The general's wife through time

Chapter 93 The Eve of the Auction

"...Madam, it is said that in order to ensure the safety of the auction items and prevent fire and theft, no one can bring anyone else in. You can't bring me with you without an invitation. You really need to pay attention to yourself. There are many more this time. Family members of high-ranking officials are participating, and they are engaging in overt and covert attacks, so don’t take it lightly!"

In the flower hall, Mu Xian analyzed a lot of pros and cons without stopping for half an hour. His mouth was so dry that he drank a pot of tea.

Xue Tang seemed to understand why Qin Huangyuan gave the business to Mu Xian. This man's talent was not ordinary. In modern times, he could have gone to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Propaganda Department.

She turned over a page of the book with a normal expression and said lightly: "Yes."

Mu Xian: "!!!"

Just, it’s over? !

Qin Mingrui and Qin Mingshu, who were sitting next to them and were being influenced by what they heard and saw. Fortunately, Qin Mingyue was almost asleep.

Seeing that Mu Xian had finally finished speaking, Qin Mingyue sat up straighter and yawned.

It turns out that this is Mu Xian's true face, and there is only one wooden fish between Mu Xian and the eminent monk.

At this time, Si Wei walked in with Butler Qin, followed by Si Fangyun.

The servants were all left outside the door. Si Fangyun was holding two sandalwood carved boxes in her hands. When she saw Xue Tang, she smiled slightly and said: "Aunt, my grandmother asked me to come over and see you. This is her A jadeite bracelet that I have collected for many years was consecrated by a master. Do you like it?"

While talking, Si Fangyun had already opened a box and handed it to Xue Tang.

Because it was given by the old lady of the Si family, Xue Tang stood up, took the box with great solemnity, took out the bracelet and put it directly on his wrist.

She looked stunned.

nice one.

After wearing it, my whole body feels much refreshed.

"I like it very much. Thank the old lady for me. I will definitely come to say thank you someday."

When he said this, Xue Tang had a faint smile on his face, like a spring breeze.

Si Fangyun was stunned. It turns out that Xue Tang is so happy from the bottom of his heart!

Next to him, Mu Xian understood Si Fangyun's thoughts and thought: She should like it, but she was not happy from the bottom of her heart. When she was really happy, it was when she received Shangguan's money-seeking ticket and she smiled so much. She was very open-minded, but this time it might be that Si Wei was around and she couldn't show it off.

Qin Mingrui, Qin Mingshu, and the sleepy Qin Mingyue had just finished greeting Si Wei.

Si Wei coughed slightly and said: "It's the first time for my younger siblings to participate in the auction. My mother was worried that my younger siblings were not familiar with the rules, so she asked me to come over and explain it to my younger siblings. My mother also specially selected a bead that had been idle for many years at home. My younger siblings can try it out at the auction. Test the waters.”

Hearing this, Si Fangyun opened another box in his hand and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Where did grandma choose this?

This isn't something that's been sitting idle for years, either.

This is obviously a fine night pearl that my uncle just got last month.

Seeing Si Fangyun's expression, Xue Tang understood instantly. She took it calmly and put it on the table. "Such a precious thing cannot be wasted. It is just right to keep it in my study. As for the things to be auctioned, I have already chosen them."

Xue Tang raised his hand and motioned to the butler to look at the tea.

Si Weike followed the host's instructions and sat down naturally.

Qin Mingshu's eyes moved and he heard something in their words.

Qin Mingrui scratched his head silently. First Mu Xian and now Mr. Si were talking about the auction, but my sister-in-law didn’t say she was going to attend it!

Qin Mingyue sat back in the chair and continued to doze off.

Si Fangyun was amazed inwardly. It is indeed a fight between masters, but ordinary people really can't understand it.

The little uncle didn't get a definite answer from Xue Tang last time. This time he clearly wanted to get a bead to lure Xue Tang to the auction in order to complete the task assigned by His Majesty. Xue Tang was telling the little uncle that she had planned to go there for a long time. Yes, leaving the beads is a token of my uncle's love.

On the other side, Qin Mingqi had just finished washing up, greeted Aunt Yu, and hurried from the backyard to the front yard with a long and narrow box.

Early this morning, he squatted in the backyard to supervise the work.

He began to dig out his secret passages and secret rooms. Although his sister-in-law drew the drawings and asked Qin Lu to watch them, he still felt relieved that he could watch them himself. At first, Butler Qin sent someone to call him. When he heard that Mu Xian was here, he felt that there was nothing to listen to or learn, so he did not go to the flower hall.

But now that Si Wei is visiting, he must come forward.

Not only because Si Wei is a talented man, you can learn a lot by listening to his conversation and observing his behavior, but also because Si Wei is about to become his husband. He failed to show favor to Si Wei last time, so he has to make up for it this time.

His mother also said that the apprenticeship ceremony given to him by his sister-in-law has been prepared. If he does not show up today, he will not be able to receive a good education in the future. It is no wonder that others really deserve it.

After crossing the hanging flower gate, Qin Mingqi met Qin Mingzhi face to face as soon as he turned a corner.

Seeing the young man in black clothes across from him, Qin Mingzhi was stunned and subconsciously stretched out his hand to tighten the peace charm around his waist.

He said that his eyelids started to twitch early in the morning, but nothing happened until the end of the day. It turned out to be waiting for him at this corner!

Others have adventures around the corner, but he encounters evil stars around the corner.

He moved his stiff expression, and just as he was about to say hello, Qin Mingqi had already walked into the flower hall.

It's not like this is outside. Qin Mingqi didn't bother to pretend to be knowledgeable and sensible, so he just ignored Qin Mingzhi if he didn't want to.

Qin Mingzhi: "..."

Well...it's better to ignore him than to make him stupid!
Qin Mingzhi wandered into the flower hall and happened to see Qin Mingqi saluting Si Wei and giving him a jade belt.

Si Wei also got a handful of green onions from somewhere and gave them to Qin Mingqi.

Onion, smart and smart.

The teacher will give such a greeting gift to a disciple he likes.

But isn’t that a gift for enlightened children? How could Si Wei have the nerve to give it away? !

Qin Mingzhi was confused for a while, and suddenly he saw two sandalwood boxes on the table, and the alarm bells blared in his mind.

A luminous pearl is already worth a lot of money, and the gift box looks like a bracelet...

His eyes subconsciously moved to Xue Tang's wrist.

A priceless jade bracelet!
He broke out in a cold sweat, and his hands holding the box tightened.

How could he get hold of these ten black pearls the size of soybeans?

The last time I gave him a gift was when my boss was in danger, and this time it was the same. Did the Si family specifically send him down?

Qin Mingzhi was thinking of countermeasures, and then Xue Tang suddenly said: "Qin Mingzhi, are you okay?"

Xue Tang's tone was cold, giving people a sense of pressure.

"No, it's nothing serious. I just accidentally got a few pearls and sent them to my wife." Qin Mingzhi gave the gifts to his wife, paused, and lowered his voice unconsciously, "There will be an auction in a few days. The patriarch’s wife said that if she is willing to show her favor, you will be invited to attend.”

The auction, this kind of game, was something his eldest brother came back from studying traditional Chinese culture in South Vietnam three years ago. He felt that Xue Tang must have never heard of it, and now it is His Majesty's initiative to hold it. This time it will definitely whet Xue Tang's appetite. Xue Tang looked at their family with admiration.

Unexpectedly, Xue Tang just responded lightly, "It will depend on the situation."

Qin Mingzhi: "..."

Is this over?

Didn't you even ask him what the auction would be like?

There are some novel things inside!
Xue Tang glanced at him lightly, "Is there anything else?"

"No, it's okay." He glanced at Qin Mingqi and Si Wei and left in a hurry. When he left, his steps were twice as fast as the last time.

Si Wei glanced at Qin Mingzhi's figure with a strange expression, and then glanced at Xue Tang, who was calm and composed, with his peripheral vision. Without saying anything, he began to explain to Qin Mingrui and others about the start of classes the next day.

Xue Tang continued to flip through the book in his hand.

Mu Xian and Si Fangyun, who were sitting at the door, whispered for a long time. Si Fangyun's ears almost felt like calluses. They could sum it up in just a few words: Go to the auction and take good care of Xue Tang...
