Tang Yan doesn't care about the favor of the egret, but she really wants to give this book, so she should treat it as a meeting gift for her relatives in her mother's family.

"Cousin Egret, for the sake of safety, you can store this book in the Duobao Pavilion first, and then come and take it later when you have the strength to protect yourself."

This suggestion is also the best way that Egret can think of, and leaving the underground black market with the book now is undoubtedly causing trouble.

She nodded, looked at Dong Ji, the boss of Duobao Pavilion, and thought to herself, since her cousin trusted him so much, it should be no problem, don't doubt it, Bai Lu handed over the book with both hands, "Then there is Boss Lao Dong." ”

"You're welcome." Dong Ji didn't take it personally, and gestured to Tong Xuan with a look, and the teenage Xiao Zhengtai obediently took the book.

Dong Ji's gaze left Lu Ning, and he glanced at the egret politely, "I will keep the book for you first, when you want to take it away, you can come at any time, but it must be in person, what do you think of this, girl?" ”

"That's just right." The egret thanked Dong Ji politely again and nodded slightly.

"By the way, Miss Tang, there is something I would like to ask Miss Tang to fulfill." Dong Ji finished politely talking to Bai Lu and immediately talked to Tang Yan.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Tang Yan knew what he wanted to say, except for wanting to be with Lu Ning and begging Tang Yan to be fulfilled, he had nothing else to do by himself.

Tang Yan smiled and waved her hand, "I understand what Boss Dong means, I can do what you want, but not now, I still have some chores to deal with recently, and I can't do without Lu Ning's help, and when I am idle for a while, let's talk about this marriage, but Lu Ning has also been with me for so many years, and I have long regarded her as a relative, so if Boss Dong is sincere, then the eight sedan chairs are being married, so it's not too much, right?" ”

When Dong Ji heard this, his face was overjoyed, "Of course, I understand that someone is absolutely sincere to Lu Ning, if Lu Ning can marry me as his wife in the future, I can guarantee that she will be the only one in my life." ”

In this world, it is common for men to have three wives and four concubines, Dong Ji can say that as long as Lu Ning has such a guarantee, it is really rare, looking at Dong Ji looking up affectionately, Lu Ning was shy and flushed, Tang Yan was also happy for Lu Ning from the bottom of his heart.

"I made a note of what you said, and if you can't do it, I'll take them away at any time." Tang Yan said half-jokingly, then got up and patted the folds on his clothes, raised his head, and met Dong Ji's eyes, "Okay, you can prepare well, you can pick up people at my house on the fifteenth of next month." ”

As she spoke, she looked left and right at Egret and Bai Cheng, "We should also go, and we will take Cousin Egret and Cousin Bai Cheng to another place to have a look." ”

Compared with the lazy coping state when they went out, now there are more and more surprises that Bai Egret and Bai Cheng are willing to follow Tang Yan to various places, almost without even asking a word, Tang Yan's cousin and brother took Lu Ning and left Duobao Pavilion, walked out of the underground black market, and went straight to the famous auction house in Dayan City.

Dayan City, the solemn imperial palace stands in the center of the city, sits in the south and faces north, there are scenes in the southeast, northwest and northwest of the city, among them, the east of the city is prosperous, the west of the city is poor, the civil officials in the south of the city gather, and the military attaché in the north of the city stays. Tang Yan is the daughter of a general, and the location of the general's mansion is naturally in the north of the city.

The auction house in Dayan City is located in the east of the city, where most of the things auctioned daily are scarce and looted in the market, so there are countless dignitaries and nobles who go to the auction house every day.

At the entrance of the auction hall, each person must pay a hundred taels of silver to enter, and this is only the entrance fee, so that no one can mix in.

Tang Yan was no exception, she paid the money, and then brought people into the door.

Although she has a jade plaque in her hand that symbolizes the VIP status of the auction house, in order to keep a low profile, she also enters the door according to the normal procedure.

The seats for 1,000 people in the auction hall are lined up in a semi-circle in the direction of the auction table, and at the top of the seats, there are more than a dozen single auction rooms closed in a half-circle, and each position there requires a corresponding prominent status to be temporarily obtained.

There was no plan to go above, Tang Yan came this time just to see the auction of her new medicine, and took the Bai family sisters and brothers to find a place in front of the auction hall and sit down, quietly waiting for the auction to start.

"Cousin must be here for the first time, right? There is a good thing to auction here today, and we can also try to auction it at that time, I believe it will help your cousin in the talent selection competition in two days. Tang Yan said this casually, the purpose of her coming here today is precisely for this matter.

The egret was unimpressed, "What could help with the game in two days?" ”

Tang Yan didn't say anything, and smiled slightly, "You'll know later." ”

The auction time of the auction began in the evening, and Tang Yan and the others waited for a while, until the seats in the auction hall were almost filled, and the heavy curtain slowly opened in front of the spacious auction table in front of them.

A bewitching woman in a black sexy trailing dress stood in the center of the stage with a smile, "Welcome to the Tianjin Auction House, I am your auction host Concubine Hai, here, I will present different lots to you every day to meet the needs of the audience." Now keep your eyes open for the first lot......"

Concubine Hai deliberately paused for a moment, seducing the curiosity of everyone present, she looked at the pair of eager eyes in the audience with satisfaction, and then said with a smile, "The first lot is a vest woven by thousand-year-old silk, it is light and thin, almost weightless, and invulnerable, it is difficult for ordinary weapons to cut it apart, and it has a strong defensive ability." ”

Behind her, a waiter walked up with a red box in her hand, and Concubine Hai directly took out a light white translucent vest in the box and clearly displayed it to the audience.

She smiled brightly and continued to explain, "There are two more days to be the genius selection of the wind dragon, with this heavenly silk vest, you can perfectly protect your body, first, you can protect yourself, and second, this can be regarded as adding an advantage to yourself." ”

The selection of geniuses is actually not very fair, because in addition to their own strength, the two sides also need to look at their own equipment, weapons, armor, these are not restricted, as long as you have it, as long as you want to use it.

Approaching the selection of geniuses, in the past few days, most of the auction items in the auction hall have been auctioned around improving the individual strength of the martial artists, so it will not be surprising that the auction items will appear armor and weapons or the like in the future.

"The price of this silk vest starts at 100,000 silver taels, and the price increase is not less than 10,000 each time, and the auction is now open!" Concubine Hai said the last sentence with a smile, and the scene entered the main topic.

"I'll give 150,000 taels!"

"Two hundred thousand!"

"Two hundred and thirty thousand!"

“……”

If this price is placed outside, it is definitely sky-high, but the people who come to the auction house do not want to get their favorite income with a lot of money, there are many rich and powerful families in Dayan City, not to mention that this auction also brings together outstanding young talents from all over the country, and the forces behind most of them should not be underestimated, and hundreds of thousands of silver can still be taken out.

"Three hundred thousand!"

"Three hundred and one thousand!"

"I'll give 350,000!"

Tang Yan didn't have much interest in the first auction, she turned her head to look at Bai Egret and Bai Cheng, and their calm expressions didn't seem to surprise the price of more than 300,000 lots, or they didn't care much about this price at all.

More than 300,000 yuan is a lot of money even in the General's Mansion, Tang Yan is curious, what is the net worth of her cousin and cousin, who has been trained at a young age, does not take 300,000 yuan in his eyes.

"Three hundred and eighty thousand! I'll make this price! ”

The higher the price, the fewer people shouted the price, and in the end, this silk vest was auctioned at a high price of 380,000 yuan, and the treasure changed hands.

Concubine Hai stood on the stage with a professional smile, "Congratulations to this guest, let's take a look at what the second lot is today~~"

As the waiter in the rear brought the auction items, Concubine Hai revealed, "The second lot is a pill. ”

Beside her, the small red gift box in the waiter's hand was opened, and a jade box the size of a baby's fist appeared in everyone's sight, and the jade box contained pills, but it was not opened.

"There's a pill in there, and the effect of the pill is... Regulate the mind and nourish the qi, so that people can quickly improve their strength in a short period of time. ”

"It can't be!" Before the explanation on the stage was finished, Bai Cheng, who was beside Tang Yan in the audience, came to a decisive conclusion.

Bai Lu also nodded in agreement, "Cultivation is accumulated overnight, there is no shortcut, this thing will not exist at all, the auction house is cheating." ”

Tang Yan didn't speak, and listened to Concubine Taihai continue to explain, "The price of this pill starts at 30,000 taels, and the price increase must not be less than 10,000 taels each time. ”

A starting price lower than the first lot almost confirmed what Egret said. But soon, the situation on the scene made her guess wrong.

"I'll give 100,000 taels!"

"Two hundred thousand!"

"Two hundred and fifty thousand!"

Listening to the high prices shouted by the bidders one by one, the expressions on the faces of the egret and Bai Cheng finally became surprised.

"How is this possible?! How could anyone buy such a deceptive thing? ”

Tang Yan glanced at the egret lightly and shook her head gently, "Cousin, you don't want to think about it, will the auction house sell fake medicines?" That would be tantamount to self-destructing signboard. At first, no one believed in the efficacy of this medicine, but later, some people bought it, some people used it, and the price was not high anyway, and when the first batch of people tasted the sweetness, they would want to buy it again, so there is now their high-price rush scene. ”

"You mean that this medicine really has the effect of regulating the mind and nourishing qi and improving strength?" The Egret is not concerned with the price, but with the efficacy of the drug.

Tang Yan nodded seriously, "That's right." ”

Hearing such an affirmative answer, Bai Lu did not doubt the credibility of what her cousin said, she glanced at the jade box held in the hand of the waiter on the stage, thought about it, and shouted, "I will give 500,000!" ”
