sweet wife little confused

Chapter 219 Auction

"I've sent someone to get the emerald stone, so you don't have to worry." An Xiu'er said.

"That's good." After speaking, Xiao Liu stretched out his hand and said, "Since Madam has already prepared, let's go to the backyard to rest for a while, and I will also report this matter to Madam."

"Don't talk about suing, just discuss it with everyone." An Xiu'er smiled, and stepped into the back door.

Xiao Liu had been leading the way by her side, but he was a few steps behind her, acting very humble, An Xiu'er nodded silently, he took her to the flower hall of the Jade Building, and asked someone to serve her tea , and then proudly said: "Did you see, ma'am, are there many people coming outside? My auction hasn't started yet."

"Yes, you can." An Xiu'er nodded, she also had to admire Xiao Liu, he was indeed capable.

"That's right, it's not me boasting. Those brokers outside are just putting on airs, and I'm the only one who is that powerful." Xiao Liu was even more proud of being praised by An Xiu'er.

"Xiao Liu, don't be too complacent. The auction hasn't started yet. If you encounter any trouble later, can you handle it?" An Xiu'er asked, she was worried about it.

"Also, can you host the entire auction?" She questioned again.

"Of course, ma'am, please don't underestimate me." Xiao Liu said, "Just wait to collect the money."

"That's good, I just bet with Master Fang on stones, and I won some emeralds from him." An Xiuer asked Qiu Yu to hand over the emeralds to Xiao Liu.

Xiao Liu nodded, and said: "This is just right, and then I will have another gimmick. That stingy Master Fang has collected countless emerald stones, but he has never seen him sell them." Xiao Liu said.

"He has a lot of emerald stones?" An Xiu'er asked.

Hearing this, Xiao Liu said, "Yes, he likes emerald stones very much, he is a person who can only get in and out, even some emerald stones of poor quality, he will take them home and carve them into ornaments. I heard that he The family is originally a rich and noble family, but playing with jade is a matter of burning money. No matter how much the family property is, it will gradually lose money. Therefore, he is not as smart as your wife. He sells the jade and then gambles. Shi Cai can come in a steady stream, but this person is just stubborn."

"Xiao Liu, is what you said true? How do you know so much?" An Xiu'er asked suspiciously.

"I'm not the only one who knows about Master Fang. There are many people who know about it. He is so famous, and there are many people who pay attention to him." Xiao Liu said.

"So that's the case, then the fact that I gambled with him today won't be known by others, right?" An Xiu'er said worriedly.

"Where did Madam bet with him? Did anyone see it?" Xiao Liu asked.

"It's in an alley, it's relatively remote, he said it's a place for people to gamble, but no one saw it." An Xiu'er said.

"Then Madam don't have to worry." Xiao Liu said: "Although Master Fang looks a little foolish, he is still very reliable."

"Really? It sounds like you think highly of him." An Xiu'er said.

"It's up to everyone, but I, Xiaoliu, can't make mistakes when judging people. Master Fang is really good." Xiaoliu didn't say the reason, and An Xiuer didn't ask again. This is judging people based on the same This kind of feeling is like Xiao Liu, who obviously has some sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks. At first glance, he looks a little cunning, but she feels that he is trustworthy.

Xiao Liu saw that An Xiu'er didn't want to talk about Fang Yuan, so he pulled the boxes next to An Xiu'er and said, "Ma'am, let me take a look at these emeralds."

"Let's see." An Xiu'er nodded, and Xiao Liu opened the box, and after opening the first box, he began to admire and said, "Ma'am, how much did Master Fang lose to you?" , such a good thing, he is willing to take it out?"

"Guess." An Xiu'er smiled, Xiao Liu opened another box, his eyes widened even more, and said: "Ma'am, it's such a high-quality jade again, I think you really put this square The master was looted."

He opened it one by one, and after admiring it, he closed the box reluctantly, held out his thumbs with An Xiu'er, and said, "Over the years, I don't know how many people have been looking for Master Fang. Buying emeralds, but all of them suffered from him, Madam was able to win these rough stones from him, it is really amazing."

"Really? He wanted to bet with me himself, and then lost, and he has no money to pay." An Xiu'er said.

"This is also Madam's good luck. I think these jadeites can be sold for 30 taels of silver at this auction, so it shouldn't be a problem."

"It's so expensive." An Xiu'er said feeling a little embarrassed, and said, "Master Fang only owes me 20 taels of silver. If I can sell 30 taels of silver this time, I will refund the rest to him." .”

"Madam, you are also an honest person." Xiao Liu nodded, agreeing to An Xiu'er's actions.

After a while, Chun Equinox also brought over the rough stones to be auctioned. Xiao Liu went through them one by one, discussed the reserve price with An Xiuer, and then put away the rough stones.

But these rough stones, he was really worried about putting them by his side, so he simply discussed with An Xiuer: "Madam, I think people are almost here, let's put this emerald stone on a table, put it somewhere else, I will I'm really worried, if someone steals it, then even if I compensate you, it won't be enough."

"That's fine, then we'll take it to the auction stage. It's all jade anyway, so there's nothing to hide." An Xiu'er said.

The two discussed some details about the auction, and then An Xiu'er left. She ran outside and sat under the stands as a spectator.

"Mrs. Zhang." As soon as An Xiu'er came out, Fang Yuan greeted her, "Where did Mrs. Zhang go just now? I can't find it anyway."

"I..." An Xiu'er was just about to make up a reason, but suddenly realized that she was not familiar with him, so she didn't need to report to him, so she said casually: "Just now, there are too many people around Master Fang, so I will go I've gone elsewhere, I don't want to get too close to Grandmaster Fang, or be misunderstood by others."

Fang Yuan originally wanted to invite An Xiuer to sit by his side, but after hearing what An Xiuer said, he closed his mouth and swallowed his invitation.

An Xiu'er found a corner by herself, sat on a chair and closed her eyes to rest.

There was a servant girl back and forth at the side, Chun Equinox brought a stack of cakes for An Xiuer, tugged An Xiuer lightly, An Xiuer opened her eyes, she put the cakes in front of her, and said: "Ma'am, what are you doing today?" Haven't had dinner yet, let's have some pastries."

"The spring equinox, you are very thoughtful, thank you." An Xiu'er was actually not hungry, but in order to thank the spring equinox, she still reached out to pick up a piece of pastry and ate it.

After eating the pastries and drinking tea, she couldn't help but close her eyes and rest her mind. The vernal equinox is just a small trumpet, which keeps chattering in her ear, and she whispers to her to comment on the people in the scene , guessed the selling price of those emeralds, and finally persuaded An Xiuer to eat more.

An Xiu'er didn't even know why she talked so much. She was obviously a very quiet and beautiful girl before, but now, she seemed to have changed into a chatterbox.

"Chun Equinox, stop talking." In the end, Qiu Yu who was on the side couldn't stand it any longer and said something to her. Only then did Chun Equinox realize that An Xiu'er hadn't responded to her for a long time, and then shut up resentfully.

After the vernal equinox quieted down, the hall gradually became quieter. An Xiuer raised her head and saw Xiao Liu slowly walking from behind the scenes to the front of the stage. Although he had boasted to An Xiuer before, but now , still a little nervous in his heart, he unconsciously looked for An Xiu'er in the crowd, An Xiu'er glanced at him, nodded slightly to him, and he nodded too, then cleared his throat and calmed down.

"Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, I am very honored to be able to participate in this auction. The theme of our auction today is emeralds. These emeralds are owned by two mysterious stone Kanshi masters. I won't say much about them. , and now directly start the auction of the first item."

Xiao Liu clapped his hands while talking, and a slender girl came over with a box of emerald stones. She opened the lid and brought a lamp over. The light shone on the emerald, which was very bright. Each emerald stone is shining with dazzling brilliance.

Xiao Liu introduced: "This is a box of emerald stones. There is a pure glass seed weighing about one catty, two glutinous rice seeds, and five azurite seeds. The total weight is more than six catties. The base price is 10 taels. Now you can bid if you need it."

"Your rough stone is not fake, right?" someone questioned.

"Those who really want it can come up and have a look." Xiao Liu said.

When everyone heard the words, they were really moved, and they all wanted to try it, and many people went up immediately.

Naturally, these emeralds were real, and after seeing them, everyone knew what they were, and bid for them one after another.

Because the empress dowager of this dynasty loves jadeite very much, this jadeite jewelry is very popular in Daqi, and the price has remained high in recent years. Merchants are rushing to this jadeite when they see business opportunities, and they are not afraid that they will not be sold. Just like this box of ordinary emerald stones, they all sold for 10 taels of silver in the end.

When An Xiuer saw the first box, she got off to a good start, and felt relieved, because everyone was allowed to go up to distinguish the real from the fake, so the auction went on for a while, and in the end, although the atmosphere in the venue was still very lively , but An Xiu'er felt a little drowsy, and the frightening thing was that she fell asleep while sitting on a chair.

She woke up again when Fang Yuan's emerald stones were being auctioned. Fang Yuan's reputation was really too great. The venue was very enthusiastic, and the sound woke An Xiu'er up.

However, Fang Yuan's jadeites were auctioned as the finale jadeites. After the jadeites were auctioned, the auction would be considered over.
