Chapter 100: Just add one or two.
Xiao Yanxue smiled and said, "The first treasure, which is here now, is a piece of ice sandalwood that is one zhang long and can be hugged twice. As we all know, this ice spirit sandalwood grows on the top of the snow-capped mountains in the far north, and it takes several years to grow a small section, only a small piece of ice spirit sandalwood is placed in the room, and it can be wrapped in cool and pleasant times in the hot summer season, if a little ice spirit sandalwood is added to the wood, and it is made into a vessel, and the things placed in it can be kept from rotting for a hundred years! In addition, as long as there is a bamboo tube-like size piece on the body, the smell emitted can also avoid the poisonous insects in the world! It is said that it is a treasure in the world, and it is not an exaggeration to believe it!
"May I ask how much silver is the starting price of this treasure?" one person asked anxiously, and everyone looked at it together, but it was Nangong Tianhu of the Nangong family.
"It turned out to be the second master of Nangong. Xiao Yanxue smiled and said, "Ice spirit sandalwood, the starting price is 200,000 taels of silver." ”
Nangong Tianhu said loudly: "Ice spirit sandalwood, our Nangong family wants it, and we will give out 400,000 taels!" Everyone knows that Nangong Le, the second son of the Nangong family, died tragically, and his body is still in the enemy's family, and he can't return to his hometown because the weather is getting hotter, even if there are good spices and the best means of preservation, the body can't be preserved for a long time. If you have this piece of ice sandalwood, you only need to put a few small pieces in the coffin, and Nangong Le's body can return to his hometown safely and be buried in the ground. It was to see Nangong Tianhu's bid, and the other insiders did not compete again. And some uninformed businessmen saw that Nangong Tianhu had doubled the price of the first bid, and they all saw his determination to win, and besides, this ice spirit sandalwood was indeed not worth so much silver, so they let it go.
After Xiao Yanxue asked three times, the golden timpani fell and the deal was sold.
Nangong Tianhu was about to take out the silver ticket to settle, but he heard Xiao Yanxue say with a smile: "Second Master Nangong is slow. I couldn't help but look up in astonishment.
Xiao Yanxue said: "Nangong Gongzi is young and talented, handsome among the people, but the sky is jealous of the talent, the middle way starfalls, the world is sad, the Xiao family also feels, since this thing has been photographed by the Nangong family, then, the little woman has the courage to make the decision, the Nangong family is exempt from the silver ticket of this thing, and the right should be a little bit of our Xiao family's heart." Second Master Nangong must not be polite. ”
Nangong Tianhu couldn't help but be stunned, he was a person with a straight surname, and a sense of gratitude rose in his heart. The Xiao family could have directly given the ice spirit sandalwood to the Nangong family without going through the auction, but in that case, some people would inevitably say that the Xiao family was talking nonsense about the Nangong family or the Nangong family that they couldn't afford to buy without silver, and the Nangong family couldn't accept such a big favor for no reason. But now after Nangong Tianhu auctioned this thing, Xiao Yanxue said this sentence again, and the meaning was completely different. The Nangong family has already shown its financial resources, and even if the Xiao family gives it away for nothing, no one will say anything anymore.
The audience was thunderous, and everyone felt that Xiao Yanxue's move was very clever, not only taking care of the face of the Nangong family, but also making them owe a lot of favors! And it did not damage her own worth at all, and she showed the demeanor of the world's No. 1 chaebol.
Thankfully, Nangong Tianhu was no longer polite, picked up the ice spirit sandalwood and walked off the stage, and immediately sent someone back to the courtyard under the Nangong family.
Xiao Yanxue watched Nangong Tianhu walk off the stage, and did her best to be polite. Only then did he turn around, smile with a smile, and said, "The second treasure in this auction is also the second treasure found by those four pharmacists in the Extreme North Snow Mountain. It is a thousand-year-old warm jade, this jade has a kind of mystery, ordinary people only need to wear it on the body, that is, the cold winter wax moon only wears a single clothes, that is also not afraid of the cold, warm as spring. If the person who practices martial arts obtains it, he can also collect the power of calming the heart and calming the spirit, and it has excellent benefits for the cultivation of internal force, and the starting price of this warm jade is 500,000 taels of silver. ”
Ling Ling, who was sitting beside Ling Tian, heard the words "Thousand Years of Warm Jade", and his body stiffened, and a pair of jade hands couldn't help but clench his fists. She had heard Ling Tian say that for her who cultivated the Cold Ice Divine Skill, this thousand-year-old warm jade would be of great help to her cultivation. Although she knew that Ling Tian would hand this piece of jade to her hand no matter what, she was still a little apprehensive in her heart.
In addition to Ling Tian, the eyes of the other two people also lit up at the same time. One was Qian Shuirou, who Ling Tian had been secretly paying attention to, but the second person was much beyond Ling Tian's expectations, it turned out to be Dongfang Thunder.
The Oriental Family's Proud Hidden Dragon Classic, as far as Ling Tian knew, was an extremely miraculous technique for cultivating in the world, far exceeding the ordinary internal force heart method, and the speed of entering the realm was also extremely amazing, Dongfang Thunder shouldn't need this warm jade, why did he actually show such eagerness?
A voice shouted, "Six hundred thousand taels!" Ling Tian listened to the voice very familiarly, and when he turned his head, it turned out to be Yang Wei, the eldest young master of the Yang family. This treasure dared to run out at this time. In this case, it would be too embarrassing not to have fun.
Ling Tian lazily raised the sign and said weakly: "Six hundred thousand and one tael." Ling Chen burst out laughing.
The crowd was in an uproar.
Qian Shuirou and Dongfang Jinglei were about to raise a sign to bid, and when they heard Ling Tian's price, their faces changed. The hand that was about to raise fell again.
Xiao Yanxue just said the reserve price just now, but did not say how much the lowest price increase is each time, originally as a well-known family and a famous family in the world, no one would be so mischievous, but Ling Tian just shouted like this, but he did not violate any auction rules, if in the end, it can only be said that Xiao Yanxue did not add a limit on the price increase just now, as Ling Tian did, he only had one or two more silver than the Yang family each time. Just this one or two pieces of silver, but everyone present is extremely uncomfortable!
Qian Shuirou and Dongfang Thunder knew at a glance that this was the Ling family and the Yang family parting again, and the two families couldn't help but feel a little dilemma. It is clearly a dispute between the two families of Ling and Yang, if they get involved, how will they deal with themselves, but the "Millennium Warm Jade" is an indispensable thing for him, and he will not be able to give up. But if he shouts out the price, Ling Tian will only add one or two to the same place, so where will he put his face? If he chooses to give up, he will not be able to get over it without saying that he is in his heart, especially if he is overwhelmed by one or two pieces of silver, won't it become a big joke? But if he chooses to fight to the end in one breath, after all, he lives in Chengtian, where can he be sure that he can fight the Ling family, a local snake who is at the top of his edge and has great wealth? With the vicious methods of the Ling Grand Prince, it is really terrifying, taking 10,000 steps back, with the financial resources of the Ling family, this guy has raised the price step by step to a height that he can't bear, and then he suddenly let go, and he shouted the price but couldn't get the silver, wouldn't it become a laughing stock for the ages? If that's the case, I'm afraid that it may not be much stronger than Ximen Qing!
Moreover, with Ling Tian's surname, he could even do something like the Ximen family, so what was the big deal if he did it again? But if Ling Tian could hold on, he would definitely not be able to follow him crazy.
Qian Shuirou suddenly felt that she was a little jealous of this Ling Tian. In her feelings, this is the first time in her life that she is afraid of a person.
Yang Dawei was furious, a pair of triangular eyes glared at Ling Tian fiercely, almost spewing fire, gritting his teeth and saying, "I'll give one million taels!" He was just happy to see the hunt, but in fact, he didn't know the true effect of this warm jade, he just wanted to buy it back and have a better winter. How do you know, but Ling Tian was so squeezed that he couldn't get off the stage suddenly.
Ling Tian gently took a sip of water from the teacup that Ling Chen was holding in his hand, shook the folding fan with a brush, and said with a smile: "One million and one tael." ”
Some people suddenly hissed and laughed, Yang Wei's face turned pale, and said, "Is Ling Gongzi so stingy? Only adding one or two taels of silver each time will inevitably insult the reputation of the first family of Chengtian." ”
Ling Tian laughed and said, "Even if it insults the reputation of the Ling family, it is still a tael more than the Yang family." Isn't it a lot of silver to have an extra tael of silver? This son still has a lot of money, and originally only wanted to give an extra penny or a penny of silver, but if the Yang family is overwhelmed by a penny and a penny of silver, that business is really done. ”
Yang Wei snorted angrily, bid again, and shouted, "I'll pay two million taels!" Behind him, his father Yang Lei hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth, but it was already a step too late. Thin beads of sweat were already oozing from Yang Lei's head: My little ancestor, the Yang family is in an eventful time, and now Ling Tian, where is the character that our Yang family can provoke? The Ximen family, which has been inherited for hundreds of years, has been made into that virtue by him, do you still want to desperately hit the knife edge? You don't know what the purpose of this piece of jade is, so you are angry and spend millions of taels of silver to buy it home, in case Ling Tian finds trouble with the Yang family because of this matter, then it is not necessary to hand it over obediently? The matter is undecided, what are you provoking him for? Even if he doesn't come to the door, can your grandfather be willing to let you spend a few million taels to buy a piece of jade?!
Ling Tian smiled and said, "Two million and one dollars of silver." Yang Wei was so angry that his face turned into the color of pig's blood, and he was about to raise his arms and shout, but he was slapped in the face; Yang Lei stood up and looked angry: "What a stubborn rebel! Have you made enough trouble? What is this? How can you speak? Millions of taels of silver to buy a piece of jade, such a ruined act, you really did it!"
Yang Lei taught his son a hard lesson, but he also justifiably withdrew from the competition of Nuanyu. This made Ling Tian feel depressed, especially Yang Lei's words, although he was talking about Yang Wei, he was not hesitant to say that Ling Tian was a loser!
Since Ling Tian saw the appearance of the warm jade, Qian Shuirou and Dongfang Thunder were both eager to move, and they had already estimated that this piece of warm jade would definitely cause fierce competition. But Ling Tian really didn't want to spend too much silver, wouldn't that be a disguised support for the Xiao family's military affairs? Just seeing Yang Wei jump out, Ling Tian thought of using Yang Wei's straw bale temper to provoke himself fiercely, completely arousing his anger, and simply raising the price to the sky, scaring Qian Shui and Dongfang Thunder. In the end, let Yang Wei buy it, and then grab it back by himself.
