Chapter 56: The Auction Seven Heart Orchids
There were quite a few people at the gate of Yecheng Auction House, and they got out of the carriage. When I walked into the auction house, I was greeted by someone.
Li Zeyi took out a wooden card, and when the visitor saw the wooden card, he immediately said respectfully: "Distinguished guests, please come here." ”
Several people followed him up to the second floor, close to the wing room inside, which was very luxuriously furnished.
After taking a seat, someone brought tea and snacks and fruits.
"This auction house is quite rich." Lin Zhuohua looked around like a curious baby, and finally sat down on the chaise longue covered with white fox fur.
"This auction house is divided into two wings of heaven and earth, and the wings of heaven and earth are some distinguished guests with status. Most of the people in the place are rich businessmen, and the hall is to entertain some ordinary people and people on the rivers and lakes. ”
Li Zeyi saw that she was very curious, and there was a trace of pampering in her eyes, so she introduced her.
"So what is our font size?"
Lin Zhuohua thinks that such a luxurious arrangement should be a celestial number, right? If this is not a celestial number, what kind of room should be decorated in that day's wing?
Stacked with gold?
"Of course it's the number of heavens." Li Zeyi handed her the peeled oranges, but Lin Youran on the side did not exist.
Lin Youran watched the actions between the two, everything was so natural, as if it had been done a thousand times. She also tried to reduce her sense of presence and not disturb the two of them.
secretly wondered how to let Lin Zhuohua meet her husband in her previous life and attract the attention of the other party.
There was a delicate voice in the hall downstairs, and just listening to it made people feel tingling to the bone.
Lin Zhuohua looked out curiously through the open window, where a charming-looking woman stood on the auction table in the hall.
The face is charming, and the enchanting figure is simply the best in the world.
"The auctioneers at this auction house are really charming." She snorted twice, but her eyes stared at the beauty for a moment.
"Welcome everyone, today's auction has officially begun." The bewitching woman's eyes swept away, and the man in the hall looked at her with an obsessive expression.
"The first lot, the skein brocade, was auctioned in groups of five. The hank brocade is as light as a wing, especially on the skin and has a cool feeling, which is very suitable for summer wear. ”
Women love to clean up beautifully, but in the hot summer, even if the light gauze skirt is worn on the body, it will feel hot.
Hank is hard to come by, and even the royal family can only get a few horses a year. Only the queen mother and the favored concubines and princesses can get some, and it is only enough to make a dress.
"Do you like it?" Li Zeyi looked at the bidding below, and asked sideways.
Lin Zhuohua shook his head: "Although this hank brocade is rare, my uncle will send me two horses every year. ”
She really doesn't lack this thing, whoever makes her grandfather's family rich, and this skein brocade is their family's tribute.
"Since my sister doesn't want it, then my sister will bid for it."
For women, this is certainly a good thing. It's a rare encounter, and she won't miss it. Besides, it is also decent to make a dress and pass it out.
"If my sister wants to, just shoot it with her ability." Lin Zhuohua didn't care to speak, now she was interested in medicinal materials, if only she could come across some precious medicinal materials.
The bidding below is constantly rising, and most of them are women shouting.
In the end, this matchless hank brocade was photographed by Lin Youran, and she thought it was probably because they were sitting in the Tianzi wing, and the people below didn't want to offend more.
Thinking like this, Lin Youran felt a little unhappy in his heart.
"My sister is rich, and these five hank brocades are a lot of money." Lin Youran couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she had to admit that Lin Youran was very good at doing business.
From the moment the young ladies and young masters of the Guogong Mansion were born, the mansion would buy them shops and Zhuangzi. The ladies, in particular, have been preparing for the dowry since they were born.
"It's incomparable with my sister, my sister is just a few shops running better."
Lin Youran is very satisfied with the profitability of running the shop, and she can say that there is no young lady in Shangjing who is better than her, because she knows how important money is.
While the two were talking, the auction had already started again, and the next things were still not of interest to Lin Zhuohua. Lin Youran gained a lot, and the gift to his grandmother was also photographed.
"This is the last auction item of the day, and it is a medicinal herb." The bewitching woman uncovered the white gauze, revealing a bright white seven-petal flower: "Seven-hearted orchid, when used in medicine, can treat all internal injuries." ”
This thing is not useful for the powerful, but it is very useful for those who are in the rivers and lakes.
Lin Zhuohua's eyes in the wing room lit up instantly, she had seen a pill on the pill that needed the Seven Heart Orchid, but there was no such herb in the medicine house.
This seven-hearted orchid, she is bound to get.
When Li Zeyi saw her seeing the glowing eyes of the Seven Heart Orchid, he knew that she definitely wanted this.
"Five hundred taels of gold."
The voice sounded as low as fine wine, and suddenly it was ten times higher than the price below.
As soon as this price came out, it caused an exclamation below. Everyone's eyes looked at the open wing room on the second floor, and when they saw that it was a person with a heavenly name, they silently withdrew their gaze.
At this time, in a wing room of the local name, a handsome man sat on a chair with a gloomy face. The attendants standing beside him did not dare to breathe, for fear of being affected by the anger of his master.
"Go find out who that person is."
He had to get this seven-hearted orchid, which was a holy medicine for internal injuries.
"Yes, master."
The attendant answered, and hurried out of the somewhat depressed room.
Soon the attendant came back and reported in a low voice: "Master, my subordinates have already inquired, and it was King Yi of Jingguo who came over with two young ladies." ”
"King Dajingyi? Isn't he never close to women? ”
It would not be easy to deal with this King Yi, who was very famous among the Three Kingdoms. He is a top-notch gentleman, but he is also really capable, and he is very good at leading troops to fight.
"Master, what should I do?" The attendant knew how important this seven-hearted orchid was to his master.
The man curled the corners of his mouth and sneered, and then asked the attendant to come over and give a few orders.
The seven-hearted orchid was finally bought by Li Zeyi for five hundred taels of gold, which is already a sky-high price.
This auction house made a lot of money, and after the auction ended, someone put the things up and sent them respectfully.
"It's something that was photographed by a couple of guests."
When the things were delivered, Li Zeyi and Lin Youran handed the money to the person who came.
Lin Zhuohua sighed in her heart, if it was someone else bidding for this seven-hearted orchid, she would definitely fight, but now it was Yiwang competition, and she could only wait for the next time to meet it.
"I'll send you." Li Zeyi handed the box containing the seven-hearted orchid to Lin Zhuohua, afraid that she would refuse to accept it: "It should be regarded as a thank you gift for the medicinal food you gave me last time." ”
Lin Zhuohua was stunned, she looked at the box in her hand. To be honest, she is really reluctant to return it, after all, the seven-heart orchid is difficult to get, and she doesn't know when she will meet it next time.
But that medicinal diet is not worth the money, and I always feel deserved to it.
"If I don't take a picture of this orchid, you can take a picture of it yourself. If you feel embarrassed to accept it, then you will be my exclusive doctor, you are the apprentice of Doctor Ning, so I will take advantage of it. ”
Li Zeyi saw her thoughts and smiled. He likes the title of exclusive doctor.
"Okay, then I'll take it first."
Lin Zhuohua was not polite when she heard this, her medical skills will get better and better in the future. If she can help her brother heal her body, then she will be fine with this orchid.
Lin Youran watched from the side, a little jealous in his heart. I didn't expect King Yi, who has never been close to women, to be so good to Lin Zhuohua. casually sold five hundred taels of gold, just to make her happy.
"His Royal Highness King Yi is really good to his eldest sister, which is enviable."
Lin Zhuohua glanced at her: "If you are envious, you can also find such a senior brother, but I look at my sister's popularity in Shangshangjing, if you want, I'm afraid there will be many men who are willing to give you a thousand gold to make you smile." ”
Lin Youran was a little annoyed when he heard this, so he stopped talking.
This sounds like she's charming, but only those Oiran of the Qinglou Chu Pavilion will have the charm of giving people a thousand gold. She was comparing herself to the Oiran, which was humiliating her.
Lin Zhuohua didn't care whether Lin Youran heard the meaning of her words or not, and had already taken the box and walked out with Li Zeyi.
Lin leisurely stomped his feet and hurried to follow.
Walking out of the Tianzi wing, I happened to meet the man who came out of the Tianzihao.
When Lin Youran saw the man's face, his pupils shrank suddenly. The body instinctively shrank for a moment, this is a reaction left over from the previous life.
But she soon calmed down, and saw that the man's eyes fell on Li Zeyi's body. Then she walked over, and she involuntarily stepped back a little, exposing Lin Zhuohua's silhouette.
"I've seen His Royal Highness King Yi in Xia Muze."
"Are you from the Mu family?" Li Zeyi's brows furrowed slightly, the Mu family is a very special existence. The Mu family has a certain status in the three kingdoms, and they have made friends with many people in the rivers and lakes, so they must not offend the Mu family.
"Yes, below is the young master of the Mu family. I was fortunate enough to see His Highness from afar, but His Highness shouldn't know me. ”
Mu Ze is very handsome in appearance, and he wears a white dress with a bit of immortal aura. Kelin leisurely knew that this person's true temperament was a cold-blooded pervert.
"Well, then say hello to the head of the Mu family on my behalf."
Li Zeyi doesn't like Mu Ze, although he looks like a character. But the gloom in his eyes made people feel uncomfortable.
"There's a reluctant invitation below, the seven-hearted orchid should have been photographed by King Yi. I really need the Seven Heart Orchid, I don't know if you can sell it? ”
Mu Ze's gaze suddenly fell on the two women standing behind Li Zeyi, and it was rumored that King Yi was not close to women. Maybe he could start with the two women, thinking of him with a warm and polite smile.
"Our Mu family has a beauty pill, which can make women's skin better and better after taking it, and their appearance is as charming as a flower. If King Yi is willing to give up the Seven Heart Orchid, the Mu family will give it to the two young ladies. ”
Women love beauty and will definitely like this beauty pill. Yangyan Dan is only available to the Mu family, which is also one of the reasons why the Mu family has a certain status in the Three Kingdoms and the rivers and lakes.
No matter where you are, don't underestimate a woman's ability. How many emperors only love beauties but don't love the country, and how many heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass.
"His Royal Highness King Seven Heart Orchid Yi has already given it to my sister, if you want it, you should ask my sister."
Lin Youran was overjoyed in his heart, as if he had inadvertently said something. After speaking, he looked at Lin Zhuohua and said softly: "Big sister, this beauty pill is a good thing." Even if my uncle has money, I'm afraid he won't be able to buy it. ”
Mu Ze glanced at the girl who spoke, and her face was beautiful and refined. Talking is even softer, like the little girl next door. Beauty is beautiful, but unfortunately it's not the type he likes.
He moved his gaze to the girl next to him, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The girl's face is bright and magnificent, especially the beautiful phoenix eyes. The pupils are as black as dots of ink, and their expressions are flying. A long red dress, as scorching as fire.
At first glance, this girl's temperament is hot, and this kind of little beauty is what suits his appetite.
"This young lady, how about I exchange the beauty pill for this seven-heart orchid with you?" His voice became warmer and warmer, and his demeanor was polite.
"No, no matter what you take out, I won't exchange this seven-heart orchid with you."
Lin Zhuohua didn't like the way he looked at her, which made her feel inexplicably disgusted, and she couldn't wait to gouge out his two eyeballs.
"Senior brother, let's go back, I'm tired."
She no longer paid attention to the man named Mu Ze, and turned her head to look at Li Zeyi.
Li Zeyi nodded, his cold eyes swept over Mu Ze and warned: "You'd better not have thoughts that you shouldn't have, otherwise even the Mu family won't be able to protect you." ”
After speaking, he pulled Lin Zhuohua to bypass Mu Ze and go downstairs.
When Lin Youran passed by Mu Ze, he lowered his head and hurriedly followed.
"This son, if you want orchids, you can go to the Lin Guogong Mansion to ask for it."
Looking at the direction in which several people left, the corners of Mu Ze's mouth hooked up a cold smile.
"It turned out to be the young lady of Lin Guogong's mansion, no wonder she is so confident."
"Master, do our people still have to intercept it halfway?" The attendant who followed him asked with some concern.
This King Yi is not easy to provoke, and now he has added a Lin Guo Mansion.
"Of course you have to intercept it, but the Seven Heart Orchid can't be captured. But this will not give me face, and I will also teach them some lessons. ”
After Mu Ze finished speaking, he also left the auction house with his attendants.
From the auction, Lin Zhuohua did not speak all the way. She thought about Lin Youran's reaction just now, and shrank when she saw the man named Mu Ze.
It was an instinctive horror, but they had never seen Mu Ze.
And just now she exposed herself and deliberately drew Mu Ze's gaze to her, this series of actions were all weird.
"Senior sister, when you meet Mu Ze in the future, stay away from him, this person is not as gentle and polite as he looks."
Li Zeyi saw that the little girl didn't speak for a long time, and she didn't know what she was thinking, so she interrupted her thoughts.
"Yes, I know."
Lin Zhuohua retracted his thoughts when he heard this, and nodded. Needless to say, she also felt that Mu Ze looked like a hypocritical person, just like the prince, who was inconsistent from what he looked like.
"Senior brother, is that beauty pill very precious?"
Something that can be called Dan has a sense of loftiness when you listen to it.
And that Mu Ze came up with a confident look, and exchanged the beauty pill for a seven-hearted orchid worth five hundred gold.
"The beauty pill is really rare, and only the Mu family knows how to make it. In the entire Stygian Feather Continent, there are many people who want to raise Yan Dan. ”
After Li Zeyi finished speaking, he hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled mockingly: "Most of the people who need beauty pills are women, and these women have great rights in both the family and the royal family, which is also one of the reasons why the Mu family has a foothold." ”
Lin Zhuohua nodded as if she didn't understand, thinking that there seemed to be an elixir in the medicine house that could make women beautify their skin, and she thought she could try it.
If it is refined, then there will be a steady stream of money coming in.
Thinking about it like this, she already had some charters in her mind.
The carriage came to a halt and she staggered forward. Fortunately, he was pulled by Li Zeyi to avoid falling.
Li Zeyi protected the person in his arms, and his voice was a little displeased.
"What's the situation?"
"Master, someone is blocking the way." Sui Feng was also speechless, looking at the man in black blocking the road in front of him.
These people are still finished, they just folded a batch of people in the morning, and now another batch is coming. He admires this perseverance.
"Quick fix."
Listening to the cold voice in the carriage, his body trembled with the wind, the master was already angry, and he didn't dare to delay any longer.
Fingers snapped in the air, and soon two figures flashed, and the three of them flew forward to fight with the man in black.
Just fighting, these black-clothed people quickly evacuated after feeling that they couldn't beat them.
This situation is a little wrong, it is different from the morning one.
The sound of fighting outside disappeared, and he walked to the carriage with the wind and reported: "Master, they have withdrawn." ”
Lin Zhuohua: ......
"Find out whose person it is." Li Zeyi's brows furrowed slightly, and then said, "Go home." ”
The carriage galloped all the way back to the house, and Lin Youran got out of the carriage with a pale face. It was the first time she had encountered the assassination of the man in black, and it was inevitable that she would panic if she was a person who lived an extra life.
But fortunately, King Yi's people were powerful and drove those people away.
"Sister, sister will go back and rest first." She stepped forward quickly, speaking weakly.
Lin Zhuohua nodded, looked at her and turned his head after leaving, and said, "It seems that she was scared this time." ”
"Too timid."
After Li Zeyi finished speaking, he sent Lin Zhuohua back to her yard and watched her walk into the house before turning to leave.
They stayed in Yecheng for another three days, during which time no Assassins were found. It was a lot of fun, and finally Lin Zhuohua left reluctantly.
When they returned to Shangshanjing, it was already dark, and Li Zeyi sent the two back to the Gongfu before returning to his palace.
Early the next morning, Lin Zhuohua was invited to Ningshouyuan.
"Doctor Ning's assessment has passed?" The old lady pulled Lin Zhuohua to sit beside her and asked with concern.
"Naturally, it's passed, and the master will come to the door in two days." Lin Zhuohua raised his chin arrogantly, quite a little shy.
The grandfather and grandson were chatting, and the housekeeper hurriedly walked in.
"Old lady, there is a son surnamed Mu who came to visit."
