Although the Lantian jade bracelet is exquisite, Tang Ji is not stupid enough to spend two thousand taels of silver to buy it. With this money, he doesn't know how much jewelry he can buy for Jiang Ran. The reason why he keeps bidding is purely because he sees it.
I'm not used to Li Xian, he just wants to buy something, but this guy has to intervene.
Since you like to raise prices, then you must be the one to be taken advantage of!
Li Xian was also a little aching. The previous two items in the auction only cost more than one hundred taels of silver. This broken bracelet actually cost more than two thousand taels. However, he was unwilling to compromise. He gritted his teeth and continued to shout: "Two thousand taels."
Another twelve!"
Tang Ji raised his eyebrows slightly. Li Xian added one hundred taels before, but now he only added ten taels, which showed that he had been shaken. There was no need for him to waste time anymore. He pretended to sigh with regret, cupped his hands and said: "Okay.
Well, I give up. Congratulations to the prince for winning this jade bracelet."
Hearing this, Li Xian's face turned slightly gloomy, but thinking about being able to suppress Tang Ji, he became a little calmer. He smiled lightly and said: "Life is like this auction. You never know who loses or wins until the end. Chao Zhong is far better than Mr. Tang."
It's complicated to think about it. Although you are highly valued by your father, the more so, the more some people want to get rid of you quickly. Therefore, it is very important to find a strong person to cooperate. The principle of good birds choosing trees to roost, I believe
Mr. Tang will not understand."
Tang Ji naturally understood this, but he did not want to get involved in the prince's struggle for the time being. Moreover, even if he did have to get involved, his first choice would be Li Yu, so he did not answer.
On the high platform, when the charming woman saw that Tang Ji had no movement, she spoke: "Two thousand and ten taels, is there anything higher?"
No one in the audience spoke, and those who were talking fell silent.
In their eyes, spending more than two thousand taels on a broken bracelet is simply a disease!
Then, the charming woman chuckled, raised her hand and said: "In that case, this Lantian jade bracelet belongs to that young master. Next, we will start the bidding for the next lot, which is..."
On the high platform, Zhou Qingwan put down the tea cup in her hand, stared at Tang Ji for a few more times, turned her head and whispered a few instructions to the maid beside her.
After a long time, the auction came to an end, and most of the guests walked out of the building one after another, while the successful bidders went to the back hall on the first floor to conduct transactions.
Li Xian led Tang Ji down the stairs, and was about to tell Fang Yao to negotiate with the waiter in the building, but was interrupted by a voice from behind.
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin's visit has made the shop shine!"
Immediately, Li Xian turned and looked around. When he saw Zhou Qingwan, he smiled and said, "Haha, I haven't seen her for a long time. Manager Zhou is still so beautiful."
"Oh, it's been a long time since anyone has praised the slave family so much. Thank you, Your Majesty. I wonder if the slave family needs to send someone to deliver the things to the palace." Zhou Qingwan held a handkerchief, gently touched her lips, and said in a charming voice.
Tang Ji couldn't help but swallowed his saliva. He didn't know why, but when he saw the charming woman in front of him, Yue Shuhua couldn't help but appear in his mind.
Li Xian glanced at Tang Ji, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and replied: "Give me that jade bracelet now, and send the others to the house. I will send the silver later."
Zhou Qingwan nodded slightly, raised her jade hand and said, "Didn't you hear what the prince said? Why don't you go get that Lantian jade bracelet?"
"Yes." The charming woman standing behind her replied and walked quickly backstage.
The smile on Zhou Qingwan's face did not change, her eyes slowly moved to Tang Ji, and she said with a sweet smile: "I wonder who this handsome young master is?"
Li Xian patted his head and turned to point at Tang Ji: "Look at my memory. Let me introduce to Manager Zhou. This is..."
But before he finished speaking, Tang Ji took the initiative to take a small step: "I'm going to Tang Ji."
Tang Ji did this to prevent Li Xian from adding fuel to the fire and saying something like "This is my friend." When word spreads, it will be difficult for him even if he doesn't want to be related to this guy.
Zhou Qingwan quickly understood everything. As she thought, King Jin was wooing this boy. But she had heard before that Tang Ji and King You had a good relationship. Now it seems that he is still a loyal little guy, and Xiao Yue is not.
Having misjudged the person, he stopped thinking about it and chuckled: "Hello, Mr. Tang, my name is Zhou Qingwan, and I am one of the stewards of the World Chamber of Commerce."
Tang Ji nodded and said politely: "Well done, Manager Zhou."
Seeing the two of them being so warm, coupled with Tang Ji's attitude towards him just now, Li Xian suddenly felt a little unhappy, but he didn't say much.
Soon, the charming woman came over on a tray covered with red cloth. In the center of the red cloth lay a very delicate jade bracelet. It was yellow-green, had a grease luster, was slightly transparent, and was particularly beautiful. She glanced at Zhou Qingwan,
Then he handed the tray into Fang Yao's hands.
The Tianxia Chamber of Commerce is a well-known family in Beijing, so it is naturally impossible for him to fool himself with fake goods. Li Xian did not look at it and said politely: "In this case, I will leave first."
After turning around, he glanced at Tang Ji again: "Master Tang, I am quite patient and can give you enough time to think about it. This jade bracelet will be kept by me for the time being. You can come at any time when you think about it clearly.
The palace will hand it over to you when the time comes."
After saying that, Li Xian walked towards the outside of the building.
Looking at his back, Tang Ji shook his head. He had wasted the whole morning and it seemed that he could only find other things to make birthday gifts.
After thinking about it for a while, he turned around and saluted Zhou Qingwan and said, "Manager Zhou, Tang will take his leave now."
"Master Tang, this jade bracelet belongs to women. You bought it to give it to the most talented woman in Huaizhou, right?" Zhou Qingwan asked casually, blinking her jade eyes.
After hearing her words, Tang Ji looked wary. She had only mentioned her name just now, and Li Xian did not reveal that she was a court official. Moreover, she also knew Jiang Ran, which meant that the other party knew or had investigated her.
Seeing his appearance, Zhou Qingwan continued: "Don't be nervous, the Nu family is not investigating you. Xiaoyue told me everything about Master Tang and Miss Jiang."
"Xiaoyue? Are you talking about Yue Shuhua?" Tang Ji looked a little suspicious and asked tentatively.
Zhou Qingwan smiled lightly, straightened her sleeves, and placed her hands in front of her lower abdomen: "Not bad."
Tang Ji was stunned. When leaving Huaizhou, Yue Shuhua gave him a token and said that if he encounters difficulties, he can come to the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce for help. Now it seems that the Jianghai Chamber of Commerce may be a branch of the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce. In this way
It can also explain why Yue Shuhua didn't care at all when the Lin family blocked the Jianghai Chamber of Commerce in raw materials.
After being quiet for a while, Zhou Qingwan continued: "Miss Jiang is really lucky to meet a man as affectionate as you."
"Don't take it seriously. Tang still has something to do, so take the first step." Yue Shuhua made people feel very unsafe, but the woman in front of him called her "Xiaoyue". This shows that she is not a simple character, so it is better not to have more contact with her.
Leave a word behind and turn around and leave.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Qingwan sighed and said: "Fortunately, the slave family deliberately kept that piece of green jade bracelet. Now it seems that it has no chance of being destined for Master Tang!"
