Chapter 58 Make Three Children Happy

After an unknown amount of time, a voice of inquiry came from the closed box on the right side of the fourth floor, and the master of ceremonies on the stage woke up like a dream.

"10 taels, is there a higher bid than this?"

The entire Shuiyuntian was completely silent.

After waiting for a few breaths, the auction mallet in the hands of the master of ceremonies fell heavily.

"The King of Qin County hand-copied the "Lotus Sutra", and the guests in the Sauvignon Blanc box on the fourth floor won it at 10 taels. Congratulations."

As the master of ceremonies sounded excited and excited, the entire Shuiyuntian immediately boiled.

"Oh my god, 10 taels! Is there a richer man than Mr. Jiang in Shuiyuntian today?"

"Crazy! A total of 10 taels is almost enough to buy half of Fengjing City."

In the eyes of countless pairs of shocked and admiring eyes, the "Lotus Sutra" was personally sent to the box of Sauvignon Blanc on the fourth floor by the treasurer of Linglong Pavilion.

Sitting in the box was an unfamiliar green-robed man, about 20 years old, well-dressed and capable.

It is completely impossible to see that it is a rich merchant who can afford one hundred thousand silver to buy a copy of the "Lotus Sutra".

The shopkeeper was only slightly surprised for a moment, and soon a warm and thoughtful smile appeared on his face.

"Dear guest, this is the "Lotus Sutra" that you bid for 10 taels, please have a look."

The green-robed man took the Lotus Sutra, flipped through it, nodded, put it in his arms, and then handed the black wooden box placed on the round table to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper smiled and took it with both hands, "Please forgive me, the small ones need to be counted."

The man in the green robe made a "you are free" gesture with his jaw.

The black wooden box was opened, and it was full of bank notes, 1000 taels each, a total of [-]. It took some time not only to count the number, but also to identify the authenticity.

By the time the shopkeeper came out of the Sauvignon Blanc box, it was already a quarter of an hour later.

Seeing the shopkeeper's smiling face, he knew that the transaction was completed, and the whole Shuiyuntian couldn't help but be agitated.

There are still a few imported items from overseas to be auctioned, but everyone obviously lost interest. Everyone only cares about one thing, who is the distinguished guest of the Sauvignon Blanc box.

But until the end of the auction, the doors and windows of the Sauvignon Blanc box were never opened.

Interested people couldn't help but stepped forward to inquire, but found that the box was empty, and there was no one.

The fact that the "Lotus Sutra" was auctioned at a sky-high price of 10 taels of silver spread throughout Fengjing City like wings.

Streets and alleys, teahouses and restaurants are all talking about it.

Linglong Pavilion.

Mu Ning and his three children were counting the 9 taels of silver bills obtained from the auction in the inner room.

The reason why it is 9 taels is because according to the rules of Linglong Pavilion, [-]% of the commission is charged for all auction items.

"Mother, aren't we dreaming? Otherwise, you can pinch me to see if it hurts."

Seeing the second child Mu Yanxi holding a thick stack of banknotes and smiling like a fool, Mu Ning couldn't help laughing either.

"Ah, it hurts!"

Mu Yanxi covered her pinched face, and stared at her younger sister Mu Yanxi, "Duo Duo, are you really pinching?"

Mu Yanxi snorted softly, "You didn't ask me to pinch you."

Mu Yanxi rubbed her face, and said depressedly: "I'm just talking, and you can pinch as you like, it's necessary to be so hard."

"You don't need to use any force, how do you know it hurts?"

As he said that, Mu Yanxi picked up a bank note to carefully identify the official seal on it, and couldn't help muttering, "Is this a real bank note? How can there be such a stupid fool who spends [-] yuan to buy a useless copy?" Broken Buddhist scriptures?"

Mu Ning smiled without saying a word.

She had some guesses about the identity of the bully, and probably knew why he did this.

It is nothing more than to make the three children happy.

I just don't know, isn't it afraid of attracting the suspicion of those in the palace by acting so high-profile?

Or, did he do it on purpose?

After all, blindly showing weakness will only make people get used to making progress, and a proper counterattack is a kind of deterrence.

The treasurer of Linglong Pavilion accepted Mu Yanxi's words with a smile, "Miss Yanxi, please rest assured that the banknotes are indeed real, and I have carefully identified each one next."

After all, he put the 1 taels of silver in his hand in front of Mu Ning.

"Miss Mu, the sky-high price of 10 taels of silver for the Lotus Sutra really caught me by surprise. Linglong Pavilion cannot accept this commission."

After finishing speaking, he added, "This is also what His Highness meant. His Highness has explained before that the affairs of Miss Mu and the three young masters are his business. You will not be charged any fees for any withdrawals in Linglong Pavilion."

Mu Ning thought for a while, and put the 1 taels of banknotes into the black wooden box.

It doesn't matter if it is three to five hundred taels, 500 taels is not a small amount, it is enough to feed a thousand households in Dongfeng Kingdom for a whole year.

Neither she nor Linglong Pavilion can feel at ease holding this money.

Sunset fast.

Anwei Guxing presented the mahogany box containing the "Lotus Sutra" in front of Jun Moyan, "Master, this is the scripture you want."

Jun Moyan lifted the lid of the box, took out the "Lotus Sutra" inside, stared at the title of the book on the cover for a while, and casually threw the scriptures on the coffee table.

"Take it easy, this was bought for 10 taels of silver. It has to be used as a shelf, and three sticks of incense a day will show its dignity."

While joking, Jiang Mubai picked up the book pretending to cherish it, and held it in both hands.

Jun Moyan rolled his eyes at him, "Then I will reward you, take it back and confess it properly."

Jiang Mubai hurriedly threw the Buddhist scriptures back on the tea table, "I don't want this hot potato. Say it's useless. I bought it for 10 taels of silver. Say it's useful. It's really useless. I owe you a day for nothing. Great favor."

Seeing that Jiang Mubai didn't get on the set, Jun Moyan's thin lips curled slightly, and he turned to ask Gu Xing.

"When will Wuxin come back?"

"Master originally wanted to come back with the little one, but when passing by Pingshan City encountered a little trouble, he first sent the little one to hurry back to Fengjing."

Leng Jiandao: "Pingshan City is only two hundred miles away from Fengjing, the footsteps are fast, and it takes only one day to arrive. I think I should be able to come back in these two days."

Jiang Mubai shook the folding fan, looked at Leng Jian with a playful face, "Wuxin is coming back, Jianjian, are you so happy?"

Leng Jian smiled and remained silent.

Among the four personal guards, Wuxin is the oldest, the most calm and thoughtful, and the most secure person in handling affairs. If Wuxin is there, he will not be anxious to watch the big master and the three young masters quarrel every day.

"Oh, speaking of it, I haven't seen Wuxin for a year, and his two children are quite well-behaved. When their family comes back, those two children will just be able to play together with the three of Xiaoman."

The smile on Leng Jian's face widened a bit, "Master Jiang is right, the rice cake and rice fruit are about the same age as the three young masters, so they should be able to play with the young masters."

Gu Xing listened to Leng Jian talking about the three little masters, with curiosity on his face, but he was sensible and didn't ask any more questions.

It was rare for Jun Moyan not to think that a few people were talking loudly, and just propped his chin in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
