The head steward agreed verbally, but inwardly he also felt a certain appreciation for her.
He had already inquired beforehand; the group's bottom line was 500,000 taels, but the young master said he would only offer 50,000 taels at most.
That price was slashed to rock bottom! No wonder he's Yuan Lao's grandson!
Wang Yue and his companions were somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, but fortunately the auction house was still willing to offer the 50,000 taels.
They all knew that their spider silk was far inferior to this water!
After a brief discussion, the group decided to sell the spider silk to the Wangu Auction House for 50,000 taels of silver!
Upon hearing this, the head steward happily led several people to the front hall to sign the sales agreement.
He decided to immediately divide the spider silk into several portions and send one portion to each auction house, setting the starting price for each portion at fifty thousand taels.
Seeing his wide smile, Qin Luo felt a surge of joy.
"Sweetie, let's not eat at the auction house tonight. How about we go eat some local specialties instead?"
"A cheese feast? Will it be filling?"
"Of course! Eat as much as you want, we're not short of money!"
Then Wu Hua's cheers echoed throughout the entire hall.
"Yo-ho! Let's go get some good food!"
The head steward in the front hall heard its voice.
He handed Wang Yue and the others over to the second steward, then jogged towards the back hall.
"Young masters! You don't need to go out to eat delicious food! The best cook in Molie City is right here in our auction house. She can make everything from cheese and steamed buns to milk cakes and milk skin!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Hua didn't want to waste a moment and started to cling to his leg, acting all cute.
"Uncle, please tell her to do it quickly! I'm starving, hurry, hurry!"
The head steward couldn't resist its adorable antics and readily agreed.
"Alright, alright, I'll go tell the kitchen to make plenty of food so you can all have your fill!"
Qin Luo wanted to say something, but was soothed by the head steward's gaze.
"Old Master Yuan has told us managers about the young master's situation. He was worried that you two wouldn't have enough to eat in Wangu, so he specifically instructed that there should be at least three tables for each meal. So please eat as much as you like!"
Wu Hua hadn't expected that Elder Yuan cared about it so much, and suddenly her nose felt sore.
She buried her face in Qin Luo's arms, her mood instantly plummeting.
"Luo Luo! I miss Grandpa so much! Waaaaah~"
Qin Luo hugged it tightly and gently patted its back.
"Okay, stop crying. If you cry, I'll want to cry too!"
Then, the two of them started crying loudly in the back room.
The head steward was so frightened that he didn't know what he had said wrong to upset the two young masters so much.
He wanted to coax her, but didn't know where to start, and in the end only said one sentence.
"Young masters? Stop crying! If Elder Yuan finds out you're crying like this in front of me, he'll skin me alive!"
Qin Luo and Wu Hua looked up at him and saw that he was covered in sweat from anxiety.
The two of them burst out laughing.
Qin Luo first wiped away her own tears, then wiped Wu Hua's face clean.
"Uncle, our crying has nothing to do with you, we just miss Grandpa so much!"
Upon hearing this, the head steward felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
Two children this young, going out together to experience life...
The eldest son is alright, he's already fifteen years old.
The young master is only three years old! What kind of heartless family could do such a thing!
The more I thought about it, the more my heart ached, and I secretly wiped away my tears.
Not wanting to be seen by the two of them, he quickly turned around.
"Please have some snacks first, and I'll go and have the cook prepare something delicious for you!"
He ran out of the back room, and Qin Luo and Wu Hua watched his retreating figure, feeling a strange warmth in their hearts.
After Wang Yue and his companions sold the spider silk, they went their separate ways.
His companions walked out of Wan Gu, carefully pocketing the silver they had received, and then went to the back hall.
Qin Luo and Wu Hua were not surprised to see him arrive.
Instead, he glanced at the empty stool.
"Please sit down!"
Wang Yue sat down immediately. Although he knew he wasn't good enough for Qin Luo, he still wanted to shamelessly give it a try.
Even if it doesn't work out in the end, I won't have any regrets.
As the saying goes, "being near the water tower, one gets the moon first," so even if he wouldn't earn a single penny on this trip to the border, he had to accompany them.
"I've thought it through. I'm willing to be your guide. You can give me whatever money you want. I will definitely bring you in safely and bring you out safely!"
Putting everything else aside, just based on his size, what he says is truly convincing!
"Alright, deal! I'll give you ten thousand taels of gold as a reward after this is all done!"
Wang Yue never imagined that being a tour guide would earn him more than selling treasures!
He needs to think carefully about whether he should continue in this emerging industry.
As he was thinking this, Qin Luo chased him away.
Let's go back to the inn first. We'll head back later too. Tomorrow morning, we'll head towards the border!
Wang Yue didn't insist on keeping him, and after agreeing, he left Wan Gu.
Qin Luo checked the time; it was just past noon, and there was still a long time before dinner!
"Sweetie, how about we go out for some exercise before dinner?"
Wu Hua understood her meaning perfectly well; she waved her little hand.
"Walk!"
The two first found the head steward, took several weapons left behind by the thieves, and then left the auction house.
The head steward and a group of guards followed behind, asking questions as they went, much like anxious parents.
"What are you two doing? The cook is already preparing something delicious, and we'll be able to eat it in a little while. Where are you two headed? And what are you doing carrying that big knife? Young master! You're not even as tall as that knife! Put it down, or you'll hurt yourselves!"
Wu Hua stopped breathing and pursed her lips.
