Being the King of War's Smart Wife
Price War, Watching Pleasure
THE AUCTION THIS TIME WAS QUITE CROWDED. Although the light rain started to be heavy, but the people were enthusiastic inside. The first floor was occupied by ordinary people and several small officials. Not infrequently also, if the second floor is full, high-ranking people must relent and blend in.
At the auction, the host was everything. This is not the same as the owner of a goods store or restaurant. That said, the owner is very honorable. The emperor himself admired an event like this.
Unfortunately unable to attend, too busy with state affairs. With public funds running low, the auction this time might not be very profitable.
The auction price was also reduced. The owner is helpless. But after discussing with the boss, the owner of the auction was a little confident. Although the status of the owner is the highest in the auction building, but there is always a boss behind the scenes.
Li Chang Su was on the second floor. Ye Tianli already had his own box. From the box, there was a special barrier that could only be seen from within. The people outside won't know who's inside. It's very attractive.
"This place is very crowded. I didn't know that there would be a lot of people coming" he said.
Ye Tianli felt proud and smiled seductively, "Of course. This sight will satisfy you."
Both of them sat quietly. Li Chang Su had just recovered from a fever, so Ye Tianli let the waiter prepare gingerbread and herbal tea to warm up the body.
For some reason, tonight, Li Chang Su felt that something was going to happen. His eyes fell to the other side of the box. With a vision of the god's eyes, he unintentionally looked at the box that was opposite. His heart was a little surprised. Mu Xianzhai is here too ....
Secretly lowered his gaze. It seemed that the man was looking towards the box he entered. Could you already know ...?
But it's not possible. Although Mu Xianzhai had strength in the military, capable dark guards, it was impossible to find him so quickly. This time must be the man was curious about his cloaked figure, right?
"Do you have a crossroads with the third prince?" Suddenly asked.
Ye Tianli frowned. His eyes that admired the crowd below immediately narrowed. Glancing at Li Chang Su who was somewhat dazed while eating the gingerbread, somehow that feeling was a little strange. Tonight, he should have brought one of his concubines to come. But it was obviously waiting for this girl.
Although he had several concubines, there was no legal wife at home. He also has no shortage of money. Not to mention, if the girl he likes refuses to get to the wedding, there is no compulsion. This girl ... Although he was interested in further relations, there was a war king behind him.
He did not want to provoke that person. It can buy everything, but not the price of others. The ruthless and cold-blooded Mu Xianzhai actually had a relationship with Li Chang Su. How could it be separated when it reached the capital, might have something to do with Rongyu.
Ye Tianli snorted, "Nothing. We're just acquaintances," to be honest.
"Should you have known about me and him?" Li Chang Su guessed, slightly sneering. It is impossible not to know. Then he would consider this person a fool.
"This man knows some. Not far ...," Ye Tianli nodded, "don't think too much. This son would rather jump into the lake than provoke the War King."
"...," Please change that word 'lake. Too shallow and not heroic. Hah, the guts of a big boss of this national trade turned out to be only the size of a corn seed!
When the auction started, the audience was already in a fuss. Spokesmen on the stage introduced many auction products well. Prices are in the low to high range. Including Ye Tianli who bid on some items. Surely someone in the other box will raise the price slowly.
Everyone was clear, it was Mu Xianzhai's voice that was bidding. Not knowing what intersection happened, the people below did not dare to partake in the ever price. Even the crown prince present also showed himself in the bid. It was extremely unexpected by everyone, including Ye Tianli.
Li Chang Su frowned, "You said the one who just bid is the crown prince?" Ask.
"Yes. Never seen it?"
"No."
"Hm ... I'll let you see it later. But I'm worried about something ...," he said unsure.
"What worries?"
"You're gonna fall in love with him. Mmm ... This crown prince is handsome and handsome. I heard that his good looks were only two or three points closer to the War King? Not to mention he was the emperor's candidate, three thousand beauties would be made sooner or later."
"....," The man is too narcissistic! Li Chang Su did not care. He had seen Mu Xianzhai's face, wasn't it much different. Then he doesn't care. Everything is the same.
"My face is thick!" Said.
Ye Tianli involuntarily chuckled. He believed. Otherwise, how could the girl turn her face away after seeing him so handsome or beautiful? This red outfit he always wore was so tempting, like a groom coming out of a wedding hall.
But only that girl never cared about him. Really cruel.
Li Chang Su had money in his artifact room. He was quite interested in purchasing a unique green jade necklace. Not to mention this relic a hundred years ago, quite spiritual. He Ze said that the necklace actually had an element of tranquility. Good to bring to sleep.
The simple necklace with the unique jade pendant had a high auction price. Li Chang Su subconsciously made a price. But the other party also did not want to let go. Not to mention, the crown prince had just received a message if his sister could not come because the horse carriage he was riding had an accident on the night market road.
Naturally, the crown prince knew what this younger brother wanted. He offered a green jade necklace. When the price nearly broke through half a million, Mu Xianzhai suddenly bid.
"One million!"
"...," Confusion occurs. This third prince bid, if he won his necklace, for whom?
"One and a half million!" The crown prince will not lose. Again his third brother bids the price. He moved his teeth. The concubine he had brought this time was trying to calm him down so as not to fall into their trap.
Hugging the beloved concubine, this crown prince exhaled his breath. Calm. He must calm down! Other than Mu Xianzhai's irritating presence, he wasn't particularly fond of Ye Tianli either. Huh, this time the two people actually stopped at the auction house. Create image.
Unfortunately, the crown prince had to obtain the green jade necklace for his absent sister.
"Two million," Mu Xianzhai's voice sounded again.
"Three million!" The crown prince replied.
In the opposite box, Mu Xianzhai calmly smiled. Two dark guards are already behind, who's serving. Hearing that Mu Hongzhi was well behaved, he was quite relieved. Otherwise, how would he have to explain this to his aunt?
After a fierce price war, in the end the green jade necklace fell into the hands of Mu Xianzhai. The deal price was five million silver coins. At that very instant, he wrote a check and handed it to the waiter. The check had the seal of the War King's Palace, so it could be cashed in the bank.
Receiving the green jade necklace, Mu Xianzhai had decided in his heart ...
Meanwhile, Li Chang Su who could not get the necklace only sighed. That price is very high. He has money, but not that much.
Ye Tianli had given him an offer to buy her, but it was disrespectful. That way, wasn't he so cheap to receive the goods bought by others?
Not to mention, he forbade Ye Tianli from bidding for fear that Mu Xianzhai would act even crazier. So just let the two brothers bite each other.
The final auction was won by one of the princes. Now there were only a few high auction items that were within the reach of the nobles. Ordinary people could only watch like chickens. Boiling in the hall. Li Chang Su also no longer bid.
After the auction event ended, he and Ye Tianli left the box, walking in tandem towards the outside of the building. The rain hasn't stopped, but it's not too heavy.
The red-clothed man opened his folding fan and offered him a ride. No need to worry about gossip. He actually carried two female servants in the carriage.
Unfortunately, Li Chang Su refused. When Ye Tianli slightly forced her recklessly, the girl almost smiled but did not smile. Under his wide robe, he could feel some people staring. It's really uncomfortable.
"Good bye!" Li Chang Su turned around and walked slowly, disappearing in the crowd.
"Very bad!"
Ye Tianli felt his heart somewhat empty. But it's okay to be rejected. He was confident that Li Chang Su could return to the inn safely. If something happened, his people scattered in the capital could report.
In the end, the two separated. Li Chang Su had to find a new inn to spend the night again. It is impossible to return to its original place. Feeling that if the rain was heavy enough, he had to find shelter first.
However, just as he was about to turn into a fairly narrow path, a tall figure appeared suddenly and pulled his wrist. Li Chang Su was barely aware of the power within others until he was almost caught off guard. But his strength was still inferior to this tall figure.
"Who—!"
Before he spoke, his body was suddenly carried in a bin and taken leaping to the other side which was quite desolate.
His head is a little dizzy. He smelled the smell of trees. Unexpectedly, he had actually been cornered in a tree. Seeing the dark eyes of the tall figure behind the silver mask, he was stunned ...
Why should he ...?
