Chapter 90 Competition
As for the ladies sitting on the chairs below, they felt that their eyes were filled with bright colors, overflowing with brilliance, and dazzling brilliance. The precious and shining jewelry made them almost unable to open their eyes.
Qi Mei waved to the waiter and motioned him to bring the things closer to the stage so that everyone could see them more clearly.
"The starting price is five thousand taels of silver, and each increase in price shall not be less than two hundred taels of silver... The one with the highest price will win. Our store will give away a set of jewelry worth no less than one thousand two hundred taels of silver to the final winner."
The starting price is 5,000 taels of silver. This set of butterfly opera double flower gilt jewelry inlaid with emeralds is definitely worth the money, high quality and low price.
And he also gave me a set of 1,200 taels of silver as a gift. Oh my god, this is really a piece of pie in the sky.
Moreover, such good jewelry can be taken home as a family heirloom.
A group of noble people, their faces shining with excitement.
A lady in her thirties, wearing a gold-colored butterfly skirt and a floral cloud satin skirt, first shouted: "Five thousand two hundred taels."
After the first one, there was the second one, and then...the atmosphere at the scene became more and more intense.
There were more than sixty noble ladies present, some were wives of officials, some were wives of wealthy businessmen, and some were wives of aristocratic families, or wives of ministers. In short, every lady was a powerful, status and rich lady.
Everyone has pride, and no one wants to be suppressed by the other party and embarrass themselves.
Your family has money, huh, my family has more money than yours.
Than rich, come on, let's see who has more money.
Ahem... Of course it is the wife of the wealthy businessman who has the most money.
Yi'an City is rich and there are many wealthy businessmen. If you find a wealthy businessman's wife at random, she will be the owner of an extremely wealthy family. You can get tens of thousands of taels of silver at a flick of the hand without even blinking an eye.
As for the officials' wives, let alone their own salaries, they can't make much money from work all year round, but they can't help but make extra money. As soon as he took action, he made ninety-nine thousand.
Compared with those wealthy businessmen who make money, they are definitely not at a disadvantage.
Therefore, wealthy and powerful official wives have straight backs and do not want to lose to business wives who are not on the stage.
Since ancient times, among scholars, farmers, and merchants, the status of businessmen has been at the bottom of the list. They have the lowest status. Wherever they go, they have to bow to others.
People who take the official path consider themselves noble and arrogant, and naturally look down on businessmen. They think that businessmen smell like copper and only care about money, not people.
And Yi'an City is big or small, and in the aristocratic circle, everyone knows everyone.
Even if you don’t know him, you will get to know him after being introduced by someone who is familiar with you.
After some fierce competition, slowly, a very clever situation was formed on the scene.
The wife of an official and the wife of a wealthy businessman have unintentionally become rivals, with neither one giving in to the other.
The base price of five thousand taels of silver suddenly rose to seven thousand taels of silver as you fought for it.
Seven thousand taels of silver, my God, when they got married, the entire dowry was not that much.
A flock of crows flew before the eyes of the officials and ladies, their ears were buzzing, and their hearts ached.
But when they saw the proud looks in the eyes of a group of wealthy businessmen's wives, they waved their hands and put the pain behind them, and continued to spend money and compete for things.
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, their master's money is easy to come by. Three years to become the prefect, it's a hundred thousand snowflakes.
