The general's wife through time

Chapter 106: Duan Yan was photographed as a warning
Ms. Xie calmed down and pretended not to know that her man had been tricked. She stood up, turned around and looked behind her, at her sisters who were good friends in the past, and said with a troubled expression: "Everyone, please help and support the scene." , I will definitely thank you properly afterwards."

The ladies all bowed their heads and pretended to be deaf and blind.

Few people present today are stupid. Although they did not see the flash of calculation in Xie's eyes, they have long understood that Si Fangyun, Mo Bai, Duan Jingchen, and Xue Tang are obviously Targeting the Pei family. Although they didn't know why, they felt that they should keep a low profile in the face of the strong alliance of the four people.

"One hundred and one hundred thousand taels, three times, deal done! Congratulations to Mr. Pei Jianpei for successfully photographing His Majesty's warning inkstone!"

Mo Bai stood up and took the lead in applauding, "Congratulations, congratulations!"

"I'm sorry, uncle, I didn't know that Xue Tang could sleep on such an occasion. I originally wanted to call for 120,000 taels, but I was too late. But this is a royal thing. Uncle, take it home. If you can still hold up the scene, it's not a loss if it's a family heirloom." After shouting, Mo Bai deliberately approached Pei Jian, whispered an apology and comforted him a few times.

Pei Jian's face turned pale as he comforted him.

You are one beat too late, you are seventy, eight or ninety beats too late!
Mo Bai straightened up, raised his hand and patted Pei Jian's shoulder, and said seriously: "With Duan Inkstone as a warning, my cousin of yours will definitely grow into a pillar of the country. Your Majesty knows that Mr. Pei supports him so much, and he will definitely I will keep Mr. Pei in my heart, and the people in the north who have suffered from war will also be grateful to Mr. Pei for his donation, and to the ancestors of the Pei family."

Xie's face turned pale, she covered her heart, sat back, and scolded Mo Bai a thousand times in her heart.

She thanks you, eight generations of Mo family ancestors!

And Xue Tang, she was the one who started it, and she also pretended to be asleep on purpose. This matter is never over!

Duan Jingchen: "Congratulations!"

Si Fangyun: "Congratulations!"

Hearing the voices of these two people, Xie bit her lip hard. These two idiots, who were just muddying the waters, were waiting for her.

……

Congratulations came one after another all around.

"Sir Pei Jianpei, this is the transaction document, please sign it!"

The master held the document and came to Pei Jian at some point, as if he was afraid that he would run away later and deny his account.

Pei Jian felt a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat. He beat his chest, suppressed a mouthful of old blood, took a pen and paper, wrote in black and white, signed and made a deposit.

The master collected the documents and did not forget to tell him, "Sir Pei, Boss Mo has asked His Majesty the Imperial Army for help. After the auction is over, the Imperial Army will personally go to your house to move the money. Don't be nervous or panic when the time comes."

Hearing this, everyone twitched their lips.

Why does this sound like a house raid? !

Pei Jian: "..."

He pinched his fingers and thought: Didn't His Majesty say that only 30% of the money will be used for disaster relief in the north? With the relationship between his wife and Mo Ran being as close as mother and daughter, he could get the remaining 77,000 taels back from the Mo family afterwards, which was equivalent to buying back the imperial palace for only 33,000 taels. It’s still a cultural relic from the previous dynasty, so it’s not a loss!

After he figured it out, his eyes lit up and he felt relieved.

Ms. Xie had been paying attention to her husband's activities. When she saw this, she suddenly felt blessed. After she figured it out, she felt much better.

Mo Bai originally planned to let the master continue, but when he saw Pei Jian's calculating eyes, he felt like his face was shattered by the abacus beads. He couldn't help it and waved to the young apprentice brought by the master not far away.

The young apprentice immediately understood and held the Duan Inkstone in his arms and handed it to Pei Jian.

Mo Bai reminded him lukewarmly: "Uncle, you have to take care of your royal belongings. If you accidentally touch them, it will be a sin."

Pei Jian's expression had already softened, but when he took the Duan Inkstone and looked at it, his eyes immediately darkened. He recognized this Duan Inkstone.

It was a piece of material that he got by chance when he went to the southern border to control floods that year. Later, he spent eleven taels of silver to ask a craftsman to make an inkstone and presented it to His Majesty. There are still scratches on the end of the inkstone that he accidentally left. …

No, that's not the point.

The point is that cautionary tale.

Could it be that His Majesty knew something and was reminding him?

No, no, his career has always been carried out secretly, and Mo Ran's people help to cover it up. The secret room in the Qin Family School has been destroyed, and everyone is dead. All of this will not be discovered. It's all a coincidence. He can't be unfounded. He will be more likely to be caught if he messes up his position. As long as he still acts cautiously, he will be fine.

After quickly completing his mental preparation, Pei Jian happily put away his inkstone, sat down, and continued to watch the auction.

That's right, he has made up his mind. From now on, he will just be a spectator. No matter how others deceive him, he will not speak impulsively.

When Mo Bai saw his expression, he knew that he had finished consoling himself, but he still had no repentance.

So, destroy!
Something suddenly flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but look at the crowd, and his eyes finally locked on Xia Mingze, the Minister of Household Affairs.

Xia Mingze, as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, may not be as good at calculating as Pei Jian, the Minister of the Ministry of War.

Meeting Mo Bai's appraising gaze, Xia Mingze covered his eyes.

Don't look at him, he is just here to watch the fun. He really has no money. His wife has spent all his monthly salary, and he can only drink good wine once every first day of the new year.

Looking at Xia Mingze's pale gray gown and his frail look, Mo Bai shook his head.

It’s true that Xia Mingze’s character is hard to say, but he’s so cowardly!

Fortunately, this was a capital city with good political connections and people. Otherwise, if a thief came to such a household minister, he would have been so frightened that he led the thief into the treasury before the thief could threaten him.

Next, the auction began for the tea bowl that Emperor Jingkang broke when he beat Mo Bai, and the paperweight that was broken in excitement. Although the tea bowl was well restored by skilled craftsmen, it was still too common, so the two items were auctioned together.

Mo Bai raised his eyebrows and asked the master, "What's the story of these two collections?"

He wanted to see what else Si Wei could make up with that white lotus.

The master smiled and said: "Because it is an object that His Majesty has only used for a short time. There is no special story. There is only an instruction from His Majesty, saying that frugality is a virtue. He still uses some repaired objects. I hope everyone We must also be diligent and thrifty in managing our homes.”

Hearing this, the atmosphere at the scene relaxed.

Finally, there are no more frightening stories. They are really worried that this time it will be their turn to be accurately criticized. If they are really targeted by His Majesty, they will be scared to death before His Majesty orders punishment.

Before the master could talk about the bidding price, Mrs. Xia's green figure floated to Xue Tang's side, and she begged flatteringly: "Looking at our past relationship, can you give me these two things? My Xia The adults lacked a drinking bowl, and the father and son also lacked two good paperweights. I photographed them back and found exactly two pieces of paperweights for them to share."

Everyone: "..."

This is an auction, why do you think it's like cheap recycling of second-hand items!

Also, everyone in the capital knows that you, Mrs. Xia, spend money like water. Why have you become so penny-pinching today?
Some people suddenly realized that because it was not for her own use, she was careful about her budget. Just look at Master Xia and her clothes.

You also played the emotional card with Xue Tang. You two seemed to be just plastic sisters in the past, right? ! ! !
