Volume 1 Old Dreams Chapter 21 On the Cultivation of Genius
"This two-color tourmaline is the unique material of Ximo, and the two-color tourmaline bracelet is the work of Mr. Mo, the top carving of Mr. Mo, red and yellow blend, such as the young phoenix bathing in the fire lifelike, the starting price is five hundred taels of silver, each time the price is increased by fifty taels, there is no upper limit, everyone please start."
A skinny little guy in beige satin on the stage was shouting loudly, this was the auctioneer that Tao Yao had picked.
I remember when I first saw him, he was sneaking around in front of the bun shop, Tao Yaoyao saw that he was clever and couldn't bear this person to fall like this, so he immediately stopped him, and after a long time of inquiry, he learned that he also had a younger brother who had a fever and no money to see the disease, and he hadn't eaten for a few days, and he was forced to be helpless to almost become this thief.
Tao Yaoyao didn't say a word, so he asked the shopkeeper Wang to take the brothers to Linglong Pavilion, and saw the small one in person, but fortunately it was just an ordinary wind and cold, and it was almost fine after half a month of recuperation. Tao Yaoyao also named them respectively - Dane and Dade.
The two brothers are really grateful to Dade, and they are extraordinarily diligent after staying in Linglong Pavilion to do things, and Tao Yao saw that this big cleverness made him try to be an auctioneer, but he didn't expect it to be like a fish in water, and he did it very well. Although there are not many small words, but he is calm, let him follow the back of the shopkeeper Wang, learn more, watch more, and help a little.
It's just that Tao Yao didn't know that her freewheeling kindness that day would let her escape death in the future. The things in this world are really inexplicable, but the good has a good end and the evil has an evil result is extremely clear.
"Six hundred taels!"
"Eight hundred taels!"
"One thousand taels!"
"Fifteen hundred taels!"
"One thousand seven hundred taels!"
"One thousand seven hundred taels of silver, everyone, this is a rare red jade coral earring, it is unique to give it away for personal use, and if you miss it, there will be no more!" This Dane sighed with regret on his face.
"Three thousand taels, I want it!" The voice came from the far corner of the room.
"Three thousand taels, and there is no increase in the price of distinguished customers. Three thousand taels one time...... Three thousand two two...... Three thousand taels, deal! Congratulations to the distinguished guests of this flower garden for obtaining the unparalleled red jade coral pendant in this world. Dane happily praised that the price of the pendant was already quite a good result, and he could also pay a lot of money.
"Okay, everyone, the next thing we shoot is the last one, which is also our Linglong Pavilion self-made - Seven Tricks and Seven Heart Bracelets, this bracelet is inlaid with seven kinds of precious gemstones, but this outer ring has a layer of gold hollow peach blossom carving, wrapped with a unique process, so that this inner bracelet can be rotated at will, like seven hearts, is a peerless work. As long as my self-made jewelry is engraved with the mark of this Linglong Pavilion, and this is the first piece of mark, not to mention its own preciousness and collection. It is still 500 taels, and the price will be increased by 50 taels each time, with no upper limit. Everyone, please! ”
"Five hundred taels!"
"One thousand taels!"
"Two thousand taels!"
"Two thousand one hundred taels!" ……
Tao Yaoyao looked at this fierce scene, and was overjoyed, the idea of this bracelet itself was because she worked in a jewelry store during the summer vacation, and there was a similar work in the window of the boy, and Tao Xiaoyao liked it very much at that time, but she and Jiang Yu didn't have so much money, so they could only watch it from afar. Unexpectedly, she took this opportunity to draw this rough pattern, and this ancient craftsman's craftsmanship is really not covered, and it was made in twenty days, but Jiang Yu thought of it......
"Ten thousand taels!"
In an instant, this Linglong Pavilion was silent, although this Seven Tricks and Seven Heart Bracelet was extremely exquisite, but this gem was not the only one after all, and this ten thousand taels was indeed high.
This Dane smiled even brighter, "Ten thousand taels, everyone, there is no price increase-okay, ten thousand taels, deal!" ”
Tao Xiaoyao also woke up from her trance, but she didn't expect that her casual thoughts would sell for 10,000 taels, not bad, thinking that her face was no longer so deep. Just looking at the room where the voice came from—the sky, huh? What the hell is this page, first entered the level of this jadeite, and bought this bracelet at a high price, is it possible that his money fell from the sky, but I want to come to this page It is also the owner of the wealth, who knows how many people have been pitted in his big gambling house, although he thinks so, he has not shown it.
When the auction was over and everyone was almost gone, Tao Xiaoxiao pushed open the door of the sky.
"I said, Brother Page, you're amazing! It's only been a few days and I've spent so much money in my Linglong Pavilion, I don't know how to repay you, hahaha-"
When Ye Qi heard this, he was obviously panicked, and said: "Tao Gongzi is really joking, Tao Gongzi's method has made me a lot of money, and I am just repaying the favor." Obviously, you didn't think so, and what you were thinking about at that moment was "Otherwise, you can make a promise-".
I see, it looks like he's a good guy on this page, haha. Tao Yaoyao thought happily.
You are so idiotic, you don't even know if someone sells you!
"Childe! Son! Xiaoshan hurriedly ran towards Tao Yaoyao.
"The opening of the new store of Tao Gongzi must be entangled in all kinds of things, and it is inconvenient for the page to disturb more, and someone will send the division of Jinshifang at the end of this month. Farewell-" Page Qi glanced at Xiao Shan, then raised his hand and left.
"Xiaoshan, what are you doing in a panic? Did you lose money? Tao Yaoyao rolled her eyes, she hadn't yet inquired about the origin of this page.
"Miss, Biyu is looking for someone to send a message to ask Miss to hurry back to the house. The sooner the better! Xiaoshan hurriedly explained.
"Not good! There must be some trouble, go! Tao Yaoyao looked stunned and immediately went downstairs.
"Peach Boy, you are-" Shopkeeper Wang sorted out the accounts, and suddenly saw Tao Yaoyao's hurried expression and asked.
"Lao Wang, things in this shop have also stabilized, according to the style I gave you the manuscript, I may not have time to come over recently, at the end of each month, Jinshifang will send pen and silver, you help me collect it." Tao Yaoyao said solemnly, then thought for a while and then said, "If there is an emergency, let Dade go to Taofu to find a girl named Biyu." Alright, I'll go first. After Tao Xiaoyao finished speaking, he went out without raising his head.
"Tao Mansion? Isn't it-" The shopkeeper Wang exclaimed suddenly, no wonder this son has an extraordinary temperament, he originally guessed that he was everyone's son, but he didn't expect it to be a person from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and this son trusts us so much, it's really-the shopkeeper Wang thought about it and thought, and felt more and more that this son was not simple, and he should do his best to be so trusted.
"Miss, do you think the master found out?" Xiaoshan asked in a panic.
"Xiaoshan, don't scare yourself. If my father found out, he wouldn't have asked Biyu to find someone to spread the word, and he would have sent someone to kill him, okay? Tao Xiaoyao said as she hurried.
"So, what could that be?" Xiaoshan asked puzzled.
"I guess it's not a good thing......" Tao Yaoyao didn't pay attention to it, so she could only go back and watch it first.
After a while, the master and servant arrived at the back door of Taofu. As soon as I arrived at the door, a crack opened in the door, and a small head emerged from the crack, who else could this girl be Biyun?
"Miss, you're back, quick, let's go back to the yard." Biyun saw the two people at the door, and hurriedly let them in and said.
"What's wrong, Biyun, where is Jasper?" Tao Yaoyao asked.
"Miss, the eldest lady is here, Jasper is in the yard, saying that the young lady went to the toilet, and it is estimated that she will not be able to stand it after a while."
"Auntie? Why did she come over this night? Tao asked as she walked.
"Miss, Biyu listened to the girls in the study today, saying that the adults came back from the palace today, and asked Miss to go to the palace tomorrow, Biyu felt that someone would definitely come to spread the word, so she quickly sent a familiar dealer to pick up the words, let me wait, I didn't expect the eldest lady to come soon." Biyun hurriedly explained, while taking Tao Yaoyao into a hut to change clothes, and then arrived at the yard.
"Auntie, what's the important thing about coming to the child so late?" Tao Yaoyao changed her appearance, Xiaoshan and Biyu followed respectfully, and asked with a smile.
"Yao'er, you are going to enter the palace tomorrow, and my mother has to visit at night to talk to you." The woman was not suspicious, and said kindly.
"Enter the palace tomorrow?" Why so suddenly?
"Yes, it may be that there is something going on in the imperial court, so there is no big deal about this draft, the emperor means that it is too early. You can take this silver first, after all, there is some silver that is easy to do when you enter the palace. The eldest lady explained to Tao Yaoyao, took out some silver tickets from her sleeve and handed them to Tao Yaoyao.
"This is also what your father meant, your mother has been gone since you were a child, and my eldest mother didn't take good care of you, so you still lost your memory......" The eldest lady became sad as she spoke, and wiped her tears with her sleeves.
"Auntie, don't say that-" It seems that this aunt cares about herself, and the girls also say the same, saying that she is good to Tao Yao'er. But why do you think it's weird?
"Eh, it's only your mother's misery that has affected your poor child. Don't worry, Weiniang has written to Concubine Ying, asking her to take better care of you in the palace. The eldest lady interrupted Tao Yaoyao's words and continued.
"Auntie bothered, thank you. It's just that the child may not necessarily stay in the palace, so it's such a troublesome mother-"
"Why do you see Xiao'er like this, after all, it's your sister. Besides, if the child is so beautiful, how can he not stay in the palace? The more Tao Xiaoyao listened to this, the more strange she felt, could it be that this eldest lady really didn't know what her daughter had done?
Tao Yaoyao can't be sure, so she can only be polite. The eldest lady was also a little surprised, it seemed that Tao Yao'er had become a little different, the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the eldest lady left with the maids.
It's really a wave of unsettled waves, but what kind of wind and waves have been thrown into this world.
