Da Tang Xiao Si Zi: I have a little pouch-like boy.

"Because you are cute, kind and beautiful, everyone likes you, so we can sell these ornaments in your name to make more money."

"With more money, we can help more people in need."

Li Qin held the two little princesses and explained, then kissed one of them on the cheek.

"Hehe~ So that's how it is~" Si Zi really liked Li Qin's praise and happily indulged in self-admiration.

As for Chengyang, he's already a four-year-old child, not as easy to fool as Sizi.

Instead of indulging in self-admiration, she shyly lowered her head, her cheeks flushed.

Bidding continued, but the scene had gradually calmed down compared to the initial chaos.

It's not because everyone's voices are hoarse, nor is it because their enthusiasm has waned.

Rather, the price has reached a level that is beyond the reach of most people.

"Thirty thousand strings of cash!"

"Thirty-one thousand guan!"

"Forty thousand strings of cash! If anyone offers a higher price, my Wei family will withdraw from the competition for this bracelet!"

As soon as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wei family said "40,000 strings of cash," the scene fell silent.

Seeing that the atmosphere had calmed down, Li Lizhi immediately spoke up: "The Wei family has offered 40,000 strings of cash. Is there anyone offering a higher price?"

"Forty thousand strings of cash at a time!"

"Forty thousand strings of cash twice!"

"Forty thousand strings of cash, sold in three transactions! Sold!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the platinum and diamond bracelet was immediately delivered to the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wei family, and a contract was signed on the spot.

Within the next three days, the Wei family must pay 40,000 strings of copper coins or grain and cloth.

On-site delivery is definitely impossible, otherwise how many things would the women who come here for auction have to bring into the palace?

The 40,000 strings of copper coins alone would be enough to fill a long caravan.

Moreover, the Tang Dynasty had more than just the Kaiyuan Tongbao coin; grain, cloth, salt, and iron were also used as currencies for trade.

However, it was agreed beforehand that only copper coins, grain, cloth, and other items that could be used for disaster relief would be accepted.

"Just this one bracelet... and it actually sold for 40,000 kan!?"

Li Chengqian was dumbfounded. It wasn't that he didn't have money, nor that he was poor.

However, the scene and the price were completely beyond his expectations.

He originally thought that a piece of jewelry would sell for at most a few thousand strings of cash, which was already his highest possible price.

I never imagined that I had underestimated the determination of these women and the wealth of the powerful families.

In other words, he was unaware that there were others who were willing to spend thousands of dollars for a single ticket to this auction.

Otherwise, I wouldn't think that way.

"Let us congratulate Mrs. Wei on receiving her first bracelet. We also thank her for her generous donations to the people affected by the disaster this winter."

Li Lizhi took the lead in clapping to create momentum, and Changsun stood up and smiled and nodded at the eldest wife of the Wei family.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Wei family had never experienced such a scene before, being applauded and congratulated by everyone, and receiving a nod of thanks from the Empress.

His vanity was instantly satisfied. It was only 40,000 strings of cash. This money was well spent!

At the same time, I kept telling myself that I didn't spend 40,000 strings of cash to buy this bracelet, but for the people who suffered from the disaster and for the reputation of the Wei family!

If the master investigates when we get back, just say this! Yes, that's it!

Many women looked at her with envy, secretly deciding that they would definitely spend a lot of money to get a piece of jewelry later!

For the sake of the common people! For the sake of our family's reputation! And even more so, to gain the Empress's approval!

We are not interested in jewelry or anything like that; we simply want to contribute our share to the disaster relief efforts!

After the first item was auctioned, the excitement at the scene was ignited.

The competition for the jewelry intensified significantly, and the prices demanded gradually increased.

It seemed that in the eyes of these women, money was nothing but a number.

For the sake of those I admire... the displaced people, this money must be spent!

After watching for a while, the little princesses, including Sizi, started to get bored.

I originally just wanted to see something novel, but after looking around, all I saw were people shouting numbers, which didn't seem very interesting.

"Little Nang~ Let's go find Fuzai and Wangzai~"

"Okay, let's go."

Li Qin also found it boring; a bunch of crazy women, there was really nothing to see.

It's better to pet the Ironhide Beast and the Golden Shaded Dog. So much time has passed, and the four little guys are no longer what they used to be.

With careful care, the four little ones, Fuwang Jixiang, are now running all over the park.

As soon as Li Qin and Si Zi, along with the little princess, appear, they immediately run over to stick to each other.

Although Li Qin didn't put in much effort in taking care of the little guys, he was still more popular with them than the palace servants who took care of them every day.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian followed them to the garden where the small animal was.

"Fu Zai~ Wang Zai~ Ji Zai~ Xiang Zai~"

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Sizi shouted loudly.

"Hey~"

"Woo~"

Two chubby black and white balls and a golden kitten came running towards them, each calling out.

"Hee hee~"

Si Zi chuckled and stepped forward to hug the largest one, Fu Zai.

Li Shu caught Wangzai running towards the ox halfway.

As for the two golden tabby dogs, Li Qin held one in each hand and started stroking their backs.

Ji-zai and Xiang-zai immediately let out comfortable snoring sounds, then fell to the ground, rolled over, and exposed their big bellies.

The meaning is obvious: human, hurry up and stroke the bellies of these old men.

Chengyang, Gaoyang, and Wu Mei squatted down together and began petting the tiger with Li Qin.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian also squatted down and teased the two tiger cubs.

But he turned to Li Qin and asked, "Young master, how much do you estimate those ornaments will sell for today?"

Li Qin thought for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, "I don't know. I'm not very familiar with the prices in the Tang Dynasty, let alone the family fortunes of those women."

"In addition, the value of those ornaments in the Tang Dynasty and their status in women's minds have not been thoroughly investigated, so it is normal for them to be sold at any price."

Li Chengqian was stunned. He saw that Li Qin remained calm and composed from beginning to end.

He thought everything happening now was under his control.

Little did he know, he had no idea what to expect.

This is... a bit too nonchalant, isn't it?

Seeing Li Chengqian's expression, Li Qin smiled and said:

"Don't worry, judging from the first bracelet, the final price of this auction will definitely not be low, it should be a few million strings of cash."

Li Chengqian: "..."

A few million strings of cash... That's made it sound like it's just a few hundred coins.

"Ah~ Fu-zai~ You pooped again~"

Just as I was about to ask Li Qin how he managed to remain so calm, I heard Yao Mei's exclamation from the side.

Everyone turned to look and saw that the chubby Fuzai had just pooped a fresh pile of poop on Sizi's shoe.

The little princess was glaring angrily at the innocent-looking black and white baby.

(I'm not feeling well today, I have a cold and feel dizzy, so only two chapters.)
