Chapter 105: Underground Fair
"Ask again, I'll send you away now!" The cold words came from the front of her, and Hua Lian silently closed her mouth. All he had to do now was to give him some time after the underground fair was over, so that he could say goodbye to Qian Crimson and them.
Qian Scarlet Moon and Qian Mo slowly walked to the underground entrance under the guidance of the people in the auction hall. Along the way, they found that the road under their feet was arc-shaped, so they guessed that the sixteen underground trading rooms should also be arranged in an arc.
After walking a little longer, they followed into a room. The room is flanked by white walls and in the middle by two chairs.
Directly in front of the door, in front of the chairs, was a hollowed-out wall. It's like opening a long window in this wall, which is more than five feet long and more than a foot high. On the outside of the window was a table with a wooden plank about two feet wide on which a wooden pallet was placed.
"Two guests." The person who led them stood in front of the chair and pointed to the wooden platform about two feet wide and explained, "When the fair starts, you can put the items you want to sell on the pallet." The trays in each room will be displayed in turn, and if you have something you like, you can put your money or exchange items on the corresponding plate. ”
Qian Crimson Moon and Qian Mo nodded, this would avoid detecting each other's identities, it was purely a transaction.
However, the two guests need to keep in mind that all items will only be displayed twice, the first time for viewing and the second time for trading. And each item stays for only half a pillar of incense at a time, and when the time is up, it will be taken to the next room. If there is no deal, please make an accurate decision as soon as possible. ”
"What if there are several people at the same time?"
"Then it's up to the owner of the item to decide what to exchange for what to exchange."
The two nodded, roughly understanding the flow of this transaction.
"The two guests sit down for a while, and the little one goes to get some tea and fruit snacks." The person who guides leaves first, leaving time for two people.
"Hua Lian seems to know ...... master," Qian Scarlet asked Qianmo softly.
"Hmm!" Qian Mo nodded, he also noticed Hua Lian's abnormality, "Have you seen the clothes and patterns on Master's body?" ”
Qian Scarlet Moon shook her head, and the two of them did not continue the topic. Everyone has secrets, and the things that Master has taught them again and again are so extraordinary, and they also know that he is certainly not simple. Since he didn't say it, they didn't ask.
At this time, the servant brought exquisite snacks and tea, and the two of them ate slowly and waited for the trade fair to begin.
At this time, in the main hall of the largest Tong family house in the city, Tong Xin was kneeling on the ground and flattening his mouth, turning around unwillingly, and shouting to the Tong family members who were striding outside the house: "Dad-"
"If you dare to get up, I'll trade your golden toad!"
Just one sentence made Tong Xin shut up happily. As soon as he came back today, before he took out the golden toad to offer treasure, he was beaten by his father. Although the skin is open, he is used to it. Now he has to kneel for twelve hours, but as long as his father doesn't confiscate his golden toad.
When he thought about it, he was relieved of his regret that he couldn't go to the trade fair.
"Ah Xiang, help Ben Shao Xiaohong bring it." The childlike heart looked at the golden toad that was still asleep, and thought about how to raise it, even a fart. The pain in the thighs and knees is not taken care of.
"Big brother, the childlike heart is still young!" In the carriage, Tong Zhenqing persuaded his eldest brother, his voice was still cold, but it was much warmer than when he was in the Xu family, which made Xu Lu, who was sitting with him, quite unwilling.
But she didn't dare to show it, and apologized obediently first: "Uncle, it's all because I'm not good, it's because I don't take a good look at my brother." ”
"It's none of your business, it's that he's too angry, if Yao'er ......" A trace of loneliness flashed on Tong Yucang's face, and he shook his head and changed the topic, "Hehe, it's Lu'er, you can be so favored, Ah Qing, I'm afraid it's a woman who won't stay!" ”
Tong Yucang's joking words made Xu Lu's face crimson: "Uncle! ”
"Big brother," Tong Yuqing glared at Xu Lu helplessly, "It's just nonsense, how can you accept such a valuable gift!" If you turn back, you will go back! ”
"Mother......" Xu Lu raised her head in surprise, but at a pair of cold and frosty eyes, the crimson on her face retreated cleanly, she didn't dare to argue, but the unwillingness in her heart kept rising, and slowly turned into a seed of resentment buried in her heart.
Why, no matter what she does, her mother will not approve of her. Obviously, she said it, and she can think of everyone. And this time she didn't rush forward, why is she still dissatisfied.
Twelve years, she was taken to the capital by her mother since she was a child, and she was only accompanied by medical skills and medicinal materials every day, and she didn't even know what childhood and joy were. But she still wanted to try as hard as she could to get her approval, but why, she never seemed to see.
She slowly stopped praying for her mother's approval, she thought that her father, whom she rarely met, would give her a different kind of warmth. Unexpectedly, he was even more alienated from himself. It's just a routine way to ask yourself how well you're learning, otherwise it's imperative education.
Everyone thinks that the only eldest lady of the Xu family is beautiful, but they don't know that she is not even as good as an ordinary girl. It's okay to carry the mission and pressure of the family, but she has never enjoyed the actual glory that the family has brought her, except for the ethereal title of "Miss Xu Family".
Even that straw bale childlike heart is hundreds or thousands of times better than her. Although he was scolded by his uncle every day for being angry and useless, when he was in the free market, his uncle still gave him 10,000 taels and gave him a guard. Even if he lost face this time and spent a million taels to buy a strange and ugly toad, he was only beaten.
What about her? When she was in the free market, she only had a pitiful one hundred taels in her pocket, and she even had to order food at the price of a meal at the Donglai Inn. What I wanted so much this time was still not enough money to shoot.
Her hand couldn't help rubbing the box in her arms slightly, if it weren't for him, where would she be able to experience the sweet happiness that she had never experienced in her life.
One of her hands hidden by her sleeve couldn't help but clench her fists, this was her only remaining happy thought, she wouldn't give up, she must not give up!
"Mother!" Xu Lu raised her head with some grievance and concern, "Actually...... In fact, my daughter knows who gave this thing? ”
"Oh?" Tong Yucang showed a curious look on his face.
"No one can send it!" Tong Yu interrupted coldly, she had already thought of the answer from the shy look on her daughter's face when she came back.
"What if it's the prince!"
