Hong Tianqiao glared and slapped her son who couldn't control his mouth, then quickly smiled and said to her niece.

“Although your cousin’s words are harsh, his point is true.

But I see that Kang Yuanchun is willing to treat your family so attentively, so he will definitely treat you well in the future. While he is paying attention to you now, you should make it a habit for him to treat you well and let him get used to it."

"I know, aunt."

Hong Wenchu ​​carefully took note of his aunt's teachings and nodded.

She had seen how her uncle treated her aunt and was very envious.

Even my parents, who always boasted of their loving relationship, were far inferior to my uncle and aunt.

She also hoped that her husband would treat her like her uncle treated her aunt.

So she kept in mind every word her aunt said.

What they didn't know was that the aroma of the food coming from their Room No. 1 had also aroused the appetite of the others, who all clamored for the same portion.

This sudden surge of business brought Tao Ranxiang another wave of business, causing it to close early today before its usual closing time.

The Bai family had just finished their meal and had their dishes removed when the auction finally began.

The auctioneer at the auction was a beautiful woman in her thirties, who looked like a very capable sales elite.

The first item to be auctioned was a guqin that the Kang family themselves took out.

The Kang family initially made a living by making musical instruments. Later, because Kang Yuanchun's father, when he was still a teenager, sold musical instruments everywhere and even went overseas on a ship, he gained more experience and his business became more and more diversified, and later he did everything.

Gradually, he rose to the position of royal merchant, but the Kang family's zithers were always the first choice for zither lovers in Longguo.

However, the earliest group of luthiers were too old to make the instruments anymore, and some are no longer alive, so the instruments they passed down have become unique pieces.

Every year, many people want to buy it. The Kang family is not stupid. Everyone knows that rare things are valuable.

Once a luthier passes away, all the luthiers he left behind will no longer be sold casually.

Every year during the auction, the Kang family would give out one or two lottery tickets as an opening prize.

When an item comes out for auction, the maidservant will explain the origin to the guests so that the guests can better understand how rare the item is.

The Bai family couldn't help but admire the Kang family's strong business acumen.

"Then do you know that the Kang family has a zither called Fengyin? Which zither maker made it?"

Bai Jin'an thought of her sister's Fengyin sword and asked the attendant.

"The Wind Song was made by Kang's great-great-great-grandmother two hundred years ago, but this year it was won by a young girl with excellent musical skills."

As for who was accompanying him, I don't know.

Only the Bai family knew how precious the Fengyin sword that Bai Jintong won was.

"Twelve thousand two or three times!"

"when!"

The auctioneer made the final decision.

"Congratulations, this phoenix-tail harp was won by Room 2!"

"Sister, I think that zither is far inferior to your Fengyin. You must keep your Fengyin well."

Bai Jin'an whispered to her sister.

"Look, isn't that the screen embroidered by my cousin?"

The second lot is on stage.

"The second lot is a rare double-sided crane longevity painting!"

“Is this the work of Tu Xiu Niang?”

Someone in the audience saw the beautiful double-sided embroidered crane longevity picture and asked in surprise.

"Yes, only Lady Tu can embroider such beautiful embroidery."

"This embroidery...Mrs. Tu's embroidery skills are exquisite!"

The auctioneer on the stage smiled and shook his head, "No, this is White Snake's embroidery!"

"What White Snake? Where did she come from? I've never heard of her."

"That's right, but the crane longevity painting is indeed very beautiful."

“It just so happens that the old lady in the family is having her birthday next month.

This picture of the crane is suitable for her birthday celebration. "

Many people were whispering. After all, no one had ever heard of a famous embroiderer named White Snake. The only famous ones in the capital were Tu Xiu Niang and her apprentice, and her apprentice's surname was not Bai.

The embroidery works of Tu Xiu Niang and her apprentices are also very valuable. Only ten pairs are produced every year and ordinary people cannot buy them.

But it has never appeared at an auction.

Everyone also thought that anything that appeared at this auction must not be an ordinary item.

Then the auction host spoke again.

“This is a beautiful double-sided embroidery!”

As the auctioneer spoke, he slowly rotated the Crane Longevity Painting for everyone in the audience to see carefully.

Under the screen is a rotating base specially prepared for the venue.

“The embroidery frame is made of the finest mahogany, with smooth lines and polished finish, giving it a dignified and elegant look.

The screen surface is made of the finest palace silk, and the silk thread is also made of top-grade natural silk.

On one side of the embroidery, there is a picture of cranes in various poses standing on the evergreen pine tree, greeting the rising sun. On the other side, there is a picture of cranes standing under nine plump and tempting longevity peaches. Both sides are dignified and handsome, gorgeous and nourishing. It is a birthday gift with excellent meaning!

The whole screen is seven feet high and eight feet wide. If you put it in your room and look at it every day, you will get its spirit! It is very pleasing to the eyes and makes you feel better.

The starting price is two thousand taels!"

The auctioneer described it so vividly that I wanted to take out every silk thread and finely shave it.

Bai Jintong couldn't believe that she had embroidered this, but she had indeed specially picked out the two best-looking ones for the double-sided crane longevity picture.

The starting price was two thousand taels, which was beyond her expectations.

Not to mention raising the price, as long as someone buys it, she will make a lot of money.

"Three thousand taels!"

The person in box number two was the one who had just bought the guqin. He was the first to make a bid and he directly raised the price by one thousand taels.

"What a rich man this is!"

The item being auctioned was their own embroidery, and Bai Jintong and her family were very excited. The whole family was silent, waiting to see how much money it could get.

"Three thousand two hundred taels!"

Someone made a bid, and even if the price was raised by two hundred taels, it made the whole family excited again.

Bai Jintong was already calculating how much supplies he could buy with the sale of the screen.

I don’t know when the system will receive the reward.

Just as I was thinking about picking up the cup to drink water, an idea suddenly occurred to me.

Isn’t water also a kind of material?

If the world really does end, water resources will be indispensable!

Well, I'll go back and collect a few tons of water and see.

"Four thousand taels!"

It was someone shouting from box number two.

"Five thousand taels!"

As soon as the five thousand was called out, everyone in the Bai family couldn't wait to go out and see who it was.

Now the whole family knows that Bai Jintong has a long-term task of collecting supplies, and collecting supplies inevitably requires money.

"Six thousand taels!"

Seeing that someone was competing with him for the No. 2 box, he did not raise the price like those before him who had raised the price a little at a time, but instead raised the price by another 1,000 taels.

Bai Jintong's face turned red with excitement.

Even if we deduct the 5% commission given to the Kang family, we can still earn several thousand taels, enough to buy a lot of supplies!
