The auction was held in the Mingfeng Pavilion in Liyuan, the Mingfeng Pavilion was divided into two floors, with a typical theater-style decoration, the hall on the first floor and the private room on the second floor were already full, and the auction had already been carried out when Su Miao entered. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Except for some details that are slightly old, the auction held in the Mingfeng Pavilion is basically the same as an ordinary auction, the atmosphere on the scene is very high, there are many bidders, and the bidding is ruthless enough. There are indeed a lot of good things in today's auction, the organizer and the donors have made a lot of money, Su Miao followed Master Jingming up the stairs from the back to the second floor, and roughly swept downstairs along the railing, the silk and satin gold and silver below almost made her eyes shine, there are really a lot of rich people in Liangdu!

"These are all officials?" Su Miao asked Master Jingming in a low voice.

"Some are, and some are businessmen in Liangdu." Seeing that she was interested downstairs, Master Jingming stopped and explained to her.

"The merchants of Liangdu are so rich!" Su Miao looked at the spectacular picture of rich people gathering downstairs and said in amazement.

"Merchants, no matter what the circumstances, they can make money the fastest, as long as the court does not suppress it, the richest are these merchants." A trace of contempt flashed in Master Jingming's eyes, and he said lightly.

Su Miao glanced at Master Jingming: "With a tone of contempt, Master, do you want Yue Liang Guozhong to be heavy and restrain Shang Jia?" ”

"The old man always thinks that Yueliang should pay more attention to agricultural products, but the emperor means that as long as it does not violate the law, it is also a good thing that Yueliang has more merchants to promote the development of trade." Master Jingming's face clearly said, "This is completely contrary to my philosophy", but he said, "Of course, the emperor has the emperor's considerations, and it is also because of the gradual activity of merchants over the years that Yue Liang Kingdom has slowly become active, and it is no longer as dark as it was in the period of the previous emperor. ”

Su Miao stared at him for a while and asked, "Master, you haven't tested your fame, have you?" ”

"The old man is just a cloth coat."

"What is your relationship with the emperor?" Su Miao couldn't help but ask.

"The relationship between the king and the people." Master Jingming replied very smoothly.

"More than that, if you are just a simple emperor and the people, the court will let you tell stories everywhere and deceive people for many years?"

A flash of color on Master Jingming's face flashed, and he smiled and said:

"Demagogy? The girl is a misnomer, the old man just likes to preach the justice in the old man's mind everywhere, and it happens that many people love to hear it. ”

Su Miao glanced at him, didn't believe it, but didn't ask any more questions, looked around on the first and second floors, and said suspiciously:

"Hasn't the emperor come yet?"

"Your Majesty?"

"Didn't you say the emperor would come?" Su Miao felt that something was wrong, narrowed her eyes, and looked at him suspiciously.

Master Jingming was stunned, and then shook his head violently:

"The old man didn't say it."

"You said it!"

"I didn't say it!"

"You said it!"

"I didn't say it!" Master Jingming flatly denied it.

"......" Su Miao looked at him with disdain.

Master Jingming was helpless, and while beckoning her to go forward with him, he whispered to her:

"The emperor was originally going to come, but last night the envoy of the Kosi Kingdom came with a credential, and the emperor was probably busy receiving the envoys of the Kosi State at this time."

"Corsi?" Su Miao was stunned, she always heard about this country, but she didn't know about it, she just knew that this country was on the other side of the sea.

"You are a girl's family and a foreigner, I don't know and usual, Corsi is on the other side of the sea, a country full of white-skinned monkeys."

"White-skinned monkeys?" Su Miao was stunned and speechless.

"The Corsins look completely different from us, their skin is white and thin, full of golden hair, their hair is red and golden, they are very eloquent, and the women there are surprisingly tall, taller than you. The Corsi are very bad, their pirates have been robbing our ships at sea all the year round, and many times they have almost robbed us on land, what kind of pirates are they, clearly their navy is pretending, shameless! ”

Through Master Jingming's description, Su Miao felt that the Corsi people should be foreign Caucasians, although she didn't know how the continental plates of Yueliang and Corsi were distributed, but the Corsi country on the other side of the sea was actually a Caucasian country, which sounded very fresh to Su Miao, she had been in Liangdu for a long time, and she would go out for a stroll, but she had never seen a Caucasian person, it turned out that at this time, Yueliang Country had already established a relationship with other races, no wonder she felt that Yueliang Country had many fashionable things.

"What are the envoys of Corsi doing here?" Su Miao asked.

"I guess I'm asking for something under the guise of being friendly again, it's going to be winter soon." Master Jingming said.

"Something?" Su Miao frowned.

"Although it can barely cope with it, but the navy of Yueliang Kingdom is still a gap compared to Kexi Kingdom, if it is not for the emperor who has made a bloody fight with Kexi Kingdom after ascending the throne, it is very likely that Kexi Kingdom has already entered the country, and that time will hurt his vitality, so Yueliang Kingdom will not be able to lead the war unless it is absolutely necessary. In recent years, the Kosi Kingdom has become more and more shameless, and they are testing the bottom line of Yue Liang Kingdom with greed. Master Jingming said with a serious face and paused, "But this is not bad, during the period of the first emperor, Yue Liang Guo has always paid tribute to Kexi Kingdom, and now Yue Liang Kingdom no longer has the cheekiness to cross the sea to send things to Kexi Kingdom every year." I'm telling you a girl's family what are you talking about, in short, the consistent problem of the Corsi Kingdom is that the envoy arrives soon when the fleet arrives behind, and the current situation of Liangdu must not be seen by the Corsi Kingdom, that is to say, the people of the Corsi Kingdom must not be allowed to know that Yue Liang is in poverty and disaster, does the girl understand this? ”

"Hmm...... Although I can understand ......"

"It's good to understand." Master Jingming looked relieved.

"If the emperor doesn't come, can it continue here?" Su Miao asked.

"The emperor will not show up when he comes, the emperor knows about this gambling game, but it is a restaurant party, and those people below also think that this is a gathering held by the restaurant for disaster relief, if the emperor is also there, who will come?" Although Master Jingming didn't show it obviously, Su Miao always felt that the tone in which he answered her was asking her, "Are you stupid?"

Su Miao's face strained.

Following him, the two of them came to the innermost private room on the second floor one after the other, and Su Miao saw Xia Lang waiting at the door of the private room.

Su Miao glanced at Xia Lang, and when she followed Master Jingming into the private room, she heard Master Jingming muttering in a low voice:

"That kid from the Xia family doesn't look like a housekeeper no matter how you look at it!"

Su Miao also thinks so.

In the private room, Ruan Shuang and Xia Jinxuan sat quietly on each side, Ruan Shuang's posture was obviously a little stiff, compared to her, Xia Jinxuan was much more natural, sitting in front of the indoor stands, watching the auction downstairs with a smile, sipping fragrant tea leisurely, this girl's every move revealed that she was old enough not to belong to her age, independent and self-reliant, clear ideas, smart and mature, Su Miao actually didn't hate such a girl.

"Sister Su." Xia Jinxuan heard the knock on the door, turned around, stood up calmly, and said hello to Su Miao, as if the confrontation between the two had never happened that day.

"Miss Xia." Su Miao nodded politely.

Ruan Shuang seemed to have reacted at this time, hurriedly stood up, and stumbled and called: "Sister Miao! Her voice was a little out of tune, tense with nervousness, and her face flushed with embarrassment as she drew the astonished glances of the other two.

"Your voice is a little hoarse, do you catch a cold?" Su Miao retracted her surprised eyes and asked with a smile.

"It's a little." Ruan Shuang smiled embarrassedly.

Master Jingming swept around the three of them and said with a smile:

"You can watch the excitement for a while, and when the stage over there is also finished, I will have someone call you."

Xia Jinxuan was the first to respond obediently, and Master Jingming didn't wait for them to say anything else, turned around, and walked away at an extremely fast pace, as if there were three tigers chasing him behind him.

There were only three people left in the private room, Su Miao, Ruan Shuang, and Xia Jinxuan, Xia Jinxuan smiled, politely conceded, and the three of them sat down again and sat in front of the stands. Xia Jinxuan lifted the teapot on the table and poured half a cup of tea for Su Miao. Su Miao thanked her, Xia Jinxuan smiled slightly, and said:

"I'm going to ask Sister Su to take care of me today."

Su Miao smiled politely, did not answer, and set her eyes on the auction table downstairs, concentrating on watching the auction.

Xia Jinxuan didn't have the heart to watch the auction at this time, she glanced at Su Miao and asked with a smile:

"Sister Su, have you ever been to a place outside the city to shelter disaster victims?"

"Been there once."

"It's okay now, it's just cold, and in a few days, once the winter comes, the victims will still not be able to be properly resettled, and more and more people will freeze to death." Xia Jinxuan said with a smile.

"yes." This is indeed a real and cruel problem, more and more people are fleeing the disaster, all crowded under the city of Liangdu, food, houses, disease prevention all need silver, this is not a small amount, in addition to the construction of the Lunan Dam and the reconstruction of Lunan Province, this money does not know where to come from, what's worse, no matter which one can not be delayed for too long, because it is human life that is delayed.

"I'm a little curious about today's race." Xia Jinxuan looked at her and said with a smile.

"Curious about what?" Su Miao asked.

"Sister Su is always focused and strict in the competition, so I'm curious about today's exhibition match, Sister Su, are you loyal to your ideals and become an executioner who indirectly kills the victims, or do you give up your ideals and become a liar in order to save those victims?" Xia Jinxuan giggled and said to her.

When Ruan Shuang heard this, he frowned, and said a little angrily: "Miss Xia, the competition is aimed at Sai not people, don't talk too much!" ”

"Miss Ruan, you seem to admire Sister Su very much, and you also want to know Sister Su's final choice quickly, right?" Xia Jinxuan glanced at Ruan Shuang with bent eyebrows, and then looked at Su Miao with a smile.

Su Miao stared at her face for a while, the corners of her lips curled, and she smiled.

Xia Jinxuan waited for a while, but didn't see her answer, and continued to ask with a smile:

"Sister Fei hasn't figured out what to do yet?"

"What will I do, you don't know when you play, so why bother to ask for a result in such a hurry? Does playing against me make you so nervous that you can't stop asking? Su Miao asked with a smile.

The smile on the corner of Xia Jinxuan's lips faded.

Ruan Shuang covered his mouth and smiled sullenly.

Su Miao set her eyes on the auction table downstairs and watched with interest. (To be continued.) )
