Chapter 183 Flower Basket Lantern
Chapter 183 Flower Basket Lantern
In this way, Lingxiao Pavilion bought this "Birthday Wandering Flower Garland" at a sky-high price of 35 million taels.
Xiao Douxue chewed the delicious food, but it tasted bland.
Mu Yao looked at his rising and falling chest and handed him another cup of herbal tea. Seeing that he didn't move, she took advantage of Shen Chutang's inattention and quickly kissed the red corners of his eyes.
The boy was stunned for a moment, then the anger in his eyes disappeared and was instantly filled with joy.
This was the first time that the lady took the initiative to kiss him. A layer of mist gradually gathered in her eyes, making them deeper.
When Mu Yao saw him staring at her with an abnormal blush on his cheeks, she knew what was going on in this man's mind!
He quickly poured him another cup of cold tea, and then took a large piece of the most expensive dish, "yellow croaker in soup", and placed it on his porcelain plate.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the second treasure is a flower basket lantern collected by a certain folk master. The body of the lantern is inlaid with 120 rubies, and the tassels are all made of gold wire. The most valuable thing is that each flower on the lantern basket is inlaid with colorful gems, a total of 1,223. The starting price is 6,800,000 taels."
"Wow, the base price is 6.8 million taels! Fairy Lantern!"
"That's right. I heard that this lantern is an heirloom from Mr. Du's ancestors."
"Oh? From Mr. Du's family? Is he willing to take it out?"
"I heard that his three sons married the same noble lady, so he had to pay three gifts at once!"
"That doesn't need so much!"
"You don't know. I heard that the business of that noble lady's family had some problems, and she wanted Mr. Du to fill the hole before he was willing to marry his daughter to him."
"Is this true? Then it would be better to ask for relatives from another family!"
"Do you think Mr. Du doesn't want to? But his three sons are stubborn!"
"Hey!"
Mu Yao stared at the precious lamp, her eyes burning with anger.
"Dou Xue, that lantern is so beautiful."
Xiao Douxue seemed to be energized by chicken blood. He stood up with a somersault and doubled the price.
"The Lotus Pavilion's asking price is 13.6 million taels."
The hall suddenly became quiet, with only the host's voice echoing in the air.
Everyone looked towards the Lotus Pavilion. This time, even Xie Gantang and Xie Yu couldn't help but cast their eyes towards the carved lattices of the elegant pavilion.
Mu Yao's face stiffened slightly. She looked at Xiao Douxue's fighting spirit, trembled her lips, and swallowed the words that were about to come out of her throat.
The Lingxiao Pavilion was filled with the rich aroma of tea.
He An fiddled with the walnut and opened her beautiful eyes again from half-closed state.
"Lingxiao Pavilion's bid is twenty million taels." The host shouted loudly.
"See? Ling Xiao Pavilion is chasing us again!"
"Who is coming to High Heaven Pavilion today?"
"How would I know that?"
The atmosphere in the Lotus Pavilion became weird.
"Madam, I told you, that guy is deliberately picking a fight with us!" Xiao Douxue teleported to the window and looked straight at Lingxiao Pavilion, as if he wanted to pull the other person out and beat him up right away.
Mu Yao's expression also became serious.
Once is a coincidence, but twice?
"It seems like someone is targeting us." Shen Chutang put down his tea bowl and stood side by side with Xiao Douxue, staring at the opponent in Lingxiao Pavilion.
Mu Yao stroked the colorful glass bracelet on her wrist and thought carefully.
Fighting - childish.
Not fighting - cowardly.
"Try him." Mu Yao said.
"The price of the Lotus Pavilion is 25 million taels."
The boos started again, and everyone's blood started to boil. They almost shouted "Fight, fight!"
A light laugh rose in the Lingxiao Pavilion, rippling with ruffian spirit and concealing cunningness.
Everyone held their breath and waited for the rich man to make a move.
"The price offered by Lingxiao Pavilion is thirty million taels."
At this moment, everyone's expression could no longer be described as shocked.
This big man just spent 35 million taels a few breaths ago, and now he is spending another 30 million taels! Which wealthy man can have such strength?
In the Lotus Pavilion, a big hand reached out to Mu Yao and held her tightly against his chest. The man's flawless face touched the girl's black hair, and his eyes were full of tenderness.
"The Lotus Pavilion's asking price is 40 million taels." The host shouted, his voice becoming a little distorted due to excessive excitement.
Mu Yao raised her head slightly, met Shen Chutang's deep gaze, and suddenly a kiss fell on her forehead.
The air is filled with the pleasant scent of gardenias, interwoven with a light aroma of tea.
He An stood up and walked to the window. The most beautiful scenery appeared before his eyes. He stopped dialing the coin and also stopped bidding.
"Congratulations to Lotus Pavilion for winning this flower basket lantern for 40 million taels!"
Xiao Douxue stared at the two people hugging each other in front of him, without a trace of joy in his eyes.
"Mr. Shen, whose lantern do you think belongs to us?"
Shen Chutang glanced sideways, with no extra expression on his face: "What does Pavilion Master Xiao want to do?"
Seeing the flames rising, Mu Yao quickly said, "Half for each of you, both count, both count!"
"Ah, I'm so hungry. Should we eat more? There's still a lot left."
Having said that, he took the two of them back to the table and filled each of their bowls with delicious food.
“Care for your clothes and you will have clothes; care for your food and you will have food. Eat more and if you can’t finish it, pack it up and continue eating it at home.”
Compared to squandering money, wasting food is even more shameful. According to her grandfather, this is called sin! Don't do that!
