Chapter 99: Long time no see.

After negotiating with the middle-aged man for more than ten minutes, the two finally reached an agreement.

After finding a deserted corner, Chi Ying took out the jade hairpin from her bag. This jade hairpin was He Chaoci's intention to give it to her. It would not be good to give it away like this.

She took a deep breath and re-entered the hall in a blink of an eye.

In the hall, Lan Manman was sitting alone in the corner, frowning and sighing from time to time.

Chi Ying saw this scene from a distance.

She lowered her head and quickly walked to Lanmanman's side.

The venue gradually became quiet, and the originally bright lights became much darker.

At the same time, the first lot was placed directly above. Lan Manman suddenly frowned, stretched out his right hand and subconsciously covered his heart, and took a breath of cold air.

Chi Ying on the side hurriedly took her arm, looking very concerned, "Are you okay?"

Lan Manman shook his head, and kept moving his right hand over his heart.

"We have the first item to be auctioned, the Shunxin Bao Jade. This jade is in excellent condition. I won't say much. The starting price is 200,000 yuan, and each increase in price must not be less than 100,000 yuan. The bidding begins."

The auctioneer held it in his right hand. A small hammer with a decent smile on his face.

"Three hundred thousand!"

"I'll pay half a million."

"Seven hundred thousand!"

After saying this, no one raised a sign.

The auctioneer still had a smile on his face, "Seven hundred thousand once."

His eyes swept over the people present, "Is anyone still bidding?"

"Seven hundred thousand twice."

After a few more seconds, the scene was still quiet. She hit it with a hammer and said, "Seven hundred thousand three times. Congratulations on successfully photographing this smooth jade on the 18th."

"Long time no see."

Chi Ying was staring above intently when suddenly, there was a low voice in his ear. sound.

She looked along and her pupils shrank slightly. Isn't this the person in charge of the Yu family that Manman mentioned?

When did he sit next to her?

Chi Ying nodded lightly to him out of politeness.

However, the other party didn't seem to think anything was wrong, and he didn't see the defensiveness in Chi Ying's eyes or the subconscious movement of his body.

He leaned closer to Chi Ying and said in a low voice, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Chi Ying could no longer pretend to turn a blind eye. He still stared straight ahead, but he was very confused in his heart.

It's obviously the first time I'm meeting the other person, so why does the tone sound like I haven't seen him for a long time?

She quickly shook her head, it was better not to mess with such people easily.

At this time, the second lot has been uploaded above.

"This second lot is a sapphire. You can see that it is a whole piece of natural sapphire. It can be used as a pendant or bracelet."

"The starting price is one million, and each increase must not be less than 100,000. , start."

"Do you want it?" Yu Wenjing put his right hand on one side and played with an object.

Chi Ying couldn't help but frowned and moved to the side again.

...

"Why haven't you responded yet? Are you trying to trick me?" Shen Tuming stared at the front attentively, his brows knitted together, and there was a hint of impatience in his eyes.

Geng Tiannan immediately looked at the people who were working on the side. They immediately looked at it with bated breath, and then raised their hands to wipe the sweat on their foreheads, and then turned to Shen Tuming and answered, " It will take a little time, but it will be fine soon."

Geng Tiannan suddenly said, "Yes, this method is correct. I have seen it with my own eyes before."

A faint smile appeared on his lips, "If not. "Okay, how can we use this to trade and spread the word? What's more, we are at your place now. If we really have other thoughts, can you let us leave?"

Shen Tuming lowered his eyes and glanced at them. , I agree with it in my heart, but it doesn’t show on my face.

After a stick of incense.

Everyone was almost drowsy from waiting.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Look, look, it's really fine salt."

Shen Tuming subconsciously focused his attention on the small container in front of him.

At the same time, He Chaoci took a step forward, reached out and grabbed a small amount from the container, and rubbed it between his fingers.

Then I threw a little more into my mouth, and I instantly felt a salty taste spreading in my mouth.

He clapped his hands, turned to look at Shen Tuming, and nodded solemnly towards him.

The heart that Shen Tuming had been holding on to was finally relieved.

This fine salt is fine.

Then he turned to look at the people around him, "Have you all remembered it?"

Several people nodded quickly, "When I return to the emperor, all the servants will remember it."

Seeing this, Shen Tuming had a smile on his face, "Okay, okay."

Yuan Xi immediately flicked the fly whisk in his hand with quick eyes and hands, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Show the Jinluan Palace."

Shen Tuming gave him an appreciative look, and when passing Yuan Xi, he reached out and patted his shoulder. , Yuan Xi lowered his head even lower.

Inside the Jinluan Hall.

Shentu Ming sat at the top, with He Chaoci on the left and Geng Tiannan on the right.

Geng Tiannan looked much more relaxed at this moment.

He slowly picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip. He felt that the tea was fragrant and smelled very good.

This taste was something they didn't have in Qicai, so I couldn't help but take a few more sips.

All this fell into Shen Tuming's eyes. He smiled and said directly: "Since you like it, take more with you when you leave. These are tributes, but I am reluctant to drink them normally."

Geng Tiannan only said He shook his head and smiled, not taking his words to heart.

Shentu Ming was the king of a country, and he was so powerful. All the surrounding cities bowed to him, so how could he really be as miserable as the other party said.

He put down the tea cup in his hand, smoothed his clothes, then stood up, clasped his hands together, and cupped his hands towards Shen Tuming, "Now that the deal between the two of us has been completed, now I have one more thing I may need your help."

Shen Tuming narrowed his eyes and did not agree to him immediately.

He lowered his eyes and glanced at Geng Tiannan before raising his eyebrows. "Then you might as well tell me. If I can do it, I will definitely agree to it."

Geng Tiannan directly took Luo Qing's arm and said with a serious expression, "Kneel down."

Luo Qing curled her lips and was so frightened by his appearance that she didn't dare to say a word and decisively knelt down on her knees.

Everyone was stunned, subconsciously looking at Shen Tuming and then at Geng Tiannan.

He Chaoci spoke softly, "I wonder what the king means by this? If you want to teach someone a lesson, I might as well teach you Qicai again."

Geng Tiannan waved his hands repeatedly, his face finally not so dull, "Your Majesty, I misunderstood. , I asked her to kneel down not as a lesson, but to let the emperor make the decision and keep her in Nanxia. "
