Chapter 15: [Miss Luo's Request]
Lin Tao nodded, then sat down and tasted the tea that the servant had just delivered. The tea in Izumo is completely different from Kyushu, and if you had to qualify it, it should actually be called milk tea, which is brewed after boiling it with fresh milk/water.
After tasting it carefully, Lin Tao felt that the taste was good, and a mixture of milk and tea lingered on the tip of his mouth and taste buds for a long time, and did not disperse.
But after a while, Kane came back, and smiled awkwardly at Lin Tao with an apologetic face: "I'm sorry, Master Xuanying, this ...... Our lady would like to ask you to come over and she will hand over the money to you herself. ”
Lin Tao saw that there was a little coercion in the other party's behavior, if he didn't go, he was afraid that the money would not be so easy for him. I have already made it very clear that I will not refine the beauty pill for the time being, and Luo Ken Auction House is still doing this, it seems that it is all the mysterious lady behind the scenes.
Before, Lin Tao had more or less heard of Luo Yashan, the head of the Luo Ken Auction House, who is said to be the fourth daughter of Luo Bufan, the head of the contemporary Luo family. But if you are confused by her excellent appearance, it will be a big mistake, Luo Yashan is also very good in business, quite like her father's style, it is precisely because of this that Luo Bufan is relieved to hand over such a large auction house to Luo Yashan. You know, if you want to make money, Roken Auction House can't actually make a lot of money, after all, if you just make a profit by taking a profit, there are always some limitations. In the end, the Luo Ken Auction House is an important way for the Luo family to make friends with various characters and characters. There are not only businessmen, powerful fighters, and nobles of the empire who often pass here, but also the so-called three religions and nine streams, basically all of which have contact with Roken Auction.
It is precisely with such an advantage that the Luo family can spread their relationship network so large, and can continue to develop at an astonishing speed in the past 30 years.
Annoyed is annoyed, Lin Tao still has a reputation for self-knowledge, and it is obviously not a wise move to fight against a behemoth like the Luo family, not to mention that their money is still in their hands. It's not a bad thing to go and see him, so he cleaned up at the moment, stood up, and said in a deep voice: "In that case, then ask Mr. Kane to lead the way." It is also my blessing to be able to meet Miss Luo Yashan, who is rumored to be a first-class talent. Hehe. ”
Unable to see the other party's face, Kane couldn't guess the other party's mood, he could only judge slightly from Lin Tao's words, he thought that Lin Tao would be very annoyed, but he didn't expect it to be slightly surprised, but it made him breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Speaking of our young lady, it is absolutely possible but worthy of your evaluation of Xuanying Gongzi, to be honest, the old man has never seen a better woman than our young lady, but I don't know if the rumored Princess Magnolia is also so good." ”
"Princess Magnolia! When the old man watched the military parade in the imperial capital the year before last, he was fortunate enough to take a look at it from a distance. It was really gorgeous, suffocating, and worthy of being the most beautiful woman in our Slang Empire. Talking about Princess Magnolia, Edward, who had not spoken for a long time, said with some excitement, his eyes full of yearning. Lin Tao was very curious that Princess Magnolia had such a great charm that she could make old Edward love and admire.
Walking through the long corridor, Lin Tao followed Kane to a small two-story building behind the main hall.
When he came to the building, the surrounding environment couldn't help but make Lin Tao feel refreshed. The decoration of the room in front of me can be described as unique, noble but not luxurious, it can be seen that the owner of the house has quite elegant taste, and has spent a lot of thought on this room.
Just as Lin Tao was admiring the decoration of the house, a charming but extremely capable voice came from behind him, "This is the mysterious Xuanying Gongzi?"
Lin Tao turned his head and saw a beautiful and moving young woman full of youth, with a kind smile on her peerless face, which made people feel good at first sight, but Lin Tao, who was a person in two lives, could easily see the faint disdain and rejection hidden under the kind face.
It's also reassuring to think about it, such a charming and touching beauty has an amazing business talent, and she does have proud capital. Lin Tao was not angry, and replied lightly: "This is Miss Luo Yashan, who is very talented? ”
Luo Yashan's star-like eyes instantly exuded a hint of eye-catching brilliance, and she couldn't help but glance at Lin Tao opposite with interesting eyes.
Kane, who was between the two, smiled a little awkwardly, and knew that she was not qualified to intervene in front of her, but the eldest lady didn't like others to steal her words. It's just that the behavior of these two people can't help but feel funny, Guy Luo Yashan's words are ostensibly said to Kane, but in fact, they directly bypass Kane and ask Lin Tao generously if he is Xuanying. And Lin Tao, as a salute, also drew a scoop according to the gourd, and repeated it, which can be regarded as saying hello to Luo Yashan.
Kane, who realized that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, turned around and confessed to the two of them, excused himself from the fact that he still had something to do, so he took the first step.
Luo Yashan nodded, then turned her face to look at Lin Tao with a faint smile, she didn't say a word for a long time, but she picked up the cup beside her and took a sip of milk tea gently.
Lin Tao, who was a little uncomfortable stared at by the other party's moving eyes, looked slightly cramped, and he also did the same, picking up a cup and drinking tea. "This woman's eyes are a little too sharp, as if she can speak. Lin Tao said in his heart.
A strange atmosphere enveloped the two, and neither of them spoke or was slowly tasting tea.
In the end, it was Luo Yashan who spoke first: "Isn't Mr. Xuanying not curious at all why I invited you here? After all, it was a woman, and Luo Yashan didn't hold her breath in the end.
Putting down the teacup in his hand, Lin Tao smiled faintly, "To be honest, I'm curious, but why you invited me here can more or less guess it." However, this does not mean that I have to ask, as the host, Miss Luo will naturally say it. ”
Hearing this, the interest in Luo Yashan's eyes became even stronger, and she felt that the man in front of her was very mysterious and interesting. Carefully staring at the silver-gray mask on Lin Tao's face, he said, "Mr. Xuanying's mask is really good, exactly the same as the mask sold by the small vendor opposite our auction house." ”
Hearing the ridicule in the other party's words, Lin Tao also felt a little embarrassed, and smiled awkwardly, "Miss Luo's eyes are like torches, this mask was indeed bought at that vendor." ”
Luo Yashan chuckled, and suddenly became charming, "Mr. Xuanying, you are really interesting, and you give me a very different feeling compared to other men." Okay, let's get down to business. Glancing at Lin Tao, Luo Yashan continued: "The last time you entrusted the Beauty Pill to our auction house, Kane and Mr. Edward had already reported this matter to me, and I also saw the earth-shaking changes in the maid's face, it is no exaggeration to say that I was skeptical at first, and then Kane and Edward's desperate explanations made me finally choose to believe you, of course, it is better to believe in the efficacy of the Beauty Pill. Our immediate and subsequent push at auction resulted in the sale of the beauty pill for a staggering price. Of course, without your permission, we took out one of them and tested the medicine. Although the intention is good, we have made a mistake after all, and I hope for your understanding Mr. Hyunyoung. ”
Lin Tao listened silently, and secretly shouted in his heart: "This woman is really as powerful as the rumors." Although it was an apology on the surface, his demeanor and tone did not mean to apologize at all, but faintly pointed out the huge role played by Roken Auction House in it.
Lin Tao nodded, knowing that what the other party said was the truth, and her original intention was not revealed, "It's not your fault, after all, everyone wants to sell Yangyan Pill for a good price for the same purpose." I think if I hadn't tried the medicine on the spot, the price of six beauty pills would have been much less than it is now. Besides, you didn't have a way to communicate with me at the time. ”
"I am very grateful to Mr. Hyun Young for his trust and support, and of course we are also doing business. And I just heard that Mr. Xuanying doesn't seem to have any intention of continuing to refine the Beauty Raising Pill and coming to our auction house for auction, right?"
"Yes, for my personal reasons, I don't want to continue to sell it for the time being, as for what kind of reason, please Miss Luo keep my privacy for me and don't ask again. ”
Cute and cowardly on the soft and boneless shoulder, Luo Yashan said: "Since Mr. Xuanying does have difficulties and has decided, I don't want to say anything more." It's just a pity, if you can supply it for a long time, then this beauty craze in Van Mill City will become more and more intense, and even spread to the imperial capital and even the whole country. ”
Lin Tao didn't answer, just listened quietly.
Luo Yashan, who felt slightly disappointed, felt that she couldn't see through the man in front of her at all. "However, as a friend, I still have a small request that I hope Prince Xuanying can help me fulfill. ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”
"I want to ...... Ask Xuanying Gongzi to refine another beauty pill, just one. Don't get me wrong, I won't make it difficult for you, but when I saw the miraculous effect of the beauty pill, I wanted to try it myself. Speaking of this, Luo Yashan felt a little embarrassed strangely, and felt that she owed a lot of favors, after all, Lin Tao had repeatedly stated just now that he would not refine the Yan Dan again, but now he asked for it again. This made Luo Yashan look at Lin Tao with some apprehension, waiting for his reaction.
I didn't expect that this shrewd and capable woman in front of me would make such a request, which greatly surprised Lin Tao. But then I can understand that Luo Yashan, as a woman, especially such a beautiful woman, could refuse the huge temptation brought by the beauty pill, which woman does not love beauty, even the saint Luo Yashan in the minds of countless men is no exception. After thinking for a while, Lin Tao muttered: "This is not much trouble, as long as Miss Luo agrees not to talk to outsiders, it will be fine." However, I want to remind you that the worse your physical condition, the better the effect of taking Yangyan Dan, if you take it, I am afraid that the effect will be much worse, who called Miss Luo originally beautiful and scary. ”
Seeing that Lin Tao promised to break the rules for himself and refine another beauty pill to give to herself, Luo Yashan was really happy, no matter how much she was pampered and humiliated on weekdays, she couldn't help but be happy at the moment, and hurriedly said: "Of course, Mr. Xuanying, please rest assured, I won't let the third person except us know about this matter." In terms of price, I will also give it to you according to the market price of Yangyan Dan, thank you very much. ”
smiled and waved his hand, "As long as the young lady agrees to help me keep it secret, as for the money, forget it, without the help of your bank this time, I can't make so much profit." This beauty pill should be regarded as a favor and given to you. ”
