"Huh? But ......" The man was still talking excitedly, but now he was suddenly called out, slightly stunned, and seemed to be a little unsatisfied.

"Huh?" Xing Tianze threw a dark look over, "What's the matter?" ”

Only then did the man notice that the prince's face didn't seem to be very good, and then he realized that his attitude was really overstepping, and he didn't dare to say anything more, so he retreated tremblingly.

……

Three days later, the Treasure Pavilion.

Tao Mingxi took Xiao Ran to the entrance of the auction, but was stopped by two guards guarding the door at the moment he wanted to enter, the person's attitude was not too bad, and he asked respectfully: "May I ask this young lady, is there an invitation?" ”

"Nope." Tao Mingxi pretended to be calm and replied, she had never had an in-depth understanding of what the auctions were like in ancient times, so she was not very familiar with them, and after thinking about it, she asked directly: "Can't you go in without an invitation?" ”

"Of course not." The other party gave her an embarrassed smile, and then quickly explained: "It's just that if you don't have an invitation, you need to pay a deposit of 1,000 taels of silver before you can enter." ”

"1,000 taels per person?" Tao Mingxi asked with some uncertainty that the other party didn't make it clear, and she was also a little confused.

After seeing him nod, Tao Mingxi happily took out two large silver tickets from his sleeve and handed them over, and then successfully entered the venue with Xiao Ran.

When she went in, she still thought in her heart, what a traitor!

What she didn't know was that the two of them went in with their front feet, and they came with their back feet......

The layout of the auction hall is no different from the current layout, but the information of the guests is completely confidential, and the venue is divided into many large and small compartments, each of which will be covered by a gauze tent to ensure that people outside cannot see the people inside.

The two were taken to the cubicle by the steward, and although the auction had not officially started, the surroundings were already boiling!

"It seems that they have really prepared a lot for this banquet!" Tao Mingxi muttered in a low voice.

Xiao Ran stood aside, with an obvious look of worry on his face, his head slightly lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.

Tao Mingxi turned his head to look at him, and after noticing the other party's expression, he asked, "What?" Worried that I won't be able to shoot the flaming grass? ”

"Hmm......" Xiao Ran did not deny it, and said honestly, "There are inevitably too many people who come to compete, we ......"

"It's okay." Tao Mingxi stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, and then said with relief: "Before I came, I checked the value of the fire grass, and ordinary people don't think it has any special effects, so there won't be many competitors." ”

"Really?" Xiao Ran looked at the other party suspiciously, she really watched Yu'er suffer for so many years, and now she can't believe that the cold disease on her body can really be cured.

"Hmm."

During the conversation, a sexy woman walked out of the audience, clapped her hands to make a noise, and then said, "Guests, please be quiet!" Our auction is about to begin! ”

The sound of conversation in the hall was gradually disappearing, and everyone looked down with great interest and listened to the woman talking.

The opening remarks were the usual polite words, as well as the rules of the auction, Tao Mingxi didn't listen carefully, and soon the auction began, and the first thing to sell was some strange and fresh gadgets, Tao Mingxi didn't look interested, even if he was interested, he didn't dare to sell rashly.

After all, she still has business to do this time, and she doesn't know if she will exceed her budget when she auctions the fire grass, so it's better not to act rashly.

"The next thing to open the wheat is an herb called Fire Grass." I don't know how long it was, but finally it was my turn, the woman stood below, and clearly introduced the effect, and then quoted the lowest price: "The reserve price is five hundred taels, and the price increase is not less than fifty taels each time." ”

Tao Mingxi immediately spoke, and specially lowered his voice: "Five hundred and fifty taels." ”

"Six hundred taels." Soon another voice picked up, and I don't know where it came from.

The price increased rapidly, and at the beginning, there were still many people competing with Tao Mingxi, but later they may feel that this mere herb is no longer worth the price, so they didn't speak again.

……

Inside a certain compartment.

"Lord Wang, this herb seems to be quite useful, don't you want to take a picture?" The person who came with Xing Tianze was the guy who sent him the invitation that day.

Because he was really interested in this, he brought someone over by the way.

"Useless to the king." Xing Tianze spit out a sentence expressionlessly, no matter how useful it is, it is useless to him anyway, it is waste.

"But according to the villain's heard, there are still many effects of this fire grass, you should not be harmful if you take it down and store it, even if it is not used medicinally, take some soup for the woman to drink, you can also condition the body, remove moisture, and care for ......"

The man said a lot of words, Xing Tianze was not moved in the slightest, but after hearing that he could give a woman a make-up, his face was still a little more moved.

That's it! If she takes it back to Tao Mingxi, she should be able to use it.

As soon as I was thinking in my heart, I heard that the woman in the audience had already spoken.

"Are there any guests who have prices higher than three thousand taels?" The glamorous woman in the audience raised her voice and asked, and at the same time looked at the compartment above to make sure that no one answered her, and then continued: "If not, then congratulations to this young lady......"

Xing Tianze slowly spoke, interrupted the other party's words, and said in a deep voice: Four thousand taels. ”

Hearing this, the people around were shocked, and you began to whisper as soon as you said a word, discussing what kind of person it was, the price of a liter is a thousand taels, it is too arrogant!

Tao Mingxi was also surprised, and his face instantly became ugly, not because of the price, but because of the person who spoke.

Xing Tianze!

He's even coming to this auction! And it seems that the compartment he is in is next door to himself.

Tao Mingxi was very glad that he deliberately lowered his voice when he just spoke, otherwise he would have been discovered a long time ago.

Tao Mingxi's eyes widened slightly, and he muttered in a low voice: "The road is not so narrow, right...... What a grudge! ”

"What are you talking about, Miss?" Xiao Ran on the side didn't hear clearly, and asked with some doubts.

"Nope." Tao Mingxi seemed to come back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly opened his mouth to increase the price: "Four thousand five hundred taels." ”

Xing Tianze next door couldn't bear it at all: "Six thousand taels." ”

The prices of both sides are getting higher and higher, and Tao Mingxi has no bottom in her heart, and now the price is almost beyond her budget......
