He was a little afraid that Lord Lin would turn against him, because although the Cheng family was a noble family, they did not have much competitiveness in politics. It was thanks to Lord Lin's support over the years that they had a complementary relationship.

"What's the matter, Lord Lin? Why are you looking at me like that?"

The Minister of Rites planned to play dumb and asked Lord Lin.

"Tell me, how did you know there was a second half to today's auction? If you knew, why didn't you tell me? Do you want to embarrass me?"

"It's unfair, Lord Lin, how could this humble official have such intention?"

The Minister of Personnel's old face shook rapidly, and even his cheeks swayed with it, his face full of innocence and fear.

"You better be, then how did you know?"

"Lord, speaking of which, this is the news that my youngest daughter Cheng Xi got. She said that Ru City has been in turmoil these days and it is inconvenient for women to enter the city, so she asked me to bring gifts here. Now it is just in time for use."

"Where did she get the news from?"

"I heard that he heard a girl talking to someone in a teahouse and brought the news home. Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is always good to know the truth."

After he finished explaining, Lord Lin's expression was not as ugly as before. He must have believed it halfway.

"Besides, none of my eldest daughters are as reliable as this girl. I can't take her words seriously. Her brain..."

Elder Lin nodded. In their impression, Cheng Xi was indeed not a normal person. If he was normal, how could he sit on the ground in public and not get up no matter what others said?

He shook his head. This really couldn't be blamed on the Cheng family. He still had to make use of the Cheng family's background. This was not the time for Iran to break off relations.

"Your daughter is a fool with good fortune. Master Cheng, good luck."

"I am ashamed. I am really ashamed to say this."

The Minister of Personnel shook his head with a look of sadness and regret. Lord Lin didn't want to rub salt into the wound, so he had to turn his attention back to Hua Qiming.

"Princess Guihua, may I ask what Prime Minister Hua donated?"

Lan Wangshu was eating melons. She didn't expect that the Minister of Personnel was so good at acting. She thought that if Cheng Xi was willing to help in this matter, Elder Lin, who was a vengeful person, would give the Cheng family a critical blow.

She was still thinking about her future plans when she suddenly heard her title.

"This one……"

She was a little slow to react for a moment, and could only pretend to be embarrassed and stammer, acting like she knew nothing.

"Hahaha, Prime Minister Hua, you are bragging, right? The county princess clearly knows nothing."

Hua Qiming frowned, not knowing what Lan Wangshu was up to, but he felt that Lan Wangshu would not cause him trouble at this time.

"County Lady, Hua donated a very special item. Have you forgotten? At that time, you said it was really rare."

Lan Wangshu suddenly realized what he had just said.

"Ah~"

Lan Wangshu sighed and both of them became nervous. Elder Lin was already prepared to start making fun of Hua Qiming, but Hua Qiming was afraid that Lan Wangshu would play a trick on him at this time, which would be a real disgrace to his reputation and face.

"As the host, I'm supposed to keep it a secret, but since everyone is so curious, why don't we just come and take a look."

Lan Wangshu spread out his palms, lying flat on the ground with his palms facing upwards, without saying a word.

Everyone looked towards her palm, and some even stood up.

"What? There's clearly nothing here."

"Yeah, I thought it was just my old eyesight that was blurring out."

"What is this county lord up to?"

"I don't know. Just say women can't do that."

Lan Wangshu listened to all the gossip. At this time, Gaoqiao also put on his mask and came down from the beam. Everyone only saw a black shadow going up and down.

Looking at Lan Wangshu's palm again, he saw a stack of papers on it.

Lan Wangshu shook out the papers and took them away one by one.

"The first lot is provided by Dingzhenlou. It is a gilt enamel cloisonné dressing box made of gold-thread nanmu wood. The lid is inlaid with a mirror that can be used to find one's shadow."

Wu Yan pushed a small cart out from the back, took off the red cloth on it, and opened the wooden lid. Sure enough, there was a silver mirror inlaid inside, through which the faces of everyone present could be clearly seen.

Everyone rushed forward, looked at themselves in the mirror, then looked at the people around them, and marveled.

This was a gift she gave to Li Yanhuan and He Jinyu. She had planned to add the mirror on a whim, but she hadn't expected the effect to be so bad.

At the same time, it would not be surprising if a small mirror appeared in Zui Fu Sheng in the future, and her business would have a new track.

Lan Wangshu waved his hand, and Wu Yan closed the lid and covered it with the red cloth again.
