"An auction on the tenth?" Liang Qu wondered, "Isn't the Sky Vessel Commerce Association in the Imperial Capital held on the same day as other places?"
"I've looked into it, the Imperial Capital and South Zhili each have three auctions a year: one at the beginning, middle, and end. Other places have it twice a year, and our Pingyang area usually has it once in mid-year. So, what do you think, Ashui? Want to go and broaden your horizons?"
"An auction… there must be invitations, right?"
In Pingyang Prefecture, an invitation is always sent for their auctions, done with great courtesy. Without one, attending would require a hefty deposit.
Although not holding a high office and merely a local official, Liang Qu felt that he had made quite a name for himself during his half month in the Capital City.
As expected.
The next morning, the Sky Vessel Commerce Association sent someone with an invitation, inviting Liang Qu to the auction on the tenth day of the month.
