Chapter VII: Group Competition

Nie Renxi noticed Yin Luo's gaze, and looked at the south room where they were, and what caught his eye was a girl in a red dress, she was born very well, with curved eyebrows, phoenix eyes, a pretty nose and red lips, black hair and fair complexion, and the golden flower and red dress were worn on her, and she was brightly lined up. But when she looked at Nie Renxi, her eyes narrowed slightly, and there was calculation and scrutiny overflowing from it, even if the raised eyebrows were intentionally closed, it was not difficult to see that she was a sharp and lazy person...... That kind of laziness is the same as that on Chi Ye's body.

The young man next to her was dressed in a moon-white robe, and his hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, Nie Renxi was stunned when he looked at his wide sleeves, Nie Renxi had been in Beijing for so long, and it was the first time he had seen this style of sleeves, his sleeves were very wide, and the cuffs were embroidered with Ruyi silver lines, even if they were far away, Nie Renxi could see that there was a surging floating light on the Ruyi silver lines, this is not the sleeve that should be in the usual clothes, Nie Renxi frowned, but he has also seen the official uniform in Beijing, and it is not the case.

The appearance of young men and girls, if it looks like it is really similar to the girl in red at first glance, but if you look closely, you can see that his eyebrows and eyes are slightly flat, far less flamboyant than the girl in red, he was born with a pair of watery eyes, the bridge of his nose is like an ice carving, the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, and he looks gentle without smiling.

Nie Renxi hooked his lips, this is the Yin family sister and brother? I heard that the eight carriages of the Yin family entering Beijing were all wooden boxes, and the wooden boxes were full of antique gold and silver, and I don't know if the auction that started soon would be higher because of their arrival?

The merchant of Nie Ren's rhino bones was in his veins, he raised his hand to collect the folding fan, patted a piece of rosewood on the table, and the venue fell silent in an instant.

He smiled lightly and looked around at everyone, "Today, I heard that Xianlou will launch three lots, or according to the rules of the past, the one with the highest price will get it." ”

Nie Renxi beckoned, and a small servant walked up to the round table with a thing covered by a white Luo Pa, and put it on the table, he gently lifted Luo Pa, smiled at everyone, and then lifted the tray and displayed it in the field, "The first piece, Tanglin Yulian." The starting price is three hundred taels of silver. ”

On the tray is a piece of blooming lotus flower carved from aventurine jade, which is thick and transparent from a distance, and the color is excellent.

Someone in the octagonal seat immediately made a bid, "Three hundred and fifty taels!" ”

Xiao Er also immediately followed the offer: "Shangjing Wu Shangshu Mansion, bid three hundred and fifty taelsβ€”β€”"

"Four hundred taels!"

"The third room in the north, the Ji family of the Flower God Pavilion in Shangjing, bid four hundred taels-"

"Four hundred and fifty taels!"

"East Second Room, Shangjing Zhou Military Mansion, bid four hundred and fifty taels-"

"Five hundred taels!"

"Baizhou Wei family, bid five hundred taels-"

"Five hundred and fifty taels!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The quotations in the hall came and went, and Yu Ruyi in the south room raised his forehead and looked at Yin Luo, "Do you want it?" Aventurine jade, lotus. ”

Yin Luo was not interested, "My name is Yin Helan, not Yin Lianlan." ”

Yu Ruyi nodded, but suddenly quoted, "Eight hundred taels-"

Xiao Er immediately shouted: "South room, Shangjing Yin Mansion, bid eight hundred taelsβ€”β€”"

Yin Luo frowned and looked at Yu Ruyi, "Are you a fool?" Just now, people have only come out to 600 taels, and others have raised the price of 50 taels, and you have raised 200 taels? She paused, very incomprehensible, "And with this kind of aventurine jade, don't you have a mountain of wealth?" What do you do with this? ”

Yu Ruyi smiled maliciously, "I just asked you, since you said no, I naturally didn't plan to ask for it, but I'm here, I always have to have fun, so I should help listen to the idle building raise a price." ”

There was silence on the field for a moment, and the people in the third room in the north quoted the price again: "Nine hundred taels!" ”

"North Third Room, Shangjing Flower God Pavilion Ji Family, bid nine hundred taels-"

Yu Ruyi exhaled, "One thousand taelsβ€”"

"South room, Shangjing Yin Mansion, bid a thousand taels-"

Someone from the octagonal seat in the hall was already looking at them, and the discussion became louder and louder, "This is the Yin Mansion who just arrived in Shangjing three days ago?" ”

"That's a lot of money......"

"That's it, this piece of aventurine jade was actually bid for a thousand taels!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Yu Ruyi changed the teacup and continued to drink tea, but she didn't hear these words.

At this time, the third room in the north made another bid: "One thousand two hundred taels!" ”

Xiao Er was excited to quote, and his voice trembled a little, "North Third Room, Shangjing Flower God Pavilion Ji Family, bid 1,200 taels-"

The protagonist of the discussion became the Ji family again, "What is the Ji family of the Flower God Pavilion going to do?" ”

"Yes, although the Ji family is a well-known wealthy businessman in Shangjing, it won't cost so much to buy a piece of jade, right?"

"Maybe the Ji family is not steaming steamed buns to fight for breath?"

Yin Luo bent his eyebrows when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with interest: "Why don't I know, when did the Ji family provoke the sixth prince this time, and you are so forceful?" ”

Yu Ruyi snorted coldly, "It was the Flower God Pavilion that provoked me, last winter, I finally found a batch of pearls from the East China Sea, and planned to buy them to make hairpin decorations for the Jade Hairpin Pavilion, who knew that they were cut off by this Flower God Pavilion, and they wanted to grind this batch of pearls into fat powder!" I paid a deposit for the shop in the East China Sea in vain, which is three hundred taels! Yu Ruyi took a sip of tea and moistened Runyin's throat that was dry due to anger, and smiled at Yin Luo, "If I have a chance today, I will block them!" Sister didn't know that there were thirty-six counters in this Flower God Pavilion, named after flowers, and I heard that the end of the month was the birthday of the lotus shopkeeper. I guess that it is the juniors of the Ji family who came to the auction today, and they have made up their minds to bring this aventurine jade lotus back to the lotus shopkeeper as a birthday gift. ”

Yu Ruyi's eyes narrowed slightly, "If this lotus shopkeeper knows, they spent 1,200 taels of silver to shoot this aventurine jade, and they still have the heart to celebrate their birthdays......"

Yin Luo pouted, if compared to Yin Damage and stinginess, there is really no one she knows who can compare to Yu Ruyi......

Nie Renxi on the round platform looked at the two of them with a smile in his eyes. It seems that what he just thought was not wrong, this Yin family sister and brother really raised this piece of aventurine jade beyond the original market price......

After a long silence in the auction hall, Nie Renxi smiled decently and picked up the rosewood and patted the table, "The first lot was auctioned by the Ji family of Huashen Pavilion, and the auction price was 1,200 taels of silver. ”

Xiao Er quickly brought the second lot, and Nie Renxi opened Luo Pa and introduced it to everyone: "The second lot, melted blood silver cup." The starting price is five hundred taels of silver. ”

It was a six-sided medicine jar made of sterling silver, with some bright red dark lines on it, faintly surging in the light.

"Melting Blood?! Listening to Xianlou?! ”

"Is it the medicine cup that can heal wounds and remove poison?"

"Of course! Melting blood silver cup, there is only one in the world! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

And Yin Luo stood up when he saw the Melting Blood Silver Cup, and Yu Ruyi also frowned and looked at the stage, and asked softly: "This is the Melting Blood Silver Cup that the second brother has been looking for?" ”

Yin Luo bowed his head, looked at Yu Ruyi, changed his usual frivolous prowess, and his expression was a little solemn, "How much silver do you have in Shangjing?" ”

Yu Ruyi pursed her lips in embarrassment, "I don't have any silver." He blinked, "Sister, you know me, my silver, except for making clothes, is ...... Replaced with gold. ”

Yin Luo smiled lightly, but the smile was perfunctory, she raised her chin, "Take it for the second brother." ”

Yu Ruyi nodded, "Okay sister," and then quoted the price, "I'll give a hundred taels of gold!" ”

Yin Luo frowned when he heard this, but he didn't say anything after all.

Xiao Er quoted excitedly again: "South room, Shangjing Yin Mansion, bid one hundred taels of goldβ€”β€”"

In an instant, the people in the hall looked this way again, "How much did he say?" A hundred taels? Gold?! ”

"That's a direct double!"

"What is the origin of this Yin family? A hundred taels of gold will come out when you say it? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"You're probably out too much." Yin Luo's tone was neither salty nor light.

Yu Ruyi disagreed, "Maybe someone has more than me." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a crisp female voice in the south second room to the west of the south first room, "One hundred and twenty taels of gold!" ”

Xiao Er was even more excited: "South Second Room, Cuizhou Min Family, bid one hundred and twenty taels of goldβ€”β€”"

Yin Luo frowned slightly when she heard this, she looked at Yu Ruyi, and Yu Ruyi also looked at her, and when the two looked at each other, they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

Yu Ruyi continued to increase the price, "One hundred and fifty taels of gold!" ”

The hands in Xiao Er's sleeves trembled: "South 1st room, Shangjing Yin Mansion, bid one hundred and fifty taels of goldβ€”β€”"

The people in the second room in the south still didn't give up, "Two hundred taels of gold!" ”

Xiao Er's voice was already unstable: "South Second Room, Cuizhou Min Family, bid two hundred taels of goldβ€”β€”"

"This Cuizhou Min family is so rich?"

"I don't know, the Min family lives in a simple place, and they don't have much reputation in Cuizhou......"

"No matter what, don't forget, the Min family is a royal family, and they are serious!"

"That's right, today's second princess and fifth prince, isn't the mother family the Min family in Cuizhou?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

When Yin Luo heard this, he thought of the girl in the goose yellow dress that he had just seen in the Huixian Hall today. If she guessed correctly, the one in the second room in the south should be the current second princess of Daliang Mingfang, not the children of the Min family.

Yu Ruyi also opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to do for a while, he looked at Yin Luo hesitantly, "Sister, do I increase the price or not?" ”

Yin Luo narrowed his eyes and said, "I'll come." ”

She looked at Xiao Er who quoted on the stage, "Two hundred and twenty taels of gold!" ”

"The first room in the south, Shangjing Yin Mansion, bid two hundred and twenty taels of goldβ€”β€”"

A voice immediately came from the second room in the south, "Two hundred and forty taels of gold!" ”

"South Second Room, Cuizhou Min Family, bid two hundred and forty taels of goldβ€”β€”"

Nie Renxi looked at the south room, and he could see that the girl in red frowned slightly, as if she really wanted to take a picture of this blood-melting silver cup. He looked at the second room in the south again, and the girl in the goose yellow dress had already stood up, tilted her head slightly, and looked very serious......

Somehow, Nie Renxi on the round platform actually felt a little dilemma? So he stopped looking at the two rooms, but began to bow his head and fiddle with the fan in his hand.

The people in the hall were still talking about the second auction that seemed to be for the first and second rooms in the south, and the price they were calling was getting higher and higher, high enough to buy a fine house in Shangjing......
