Chapter 155: Auction
"Three hundred and eighty taels of gold." The man followed closely behind, biting hard, and the price was immediately raised.
"Four hundred taels of gold!" The woman's voice was a little eager, as if it was bound to win this 10,000-year-old snow and frost. They didn't even realize what kind of shock her bid had caused in the audience.
Paying such a price for such a medicinal herb made everyone think that she must be crazy, but they were also happy to see such a lively scene.
Su Xiaran and the others thought that this man would not increase the price again, because adding more would already exceed the substantial value of the 10,000-year-old snow and frost. But what everyone didn't expect happened again.
The man said calmly, "I will give four hundred and ten taels of gold." The man didn't say anything more, just a little more than the woman.
It's like going against her, biting on. The woman was furious and said, "You! You give me this 10,000-year-old snow and frost, and I can satisfy whatever I want! ”
The woman had no choice but to open her mouth to discuss with the man, but who knew that the man said: "On the auction floor, the highest bidder has always won, this is the rule, if you don't have enough funds, don't compete."
The man's words were ruthless, so that the woman couldn't answer for a while, so she had to ask Xia Qingyi to suspend raising funds for a period of time, and the auction could be suspended halfway.
Giving guests enough time is also for the best benefit.
The woman in the third room is none other than Cheng Moya, the third princess who has a relationship with Su Xiaran in Fenglin Kingdom.
The auction was temporarily stopped at Cheng Moya's request. And the guests of Building One were also sitting in his private seats at this time, and they did not move. On the contrary, Cheng Moya in room 3 was anxious at this time.
said that it was temporarily stopped, but in fact, it still needed a greater price in exchange, Cheng Moya didn't understand why the man in room No. 1 had to bite himself like this. There is no sign of slackness.
It stands to reason that the third princess, as the princess of the royal family, must have no problems with her financial resources, plus her brother Cheng Mohan, the crown prince, holds the economic lifeline of the Southern Qiu Kingdom. It is impossible for this Southern Qiu Kingdom to have someone richer than Cheng Moya.
But such a situation can only stay in the past. In the past, Cheng Moya never worried about money, and it can even be said that she had no concept of money. has always lived in the relatively simple environment of the palace.
After all, her mother is the former queen of Nanqiu Kingdom, and her brother is the crown prince of Nanqiu Kingdom, but such a good life is just stuck in the past. The former queen, that is, their biological mother, thought that after the sudden death, Princess Meng rejected them in various ways.
Rectifying the forces left by the former queen, coupled with the fact that Concubine Meng has now given birth to her own prince, naturally squeezes out Cheng Mohan and Cheng Moya everywhere and paves the way for her children.
The status of the two of them in the Southern Autumn Kingdom has also been shaken, if one day the emperor is really bewitched by Emperor Meng, maybe he will abolish Cheng Mohan's position as the crown prince.
In addition, now that Cheng Mohan doesn't know what's wrong, he is suffering from a strange illness and is bedridden, Cheng Moya has tried her best to hide this matter. I just don't want this matter to reach the emperor's ears. I tried my best to help my brother heal.
I've heard about the 10,000-year-old snow hydrant for a long time, so I want to try my luck. After Cheng Mohan was bedridden, Cheng Moya had to grow up in an instant, facing everything by herself, on the one hand, she had to be careful of Huang Concubine Meng stabbing her in the back, and on the other hand, she had to try to cure Cheng Mohan.
Who knew that the news of Cheng Mohan's serious illness still reached the ears of Concubine Meng, but she did not tell the emperor about it, and now the entire Nanqiu Kingdom is full of her eyes and ears. It can be said that it is easy to find out about Cheng Moya.
Until she came to the auction of this Qiuyi Building today to auction the 10,000-year-old snow bolt, Imperial Concubine Meng naturally would not let her succeed, and sent her henchman, that is, the man in room No. 1, to come over to make a stumbling block for Cheng Moya.
Just don't let her succeed, the force behind the man in room No. 1 is actually Concubine Meng, and Cheng Moya is just a princess, how can her financial resources be comparable to that of Princess Meng.
This is simply a fantasy, Cheng Moya, who is in room three, doesn't know how anxious she is now, and has been walking around the room. He said to his maid, "Little slave, you should hurry back to the palace now and exchange all my jewelry for gold."
As if remembering something again, he added, "By the way, sell the jade bracelet that my mother gave me as well."
When the little slave heard Cheng Moya say this, he was shocked and said: "Princess, how can this be, that Biluo Jade is the only thing that Niangniang left you, how can you sell it, besides, the person in room No. 1 obviously wants to go against the princess, don't you suspect who the person behind him is?"
The little slave has seen all the methods of Concubine Meng by Cheng Moya's side, and naturally she is very clear about the situation of her princess, and she also knows the personality of Concubine Meng. If she knew, Cheng Mohan was bedridden now, and naturally it would be impossible for Cheng Moya to get the medicine.
It's already a very benevolent thing not to fall into the ground. After such a reminder from the little slave, Cheng Moya said in disbelief: "You mean, the person behind Room No. 1 is Emperor Meng?" But I didn't divulge half a sentence about my brother's illness, how could she know about it, and sent someone to fight against me? ”
"My good princess, you are so simple, how could Imperial Concubine Meng not put eyeliner next to you and the crown prince." The little slave is now also worried about the simplicity of his princess.
In the past, she lived a carefree life like her by Cheng Moya's side, and Cheng Moya treated her as a sister. Now that Cheng Moya is in trouble, she naturally won't leave her. The relationship between them has long exceeded that of ordinary master and servant.
The little slave's words are not unreasonable, if the person in Room No. 1 is really sent by Emperor Meng, even if Cheng Moya really sells the Biluo Jade left by the former queen, it will be useless.
But is it possible to give up the 10,000-year-old snow plug just like this? Cheng Mohan has not appeared for a long time, and if he does not appear again, it will definitely arouse the emperor's suspicion. If you know that he is sick, you will definitely take the opportunity to destroy his power.
Now that Cheng Mohan has fallen, Cheng Moya has to replace him and protect everything about him. Both were silent in the room.
Xia Qingyi was strange in the background Su Xiaran said: "It's really strange, miss, since the guests of room No. 3 have applied to temporarily suspend the auction, why haven't they done anything until now?"
Su Xiaran was thinking about who the voice was just now, and responded to Xia Qingyi and said, "Wait and see, the auction will continue when the time comes."
The little slave was also burning his eyebrows now, and suddenly remembered something, and said: "Princess, there is another way, this 10,000-year-old snow bolt is the auction boss's thing, whoever he wants to give it, no one can stop it, you can go and ask the auction boss to let him open the net."
Xiao Nu's words made Cheng Moya wake up like a dream, and said happily: "Xiao Nu, you are so smart, I can go directly to the owner of the auction, so there is no need to be here with him all the time." You go and arrange it for me right away. ”
"Yes!" The little slave replied with a smile, and left room No. 3 and came in the direction of Xia Qingyi. Seeing her come out, Su Xiaran left one step ahead.
After the little slave found Xia Qingyi, he told her about the situation, and the meaning was very clear, they wanted to see the owner of the auction building. And at the same time, he also identified himself.
Xia Qingyi remembered that when she was in Feng Linguo, this Cheng Moya gave Su Xiaran a very good feeling, and the two were also very fateful, Su Xiaran also said that Cheng Moya was a very kind person, so she thought about telling Su Xiaran about it and letting her decide whether to meet or not.
After letting the little slave wait for a while, Xia Qingyi went to the third floor to find Su Xiaran and explained the situation to her.
Su Xiaran heard Xia Qingyi say this, and then remembered why the voice of the girl in Building No. 3 was so familiar, it turned out that she was the third princess Cheng Moya.
But why did you come here today and have to get the 10,000-year-old snow bolt, Su Xiaran's first thought was that Cheng Mohan had an accident. I thought it would be better to see her and understand the situation.
Su Xiaran had said that she would only help them once when she was in the plum blossom forest of Fenglin Kingdom, and then she didn't owe each other, but thinking that Cheng Moya had always been very friendly to her, and now it seems that she is in trouble, and Su Xiaran can't sit idly by.
After getting Su Xiaran's answer, Xia Qingyi told the little slave the news, saying that he would arrange for them to meet as soon as possible.
Su Xiaran considered that it was inconvenient for Cheng Moya to leave the room, so she thought about going to see her by herself. Anyway, she never cared about these fictitious things.
When the little slave told Cheng Moya the news, she couldn't believe it, she thought that she would waste a while, but she didn't expect the owner of the auction building to talk so easily.
This is also thanks to Cheng Moya's attitude towards Su Xiaran in Fenglinguo. Some things are mutual, if it weren't for Cheng Moya's friendliness, Su Xiaran would not have lent a helping hand at this time.
Knowing that the owner of the auction building would come to her room in person, Cheng Moya nervously sorted out her clothes and asked the little slave, "How is it?" Are you okay? ”
The little slave couldn't help but laugh and said: "Princess, you are not going to see your sweetheart, why do you care so much about this, you are such a kind person can definitely get the favor of God, don't worry so much." Although the little slave said this, he felt sorry for Cheng Moya in his heart.
Speaking of this, Cheng Moya couldn't help but think of the wind that I don't know where I am now, and the picture of him saving her. Since returning to Nanqiu Country, she has been thinking about him almost every day. The so-called sweetheart, I'm afraid that's the kind of person.
Cheng Moya's heart was more or less sentimental.
Because she didn't know when she would see Blast again, the man she thought about day and night.
After a while, Su Xiaran came to the third room under the leadership of Xia Qingyi. As soon as I came in, I saw Cheng Moya, who had not been seen for a long time.
Su Xiaran didn't know if she recognized herself, after all, so much time had passed, and most of Cheng Moya's appearance when she saw herself was a man's appearance. And Su Xiaran's real face, she hasn't seen it much.
It's no wonder that Su Xiaran thinks so, this Cheng Moya really didn't recognize her. I just felt that she was just the boss of this autumn building, and she didn't think about anything else.
said: "You are the boss of Qiuyi Building?" Su Xiaran nodded and admitted, "I am."
Cheng Moya said a little unspeakable: "That's the case, I want to get the 10,000-year snow bolt, I might as well tell you, my brother is the prince of the current Nanqiu Kingdom, I want to save him, I hope you can open the net, I am willing to exchange 4,000 gold for the 10,000-year snow bolt."
Without Cheng Moya to say, Su Xiaran could guess her purpose, but Qiuyilou has the rules of Qiuyilou, and she can't break the rules set by Qiuyilou for the sake of a single person.
