The four great masters gathered together one after another, and then looked at the "Difficult Way" written by Li Bai.

At this time, Chen Ersheng came over and whispered in Liu Chan's ear: "Mr. Liu, the auction is about to begin now."

"These beauty pageants are almost over, so why not go to the auction hall first?"

Liu Chan nodded and said, "Okay! You go there first, I'll go there soon."

Chen Ersheng nodded, then informed Gao Changgong and others.

Of course! Almost few people who can make him informed were allowed to report, except for Liu Chan, Gao Changgong and others.

When he went over to report, everyone nodded.

For them, the beauty pageant was just something that literati and students exchanged. What they really meant was the auction on the fourth floor of the Chaomu Tower tonight.

The auction is not very big, and can accommodate hundreds of people, but these hundreds of people are all wealthy businessmen under Jiangling who rushed over from all over the country.

To get what they need at auction.

Soon the beauty pageant was left with only some talented scholars, such as Liu Chan, Gao Changgong, Zheng Jianhua, Chen Haiyang and others, all began to leave.

Those who don’t know the matter thought the meeting was over. Those who know a little bit also knew that those auctions were not something they could go to, and they just waited on the spot.

The ratings of the four major magistrates were all out.

But what is a bit shocking is that Li Bai's poem actually scored thirty-seven points.

Three people gave nine points and one person gave ten points, which was undoubtedly a recognition of Li Bai's strength.

But what's even more excessive is not counting. The four Grand Secretary directly announced that the beauties supported by Li Bai directly obtained one of the four beauties.

The remaining three places are selected from the twelve poems just selected.

The beauty pageant is now coming to an end.

When Li Bai learned that Wang Ruxin had successfully won the quota of one of the four beauties, he smiled and said, "Miss Wang, I will live up to your expectations."

"Thank you, my son."

"You're welcome, this is something you should get. As for when you enter Chang'an in the future, you can only seek help from other talents."

"After all, Li can't help you all your life."

Wang Ruxin's face changed when she heard this...

In Jiangling, it was because of Li Bai that she could seize a place for beauty. If she arrived in Chang'an City, how could she seize the courtesan without Li Bai?

Wang Ruxin asked with a hint of nervous expression: "Young Master... don't you plan to help me to the end?"

Li Bai shook his head and said, "To be honest, today is entirely due to the humiliation that you were just taking some time to attend this banquet, otherwise I wouldn't be interested in coming."

"So, Chang'an and his party, you can do it yourself!"

"Young Master..."

"Miss Ruxin doesn't need to say anything more. I have decided to meet again if I have the chance."

Li Bai said that, he ignored Wang Ruxin and headed to the auction venue.

Seeing this, Wang Ruxin took a step forward, not caring about the public's eyes. She reached out and grabbed Li Bai's generous palm and said, "If you leave like this, how can I find you in the future?"

"Girl..." Li Bai frowned slightly, not happy to be procrastinating with others in these places.

After all, she is not the woman she likes. Although she is beautiful, Li Baixin has something to do.

Wang Ruxin quickly let go of Li Bai's hand, panicked for a while, then turned around and showed a bright and charming look, and said with a smile: "Young Master, you helped me tonight, will I invite you out to eat something?"

"No need, I have to attend an auction here."

"Oh? Auction, can that young master take me to see it?" Although Wang Ruxin knew that there was such an auction, she had never been there.

If Li Bai could take her to see her, it would be better.

When Li Bai heard this, he pondered for a while. He wanted to refuse. After all, when there were Liu Chan or Bian Que's things in this auction, he would definitely have to show his wealth.

He doesn't want people to mistakenly think that he is relying on money to support his own talents.

However, blindly rejecting a woman also made her look ungraceful, so Li Bai had to nod.

He took Wang Ruxin away from the scene.

At the scene, they were still fighting for a place for a beauty and bleeding.

In the attic, Zhang Menglu's eyes were covered with bloodshot... Originally, a beauty quota had her share.

But now... not only is there no more places, but it is even likely that it will be suppressed by the madam Chaomulou.

She burst into tears in an instant.

...

Li Bai took Wang Ruxin into the auction venue.

This auction is very high-end. Except for some ordinary chamber of commerce managers sitting in the hall, others like Liu Chan, Gao Changgong and others are all sitting in private rooms in the attic.

Will the auctions in ancient times be the same as in modern times? I kept asking whoever asked how much money they had called.

In ancient times, if you wanted to auction something, the item would have a minimum price. For example, the price was 50 taels, and then you would ring the bell and call the price.

This bidding method can be called in the default way, that is, the price of the item is 20%, which is 50 taels of things. If you knock it, you will add ten taels.

Anyone who knocks on it will add ten taels, and people on their auction table will count the price and then report it out.

Now the auction has begun, and everyone is asking for a jade pendant. It is rumored that this jade pendant was taken by Emperor Gaozong of Tang, but it was later leaked out of the palace.

Finally, it was auctioned several times.

Almost anyone is rushing to ask for anything related to the royal family. After all, this is equivalent to telling others how rich their financial resources are, and they can actually own the jade pendant of a man who is related to the queen.

The price has been sold for more than 10,000 taels of silver.

Looking at the trend, the price should still be rising.

Sure enough, you can see different scenery from different positions and positions.

Li Bai thought that one thousand taels were already a lot, but at such an auction, one thousand taels was really not enough for a small item.

Liu Chan smiled beside Li Bai and said, "This group of ignorant businessmen, a piece of ordinary Hetian jade, was sold for tens of thousands of taels."

Bian Que curled his lips and said, "If you have that money, it is better to use it on some practical things."

Both said they could not understand what these businessmen did.

Li Bai smiled and said, "Maybe this Hetian jade is just an ordinary jade artifact to you."

"But for some people who are not worth a lot of money but are urgently needed to be recognized by others, the jade pendant brought by Emperor Gaozong of Tang is obviously a proof of their strength."

"So they have their own difficulties, not in their status, you can't understand why they fought so much for a jade pendant."

"Okay! Anyway, my purpose in this trip is to the Book of Heaven, so I don't bother with the rest."

"Well! But is there any of this fragment of the Heavenly Book?"

“There may be…”
