Chapter 31: The Night Banquet (4)
Haitang stood sideways, deliberately facing away from the county lord, just not wanting to give the county lord a chance to signal, if the county lord spoke out to stop it, it would inevitably make the guests present feel unfair. Yan Shiyi can eat and enjoy singing and dancing with them, but can't donate materials and funds to build Fuchun Garden like them?
Begonia's tone was full of smiles, but his eyes were full of hatred. She wants to see Yan Shiyi make a fool, a penniless peasant girl, what to bid with the nobles.
Yan Shiyi didn't expect Begonia to come to such a show. Fortunately, she has the lotus branches and golden hairpins given by the county lord, and she can make the best use of them if she donates them.
The moment she pulled off the golden hairpin, she suddenly understood that donating materials is not the goal, and the auction is the finale. Imagine what she donated as a peasant girl, who would want to bid for it! There's no way she's going to bid for it herself. At that time, it was not only her who would be embarrassed, but also the county lord......
Raising her eyelashes, she looked at the lotus branch golden hairpin and said slowly:
"I am a peasant girl, I have no long things, only the county lord rewarded me with this golden hairpin, and I love it as if I was my life. Now I donate the golden hairpin to support the county lord to expand the Fuchun Garden. ”
Yan Shiyi gently put the lotus branch golden hairpin into the tray.
"There will be better hosts who cherish your ......"
When she raised her eyes again, there were tears in her eyes that could not be parted, as if she was muttering to herself, but she could hear every word.
"Not yet?"
Zhao Changye glared at Begonia. I didn't blame Begonia for making her own opinions, but I would feel that the big girl was troublesome.
Haitang didn't dare to look back at the county lord, and went to the lady of the university scholar with a tray hanging his head, and it was difficult to show a smile on his face.
She thought that Yan Shiyi had achieved her goal by obediently donating the golden hairpin, but she didn't expect Yan Shiyi to say those words without being humble or arrogant, and it made the county lord feel guilty. Yan Shiyi regarded it as a golden hairpin like a baby's life, but the county lord felt unlucky and took the opportunity to reward people and win people's hearts. What's more, it's still a gilded hairpin, which is not worth much.
There are more and more things on the tray, and the laughter is getting more and more harmonious. I know in my heart that after a while, everyone will have to bid for the items they donate, and then others will bid for the auction. The result is not important, the important thing is that the process should fully consider the identity of each person, but also weigh their own strength.
For example, the lady of the university scholar, although she is a second-class order, in front of the sister of the prince of Jiangxia, she will also know that she is a little shorter, and she can't overpower the other party.
As for Mrs. Hou of Dongyang, she had expected that her asking price would be the real price, who would dare to compete with her!
Xiao Qian watched his small rattan box being placed on the edge of the long table in the main hall, and thought that he would have to keep an eye on the little virtuous king for a while. The two of them have already discussed, Xiao Qian asked for one or two silver, to see how others reacted, and finally Xiao Xianwang won the rattan box at the most suitable high price.
Mother Xu changed into a festive jujube red dress, with a gold silk embroidered belt tied around her waist, and her tightened waist looked very slim. Standing in the middle of peonies and begonias, the momentum is not lost to the master.
"Start shooting the first donation, the jade jasper bracelet."
She held a wooden hammer tied with red silk in her hand and held it above her shoulder. Begonia held the jade bracelet around the field, and every place it passed, it attracted a lot of admiration.
They all know that it is the bracelet of Mrs. Hou of Dongyang, and they don't boast about waiting for the waiter at this time.
Mrs. Hou of Dongyang had a calm face, and her eyes were looking at the little grandson opposite.
In front of her grandmother, Jing Can has always been tame and elegant. He sat at the seat of the county lord's horse, and tasted the tea and fruit after the meal without squinting. When he heard about the bidding for the jade bracelet, he looked up at his grandmother. Seeing his grandmother nodding, he chuckled and continued to turn the teacup in his hand.
