Before leaving, Mo'er sat on the edge of the bed and chatted with Qu Tianlin as usual. "Husband, my eldest brother and I will go to the underground auction in a while. Xuan Lin and Uncle Mu are both at home to accompany you, you have to wait for me to come back! At this time, Qu Tianlin was like a sleeping child, lying on the bed, his handsome face was not as ruddy as usual, and it was unusually pale.
Mo'er used her spring onion fingertips to slowly trace along her husband's eyebrows and outlines, and the temperature under her fingertips was so cold. "I'll let you sleep willfully in the past few days, and after my eldest brother and I bring back Phoenix Tears to help you prepare the antidote, you can't be so leisurely......" Mo'er said as she spoke, her voice suddenly choked, and she couldn't go on.
"Knock knock knock......" There were suddenly a few knocks outside the door, and then Long Lin's voice: "Mo'er, it's time for us to go out." ā
"Okay, big brother." Mo'er responded to Long Lin outside the door, and then said to Qu Tianlin on the bed: "Husband, the eldest brother called me out, and I will accompany you when I come back later." After the words fell, Mo'er leaned down and pecked Qu Tianlin's pale and bloodless lips.
Then she wiped the wetness from the corners of her eyes, sorting out her emotions by the way. "Big brother, let's go." Mo'er opened the door and said to Long Lin, who was waiting for her outside the door.
Long Lin saw that her eyes were red, and he knew that she must have cried in the room just now, and he didn't break it, but nodded lightly.
"Uncle Mu, Xuanlin, the third brother will ask you." Long Lin said cautiously to the two of them.
"Big brother, you and the third sister-in-law can rest assured, we will take care of the third brother." Xuan Lin said.
Uncle Mu: "Madam, Master Long, Phoenix Tears will be entrusted to you." ā

Because it is a triennial prosperous era, Jinyu Trading House attaches great importance to underground auctions.
On this day, the Tiandu branch of the Jinyu Trading Bank was closed for one day, and nine elders from other branches of the Great Xia Kingdom were transferred to come over and preside over with the six elders of Jinliu.
At the entrance of the Jinyu Trading House, Elder Jin Liu and another elder brought a few younger generations of family juniors to receive the VIPs who came to participate in the auction. When the carriage with the lantern of the Qu clan printed with the business emblem stopped at the door of the Jinyu Trading House, the six elders specially walked over to greet him. When he saw that there were only two people coming down from the carriage, Long Lin and Mo'er, he was sure in his heart that Qu Tianlin was seriously injured when he was attacked at the street entrance that day. Presumably the rumors he heard were also true, the city lord of Linlang was now seriously injured in bed, and his life was likely to be in danger.
Thinking in his heart, Elder Jin Liu deliberately went to pay attention to Mo'er, and when he saw that her eyes were red as if she had cried, he not only sighed in his heart.
"Master Long, Mrs. Qu, welcome the two of you." Elder Jin Liu greeted the two of them warmly, paused, and asked Long Lin in a concerned voice: "I heard that the city lord of Qu was injured, I don't know how his current situation is?" ā
"Thank you Sixth Elder Jin for your concern." A smile hung on the corner of Long Lin's mouth, "City Lord, he is fine, it's just that he needs to recuperate after blood loss." ā
It is impossible for Long Lin to tell the truth. If Qu Tianlin is unconscious, and even the danger of his life spreads, this will definitely be a big blow to the Qu Firm.
Elder Jin Liu secretly observed Long Lin's expression in his heart, trying to find some clues from his face, and seeing Long Lin's smile, he was a little unsure whether Long Lin's words were true or false.
"City Lord Qu is fine." Elder Jin Liu pretended to breathe a sigh of relief, and said tentatively with some reluctance: "If you are free another day, the old man will definitely visit the Qu City Lord in person in the Qu Clan's Courtyard." ā
Long Lin didn't see what he had in mind, and smiled slightly: "Elder Jin Liu has a heart, and when the time comes, Long Lin will definitely entertain Elder Jin Liu on behalf of the city lord." ā
After the hustle and bustle with some purpose, Elder Jin Liu said a few more words of concern to Mo'er before asking a young junior of the family to lead them to the auction venue.
The so-called underground auction, naturally under the Tiandu branch, to enter the staircase connected to the underground auction hall, at the end of the stairs Mo'er saw two tall girls distributing masks to the VIPs who entered, this matter Mo'er heard Long Lin on the way to come. This underground auction is full of precious things, and it is easy to offend people in the process of bidding, so the gold and jade merchants let everyone wear masks to prevent guests from settling on the festival when bidding for goods. It is also easy to tell the identity of the guests after wearing the mask. After each guest receives the mask, they are also given a sign with a number written on it, and the number on this sign is the temporary name of the guests at the auction.
The number on the Mo'er brand is ten, and Longlin is twelve.
The numbers on this sign were not set in the order in which the guests came first, but were arranged in advance by the Jinyu Trading House according to the identities of the guests who came. Of course, the seats in the venue are also based on the number on the guest's hand. By the time they entered the dimly lit venue, the room, which was said to hold a capacity of one hundred and eight people, was almost full.
Mo'er: Their location is easy to find, just a little to the left of the first row. After the two sat down, a young and beautiful maid brought them two cups of tea. Mo'er and Long Lin took the tea, but they didn't drink it and put it on the table next to them. Before waiting for the auction to start, Long Lin and Mo'er chatted casually, and Long Lin told her a lot of rules and things to pay attention to in this auction.
First, the auction price cannot be inflated.
Second, as long as you take a picture of the product, you can inspect the goods on the spot and pay the money.
Third, no credit.
Fourth, if the product is successfully auctioned, it will be disqualified to bid again.
These conditions, the first three, Mo'er didn't feel much. But this fourth article did make her a little confused.
"Why is it that after successfully auctioning a product, I am not eligible to bid again?" Mo'er was very puzzled and asked Long Lin.
Long Lin was about to answer her, but was preempted by another voice: "In this triennial underground auction, the auctions are all treasures collected by the Jinyu Trading House, and every guest present has come from thousands of miles to participate in order to get these treasures. If someone has taken a fancy to every treasure and bought it at a high price, then what is the point of others participating! ā
It was a woman who spoke, dressed in a rich purple dress, and her companion was also richly dressed, but it was a young man.
Although the masks obscured the faces of the two of them, Mo'er recognized them as Qiyun and Rong Xuan from the voice of the purple-clothed girl and the fragrance emanating from her body.
"I didn't expect you to come to the auction below?!" Mo'er said unexpectedly. (To be continued.) )
