fighting against each other.
The two families were already complaining about the explosion. Although the emperor had previously intervened to mediate the matter, it now seemed that the two families were at odds with each other and had not reconciled at all.
After several rounds of bidding, the Qi family finally bought ten boxes of scar removal cream for 16,000 taels of silver. Calculating, one box of scar removal cream cost 1,600 taels.
This is the first competing product, and it has already achieved such a high price. There are several more to come. So after today’s bidding, Prince Rui’s Mansion will earn tens of thousands of taels of silver, right?
Wei Mingyong was so surprised that he opened his mouth wide when he heard this.
This money is too profitable, right? A few boxes of ointment for scar removal actually cost so much money? That’s money that ordinary people can’t earn in a few lifetimes!
If it looked like this, Wanwan's spending two thousand taels of silver on a box of scar removal cream wasn't too silly.
He and his wife had joked about Wanwan secretly before, saying that she borrowed two thousand taels of silver to buy a box of scar removal cream because she was suffering from fever.
It seems that there are really so many fools in this world who care about their appearance!
In the crowd, Wei Ruo was very satisfied with the result.
"The capital is indeed a good place." Wei Ruodao.
If this was in Huzhou, where she used to live, there wouldn't be such a battle, and naturally the price wouldn't be high.
Lin Fang bumped Xiumei's head with her elbow and asked, "Have young ladies always been so savvy about making money?" "
Yes, young lady has always known how to make money." Xiumei said proudly. said.
Lin Fang couldn't help but sigh: "The eldest lady and the master are really powerful, and they took full advantage of this incident." She originally thought that arranging Xu Heyou's death was just to let the eldest lady get rid of this identity. , but the master and the eldest lady took advantage of this incident to do extra things.
The master used this time to drive a wedge between the Qi family and King Jing, while the eldest lady used Xu Heyou's death to make a fortune! I can’t accept it!
The auction continued, and the remaining hemostatic medicine, wind-cold medicine, tiger ointment, and low back pain patch were all auctioned off by the Lu family and the Qi family, while the others received nothing.
It's not that others don't want to buy it, it's that they don't have the strength to compete with the Lu family and the Qi family. Even if they have the money, they are not willing to offend the two families on this matter.
After the auction, Wei Ruo returned to the backyard of the palace.
Lin Fang brought the silver notes from today's auction to Wei Ruo.
"Miss, the total is fifty-three thousand six hundred taels of silver."
Wei Ruo took the banknote and said with satisfaction: "As expected of the Lu family and Qi family, they are really rich."
For Wei Ruo, the cost of those medicines was not high, and in the end Selling it for such a sky-high price is a huge profit!
"Miss, your medicine is so valuable, so you don't have to spend so much effort to buy so many houses and plant so much land. If you sell more medicine, you can have everything." Lin Fang said with emotion.
"No. First, you can't sell more of this medicine. The scarcity of the medicine makes it expensive. If you sell it in large quantities, it becomes worthless. Do you know why these medicines are so expensive today? A large part of the reason is that everyone thinks that Xu Heyou After death, these medicines are the only ones left in the world. On the other hand, the fighting spirit between the Lu family and the Qi family also makes the price of medicines today extremely high." "Second, farming is not only for making money,
if there is a food shortage, everyone will If you have no food to eat, what will happen if you have money in your hands? Money can't fill your stomach, only food can."
Wei Ruo explained to Lin Fang.
Lin Fang thought carefully about what Wei Ruo said, and then said: "My subordinate is superficial." "
Okay, let's not talk about it. I happen to have taken a fancy to a few properties near the capital, as well as a few on Baihu Street. This shop has a high price, and I was reluctant to buy it before. Now I just have the money to buy it. You two come with me." "Yes,
Miss."
Xiumei and Lin Fang responded in unison.
###
On the eighth day of August, King Yu got married.
Compared with the grand occasion when Wei Ruo got married, today's Uncle Zhongyi's mansion is much more deserted.
It's not that Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion doesn't want to give Wei Qingwan a big deal, but it's just that it can't.
They were provoking Wei Qingwan according to Wei Ruo's marriage specifications, not only provoking the Qi family, but also provoking the royal family.
The standards for marrying a side concubine cannot exceed those of the main concubine.
And the last time Wei Ruo got married, the emperor authorized Wei Mingting to come back to preside over the wedding and send his daughter off to get married. This time Wei Qingwan got married, there was no such treatment.
Mrs. Wei's makeup for Wei Qingwan followed the previously agreed standards for the legitimate daughter, and did not go beyond Wei Ruo, the eldest daughter.
The Yun family also prepared the dowry for Wei Qingwan as originally planned, and there was no more.
Mrs. Bai was very attentive and bought two large boxes of makeup for Wei Qingwan, including jewelry, silk and porcelain. It was obvious that a lot of money was spent.
Wei Yichen did not add makeup to Wei Qingwan, and did not even say a word of advice to her.
Regarding Wei Qingwan's marriage, he had been very indifferent from beginning to end.
Wei Yilin ignored Wei Qingwan at all, and only stood with other elders to watch her get on the sedan chair when he sent her away.
