Chapter 196 Who is the troublemaker?
Author: Rongtu
The clear and cold male voice fell, and a gasp appeared in the entire venue.
Someone really dares to challenge the distinguished guest on the second floor. Is this at the expense of your life?!
If this hibiscus white jade is really taken back to save lives, the whole family's lives may be at risk.
Seeing her husband buying her favorite treasure for one hundred thousand taels of silver, Bai Ruoxue was happily enjoying the envious gaze of the eldest daughter of the Shen family.
But he didn't want to be interrupted by the shouting of prices downstairs, and the woman's complexion changed again and again in the shadow of the candlelight.
Bai Ruoxue's body was covered with various jewelry that Su Zheng had bought for her over the years. Whether the hibiscus and white jade was important to her was not the most important thing.
The most important thing was that she showed off her status in Su Zheng's heart in front of outsiders, but she was slapped in the face as soon as she was proud, which made the woman very dissatisfied.
"Brother Su, it seems that someone doesn't want to give you the face of the Prime Minister!"
Shen Tang took a sip of tea and joked with a look on his face, "Are you going to continue to increase the price, or are you just going to give up on this rare treasure that is hard to find in a century?"
What Shen Tang said added fuel to the fire. Since it is hard to find for a hundred years, as the prime minister of a country, he naturally has the strength and conditions to win.
But if he gave up the argument in the end, he would lose Su Zheng's face and lose more than he gained.
"Besides coming to the auction today to support His Royal Highness Prince Jin, the more important thing is to do something important for the sister of the Shen family, isn't it?"
Su Zheng glanced at Shen Tang and turned his army around.
He sneered in his heart, and his eyes showed a hint of coldness that was different from before.
But he, Shen Tang, came to his door and asked him to introduce Miss Shen to the King of Jin as a child. Now that he has been involved in this situation, he still wants to be alone?
dream!
Shen Tang was choked and smiled awkwardly.
"Brother Su is joking, I am naturally on the same front as you!"
He quickly sat up straight with a flattering look on his face, "His Royal Highness Prince Jin's bureau brother must support him, and he will definitely not let a commoner refute Brother Su's face!"
Hearing this, Su Zheng smiled with satisfaction, raised his eyes and motioned for his servants to continue lighting the lamp.
"Look, there are additional lights on the second floor!"
The guests downstairs stretched their necks to look at Su Zheng's box, silently counting the lights that were being lit.
After a while, thirty lights were neatly arranged on both sides of the box.
"Three hundred thousand taels! Suddenly an additional one hundred thousand taels were added!"
"This person has such a determined attitude, I'm afraid no one will dare to fight anymore."
Just when everyone thought that the hibiscus and white jade flower had fallen into the pocket of the distinguished guest on the second floor, the cold male voice sounded again.
"Five hundred thousand taels."
The whole venue was in an uproar instantly.
The obviously excessive bidding attracted the distinguished guests on the second floor to open the gauze curtains one after another, wanting to see who was so bold and powerful.
Unfortunately, only the high platform in the venue was brightly lit, and the guests below were gathered together, making it impossible to tell which guest the sound came from.
Even the masked woman on the booth had a look of surprise in her eyes. She must have never expected that the first auction item would create such fierce competition.
According to the rules of the auction, the later the lot is, the more precious it is, which means its starting price will be higher.
If the first lot is sold for 500,000 silver, the reserve price of all subsequent lots will be increased.
While the guests were discussing, the woman raised her head and looked towards a private room.
Seeing that there was no movement from the people inside, he understood what his master meant.
"Please be patient and calm."
The penetrating voice suppressed the commotion of the crowd, and the woman said calmly, "The current bidding price for Hibiscus White Jade is 500,000 yuan. If you are interested, please increase the price."
As an organizer, naturally the more you make, the happier you will be.
At this time, Su Zheng's face in the box turned completely gloomy. He didn't even care about Shen Tang who was still beside him. He stood up and walked to the gauze curtain and opened it. His sinister eyes scanned the densely packed third-class seats below.
"Five hundred thousand taels once, five hundred thousand..."
"Eight hundred thousand taels!"
An angry voice came down from the second floor, and the guests on the first floor were stunned into silence by Su Zheng's momentum.
At this time, they also completely saw that this distinguished guest was none other than the current Prime Minister, Su Zheng.
Everyone was immediately frightened into silence, and even the sounds of private discussions disappeared.
The woman on the booth was stunned for a moment, then showed a satisfied smile.
"Thank you for this distinguished guest."
The only sound in the venue was the sound of the woman's throat, and Su Zheng's expression softened slightly at this moment.
After turning around and sitting down, he reached out and took his beloved wife into his arms.
His raised chin and lowered eyebrows were full of contempt for the lower class, just like a god looking down at the ants in the lower world.
The whole hall was silent for a moment. Seeing that no one raised the price, the woman on the high platform slowly spoke.
"The current price of hibiscus white jade is eight hundred thousand taels."
"Eight hundred thousand taels once, eight hundred thousand taels twice, eighty..."
"One million taels."
The man's voice came faintly again.
The already silent venue was filled with the sound of men's voices calling out prices.
The guests broke out in cold sweat when they thought of Su Zheng's identity and methods.
It seems that he is the one causing trouble and raising prices, and his life will be in jeopardy in the next moment.
Su Zheng never expected that even though he had shown his face, the other party could continue the confrontation so boldly.
His back molars were clenched tightly. This was probably the first time in so many years since Xiao Hongyan's death that he had felt such anger and shame.
Just as he was about to speak, Bai Ruoxue stopped him.
"Sir, the reason why we came to the auction this time is to support His Highness Prince Jin and buy some trinkets that suit our hearts."
"Since someone is willing to buy Lotus White Jade for one million taels, it can be considered that we have helped His Highness Prince Jin raise the price a lot. Our goal has been achieved, hasn't it?"
"Madam, this is not what you have in mind, okay?"
Su Zheng's eyes looked at Bai Ruoxue with tenderness for a moment, and his fingertips were caressing each other's. This scene was truly a team of gods and goddesses with a deep love for each other.
"No matter how much I love it, it's not worth one million taels of silver."
The woman snuggled into Su Zheng's arms as tenderly as water, looking at him with a pair of watery eyes, "Ruoxue just asks her husband not to dislike my old age and fading appearance in the future. With my husband's love, hibiscus and white jade are nothing."
"How could I dislike you?"
The soft spot in the center was poked, Su Zheng hugged Bai Ruoxue tightly with an affectionate look on his face, "I will only love you in this life."
Otherwise, his wife Xiao Hongyan would not have died innocently just a few years after getting married.
Isn't it just that Bai Ruoxue can live in the Su family "uprightly" and become Su Zheng's real wife?
The drama of deep love between husband and wife ended, and everyone with a discerning eye knew that the Prime Minister had given up on Furong Baiyu.
"One million twice, one million twice, one million two or three times!"
"Bang!"
The gong sounded, and the woman smiled softly, "Congratulations to this distinguished guest, for pocketing one million taels of hibiscus and white jade."
