377 Striving for merit
There are priorities, and Ye Haotian's eyes fall on the maid Fluttershy first.
"Master, Young Master Long asked the slave and maid to accompany him to drink, and if he didn't accompany him, he would break into the cultivation room, and the slave didn't dare to disobey, so he drank a few glasses with him, violating the rules of the temple, and asked the master to punish him. ”
In a word, Ye Haotian immediately understood, he looked at Long Eighteen coldly.
Long Eighteen smiled awkwardly and said, "It's not that one person is too bored to drink, I just want to find two people to accompany me, you are cold here, and this Fluttershy is stubborn to death, if you don't scare and scare her, can she drink?"
"Get up. ”
Ye Haotian was really helpless about Long Eighteen, and he asked Xiaocao again: "What about you, you were also forced to drink by him?"
Xiaocao glanced at Long Eighteen, didn't dare to make a sound, just nodded vigorously.
"Then what are you doing here?" Ye Haotian asked. Since the last time he saved Xiaocao, Ye Haotian has never seen her again.
"It was the master who asked the slave to invite Ye Gongzi to come over. Xiaocao said timidly.
Long Eighteen snorted coldly: "Long Laosan is such a big shelf, won't you invite someone to come by yourself?"
"The master wanted to come by himself, but he was afraid of attracting attention, so he sent a slave to invite Ye Gongzi. Xiaocao explained in a low voice.
Ye Haotian frowned and said, "Did he say that he was looking for me for something?"
"I mentioned it, and it was related to what Childe sent a few days ago. ”
"Oh?"
Ye Haotian suddenly understood, presumably the five first-grade Xuanbing had already had auction results.
"And what are you doing here?"
Ye Haotian asked Long Eighteen at this time.
"Big brother came to you, the same reason Xiaocao came to you!" Long Eighteen patted Ye Haotian on the shoulder, and suddenly said with a flattering smile: "Ye Haotian, you are really good, there is a ...... behind you The teacher of that thing didn't tell my eldest brother a word, and I was scolded by the sixth uncle. ”
Ye Haotian looked at Long Eighteen suspiciously, in the previous contact, he had already seen that Long Chaoge doted on this thirteen young men of the Long family, and came to him for a scolding, which seemed a little unreasonable.
Pulling Ye Haotian to the side, Long Eighteen lowered his voice and said, "Brother, big brother begs you for one thing now, you have to promise me no matter what." ”
"What's the matter? I remember that you still owe me two 'permissions', and you haven't paid off your previous debts, and you borrowed money again?" Ye Haotian teased.
Long Eighteen's face immediately turned red, but fortunately, Ye Haotian didn't continue to sneer at him, "Say, what's the matter?"
"Didn't you ask Long Laosan to send five first-grade Xuanbing to Uncle Sixth a few days ago. ”
"yes, what's wrong?"
Long Eighteen is also a member of the Long family, so it is not surprising to know about this matter.
"What's wrong?" Long Eighteen forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said with an excited face: "You may not know yet, those five pieces of Xuan Bing let the sixth uncle auction for a big price! Money is secondary, the important thing is to make the auction house's business turn around, not only bringing back the previous guests, but also attracting hundreds of new dignitaries! You didn't go to the auction that day, the whole hall was crowded!"
"Really?"
Seeing Long Eighteen dancing with his hands, Ye Haotian was a little surprised, "Just a first-grade Xuanbing can cause such a big sensation? Then why are you looking for me? Do you want me to get you a handful?"
"No, no, no!"
Long Eighteen waved his hand again and again: "I'm looking for you, I just want you to promise me a small request, that is, there will be such a good thing in the future, can you not give Long Laosan the opportunity to show his face? ”
"Does this have anything to do with showing your face?" Ye Haotian said puzzled.
"Why doesn't it matter!" Long Eighteen said hatefully: "Obviously, we met first, right? As a result, the sixth uncle attributed all the credit for making the Xuan Bing to Long Laosan, you tell me, what does this have to do with him? Anyway, I don't care, you have to promise me about this matter, and then make Xuan Bing in the future and let Xiao Fluttershy send it to me, and I will personally give it to the sixth uncle, and I have to let him understand that it was I Long Eighteen who made the status of the Long Family Auction House in Anyang City rise to a new level!"
After hearing this, Ye Haotian was silent, after being a Xuan soldier a few days ago, he wanted Xiao Fluttershy to give it to Long Eighteen, but this guy was not in the temple all day long, if it was sent to the rich manor where he lived, it would be better to send it directly to the auction house, and then he remembered Long Zaitian.
I didn't expect it to be just a trivial matter of running errands and delivering letters, and it caused such a big storm.
"That's fine. ”
Ye Haotian nodded and said, "Originally, I just wanted to give it to you, but who let you stay in the temple for a long time? ”
"I'll be at the temple every day from now on!"
Long Eighteen hurriedly reassured, seeing Ye Haotian's suspicious eyes, he quickly changed his words: "Even if I am not there, I will send people to wait at the residence of the temple for twelve hours and nights, this is all right?"
"Okay, then what are you calling me to do at the auction house?" Ye Haotian said again.
"Money, of course it's money, those five Xuanbing sold for three million gold coins, don't you plan to ask for it?"
The Dragon Eighteen Thieves patted Ye Haotian on the shoulder, and the excitement was happier than the money he had made.
"Three million?"
This time, Ye Hao was innocently frightened, the five Xuangang swords were bought by him for one thousand gold coins, and he didn't expect to sell them for a big price of six hundred thousand handfuls.
In Ye Haotian's imagination, being able to auction a handful of 50,000 gold coins would be considered a huge profit, but it was actually more than ten times higher than the expected price!
"Yes, I didn't expect it, right? It's not just that, those powerful people who didn't bid have already made reservations at the sixth uncle, and I heard that there are more than 30 orders just confirmed, Ye Haotian, don't blame the big brother I said you, you are guarding such a big treasure, why are you still pretending to be poor in front of me? At the auction that day, I was so faceless. ”
Ye Haotian smiled helplessly, but he was ecstatic in his heart, it seemed that his idea of inspiration was in line with the appetite of the powerful people in Anyang.
After figuring out Long Eighteen's purpose for finding himself, Ye Haotian did not rush to the auction house with him to get the money, but first followed Xiaocao to Long Zaitian's residence.
"You're looking for me?"
In an elegant courtyard, Ye Haotian saw the third son of the Long family, dressed in white and holding a folding fan.
"Ye Gongzi, quick, please take a seat. ”
There was a small pavilion made of white jade in the courtyard, and tea and pastries were placed on the stone table in the pavilion, and Ye Haotian sat down opposite Long Zaitian.
After a brief greeting, the conversation between the two quickly led to the point.
"The Xuangang swords sent by Ye Gongzi a few days ago were all sold at the auction, each priced at 600,000 gold coins, and Gongzi could go to the auction house at any time to collect them. ”
"I've heard about this matter just now, are you looking for me because of the money?"
Ye Haotian simply told Long Eighteen about how he found himself.
