Chapter 4 Epilogue
The emerald green water marks and ripples are distributed in an orderly manner on the round melon peels. A wisp of clear and sweet fragrance slowly floats in the hall.
A jade-colored green melon ball, the size of a baby's head, was placed far away on the top of the top layer in the center of the high platform. Under the blazing red fire, a trace of clear and bright green ring luster was reflected from time to time between the melon skins.
‘Jade Watermelon.’ The last final item of this auction was a very abnormal look flashing in the frame of his eyes. Before Lin could speak slowly, Yang Lin's words "10,000 taels" had already wiped out the last silk purchase fantasy of the second generation ancestors below the stage.
It's natural that since it was Yang Lin's turn to speak this time, Xu Rui should have spoken in person: "Twenty thousand taels."
Yang Lin still looked smirking: "Thirty thousand taels."
Xu Rui snorted, and he chuckled his lips and said, "Forty thousand taels."
It seemed that he had an inexplicable preference for this jasper watermelon. Yang Lin licked his lips and said with a humming smile: "Fifty thousand taels."
Xu Rui blinked his eyes, and he stared at Yang Lin with a strange look, then as if he understood something, he smiled lightly: "Sixty thousand taels."
"Brother Lin, Brother Lin, do you feel so unwilling to accept every time you act when you are suppressed by Brother Yu?" Xu Rui said with a strange smile in his heart, and stared at Yang Lin provocatively, and shook his palms with disdainful gesture on his right wrist.
It was like playing a piano, and his white fingers were gently tapping on the table. Yang Lin's face was filled with a confident smile: "Seventy thousand taels."
Xu Rui swallowed his saliva. He glanced at Yang Lin again with some hesitation, and shouted in a tentative tone: "Eighty thousand taels."
"Ninety thousand taels." After smacking his lips, without any hesitation or pretentiousness, Yang Lin still smiled confidently: "The young master has already contributed such disaster relief efforts in front of him. Could it be that he still doesn't want to give Yu Zi a last chance?"
Xu Rui, who had been constantly turning in his eyes, seemed to be thinking about something, suddenly saw Xing Ao's bitter gaze shot towards him. The bitter and strange thing seemed to be filled with some deep meanings, clearly saying: "Little Master, you should stop when you see it. Why do you have to fight with the young master to the end for this kind of heroism?"
Although Xu Rui had already decided to stop, he didn't think so in his heart. Xu Rui's meaning is very simple. I have spent enough money to suppress you, a little beast today. How could I let you be free and comfortable after getting famous? In the end, this handful of bleeding treasures will be made by you, the little idiot, cry and spend money.
Thinking of this, Xu Rui simply followed Yang Lin's congratulations to him a few times, and smiled strangely with his hands in a slight respectful way: "Brother Lin is dedicated to helping the people, how could I not give Brother Lin a chance? This watermelon seed is better to take it back again and treasure it."
Especially when talking about the word "re-re", Xu Rui felt even more proud. In addition to the first crystal coral reef that opened in this auction, the most expensive one sold is the jasper watermelon. However, since this thing is a treasure donated by your Zhennan Marquis Mansion, it is better to buy it back again and collect it slowly.
Xu Rui's wishful thinking had just been completed, but Yang Lin stood up slowly and smiled at the surroundings and said: "This auction is a complete success. I will take my father and mother to thank you all the young masters for a cup."
The second generation ancestors who had stood up were very happy to praise the auction of Zhennan Marquis Mansion, how generous the people who were enthusiastic donating relief were, how good the young master Xu and Yang Marquis... At this moment, these second generation ancestors were extremely happy in their minds. Although they had not bought any treasures, they finally had a lot of experience. After returning home, they were also a rich topic of conversation when they praised their parents and elders, or friends.
As for the second generation ancestors who had obtained treasures and became famous in the circle, they praised the precious and amazing treasures in the auction site even more happily... At this moment, the second generation ancestors were also psychologically happy when they bought treasures. Although the things that cost money to provide disaster relief for free on weekdays have made famous and made good, they have never gained any substantial gains. And when they bought treasures and became famous this time, they were still treasured in Zhennan Hou Mansion. I am afraid that the elders of the fathers and clans who returned home would also praise themselves for being smart and capable.
Waving his hand to stop the servant who was about to pack up his belongings on the platform ahead, Yang Lin slowly walked to the table and smiled at the surrounding area Ran Ranyi: "Below, I have another major event that I want to announce in public to you."
"Although this jasper watermelon was finally captured by this marquis, Runan was flooded everywhere, and there were countless disaster victims. In addition, the Qi army took advantage of the situation to invade, and our soldiers in Southern Tang were seriously injured and injured..." Speaking of this, staring at the confused look of the people below the stage, Yang Lin still smiled and said with a smile: "The victims have made mistakes, and the great soldiers of Southern Tang have also made mistakes. This last item will be donated by this marquis again, and the next person who took the photos will buy them again. All the silver obtained will be donated by our casualties in Runan to provide full pension."
"Ba, ba, ba!" Ling Gang took the lead and shouted desperately. A burst of crisp applause sounded desperately from his hands. It seemed as if the final closing ceremony of this "condom" was hosted by Ling Gang. He shouted and congratulated Xu Rui loudly: "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to the young master for returning with Bao Rong, with a reputation and a striking kindness...!"
A large passage of congratulations of seven greetings and eight losses was constantly coming from Ling Gang's big mouth, which was flying with saliva. More than a dozen cut into thin, long satin ribbons, like they had prepared in advance, had to be thrown up by three or four little maids from the Hou Mansion who walked out of the passage beside them, hanging colorfully on Xu Rui's body.
His head was in chaos, and he felt that Xu Rui, who seemed to have entered a strange circle, was like a shiny little colorful chicken, wearing red and green. He was so busy that he cursed and scolded him, but Ling Gang was deliberately standing beside him and shouting loudly, and several big men in brocade clothes were clamoring, which was extremely suppressed and overwhelmed Xu Rui's roar. Several of the little maids were ordered in advance, and they kept smiling and constantly throwing some colorful ribbons, broken red flowers, crabapple ends... and other festive things towards Xu Rui.
At the end of the banquet, it became more and more noisy. The two close entourages who had previously followed Xu Rui to attend the banquet and were planning to come up to rescue him were surrounded by three or four large men in brocade clothes that had been rushing up one after another, and toasting them softly without a smile.
The couple of eyes rolled down and almost turned to the roof of the eaves, but they were like blind old yellow dogs. They savored the only half pot of snow-condensed flower dew left on the table. This cold frost flower wine, which was not a man or a woman, was like a ten-full-tonifying soup. They drank the old eunuch's eyes white and narrowed the more they drank, and the thinner it became, and it slowly closed like a gap.
Xing Ao's eyes almost glared out, and he shouted helplessly: "It's not my business, it's not my business. If you want to blame me, just blame the young master..."

When the blue sky and red clouds are set against each other, and the sunset glow and the setting sun are the best, the sky under the setting sun is perfect.
The sound of horse hooves rumbling from the official roads in the west of the city was indirectly interrupting Yang Lin's sleep while leaning on the soft mat of the carriage. More than a dozen big men wearing purple ink cloaks and galloping on horses caught up and stopped in front of the Marquis' convoy: "Can the little marquis return in the carriage? The villain has something important to report."
"Brother Sima is back, why are you dressing up?" The man who was asking about the question was surrounded by more than a dozen guards. It was Qin Li, the guards of the Hou Mansion who led the team to Yu Minghua who was waiting for Yang Lin to return to the city a few days ago.
Seeing that the horse rider who was called Sima was standing beside the convoy, and the horse rider who was called Sima smiled slightly and did not answer, Qin Li seemed to suddenly remember something, and quickly dismounted and took a few steps to the carriage, lifted the curtain and replied in a low voice to Yang Lin, who had just been awakened, "Mr. Sima is back, and I will report to the little marquis to know about it."
After fading out the last red pattern from the horizon toward the red blood clouds, it finally slowly disappeared under the sky and no longer struggled.
Looking at the middle-aged man sitting opposite him with a slightly sick look under his pale face, Yang Lin seemed to have thought about something, and asked carefully: "The current war is urgent, and Mr. Sima is not with his father, but he suddenly returns to Jiangling?"
After coughing a few times, Sima Yun, whose expression became paler, nodded and whispered: "The Marquis just arrived in Jiangling today and are now discussing important matters in the jail office. The Marquis personally instructed him to move the jail office to wait for a while, and then meet him after he finished discussing the matter."
"Dad is back?" Although he had already had many associations with Sima Yun's visit to visit, Yang Lin still shouted in disbelief at this moment: "The war ahead is tight, how could Dad suddenly..."
…………
"Ling Qianhu, what is this? What is this??" A hoarse howling as if the ancestral grave had just been dug up, kept ringing from the inner hall of the Marquis' Mansion. He pointed to the "jasper watermelon" on the table, which was the last item on the table, and was covered in broken pieces like the groom's official, and kept scattering on the ground. Xu Rui almost jumped up.
Anger, roaring, almost only violently, could only describe the hideous sound, and it started from Xu Rui's mouth: "Damn, what is this? A Western Regions tribute came to get watermelon egg seeds, and dared to sell me 80,000 taels of silver? You, you, can you rebel???"
"Young Master, you see, how does this one want to buy and the other want to sell are related to rebellion? Besides, even if our Marquis' Mansion really buys and sells for forced purchases, it cannot be related to rebellion. Rebellion, it will be a beheaded."
He pointed to the table gently, and the 'jasper watermelon' that emitted the so-called fragrance of fruits and fruits. Ling Gang explained strangely: "Young Master, look, this is originally the 'jasper watermelon' at the auction. That's right, there is nothing wrong with the 'jasper watermelon' at the auction?"
"Fuck!" Xu Rui slapped the table angrily, like a doll. He was swelling with blood-red air on his neck, and almost bursting his blood vessels. He simply pulled his throat and cursed: "Damn it, are you okay with me being an idiot? Let your young master come and let that damn little, little..., Xiao Lin, come and explain to me what this is... "
"The young master has already returned to the west Beppu of the city. The little man is just staying to discuss the silver delivery with the young master." Ling Gang Ranran smiled strangely: "If the young master has any questions about the treasure, you might as well tell me the next one. But this jasper watermelon is indeed the original product."
"The melon pattern is like jade, emerald green reflects people. The melon body is round and bright like jade. The melon flesh is sweet and the juice is sweet. This is exactly where the jade watermelons come from every year in the Western Regions. There is no wrong place. If the young master doesn't believe it, we might as well follow the melon fruit vendor to ask clearly what's going on?"
It was late at night. The dark candlelight in the inner hall was reflected in the light of the dark candles, and the strange laughter and explanation were heard in the marquis's mansion, and the roaring and scolding were heard from the marquis' mansion, which was far away...
