Summary of the previous chapter: Dongfang Qingxue deliberately raised the price of the first lot in the name of Ma Xiaoquan. The person she targeted was Nangong Lei from the Nangong family...
"Hey" Hua Yue also noticed it. She sighed softly and said slowly, "Since no one bids again, then this purple jade wine bottle belongs to that young master!"
"This..." Nangong Lei said, "Master, haven't you shouted for the third time yet?"
Hua Yue said with a smile: "Sir, don't you see that no one can bid for a higher price than you..."
"I..." Nangong Lei was dumb as he ate Coptis chinensis, but had no choice but to sit back angrily.
"Wait for me!" Even after sitting down, Nangong Lei did not forget to point at Dongfang Qingxue and provoke him.
Dongfang Qingxue naturally took Ma Xiaoquan's arm with an expression that said, "Come if you have the ability. Anyway, I have my man to protect me."
Nangong Lei gritted his teeth and naturally transferred his hatred to Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly. He had never wanted to stand out in the first place. Well, these two girls, Dongfang and Beiming, made each other the "enemy" of the Nangong family. It was over. This auction seemed to be unsustainable.
.
...
"Okay, the price of the first lot was beyond my expectation. Well, our buyers are very generous..." Hua Yue made a simple summary, found someone to start with, and the servant came on stage again.
, took out the second lot.
Ma Xiaoquan pulled the two girls in front of him and said calmly: "You two, give me some peace of mind. I also want to take a good look at the final lot. Well, if anyone yells again, I won't give her pocket money."
"Oh, okay," the two women looked at each other and said in unison.
"Well, that's pretty much it." Ma Xiaoquan nodded with satisfaction.
...
Sure enough, after being settled by Ma Xiaoquan, the two girls from Dongfang and Beiming stopped bidding wildly on the next two lots after they came on stage. Ma Xiaoquan was very relieved.
After the fourth auction item came on stage, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly felt a little pain in his stomach, so he stood up and settled the two girls: "I'm going to use the toilet, and you guys just keep going. Brother Hua, and my two sisters-in-law, just help me take care of it. I'll go."
Go and come back."
Hua Ming nodded: "Okay"
...
With his physical problem solved, Ma Xiaoquan walked toward the auction house with satisfaction.
Several young men walked out of the venue. Ma Xiaoquan looked at their sad faces and said with a smile: "What? Are you guys going to leave?"
Several young masters raised their heads and looked at Ma Xiaoquan, but their expressions were very complicated. One of them said: "Brother, I think you should go back and take a look..."
"What's wrong?"
"Well, there's some trouble anyway, haha..." After saying that, they left.
Ma Xiaoquan shrugged: "Trouble? Isn't it just an auction? What's the trouble?" With that, Ma Xiaoquan walked back to the auction house.
Sitting back in his seat, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly found that some of the buyers around him were looking at him with strange eyes.
"What's wrong? There are flowers on my face?" Ma Xiaoquan subconsciously touched his face, reached out and poked Hua Ming, asking him to take a look.
Hua Ming lowered his head, as if he had something to hide.
"Huh? Brother Hua, what's wrong? Do you want to go to the toilet too?"
Hua Ming raised his head, looking miserable: "Brother Xiao Ma, I tried my best."
"Try your best? What try your best?" Ma Xiaoquan asked doubtfully.
"Well, let's ask the two sisters-in-law about this?"
Ma Xiaoquan felt something was wrong when he heard this, and quickly asked the two girls: "What did you two do again?"
Bei Mingxue shrugged and said, "I didn't do anything. We followed your wishes and didn't buy anything."
Hua Ming smiled bitterly and interjected: "Brother Ma, the two sisters-in-law didn't buy it, but they raised the price..."
"Price speculation? How to speculate?"
Hua Ming said helplessly: "Hey, in short, Brother Xiao Ma, you have offended several wealthy and reclusive families now."
"Isn't it?" Ma Xiaoquan was startled. Not long after he went out, he had a bowel movement. Why did he offend all the hidden wealthy families?
Dongfang Qingxue wrote lightly: "Oh, it's nothing. Sister Beiming and I just speculated on the prices of the auction items a little after you left..."
Ma Xiaoquan stared at Dongfang Qingxue suspiciously, and then asked Hua Ming roughly what the auction items were. He didn't know this, but he was shocked when he asked.
"What? A piece of brocade was sold for more than a thousand taels? And it was bought by Ximen... and someone over there?" Ma Xiaoquan almost said Ximen Jing's name.
"Hey, Brother Ma, actually I can understand it too! I can understand it!" Hua Ming seemed to be gloating about his misfortune.
"Go, go, you don't understand." Ma Xiaoquan pushed Hua Ming, and then warned the two girls, "You are not allowed to speculate anymore, do you hear me?"
"oh"
Ma Xiaoquan was extremely depressed. Damn it, in just a short time, all the big families have been offended. These two women won't let me calm down.
...
In the center of the field, Hua Yue said with excitement: "The transaction prices of the first four lots were very good. Well, it was beyond my expectation. Next, let's take a look at the fifth lot."
Even before the auction items went on stage, buyers were all turning their attention to Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan was completely depressed. What are you looking at me for? I just went to the toilet. What's the matter?
Hua Yue was also a little embarrassed. As the person in charge of this auction, the limelight was actually stolen by a buyer. Really, when the auction ends soon, he must meet this buyer.
"Uh-huh," Hua Yue cleared her throat and said, "The fifth lot is a ring..."
On the seat table, Ma Xiaoquan no longer cared about listening to the auction items. He wanted to look at Dongfang Qingxue and Bei Mingxue, lest these two little girls cause trouble to him again.
...
This time, without the participation of Ma Xiaoquan, Dongfang and Beiming, the ring was auctioned for less than 400 taels, which made Hua Yue, who was so proud before, very dissatisfied.
"Yeah" Hua Yue frowned and made a gesture to the audience.
The servants in the audience were stunned, but they still carried out her order.
"Everyone, be quiet." Hua Yue deliberately walked to a place very close to Ma Xiaoquan and stopped, saying, "The next lot is the Immortality Pill, one of the grand finale of the lot today."
"Elixir of longevity?" Ma Xiaoquan shook his head when he heard this, thinking that there is no immortality pill. If there was one, wouldn't there be all longevity people in this world?
