Chapter Forty-Seven: Flowers Fall
Hong Yi fiddled with Lianshan's upside-down cup, and his mouth pursed: "Lianshan doesn't look down on me." ”
Lian Shan looked at Ming Yi in embarrassment and asked for help, Ming Yi glanced in the direction of the man in white, and smiled at her: "Go quickly, people have been waiting for a long time and be careful to drink the wine by themselves." ”
Hong Yifei gave Ming Yi a wink: "It's mine that can't run." ”
Hong Yi casually drank the wine from the table next door, causing an uproar at the scene. This is the last precious second hairpin flower, and it was given to a mediocre-looking foreign businessman. Even the merchant himself was so surprised that he couldn't speak with his mouth wide open.
After Hong Yi walked away, the table became lively again. The people of Chang'an were envious, and the outsiders were in a trance, and said: "Look closely, it's really a stunning beauty." ”
Hong Yi finally arrived in front of the person she was thinking about, the man in white was very calm, took the wine up, and arched his hand and said, "Under Feng Huan." ”
Hong Yi didn't want to take Qiao anymore, so he took the cup and drank it all. Throw the last hairpin flower into the cup.
Exclamations and sighs erupted in the hall. Seven or eight people left the table in anger.
Mother Yin hurriedly appeased: "There are seven more Oiran hairpins next, don't be impatient, don't be impatient, the spring festival will begin." ”
Then there is the flower race, which is very similar to the auction, with five hairpins participating, starting at five taels, and one raising hand for one tael. The only difference is that in order to prevent malicious price increases, the unsuccessful bidder also needs to pay one-fifth of his final bid for charity purposes.
Starting from five taels, Feng Huan didn't say a word, more than thirty taels, and the outsider was probably unable to compete, so he no longer raised his hand and took out six taels. The competition between the other three became even more intense, and they continued to bid for the price, approaching fifty taels. Hong Yi's eyes always fell on Feng Huan, and his face became more and more ugly.
Feng Huan finally spoke: "No matter how much the three of them ask, I, one or two more." ”
The audience was in an uproar, and the three of them were not convinced, laughing and saying that they wanted to add two, two, three, two, five.
Feng Huan took out three quail egg-sized, blue and crystal gems from his arms: "These three, each is worth at least fifty taels." I'll just bid three first. ”
All eyes are fixed on these three gems, although Ming Yi is not proficient, he can also see that this is several times better than what he sold, and fifty taels of one is probably the reserve price.
Yin's mother walked over and gave a salute: "Can you borrow a gem to take a look?" ”
Feng Huan personally sent it away, and Yin's mother looked at it carefully for a while: "Three can be worth at least two hundred taels." Do you still have to bid? ”
The three of them looked at each other, and the elder took a drink: "It seems that this son is bound to win, and he is the beauty of an adult." In the end, he asked for forty taels, paid eight taels, and withdrew from the battle.
The anxious person was indignant and gave himself steps: "I was in a hurry, now I look, the little lady in white is even more delicate and moving, this brother is please." "Took out the money.
The young Zhang Yang was still unconvinced, and asked Yin's mother: "With the reputation of my eight banks, can I bid today and send it tomorrow?" ”
Zheng Hao opened Chrysostom at this time: "Listen to Zheng's persuasion, tonight my friend is bound to win, does this son want to use dangxing to take down?" ”
He hesitated. was stopped by the people who came with him: "Childe, don't be impulsive, let him today, tomorrow fifty taels will be enough to cover the courtyard, why be tempted." ”
Yin's mother rounded up: "The rule of hairpins is to cash silver or gold jewelry, and it is counted when it is brought to the table." No credit. ”
The pawn had steps, threw down ten taels of silver, and left: "Blame me for taking the enemy with less cash, and say goodbye!" ”
Ming Yi watched the excitement and enjoyed it, and he didn't care about Hong Yi's expression, and when he looked at her again, he saw that half of her mouth fat was missing, thinking that it was because he couldn't hold back his laughter and bit his lip, so he squeezed his eyebrows and laughed at her. Hong Yi threw a shy and cowardly look, and lowered his head again, so as to hide the joy in his eyes.
Feng Huan led Hong Yi upstairs and into the house in full view of everyone, Ming Yi thought that this little wave of hooves was afraid that he would have a big color ring tonight, and his face was hot. Hurry up and pack up your spirits, the next one is Kwai Niang.
There are also many people who leave a cup for Kui Niang, she came to Mingyi's table for the first time, drank the wine in front of Lianshan with trembling hands, glanced at Lianshan timidly, and lowered her head again. Lian Shan did not show timidity and nodded to her.
It took a lot of time for Kwai Niang to select the remaining four, and Ming Yi saw that she chose them to be honest and gentle-looking people, and two of them were literati who entered with "media tickets". While sighing at her unselective vision, the honest looking stomach has more bad water, and on the other hand, she is also half relieved, these two people have limited strength, and the asking price will not be too high.
When the bidding began, Ming Yi's heartbeat instantly became faster, seven two or eight, and he could still calm down, twelve and thirteen, the two literati gave up one after another, seventeen and eighteen, her palms began to sweat, twenty-three and twenty-four, and even the mountain panicked, and kept looking at her.
Twenty-eight, she felt like she was about to faint. Those two opponents had no intention of giving up.
Thirty, Lian Shan raised his hand for the last time, and Ming Yi didn't dare to look at Kui Niang anymore. Yin's mother had already cut off her way to get credit before, and Lianshan had to take out six taels of silver to disarm. Looking at Kui Niang again, her eyes are already like stagnant water.
In the end, the forty-eight taels hugged Kwai Niang was a man with good looks and good manners, and secretly asked Ling'er, his surname was Zhou, a family of military generals, and a Lang general from the fifth grade.
Zhou Langjiang also wanted to sit down and watch the excitement for a while, so he asked Kwai Niang to add a seat next to him and accompany him to drink. Aoi Niang sat quietly, like a puppet.
Mingyi didn't want to see it, he couldn't bear to watch it, and it was useless to watch. simply retired early with Lianshan, tonight, there is no half of her bed in Xinglu Courtyard.
Walking out of the dew courtyard, the wind is cool. The big and small Qinglou taverns in Pingkangfang were very lively, and Ming Yi still blamed himself unhappily.
"Lianshan, you think that Zhou Lang will be quite handsome, right?"
"Yes."
"It looks like it's only twenty-five or sixteen, maybe I haven't married a wife yet, and I may not have taken a concubine if I do, right?"
"Yes."
"Will he be nice to Aoi Niang?"
Lianshan was silent.
"Maybe after tonight, he will redeem Aoi Niang. Even if she doesn't, she may come often and become a regular customer who takes care of her. Maybe not, but it's better to accompany a young and handsome military attache than to accompany someone else, isn't it? Mingyi couldn't stop wanting to speak, as if he was bitten by an insect in his heart if he didn't speak.
Lian Shan interrupted her: "Lady, don't worry about others anymore. Every man has his own life and his own creation. ”
"Lianshan, I thought you cared about Aoi Niang very much." Ming Yi was surprised by the indifference in Lianshan's tone.
"Lianshan only cares about the lady." Lianshan turned upwind to cover the cool breeze.
Mingyi's heart was very cold, she remembered Lianshan's childhood when he was sold and bullied, the eyes in his eyes when he described the abductor being cut off, and the atmosphere of the West Winghouse.
She once felt that she and Lianshan would heal each other, whether it was a sister or brother, a master and a servant, she hoped that he would be well. Now, she has a little fear, her withdrawal is not saved, because of the livelihood, but there is still shame and guilt in her heart. Lian Shan, it's true, there is nothing in his heart except his Ming Niangzi.
