Chapter 601 What's the Backstage?
Xuan'er turned her head and blinked her big watery eyes to her sister-in-law.
Ming Ruo shook his head at Xiao Tuanzi and poured sour plum soup into the cup in front of him: "Drink some sour plum soup first, let's play later."
The auctioneer was still waiting for the bidding of the guests in Room 1, Tianzi, but the auction venue was silent. After waiting for a long time, the auctioneer fell down the auction hammer with blood in his heart.
After that, the auctioneer did not dare to ask people to raise the price at will, and the prices of the subsequent two items did not rise. If you continue to buy like this, although you will not be able to discount the money, you will not make much money.
The manager of "Jubaozhai" made a gesture to the auctioneer, and the finale was not even on the stage, so the auction ended hastily.
"Ah...this is over?" Ming Ruo was a little disappointed. She wanted to wait until the finale came out before she could make another trick.
"Is it over?" Xuan'er was so surprised. He hadn't had enough fun yet.
"Well, tomorrow will make you happy." Mingruo touched Xuan'er's little head, "It's still early, let's go play on the street."
Ming Ruo waved his hand and set off with Xuan'er and the shopping team.
After the auction at Jubaozhai, the guests who took the items checked out and picked up the goods. Four accountants sat in a row, and the abacus in their hands crackled. Today's auction was actually only halfway, and there were not many things to be taken out, and the account was counted.
The manager of Jubaozhai sent away several well-known "rich families" in Yun'an City, and then came to the account room behind: "How is the surplus today?"
"Reply to the manager..." The accountant who had finished remitting the general account spoke in a flash, "Today's income will cost the surplus of 1,137 taels of silver..."
"How much did you say?" The manager's voice raised several degrees. He knew that the opening today was not going well, but he didn't expect it to be so bad. According to common sense, a lot of money can be sold at least for a few hundred taels.
"One thousand one hundred and thirty-seven taels." The accountant's voice was a little smaller than before, and then he added without fear of death, "This is not considered labor, and the loss of the site..."
Manager Zhu's head buzzed when he heard this. The master is coming to Yun'an City tonight. When asked about the opening sale of the auction venue, how can he explain?
"Didn't you sell a Xuefeng sword?" Manager Zhu remembered that the sword was sold for more than 100,000 taels, and he could earn at least tens of thousands of dollars.
"Xuefeng Sword... The last bidding... was given by our people..." The auctioneer who had been hiding in the corner and did not dare to say anything, had to speak.
"Uh..." Manager Zhu patted his forehead, how could he forget this!
The auctioneer also felt that it was not good for the start of the army today, and expressed his doubts: "My manager, this event will not be hot today. Not to mention that it is in the wealthy Jiangnan area, even in the small border towns, it is not like this. People don't know what they have to worry about, but they are very restrained in bidding... This is very strange..."
"Zhaocai, Jinbao, you two go out to inquire and see if someone deliberately makes trouble!" If you find out that someone is making trouble, you can explain to your master.
Xiaotuanzi rarely has the chance to go out, and now he is led by his elder brother and sister-in-law, and he is very happy. Not only did his sister-in-law buy him many exquisite gadgets, but he also bought pastries and snacks to eat with him.
Mingruo picked up a piece of red bean cake and handed it to the small dumpling: "Try this."
Xuan'er took the red bean cake and took a bite, and smiled sweetly at Ming Ruo: "It's delicious."
Ming Ruo also picked up a piece and tasted it. The red beans were soft and rotten and had a faint milky aroma, and it was not very sweet. So he sent a few pieces of red bean cakes held by the oil paper to Si Haochen: "This is not very sweet, you should like it."
Si Haochen did not go to get the red bean cake, but held Mingruo's wrist and pulled the red bean cake she had eaten in front of him, lowered his head and took a bite: "Well, it's not bad."
Mingruo looked at the sky speechlessly. There were children watching him. Can't you be more reserved? Mingruo glanced at Xiaotuanzi quietly. Xuan'er immediately showed an innocent healing smile when she received her sister-in-law's gaze. I was still a baby, I didn't see anything, and I didn't understand even if I saw it!
"..." Ming Ruo was even more speechless. Your expression was so rich that it was simply 'no silver here'...
The three of them played on the street for a long time and returned to the palace after dinner. Mingruo and Si Haochen sent Xiaotuanzi back to the yard where he lived, and Madam Jin was waiting at the gate of the yard.
"Go to bed early later, the child will not grow taller after sleeping too late." Ming Ruo let go of Xuan'er's little hand.
"Yeah, yeah." Xuan'er nodded, "I'll go to bed after finishing my homework."
"Be good." Seeing Madam Jin bring Xuan'er in, the two of them walked towards the main courtyard where they lived.
As soon as he reached the gate of the courtyard, the secret guard came to report: "Master, the fifth prince has entered the city in front of the gate of Guancheng."
"Hmm?" Si Haochen raised his eyebrows slightly. Don't Lao Wu like to stay behind the scenes? Why did he take action in person? "Have you gone to Jubaozhai?"
"No." The secret guard shook his head, "The Fifth Prince brought ten guards when he went out, neither went to the inn nor stayed in the big inn. He then booked a small yard in the west of the city to live in. He should have traveled in a condom and didn't want to attract attention."
"Look at someone and see what he is going to do." Si Haochen ordered.
"The subordinate understands." The secret guard took the order and left.
"He is here, will it be hard for us to confiscate his house?" Mingruo felt that if the fifth prince came to plead with him, Si Haochen, as an elder, would not be hard for him to refuse.
"Not to mention that he left the capital privately and did not dare to show up as a prince. Even if he puts his pride down and asks me... he doesn't know that I am in Yun'an City..."
"What if he knows and uses this as a threat to ask you to return the house to him?" Mingruo asked with a smile.
"What can he have to 'blame'?" Si Haochen said arrogantly, "I did not leave Beijing without permission, but returned to Beijing with orders. I just passed by the fiefdom and stayed for a few days. What's wrong with it?"
"No, you are very 'can'..." Ming Ruo was also convinced by Si Haochen's remarks.
At this time, in the inn courtyard, Manager Zhu lowered his head and reported to the fifth prince about the opening of Jubaozhai today.
The fifth prince slapped the table: "I have invested so much money and treasures in and earned a thousand taels?"
"The prince calmed down. This was all intentional trauma of the 'Qizhen Pavilion'. Not only did an auction be opened tomorrow, but the items were also made into picture albums and sent to the 'rich's' mansion early in the morning..." Manager Zhu's head lower and lower, and sweat beads fell to the ground.
"What is the backstage behind Qizhen Pavilion?" The fifth prince raised his eyebrows slightly.
