Chapter 291 The Highest Bidder Wins
The person on the stage had already opened the brocade box he was holding and was introducing the contents of the box, and called out a starting price of five taels of silver.
The sound of quotations came from the surrounding elegant rooms.
Xingxing looked around curiously, but although the room was semi-open, there was a layer of hazy gauze separating the rooms, so she couldn't see each other clearly.
Xing Xing had no choice but to look away.
The bid quickly reached eight taels of silver.
When Bo Geer saw Xing Xing looking curiously at the ruby ring displayed on the counter, he asked Xing Xing if she liked it.
Xing Xing shook her head: "Second brother, you forgot. I have a set of ruby jewelry, the quality is better than this. It was given to me by Master Liu. I'm just a little curious..."
The ruby ring displayed on the table was not as good as the set of head ornaments given to her by Old Lady Liu, but it had already been sold for fifteen taels of silver.
...How much can her ruby headdress, which is of extremely fine quality and so red that it seems to be flowing, be sold for here?
Soon, the bidding for the ruby ring ended at eighteen taels of silver.
The person on the stage respectfully carried the tray and had it delivered to a private room somewhere.
Xingxing roughly understood the process of this place - it's just a matter of bidding, and the highest bidder wins!
It was her first time to come to such a place and she was very curious.
The second item was a jade hairpin. The hairpin was of good quality and hand-carved by a master craftsman. The price was immediately raised to twenty taels of silver by the dealer.
Xing Xing looked at it a few more times out of curiosity.
Bo Ge'er was shocked and then he called out a price of thirty taels.
The price that Boger raised was too high, and others began to hesitate.
While he was hesitating, the waiter holding the brocade box on the table finished the countdown and announced that Boger had bought the hairpin for thirty taels of silver.
Xingxing exclaimed, "Huh?"
The jade hairpin was lively in design, carved into the shape of a little rabbit playing with lotus, and was obviously meant to be worn by a young girl.
Among the entire Yu family, Xingxing is the only one who can barely be called a girl.
When the waiter brought the brocade box over, Boger quickly paid the banknote and bought the little rabbit jade hairpin.
Xing Xing pointed at herself and said, "Second brother, is this for me?"
Bo Ge'er smiled and said, "What else? ... But let me make it clear first, this is not the thing that Second Brother promised you before. This is just a little thing I bought for you because I saw that you were too plain."
Xing Xing smiled and said, "Okay, I just thought I was going out shopping today and it would be convenient for me to try on jewelry then, so I didn't wear anything."
As she spoke, since there was no mirror in this elegant room, Xingxing simply stretched her little head forward and asked Boger to pin the hairpin on her hairpin bun.
Boger put the hairpin on Xingxing, looked around and was very satisfied.
Xingxing was also very happy.
The next item to be auctioned is a jade pendant.
The jade pendant has excellent water head, and there is a small bridge and flowing water carved on it, which sparkles in the sunlight, giving a feeling that the water is flowing under the bridge.
Xing Xing's eyes lit up, and she began bidding after roughly understanding the process.
However, the person in the private room next door bid faster than her and asked for twenty taels of silver.
Xing Xing paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then asked for forty taels of silver.
Boger looked at Xingxing with a smile.
This is just a small amount of money, as long as Xingxing is happy.
However, the elegant room next door was obviously irritated by Xingxing's bid, and her voice was filled with anger: "Fifty taels!"
Xing Xing followed slowly: "Sixty taels."
The voice in the next room paused for a moment, and then the anger in the voice became more obvious: "Sixty-five taels!"
Xing Xing was still calm and collected: "Seventy taels."
Her voice is so sweet that you can tell she is a little girl.
A sound of teeth grinding came from the elegant room next door: "...Little girl, where are you from? Are you deliberately trying to overshadow me?"
Xing Xing exclaimed, a little puzzled: "...But isn't the model here that the highest bidder wins?"
Why should we cover her price when she raises the price normally?
The people in the next room were obviously stunned.
The female voice took a deep breath and continued to bid, "Seventy-five taels!"
Xing Xing followed up: "Eighty taels."
The whole courtyard was silent.
From the next room came the sound of someone standing up suddenly and bumping into a chair.
The female voice suppressed her anger: "Little sister, I planned to buy this jade pendant for my brother as a birthday gift. There are so many good things to shoot here, why did you snatch this from me?"
Xing Xing thought for a moment and said, "But, this is also something I bought for my second brother."
Everyone is giving gifts to their brother, so who is more noble than who? Why should she give in?
A low voice of dissuasion came from the elegant room next door. It should be the maid with the female voice who was persuading her not to be impulsive.
At this moment, the waiter at the counter has started the countdown.
The countdown ends, and if no one wants to bid higher, the jade pendant will belong to Xingxing.
When the countdown was about to end, the woman bit her back teeth and squeezed out a price: "Ninety taels!"
Xing Xing did not hesitate, but paused for a moment to let the female voice finish saying "ninety taels" before accepting her offer: "One hundred taels."
The girl in the next room was so angry that she smashed a teacup!
"You did it on purpose?!"
The people in the next room seemed to be angry.
Bo Ge'er narrowed his eyes slightly and reminded her: "Miss, the rule here is that the highest bidder wins. If you threaten someone or do something else, the guards here will not just eat for free."
The people in the next room were stunned by Bo'er's words and remained silent for a long time.
Xingxing ignored them and happily took out the sachet from her arms.
When Xing Xing saw that Bo Ge'er also put his hand into his arms, she immediately jumped up, holding Bo Ge'er's hand with one hand, and waving the sachet with the other hand: "Second brother, I have money! Let me pay! I bought it and gave it to you!"
Although Bo Ge'er was the one in the entire Yu family who knew best how rich Xing Xing, the little rich woman, was, he still felt sweet in his heart.
My sister bought something for him!
He smiled deeply, but in his heart he was thinking that if his elder brother came back, he would definitely wear this jade pendant and walk around in front of his elder brother a few more times.
Let big brother know that this jade pendant was specially bought by Xingxing from someone else and given to him!
I guess my brother will be so angry that he will die!
Whenever Bo Ge'er thought of that situation, he couldn't help but grin.
Oh, who told him to join the army without resigning?
Then there were a few more small things. Although Xingxing looked at them with great interest, she did not bid.
Soon, another thing was brought up.
It was a bracelet inlaid with diamonds.
In the sunlight, the bracelet shines beautifully.
Xingxing's eyes lit up.
If I wear this together with Buddhist beads, it seems like they go well together?
