Nangong Jing sipped his tea, looked at her indignant expression, and silently raised the corners of his lips. He had to admit that she was quite cute like this.

"What is the identity of that loyal marquis? He is so arrogant to you. If he knew that your eyes have been cured, wouldn't he be so angry that he would die?"

Lin Jiuxi didn't care about his image at all. He picked up a bunch of grapes and stuffed them into his mouth.

Nangong Jing put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the scenery in the distance, and slowly said: "He is the emperor's father-in-law. His daughter has already sat in the position of imperial concubine and holds real power. Moreover, the emperor usurped the throne - forget it, it's nothing."

Nangong Jing suddenly stopped talking halfway through his words. Lin Jiuxi turned his head in surprise, only to see that the light in his eyes quickly dimmed, and even a hint of hatred flashed across his eyes, but only for a moment.

When she wanted to take a closer look, the expression disappeared again, as if it was her hallucination, which made her suspicious. Could there be some hidden secret behind all this? "An old man who bullies the weak and fears the strong."

After spitting out the core in his mouth, Lin Jiuxi did not forget to step on it twice to vent his anger.

"Ten thousand taels."

The latest chapter of this novel will be published on 6>@/9 Book# Bar. Please go to 6>@/9 Book# Bar to read it!

Lin Jiuxi was very curious about what kind of family could allow him to say such bold words.

"Okay, but what did you mean by the code you exchanged when you came in earlier?"

With Yunze appearing on the auction stage, the auction officially began.

"One thousand taels, this is robbery, right?" Lin Jiuxi curled the corners of his mouth, a little worried about the property of Prince Duan's Mansion.

"Yeah," Nangong Jing nodded, looking into the distance: "It's started."

The filming was about to start. Lin Jiuxi straightened his expression and sat up. Nangong Jing beside him also gradually became serious.

"That teahouse is the predecessor of Linglong Pavilion. Most people enter the auction at noon. I will first explain my purpose. Silver flowers are the main signature of their teahouse. The best silver flowers refer to the room we are sitting in now."

"What else? Or - just think of it as me just being able to stand up for the weak."

Meeting Yunze's gaze through the curtain, Nangong Jing motioned for her to ring the bell.

“Boom boom boom—”

"There are actually such weird rules. Wouldn't it be nice to make more money? Don't be mean to others, but don't be mean to money."

It's really easy to be touched.

The auction officially began, starting from the leftmost position, but at this moment, there were only less than a dozen people left in the entire auction venue.

She is truly an extraordinary woman.

"bite--"

"What kind of strange rule is this?" Lin Jiuxi was a little puzzled after listening to Nangong Jing's story: "What if none of the three scenes were filmed?"

"How much money do you plan to pay for it?"

Is this how the bidding works? "Each person can only bid for one item at each auction. If you don't win, you can participate in the next one, and you can only participate in three auctions at most."

"You could have just sat back and watched what happened, so why did you speak up to defend her?"

Lin Jiuxi only heard a few sporadic rings, and then it was their turn.

The two chatted idly. Lin Jiuxi was concentrating on fiddling with the things in her hands and didn't notice that Nangong Jing was looking at her.

"The last item in this auction: Dragon Blood Grass, a great medicine in the world, starting price is two thousand taels of silver! Once the deal is done, it can be traded today."

"When the auction starts, the price will be announced using the bell. The more times you ring the bell, the higher the price will be."

"It's just that simple?"

Lin Jiuxi has always been curious about this.

"Linglong Pavilion is powerful. Every auction they hold is for rare treasures, and most of the items only appear once in the world. Because of this, they have many rules."

"The ringing of the bell will be used as a guide. Each ringing of the bell represents an additional one thousand taels. Do you have any objections?"

“Dongdong——”

"The auction is about to begin." said Nangong Jing.

Lin Jiuxi choked and said, well, if you have money you can do what you want.

"What is this bell for?"

They came here only for the dragon blood grass and were not interested in anything else, so they just watched the previous auction as a pastime.

"Um."

The image that lingered in Nangong Jing's mind for a long time was the scene when Lin Jiuxi and Marquis Zhongyi were arguing. That kind of subconscious defense was not like what she called standing up for the weak.

Nangong Jing was attracted by her actions and found it very interesting. The feeling Lin Jiuxi brought to him was unprecedentedly novel. The more he understood her, the more interesting he found her.

Lin Jiuxi nodded, not quite understanding: "So our room is a private room."

Nangong Jing, on the other hand, looked unconcerned: "It's okay, there aren't many people left, so it won't be a big deal for Prince Duan's Mansion."

Seeing that the competition was about to start, she searched for a long time but didn't see anything like a number plate, but her eyes were attracted by the small bell on the table. She picked it up to check. The bell made a crisp sound, which was very pleasant to hear, and she shook it twice.

This was the first time to participate in an ancient auction. Not sure how it would be different from the modern ones, Lin Jiuxi straightened up, feeling a little excited.

“Boom—”

After one round, the price of dragon blood grass only increased by 5,000 taels, a total of 7,000 taels.

"An additional 1,000 taels will be added to Room No. 1!"

"jingle!"

"From this perspective, I'm afraid it won't cost you the 10,000 taels you estimated."

"Then you can only participate in three games."

Three dull drum beats suddenly sounded, and then one could see that the field outside gradually became empty of ordinary people, and some people dressed as servants came up in an orderly manner, carrying various boxes.

Lin Jiuxi rolled his eyes and said, "Since we are already husband and wife, we should share honor and disgrace. I can't just watch you being humiliated by others and do nothing, right? Besides, that old guy is really going too far, I just can't stand it."

The whole venue was filled with the sound of bells, which was not very lively. It was interesting at first, but became a bit boring as time went on.

Lin Jiuxi was secretly delighted. If Nangong Jing's illness could be cured sooner, she would be one step closer to escaping! But the good times didn't last long. Just when they thought they had the medicine, something went wrong.

"An additional three thousand taels for Room No. 8!"

Nangong Jing frowned slightly.

Lin Jiuxi was also a little unhappy, and was very unhappy with this sudden obstacle! "Who is it, so disappointing?"

"Room No. 8, ten thousand taels per session!"
