After the founding of the People's Republic of China, she became a spirit and was punished, and

Chapter 120 No sense of boundaries

Traces of light pink spread from her neck. Xiyu dodged awkwardly and pretended to continue admiring the exhibits.

As expected, no one bought the red jadeite coral this time. The treasures that followed were basically one-of-a-kind items that dazzled her, but she didn't particularly want any of them.

They look good, but they are not very practical and you won’t be able to use them after you buy them.

"The last one is a 500-year-old snow mountain ginseng. It has the effects of replenishing qi and benefiting the lungs, restoring the pulse and strengthening the body, promoting fluid production and nourishing the blood. The most important thing is that it can treat critical illnesses such as qi deficiency and weak pulse."

In other words, it can be used to save your life.

Xiyu's eyes suddenly lit up. This is a good thing.

The five hundred year old snow mountain ginseng is full of spiritual energy, but its intelligence has not been opened. For ordinary people, it is just an excellent medicinal material, but for her, it can really save her life at the critical moment.

I'm tempted to buy it.

I just don't know what the price is. If it's something as expensive as red jadeite or coral, I'm afraid she would have to sell all her dowry to get the money to buy it.

The shopkeeper was holding up a small hammer and quoting a price, "The starting price for the 500-year-old Snow Mountain Ginseng is—"

She nervously held the handkerchief in her hand and subconsciously held her breath.

"Ten thousand taels of silver!"

She breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately the price was reasonable.

Yinzhen noticed the emotion she wanted, and naturally stretched out his index finger to knock on the bell on the corner of the table.

When the bell rings, the price goes up.

If the price has not been stated, it will automatically increase by 500 taels.

"The guest in the Yuezi box bid 10,500 taels of silver."

Although ginseng that is hundreds of years old is common, most of them are not circulated on the market after they are purchased, but are kept for survival.

Therefore, this five hundred year old ginseng is something that can only be found by chance and is not like other gold, silver or jewelry that can be had or not.

At one point, almost all the guests in the private rooms made bids.

"The Star Box is priced at 11,000 taels of silver."

"The price for the Yinzi box is twelve thousand taels of silver."

"The price for the Traditional Box is 12,500 taels."

……

"The price for the Water Box is 15,000 taels of silver."

At this point, most of the people who joined in the fun have already given up on competing.

Xiyu rang the bell again to raise the price, and immediately the voice of Shopkeeper Zhen was heard again, "The price for the Yuezi box is 15,500 taels of silver."

She secretly calculated the value of this ginseng in her mind. To her, it would be worth it even if it doubled.

"The price for the Water Box is 16,000 taels of silver."

"The price for the Yuezi box is 16,500 taels of silver."

"Water box..."

"The Moon Box..."

Every time she made a bid, the other party would follow suit and it seemed that the person on the other side also wanted this ginseng.

But she doesn't like giving in.

Xiyu stretched out her finger and gently shook the bell on the table, making it emit a clear and ethereal sound.

Then, she slowly opened her lips and uttered five words, "Thirty thousand taels of silver."

There was a flash of surprise in Yinzhen's eyes, and he raised his eyebrows and looked at her. He didn't expect that the young concubine would take the initiative to raise the price. It seemed that she really wanted this ginseng.

If I had known this would happen, I would have just taken it from the warehouse and given it to her instead of putting it on the auction block.

Now she has to spend her time and energy to shoot the film, and he feels a little annoyed.

"The price for the Yuezi box is thirty thousand taels of silver."

As soon as the price was announced, the people in the Water Box became quiet, and no one knew whether they had given up.

Shopkeeper Zhen waved the hammer in his hand and began to count down, "Five, four, three, two..."

"Wait a moment."

A clear female voice came from the next box. The voice was like a trickle of water, exuding a cool feeling.

It just seems against the rules.

If you don't want to see something you like being sold to someone else, just raise the price yourself. There's no need to stop the shopkeeper from making the deal.

But those who can go to the fifth floor are all high-ranking officials and dignitaries, so naturally they cannot be neglected.

The shopkeeper didn't want to offend the people from the Shui brand, but he also didn't want to offend the people from the Yue brand. He thought for a moment and then struck the drumstick.

Everything still had to follow the rules of the Treasure Pavilion, not to mention that her employer was behind the Yue-shaped box.

The boss wants it, but if he doesn't give it to him, he will lose the job.

The drumstick fell and the deal was done.

Once the money is paid in full, the transaction will be settled.

Having gotten what she wanted, Xiyu was in a good mood. She supported her chin with one hand on the table, and her eyes curved into crescent shapes.

"You're in such a good mood just because you got a ginseng?"

Yinzhen imitated her movements and moved closer to her.

"It's not easy to find a complete 500-year-old ginseng, especially one grown on the top of a snowy mountain. My father went through a lot of trouble to find a complete 200-year-old ginseng for me to use as a medicine."

This was said when she was bedridden as a child.

Yinzhen felt uncomfortable after hearing this, and he slightly lowered his brows to hide his emotions.

"Gege, this is against the rules."

After the auction was over, there was a noisy sound of voices coming from the door. Xiyu subconsciously turned around to look in the direction of the sound and listened attentively.

"Please, Manager Zhen, please be flexible. I want to buy this ginseng and give it to my Mafa, but I don't have enough money. If you let me meet the person in the Yuezi box, he will definitely be willing to give it to me."

Tong Jia Qingtang has a humble attitude and a gentle and polite voice.

But everyone present knew her identity, and naturally they also knew that her father-in-law was Tong Guowei, also known as Tong Banchao.

If an ordinary noble heard this, he would probably give some face even if he was reluctant to give up the ginseng.

"Gege, this really won't work."

The shopkeeper brought people to stop them, but since the other party was a female, it was not easy to touch her easily.

In this very cool room, he was forced to break out in a thin layer of sweat.

Although Xiyu had heard Tong Jia Qingtang's voice, there were too many people that day and she didn't remember it, so she didn't know who was outside the door.

She stood up and pushed the door open, and her eyes met with the person who was trying to force his way out.

is her!

is her!

Neither of them had expected this.

Xiyu saw it but acted as if she didn't see it, and deliberately ignored the look in the other person's eyes.

After all, the two did not know each other and had never met.

"Manager Zhen, we are leaving now. If the ginseng is ready, please send someone to get the silver."

"Everything is ready, just take it away."

Shopkeeper Zhen bowed to her and asked someone to present the ginseng.

Yinzhen appeared behind her, took the ginseng box handed to her by the shopkeeper, held it in his arms, and put his other hand around Xiyu's waist to prevent her from touching it accidentally.

His eyes never fell on Tong Jia Qingtang for a single moment during the entire process.

Tong Jia Qingtang stared at Yinzhen's arm with burning eyes, her hand hidden under her sleeve clenched into a fist unconsciously, and waves of jealousy surged in her heart.

But he still maintained a calm and composed look on his face.
