Eight thousand taels of gold, the painting is really worth the price.

However, the starting price is 2,000 taels of gold, which is a difference of two times!

People's hearts are greedy for small and cheap, and they can only see the low price in front of them, but they never thought that once the bidding begins, those high-rollers who have just flocked around the "Qin Tu" will inevitably spend a lot of money on it. Even the nouveau riche who don't know how to inlay gold and jade, in order to reflect their cultivation and heritage, they have to raise the price.

Therefore, after King Ning showed hesitation on his face, Lin Ruo did not persuade again.

However, Lin Qi couldn't help it, and mocked in a low voice: "Eight thousand taels are not reluctant, these days, the prince is also stingy!" ”

Although the voice was soft, Lin Ruo and King Ning both heard it in their ears.

Lin Ruo glared at Lin Qi with disgust, but there was really no deterrent.

King Ning has always been an informal person, he smiled loudly, leaned close to Lin Qi's ear, and whispered: "No way, the family's money is in the hands of the princess, and the prince is also poor!" ”

Lin Qi raised his eyebrows, glanced at Lin Ruo, and had a slight understanding - the Lin family's money was basically in Lin Ruo's hands. Before Lin Ruo got married, his pocket money was also approved by Lin Ruo. It's just that Lin Ruo doesn't restrain him much.

This Prince Ning, probably because the princess of the family is strict in managing money!

Lin Qi cast a sympathetic look at King Ning and mourned his tragic experience, but that was all.

Li Xien tilted his head and thought about it, pulled Lin Qi's sleeve, and asked, "Little uncle, is eight thousand taels a lot?" ”

"Well, it's quite a lot. But for us, it's not a lot. ”

Li Xien thought about it again, and then asked again: "Then why don't we buy it?" ”

Lin Qi tugged at the corners of his mouth, and then patiently explained: "Because these things are originally ours!" ”

"Then why sell it? Short of money? ”

With Lin Qi talking and playing with him every day, Li Xien's personality is also a little more cheerful, and his speech is much more neat. But because of his clever speech, his head always seems to be filled with a book of "100,000 Whys", and from time to time he pulls a question and breaks the casserole to ask the end.

"Uh......"

Lin Qi's face was embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer Li Xien's question. The big black eyes were still looking at him expectantly, waiting for him to give an answer. Lin Qi had no choice but to look at Lin Ruo for help.

So, Li Xien also turned his head and looked at Lin Ruo curiously, looking forward to Lin Ruo's answer.

Lin Ruo smiled lightly and said seductively: "Do you remember that your little uncle gave you a lot of things?" ”

Li Xien nodded obediently: "Well, remember." ”

"Do you like those things?"

"I like it."

"Uncle Xiao and Xi En are family, so what Xi En likes, Uncle Xiao will give to you. For these people, they also like our family's things, but your little uncle is not their little uncle, and I am not their aunt, so if they want our family's things, they have to spend money. Got it? ”

Li Xien tilted his head and thought about it, then nodded: "Just like Xi'en likes to eat sugar gourds, it's not the little uncle who sells sugar gourds, so the little uncle has to spend money to buy them for Xi'en." ”

Lin Ruo's eyes crooked with a smile and touched Li Xien's head: "Yes, that's it." Xi'en is so smart! ”

Li Xien, who had been complimented, grinned, stretched out his hand, and took another piece of soft cake from the plate, and was about to put it in his mouth, but he turned around halfway and handed it to Lin Qi: "Little uncle, give it to you!" ”

Lin Qi was a little flattered by his eldest nephew's sudden move to share food.

It's not that Li Xien is stingy, but in his consciousness, there is no concept of "belonging". He seems to be a porter of objects, and if he likes something, he will take it directly, without asking whose it is; Whatever others wanted, he gave it directly, as if he had passed on something out.

This is the first time that Li Xien has vaguely realized that the dim sum of these delicious dim sum belongs to him. And he has to share it with his little uncle who has been taking care of him.

This progress is really gratifying!

And when the joy on Lin Ruo's face never retreated, Li Xien also handed her a soft cake: "Auntie, eat cakes!" ”

"Thank you!"

Li Xien, who found that her aunt and uncle were very happy to get the soft cake, made persistent efforts and handed a piece to King Ning. However, he didn't know what to call King Ning, so he only said "eat".

"Hey, do I have that too?"

King Ning was a little surprised, and as a result, he expressed his friendliness, and also wanted to follow Lin Ruo's example and touch Li Xien's head, but Li Xien dodged away again without giving face......

Looking at King Ning's frozen hands in mid-air, Lin Qi laughed unceremoniously, Lin Ruo smiled tactfully, but she didn't hide her gloating.

King Ning tugged at the corners of his mouth, his frozen hand in the air went around in half a circle, scooped up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and pretended to resolve the embarrassment. When he raised his glass and brought the tea to his mouth, he suddenly felt as if someone was looking at this side, raised his eyes and glanced around, and sure enough, he met the gaze of Song Huan Chu, the prince of Xishu Zhan.

To be precise, Song Huan Chu was not looking at him, but Lin Ruo. In that obscure gaze, there was unwillingness and sadness, especially when he saw the pair of Hetian red jade bracelets placed in transparent glass boxes.

Lin Ruo naturally felt the compelling gaze, but she just glanced at it lightly, a hint of a smile crossed the corner of her mouth, and then she refocused her attention on Lin Qi and Li Xien.

"That's ...... Prince Zhan of Western Shu? You still invited him? ”

King Ning lowered his voice and asked Lin Ruo.

"Yes, yes," Lin Ruo pouted in the direction of the Hetian red jade bracelet, "That pair of Hetian red jade bracelets was brought by him from Xishu." It was originally a gift of thanks for saving my life, but I took it to the Star Picking Tower and became today's lot. ”

King Ning tugged at the corners of his mouth, this is a bit ruthless, right? However, who made Song Huan Chu engaged to Gu Manni? Who is in Bian'an City, who doesn't know the incompatible faction between Lin Ruo and the Gu family? It is understandable to be ruthless to the enemy...... Right?

Wait, life-saving grace?

"That's right, he followed us to the north, and when he ran into some trouble in Beiqi, the prince and I rescued him."

The fiancé who saved the most disgusted person in his life changed hands and treated other people's thank you gifts as a lot, and invited people to participate in the auction! What is this operation? Are you afraid that the feud will not be deep enough?

Looking at Lin Ruo's calm appearance, King Ning didn't know what to say. His eyes moved from the Hetian red jade bracelet beside Song Huanchu to Gu Kaizhi's "Qin Chopping Picture".

Lin Ruolin Qi slapped King Ning with his elbow like a little adult, and whispered: "Lord Ning, if you really like that volume of "Qin Chopping Diagram", or listen to my second sister, buy it in advance, it will be eight thousand taels of gold, and you will have a moment to say good things to your princess while you still have time to leave the shooting." Otherwise, if you really start filming, some of you will regret it! ”

"Do you know anything?"

Lin Ruo didn't want to say anything, but it was much easier to get words out of the mouth of this little ghost.

Unexpectedly, Lin Qi has been following Li Yan recently, and he has been a lot more shrewd, and King Ning has tried his best to speak, but he has not told half the truth. After another hesitation, the time has passed, and the auction has officially begun, except for the pair of Hetian Hongyu bracelets that fell back into the hands of Song Huan Chu and did not participate in the bidding, the remaining nine treasures began to bid in turn.
