A Blessed Daughter: Chapter 505 another big profit
"Miss, there are really a lot of people here!"
Xiumei observed the crowd excitedly. The people who came were either luxuriously dressed young ladies from aristocratic families, or the housekeepers who came on behalf of the masters of the various families. These people blocked the Zhuque Avenue.
"When people are alive, they have as many things as they want, and naturally they are worthless. Now that people are dead, what is left is only in the world, and everyone is naturally rare. People who come for his things are also worthless. That's too much." Wei Ruo said.
"Miss, your idea is really good!" 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, the Qi family and the Lu family would have put pressure together, and they wouldn't be allowed to auction off Xu Heyou's relics.
The housekeeper Yu Zixiu presided over the auction ceremony.
The items to be auctioned are as follows: ten boxes of scar-removing ointment, eight bottles of hemostatic medicine, three bottles of wind-cold medicine, twelve pieces of tiger ointment, and twenty pieces of lumbago paste.
During the auction, the same drug is sold together, and the one with the highest price wins.
The first auction was ten boxes of scar cream.
I thought this would be a scene where everyone bid together, but who would have thought that as soon as it came up, the people sent by the Qi family offered a sky-high price of 5,000 taels.
This made other people who wanted to join in the fun suddenly lose their minds.
No matter how good the miracle doctor's medicines are, they are just medicines for minor ailments, not life-threatening. How can ordinary people pay such a high price for scars?
Besides, everyone doesn't want to be right with the Qi family.
Only the Lu family did not give up, and began to compete with the Qi family. After more than a dozen rounds of bidding, the price quickly reached more than 10,000 taels.
All the onlookers were shocked, they didn't expect today's competition to be so fierce.
A discerning eye can see that today these two families are not only fighting for medicine, but also fighting each other.
The two families had complained to each other about the explosion. Although the emperor had intervened before, it seems that the two families were at odds with each other, and there was no reconciliation at all.
After several rounds of bidding, the Qi family finally won ten boxes of scar removal cream for 16,000 taels of silver, and the asking price for a box of scar removal cream was 1,600 taels.
This is still the first competing product, and it has already fetched such a high price, and there are several more items to come, so after today's auction, Prince Rui's Mansion must not earn tens of thousands of taels of silver?
Wei Mingyong opened his mouth in surprise when he heard this.
This money is too easy to earn, right? A few boxes of ointment for removing scars sell for so much money? That's a lot of money that ordinary people can't earn in a few lifetimes!
If you look at it this way, it is not too stupid for Wanwan to spend two thousand taels of silver on a box of scar removal cream.
Earlier, he and his wife had often joked about Wanwan behind their backs, saying that she borrowed two thousand taels of silver to buy a box of scar removal cream because she was burnt out.
It seems that there are so many fools in this world who really care about their appearance!
Among the crowd, Wei Ruo was very satisfied with the result.
"The capital is really a good place." Wei Ruo said.
If it was in the Huzhou capital where she lived in the past, such a battle would not be possible, and naturally the price would not be able to be sold.
Lin Fang elbowed Xiumei's head, and asked, "Is the eldest lady always such a money-making mind?"
"Yes, Miss has always known how to make money." Xiumei said proudly.
Lin Fang couldn't help but sighed: "Miss and master are really powerful, just this one thing, they were used to the fullest by the two of them."
Originally thought that arranging Xu Heyou's death was simply to let the eldest miss get rid of this identity, but the master and the eldest miss took advantage of this matter to do extra things.
The master took advantage of this time to provoke the relationship between the Qi family and King Jing, and the eldest lady took advantage of 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, and the rest of the family had nothing.
It's not that other people don't want to buy it, it's because they don't have the strength to compete with the Lu family and the Qi family. Even if they have the money, they don't want to offend these two families in such a matter.
After the auction, Wei Ruo returned to the backyard of the palace.
Lin Fang brought Wei Ruo the bank note that was auctioned today.
"Miss, a total of 53,600 taels of silver."
Wei Ruo took the bank note 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 it was sold at such a sky-high price, it was a huge profit!
"Miss, your medicine is so valuable, so you don't need to spend so much effort to buy so many fields, houses and land, and you can have everything if you sell more medicine." Lin Fang said with emotion.
"No. First, this medicine cannot be sold in large quantities. Rare things are expensive, and if they are sold in excess, they are worthless. Do you know why these medicines are so expensive today? A large part of the reason is that everyone thinks Xu He is right. If you are dead, these medicines are the only ones left in the world. On the other hand, the grudges of the Lu family and the Qi family have also made the prices of medicines extremely high today."
"Second, farming is not only for making money. If the grain is not harvested and everyone has no food to eat, what can you do if you have money in your hands? If money can't fill your stomach, only food can."
Wei Ruo explained to Lin Fang.
Lin Fang thought about Wei Ruo's words seriously, and then said: "It's my subordinates who are superficial."
"Okay, let's not talk about this. I just took a fancy to a few properties near the capital, and a few shops on Baihu Street. The prices are relatively high, and I was reluctant to buy them before. Now I just use the money to buy them. You guys Come with me, two."
"Yes, miss."
Xiumei and Lin Fang responded in unison.
###
On the eighth day of August, King Yu got married.
Compared to the grand occasion when Wei Ruo got married, today's Zhongyibo Mansion is much deserted.
It's not that the Zhongyi Bofu doesn't want to give Wei Qingwan a big deal, but it can't.
They made Wei Qingwan follow Wei Ruo's marriage specifications, which was tantamount to provoking, not only provoking the Qi family, but also provoking the royal family.
The criteria for marrying a side concubine cannot exceed that of a main concubine.
And the last time Wei Ruo got married, the emperor authorized Wei Mingting to come back to officiate the wedding and send off his daughter to marry, but this time Wei Qingwan got married, there will be no such treatment.
Lady Wei added makeup to Wei Qingwan in accordance with the standard for the first daughter as agreed before, and did not exceed Wei Ruo, the eldest daughter.
Yun's dowry was also prepared for Wei Qingwan according to the original plan, and there were no more.
Bai's family is quite industrious, and added two big boxes of makeup to Wei Qingwan, including jewelry, silk and porcelain. It can be seen that a lot of money was spent.
Wei Yichen didn't add makeup to Wei Qingwan, and didn't even say a word of advice to her.
Regarding Wei Qingwan's marriage, he was very indifferent from the beginning to the end.
Wei Yilin even ignored Wei Qingwan at all, and only stood with the other elders to watch her get on the bridal sedan chair when she was sent away from the house.
