Chapter 365
In the end, the music box was sold at a high price of 8000 taels.

Shi Yingjie ordered people to pack the three items separately and send them to the private room for the guests.

"Thank you all distinguished guests for coming today. Mr. Shi is very happy for your support for Qinghui Building. In the next issue, we will present more novel gadgets to you."

After finishing speaking, Shi Yingjie bowed to everyone, and then left, leaving the empty stage.

The clerk of Qinghui Building delivered the three packaged items to Jiang Nian's private room, and he happily paid the bill.

The auction is over, but the guests haven't dispersed yet.There are also several exhibition halls in the Qinghui Building, displaying and selling some gadgets that have traveled across the ocean, but these are clearly marked prices.

Although I didn't win those weird things, it would be nice to buy some rare jewelry and take them home.

Jiang Nian recruited Jing Ming and told him, "Go down and buy Gu Gu as much as you can."

Ning Yuezhao paused while drinking tea, saw Jiang Nian's half-smile expression out of the corner of his eye, and continued drinking tea without saying a word.

Jiang Nian took the music box, opened it and put it in front of Ning Yuezhao, "Do you like it?"

He clearly noticed just now that when Shi Yingjie showed off the music box, a light flashed in Ning Yuezhao's eyes.

The melodious music sounded slowly, and Ning Yuezhao's pale fingers lingered on the crystal figure carved into the shape of a dancer, and his expression softened a lot at this moment.

"Compared to the imperial husband's piano skills, this piano piece is still a bit inferior."

Hearing her slightly awkward words, Jiang Nian's brows and eyes also curved.

At this time, there was a lot of noise downstairs, accompanied by the sound of things falling to the ground and people pushing.

"It's so annoying. It's fine to take away the three treasures just now. Now these ordinary objects are coming to grab us. You are too much!"

"That's right, is it great to be rich?"

"Blind your dog's eyes, you dare to snatch things from my aunt!"

Several high-pitched female voices were particularly harsh. It was obvious that Jiang Nian had provoked public outrage by asking Jing Ming to purchase goods arrogantly.

"Our son is rich, we are willing to pay twice the money, and Qinghuilou is also willing to sell, what are you talking about!" Jing Ming was also not polite.

"Really?" An older-sounding female voice was a little cold, "It depends on whether you have the life to take these things away!"

Ning Yuezhao closed the music box, and said in a low voice, "Jing Ming seems to be in trouble."

Jiang Nian held her hand, and said in the usual tone, "Well, but it's okay."

At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the private room—"Mr. Jiang, is it convenient for you to talk?"

When Jiang Nian entered the Qinghui Building, he signed Jiang Nian's name. At this moment, those people must have linked this name with the person who was in the Jiangnan business sea a few years ago, and Jing Ming's wanton behavior below. At this moment, the people from Qinghuilou rushed to find him.

Jiang Nian and Ning Yuezhao exchanged glances, and gestured to the maid who was serving in the house.

After the door opened, the person who came in was Shi Yingjie who presided over the auction just now.

Shi Yingjie stepped into the private room with a smile, cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Shi didn't know Mr. Jiang was here, so he neglected it. He still hopes that Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Haihan."

Ning Yuezhao remained silent and handed over the place to Jiang Nian.

Jiang Nian moved his eyes to the place where the dispute took place, and then turned back in a moment, and said slightly contemptuously: "This hospitality attitude of Qinghui Building, I really can't bear it."

Shi Yingjie is the son of the family. Although he has been acquainted with the elders since he was a child, Jiang Nian has not set foot in the Jiangnan area for several years. In fact, he is not sure of this person's temperament. He just sent a steward to him, but Jiang Nian was merciless He refuted his face, and only now did he go out in person.

He said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, it is not easy to get such a few foreign goods in the building. Everyone is making a living in the mall. The so-called favors are reserved, so we can meet each other in the future, isn't it?"

Jiang Nian casually opened the bottle of rose fragrance, and the rich fragrance flowed in the private room.

"I haven't been to Jiangnan for many years. When I saw these rare objects, I couldn't help but want to buy them to please my wife. Anyway, if you open the door of Qinghui Building, there will always be a next event. But for us and my wife, that is After this village, there will be no such shop.”

At this time, the steward of Qinghui Building had already stepped forward to mediate between the two conflicting parties.

Those women were not short of money, even though the steward kept apologizing, seeing Jing Ming's high-spirited look made her even more unable to swallow her breath.

"It's as if your master is rich, and my wife will pay three times the money!" The woman who sounded the oldest said coldly and arrogantly.

Jing Ming sneered and said, "Four times the price, it's nothing to my young master."

Shi Yingjie naturally heard the content of the dispute because his voice was deliberately raised upstairs, but he is a person who has experienced in the mall after all, so he can maintain his composure.

"Young Master Jiang really likes to joke, as long as you think about it, you are always welcome in Qinghui Building."

He now understood what Jiang Nian meant. Jiang Nian wanted to get a share of the imported goods. However, this was the capital of the historian's standing in the south of the Yangtze River. How could he easily tell outsiders this way of making money.

Jiang Nian smiled, but did not comment on Shi Yingjie's words.

At this time, the dispute downstairs has reached the point of irreconcilability, the woman has already called her own guards, and she has the intention of fighting if there is any disagreement.

"You slave probably don't know who my wife is, do you? This is the mother of Mr. Li, the magistrate of Ningcheng!"

"What about the magistrate's mother? Is this Mrs. Li trying to bully others?" Jing Ming emphasized the word "old" when speaking.

Now Mrs. Li was very angry, as long as a woman did not shy away from being called old, she immediately ordered her servants to do it.

At this time Zuo Ming had already stepped forward, and asked Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian if they needed help.

Jiang Nian gave Zuo Ming a peaceful look, but Shi Yingjie's voice turned cold, "Mr. Jiang, please don't cause trouble in Qinghui Tower. You can't bear the consequences of this."

Hearing these threatening words, Jiang Nian turned over his hand, and the bottle of rose fragrance that he bought for two thousand and five taels of silver was just overturned by him.

The fragrance of roses filled the entire room, but it couldn't conceal the tense situation in the room.

Ning Yuezhao frowned slightly, and Jiang Nian smiled at her, "I'm sorry madam, my husband is timid, and I couldn't bear to be scared, so my hands shook a little."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Nian gestured to Zuo Ming, "Since Qinghuilou is unwilling to sell, I can't force him to come back."

The nursing home in Qinghui Building is not vegetarian either. Although Mrs. Li called for guards, most of them were bluffing.

After seeing Zuo Ming again, Jing Ming frowned and said, "What's the matter? I said earlier that I would pay four times more money, but now I can't afford it?"

Mrs. Li sneered and clapped her hands. Immediately, someone came out with bank notes, all of which were worth a thousand taels.

Mrs. Li cast a sideways glance at the steward, "How much money will it cost to buy all of these? My lady wants them all."

The steward wanted to put things to rest now, so he immediately asked someone to get an abacus and quickly calculated the price, "The total is 580 taels. Mrs. Li is a regular customer, so I can combine 500 taels."

Mrs. Li glanced at Jingming, and said contemptuously: "No need, my lady is not like some bumpkins from outside, you don't need to look for 600 taels."

After finishing speaking, her maid counted the banknotes and gave them to the steward.Seeing that Jing Ming was silent, Mrs. Li felt a sigh of relief, snorted softly, and left with great momentum surrounded by maids.

The person in charge immediately asked people to pack the things in the hall and deliver them to Mrs. Li's house later.

Jing Ming moved her lips and was about to speak, but Zuo Ming said: "Young Master and Madam are already in the carriage, let's not delay here."

Jing Ming nodded and followed Zuo Ming out.

After seeing off Jiang Nian and his party, Shi Yingjie walked into the backyard of Qinghui Building with a gloomy face.Qinghuilou made a lot of money today, but he didn't feel happy at all.

In the back hall, Shi Mu, the current patriarch of the historian family, has already told everything that happened before.

"Father, this Jiang Nian doesn't even know what his background is, but he wants to get involved in the business of imported goods. He really doesn't know what the world is like!"

Shi Mu's face was serious, "Although this person is young, he should not be underestimated. Immediately send someone to watch his every move. In addition, Mrs. Li's money will be refunded!"

"Yes, father."

After Shi Yingjie made a bow, he withdrew.Shi Mu's brows were tightly furrowed, and he regained his energy until someone sent a message that someone from Kangyu Palace invited him to come over.

At this time, in the carriage, Ning Yuezhao was leaning against the carriage, playing with the music box in his hand.

"You want to find out where the historians got those imported items from?"

Soon after the founding of Daxing, the southeast coast was harassed by Japanese pirates. In order to stabilize the coastal defense, Taizu ordered the sea to be closed.Historians can rely on openly auctioning these imported goods, which is clearly in violation of the law.

Jiang Nian shook his head, "Is there any other channel, it's nothing more than using the power of the Kangyu Palace to collude with the defenders of the Jiangnan Camp to smuggle these things in."

He paused, and then replied: "It's not difficult to get rid of a historian, but the difficulty is how to get rid of the Kangyu Palace."

The existence of King Kangyu is definitely a hidden danger. Now that Xiao Jingtian is sitting in northern Xinjiang, the last hidden danger of the empire is this southeast corner.

Ning Yuezhao knew that Jiang Nian was not a disrespectful person, she thought about it and said, "You offended the historians today, and now they must be targeting us."

Suddenly, the carriage came to an emergency stop, and Zuo Ming, who was sitting on the shaft, said coldly, "Why did you stop our carriage?"

"We are the police officers of the Ningcheng government office. Recently, a group of refugees have sneaked into Ningcheng. In order to protect the safety of the local people, all foreign vehicles and personnel must be interrogated by the government. Only if there is no suspicion can they be released!"

Hearing this surly voice, Ning Yuezhao knew that Mrs. Li must be looking for trouble.

"Azhao, are you afraid of going to jail?" Jiang Nian asked suddenly.

Ning Yuezhao withdrew her thoughts and stared at him, "With you by my side, what do I have to be afraid of?"

 It's almost over, but Calvin is gone.
