Clear Wear and Lie to Win

Chapter 235 Auction
In the end, they were given two more nuns who were good at serving pregnant women. Although Wu Yiming became more and more capable in his work, it was his first pregnancy. An experienced nun must be a good one.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see Yun Rong's reward to Wu Yiming. The queen must value Wu Yiming, even Mrs. Liu didn't expect it.

In fact, Wu Yiming briefly told her about the business under her hands, most of which would be sent to the emperor's private treasury. Madam Liu was self-aware, so she also understood how the queen treated Wu Yiming.

Speaking of the ethnicity of the Qing Dynasty, it is also divided into three, six, and nine grades. This grade is about the Manchurian Han, and the status is descending. Call Wu Ya's mother, and the status will be up.

In terms of status, Liu Jiangqing is still a white body. Although he has fame, this fame is really nothing.

This identity is not worthy of Wu Yiming, but Wu Yiming's purpose is to be clean, and her identity is just to recognize her relatives. The real family looks down on her. One that can be grasped by oneself.

Besides, Liu Jiangqing is also a smart person, what Wu Yiming likes the most is that he is not as pedantic and pretentious as ordinary scholars.

Scholars are not scary, but the scary thing is that they are stupid. It is not easy for a woman to survive. If she is too strong, she will easily have a rift with her husband. If she is too weak, she will not be able to catch him.

If you meet someone with bad intentions, he thinks you are too strong, so if you plan carefully, you may do something worse than a beast in the future.

"Master, everything is ready, but Madam said that you must be by her side this time, or she won't be at ease."

Wu Yiming knew that Mrs. Liu had good intentions.

Wu Yiming smiled and said, "Mother might think I'm made of mud balls! I'm not so fragile."

Huan'er also smiled and said, "Master is not made of mud balls. In Madam's eyes, master is now made of jade. I'm afraid that master will bump into it, or else I will feel distressed!"

Wu Yiming was very happy. Mrs. Liu, a mother-in-law, treated her well. Naturally, she would not be ungrateful, and this kind of affection was essential.

"Tell your mother that when the time comes, you will never leave your mother's side."

Huan'er: "The slave will definitely convey the master's meaning to the madam."

Huan'er went out, and another servant girl came in.

"I have seen the master."

"Get up, what's the matter?"

"Back to master, Miss Jin is here."

Wu Yiming smiled and said, "Please come in quickly."

"Yes, the slave will go here."

Bi'er got Wu Yiming's words and went out with a smile.

After a while, Jin Xiaoxiao was brought over.

Jin Xiaoxiao opened the door and came in, Wu Yiming made a gesture to meet her, Jin Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Sit down quickly, I just heard from my mother that you are pregnant with a child, so don't be tired, the child in your belly is important."

Wu Yiming is also happy that he has a child. After all, no matter what he is, he will definitely have a constant relationship with Daqing in this life. Wu Yiming is also looking forward to a child with a blood relationship.

"It's not so easy to get tired."

Jin Xiaoxiao joked: "You don't get tired so easily, but the little nephew in my belly is easy to get tired. I just don't want to tire my nephew."

The two started talking and laughing.

Jin Xiaoxiao's mother and Mrs. Liu have a good relationship. Jin Xiaoxiao's father is the dean of Liu Jiangqing Academy, and he also handed in books on weekdays. Liu Jiangqing also took his class, so he is considered to be Jin Xiaoxiao's father's student.

So Wu Yiming and Jin Xiaoxiao walked around more on weekdays. Jin Xiaoxiao has a good temperament. Although Wu Yiming was not raised by the Puritan, he has lived for so many years and knows how to get along with the people here.

Both of them are clear people in their hearts, and they hit it off, so they settled down, like good girlfriends now.

As we talked, we talked about the imperial examination.

"I heard from my husband that you did well in the academy exam this time?"

Jin Xiaoxiao: "The grades are not bad, my father is quite satisfied."

Wu Yiming smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'm not satisfied with Mr. Zhang!"

Jin Xiaoxiao's face turned red instantly.

"What did my sister say!"

Now Wu Yiming smiled even more happily.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, has the date been settled yet?"

"Mother is already negotiating, and it will be soon." After all, she is not young, and Zhang Mingxuan is now in her early twenties.

Zhang Mingxuan listened to the conversation between Jin Xiaoxiao and the maid by chance that time, and didn't take it seriously. Later, when he met him by chance, he didn't pay much attention to it. Later, he was good at school and was valued by Jin Xiaoxiao. He thought he could be a son-in-law, so he observed him He asked Zhang Mingxuan what he wanted, but Zhang Mingxuan thought of Jin Xiaoxiao.

Zhang Mingxuan didn't object. Zhang Mingxuan won the competition this year, and his ranking was not bad, thirteenth.

Liu Jiangqing is also gone this year. His ranking is much better than Zhang Mingxuan, he is older than Zhang Mingxuan, he also works hard, and his resources are much better than Zhang Mingxuan, so he got No.2. Although he is the top of the list, the top three are not far behind. , Sometimes it depends on luck, it depends on the examiner's preferences.

After Zhang Mingxuan won the election, the two families began to discuss the marriage.

Zhang Mingxuan was also willing to marry the dean's daughter. First of all, he hoped that his future wife would be able to support the appearance and be well-educated. After all, his identity and background doomed that his parents could not cover everything, so his wife must be able to support the family's face in the future.

Jin Xiaoxiao was raised by her mother as a clan wife, and she has learned everything about housekeepers and other things, and she has learned them all, and she has learned them well.

Secondly, Zhang Mingxuan has self-knowledge. Marrying Jin Xiaoxiao with his status is already a low marriage. Besides, he is in the capital and has seen a lot. Daughters marry at low prices to prevent their daughters from being bullied, but in some families, the purpose of arresting sons-in-law is to get rid of bad-mannered women in the house.

He doesn't have much ability, if not getting married, Jin Xiaoxiao is the most suitable.

Temperament, talent and identity.

"It's settled. By the way, today my husband said that he will bring Mr. Zhang over."

Jin Xiaoxiao: "Come here as soon as you come, and no one will stop you."

Wu Yiming laughed when he heard this.

Not long after, Mrs. Liu came, seeing that Jin Xiaoxiao was there, and knowing that she had basically settled down, she couldn't help joking a few more times, and Jin Xiaoxiao inevitably blushed again.

Liu Jiangqing and Zhang Mingxuan also came, because Jin Xiaoxiao and Zhang Mingxuan had already passed Minglu and were already engaged couples, so they didn't care about it.

But in order to avoid too many people, there is still a screen between men and women. The private room is not big, and a screen will not hinder the conversation.

They chatted in the private room, and soon people entered the auction room one after another, and most of the people sitting below participating in the auction were butlers.

After all, there is indeed no unique private room in the auction, but the voices in the private room can also be heard.

That's why many people don't want to be squeezed under people, so they open a private room, and then let the housekeeper or servants in the house participate in the auction.

When everyone arrived, Wu Yiming ordered the auction to start.

Bicycles are auctioned one by one. Thirty bicycles are not many. The starting price of the first bicycle is not high (for wealthy families), only 100 taels of silver. rise.

Since it was the first one, Wu Yiming originally thought that the price would not rise too fast, but who knew that the price would reach 500 taels in the blink of an eye, and the bidding posture below one after another, it can be seen that this is just the beginning!

Wu Yiming had an estimate in her heart, and she also knew that the publicity was in place, and the style of the bicycle had also improved. She knew in her heart that the price should be good for something that was used as a reward by the royal family, but the appearance of each bid was still beyond her expectations.

Wu Yiming was surprised when he saw money, let alone other people.

Mrs. Liu and Liu Jiangqing don't interfere too much with Wu Yiming's business on weekdays. Although they know that this shop brings money quickly, this is the first time they feel so clearly and directly.
