Chapter 542: Auction House
Don't slap in such a mixed place, which really makes him sit in a pinch and needle every minute. He has to grit his teeth and gently hold the hand that clenched into a fist, and comfort him in a low voice: "A Xiao, don't be angry, I'm not talking bad about you. You are much more beautiful than those rich ladies, have better temper than them, and your kung fu makes them look beyond the reach. You are better than them everywhere. Really, don't be angry. "
Yun Xiao aimed at the unspeakable person with a serious and nice words. Although he was funny, he still looked depressed on his face. She flicked the hairpin on her head casually, pulled it all down and threw it on the ground, and said, "That big mouse is not wrong either. I have no family background at all. I have been poor since I was a child. The most valuable thing on it is the piece of ancient jade Chen Yue that my father tricked from the royal family. But now I have returned it. There is really no treasure that can be taken out."
She kicked her feet angrily and said to herself: "The most expensive gift I have received in my life is probably the skirt you gave me. I am afraid that it will be broken and I will not be able to wear it. I will put it in Kunlun's room. I don't know if I have a chance to go back and pick it up."
Xiao Qianye looked at her expression carefully and gently touched the sword spirit on his waist. There was actually a spell left by his master on the scabbard of Likong Sword. Once the sword was drawn, the master could feel it. However, more than half a year has passed. He did not fulfill his original promise and went back to admit his mistake. The old master did not respond to him. It seemed that he knew his current situation, but just waited quietly. Thinking of this, Xiao Qianye felt a little touched in his heart and silently continued: "You like it, I will give it to you in the future."
"You give me a gift?" Yun Xiao rolled his eyes and glared at him, and said dissatisfiedly, "It seems that although we are two years apart, we are very close to each other and have never seen you give me any gifts..."
Xiao Qianye didn't dare to talk nonsense, but just sat upright and listened carefully. He went to Kunlun alone to study, and had no intention of staying there for a long time, nor did he plan to have a close relationship with Kunlun people. The appearance of this young junior sister was undoubtedly beyond his plan, completely breaking the life path he had planned early in the morning, because Kunlun is a home of Taoism and does not pay attention to secular etiquette. Although the birthday of him and Yunxiao was only ten days apart, every year Mrs. Qiushui cooked a bowl of longevity noodles in person, and the three of them ate together was considered a birthday.
If you talk about a gift, it was really never given. He had been consciously keeping a distance from Yun Xiao, just because he was worried that one day he would never meet again. However, the feelings he was carefully concealed were still completely shattered on the day she went to Feiyuan in person and could never get out.
Thinking of the shocking change at home that year, Xiao Qianye still had obvious sadness on his face and said lightly: "My mother, my mother regrets marrying my father, so there is no wedding banquet or relatives coming to celebrate. Even her dowry is only a few jewelry she often wears. What she likes most during her lifetime was a pair of blue and white jade bracelets, saying that she would leave it to me and my elder brother for one to pass it on to her future daughter-in-law, but... the bracelets were broken when she passed away, otherwise, I really wanted to give it to you."
Last year, he had the opportunity to make up for his regrets for so many years, but he was surprised to change the West Coast. His birthday was silently forgotten in the scorching sun and desert.
Now, Xiao Qianye looked at Yun Xiao who was not sure what he was thinking, but a kind of unspeakable self-blame ignited in his heart. He silently raised his hand and pressed his forehead to feel the consciousness of coexistence. However, the man was silent and clearly sober, but he never responded to him again.
"A Xiao..." After a long time, Xiao Qianye suddenly called her, and suddenly it seemed that he had lost his glory. His eyes were tired and looked at her silently for a few seconds, and then said with a wry smile, "A Xiao, I may have really ruined your happiness... He, he likes you very much, not only was it influenced by my feelings, but I forcibly snatched you from him. In fact, at that time in Dongming, I was really afraid that you would leave me after you knew the truth, so I wanted to get you regardless of the constraints of the blood contract. A Xiao, I am a stupid and ridiculous person, because at that time, I really wanted to use this method to keep you..."
"Stop talking." Yun Xiao raised his hand to block his mouth, but showed an inappropriate smile that he couldn't understand. After a long period of silence, he suddenly cursed in a low voice, "Mom-in-law, whisper, still long-winded!"
"I don't want to hide it from you." Xiao Qianye made a quibble. Yun Xiao knocked on his forehead, with some unspeakable loss, and said softly, "I like him very much, but that was something that happened a long time ago, and he was also awake and had talked to me seriously about those things. He said that he didn't want to get involved in the matter of children. He should have really let go. Qianye, the person he can't let go now is actually you."
Xiao Qianye changed his face. Di Zhong had never mentioned these things to him. It turned out that the person who was really worried about them was the third party who was rashly intruding in.
Yun Xiao put his hands on his chin, obviously not wanting to continue the unhappiness just now, so he talked about his life experience rarely and muttered in a low voice: "My mother is an orphan picked up by Master during the war. When she brought her to Kunlun Mountain, she was still very young and didn't remember it. Later, when she grew up, she also learned some swordsmanship. I heard that she had returned to the Central Plains several times to look for her life. However, in those years, the war broke out and many cities were destroyed overnight. She searched for a few years and finally left it alone. Then she started traveling to the sea and ran to Feiyuan to meet my father."
She paused, and a sense of incongruity suddenly appeared in her memory. Although she shouted "Dad" casually, everything between the two people seemed to have nothing to do with her. Even the Chehuang, who had bred a fire seed, seemed to be just a stranger who met by chance, and had no such thing as blood ties. This feeling only took a moment to silence her. The fire seed was born naturally in accordance with the destiny of heaven. It belonged to human parents, sisters, and even husbands and children, in fact, they were just dreams of the void.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but turn her head and glance at the people around her. At that time, she found that she was pregnant, and she was really happy and happy like an ordinary mother. She fantasized about having a healthy and cute child, but her body suddenly took a sharp turn and did not give her any false hope, but it became difficult to hold the sword and her spiritual power could not be activated. She knew that it was the child in her belly who violated the blood bondage in her womb, which was crazy about absorbing the power of the mother's body, but even then... she still couldn't bear to let go.
Perhaps the best result is that the unborn child was killed by his biological father?
Yun Xiao sighed leisurely. The past is not far away, mixed in the memory that has lasted for thousands of years, but it is so painful. She is used to seeing other people's separations and deaths, and silently sees many grudges and revenges. When the love and righteousness that once could not be empathized with her reappeared, she realized that she could not do better than those people. Yun Xiao breathed helplessly, with a sharp and deep whisper: "When my mother was alive, every Mid-Autumn Festival, she would stare at the moon on the top of Kunlun Mountain in a daze. I think she should miss her family very much. Although she didn't know their whereabouts, she must also pray and blessing for her relatives silently. I don't care much about those. Although she has only one mother by her since childhood, her master and uncle, and her senior brothers and sisters are all my family."
Yun Xiao chuckled softly, looked at Xiao Qianye, and added: "You are also my family, my most important family, but I am a child from a poor family. I'm sorry for delaying your marriage to a princess and ruining your good future."
"I..." Xiao Qianye was ridiculed by her sarcastic mocking, and involuntarily raised his head and glanced at the face that was still smirking, and couldn't help but retort, "I just like children from poor families, which are easy to raise."
"You!" Yun Xiao stared at him with wide eyes. Unexpectedly, he would suddenly say something, and immediately giggled and cursed, "Can you speak? If you can't speak, just shut up and stop talking. You will be angry to death sooner or later."
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if the short unhappiness had just disappeared. Yun Xiao waved his hand and then carefully looked at the two round plates embedded in the jade table, one gold and one silver in front of him. She tapped her hands gently, and then looked at the several gold and silver coins on the corner of the table. Both of them were puzzled and quickly observed others' movements. Then they found a small book in the drawer below. Yun Xiao followed the customer's appearance and made a gentle amazement, saying: "This is the product auctioned today, it is indeed a dazzling array."
Xiao Qianye took the book and looked at it briefly, and there were more than ten pages. The more you went back, the more rare the auction items were. Those common gold, silver and jewelry could not be at the auction in Shanshi at all. Instead, some rare flowers, strange grass, mysterious magic weapons in the world were particularly eye-catching. The few plates of coins placed on the table were the exclusive measurement method of Shanshi. A silver coin was called "shell", which could be worth one thousand taels of silver, and a gold coin was called "spring", which was equivalent to one thousand taels of gold!
"It's so expensive..." Yun Xiao tsk his tongue and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Compared with these customers, we are indeed poor! There are only these two kinds of coins here, and the minimum price increase is 1,000 silver. Now, people outside are not having a living, and it's difficult for many people to have a full meal. But the black market is still so luxurious and corruption. If all the auction items in this book are sold, they will probably be worth the needs of ordinary people for several lifetimes."
Xiao Qianye shrugged, his eyes complicated: "The black market has to pay a large amount of taxes to Jingge every year, but now it's a drop in the bucket when it comes to careful calculations."
While speaking, he had turned the book to the end. His eyes lit up and pulled Yunxiao. He saw an exquisite crystal bottle in the book, containing colorful water. At the bottom of the picture, there was a line of small words indicating "Tianshengshui", and there were gold coins next to it, indicating the number "Qian". Yunxiao calculated with his fingers and said: "The starting price is one thousand plants, isn't that one million taels of gold? It's so rich that you can get it. I'm afraid that Gongsun Yan will have to weigh it when he comes..."
"A huge profit is still worth a purchase, right? Besides, the money is not enough, and it can still sell your soul." Xiao Qianye smiled and tapped a special line of small characters on the back of the book. Yun Xiao then shouted softly and found that in addition to "Bei" and "Zhu", there is another unique unit of measurement in Shanshi called "Cong". The soul of a thousand people is "Cong", and one cong can match one.
Xiao Qianye silently looked at the auction house that had been set up in front of him and couldn't help but sneer, "Hmph, the plan is so exquisite. The money is not enough to pay for it. It can not only make a fortune, but also collect the power of the soul for himself. But even in such a loss-making business, there are still a lot of people who are happy to pay themselves. Anyway, they don't plan to buy it with them, so it doesn't matter how much money. When the thing is taken out and the rain dragon appears, I will take it together."
