Looking for you in reincarnation

Her ghost flute is now very famous. Even if the news is deliberately suppressed, the enemy's means of finding out the news are amazing. Moreover, such shocking things spread very quickly. Anyone who does not live in seclusion in the mountains or never leaves the house has basically heard of it.

So even though the auctioneer spoke vaguely and mentioned it in a simple sentence, many people present could understand it. Moreover, with the auctioneer's strong praise, people felt that this was a treasured evil-controlling weapon second only to the Ghost Ocarina!

As a result, this spiritual jade flute was sold at a sky-high price!

In the end, it was bought by a distinguished guest in the private room upstairs for five thousand taels!

Next, there are some similar items, and the final prices are quite high.

Of course, apart from this special period, these things are sold at such high prices mainly because they are made by some well-known masters and are of good quality.

Later, when it was time to auction some of the jewels, the bidding was noticeably less enthusiastic.

What is being auctioned at this time is a complete set of pearl head ornaments. The workmanship of this set of jewelry is very fine and gorgeous. Each bead is of the same size. Under the illumination of the surrounding candlelight, it shines like a moon halo.

Yue Fuli then spoke and asked, "Do you like it?"

His voice was low and calm, as if he was just asking casually.

Si He leaned on my shoulder and said with a smile: "I already have a lot of jewelry, there is no need to take pictures again."

She was speaking the truth. She now had so many jewelries that she couldn't wear them all.

He said: "Not much, if you like it, take a picture."

His tone remained calm, but if you listened carefully, you could still hear a hint of seriousness in his words.

Hearing this, Si He's smile deepened, but she still refused: "I don't like this."

Now that the territory has expanded and the number of troops under her command has also increased a lot, military supplies are a huge expense. She doesn't want him to spend money on these expensive jewelry, and she really doesn't lack jewelry.

But it would be a bit of a letdown to reject his kindness, so she decided to just say she didn't like it.

"Okay." Yue Fuli responded and didn't say anything more.

Finally, this set of pearl headwear was sold at a high price of six hundred taels of silver.

Next, they soon arrived at the inkstone that Si He had taken a fancy to.

The black jade condenses into smoke.

After the auctioneer had the items brought to the platform, he began to describe the inkstone.

"This Black Jade Condensing Mist Inkstone was crafted by the master Zhao Xuan of the previous dynasty. He used his knife as a brush and stone as paper. His lifelong pursuit was to make the stone speak. His craftsmanship is admirable, and his skills are renowned far and wide."

"This inkstone is an extraordinary piece. It is the essence of a piece of rock carved from the old pit of Duanxi. The stone color is dark, like the frozen night, and it has a faint luster like black jade. It is of excellent quality."

"The carving on the inkstone fully demonstrates Master Zhao Xuan's style. In the center of the pond, he dug deep with a round knife and then lightly scratched with a sharp knife, revealing the texture of the stone, as if ink were swirling within it."

"On the outside of the inkstone pool, a coiled dragon is carved. Its body doesn't protrude from the surface, but rather appears to be struggling to awaken from the depths of the stone."

……

The auctioneer dutifully and in detail described the inkstone before finally announcing the reserve price: two hundred taels of silver.

Although this was made by a master from the previous dynasty, Zhao Xuan carved too many inkstones, so the price would not be too expensive. Moreover, the starting price of two hundred taels of silver is not low in today's world.

"Two hundred and fifty taels!"

"Two hundred and eighty taels!"

"Three hundred taels!"

……

At this time, people started bidding in Ruyuan Building, and Yue Fuli asked Gao Zi to participate in the bidding as well.

In the end, it was sold for four hundred and eighty taels of silver. The price was quite high, but not as outrageous as the other items.

After a while, the manager of Ruyuan Tower personally delivered the things. They were nicely packed in a brocade box, and some high-quality pens, ink and paper were also included. It was basically a complete set with pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

The total value of these things was no less than the price of the inkstone. This was clearly an attempt to please him. After putting the things down, he left quietly without saying anything more.

Si He has become accustomed to this, because since the day she entered the city, all the noble families in the city have sent people to her house to give gifts. After all, the city has a new owner, and there will be no fewer underlying rules.

In this regard, Yue Fuli's methods were considered mild. Si He had learned about some situations in other places. After conquering new territories, some forces would exploit the nobles and gentry in the city to replenish military supplies. Therefore, the situation was relatively bad and there were complaints everywhere.

Of course, Yue Fuli did not use these means, not because he was soft-hearted, but because the territory of Zhongzhou needed stability now. His power had expanded too fast, and if there was unrest at this time, it would be a big trouble.

So as far as gift-giving is concerned, it is already insignificant and very generous.

Si He picked up the inkstone from the brocade box and looked at it carefully.

This thing is very good and exquisite.

The back of the inkstone holds an even more hidden secret. It cleverly utilizes the naturally formed ice patterns and frost marks of the stone to transform a dark stone vein into a steep and rugged ridge.

On both sides of the ridge, several pine trees are carved in bas-relief and openwork methods. The pine needles are as fine as hair, and the needle tips seem to tremble in the wind.

The soul of the stone is skillfully carved by the blade, like a fog-shrouded mountain scenery in late autumn, with glimpses of the mist and hills in between, just like the name of this inkstone, Xuanyu Ningyan.

Si He turned over the inkstone and looked at the bottom of the inkstone. There were several lines of inscriptions engraved on it. The handwriting was thin and strong, like the trunk of an old plum tree.

There is some ink rust on the edges of the characters, like moss growing on an ancient stele. Instead of looking dirty, it adds some ancient charm to the characters.

Si He took a look and then looked back at the front. What she liked most was the Chilong carved on the inkstone. The dragon's claws were tightly clasped on the edge of the inkstone, and the claw tips were deeply embedded in the stone, full of strength to fight against the wind and clouds.

The Chilong looks back and glares at the inkstone pool, as if it is about to plunge into the ink abyss at any time, vivid and lifelike.

Si He became more and more satisfied as she looked at it. She then looked up at Yue Fuli and asked, "What do you think, my husband?"

The main thing is that he likes it.

Yue Fuli looked at her with a smile and said, "It's okay."

She muttered to herself, so picky.

However, this inkstone is not important. What is important is that it reminds him that he still owes her a painting, a beautiful painting.

She was wondering what kind of clothes she should ask the embroiderer to make.

However, Yue Fuli is very busy recently, so there is no rush for him to paint, so the embroiderer doesn't need to be too anxious and can take her time.

As she thought so, she spoke the same way to Yue Fuli.

As for clothes, he said: "I will find the best embroiderer to make clothes for you."

He thought that after the task was completed, he would wait until she put on the most luxurious dress and then paint her.
