Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 295

Chapter 295 Star Effect
“Something was stolen?” Su Wanwan frowned and asked him.

“Yes! Now this servant has already reported to the official!” As the butler spoke, his forehead started to sweat profusely.

“Did you remember that something was taken away by someone?” Su Wanwan asked the housekeeper, her eyes fixed on the empty carriage. Seeing the housekeeper shaking her head, Su Wanwan said, “No problem, it’s fine. We still have other goods.”

“That’s good.” The butler heaved a sigh of relief and immediately helped him with other things.

Everyone was saddened when they heard that the goods had been stolen. The most nervous ones were the girls. When they thought about the things they wanted to buy being stolen, they wished they could chase after them and send them to the government.

However, they couldn’t do those things!

All they could do was snatch the rest!

Everyone immediately followed Su Wanwan into the garden. They followed Su Wanwan at all times and everywhere. Su Wanwan was helpless and had no choice but to declare her principle of selling things. “Everyone, don’t follow me. There are still some goods, but they are very few, only … half of the things are missing!” “This is the only thing you can buy this year. If you can’t buy it, you can only buy it next year.”

“…”

When everyone heard this, they were unhappy. This could be said to be because monks had more meat than monks! Everyone continued to pester Su Wanwan. However, Su Wanwan had already taken advantage of everyone’s inattention to set up the stage for the preliminary contest. The preliminary contest had not yet begun, but everyone had lost interest in the preliminary contest. They urged, “Miss Zhao, quickly sell your stuff! It would be good to have the preliminary contest after selling it!”

Faced with the enthusiasm of the crowd, Su Wanwan clapped her hands and asked the servants to pick up the things. The detergent in the porcelain bottle was also said to be a necessary item to wash the hands of wealthy families before and after meals. Everyone was very interested in the detergent when they heard it.

Looking at the design of the porcelain bottle, it was like a teapot. With a light pour, it poured out a translucent paste. “Miss Zhao, why is this thing so precious? It’s actually filled with a white jade kettle! How can it be sold?” Someone in the crowd recognized what the teapot was made of and was shocked.

Was this asking about the price? Su Wanwan smiled and said, “Then let’s see how much money everyone can pay.”

After saying that, Su Wanwan asked someone to take out a small hammer and iron sheet. Wasn’t this posture an auction?

Everyone was shocked. A man in the crowd shouted, “Eldest Miss Zhao, this hand-washing item is only ten ordinary items. It’s not appropriate for you to auction it, is it?”

“Why is it inappropriate?” Su Wanwan looked over and was stunned. That person was actually Tang Sheng!

I didn’t expect Tang Sheng to be alive and well! Su Wanwan said, “What, Young Master Tang can’t afford it? After all, this is something that the emperor in the palace must wash his hands with!”

“What? The Emperor must have it?” Everyone was shocked. It was an unparalleled honor to have what the Emperor used!

Actually, this item was said to be a must for the emperor, but it was only because Su Wan had sent it through Old Monster Huang’s hand to specially let her send a few bottles to the emperor for use.

When Su Wanwan saw that everyone’s eyes seemed to be burning, she added, “I don’t know if there is anyone else, but I know that there is one Third Prince, and there is also one in Pang satrap’s family.”

“What?” Everyone was shocked again. Qi Chengfeng and the others all had it! How could they not?

The atmosphere instantly became lively. Under the name of the Emperor and the others, the detergent was no ordinary thing. In addition to the exquisite jade pot, many people were even “drunk”. They specifically participated in the auction to buy the exquisite jade pot for tea.

“Alright, the auction will begin now.” Su Wanwan picked up the hammer and knocked on the iron plate. “Everyone, since the materials are made of white jade and master teachers work, the starting bid is 1,000 taels of silver! Each bid shall not be less than 10 taels of silver!”

Hearing this, everyone fell silent. It was normal for a perfect jade pot to sell for seven to eight hundred taels of silver, but wouldn’t the detergent in this jade pot be two to three hundred taels? So expensive!

How could anyone buy this? Tang Sheng thought that Su Wanwan would set a cheap price and sell more. When he heard this, he couldn’t help but laugh again, “Eldest Miss Zhao, are you crazy about money? Do you think everyone is stupid? Will you spend money to buy this shit?”

“Young Master Tang, aren’t you right?” Su Wanwan looked at Tang Sheng with a hint of pity in her eyes. “Young Master Tang, have you forgotten? This is something that the Emperor and the others use! It’s naturally precious! Could it be that the Emperor and the others are also stupid?”

Tang Sheng didn’t dare to make a fuss when this matter involved the Emperor. His throat felt as if a fly had entered it. He watched as Su Wanwan swallowed the words in her throat and clenched her hands tightly into fists.

Seeing him like this, Su Wanwan no longer looked at him. She introduced the efficacy of the detergent and some precious materials made from it to everyone. Then, she raised the hammer in her hand and knocked on the iron plate. She said in a low voice, “The auction begins. A thousand taels of silver will be sold!”

Although the emperor had it, he didn’t buy it casually like buying cabbage. After a few minutes, one person said, “1010 silver!”

Before everyone could say anything, Su Wanwan raised the hammer in her hand and knocked three times, saying, “One thousand and ten taels of silver should be given to this member!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the servant handed over a wooden token. The auctioneer was considered to have succeeded. The servant held the wooden token in his arms and felt heartache when he thought of sending another 1000 taels of silver over. However, when Su Wanwan mentioned the limited amount of detergent contained in ten jade jugs in the capital, she was extremely fortunate.

The others were different. They all regretted it. One of them was so scared that he jumped up and exclaimed, “What? Only ten portions?”

“No, there are only nine of them now.” As Su Wanwan spoke, her eyes swept the entire arena. The light in her eyes made Tang Sheng both jealous and hateful. Her hand that was hidden under her wide sleeve made a “crack” sound. Then, she searched for a black man in the crowd and nodded at him. The man also nodded. The two of them seemed to have reached an agreement.

“Everyone, please buy as soon as possible! Buy as soon as you can! Buy as soon as you can! Buy as soon as you can!” Su Wanwan opened her mouth again. Everyone became restless and began to bid. However, in a while, they actually called out two thousand taels of silver for a pot!

Seeing that the time had come, the black-clothed man immediately shouted, “Everyone, don’t buy her! There are also people selling this thing on East Street! There are many! It’s only a hundred taels of silver for a pot! Don’t be tricked by this profiteer!”

A hundred taels of silver? Su Wanwan felt that it was funny. She sneered and looked at the man, “I’ll give you a thousand taels of silver. Go buy me ten jugs. How about it?”

The man raised his chin and looked at Su Wanwan contemptuously, “I’m not wrong!”

Just as Su Wanwan was about to call out for him to disrupt the order, a group of people rushed in and shouted, “There are quite a few good things that Miss Zhao has put on display today on East Street! The highest price is no more than 100 taels of silver! Everyone, hurry up and charge! If it’s too late, there won’t be any left!”
