Miss Fortune: Is the regent ready for today?

Chapter 9 Bidding
At first glance, the boy's appearance looks somewhat similar to that of the girl in red. But if you look closely, you can see that his eyebrows are slightly flat and not as flamboyant as the girl in red. He was born with clear water-like eyes. His eyes, the bridge of his nose are like ice carvings, the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, and his face looks gentle even when he is not smiling.

Nie Renxi curled his lips, are these the Yin family siblings?I heard that the eight carriages that the Yin family entered Beijing were all filled with wooden boxes, and the wooden boxes were all filled with antique gold and silver. I wonder if the auction price that will start soon will double because of their arrival?
Nie Renxi's businessman blood was about to stir. He raised his hand to close the folding fan and patted a piece of rosewood on the table. In an instant, the place became quiet.

He looked around the crowd with a smile, "Today Tingxian Building will launch three auction items. According to the past rules, the one with the highest price will win."

Nie Renxi waved, and a boy came up to the round table carrying something covered with a white rhopa and placed it on the table. He gently opened the rhopa, smiled at everyone, and then raised the tray. , facing the display in the venue, "The first piece is Dongling Jade Lotus. The starting price is 300 taels of silver."

On the tray is a blooming lotus carved from aventurine. From a distance, it looks thick and transparent, with excellent color.

Someone in the Bafang Seat immediately made a bid, "350 taels!"

The waiter immediately followed the quotation: "Go to Wu Shangshu Mansion in Beijing and bid 350 taels——"

"400 taels!"

"Beijing Sanshi, go to the Ji family in Beijing Flower God Pavilion and bid 400 taels——"

"450 taels!"

"Room 450 in the east, go to Jingzhou Canjun Mansion and bid [-] taels——"

"500 taels!"

"The Wei family of Baizhou, bid 500 taels——"

"550 taels!"

"..."

The quotations in the hall came one after another. In the south room, Yu Ruyi held her forehead and looked at Yin Luo, "Do you want it? Aventurine, lotus."

Yin Luo was not interested, "My name is Yin Helan, not Yin Lianlan."

Yu Ruyi nodded, but suddenly quoted, "800 taels——"

The waiter immediately shouted: "Room South, go to Jingyin Mansion and bid 800 taels——"

Yin Luo frowned and looked at Yu Ruyi, "Are you a fool? They just offered 600 taels, and others raised the price to 50 taels. You raised 200 taels?" She paused, confused, "And that's it. Aventurine of such fine quality, don’t you have a mountain of wealth? Why are you taking pictures of it?”

Yu Ruyi smiled maliciously, "I asked you just now. Since you said you don't want it, I naturally have no intention of asking for it. But since I'm here, I have to play, so I'll help raise the price for Tingxian House. "

There was silence for a moment, and then the person from the North Third Room quoted the price again: "900 taels!"

"Beijing Sanshi, go to the Ji family in Beijing Flower God Pavilion and bid 900 taels——"

Yu Ruyi breathed out, "1000 taels——"

"Room South, go to Jingyin Mansion and bid 1000 taels——"

There were already people in the seats in the hall looking towards them, and the discussion became louder and louder, "Is this the Yin Mansion that just arrived in Beijing three days ago?"

"What a generous move..."

"That's right, this piece of aventurine was actually offered for 1000 taels!"

"..."

Yu Ruyi changed the tea cup and continued drinking tea, pretending not to hear these words.

At this moment, Beisanshi made another bid: "One thousand, two hundred taels!"

The waiter made an excited bid with a trembling voice, "Beijing Sanshi, go to the Ji family in the Flower God Pavilion in Beijing, and bid one thousand, two hundred taels——"

The protagonist in the discussion was the Ji family again, "What is the Ji family doing in Huashen Pavilion?"

"Yes, although the Ji family is considered a well-known wealthy businessman in Shangjing, they won't spend so much on buying jade, right?" "Perhaps the Ji family doesn't steam buns to gain reputation?"

When Yin Luo heard this, he raised his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows with interest: "Why don't I know when did the Ji family offend the Sixth Young Master? How dare you push him so hard?"

Yu Ruyi snorted coldly, "The one who offended me was the Flower God Pavilion. Last winter, I finally found a batch of pearls from the East China Sea, and planned to buy them to make hairpins for Yu Chai Pavilion. Who knew that they were intercepted by the Flower God Pavilion? Hu, they are going to grind these pearls into powder! I paid the deposit to the store in Donghai in vain, which is a full 300 taels!" Yu Ruyi took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, which was dry due to anger. , smiled at Yin Luo, "When I have the opportunity today, I have to give them trouble! I don't know, sister, there are 36 counters in the Huashen Pavilion, each named after a flower. I heard that the birthday of shopkeeper Na Lian is at the end of the month. I I guess the person who came to the auction today is a junior from the Ji family, who has made up his mind to take this Dongling Jade Lotus back to Shopkeeper Lian as a birthday gift."

Yu Ruyi smiled and narrowed her eyes slightly, "If Shopkeeper Lian knew that they spent 200 taels of silver to acquire this aventurine, would they still care about celebrating their birthday..."

Yin Luo curled her lips. Compared to being mean and stingy, there really was no one she knew who could compare to Yu Ruyi...

Nie Renxi, who was on the round platform, looked towards the two of them with a smile in his eyes.It seems that what he just thought was correct. The Yin family siblings really raised the price of this piece of aventurine above the original market price...

After a long silence in the auction room, Nie Renxi smiled decently, picked up the rosewood and patted the table, "The first lot was bought by the Ji family of Huashen Pavilion, and the auction price was one thousand, two hundred taels of silver."

The waiter quickly brought up the second lot. Nie Renxi opened the Luo Pa and introduced to everyone: "The second lot is a blood-melting silver cup. The starting price is 500 taels of silver."

It was a six-edged medicine cup made of sterling silver, with some bright red dark lines on it, faintly surging under the light.

"Blood-melting silver lamp?! Are you actually listening to Xianlou?!"

"Is it the medicine cup that can heal wounds and remove poison?"

"Of course! The blood-melting silver lamp is the only one in the world!"

"..."

When Yin Luo saw the blood-melting silver lamp, he stood up. Yu Ruyi also frowned and looked at the stage, asking softly: "Is this the blood-melting silver lamp that the second brother has been looking for?"

Yin Luo nodded, looked at Yu Ruyi, changed from his usual frivolous and dissolute look, and looked a little solemn, "How much money do you have in Shangjing?"

Yu Ruyi pursed her lips in embarrassment, "I don't have any silver." He blinked, "Sister, you know me. Except for making clothes, all my silver... has been changed into gold."

Yin Luo smiled slightly, but it was very perfunctory. She raised her chin and said, "Take it for the second brother."

Yu Ruyi nodded, "Okay, sister," and then quoted the price, "I'll pay 100 taels of gold!"

Yin Luo frowned when he heard the price, but didn't say anything after all.

The waiter once again made an excited offer: "Room South, go to the Jingyin Mansion and bid 100 taels of gold——"

Suddenly the people in the hall looked this way again, "How much did he say? 100 taels? Gold?!"

"This has doubled!"

"What is the origin of this Yin family? 100 taels of gold will be given out just by saying it?"

"..."

"You may have gone too far." Yin Luo said in a neither salty nor cool tone.

Yu Ruyi disagreed, "Maybe someone has paid more than me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a clear female voice from the South Room 120 to the west of the South Room [-], "[-] taels of gold!"

The waiter became even more excited: "The second room in the south, the Min family in Cuizhou, bids 120 taels of gold——"

Yin Luo frowned slightly when she heard this. She looked at Yu Ruyi, and Yu Ruyi also looked at her.

When the two looked at each other, they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.
