Considering that the situation in ancient times was different from modern times, men and women could not sit at the same table, and he was worried that due to the influence of power, high-ranking officials and top tycoons would appear and no one else dared to quote, so Xiao Lingyan had someone inspect all the teahouses in the capital.

I bought one of them directly at a high price.

The teahouse he bought was originally used for listening to books.

In order to make it easier for everyone to see the storyteller's expression and hear the storyteller's voice, a high platform was built in the middle. For amplification, four empty jars were buried in front of the platform. The amplification effect was good.

There were rows of seats under the stage, and a semicircular two-story building was built around these seats. The upper floors were all semi-open boxes. Only a fence was built facing the high storytelling platform.

After Xiao Lingyan bought the teahouse, he asked the craftsmen to quickly repair it, adjusted the tables and chairs, and installed a translucent curtain in the semi-open box, which became the venue for the auction.

During this period, not only did Zhao Ruxi train his subordinates, but Xiao Lingyan also trained a group of people. He retrained a group of dead soldiers and also collected some disciples and servants who wanted to follow him.

However, the ancients had never seen such a thing as an auction. Just listening to what he said, I still couldn't understand some aspects. In addition, time was tight and Xiao Lingyan was free, so he was mainly responsible for organizing this first auction.

Just now he was discussing with Xiao Lingpu the allocation of the boxes upstairs.

There are too many dignitaries in the capital and too few private rooms. How to allocate them is a problem. If the allocation is not good, it is very easy to offend people.

Fortunately, the ancients had a good habit of replying to posts after receiving them. Therefore, Xiao Lingyan knew who would come and who would not.

Because this business clearly carried the banner of Xiao Lingyan, even if the prince, the third and fourth princes were at odds with Xiao Lingyan, they still had to pretend to be respectful and harmonious on the surface. So they all expressed their intention to come.

The emperor and the princes all gave face to each other, and the princes, nobles and ministers naturally did not dare not to come. If I didn’t have time, my wife could come and see the excitement. Therefore, not one of the invitations Xiao Lingyan sent out was rejected.

They all expressed their intention to come.

After receiving the reply, he discussed with Xiao Lingpu, sorted the powerful ones from high to low, and then arranged the seats.

The middle box upstairs must be for the emperor's chamberlain. On either side are the prince's and prince's boxes.

On both sides of the prince's box, Xiao Lingyan arranged for Zhennan Wang and other princes and county princes. On both sides were the princes of the country and the heads of the three ministers and six departments.

Fortunately, the titles of the Jin Dynasty have been recycled over the years, and they are rarely given titles again, so the number of princes and dukes is not very large, and the heads of the three ministers and six ministers just occupy the upstairs box.

The extra one was given to Kang Shilin.

As Kang Shilin's apprentice, Zhao Ruxi sat with his master.

Xiao Lingyan simply asked people to divide the seats downstairs into two rows, leaving an aisle in the middle. The aristocratic families and the officials sat on both sides, with clear distinctions. The senior officials sat in the front, the junior officials sat in the back, and so on.

This also avoided the dispute between Marquis Pingnan and the Minister of Civil Affairs as to who should sit in the front and who should sit in the back. Otherwise, a big battle would have to occur.

Even if everyone has the restraint not to make a fuss on the spot, they will definitely feel unhappy. The debt will be pinned to Xiao Lingpu. Who said he and Xiao Lingyan are one and the same? The younger brother is ignorant, and the older brother can't think of this.

?

Xiao Lingyan was busy downstairs, while Xiao Lingpu upstairs had finished introducing the auction, asked about the situation at the border, and said: "It's been a few months since you came here again and again. Your marriage can't be held any longer.

The delay continues. What on earth do you think?"

Fu Yunkai said nothing.

He was a military general who fought in the war. He returned to Beijing for a vacation to resolve marriage issues, and there was no need for him to go on errands such as transporting grain and grass.

But when he stayed in the capital and was bothered by Xiao Lingpu and his mother, he knew that his marriage could not be delayed any longer. Since he couldn't find the right person for a while, he was unwilling to make do with it, so he simply asked for a job.

, to avoid this annoying problem by transporting grain and grass to the border.

Now that he has just returned to Beijing and his butt is still hot, his friend brings up old things again. Fu Yun is happy and feels irritated.

But he also knows that his friends are doing it for his own good.

After all, he can't stay in the capital for several years just to get married.

My father was alone at the border, unable to support himself, and there was always something he couldn't take care of.

Those lieutenants were all members of various factions, and they were all eyeing my father's position, and none of them were worried. If my father was accidentally plotted by others, he might lose his life.

And he himself, as the prince of Pingnanhou, must get married and leave a heir for the Fu family.

Otherwise, if anything happens to him and his father at the border, and Fu Yunlang is plotted against, the entire family property will become someone else's. The rest of my mother's life will be difficult.

Furthermore, he also had to find someone to take care of the back house for him. He could not let his mother take charge of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion any longer and hinder him and his father from behind.

He sighed heavily and rubbed his brow.

"How about I make arrangements for Miss Cen to bring Miss Mu out so that you can meet her? Don't always look at people with a colored eye. Not all girls from aristocratic families are what you think. What if this one

Miss Mu is an outstanding person?" Xiao Lingpu advised.

"Okay." Fu Yunkai said helplessly.

…

The weather was getting colder and colder, and there were fewer training classes. Zhao Ruxi returned to the Hou Mansion early that day.

As soon as the concierge saw her, he came up to her and smiled enthusiastically: "Girl, are you back? The eldest young master and the sixth girl from the second room are talking to the old lady at the moment."

People were diligent in delivering news to him, so even if Zhao Ruxi wasn't interested in it, it would be hard to show it.

She raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Really? Miss Six is ​​here too?"

She turned to Qing Feng and told Qing Feng: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Uncle Liu is also working hard. Tomorrow you can bring ten kilograms of dried vermicelli from Zhuangzi to Uncle Liu."

"Oh, thank you so much, girl." Uncle Liu saluted quickly.

As a group of people walked in, Qing Feng wondered: "Don't Miss Six have to go to school? Why is she here free today?"

The training class also has a ten-day holiday. The training class continues to have classes today, and naturally it is not the ten-day holiday. The Capital Girls' College also has classes.

After thinking about the auction that was going to be held tomorrow, Zhao Ruxi got thoughtful and said, "Maybe you come to me if you have something to do."

With Fu Yunlang's personality, if he does such a big thing, he will definitely brag in front of his sweetheart.
