"What are the princess sisters going to do?" Xiao Ling scratched her head and said, "I don't know too much. It seems that I am going to participate in the auction and need some money. The sycamore wood is more precious, so I need to sell it...
The corners of Hua Qianshu's mouth twitched, and he roared loudly, "You still said it was a loan?! You are all going to sell it, so dare you say it is a loan?!"
Xiao Ling curled his lips and said, "I didn't say I want to pay it back..."
"you!"
Hua Qianshu almost died of anger, took a deep breath, calmed himself a little bit, and then said: "Now, do you know how precious this brand is?"
"Got it."
"Then dare not borrow it?"
"No, I still have to borrow!"
"Me!" Hua Qianshu said angrily: "I really want to slap you to death! That stinky boy Lu Yu doesn't know what to do, so why did he accept you such a brainless apprentice?"
Xiao Ling was not angry this time, but grinned and said: "I know it is precious, but so what? No matter how precious it is, it is no more precious than my promise. As the master said, I am indeed not smart enough, the only Perhaps the advantage of this is that I have done what I said, and I promised Sister Princess, then I would lend this brand to her. Whether this brand is precious or not, what does it have to do with me?"
Hua Qianshu was stunned.
He found that the other party was really unreasonable, but because of this, he felt that it should be natural.
After all, she is the only apprentice of Lu Yu!
In this position, even Hua Qianshu himself and Lu Qian didn't have the qualifications.
She is.
She also has her own personality and has the capital to stick to it.
Looking at Xiao Ling's gaze, Hua Qianshu sighed after all.
"Anyway, you are also Lu Yu's only apprentice. He doesn't like his family. If he really dies or leaves for a long time, what he has should naturally belong to you."
With that, Hua Qianshu delivered the wooden sign to Xiao Ling's hand.
He looked straight and said: "But you have to remember that all these things belong to you, but you can't help ruining them at will. Lu Yu will come back eventually. In the long run, these things will be yours after all. You can’t handle even this wooden sign. The future will be so big that I can’t even imagine the family business... I’m afraid it’s beyond your control. If you respect your master, take this family business for him. Keep it, can you?"
"So much nonsense!"
Xiao Ling put the wooden sign into his arms at will, as if he didn't know the value and meaning it represented.
Hua Qianshu's cheek twitched a few more times, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "There is one more thing you must observe. This wooden sign can be borrowed and you can use it, but you must never give it to the first princess. On hand, do you understand? You can just buy what she wants to buy."
Xiao Ling got a little impatient, stood up, made a big grimace at Hua Qianshu, and then said, "You really think I'm a fool?!"
This sentence made Hua Qianshu stunned, and then... was shocked in his heart.
He didn't realize until now that he... was tempted!
Xiao Ling came to ask for this brand. On the one hand, he really wanted to fulfill his promise. On the other hand, he wanted to test what Hua Qianshu's attitude was during the time Lu Yu was away.
Hua Qianshu stared at Xiao Ling leaving, then sat down, gave a wry smile, and sighed: "That's right, she is Lu Yu's apprentice after all, so how can she fail to get acquainted after so long and careful teaching? I'm afraid it's what you got. , It may not be refined by her alone."
Lu Qian curled her lips and said, "Xiao Yu has always been an eccentric guy. We didn't know this long ago."
…
The capital of the Great Jade Kingdom is really undergoing a bidding.
This is still a form of transaction borrowed from ordinary people. In many cases, many things are not priced, only a group of people are surrounded first, and then the one with the higher price gets the price.
It's just that the things that are auctioned this time are not ordinary, but land!
After the war, the soldiers sacrificed and left a large area of uncultivated land. The family was unable to cultivate, so they could only sell it. When there were more people, the price would naturally drop, and there was a tendency to sell off. This is one of them.
Secondly, in terms of rewards, not only the living people have rewards, but also the dead, and even more. Naturally, the most rewarded is land. Those old and weak women and children have no way to cultivate. It is better to sell some money and food to make life better. .
Although a lot of land has been turned into Huajia dart tickets through the Huajia caravans, which can be exchanged for other things, but... still a large part of the land is in urgent need of being sold in this way.
Therefore, His Majesty couldn't bear that those heroic orphans were deceived and exploited by profiteers, so he specially divided the land and made such an auction, which was considered a kind of alternative welfare.
It is kind and selfish.
Because as long as the auction, the royal family will also participate.
Although there is a saying, "Is there a king in the world", in fact, the royal family is only the largest family and owns the most land, but compared with the scope of the entire Great Jade Country, it appears to be very small.
His Majesty has no control over most of the land, and in this auction, the royal family can use their family's money and food to purchase, which can make the royal power stronger.
But in any case, since it's an auction, everything is in terms of money, whether it's royal or other, if there is no money, there is nothing.
In particular, the royal family is now poor. After all, the previous battle with the Eastern Jin Dynasty cost a lot of money and food, and the treasury was empty. The rest of the families in the country would never be obliged to provide money to support them. My own family's laurels.
I heard that the first princess sold a lot of her beloved jewelry, which was sold at a high price, but most of the people who bought it were men and very few women. As for what they will do after buying it... it is the benevolent.
It's just that in this auction, the first princess who signed up was the first princess, who signed up as an individual instead of a royal name.
Many people are speculating that this is the first princess preparing to save herself a little dowry.
The venue for the auction seemed a bit simple, with a huge square and a dense crowd.
It was in sharp contrast with the people who participated in the auction, because the Lord of the Great Jade Kingdom was sitting in it in casual clothes at this time.
Far away from him, in a location close to the front desk, the first princess looked at Xiao Ling next to her and couldn't help but smile and said, "I didn't expect you to actually get it."
Xiao Ling smiled and said: "How can I break my promise when I promised? But you can only borrow the function of the wooden sign, but you can only hold it in my hand, or the Huaqianshu has to mumble me to death."
The first princess nodded and said: "My palace really has no guts now, hold it in your hand."
Xiao Ling smiled, shaking the wooden sign in his hand.
At this time, the auction began, without much publicity, or even any opening. A Minister of Household of the Great Jade Kingdom, holding the title deed, began the auction for the first piece of land.
