Chen was very curious when she looked at the fairy-like Zhao Mingyue and the little girl beside her. She was the most noble woman in the whole Nanli except for the queen.
The princess of the first rank was about to bow to them when she came in, but was stopped by Zhao Mingyue.
"Madam, there's no need to be so polite. Everyone here is family, so there's no need to be so polite. You are Juan'er's mother-in-law, and you are also my elder. From now on, when only family members are here, don't be so polite."
Seeing that Zhao Mingyue was not being polite, Chen agreed and then started talking to the old lady.
The two of them were talking about their own children and grandchildren, and the two old ladies soon found themselves chatting together.
Fengjiu sat obediently on the stool and listened to her family chatting, while Zhao Mingjuan fed her some snacks from time to time.
This auction was originally dedicated to the sale of elixirs, but it also included some antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and jewelry.
When the time came, a beautiful woman came up to the auction table. She had a hot body and was dressed very sexy. At first glance, you could tell that she was very special.
She is not as charming as the girls in the brothel, and her whole temperament makes her look cold and charming.
The woman walked towards the auction table, wearing a pair of white gloves. She said with her red lips: "Thank you all for taking the time to attend the auction held by Mingyue Tower. As you all know, the items auctioned this time are mainly medicinal pills.
We will not demonstrate the effects of the pills today. Everyone knows the effects of the pills, and we at Mingyue Tower will not do anything that would damage our reputation. Today we have three beauty pills, one beauty pill, and ten recovery pills.
Everyone knows the effects of beauty pills, but everyone is unfamiliar with beauty pills and recovery pills, right?
Dingyan Dan is just as its name suggests. After taking Dingyan Dan, your complexion will not change for thirty years.
As long as there is still a breath in the body, the person can be saved by taking one of the recovery pills. Without further ado, the auction begins, and the first one is the beauty pill.
The lowest price is 80,000 taels of silver. If you want to bid, raise your hand."
Soon the guests below raised their bids one by one, and the price went from 80,000 taels to 280,000 taels.
The first beauty pill was sold for 350,000 taels and was bought by a woman on the second floor.
At this time, Fengjiu's eyes were sparkling, and Xiaoqianqian was waving at her.
Several items here are jewelry and the like. Feng Laosi also bought two pieces. The other customers were not interested in these.
The final thirteen pills were sold for a total of 5.4 million taels of silver.
Feng Laosi also bought a lot of jewelry, and the waiter delivered the jewelry Feng Laosi bought to the box.
Feng Laosi took a tray and went into the inner room. The things on the tray were all for the women in the inner room, even Zhao Mingjuan's mother-in-law had a share.
Chen felt very embarrassed. She hadn't given gifts to the younger generation yet, but the younger generation had given gifts first.
After being persuaded by Old Lady Feng, Chen finally accepted the gift. The sisters-in-law were not polite to their own family members, so they accepted it as long as their younger brother bought it.
Originally, Chen came here today to bid for a recovery pill. Mingyue Tower mentioned the effects of the pill during its promotion.
Fengjiu also saw Chen raising the sign. She climbed down from the stool and pulled at Chen's clothes.
When Chen saw that it was Fengjiu, she smiled and said, "What's wrong, Nannan?"
Feng Jiu: "Grandma, do you want some pills too? Nannan has some."
Chen felt a little embarrassed. Her eldest son served in the Imperial Guard and his life was often in danger, so she wanted to take a picture for her eldest son.
She felt a little embarrassed when Fengjiu mentioned this.
Fengjiu also noticed her discomfort and took out a porcelain bottle from her small bag and gave it to her.
Chen refused. How could she accept such an expensive gift?
Feng Jiu saw that she didn't accept it: "Grandma is good to my aunt, Nannan is willing to give grandma a pill."
What I mean is, as long as you are nice to my aunt, I won’t treat you unfairly.
Zhao Mingjuan, who was standing by, was moved by the little girl and was supporting her.
Zhao Mingyue: "Auntie, please accept it. I have a simple personality and I like to act like a spoiled brat at home. I hope you can be more tolerant of me."
Chen: "Juan'er is very filial. I treat her as my own daughter at home. Don't worry about that. I like her the most among the three daughters-in-law in the family."
Zhao Mingjuan: "Sister, Nannan, don't worry. Mother is very good to me, just like my own mother. Thank you, Nannan."
Feng Jiu hugged her aunt's thighs: "Aunt is mother's favorite sister, and Nannan will protect her. If she is bullied in the future, she must tell Nannan, and Nannan will help her fight off the bad guys."
Chen must have understood what she meant, which also shows the importance of Zhao Mingjuan in the hearts of the Feng family.
Zhao Mingjuan: "Mother, since Nannan gave it to you, please accept it."
Only then did Chen accept the pills and promised to be nicer to her daughter-in-law in the future.
After a while, Huo Xiao entered the box. Seeing that there were outsiders inside, he did not take out the banknotes he had prepared. After a few people exchanged greetings in the box for a while, the Chen family said goodbye and left first.
After everyone left, the Feng family sat together. Feng Jiu and Huo Xiao chatted for a while before getting down to business.
Feng Lao Si spent 90,000 taels on buying things, and the remaining 5.31 million taels were in silver notes. A large box came up to the guard table.
Feng Lao Si waved his hand and put it into the ring space. When leaving, Feng Jiu gave Huo Xiao a Dingyan Pill.
Huo Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, "Uncle, you should take it. You are already old and you haven't found a wife yet. If you take this pill, you can trick those young girls who have never seen the world into marrying you."
Huo Xiao felt like a sword was piercing his heart. This girl's mouth was too poisonous.
He is not old at all. He can get married anytime he wants, and those who love him can surround the marquis's mansion.
Feng Lao Si picked up his daughter and said, "Nannan, how could you teach your uncle to lie? He is so old, how could he harm a young girl?"
Huo Xiao: ???
Damn, are these father and daughter here to stab me?
Before he could retort, the father and daughter had already gone out.
Huo Xiao almost vomited blood.
The next day, Zhao and Nanny Li discussed sending invitations to each family, and the banquet was scheduled for the 22nd day of the first lunar month.
Zhao invited several sisters-in-law to come and discuss the matter, and everyone arranged their own affairs.
Zhao is pregnant now, and her sisters-in-law don't let her work hard, but only let her receive the female guests.
The male guests are taken care of by Feng Laosi and his brothers, the eldest sister-in-law is in charge of the kitchen, the second sister-in-law is in charge of tea and pastries, and the third sister-in-law is responsible for arranging rest rooms for the female guests.
Seeing that everything was almost arranged, Nanny Li also took out the list she had prepared, which included all the families to whom invitations were to be sent.
This matter was handed over to the boys at home. The boys can write very elegantly now, so they are more than capable of writing an invitation.
After the arrangements were made, everyone went about their own business.
