Mingyuexi returned to Buzhuang with a puzzled face, and it happened that Gu Yanbai was also there.

He originally came to find Mingyuexi, but he heard from the guys that she went to the gold department, so he waited leisurely in the cloth village.

"Why are you here?" Mingyuexi spread his hands helplessly, this time he really didn't blame himself for appearing in Buzhuang.

"I'm looking for you." Gu Yanbai nodded, got up and walked in the direction where Mingyue Creek was.

Mingyuexi didn't speak, and walked straight to the chair in the corner.

"What's going on?" Looking at her listless and puzzled look, Gu Yanbai really couldn't understand it, he chased after her, trying to ask the reason.

"It's not a big deal, today the Ministry of Gold came to collect taxes, and there is a discrepancy with the amount of taxes I calculated, but they refused to admit it, I had to go to the Ministry of Gold for a trip, and got a certificate from the head of the Ministry of Gold, but who knows......" Mingyuexi sorted out the matter carefully, but halfway through it, he suddenly pondered.

Gu Yanbai looked at Mingyuexi as if he didn't understand, and didn't bother her, just waited quietly.

"That's what they meant!" Raising her head suddenly, Mingyuexi realized the importance of the matter, it turned out that it was not that the Ministry of Finance realized that the taxes were too heavy for the people to afford, but that the "tax cut" was only aimed at her.

"What do you mean?" Gu Yanbai sat next to Mingyuexi and looked at her with lazy eyes, it was really like a pleasing painting, but it was a pity that Mingyuexi didn't have the heart to pay attention to these now.

"Are they going to show me favor with a tax cut, and only against me?" Mingyuexi frowned, and seemed to be skeptical of this idea.

After going to the Ministry of Gold and tossing around, when she returned to Buzhuang, the officials of the Ministry of Gold who were collecting taxes nearby had already disappeared without a trace, and it was only then that she realized her reaction.

stood up and was about to rush out, but Gu Yanbai on the side hurriedly pulled her back.

"What are you going to do here?" Gu Yanbai also got up, holding Ming Yuexi's arm tightly and refusing to let go.

"Naturally, I'm going to go to them for an explanation! Let me go! Mingyuexi turned around and pulled Gu Yanbai's hand, trying to break free from his restraints.

Looking at her murderous appearance, where can I let her out? The harder she struggled, the more Gu Yanbai couldn't let go of her.

"Nope." Shaking his head, he seemed much more well-behaved.

"Why not?" Ming Yuexi also calmed down, pursed her lips, and looked at his sincere eyes, as if she had been deceived by the whole world, and he would definitely be the one to be trusted.

"You think, since people have gone to such great lengths to please you, naturally they don't want to be exposed." Gu Yanbai saw that she was much calmer, and then realized her behavior, so she hurriedly let go of the hand holding Mingyuexi, and said slowly: "Maybe it's just kindness, you can accept it with peace of mind." ”

Gu Yanbai's panicked appearance provoked Mingyuexi to laugh, and praised him for being cute.

"Yes." Mingyuexi nodded and sat back in Fang Cai's position.

After getting along for this period of time, Mingyuexi found that what Gu Yanbai said was very correct, so when she couldn't make up her mind, she was more willing to do what he thought.

Recently, I heard that there is a very good shop in the capital is renting, many people are worried about that shop, but unfortunately not everyone wants to rent, because the shop is extremely popular, it is a pity to rent it to anyone, the owner of the shop came up with a way, that is, bidding.

On the day of the bidding, the person who likes this shop can participate in the bidding in person, or send someone to replace it, and the bidder only needs to report the amount he wants to give, as for the shop, it is naturally the highest bidder.

Mingyuexi had no intention of participating in the bidding, but it was not bad to have nothing to do to join in the fun.

On the day of the bidding, Mingyuexi brought a guy to the scene with him, and held a bidding right in front of the shop, and sure enough, the location of the shop was excellent, and the shop was spacious, no wonder the bidders outside were waiting here early in the morning.

The number of people who wanted to rent a shop was innumerable, and they all gathered around the shop, just waiting for the owner of the shop to announce the start of the bidding.

"Who do you think will get the lease qualification for this shop today?"

"Whoever bids higher will be the one who wins."

"Not necessarily, it's just a shop, and it can still fetch a sky-high price?"

"Why not necessarily, a few days ago, there was a shop in the west that also used this method, who knew that the shop was more valuable than real money, so there are still people willing to pay and can't grab it!"

"I see, it must be the one in the front row."

"It's possible, and at first glance it's a rich ......"

The bidding has not yet begun, the people have surrounded the scene, in addition to coming to participate in the bidding, there are a lot of people to see the excitement, although there is no money to bid for the qualification of shop rental, to see what amount of the final transaction is not impossible.

An old man of about fifty or sixty years old slowly walked up to the stage, apparently the owner of this shop.

"Okay, now that everyone is almost here, let's start bidding!" The old man vigorously struck the gong in his hand and announced the start of the bidding.

Someone made the first offer, and the others immediately quoted a higher price after looking at each other, but the price increased several times in the blink of an eye, which caused the people present to talk about it, and they were much more excited than the bidders.

Mingyuexi has been watching the excitement, she feels that although the price is high, this shop is not unworthy of this price.

The price is getting higher and higher, but the owner of the shop has never announced the transaction, but his eyes will drift in the direction of Mingyuexi from time to time, as if he is waiting for her to quote.

Mingyuexi also noticed this, and she couldn't help but secretly wonder: Do I look so much like a rich man?

Out of politeness and curiosity, Mingyuexi also casually quoted a price, which was higher than the price quoted by others, but it was not a loss but a steady profit, but the old man immediately struck the gong.

The sound of the gong means that the bidding is terminated.

"I declare that this girl is the winner of today's bid!" The old man smiled all over his face, brandished the gong and hammer and pointed in the direction where Mingyue Creek was, and seemed to be very satisfied with her.

didn't expect such a grand bid to end so hastily, and everyone's eyes were all on Mingyuexi in surprise, but she was still standing in a daze.

"Minato...... It's just a good time to have fun. Thinking like this, Mingyuexi stood in place like petrified, not knowing what to do.

Bidding rules, as long as the bidder participates in the offer, the shop owner can rent the shop at this price, and the winner cannot cancel the lease for any reason, that is, as long as the mouth is opened, no longer want to quit.

In this way, Mingyuexi easily rented a shop that other Beijing merchants wanted but could not get.

This matter quickly reached Gu Yanbai's ears, and when he contacted the matter of the Jin Ministry, he realized that someone was killing Mingyuexi.
