Reborn, I was pursued by the Prince of the Broken Sleeves
Chapter 24 The Boss Behind the Scenes
Those who can enter the auction house either have an introduction or have silver as collateral in the auction house. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter.
Qingluan stopped in front of Su Manman and said, "Miss, be careful."
Su Manman took out a green seal from her sleeve and handed it over, "I want to see your head."
When the guard saw this, he was surprised and said respectfully, "Young lady, please come in."
"Girl" Qingluan was surprised.
She had always known that the girl was quite capable, but she had never expected that she also had a good relationship with the owner of the auction.
She suppressed her surprise and followed the girl closely.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see a long sealed corridor with steep slopes several meters high on both sides, forming a semicircular shape with the top of the corridor.
The light in the corridor is dim, and the lighting comes entirely from the luminous pearls inlaid in the walls.
At the end of the corridor, there are eight identical entrances.
The servant who led the way handed each of them a mask and led them to the central entrance of the cave, saying respectfully, "Please come in, gentlemen."
Su Manman was about to step forward, but Qingluan stopped her and said warily, "Miss, follow behind me."
This girl is very vigilant, which is good.
As they walked forward, the view before them suddenly opened up.
A huge underground palace, like a theater underground.
The overall shape is oval, with a stone platform in the center. From this point, there are gradually higher stands of seats. Surrounding it are some unique private rooms at higher places, with green gauze curtains covering the windows.
There are some bounty notices hanging on the side of the platform, looking for people, things, weapons, calligraphy and paintings, etc.
Among them, the one at the top of the medicinal herb bounty list is Flame Linghua, with a bounty of five thousand taels of silver.
Su Manman praised it in admiration.
When she thought about the flame lilies she cultivated turning into boxes of real gold and silver, she couldn't hide her smile.
Glancing to the side, he saw that the first item on the bounty list was a dagger.
The dagger is about seven inches long, with a black moon carved on the handle, which can cut iron like mud, and the tail is inlaid with hexagonal agate ruby.
A reward of 10,000 taels of silver is offered.
To be honest, there should be a lot of daggers that are about seven inches long and have a black moon carved on the handle.
Can be set with rubies...
Agate rubies are rare to begin with, let alone hexagonal ones...
Su Manman stared at the dagger, a little dazed.
Why does it look so familiar?
Qingluan loved wielding swords and was particularly interested in weapons, so she recognized it immediately and exclaimed in surprise, "Miss, isn't that the dagger you've always kept in your closet?"
"Miss, if you sell that dagger, it can be worth ten thousand taels of silver." For Qingluan, the things at the bottom of the box are worthless.
If it could be exchanged for silver, it would help alleviate the girl's difficult life in the mansion.
"You're obsessed with money." Su Manman scolded.
A figure flashed in her mind.
Five years ago, in the psychedelic forest in the uninhabited area on the border between Daqian Kingdom and Huanyue Kingdom, she met a seriously injured young man.
She was startled when she saw him for the first time.
He was badly injured, bitten by poisonous insects in the dense forest, and his face was completely disfigured.
Later, during their contact, she discovered that his vision was impaired, no different from a blind person.
After being poisoned, he became extremely alert and would wait until she fell asleep before going to bed every night.
After he fell asleep, he was tortured by pain and groaned all night long. She used to laugh and give him the nickname "Yo Yo."
The Miasma Forest was filled with miasma, and she was forced to be alone with him for more than half a year.
Since he couldn't move, she went around looking for food and was responsible for keeping them both well fed.
She was always sleepy and could fall asleep anytime and anywhere, so he acted as a guard, guarding the two of them from attacks by wild beasts.
That's why he always called her "Sleepyhead."
I remember one time, when she was sleeping, a tiger attacked and he stepped forward to protect her.
When she woke up, there was blood everywhere, and he was lying in a pool of blood, dying, with scratches all over his body.
He was badly wounded and had the dagger in his hand.
The end of the dagger pierced the tiger's neck and cut off half of its head.
She knew that if it weren't for him, she would be dead.
After that, she took even better care of him.
Until one day, his men came looking for him. When they were about to part, he handed over the dagger and said in a hoarse voice, "This is for you."
In the psychedelic forest, he always kept the dagger with him, and the ruby looked very precious.
She glanced at his tattered clothes and jokingly asked, "Is this yours?"
He was annoyed, "I picked it up on the battlefield."
"Su Yu" a man called out in surprise from behind.
Su Yu was her alias when she dressed as a man.
Su Manman turned around and saw a man in a green robe and a jade-faced face standing at the corner archway not far away.
He was in his early twenties, and joy was evident on his handsome face.
Xie Yousheng, a business genius, was an unfavored concubine in Prince Jin's palace in her previous life.
Because of my acquaintance with the master, I also got to know the man saved by the master, Jie Yousheng.
He was born into a merchant family. His family had been engaged in business for generations, and he was originally the son of a wealthy family.
Unfortunately, his father died early, and he was born out of wedlock. He was oppressed by his mistress, and his mother died tragically. He had to beg for food all the way.
I suffered a lot in my wandering life.
In her previous life, after learning about his tragic life experience, she sighed for a long time.
In this life, she appeared in front of him in time and saved him and his mother.
He is indeed a business genius. Starting from small items and snacks to various large-scale transactions, he bravely tries anything that can make money.
She provided the money and he provided the business acumen. Within two years of working together, they made a fortune and became extremely wealthy.
He was a daring and enterprising man. Knowing that she would return to the capital, he volunteered to go there in advance to try his luck.
She agreed.
Now, three years have passed, and the Bi Cang Auction House he opened in the capital is doing a booming business and is well-known far and wide.
Needless to say, the hardships involved are enormous.
Sure enough, the person the master chose must be right.
"Brother Mo." Su Manman lifted her hat, took off her mask, called out, and walked forward. "Long time no see."
He knew from before that she was a woman.
During her time in Jiangyang, she always dressed in men's clothes.
This was the first time he saw her wearing women's clothing.
"Long time no see!" Xie Yousheng, a grown man, stared at her face, bewildered, and said, "I finally waited for you to come. Come on, come in and sit down."
He welcomed her into a private room.
This is the easternmost room on the second floor. The furnishings inside the room are simple and quaint. There is an octagonal table by the window, and a stack of accounts is placed on the table.
On weekdays, he handles official business here.
After she sat down, he took out a stack of account books from the secret compartment of the bookshelf beside him and said, "This is the account of the Bi Cang Auction House. Please take a look, young lady."
Su Manman laughed dumbly and pushed the account book aside, "Brother Mo, you are too polite. The Bi Cang Auction House is your hard work, how can I just sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor?"
"Su Yu, without you, I wouldn't be where I am today." He said solemnly, "Are you asking me to be an ungrateful person?"
He is stubborn and will never compromise on things he has made up his mind about.
Su Manman smiled faintly and said, "Okay then, we'll follow our previous agreement and split the profits half between you and me."
"No..." He insisted, "You are the real boss of the Bi Cang Auction House."
Qingluan, who was standing by, was dumbfounded.
She couldn't believe her ears.
This……
The girl hid it too deeply.
She is actually the owner behind the Bi Cang Auction House.
Xie Yousheng insisted on doing so, and Su Manman couldn't refuse. She changed the subject and said, "Let's talk business first. What is the whereabouts of the Ice Stone?"
"According to reliable information, there is an icy stone in the Princess's mansion."
Xie Yousheng replied, a hint of embarrassment on his face, "But I heard that the ice stone in the Princess's Mansion was made into an ice bed. It would be too difficult for us to knock off a piece."
