Chapter 172 I've never seen so much money
While the two were talking, the shopkeeper had already struck the second hammer.
Before the third hammer fell, Hu Siniang followed Song Yunchu's instructions and spoke again, "Six thousand six hundred taels!"
Seeing that she had started again, Du Zhong did not want to be outdone and continued bidding with her. After two rounds of bidding, the price of the butterfly hairpin had been raised to a high price of 7,800 taels.
The crowd was shocked.
The shopkeeper was also stunned for a moment.
The previous sale price of the blue lotus bracelet had already far exceeded its original price. I thought such a good thing would not happen again today, but I didn’t expect that within half an hour, the two guests upstairs started arguing again.
He was somewhat suspicious. They were not here for the treasures, but simply disliked each other, which was why they kept raising the price.
"Your Majesty, she must be plotting against you again."
Seeing that the price of the hairpin was approaching eight thousand taels, Du Zhong turned to Jun Tianyi and advised, "She probably really wanted it at first. When she asked for six thousand taels, the price was already a bit too high. Then she hesitated for a long time and raised the price again before the shopkeeper struck the third hammer. It was obvious that she was not going for the hairpin. She wanted to repeat her old trick and make you lose money."
Jun Tianyi thought for a moment and said, "Then stop bidding."
He had originally intended to compete, but he was unsure how high Hu Si Niang would bid. If he raised the price to ten thousand taels again and Hu Si Niang stopped before him... he would lose another round.
He asked Du Zhong to stop in time, and Hu Siniang had to spend twice as much money, which was a considerable loss.
Let's teach that slut a lesson first, and then I'll deal with her later.
"Seven thousand eight hundred taels at a time!"
Seeing that the shopkeeper started to hammer, but there was no movement from Jun Tianyi's side, Hu Si Niang suddenly became impatient.
"Sir, they actually stopped before us? Why did they stop..."
Hu Si Niang almost tore the handkerchief in her hand to pieces.
Damn King Gou Yi, so hateful.
Seven thousand eight hundred taels, this is almost twice as expensive.
Seeing Hu Si Niang wanting to cry but unable to, Song Yunchu was calm and composed. "It's no big deal. Anyway, it's me who asked you to bid for it. You don't have to pay the money. You don't have to be so anxious."
"How can I not be anxious? It's more than three thousand taels more expensive! Even if I didn't pay for it myself, I don't want you to suffer a loss."
When Hu Siniang heard the shopkeeper strike the third hammer, she cursed Jun Tianyi several times in her heart.
What a stingy guy, he has no courage at all, he stops at less than 8,000 taels, he is really too stingy!
The eldest sister must have dug up his family’s ancestral grave in her previous life, otherwise why would she work for a bastard like him in this life.
Soon, the golden hairpin with a pearl and a butterfly was brought into the private room by the waiter.
"Sir Song is really generous, it's amazing! I wonder which beautiful lady is lucky enough to receive Sir Song's affection."
Listening to the waiter's words, Song Yunchu smiled and said, "Of course it's the beauty in front of you. As long as she is happy, I will be happy to spend this money."
As she spoke, she picked up the golden hairpin, walked up to Hu Si Niang, and inserted the hairpin into her hair bun under her surprised gaze.
Hu Si Niang was stunned for a long time, until Song Yunchu withdrew his hand, she came back to her senses, and quickly put on an expression of great surprise, "Sir, you are so kind to me."
She did not forget that she was now playing the role of Song Yunchu's concubine, so she naturally had to act coquettishly in front of outsiders.
She took Song Yunchu's arm and said affectionately, "I will be so happy that I won't be able to sleep tonight."
Song Yunchu raised his hand and pinched her cheek, "As long as you like it."
The Qianbao Pavilion clerk saw this and sighed greatly—
Song Xiang really loved this new favorite very much.
Jun Li Luo, who was sitting next to him, snorted coldly.
He really didn't like watching them act.
Especially this Hu Si Niang, playing the role of a favorite concubine doesn't necessarily mean she has to be pretentious, can't she act more quiet and reserved? She always rubs against Song Yunchu when there is nothing to do, and has no sense of propriety.
Seeing the waiter leave, Hu Siniang put away her smile, drooped her shoulders, and looked depressed.
"Why, are you still worrying about spending extra money on your real self?"
Song Yunchu said indifferently, "It's only twice as expensive. I just said that I can afford the loss. Besides, don't you like this hairpin very much? It's not a waste of money."
Hu Siniang opened her eyes wide, "Sir, do you mean... you really want to give me this hairpin?"
"What else?" Song Yunchu raised his eyebrows. "Is there another woman here? I only have a concubine like you now. You should be pampered in front of others. It would be decent for you to carry some luxurious things with you when you go out. The more attention you attract, the more face I will have."
Hu Si Niang recovered and touched the hairpin on her head, then smiled at Song Yunchu: "Your Excellency is right, I will definitely make you proud."
"From now on, I will obey all your orders without any second thoughts!"
Seven thousand eight hundred taels!
I've been following King Gouyi for several years, but I've never seen so much money!
Lord Song gave it to her without blinking an eye...
She felt that she didn't deserve it. After all, she had just joined the team and hadn't done anything yet. According to the normal process, she should be rewarded after completing a few tasks. It was unbelievable that she was rewarded before anything had even started.
Hu Si Niang secretly made up her mind that from then on she would be a member of the Song family in her life and the soul of the Song family in her death!
She was just waiting for Song Yunchu to assign her a task. She would do a few tasks for free without receiving any reward, as a way of repaying the favor of the hairpin. This would prevent the other guards in the Song Mansion from thinking she was greedy and looking down on her.
"Okay, let's continue watching."
Song Yunchu sat back in his seat, feeling relaxed.
[It doesn't matter if I spend a few thousand more taels. At least I have a loyal subordinate who will bring me benefits in the future. How can this be considered a loss? Besides, if I spend the money in a high-profile way, people will discuss how generous Song is to his new favorite, and the rumors that I am gay or have a hidden illness will gradually disappear.]
[If there is a loss, it should be the scumbag who loses. With his level of trust, he is probably imagining that Jiang Rumin will reconcile with him after receiving the bracelet. This idiot may even think that he has succeeded in his revenge by making me spend a few thousand more taels.]
[After all, Hu Siniang repeatedly emphasized that he was a stingy man. The bond between him and Jiang Rumin destined him to be generous to Jiang Rumin. In his eyes, women other than Jiang Rumin were like sweeping robots. He wanted them to receive instructions and work hard, but he didn't treat them well.]
[Damn it, I hate stingy men the most. ]
Jun Liluo raised his eyebrows slightly.
As the boss of many people, Yun Chu is indeed very kind to his subordinates. Not only is he willing to spend money, he is also protective of them. No wonder his subordinates follow him wholeheartedly.
As Yun Chu's superior, although he was scolded by her from time to time, it was mostly over insignificant matters. She never complained that he didn't treat her well enough, and even praised him for being generous.
She likes to gain benefits by relying on her own abilities, so he always chooses the right time to help her. For example, when she makes some contributions to the court, she can be rewarded naturally and have a sense of accomplishment at the same time.
And he could also give her some of his personal thoughts while rewarding her.
Two cups of tea later, the fifteenth treasure was presented at the auction.
"Everyone, this is the highlight of our day."
At the auction table, the shopkeeper laughed loudly and lifted the red silk cloth under the expectant gaze of everyone.
On the tray, there is a palm-sized piece of black jade with colors ranging from light to dark, from light ink to smoky ink to inky black, with a sense of layering. Even without sunlight, it has a natural soft luster, like a combination of jade and gemstone, and is particularly eye-catching.
A group of wealthy businessmen became interested and waited for the shopkeeper's offer.
Even Jun Liluo, who was used to seeing gold, silver and jewelry, narrowed his eyes.
The information Chen Yue gave was quite accurate, so today's trip was not in vain.
He turned his gaze and glanced at the fan in Song Yunchu's hand——
Yun Chu's pendant doesn't look good, it's time to change it.
On the other side, Jun Tianyi's eyes were also fixed on the jade on the auction table, and a look of determination to win appeared in his eyes.
This time, Song the dog thief has no chance of winning against him.
