The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 364
Inside the Qinghui Building, the largest auction house in Ningcheng, the outside of the building is full of people at this time.

This Qinghui Building is not accessible to just anyone, and tickets need to be purchased in advance.

A seat in the lobby on the first floor costs 50 taels of silver, and a private room on the second floor costs 500 taels of silver. A vote is hard to come by.

Now, in the private room with the best location on the second floor, Ning Yuezhao held the entrance ticket to the private room that had been torn off a corner, and her delicate red lips pursed into a line, "No wonder Shi Wanyao was so arrogant back then. It is indeed easy to make money by looking at the big tree of King Kangyu."

This ticket was bought by Jiang Nian from someone else for 1000 taels.

Jiang Nian poured her a cup of tea with the pot, "Aren't you curious, what is the charm of this Qinghui Tower that so many people flock to it?"

Ning Yuezhao looked around at the display stand in the middle of the first floor. At the moment, the curtains tightly surrounded the whole stand. However, combined with the tight situation outside the door and the crowds of participants around, the gimmick of Qinghui Building was quite a gimmick. .

She took a piece of delicate snack in her hand, "I hope they won't let me down."

Soon, the gate of Qinghui Building was closed, cutting off the noise outside the gate.The doors and windows in the building were tightly covered by black cloth, and the lights made of luminous pearls placed at special angles emitted soft beams of light and shone on the stage.

The melodious music sounded, and it was neither silk nor bamboo. Even Jiang Nian, who is proficient in temperament, couldn't tell what instrument it was playing for a while.

Ning Yuezhao took a sip of the tea in front of her, and exchanged a tacit look with Jiang Nian.

At this time, the curtain was slowly lifted halfway, and a rectangular object appeared in the center of the stage, covered with a red cloth, making it impossible to see what was inside.

At this time, a young man wearing a black wide-sleeved crane cloak and a white collared robe slowly walked out from behind the curtain, and all the lights were focused on him.

"Shi Yingjie, the treasurer of Qinghui Building, thank you all new and old customers for coming! I won't talk nonsense, and now I will introduce today's first auction item."

The curtains on the display stand were completely untied, and a woman in a strange costume was seen sitting in the corner of the stage. She was wearing a crimson dress without cross-collar ties. Pearls, the cuffs are like a blooming trumpet flower, the top is sewn together with the skirt, the skirt is huge, and there seems to be something inside the skirt to make the whole skirt open like an umbrella, matching the delicate skirt Jacquard embroidery makes the whole skirt look like a blooming flower.

The woman playing the piano is fair-skinned, wearing a crown-shaped headband inlaid with pearls and gemstones to restrain her golden hair, which naturally curls down to her waist.

The most astonishing thing is that this woman has a pair of blue eyes, as deep as the sea.

Ning Yuezhao always felt that she had seen such a pair of eyes before, but she couldn't remember for a while.

A three-legged thing stood in front of the foreign woman, like a swan that wanted to fly. The woman's slender fingers fluttered on the black and white keys, making melodious music. The music just now was played in this way. .

Ning Yuezhao reached out and tugged at Jiang Nian's sleeve, "What kind of musical instrument is that, why have I never seen it before?"

Jiang Nian played with the folding fan in his hand, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, "This is the musical instrument of the Semu people from across the ocean. It's called a piano. Nobles in overseas countries will play this musical instrument. I've only heard people mention it before." However, today is also the first time seeing you."

Ning Yuezhao pursed her vermilion lips slightly, "Showing up the crowd may not sound better than my Celestial Guqin."

Jiang Nian opened the folding fan in his hand and shook it gently, "I was worried that the 1000 taels of silver would be wasted, but now it seems that we can earn more."

Ning Yuezhao took a deep look at Jiang Nian, vaguely guessing what he was going to do.

At this time, the thing that had been covered by the red cloth also revealed the true face of Mount Lu, and the lights on the stage brightened a little when the red cloth was lifted.

"This is a glazed mercury mirror from the English Empire. The starting price is 100 taels."

They saw a six-foot-high mirror displayed in front of everyone's eyes, with a vine-like frame wrapped around the mirror. The most special thing is that this mirror does not reflect a very clear portrait like the commonly used bronze mirror.

Through the glass surface, Mercury clearly reflected Shi Yingjie's figure.

Rao even the bronze mirror in Ning Yuezhao's bedroom can't illuminate people so clearly, it can be said to be accurate.

Everyone has a love for beauty, and almost all the female guests at the scene stared straight.

"200 taels!" Someone raised the price immediately.

"300 taels!"

"500 taels!"

During the bidding period, each private room has a maid serving a cup of scented tea to each customer.

"What is the taste?"

Almost the moment the maid put down the teacup, Ning Yuezhao asked.

The maid said with a smile: "This is lavender tea from France. It has the effect of beautifying and calming the mind. It is most suitable for Madam."

Ning Yuezhao shook her head, and looked at the maid with sharp eyes, "What kind of incense do you use on your body?"

The maid shook her head mysteriously, "The madam has a really good nose, but the maid has nothing to say for now, you will know in a while."

After speaking, the maid stepped back.

On the other hand, Jiang Nian picked up the scented tea in front of him, and the smile on his lips deepened, "Interesting."

Ning Yuezhao glanced at him, "You know?"

At this time, the asking price of the mercury mirror has reached 1000 taels.

Jiang Nian put down his teacup, did not answer Ning Yuezhao's question, but asked the price directly, "2000 taels."

Ning Yuezhao was taken aback by his sudden action, and almost immediately reached out to cover his mouth, "Are you crazy!"

"Two thousand and one hundred taels!" A slightly anxious female voice came from an unknown private room.

Jiang Nian took advantage of the opportunity to grab her hand, put it on his lips and kissed it lightly, and said without blinking, "3000 taels."

Ning Yuezhao was pissed off by him, but the person concerned still winked at her as if nothing had happened.

Jing Ming and others who followed behind pretended not to see the intimate interaction between the two.

Ning Yuezhao simply ignored it and let Jiang Nian bid.

In the end, the glazed mercury mirror was won by Jiang Nian for 5000 taels of silver, because the guests in the private room couldn't see each other, and the guests on the first floor couldn't see what was going on in the private room when they looked up, so Jiang Nian and Ning Yuezhao were spared. Received envious eyes of envy and hatred.

After the first item was sold, the piano music on the stage was changed to another, and Shi Yingjie showed everyone a glass bottle the size of a palm, with an exquisite shape.

I don't know what kind of liquid is contained in the bottle, and under the soft light, it glows with a rose-colored luster.

"This is rose dew from France. It is better than any fragrance powder in time. Just now when our maid served scented tea to you, she rubbed this rose dew on her body. The starting price is still 100 taels."

The final price of the glazed mercury mirror far exceeded Shi Yingjie's expectations, so he also had great confidence in Rose Fragrance.

Still clinging to Ning Yuezhao's hand, Jiang Nian pulled her into his arms and let her sit on his lap. He bowed his head on her neck and took a deep breath of the fragrance of her body. "Well, the fragrance on Madam's body smells good..."

Ning Yuezhao couldn't break free from his embrace, so she could only stare at him.

The asking price outside had been raised to 500 taels, Jiang Nian said casually, "1000 taels!"

Ning Yuezhao opened her eyes wide, and slapped his chest with a palm, "You are really crazy!"

Just now when she heard his out-of-shape words, she thought he would give up bidding on this Rose Fragrance Lotion, but she didn't expect to increase the price by 500 taels as soon as he opened his mouth.

She didn't use her internal strength in this palm. Given Jiang Nian's physical condition, a beating would not be a big deal. He just hugged her tighter, and his moist lips brushed against her ear, "This rose fragrance Although it's not as good as Madam's natural body fragrance, it should be good for fuming toilets or something."

Ning Yuezhao's face was reddened by his actions, thinking that there was still a room full of servants, she said with a straight face: "You don't spend money like this!"

At this time, the price of Rose Fragrance has been raised to 200 taels.

Jiang Nian pondered for a while, as if he was thinking about Ning Yuezhao's words, but when he spoke the next moment, Ning Yuezhao almost passed out of anger.

"One thousand five hundred taels."

Ning Yuezhao condensed her inner strength into her palm, pushed Jiang Nian away, straightened her clothes and sat back in her seat, her pretty face was so cold that it couldn't be colder.

In the end, the rose fragrance was also photographed by Jiang Nian for 500 taels of silver.

At this time, someone came to serve tea again, this time it was a man in charge, who replaced Jiang Nian and Ning Yuezhao with a high-quality West Lake Longjing.

"Young master and madam are a bit unfamiliar, where are they from?" The man asked casually while changing tea.

Jiang Nian unfolded the folding fan "swish", flickered lightly, and looked at the steward from the corner of his eyes slightly, "Why, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay the money?"

The hand that was in charge of holding the teacup trembled. Those who work in the shopping mall are not as smooth and sophisticated as a loach. Who would have thought that Jiang Nian would be so straightforward.

"Young master misunderstood, why would you think so?" The steward smiled.

Jiang Nian closed the folding fan and tapped his palm repeatedly, "I have already signed the contract and paid the deposit when I entered the venue. I'm going to shoot my son. You should do your part."

The steward broke out in a cold sweat, nodded and retreated.

At this time, Shi Yingjie showed another item, which was an exquisite iron box the size of an adult's palm. After opening, a crystal figurine popped up, which would rotate on its own and make melodious music. The timbre sounded similar to the piano at the beginning similar.

The auction items displayed this time are all loved by ladies and gentlemen, but Jiang Nian took all the items with a lot of money, and the ladies and ladies present were a little impatient, and the price was raised to 500 at the very beginning. two.

Several people were determined to win the music box, and the bidding was as fierce as fighting on the battlefield.

Jiang Nian smiled slightly, "1000 taels."

Cursing could already be heard coming from the nearby private room. After Ning Yuezhao glanced at someone in vain, she drank tea and ate refreshments by herself, not caring about Jiang Nian's prodigal behavior.
