And the four of them here are also a little uncomfortable - Huang Chang himself doesn't need to say that he is a good person, Murong Ying and Jin Rong are both from big families, and this kind of thing is also commonplace since childhood, and although Wu Daniu is slow to react, it is not completely unreasonable-because Ji Ruo did not show any intention of accepting this mother and son, and it was inconvenient for them to express too obvious likes and dislikes to this child, and they could only pretend not to know about the attitude of wanting to get close to them that this child had strongly released. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info One or two days is okay, three days and four days like this, it's really embarrassing.

After Ji Ruo returned home, she still lived in her own original yard for the past few days, and this courtyard has not been touched since Ji Ruo left home, even the maid Qian Xue who has served her since she was a child. And this is the only place in Ji Ruo's memory that has not changed much from before she left home - the place where her mother originally lived was the main courtyard of the palace, and after her father remarried, of course, he had to rebuild it according to the taste and hobbies of the new princess, and the things related to the previous hostess were replaced. In the entire Shengyang Jun's mansion, this small courtyard of Ji Ruo still maintains the appearance that her mother personally arranged for her back then.

Nearly a decade has passed, and everything in this courtyard has become obsolete. And Ji Ruo's mother originally arranged the room for her little daughter, who was only seven or eight years old, and now it is no longer suitable as a boudoir for a young girl. But even so, Ji Ruo resolutely blocked his father's idea of having people repave and rebuild, and demanded that everything be left as it was.

Three or four days after returning home, after going to her mother's grave to pay homage, Ji Ruo stayed in the courtyard and stayed at home, probably still mourning her mother. And except for meeting her father once on the first day and crying with a headache, she didn't see each other at all in the next few days, and even Huang Chang and other guests met with Shengyangjun more often.

Sheng Yangjun was obviously aware of his daughter's thoughts, but he didn't know how to deal with it - at the dinner on the first day, Sheng Yangjun officially asked the princess and the prince to come out to meet Ji Ruo, but the latter's attitude was quite cold, but like Huang Chang and others, he greeted Mrs. Shengyangjun as a disciple of Kunlun Mountain, obviously unwilling to admit that this strange woman was his stepmother.

This made Sheng Yangjun feel helpless, of course he hoped that his backyard could be intimate and harmonious, but Ji Ruo's thoughts were no longer something he could influence. For those girls from ordinary families, the future of marriage is in the hands of their stepmothers, and of course they dare not be so stubborn. But if Ji Ruo has entered the immortal gate, he is not limited by the mundane at all. In a sense, it can even be said that the future of the entire Shengyang Monarch Mansion is decided by her, even her biological parents can't control her, let alone a mortal stepmother.

Sheng Yangjun even looked for Huang Chang in private, hoping that he could help persuade him to do a thing or two - it seems that Ji Ruo did talk to her father about Huang Chang specifically, but she didn't know what level to mention. However, Sheng Yangjun must have discovered that Huang Chang had a certain influence on his daughter, otherwise he would not have come to him.

But Huang Chang's thoughts were different-he had already taken the initiative to talk to Ji Ruo once, and if he tried to persuade him again this time, he would inevitably seem too keen to intervene in her private affairs, and I am afraid that he would not be liked by Ji Ruo. And there is a constant family affection between Ji Ruo and her biological father, and she will persuade her to be at ease. But for the woman her father remarried...... In the eyes of Huang Chang, a reincarnated person, even if he doesn't recognize it, it's not a big rebellion. He had seen this situation a lot in his previous life, and it was enough to maintain his apparent politeness.

So this time he didn't plan to intervene, but wanted Ji Ruo to cross this hurdle by himself. It doesn't matter if they can't cross it - they'll be leaving in a few days anyway.

............

After a few days of such a hurry, Huang Chang and the others were left with one last thing left in the pickaxe capital: to attend an auction organized by the local merchant pavilion to see how much they could benefit from this auction - the tiger demon body had been determined to be the most precious item of the auction, and it was also the final finale. The starting price quoted by the Shang Pavilion is already quite high, and as for how much it can be auctioned in the end, it depends on the background of the major families on the side of Hojing, and how enthusiastic the atmosphere of the auction was at that time.

On this day, accompanied by Sheng Yangjun and Li Zhai, Huang Chang and a group of five people came to an auction hall dedicated to the Jinxiu Pavilion of the Great Zhou Dynasty to participate in what is known as the largest auction of the Jinxiu Pavilion this year.

The Splendid Pavilion is a giant commercial institution jointly established by many families of the Great Zhou Dynasty, including the royal Ji family, which is unique in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The pickaxe capital is where their general number is located, and it belongs to the absolute market controller. Even West Kunlun Mountain has adopted a business layout of cooperating with it, rather than opening an independent business here on its own - it doesn't want to fight with Jinxiu Pavilion here.

Huang Chang noticed a long time ago that although many parts of this Xianxia world were similar to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in his previous life, they were still very different in terms of specific development trajectories. Not to mention anything else, Yin Shang has been inherited for thousands of years, and in Huang Chang's previous life, he has already evolved from a primitive society to the information age. In this world, it is still a standard "ancient society".

However, in some places, it is different from the real Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period: for example, the folk currency has developed to the use of gold and silver, there is a relatively perfect way of selecting materials for the imperial examination, and there is a very developed commercial civilization represented by the Shang Pavilion...... Wait a minute. In the Qilu generation in the East where Huang Chang has been, the secular life and cultural atmosphere of the folk are even more prosperous, according to Huang Chang's feeling, it is somewhat like the Ming and Qing dynasties, when capitalism sprouted.

This can be fully felt from this auction - when Huang Chang entered the venue, he noticed that the whole venue was not only divided into private rooms, but also scattered seats, staggered seating areas and circular reflective walls, indicating that the builder had fully considered the sight and acoustic problems, and the overall layout was exactly the same as those high-end theaters in his previous life. Later, when chatting with Shengyangjun, I found out that this place is usually not used much in the Splendid Pavilion, after all, treasures are rare, and large-scale auctions are only held once or twice a year at most, and sometimes even once in a few years. Most of the time, it is mainly used as a theater.

This auction is not for everyone to come, there must be an invitation given by the Splendid Pavilion in advance, of course, for Huang Chang and the others who provided the finale lot, as well as the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Shengyangjun, there is no problem, they even have a box each. However, under the warm invitation of Sheng Yangjun, the group still sat in the same box, and the place was big enough anyway.
