After Kong Xiaoxiao and the other person finished their tour, the conference was about to begin.

A very large and wide platform had been built in the pavilion, with pots of colorful flowers placed on the platform.

Kong Xiaoxiao was speechless again.

Are you going to sell flowers again?

After an incense stick of time, the prefect sat firmly on the chair in the middle of the platform, and behind him stood the majestic yamen runners. The prefect waved his hand lightly, and a yamen runner came to the front with a gong and struck the gong with full energy.

Boom, boom, boom, …

"The annual Hundred Flowers Festival is about to begin. Visitors in the sea of ​​flowers, please quickly go to the atrium and take a seat."

Before the voice on the stage faded, people in the sea of ​​flowers rushed towards the big pavilion like a tide.

Within a stick of incense's time, all the seats were occupied.

Kong Xiaoxiao and the other three sat in the first row without hesitation.

At this time, the prefect finally stood up slowly and said in a clear voice: "Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend the Hundred Flowers Fair in Huadu City. The flowers behind me are the protagonists of today's fair. Today's fair is to auction these flowers. If there is a flower you like, you can spend a lot of money. The highest bidder wins."

After the prefect finished speaking, he sat down again.

The yamen runner holding a gong immediately stepped onto the platform and began to preside over the meeting.

"The first flower to be auctioned today is this pink lotus lantern in my hand. The starting price is one tael of silver."

The yamen runners stopped talking, the gong sounded, and with a "dong" sound, they shouted loudly: "Start shooting!"

Kong Xiaoxiao raised her eyes and looked carefully at the pot of pink lotus lanterns. It was indeed beautiful. The bracts were blooming like pink petals, tender and juicy. It would surely win the hearts of the ladies and girls.

Sure enough, bidding sounds came one after another.

"The Ding family offers five taels of silver!"

"The Zhou family offers six taels of silver!"

……

"Everyone, Mr. Wang's wife likes this precious lotus lantern very much. My family will offer 10 taels of silver. Please give it to me. Mr. Wang will be very grateful."

Mr. Wang Ba, who dotes on his wife, sees that his wife stares at the Precious Lotus Lantern more often than at himself, and he is very upset, so he has to step forward and take away the Precious Lotus Lantern.

Mrs. Wang looked at her husband with surprise and joy. Her eyes were like the most beautiful peach blossoms in spring, blooming with love.

She didn't expect that in such an important occasion, the master would still notice her preferences. A sweet warmth welled up in her heart, and her cheeks flushed with shyness like the sunset. The look in her eyes when she looked at Master Wang Ba was almost tearing out threads.

When Mr. Wang saw the affectionate look on his wife's face, his heart felt as sweet as honey and he felt relaxed all over.

A pot of flowers can bring a beautiful woman's smile, it's totally worth it!

Everyone also gave face to Mr. Wang Ba. After all, there were so many flowers of different colors here, and they would definitely find one they liked later.

So, this first pot of precious lotus lantern naturally became Mrs. Wang's property.

"The second pot of flowers is our king of flowers - peony, which symbolizes wealth and peace. The starting price is two taels of silver. Friends who are interested, start bidding!"

Following the sound of a gong by the yamen runner, someone else took action.

"Liu family three taels!"

"Zhang's Grain Shop, four taels!"

"The He family offers five taels of silver!"

The He family? Aren't they the ones who were blackmailed by her for a thousand taels today? Suddenly, she sneered, and a plan came to her mind. She shouted loudly: "The Kong family pays ten taels of silver!"

He Junlin looked at Kong Xiaoxiao in surprise and asked in confusion, "My dear, are you interested in this flower?" Then he pointed in the direction of the He family and laughed, "You didn't do it on purpose, did you?"

"Hmm, what else? Why would I buy flowers?"

"I admire you so much! Your brain works so fast!"

He Junlin couldn't help but admire Kong Xiaoxiao. She played tricks one after another. The He family was in trouble now.

Today, Lin Yehai was actually cheated out of a thousand taels by Kong Xiaoxiao! Yingying had long been dissatisfied with this. If she couldn't even bid for a pot of flowers she loved, she would definitely make a scene again when she returned.

When Lin Yehai saw someone offering such a high price, he couldn't help but have a bad feeling in his heart.

He clenched his back teeth and quoted the price: "15 taels for the He family."

However, Kong Xiaoxiao showed no sign of weakness: "20 taels from the Kong family."

Lin Yehai couldn't help but feel angry. How could this family be so ignorant? Why couldn't they help him and give the flower to him, and then bid for other flowers?

"30 taels for the He family!"

The scene suddenly became noisy.

A pot of small peonies was sold at a sky-high price of 30 taels!

Everyone was surprised. Why did the two families have to fight for this pot of peony? They really didn't understand.

After all, the main purpose of everyone coming to participate in this Hundred Flowers Conference is to make friends with the prefect.

Kong Xiaoxiao didn't mind the trouble and continued to raise the price with a smile on her face.

"Kong family 40 taels!"

Seeing that the Kong family was determined to get Mudan, Lin Yehai became conflicted.

Or just give up and go back to comfort Yingying.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned around to see Nian Yingying's eyes that seemed to want to eat him alive.

He shouted at the top of his lungs as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

"50 taels for the He family!"

This time we should be able to get it.

When Kong Xiaoxiao saw that Lin Yehai had raised the price to 50 taels, she knew that he had reached his limit and had no intention of raising the price any further.

Although Yingying was entangled with Lin Yehai this year, she kept a very strict control over money.

Lin Yehai had only 50 taels of weight on his body.

The one thousand taels that were extorted today were originally intended for Nian Yingying to use to support her at the Hundred Flowers Conference, but she didn't expect that she would be intercepted by her halfway.

Thinking of this, Kong Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sneered, and then said: "Since the He family wants this pot of peony so much, then my Kong family will not do anything to take away someone's favorite thing."

When Lin Yehai heard this, he gnashed his teeth in anger.

The Kong family must have done this on purpose!

He always felt that the voice was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.

Forget it, at least I can take a picture of this pot of flowers.

Recently, his relationship with Nian Yingying has become somewhat delicate.

If he doesn't work harder, he will be ruthlessly abandoned by her.

He hasn't made any money yet, so how could he be willing to give up everything?

Lin Yehai stood up and took the peony from the yamen runner. He turned around and stared at Nian Yingying with ardent eyes, saying flatteringly, "Mother Ying, I have the peony. Now you won't blame me anymore, will you?"

Nian Yingying raised her eyelids slightly, glanced at the peony flowers, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

She has always loved the feeling of being surrounded by people like a star.

As long as Lin Yehai could serve her obediently, she would be kind to him.

Then, she looked at Lin Yehai with loving eyes: "Well, Lin Lang, you treat me so well."

The two of them were so hypocritical and calculating towards each other, they were truly a match made in heaven.
