Qin Luo was a little smug after being praised, "Hehe! It's nothing special!"
She then took out the silver notes and silver that Tengteng had taken from Han Ling and Liang Ju and counted them.
"Wow, that's quite a lot! One thousand three hundred and seventeen taels, let's split it evenly!"
Old Wen didn't understand what she meant, and just stared blankly at her.
Qin Luo took out a five-hundred-tael silver note and handed it to him.
"Four hundred and thirty-nine taels each, and the extra is your reward for leading us to the auction house last night!"
Old Wen quickly waved his hand.
"How could I possibly accept your money!"
Qin Luo stuffed the silver notes into his arms.
"This isn't mine, it belongs to Young Master Han and Liang Ju!"
Old Wen was shocked again, feeling that this trip was truly worthwhile!
He knelt down before Qin Luo, holding the silver notes in his hands and raising them above his head.
"Young master, I don't want this silver note, but if you win the bid for the jade tree, could you spare a single jade leaf to save my young master's life?"
Qin Luo did not get the silver notes back.
"I am determined to have the Jade Tree, but I cannot give you the Jade Leaf!"
Upon hearing these words, Lao Wen felt extremely frustrated.
But then Qin Luo said, "If you trust me, I will visit your young master at your residence!"
Old Wen immediately thought of the pills Qin Luo had auctioned, and looked at her as if she had found salvation.
"Young master, you also know medicine?"
When it comes to medical skills, Qin Luo adopts the demeanor of a reclusive master.
"He's been smart since childhood; he can learn even a simple medical skill in no time!"
Seeing her smug look, Wu Hua deliberately teased her.
"She's smart! But she didn't even get into her dream university!"
Qin Luo: As expected, only those who know you well know where it hurts the most when you're stabbed!
Enraged, she grabbed the pastries in front of Wu Hua and stuffed them into her mouth.
"I'm going to eat all your snacks to replenish my brain, which is still struggling to get into my dream university!"
Wu Hua immediately stood on the stool, waving her little hands and trying to snatch it from her.
Although Old Wen couldn't understand the meaning behind their words, watching them playfully bicker, the corners of his mouth curled up higher and higher.
Thinking that with their promise, her young master was saved!
Once lunchtime was over, the auction house staff came to clear the table and served tea and pastries again!
Guests then entered the room one after another, and the auction of Wen Yushu officially began.
Six burly men carried Wen Yushu, who was wrapped in red cloth, to the high platform.
Although the Wenyu tree is only a little over two meters tall, its trunk is extremely thick.
Although the root system is coiled inside the large jar, it is clear at a glance that it is very well-developed.
The men unveiled the red cloth, revealing Wen Yushu's full appearance to everyone.
The entire tree looked radiant and dazzling, and when illuminated by the light, it was so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.
At the front of the stage, an elderly man in a magnificent robe, with a dignified face, held a golden hammer and his sharp eyes swept over the crowd below.
He was the master of ceremonies for this auction, and also the appraiser of the jade tree: Mr. Yuan!
As he gently struck the golden hammer, the crowd below turned to look.
Mr. Yuan looked around at everyone present, and then spoke in a strong and powerful voice.
"This tree is an ancient jade tree. Its trunk can ward off evil spirits and protect the home, and its leaves have excellent curative effects on stubborn diseases. It is priceless! Starting bid: 500,000 taels of gold! Each bid increment is 10,000 taels of gold!"
No sooner had Mr. Yuan finished speaking than some people couldn't contain themselves.
The head of the Nie family, whose business was classified as Earth, was the first to ring the bell: "Six hundred thousand taels!"
Before the words were even finished, someone from the Xuan-character shop on the other side took over: "Six hundred and fifty thousand taels!"
Immediately afterwards, shouts of bids rose and fell, surging in like a tidal wave.
"Seven hundred thousand taels!"
"Eight hundred and fifty thousand taels!"
Qin Luo, not to be outdone, rang the bell.
"One million taels!"
The atmosphere in the auction hall instantly became tense.
Every face was etched with longing and determination.
The price of Wenyu tree rose steadily amidst the bidding war, until it reached an astonishing figure.
"One million five hundred thousand taels!"
The ringtone, accompanied by a deep, powerful voice, suddenly rang out, breaking the previous commotion.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the door to the Huangzi private room, which had been silent until now, had suddenly opened.
The stern-faced middle-aged man slowly stood up, his eyes revealing an unwavering determination.
A brief silence fell over the room!
One and a half million taels of gold is an astronomical figure for most people.
However, after a moment of silence, Qin Luo shouted defiantly, "One million five hundred and fifty thousand taels!"
"One million six hundred thousand taels!"
The middle-aged man remained unyielding, his voice conveying an unyielding authority.
Qin Luo didn't care about his authority or not, and didn't give in the slightest.
"One million six hundred and fifty thousand taels!"
The middle-aged man stared intently at the top-tier room and called out towards the door, "Would you please come out and meet me?"
Yuan Lao didn't rush to bring down the gavel, but stood on the platform to see how Qin Luo would respond.
Qin Luo asked Lao Wen to watch over Wu Hua, then pushed open the door and went out.
"What advice do you have for me?"
The middle-aged man did not look down on Qin Luo because of her young age!
Early in the morning, he ordered his men to investigate the people in the three private rooms of Tiandixuan.
He was quite surprised when his subordinates reported that the top-ranking member was just an ordinary citizen.
They believed that someone must have used a civilian identity as a cover, and now, seeing Qin Luo's neither humble nor arrogant attitude, they were even more convinced of their guess!
He bowed to Qin Luo.
"Young master, my name is Qi Yong. I have come all the way from the capital to seek medical treatment for Yushu. I hope you will be so kind as to grant me this opportunity!"
Qin Luo shook her head without even thinking.
"No, this jade tree belongs to my friend, I must bring it back intact!"
After he finished speaking, not only Qi Yong, but everyone present was somewhat disappointed.
