Starting from the 26th day of the lunar calendar, all the relatives of the Duanmu family gathered together to eat soup pot and held a charity sale while eating the soup pot. All the auction items were donated by the big families in the clan. All the silver coins obtained from the auction were later used to repair the clan ancestral hall.

The expenses for maintaining the family tomb, supporting the orphaned elders of the clan, and running the clan school... The auction within the clan will be held for three days and will not end until the 28th day of the lunar calendar.

Ye Molan, who returned to Shuixie Pavilion from the Torch Festival, heard that the mistress of Duanmu Mansion did not come to Shuixie Pavilion to make trouble at all. I wonder if she will find a better excuse to deal with herself later?

The reason was that Mrs. Zhang had offended Qin Jiangan, the eldest son of the Marquis of Qin. After all, the mistress of Duanmu Mansion was not a fool.

The donated collection objects are very particular. This allows individuals to show their strength in front of all relatives in the clan and enhance personal goodwill or reputation.

The more precious the donated collection is, the more it will shock the audience and the more it can prove one's personal strength. Later, he will spend a high price to buy back his own collection. The money spent will become his own donation to the clan, benefiting the whole world.

Kind deeds by clan relatives.

Popular collections will be competed for by other wealthy people, and you may not be able to take back all the collections if they are yours. If someone else bids higher, the collection becomes someone else's.

In this way, they can compete for the most powerful person in the family.

Buy high-priced collections at clan auctions to prove your personal strength. After that, even if you are a businessman in the business world, all clan relatives will give you face, and clan relatives who are officials will give appropriate green light.

The greater your contribution to the clan, the more respected you will be by your clan relatives.

Clan relatives will benefit and support the clan more.

The greater your personal reputation within the clan, the more face you will have with your relatives from all walks of life. With greater face, everything will go smoothly.

The head of the Duanmu clan is Duanmu Qiming’s cousin, Duanmu Fengyang.

Duanmu Fengyang is the head of the Songshan Sect and has properties and houses in the Imperial City. Duanmu Fengyang usually lives in Songshan. He only returns to the Imperial City during the Chinese New Year to organize the clan's gatherings to worship ancestors.

The relatives of the Duanmu clan gathered at the mansion of the Duanmu Fengyang clan leader to eat soup pot and participate in the auction held by the clan.

Duanmu Fengyang's house is right next door to Duanmu Qiming's house.

A few days ago, at the banquet, the kind cousin that Ye Molan met, Duanmu Furong, was Duanmu Fengyang's fourth daughter. At that time, except for Ye Molan, one of the people at the table was a concubine, and the others were all from the Duanmu family.

A direct cousin, so it seems? Duanmu Qiming deliberately arranged for Duanmu Molan (acted as Ye Molan) to make more direct connections within the clan.

Ye Molan learned from Duanmu Molan's memory that Duanmu Fengyang, the patriarch of the Duanmu clan, was one of the cronies placed by the Southern Emperor in Wulin. Later, Duanmu Fengyang and Duanmu Qiming stood in different queues, and the two cousins ​​ended up

After a falling out, everyone returns to his own owner.

After Ye Molan thought about it carefully, he decided to take out 10 small jade Buddhas and donate them to the clan. In Ye Molan's eyes, these were not valuable. The advantage was that the jadeite here did not have this kind of carving style. The same models sold to pawn shops before were all made by Ye Molan.

In the hand, the quantity is small, so it is a little rare. Whether it is inlaid on a hairpin, earrings, or a gold ring, machine carving is used on small pieces of jade, showing a look that cannot be achieved by hand.

The lines achieved are thin, straight and smooth, and look very delicate.

In this way, it will not steal the limelight from the big figures in the clan in the past, but it can also surprise everyone!

After all, Duanmu Molan is only 8 years old.

Of course, the value of the 10 small jade Buddhas that Ye Molan donated to the clan was ten times higher than the pair of Xiu jade bracelets that were added as a dowry to Duanmujie, the sister-in-law of the soon-to-be-Crown Princess.

(Note: Jade is valued for its beauty. Good-looking Xiu jade is worth more than ordinary jade. Although it is the same Xiu jade, it is also divided into different phases and grades.)

To be honest, for the pair of Xiu jade bracelets he gave to Duanmujie, Ye Mo Lan specially selected stone jade that had no aura in it. It had a lot of asbestos, was prone to water leakage, and had several internal cracks.

When the collections donated by all the clan members were announced, the mistress of Duanmu Mansion, Duanmujie's mother, turned black... She felt uncomfortable. She had always thought that the 8-year-old Duanmu Mo Lan was given to her eldest sister.

Duanmu Jie’s pair of Xiu jade bracelets were made by that mean girl (Duanmu Molan) who wanted to please her eldest sister. Now it seems that Duanmu Molan values ​​​​the clan status of the Duanmu family more. How could such an 8-year-old girl who was born as a concubine do this?

With such a scheming mind? Someone must have taught her behind the scenes?

Duanmujie always liked to be the best in all occasions, and the donated items were: several calligraphy and paintings painted by Duanmujie herself, a blue and white porcelain tea set, a silk brocade screen, and a set of malachite jewelry.

In addition to Duanmujie's status as the quasi-Crown Princess, everyone has to give her face. If Duanmujie is flattered and flattered to the heavens, there will naturally be people who will flatter Duanmujie's calligraphy and painting to the heavens in order to flatter the quasi-Crown Princess.
