The sword falls on the Lethe River, and the fog rises in the southern city (2)
"Three thousand one hundred taels of silver." A beautiful sound came from the next wing, and it stood out in the already quiet lobby.
Yu Zijin couldn't help frowning, looked at the source of the voice, and thought of the maid who had just knocked on the door, and his heart was clear.
It seems that the man is going to do it against himself.
Hooked his lips and smiled, and suddenly lost the embarrassment of Fang Cai, a coldness appeared in his eyes, and he said lightly: "Four thousand taels." ”
"Four thousand one hundred taels."
Sure enough, as soon as Yu Zijin finished reporting, a voice next to her immediately offered a price of one hundred taels higher than her.
Yingli listened to the cold sweat, this Run Chamber of Commerce has always been a system of handing over money and delivering goods with one hand, and the flow of people is also quite strict, and now the two of them can enter the Runting Chamber of Commerce, in the eyes of Yingli, it is a blessing.
In addition, from listening to the chat between his sister and Xuanyuanqi, it can be seen that their purpose this time should be the last lot of the auction, Jiuling Pill. Thinking about the gilded post in Yu Zijin's hand before, he naturally thought that this thing should be given by the master, and the master must have acquiesced to Yu Zijin's behavior of taking the Nine Spirit Pill, and made all preparations for it.
But now that the auction of the Nine Spirit Pill has not yet begun, her sister actually took this spirit sword with someone. Although this Imperial Spirit Sword is also a rare treasure, where did they get so much money to let their sister squander it like this.
At this critical juncture, there are branches, she is a slave and maid, and she is soft-spoken, and it is difficult to stop her. According to this trend, if their sister really took this Imperial Spirit Sword, and they couldn't give up the last Nine Spirit Pill, when the people from the Run Chamber of Commerce came to ask for money, what should they do?
Just thinking about it, I suddenly saw a pair of slender fingers with calluses stretched out in front of me, shook it slightly, and suddenly came back to my senses, and looked at the extremely enlarged face in front of me in a daze.
"If you don't come back to your senses, your sister is afraid that she will sell you." Xuanyuan looked at the stunned girl with a playful expression, and his slender fingers pressed against his chin, lightly clasped in contemplation.
"Ahh Suddenly startled, Yingli was so frightened that the whole person jumped up, and hurriedly looked at Yu Zijin on the side, seeing that her expression had not changed, and she was caressing the wall of the white jade cup in her hand, as if she was contemplative, Fang reacted that she was teased by Xuanyuan again.
"You, you, you!" Yingli's cheeks were flushed, and she couldn't breathe.
"I'm me, I'm wrong?" Xuanyuan Qi obviously looked like he didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement.
Just as he was about to say something, a faint voice suddenly came from beside him: "Yingli, you go and help me do something." ”
After a while, after listening to Yu Zijin's whisper, Yingli's whole portrait was struck by lightning, with a look of disbelief and dumbfounded: "Sister, are you serious?" ”
"Let's go." Yu Zijin obviously didn't care, and when he heard the two clapping sounds from downstairs, he suddenly raised his voice and said, "Eight thousand taels." ”
"Eight thousand one hundred taels."
As soon as the words fell, the beautiful voice followed closely and came slowly.
Glancing at the warbler who was still standing in place with a stunned expression, Xuanyuan couldn't help but cough lightly, calling her fugue back to her thoughts.
"The oriole knows, so let's do it."
When the tender yellow figure disappeared from view, Xuanyuan Qi smiled and said, "When did you become so treacherous." ”
Xuanyuanqi's martial arts are not weak, and Yu Zijin did not deliberately avoid him when he whispered. One of the words naturally fell into his ears, with his intelligence, how could he not know the ninety-nine in her heart.
"It always has been." Yu Zijin turned his head and met his gaze rarely, "What, because I'm not the simple Yu Zijin from Beiyuan, I'm disappointed?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Xuanyuan's smiling face froze instantly, and he pulled the corners of his mouth unnaturally, and a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes: "You know, I didn't mean that." ”
Ignoring Xuanyuan Qi no more, Yu Zijin once again turned his gaze to the stage. A guy with a cloth hat suddenly ran to the stage and whispered a few words in the middle-aged man's ear. I saw that the middle-aged man had an incredulous expression, and his eyes swept in the direction of Yu Zijin as if he were unintentional, but he quickly returned to normal, and waved his hand to let the guy go down.
The wooden door was gently pushed open, and Yingli pursed her lips and walked in, standing silently behind Yu Zijin.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Qi suddenly swept away his negative emotions and cheered: "Yo, this is your sister's money, and it's not yours, what are you feeling distressed about?" ”
"What are you talking about, I'm not upset." The oriole is in a hurry.
"I'm not upset with you, is this a self-confession?"
"I'm not happy about you." , no longer looking at him, turned to Yu Zijin, "Sister, the things you explained have been done." ”
"Hmm."
How could the people in the audience see such a big battle on weekdays, and they all whispered about who was sitting in the two wooden windows on the third floor.
"Nine thousand one hundred taels."
"Ten thousand taels."
As soon as the words fell, the side room next to it was silent for a moment, not as smooth as before.
Seeing this, Yingli was even more anxious, and couldn't wait to enter the next room, shout the price for them, and break her sister's thoughts.
And Yu Zijin on the side is still not salty, even Xuanyuan Qi is eating snacks by himself, and no one notices the anxious girl in this room.
It's really that the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, Yingli said in his heart.
The oriole was anxious to rush out, but was suddenly stopped by a pair of big hands.
"What do you want to do?"
Just when the middle-aged man on the stage was about to make a decision, a voice came from the next wing room again, but unlike Fang Cai, it was a male voice at this time, and it was on the other side opposite the female voice.
"Twenty thousand taels, gold."
The atmosphere was as silent as death, and Rao was already aware that Yu Zijin had sent a maid to come and exchange the unit of 10,000 taels for gold, and he was suddenly speechless, shocked.
Yu Zijin frowned, tightened the white jade cup in his hand, and looked in the direction of the mysterious man.
Could it be that her plan was discovered so quickly? But even if she saw through it, why did she suppress her so generously, she didn't say a word when she was bidding, but in the end, she directly offered a price of 20,000 taels of gold.
Also with a solemn face was Xuanyuan Qi, he knew that the reason why Yu Zijin asked Yingli to tell the person in charge of the Run Chamber of Commerce that the price of their bid was measured in gold, just to deceive the woman next door.
She believed that the woman next door would definitely follow her bid and offer a price of 10,000 taels, and at that time, as long as the bidding hammer fell, the person in charge would tell her the fact that the final price of the spirit sword was 10,000 taels of gold instead of 10,000 taels of silver.
No matter how noble her status is, she will definitely not be able to get such a price. There is a rule that if the final bidder gives up the lot, the initial bid price of the last bidder except her will start again, and the person who gives up the lot is not allowed to participate in the auction again.
In this way, Yu Zijin could most likely auction this spirit sword at the most reasonable price.
"20,000 taels of gold, will anyone increase the price again?" The middle-aged man's deep voice pulled the surprised people back to reality.
Yingli couldn't believe his ears, he thought that Yu Zijin's price of 10,000 taels of gold was already a desperate move, but he never thought that someone would be more generous.
Yu Zijin pursed his lips, remained silent, lowered his eyes slightly, and smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Deal! I announce that the second lot in this round of auction was finally sold by a noble man in the No. 4 private room on the third floor for 20,000 taels of gold. "The hammer slammed down, and it was unusually clear in a quiet atmosphere.
Suddenly, the scene was like an explosion, and it was out of control, and everyone guessed who was in the No. 4 private room.
The middle-aged man coughed heavily, finally quieting down the people who had fallen into a hot chat again.
"Okay, let's move on to the third and last lot of this auction, the Nine Spirit Pill. The starting price is 500 taels of silver. ”
"Six hundred taels."
"Eight hundred taels."
The bidding price continued to increase, and the people in the fourth chamber no longer moved, Yu Zijin also watched the changes, swept away the sorrow of Fang Cai, and looked coldly at the bidding cards that were constantly raised.
"Five thousand taels of silver, is there anyone who continues to increase the price? Five thousand taels for the first time. ”
"Six thousand taels." Yu Zijin said lightly.
"Ten thousand taels." Suddenly, a flower-haired man in a light blue robe walked in from outside the door, with a vague smile on his lips, and a touch of evil in his eyes, blatantly looking towards the wing room on the third floor.
Yu Zijin frowned slightly, he never thought that he would meet Bailishu in the Run Chamber of Commerce. Listen to Lin An, since the previous incident in Beiyuan, there was a royal dispute in Nanyue, and it stands to reason that Bailishu should be too busy to take a break, how could he appear in the Run Chamber of Commerce so leisurely today.
Could it be that he has already discovered the purpose of his coming?
Although he had been prepared, this trip would definitely not be peaceful, but he didn't expect to come so quickly, and as soon as he stepped into the realm of Nanyue with his front foot, he attracted this Qingwang prince.
After Bailishu came in, everyone saluted him one after another, and they couldn't help but be restrained.
And the main owner is the clothes don't care, and he walks towards the front of the main hall on the first floor
It's such a big shelf, Yu Zijin said in his heart.
"Brother Shizi!" The window of the second chamber was suddenly opened, and a light purple shadow was exposed to everyone.
The woman pushed the door and ran out with a smile, and after a while, she came to the first floor, holding Bai Lishu's arm familiarly, and smiling sweetly: "Why is Brother Shizi here, yesterday Xin'er sent someone to ask if you want to come here with you today, and there is no letter." Xin'er thought that Brother Shizi was busy with business, so she came first, and Brother Shizi wouldn't blame Xin'er. ”
"How could it be, if you want to blame it, you should blame the subordinates for not communicating to this son in time, otherwise, Xin'er's invitation, this son will go even if he is busy." Bailishu smiled.
"Sister, it turns out that the person who just provoked was Bai Lixin, the fourth princess of Nanyue. However, my sister has no grievances with her, why should she do that. The oriole muttered and grumbled. Even looking at Bai Lixin's eyes became a little disgusted.
is obviously a princess of a country, but she is so childish and troublesome, where does she come from.
"You don't understand that. Some people just have nothing to do, they like to find trouble by themselves, and they mess around. Xuanyuan interjected, putting on a seductive look.
"So you're also idle?" Yingli's eyes widened, and a triumphant smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Xuanyuan was stunned for a moment, his face gradually turned black, and he exhaled deeply: "The girl has learned a lot." ”
"Thanks for the compliment." The oriole symbolically blessed her body towards Bailishu, and then turned to Yu Zijin, "Sister, now that the princesses and sons of Nanyue are here, what should we do?" ”
Now this time is not suitable for the two parties to face each other, if it is a coincidence, as long as they restrain a little, they may not be exposed, but if they have already gotten the news, then no matter how they hide, they can't avoid these two people.
Yu Zijin fell into contemplation for a moment, and for the sake of today's plan, he could only stand still. Fortunately, the original purpose of her coming was not to get the so-called Nine Spirit Pill, since this Baili Shu wanted to participate in a sleep, she seemed to be happy.
"Ten thousand taels. Is there a further price increase? The lobby on the first floor once again returned to its original order, but the atmosphere was slightly depressing, and the people who were talking about it in three or two were closed one after another, not daring to disturb the two nobles.
"Fifty thousand taels." In the fourth chamber, the calm voice sounded again, not as big as the 20,000 taels of gold, this time the price was slightly conservative.
"One hundred thousand taels." Bai Lishu shook his head and smiled, and the Tsing Yi guards on the side raised the bidding sign in response.
"One hundred and fifty thousand taels."
"Three hundred thousand taels."
"Three hundred and fifty thousand taels."
The two parties are stuck, quite like the showdown between Yu Zijin and Bai Lixin in the previous lot, one side is bound to win, and the other side is biting.
"Nine hundred and fifty thousand taels." The voice coming from the fourth compartment was unhurried, like a teasing, scratching very much.
Bai Lishu frowned, raised his hand and beckoned Qing Yue on the side: "How much silver can be moved in the palace?" ”
"Hui Shizi, a total of one million taels of silver, is already the largest amount. The man is pressing, the son of the world might as well let ......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Bai Lishu clasp his fingers lightly, realizing that he didn't want to listen to him anymore, so he immediately stopped his mouth and stood aside respectfully.
After being silent for a long time, there was still no other movement in Bailishu, and Yingli looked puzzled: "Huh? This Qingwang prince still looks like he is bound to win, why is this so quiet, don't you have to give up? ”
Yu Zijin tugged at the corners of his mouth, and forgot to look at the direction of the No. 4 wing rather meaningfully: "No." ”
"One million taels." Sure enough, the cyan figure in the lobby on the first floor raised the sign again, and the man in the light blue robe spit out these words clearly, and then glanced at the No. 4 wing room defiantly.
Just when everyone thought that the mysterious nobleman in the fourth room would increase the price again, the carved window did not move for a long time, and the scene once reached the freezing point.
"One million two once, one million two two, one million two three, deal! Congratulations to Shizi for winning the last lot of this auction, Nine Spirits. ”
The middle-aged man smiled from ear to ear on stage, and even his words were filled with joy.
Bailishu narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly felt that something was not quite right, and he raised his eyes again and forgot to look at the No. 4 wing on the third floor, and suddenly reacted: "Qingyun, go up and take a look." ”
After a while, the window of the fourth chamber was opened, but what appeared in front of everyone was not the so-called mysterious man, but Qingyun, who had just gone up to investigate.
"Shizi, the person is gone!"
