Chapter 123: Good brother-in-law
Although the brother and sister deliberately lowered their voices when they spoke, Wei Xuan could still hear it clearly, and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "I'm really embarrassed, I don't have any money." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
He was telling the truth, because he didn't have any currency in this world. Yuli took out paper money, and he only had gold and silver, but he didn't know if he could use it in this world.
Yu Jin's face turned pale, and he said: "Lili, be careful, this person must be a liar!
"It's my own willingness to be deceived, I don't need you to care!" Yuli glared at her brother fiercely, pulled Wei up and turned around and left. If it weren't for the people around her, it is estimated that the eldest lady of the Rain Clan would have gone crazy on the spot.
"I really don't have money, but I don't know if this will work?" Wei Xuan suddenly found that this eldest lady of the Rain Clan was very character and cute, and couldn't help but smile, and with a flip of his palm, there was already a small object in his palm, but it was a small gold bar weighing about ten grams.
"Gold!" Yuli's face was full of shock.
"Yes, of course, yes, yes! Lend me first, and I'll pay you back when I have the money later." Lili, you must accompany Mr. Wei. Yujin said as he grabbed the gold bar and ran. For a gold bar, I can't wait to sell my sister, this guy's character is really flattering.
"Brother!" Yu Li stomped her feet in anger, but she had no choice but to complain to Wei Xuan, "Why are you so careless, don't expect him to return the money when it reaches him." ”
Wei Xuan smiled: "If you don't pay it back, you won't pay it back, anyway, my family is a gold mine, and there are many more of these things." Besides, he's your brother, so help him if you can. ”
Yuli's heart warmed, but she said: "No wonder you came to Jinsha's coming-of-age ceremony, it turns out that the two of you are peers." ”
Only then did Wei Xuan know that the Jin clan where Jin Sha belonged was mining gold. Judging from the reactions of the Yuli brothers and sisters, the gold in this world is very valuable, which shows that Jinsha's family must be rich and rival the country, no wonder it can hold such a grand coming-of-age ceremony.
At this moment, the sound of the original passionate music became softer, and a pair of young men and women stepped into the center of the hall and began to dance, their dancing posture somewhat similar to that of ballroom dancing in the earth world.
Yuli whispered, "Aren't you going to invite me to dance?"
Wei Xuan nodded, bent down and made an inviting gesture. He practiced ballroom dancing for a period of time in college, and now after practicing innate skills, he can see all kinds of movements, whether it is dance or martial arts.
Soon, the two of them joined the dancing crowd. At first, Wei Xuan's dance steps were still a little rusty, but after two laps, he became proficient, dancing lightly with Yuli, and became the most dazzling pair on the dance floor, attracting bursts of applause. And among them, the one who shouted the hardest was Yuli's brother Yujin, and the power of gold was really extraordinary.
Suddenly, there was a roar of cheers in the hall. Surrounded by a group of seven or eight-year-old girls, a gorgeously dressed young girl slowly walked into the hall. The music stopped abruptly, and the dancing people walked to the sides of the hall to welcome the arrival of today's protagonist, Miss Jinsha, with warm applause. Unlike the white dresses of the other female guests, Jinsha was dressed in bright red, making her the focus of the entire hall in an instant. Of course, Jinsha has a good face, a tall figure, and is charming and sexy, which can attract the attention of men.
In the midst of all the attention, Jin Sha came to the center of the hall, lightly opened her lips, and her crisp voice echoed in the hall: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome everyone to come and participate in Jin Sha's coming-of-age ceremony." As a token of appreciation, Jinsha will auction off one of her favorite long dresses. All proceeds from the auction will be donated to the orphanage. ”
The hall burst into warm applause again, but Wei Xuan secretly shook his head. This was supposed to be the highlight of the whole coming-of-age ceremony, but it turned out to be staged now, so how could it be played later? Of course, he was just watching the fun, and there was no need to dictate to other people's arrangements.
While speaking, someone had already held a white long dress, and after a week of display, it was announced: "This is Miss Jinsha's most beloved long dress, which has accompanied her to countless coming-of-age ceremonies, and now the auction is open, with a reserve price of five hundred dina." ”
The dina is supposed to be the currency unit of the earthly world. Wei Xuan was very curious and did not know what the purchasing power of the dina was. But I heard that someone had already quoted: "I'll pay a thousand dina!"
It seems to have doubled the reserve price, but it attracted boos from the audience.
Someone else shouted: "I'll give five thousand dina!"
That's when I got a few rounds of applause.
Immediately afterwards, Gao Jian, who was walking staggeringly, appeared out of nowhere and said loudly: "I, I'll give 10,000 dina!"
The applause was noticeably louder than it had just been. And in the midst of this applause, the price of the long dress soared all the way to 100,000 dina. Yujin is very good at choosing the right time, and finally stood up at this juncture, raised his hand and said, "I'll give you a piece of gold!"
Jinsha's family is a gold miner, and soon someone came to check the value of the gold bar in Yujin's hand, and announced on the spot: "According to the weight and purity of this piece of gold, it is worth 200,000 dina!"
The audience was in an uproar, and soon, the applause rang out again, and it lasted for a long time. The auctioneer shouted, "Is there anyone else bidding? Is there still anyone bidding? If there is no bidding, this long dress will belong to Mr. Yujin." At the same time, Mr. Yujin will also get a chance to dance with Miss Jinsha!"
At the beginning, Wei Xuan felt that this auctioneer was not very professional, so he should take a mallet and wave it and shout 200,000 for the first time and 200,000 for the second time to render the atmosphere. But now he found that this auctioneer is not simple, and this last sentence directly pushed the auction to a climax.
Sure enough, immediately a young man stood up and shouted, "I'll give you a piece of gold too!"
After the appraiser inspected it, he immediately announced: "Mr. Dark Dragon's gold is not as good as Mr. Yujin's, but it weighs three times that of Mr. Yujin, and the discount is 400,000 dina!"
400,000 diners to buy a long dress, it was definitely an astronomical amount, and the whole hall was silent, and hundreds of pairs of eyes looked at Yujin in unison, expecting him to increase the price further.
Yujin didn't expect this to happen, and suddenly blushed, but in front of so many people, he couldn't lose face. As soon as he gritted his teeth, he walked up to Wei Xuan and whispered, "Good brother-in-law, lend me two more pieces of gold." ”
"Ahem, ahem, what do you call me!" Wei Xuan was originally savoring the fruit wine in his hand, while watching the auction with great interest, but after listening to Yu Jin's words, he choked on a sip of wine in his throat and didn't hold it, and sprayed Yujin all over his face.
Yu Jin didn't care about his embarrassment, and hurriedly sneered: "Mr. Wei, you see how well you and Lili are together, how good it is for you to be my brother-in-law, anyway, I don't mind Lili marrying to the Western Continent." As long as you help me, I will do all the work on my parents' side. With Mr. Wei's net worth, presumably they will definitely agree. ”
He was not ashamed, but Yuli was too ashamed, and pulled Wei Xuan and said, "He's drunk, don't pay attention to him, let's go over there!"
