Chapter 39 Bidding
Ning Chongchen, who sat down, nodded lightly, and explained: "It's the wing of our Ning family. As long as the family is relatively large in the capital, they will book the wing in Qingfeng Pavilion, so that it is convenient to come in for auction, and you don't need to be with other people down there."

"Oh, you mean that in the Qingfeng Pavilion, these wing rooms have already been booked?"

Bai Xi went back and sat down at the table, actually a little unexpected for this news, and also a little curious about the boss of Qingfeng Pavilion.

"Yes!" Ning Chongchen smiled, looked at Bai Xi with deep eyes, and said again: "Brother Bai, in fact, it is normal for your Bai family to book a wing, but you seldom come out before." , if you want to reserve a wing room, you can say hello to the shopkeeper here later, and just give a deposit."

"Hehehe...let's talk about it later!"

"Row!"

"Dong dong dong... dong dong dong..."

The two were talking, when there was a knock on the door suddenly, the door of the side room was pushed open, and a beautiful maid came in bringing refreshments.

The maids with professional smiles put down their things and left quickly. They didn't say anything. As the owner of the wing room, Ning Chongchen was used to it and ignored their actions.

"Not bad!" Bai Xi exclaimed when he saw the delicious snacks.

Ning Chongchen looked up at her, and said with a smile: "Brother Bai, we paid money, so the things we sent must be good!"

"That's true!" Smiling lightly, Bai Xi picked up a piece of pastry, put it into his mouth, and said while eating, "It's fragrant, the pastry melts in your mouth, it's sweet but not greasy, it's delicious!"

"The dim sum here is really good!" After finishing speaking, Ning Chongchen also reached out to pick up the pastry and put it to his mouth, and began to eat.

Bai Xi, who was pouring tea for himself, glanced at him and said with a smile, "The food is delicious. I don't know what good things Qingfeng Pavilion will auction today!"

"It should start soon, and the hour is almost here!"

"I hope there will be surprises!"

"Let's see it!"

Looking at each other and smiling, they waited with purpose in mind.

The owner of the wing room on the other side was also present. His handsome face was faintly gloomy, his deep eyes released a falcon-like sharp light, and it seemed that he could vaguely see a treacherous smile on the corner of his mouth.

This person is the Eldest Young Master Chen of the Prime Minister's Mansion. When he saw someone in the wing of the Ning family, he asked the people next to him suspiciously: "The people from the Ning family are here?"

"Yes, Eldest Young Master, just now Ning Chongchen brought Bai Xi into the Ning family's wing!"

"Bai Xi?" Hearing this name, Mr. Chen's eyes flashed sharply. Although he had never met Bai Xi formally, he had long been thinking about this character.

The Bai family and the Chen family, one martial artist and one civil servant, each occupy a dominant position in the dynasty. At the same time, the two families are also deadly rivals, and they will attack each other whenever they have the opportunity.

The Chen family has long been prepared to clean up the Bai family, but in recent months Bai Xi has appeared in front of the world, especially her playboy style, which has made the Chen family very puzzled, wondering if she is pretending, or if it is the truth. .

"Yes, Eldest Young Master!" The guard standing beside him lowered his head slightly, and responded to his words with a respectful tone.

"It's not bad that he's here, just let me see what kind of person he is!"

Thinking of all kinds of rumors about Bai Xi, Mr. Chen's cold lips evoked a hint of sarcasm, and that unruly coldness made the guards next to him feel a little suffocated.

The silent guard didn't reply because he knew he didn't need to respond.

Soon, a crisp bell sounded in the lobby on the first floor. Hearing the ringing of the bell, the originally noisy scene gradually quieted down.

As everyone knows, today's auction has started.

When Bai Xi heard the voice, she came to the window, and saw a shopkeeper in her fifties standing on the auction stage, dressed in green clothes, full of energy, with sharp eyes shining.

He is not simple!
Seeing his good martial arts, Bai Xi nodded secretly. It can be seen that Qingfeng Pavilion's strength is not bad, no wonder it can stand tall in the capital.

"Guests, today we are auctioning some good things in Qingfeng Pavilion. If there is any need, all guests, please sell them early, and the one with the highest price will get it!"

The loud voice spewed out from the shopkeeper's mouth, and it was clearly heard by everyone. In everyone's curious eyes, he lifted up the red cloth held by a maid next to him, and a picture appeared on the tray. A snow-white lotus!

"Tianshan snow lotus!"

The crowd exclaimed!

Bai Xi also saw the crystal clear white snow lotus, which was placed in a special jade box, which was particularly eye-catching.

She didn't expect to meet such a precious thing when she first entered the stage, and Bai Xi's heart was also moved. She needed Tianshan Snow Lotus to refine the elixirs of the sixth grade and above.

"Sure enough, it's Tianshan snow lotus!"

Ning Chongchen, who came to her side, couldn't help but let out a soft cry, his eyes were full of surprise, he accidentally caught Bai Xi's eyes, he was slightly startled, and asked: "Brother Bai, do you want this Tianshan snow lotus?" ?”

"Ugh, wanted it!"

Bai Xi didn't hide anything from the other party, and directly admitted that she needed it.

Hearing this, Ning Chongchen's eyes turned to Tianshan Snow Lotus again, he frowned slightly, and said, "Brother Bai, I think there are quite a few people who need it, and the price will never be low, how are you going to take it? "

"Let's see and talk!" Bai Xi smiled lightly, but there was a look in Bai Xi's eyes that promised to win.

At this time, the people in the lobby below kept whispering, and everyone was surprised and excited about the first treasure auction.

Regarding the performance of the crowd, the shopkeeper still smiled happily. It seemed that the more surprised the crowd was, the happier he was, and he was not displeased because of everyone's noise.

After a while, he stretched out his hands and waved to everyone. The bell in his hand made a crisp sound again, and everyone stopped talking, waiting for him to speak again.

"Guests, Tianshan snow lotus is an extremely high-quality medicinal material, and there must be many customers who need it. Our auction house abides by the rules of getting it at a high price. We set its reserve price at 1 taels of silver, and start bidding now!"

The smiling shopkeeper could see the situation in front of him, pointed to the Tianshan snow lotus next to him, and directly offered the reserve price to everyone!
"2000 taels!"

"5000 taels!"

"8000 taels!"

The people in the lobby started bidding, but Bai Xi, who was standing at the window, didn't call out the price. She knew that these prices were all nonsense, and the people who really wanted it hadn't started yet!

"Thirty-two thousand taels!"

"4 taels!"

"5000 taels!"
