The lord insists on me being responsible for him

Chapter 31 Banquet ([-])

Haitang stood sideways, deliberately turning her back to the princess, just not wanting to give the princess a chance to signal.If the princess speaks out to stop it, it will definitely make the guests present feel unfair.

Yan Shixi can have a banquet with them and enjoy singing and dancing, but he doesn't have to donate materials and funds to build Fuchun Garden like them?

Haitang's tone was full of smiles, but her eyes were full of hatred.She wanted to see Yan Shiyi make a fool of himself, a penniless peasant girl, what would she use to bid against the noble girls.

Yan Shishi didn't expect Haitang to come out like this.Fortunately, she has a lotus branch gold hairpin presented by the princess, so donating it can be regarded as making the best use of it.

The moment she pulled out the gold hairpin, she suddenly understood that donations were not the purpose, and the auction was the grand finale.

Just imagine what she donated by a peasant girl, who would want to bid for it!It is also impossible for her to ask for the price and pay for the auction, and she does not have a single copper coin on her body.At that time, it will not only be her who will be embarrassed, but also the princess...

Raising her eyelashes, she looked at Lianzhi Nobile and said slowly:
"I'm a farmer's girl, and I don't have anything long. I only have this gold hairpin that the princess rewarded me, and I cherish it like my life. Now I donate the gold hairpin to support the princess to expand Fuchun Garden."

Yan Shishi gently placed the lotus branch gold hairpin on the tray.

"There will be a better master who will cherish you..."

When she raised her eyes again, there were tears in her eyes that she couldn't let go of, as if she was muttering to herself, but the words were clearly audible.

"Don't go down yet?"

Zhao Changye glared at Haitang.I didn't blame Haitang for making her own decisions before, but now I feel that the big maid is meddling.

Haitang didn't dare to turn her head to look at the Princess, she lowered her head and carried the tray in front of the Grand Scholar's wife, unable to show a smile on her face.

She thought that Yan Shiyi had achieved her goal by obediently donating the golden hairpin, but she didn't expect Yan Shixi to say those words in a way that made the princess feel guilty.

Yan Shiyi regards the golden hairpin as precious and life-like, but the princess thinks it is unlucky and unlucky, and takes the opportunity to reward people to win people's hearts.What's more, it's still a gold-plated hairpin, so it's not worth much.

There are more and more things on the tray, and the talking and laughing are getting more and more harmonious.

Everyone knew in their hearts that after a while in the auction, everyone had to ask for the price of the items they donated, and then others would bid for the auction.

The result is not important, what is important is that this process must fully consider each person's identity, and also weigh one's own strength.

For example, the lady of the university scholar, even though she was ordered by the second rank, she knew she was short in front of Jiang Xia Wang's sister, so she couldn't overwhelm her with her shots.

As for Madam Hou Tai of Dongyang, I had expected that her asking price would be the real price, who would dare to compete with her!
Xiao Qian looked at his little rattan box placed on the edge of the long table in the main hall, thinking that he would have to keep an eye on Xiao Xianwang's bidding for a while.The two had already discussed it. Xiao Qian asked for a price of one tael of silver to see how other people reacted. In the end, King Xiaoxian took the rattan box back with the most suitable high price.

Mother Xu changed into a festive maroon dress with a gold silk embroidered belt around her waist, making her tight waist look very slender.Standing between Peony and Begonia, the momentum is not inferior to the master.

"Start shooting the first donation, the jade and jasper bracelet."

She holds a wooden hammer tied with red silk in her hand and holds it on her shoulder.Haitang carried the jade bracelet around the field for a circle, and every time she passed, it attracted admiration.

Everyone knows that it is Mrs. Dongyang Houtai's bracelet, so I don't want to boast when I wait for it.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou Tai's face was calm, her eyes were all on the little grandson opposite.

In front of her grandmother, Jing Can has always been gentle and refined.He sat at Zhu Shiyuan's lower table, sipping the after-dinner tea and fruits without looking sideways.

Hearing about bidding for the jadeite bracelet, he raised his eyes to look at his grandmother.Seeing his grandmother nodding, he chuckled and continued to turn the teacup in his hand.
