sturdy landlady

Chapter 28 Shameless
Depend on!
Gu Xiaoxiao wanted to scold someone a little bit, she knew that there was someone in the private room, and guessed it should be the prince, but she didn't expect the prince to bid for this jade pendant.

The emperor of the Dafeng Dynasty doesn’t care about political affairs now, and concentrates on alchemy in pursuit of immortality. Everything in the court is decided by the prince. The prince supervises the country, just like the emperor, with great prestige. Now that he has opened his mouth to bid, who dares to compete with him ?
Gu Xiaoxiao really wanted to bid desperately, but in the end she held back!

There is a saying that the first bird is shot. Now that no one bids, if she dares to speak, she will offend the prince.

Moreover, even if I bid, I still can't compete with the prince. He has an empire behind him, so he is really rich and powerful.

What's more, she is desperate today, and she has completely offended the Gu family with the Gu family. She will have to tear her face when she goes back. She can't offend the most powerful person in the Dafeng Dynasty anymore, otherwise she will really be unable to move forward. !

"Shameless!" Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but wailed in her heart.

Isn't the prince bullying others?

How does this make others bid?

Sure enough, as soon as the prince finished speaking, there was no one present to bid.

He Rufeng was also slightly taken aback, the crown prince made an offer, if it was something of higher value, the people from the four major kingdoms might take the risk to fight for it, but in their opinion, this jade pendant is probably a dispensable accessory That's all, they won't offend the prince because of this, and his He family won't offend the prince because of this, not to mention, 20 taels of silver is already a high price in his opinion.

"Congratulations, Your Royal Highness, for obtaining this treasure." He Rufeng said in a loud voice quickly, and at the same time knocked the gong in front of him, indicating that the bidding for this treasure was over.

Gu Xiaoxiao watched helplessly as the beautiful lady held the mahogany box in both hands, and took the jade pendant up to the second floor.

She felt her heart was about to bleed.

I don't know who the prince is going to give this phoenix white jade pendant to.

Could it be his future princess, Gu Liyan?
Anyway, it couldn't be her, Gu Xiaoxiao. The engagement between her and the prince no longer exists. How could the prince buy such a valuable thing for a "useless person" like her?
No matter who the prince gave it to, she must find a way to get it in the future, even if it is stolen or robbed, she must get it without breaking her hands.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next thing my He family will sell is the treasure that everyone is most interested in at this grand event." He Rufeng's face showed a hint of excitement, after all... the He family sells Suzaku fruit in public. It is also the second time.

"A second-grade spiritual fruit, Vermillion Bird Fruit!" He Rufeng slowly opened the jade box in front of him, and said with a smile, "What is the use of this treasure, no need to say more, the base price is 30 taels of silver."

"32 taels..."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone bid immediately. It was the white-haired old man sitting in the hall on the first floor. Gu Xiaoxiao still had a little impression of her. She seemed to be an important official in the court, although she was not as powerful as the Duke of the State. , but also very powerful.

"36 taels..."

"38 taels..."

The price kept rising, and after reaching 45 taels, there were no more bids in the hall.

The people on the second floor were also waiting, waiting for the prince to make an offer, He Rufeng was not in a hurry, and kept waiting with a smile on his face.

After a while, when everyone saw that the prince had not bid, the Duke of Anguo on the second floor said, "48 taels!"

"This Jun's family is really rich. It is worthy of being the empress's natal family. I bought a snow winged horse with nearly 30 taels of silver before, and now I want to buy Suzaku fruit... It's terrible, it's terrible..." In the hall Immediately discussed.

In the private room of Duke Dingguo's mansion, Gu Liyan and the others looked very ugly. She looked at her grandmother and father, and hesitated to speak.

"50 taels!" Gu Weide gritted his teeth and bid in a low voice.

"52 taels!" The man from Ruiguo Mansion next door bid.

"53 taels!" The old lady in charge of Duke Jing's mansion also made a bid. Their father-in-law was fighting against the bandits on the sea in the east, and had no time to return to Beijing, so the old lady could only do the bidding.

This Suzaku fruit is worth about 50 taels of silver. Although it is the second time for Hejia Commercial Bank to sell it, there are still people in Jianghu who secretly sold it. After paying 50 taels of silver, everyone feels that it is almost the same and will not increase the price significantly.

"Won't His Royal Highness buy this Suzaku fruit?" In Tianzi No. [-] private room, Tu Yuan, the prince's confidant, asked respectfully.

"No need, Gu has already taken five Suzaku fruits before and after. Except for the first one that has a great effect on Gu, the effect after that is getting worse and worse. The one I just took yesterday...has almost no effect. The effect is no different from eating ordinary spiritual fruits! It seems that Gu will have to try other top-quality spiritual fruits in the future, such as amethyst fruit, but this one is more rare and requires a lot of effort." Feng Tianjiao said in a low voice.

In fact, although he is extremely intelligent and has a good understanding of martial arts, his aptitude is not the best. He is only a third-rank spiritual root, and he also has a third-rank inferior spiritual root.The sixth prince Feng Tianyi, that idiot with well-developed limbs and a simple mind is also a third-rank spiritual root, but he is a third-rank superior spiritual root. His martial arts have improved much faster than him, so he must eat more rare and exotic fruits to improve his physical fitness, but this The extent of improvement is also limited, Suzaku fruit is not very useful to him now, of course he will not spend a lot of money to buy it.

His father also used mostly spirit herbs for alchemy, so it would be futile to buy this Suzaku fruit to honor his father, so he didn't have to waste the money.

"The minister will continue to send people to the Bauhinia Mountains to collect other spiritual fruits for His Highness!" Tu Yuan said hastily.

"Well! Let's go!" The prince doesn't plan to stay any longer, anyway, he doesn't care who gets the Suzaku fruit in the end, the most important thing for him now is to give the queen the Phoenix White Jade Pendant he just bought.

His queen mother has always liked plainer accessories, and she really likes Zhuchai made of white jade. She must like this white jade phoenix.

He has checked it out, and He Rufeng is not lying, this jade pendant does have a faint spiritual power that slowly dissipates, wearing it for a long time is good for the body, and it also has the effect of maintaining youth.

He is still so young, of course his mother cannot grow old, so... the 20 taels of silver are worth it!
As soon as the prince left, everyone felt a lot more relaxed.

"Second child, lower the price!" The old lady of the Gu family looked at Gu Weide and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, mother!" Gu Weide responded, and immediately opened his mouth: "My Dingguo Mansion bids 60 taels of silver!"

After Gu Weide finished speaking, he felt very painful, and everyone in the Gu family was also very distressed, their eyes were all red.

60 taels of silver, this is all they have now. After all, the Gu family's territory is in a poor place like the Northwest. The Gu family's financial resources are actually not as good as those of the other three major kingdoms. It's just that the soldiers and horses under their hands are more powerful. That's all, besides... Without the support of Da Fang, they are really stretched!
