After Li Fan finished speaking, the maids standing around took the lead in applauding, and instantly, the applause in the second floor sounded.

After the applause, Li Fan lifted a piece of red cloth on the desk and said, "Let's talk about it less, now the first item for auction is started, and there is a piece of paper in the Shengshangyu Study Room!"

As he said that, Li Fan raised the broken corner of the paperweight and deliberately showed the broken corner to everyone.

After the display, he handed the paperweight to Tang Feng and took it downstairs, so that the people who were waiting downstairs could take a look.

When the paperweight returned to Li Fan's desk, Li Fan said in a group of confused eyes: "Everyone must be very confused. Why is the imperial objects used by the emperor missing a corner?"

Without waiting for others to ask questions, Li Fan explained: "This paperweight is made from the Hetian white jade from Kunlun Mountain in the Western Regions, which is a tribute from the Western Regions.

It is placed on the Dragon Book Case in the Imperial Study Room all year round, and this item is used whenever the emperor reviews memorials.

But when I saw the border 800 miles in the lord, I was furious. The brutal barbarians invaded the border, killed our Ming people, robbed our Ming finances, and committed numerous crimes!

After reading the urgent report, the emperor was so angry that he grabbed this piece of paper and threw it into the ground. It was this anger that buried a million corpses and blood flowed thousands of miles away! The barbarians who violated the border were destroyed and achieved great martial arts in the Ming Dynasty!

However, this piece of paperweight was kept by the Lord, becoming a thing that awakened him from time to time. He no longer ignored the barbarians on the grassland, and must not let them violate the Central Plains again. If the Lord had not cared about the victims, he would never have taken it out for auction.

Now this piece of broken paperweight has a silver ounce at the bottom price. Interested friends can bid!”

After Li Fan finished speaking, he looked forward with a smile. But the scene of his bidding that he expected did not happen, but was surprisingly quiet.

Peat! Are you too arrogant?

Just when Li Fan thought the paperweight was about to fail to shoot, a long vent sound of breath sounded in the crowd.

"Huh...! It turned out to be the year that the Lord of the Lord inherited the treasure. No wonder the Lord of the Lord was so angry!"

"Yes! I heard that the Hu barbarians killed by the Qi family army in the battle were buried for thousands of miles, and Dong Fox would never dare to offend the border again!"

"This is a good thing to protect the house and ward off evil spirits. You have to buy it for as much as possible!"

...

Listening to the verbal discussion, a smile appeared on Li Fan's face. He made a secret gesture to ask the person who was preparing to bid to return.

"One hundred taels! I'll pay one hundred taels!" A fat man with a big belly took the lead in bidding.

As soon as he finished speaking, not far from him, a thin old man said disdainfully: "Fatty Wu! I want to get involved in the imperial objects? I will give you five hundred taels!"

"Old Sun! You usually want to spend a penny in half, so don't argue with our Wu Ji Grain Store. I'll pay a thousand taels!"

With two people taking the lead, the scene became lively for a while. Everyone seemed to have reached a consensus that the price increase was not less than 500 taels each time. This paperweight also rose and soon exceeded 10,000 taels.

Seeing that the bid was stopped, Li Fan raised the paperweight and shouted loudly: "Ten thousand taels, now it is ten thousand taels. Is there anything more than ten thousand taels of silver?

This is an imperial object of the Lord, and the commemoration is even more important. If you miss it, you won’t get it..."

"Twenty thousand taels! My Risheng Money Shop wants to use this piece of paperweight as the treasure of the store. Don't fight with me, how about?" The old man surnamed Sun stood up and clasped his fists around and said.

With his bid, the few people who were eager to try closed their mouths. Twenty thousand taels of silver were no longer a small amount, and it was not easy to take out so much real money for a moment.

Even the shopkeeper of Wu Jiliang Store who was not in the face of him no longer bid. He turned his eyes and said, "Okay! I'll give you this paperweight, but you can't argue with the good things below!"

"That's nature! That's nature!" The old man surnamed Sun clasped his fists with a smile and looked back at Li Fan.

Li Fan nodded slightly and said, "Is there any price increase? The first time of 20,000 taels, the second time of 20,000 taels, the third time of 20,000 taels, the deal is completed!"

"Bang!"

The last agitation fell, and the paperweight was bought by Risheng Money Shop. Then a maid delivered the paperweight to Manager Sun.

Li Fan was not worried that someone would be dependent on the debt. No one in the Ming Dynasty could be dependent on the emperor's debt, unless he didn't want to stumble in the Ming Dynasty.

Next, Li Fan lifted up another piece of red cloth and took out the bald imperial pen from it.

"Everyone! This imperial pen was made of the small white hair on the edge of the wolf king in the extreme north. In order to make this imperial pen, ten large wolves were killed.

This imperial pen has reviewed countless memorials, and the emperor even used it to select the top scorer, second-tier and Tanhua, who have been selected for several years.

If the previous piece of paperweight represents the great martial arts of the Ming Dynasty, then this imperial pen represents the literary spirit of the world!

I have scholars at home and plan to take the provincial examination. Friends who are in the imperial examination will pay attention. If you are interested in the literary talent, you will definitely pass every exam and everything goes well..."

A bare imperial pen was blown by Li Fan for half an hour before it was displayed to everyone.

Anyway, no one could run into the palace to question it in person. Li Fan was so bragging that he said that there were few imperial pens underground and it was hard to find in the sky.

Just touch this imperial pen, taking the imperial examination will be like playing. If you sleep in a hug, you will be stressed out and you may be the top scorer in high school.

Everyone's eyes turned red. The shopkeeper of Wu Ji Grain Store was the first to stand up and directly quoted a high price of 20,000 taels of silver, but his high price did not scare the others.

"Twenty-one thousand taels!"

"Twenty-five!"

"Thirty thousand!"

...

The price rolled upwards, and the old man in the front row was stunned. Then he shook his head and smiled bitterly. After all, he knew the origin of this imperial pen, and it was just one of the most ordinary tributes.

In the end, this imperial pen was bought by a salt merchant for a high price of 125,000 taels of silver. The guy was so excited that he almost pulled over to get the imperial pen.

When the scene calmed down, Li Fan uncovered the last piece of red cloth and picked up a pair of scrolls.

This time, Li Fan did not praise the lotus method like the first two items, but quietly opened it and displayed it in front of everyone.

"Good family~ Zhu Wannian"

When everyone saw that it was just a pair of words, they were confused. This character was obviously just written and had not been framed yet, so it was not an antique at all.

Although his handwriting is well written, he has never heard of the signature Zhu Wannian, and he is not a master of calligraphy. How could it appear at the royal auction?

Just as everyone looked at Li Fan in confusion, a voice rang out among the crowd.

"Huh...! Why is this character somewhat similar to the signboard of Pinxianlou? I remember that the signature of the signboard seems to be Zhu Wannian!" The person who spoke was the shopkeeper Liu of Zuixianju.

After he reminded me, many people realized that they were frequent visitors to Pinxianlou and naturally paid attention to the signs here.

"Hey! You won't sell your own words! Because you are still talented, I will pay a ounce of silver for this word!" A young voice sounded, which immediately attracted a burst of laughter.

"Stop it! This is your Majesty's handwritten letter. How dare you disrespect me!"
