Chapter XVII: Bargaining

Even Ye Yun, who was as indifferent as water, couldn't help but be taken aback, such a huge red coral tree, with bright color and luster and delicate as blood, was simply breathtaking.

"This is good, this is good, it is much more precious than that tiara, it is better to give this to the mother as a birthday gift!"

The Twelve Princes saw a new hope and were immediately happy.

What a boy whose temper comes and goes quickly!

But this time, while he was energetic, he keenly focused on Mu Wenqing and his party.

He deigned to come out of the pavilion and came to Mu Wenqing's side, and Mu Wenqing led everyone to salute him immediately.

Ye Yun was slightly blessed, and he lowered his eyebrows and didn't look at him. She doesn't have a good impression of the royal people, even if she knows that Concubine Min and the queen who gave her death are not all the way, but the twelve princes are the blood of the heavenly family, she doesn't hate him, and she is already very face-saving.

I only heard the twelve princes speak: "Master Mu, I want to prepare a birthday gift for my mother, but no one under me can draw the lottery, on the other hand, what is the matter with you coming back to the lottery?" What's the trick? ”

His voice is like a pearl falling to the ground, pure and loud, which makes people like it unconsciously.

Mu Wenqing secretly glanced at Ye Yun, he also saw that there was a mystery in the card, he didn't know what the mystery was, he couldn't figure out what Ye Yun thought, and he was still a little hesitant for a while, not knowing how to answer.

"Back to Your Highness, we're a little lucky?" He saw that Ye Yun was silent, his eyes were indifferent, and he didn't seem to have the intention of dealing with the twelve princes, so he had to give an ambiguous answer.

"Then who did you just go up to draw lots?" The Twelfth Prince asked, if only he asked the man to help him smoke it once.

Mu Wenqing smiled bitterly, the first time was the painting screen, the second time was Mu Wenliu himself, but it was also Ye Yun's instructions, this time he could only answer truthfully, but it was a pity that he still talked, and the twelve princes immediately added: "As long as you help me draw a red lot, I will have a heavy gift!" ”

Mu Wenqing and Mu Wenliu were stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.

"What kind of gift?"

Ye Yun suddenly curled the corners of his lips at this time, with a slight imperceptible ridicule.

Mu Wenqing and Mu Wenliu looked at her in unison, a little surprised.

Ye Yun stopped the twelve princes, he was stunned, and asked, "What do you want?" ”

The Twelve Princes seem to be very arrogant and arrogant, but he is also a relatively simple teenager, he did not force them to help him with the respect of the prince, but sincerely asked them what they wanted, and Ye Yun did not hate him so much.

"Give what you want?" Ye Yun raised her chin slightly, her hands were clasped in front of her abdomen, her eyebrows were picturesque, and she smiled faintly, quite like the aura of a deep valley orchid.

For some reason, the Twelve Princes were suddenly stunned and blurted out: "You seem to be alone..."

Ye Yun's expression changed, and the Mu brothers were stunned.

As soon as the Twelfth Prince finished speaking, he immediately realized that he had lost his words, and continued: "What do you want? As long as I can give, I will give! ”

He didn't think that Ye Yun would make such a tricky and outlandish request, and the most important thing was to get the coral tree auctioned right now.

Ye Yun's expression returned to the same as before, "Okay, if I help His Highness draw a red lot, can Your Highness do me a favor?" ”

"What's the busy?" He immediately came to his senses, and the brilliance in his eyes lit up a little.

Ye Yun's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, and he said quietly, "I heard that His Royal Highness is the only prince who has a token to enter and exit the Royal Library at will, I have heard that the Royal Library has treasured a lot of classical medical books, and my ancestor studied medicine, I am very interested in medical books, I don't know, can Your Highness take me to the Library Pavilion to see one or two on a day?" ”

The Twelve Princes laughed heartily when they heard this, he knew that this little girl would not make any excessive requests, the Royal Library Pavilion was not that outsiders could not enter, but there were very few people who could enter and exit at will, and he was one of them, even his eldest brother, the crown prince, did not get this privilege, so the Twelve Princes were proud of it.

Ye Yun made this request, and he happily agreed, "Okay, no problem, as long as you help me draw a red lottery today, I will take you there!" ”

Ye Yun smiled and gave a salute and said no more.

However, the Mu brothers all bowed their hands and thanked the twelve princes. Mu Wenqing couldn't help but be a little surprised by Ye Yun's behavior, it stands to reason that she is just the daughter of the prefect of Yangzhou, and she should please the twelve princes in every possible way, I don't know that Ye Yun still dares to put forward conditions with him, and his speech and demeanor are neither humble nor arrogant, it seems that he regards the twelve princes as a very ordinary person, and this pampered and unfazed bearing really amazed him.

At this time, the steward from above spoke.

"Everyone, this time let's play bigger, this coral tree is too rare, so let's change the rules, this time, there are only two red lots, and the two who are drawn will bid on the spot, and the one with the highest price will win!"

As soon as his voice fell, there was a boiling underneath, and everyone present was either rich or expensive, and they could afford it.

As a businessman, it is natural that the more people there are, the higher the price will be raised, the more beneficial it will be for them, but one year several wealthy businessmen and powerful people fought without scruples, resulting in the destruction of the entire auction hall, heavy losses, and aroused public anger.

Rogge came up with this method in the second year, the rarer the item, the more limited the number of people in the auction to prevent chaos. In fact, the people who can participate in the auction of rare items are those who have pre-signed up and passed the review, and Rogge knows that these people are very rich, and they are not afraid of making less money, but in this way, they are elegant and interesting, attracting more people to participate, and he has also won a good reputation.

Now the Twelve Princes were even more nervous, he looked at Ye Yun with blank eyes, "Can you win?" ”

Ye Yun hooked the corners of his lips and smiled, turning his head to look at him, "Your Highness, the difficulty is getting bigger and bigger, and I must have more and more effort!" ”

She said this lazily and pinched her fingers.

The Twelve Princes' hearts are half cold, what do you mean by this?

The Mu brothers were embarrassed and stared at Ye Yun like ghosts.

She's bargaining with the Twelve Princes!

Why is she so bold!

The two of them looked at the Twelve Princes again, a little worried.

The Twelve Princes pondered for a while, only to know that Ye Yun was making a request from him.

"That's... What do you want to do? "He was a little confused by her, he had grown so big, no one had spoken to him like this,

Ye Yun winked at him, and said with the innocence of a girl: "Then Your Highness promised me that as long as I want to go to the Library Pavilion, I can come to you at any time!" ”

The Twelve Princes looked at her with a slumped face, this request was not difficult, but the dignified prince was so coerced by a little girl, it seemed to be very faceless.

He looked up at the coral tree again, and nodded heavily, "Okay, promise you!" ”

"That's okay, it's a word, it's hard to chase the horse!" Ye Yun said with a playful smile,

The crooked look of his eyebrows fell in the eyes of the twelve princes, but it made him lose his mind for a moment, and then he sneered: "I am a dignified prince, and I can still lose my trust to you little girl!" ”

"Good!" Ye Yun didn't have much expression, and he couldn't see joy.

The Twelfth Prince always felt that he was deflated in front of her, and she didn't even have the slightest sense of gratitude, after all, it was so easy for her to draw lots once, but he gave her the opportunity to enter and exit the Royal Library, what a face!

If others must be grateful, she just regarded it as a transaction.

Well, a deal indeed. The Twelve Princes wiped the sweat from the middle of the people sullenly, and they didn't prepare to enter the pavilion, so they followed Ye Yun outside to watch.

At this time, Yin Yi's eyes swept over the chattering crowd and fell on the twelve princes, and when he saw Ye Yun beside him again, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was a little unhappy.

"Alright, let's start the lottery!" The steward beckoned downward.

The old man immediately played the chess cards again, Ye Yun carefully observed his technique, secretly calculated, and when he finished, her answer also came out.

There were only two red cards in it, and then there were a few more black cards, and this time everyone was cautious and pondered for a long time before going up to draw lots in order.

Ye Yun said a word to the picture screen again, and then the picture screen ran up to draw lots.

Fifty-two people did not give up the lot, even if they were drawn, they could not afford the auction, they could give it to others, so everyone went up to draw lots one after another.

Yin Yi's sequence number was in front of the painting screen, and when Yin Yi's attendants went to draw lots, the twelfth prince Xun Chong also pinched a handful of sweat, he didn't want to face Yin Yi again, Yin Yi was a madman.

But he was really disappointed, Yin Yi's people actually drew the only red card present.

It was boiling at the bottom, which meant that there was only one red sign in it, and I don't know who was lucky enough to draw it.

Xun Chong saw Yin Yi showing off triumphantly at him with a red stick, he was so angry that smoke was rising above his head, and secretly gritted his teeth and stared at the picture screen, hoping that the little girl's girl would give him a long face.

Naturally, the painting screen did not disappoint him, she once again easily lifted a red card without the slightest ambiguity, turned around and shook it at the people below, and got off the stage triumphantly.

There was a cry of disappointment in the audience.

The two red signs were drawn, and the people behind naturally had no chance.

So everyone could only watch Yin Yi and the Twelve Princes Doufu bid for this red coral tree.

"The starting price of the red coral tree is 5,000 taels!"

"I'm 10,000!" Yin Yi said lightly,

"Fifteen thousand!" The Twelve Princes showed no weakness.

"Twenty thousand...."

"Thirty thousand!"

Listening to the sudden rise in numbers, everyone also sweated, secretly saying that the Yin family and the twelve princes were so rich?

Yin Shizi, he can raise the power of the Yin family, but what about the Twelve Princes, where did his money come from?

"Fifty thousand!" Yin Yi spoke quickly.

The Twelve Princes were stunned, "Eighty thousand!" ”

“!!!”

Everyone was stunned.

Although this red coral tree is indeed a rare treasure, 80,000 taels of silver is a huge amount beyond people's imagination.

Mu Wenqing and Mu Wenliu, who were standing next to Xun Chong, were really stunned.

Based on Ye Yun's judgment of Yin Yi, Xun Chong may have been fooled, Yin Yi was sure that he would fight for a breath and refused to lose face, so he deliberately raised the price with him, and when Xun Chong won this red coral tree with a huge amount, he might face future troubles. After all, he is a prince, and if he blatantly fights with others to get rich, he will definitely be scolded by the emperor and disliked by the courtiers.

Sure enough, after Yin Yi heard him shout 80,000, he got up and clapped his hands, and said very leisurely: "Then let it be given to His Highness Twelve," he said as he walked back, "Your Highness, why don't you think about it, is 80,000 worth it?" He threw Xun Chong a meaningful smile, glanced at Ye Yun deeply, turned his head and strode out of the crowd.

Xun Chong stood on the spot!

After he reacted, he jumped up angrily, "Yin Yi, you bastard, angry with His Highness!" ”

Obviously, he won the auction, but the words he said before leaving choked him to death, this Yin Yi is really a killer of a thousand knives, and it doesn't make people happy.

"Your Highness, eighty thousand!" Mr. Chao said tremblingly, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Hmph, 80,000 is 80,000, what's wrong? Pay 20,000 taels of silver tickets first, carry the red coral tree back, and let Rogge come to the palace to get the rest of the silver! Xun angrily pursed his mouth and commanded.

After speaking, he raised his feet and was about to leave, but he took two steps and looked back at Ye Yun, "What I said counts, you can come to the palace to find me at any time!" Then he stared at a face that he couldn't tell what color it was, and rushed away.

The departure of some dignitaries does not affect the atmosphere on the field.

There are also some valuable auction items waiting to be auctioned. With Ye Yun here, Mu Wenliu was able to get the red sign back, and later he finally took back two good items.

When it came to the second round of ordinary object auctions, there were several long shelves on the stage, and many good objects were placed on them. Everyone went up in order to choose, then quietly made their own bids, and finally revealed the winner of each item's auction.

When Mu Wenliu arrived, Mu Wenqing, Ye Yun and Mu Wenliu all came to the stage.

Ye Yun has the ability to distinguish objects, and helped Mu Wenliu take a fancy to several inconspicuous jade carvings and porcelain. Ye Yun also picked a few delicate items and wrote the price, she wanted to bring some gifts for her mother and sister to go back.

When the auction was announced, most of the Mu family's picks won the bid. Mu Wenliu happily helped Ye Yun and Mu Wenqing pay for it together. He's made it all today. Ye Yun didn't pick anything cheap, Mu Wenliu was so generous, Ye Yun didn't stop her, she did help, and she never dwelled on such trivial things.

The group rejoiced and walked back.

The street is already very lively, and the restaurants on both sides are also coming in and out, and business is booming.

Just as Ye Yun was passing by the entrance of an alley with everyone, he suddenly heard a very familiar voice.

"Did you find that mama?"

The voice was frighteningly low, as if the other party was going to kill someone if he wanted to say "no".

After Ye Yun heard this voice, his heart trembled, and the corners of his eyes moistened suddenly.
