At the beginning, the little koi carp was grabbed by a wolf and became the favorite of the beasts.

When the woman on the stage saw the silence returned, she smiled and continued:

"Everyone, please listen to me. This is not an ordinary hairpin, but the latest hidden weapon invented by Master Lu. As long as you gently press the beads on the tail of the hairpin, the head can shoot out multiple silver needles. It is most suitable for Women’s self-defense.”

As soon as these words came out, things began to boil down below.

Although the hairpin can only fire silver needles, the silver needles can quench poison. Therefore, whether it is for self-defense or for other purposes, it is a rare treasure.

Such a convenient hidden weapon, not to mention women, even strong men can't help but be tempted by it.

"The starting price is two hundred taels, and each increase in price shall not be less than fifty taels."

After the words fell, the bidding started below.

"The starting price is two hundred taels. The transaction price will definitely be no less than five hundred taels. It's so expensive." Mu Ziqing sighed with emotion.

Jinbao saw her focused look and asked, "Does Ziqing like it?"

Mu Ziqing shook her head, "I have a lot of jewelry, and they are all prettier than this."

She couldn't bear to spend so much money on a hairpin.

"Idiot, this is a hidden weapon, how can it compare with those ordinary jewelry." Xue Tuan'er rolled his eyes at her.

Mu Ziqing was not angry and said calmly: "I don't need a concealed weapon, it's just an ordinary piece of jewelry in my hand."

She was only eight years old. Why did she need a concealed weapon? She might as well buy two more beautiful clothes.

Jinbao smiled, picked up the bell on the table and slowly rang it.

Mu Ziqing looked at her with wide eyes, "Sister, do you like this?"

Jinbao smiled and nodded.

Mu Ziqing said nothing, lowered her head and secretly counted the banknotes in her wallet.

She brought all her banknotes with her before coming here, but now she feels like it's not enough.

Finally, the hosta was bought by Jinbao for eight hundred taels.

When the servant came over with the tray, Mu Ziqing blushed and did not dare to look up.

She only brought 750 taels of silver notes, which was still 50 taels short. She had agreed to buy something for her sister, but what should she do if she didn't have enough money?

"Miss, this is the hairpin you took."

Jinbao nodded, "Thank you, put it on the table."

The servant put the wooden box on the tray on the table, bent down and left.

Jinbao opened the wooden box, took out the hosta and looked at it carefully.

After studying for a while, I discovered that the tail of the hairpin can be detached, and the silver needle is also installed from this position.

She put the jade hairpin back on and said, "I will take this hairpin back first and give it to you after the silver needle is quenched with poison."

If it only contains ordinary silver needles, then this thing is really no different from ordinary jewelry.

"Send it to me?" Mu Ziqing pointed at herself in surprise, somewhat unbelievable. "

Jin Bao pinched her little face and said, "Of course it's for you. Wear it for self-defense when you go out in the future."

This is the sister she recognizes, and she must protect her well.

"Sister, you are so kind," Mu Ziqing was moved to tears.

Apart from her parents, this is the first time someone has been so kind to her.

"Okay, don't be moved. Let's see what comes next. If you like it, my sister will buy it for you." Jinbao rubbed her head and said with a smile.

Mu Ziqing sniffed and nodded, then turned her attention to the auction table below again.

I saw a porcelain bottle placed on the tray, which was said to be a detoxifying pill. It could detoxify no matter how powerful the poison was. If it didn't work, the auction house would bear full responsibility.

At this time, the bidding price has reached six hundred taels. This thing is useless in ordinary people's homes, but all the people here are children of noble families.

There is open and secret fighting within the family, and the detoxification pill can be said to be a life-saving thing, so they will naturally rush to get it.

After a while, the price of Jiedu Pill has soared to one thousand taels.

Jin Bao had no use for this thing, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.

Finally, the detoxification pill was photographed by a young man.

The next item to be auctioned was a piece of warm jade, which was also a rare treasure. However, Jinbao already had a piece with better quality, and Mu Ziqing was not interested, so she gave up the bidding.

Jin Bao never saw what he wanted, so he lay on the table drawing circles in boredom. Xue Tuan'er didn't care about it at all, so he just sat there and took a nap.

"Hey, what is that?"

Mu Ziqing's exclamation attracted Jin Bao's attention, and Xue Tuan'er was also woken up and glanced down subconsciously.

I saw a black stone the size of a fist placed on the tray. It was inconspicuous and I couldn't tell what it was made of.

The woman on the stage did not waste any time and immediately said: "This stone was placed here by an old man. We don't know exactly what it is, so the bidding price is ten taels of silver. You don't need to ring the bell, just call out the price." That’s it.”

With the hosta just now, no one dares to underestimate this stone. It can be so bad that it can be put into the auction house.

So there were not many people shouting prices.

"Twenty taels of silver."

"I'm fifty taels."

"My young master will give you eighty taels."

"..."

The people below started bidding. Most of them were just joining in the fun. After all, it was just an unknown black stone.

"Jin Bao, take a picture of it quickly."

Xue Tuan'er's anxious voice came from beside him. In his panic, he even forgot to call his sister.

Mu Ziqing looked at him disapprovingly, "Why do you want a broken stone? If you want to play with stones, we can go to the mountain to pick them up. It's a waste of money to buy them."

Xue Tuan'er did not explain to her, but continued to look down anxiously, for fear of being photographed by others.

Jin Bao didn't ask any more questions and shouted directly: "Five hundred taels."

Now that Xue Tuan'er has spoken, this thing must not be simple, she must take pictures.

The people below heard her increase the price to five hundred taels and stopped shouting.

"Five hundred taels? The little girl upstairs is stupid. A piece of broken stone is priced at a high price of five hundred taels."

"That's right. It doesn't look like jade at first glance. What's the use of taking a picture of it?"

"I have a lot of money, why are you so worried here? I remember that this little girl took the photo of the hosta just now."

"Let me take a look. Maybe it's some rare treasure. Anyone with money can try it by betting on it. Maybe you'll win."

"..."

There was a lot of discussion below, and most people thought that the stone was not worth five hundred taels of silver.

Just when Jinbao thought he could win it, the sound of price increase came from the corner downstairs.

"Six hundred taels."

The voice was hoarse and low, as if there was something in the throat, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Jin Bao followed the voice and looked over in surprise, and found a man in a black robe wrapped tightly. He was covered in black, and even his face was wearing a black mask.

A mysterious person?

She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and shouted calmly: "Eight hundred taels."

It was more money than her, so she wanted to see what price that person could get.

Anyway, if the money is not enough, she still has her uncle, so she will decide on this stone today.

[This chapter is two in one]

"One thousand taels."

The man in black robe continued to increase the price.

Jinbao saw that his eyes were always on the stone and shouted two thousand taels.

She could feel the importance of the stone to that man. Since he didn't want to give up, let's compare who had more silver.

The man in black robe glanced upstairs, his eyes were gloomy and cold, as if he could freeze you.

"One thousand five hundred taels."

"Two thousand taels."

"..."

In the end, the price reached 10,000 taels, and neither of them wanted to give up.

However, the man in black robe was obviously hesitant, and his voice was filled with anger.

"Twenty thousand taels."

He didn't seem to want to waste any more time and directly shouted for 20,000 taels, but this seemed to be his bottom line.

Jin Bao looked at him, smiled slightly, and lightly opened his red lips: "Twenty-five thousand taels."

If Xue Tuan'er likes something, she will try her best to take a picture even if it is an ordinary stone.

What's more, it was no ordinary stone at all. Although she couldn't feel what was inside, she knew it must be a surprise.

The man in black robe looked in Jin Bao's direction, clenching his fists, his eyes filled with coldness.

However, he had no choice but to continue to increase the price, so he had to leave angrily.

The originally silent lobby was once again shaken.

"Oh my God, twenty-five thousand taels of silver are used to buy a piece of broken stone. This little girl must be crazy."

"Can such a little girl get so much money? You can't just do it for fun, right?"

"Is any of the people who can go up to the second floor a mortal? She must be a wealthy lady from some family. How could she not be able to afford such a small amount of money?"

"It's exciting. I haven't seen such a bidding for a long time."

"..."

There was an uproar downstairs.

In the private room on the second floor.

Long Yue looked at the excited little face opposite and became happy.

"Long Yi, follow the man in black just now."

"Yes, master."

After Long Yi responded, he ducked away.

"Master, are you worried that he will intercept Miss Zheng on the way?" Long San looked at Long Yi's leaving figure and asked in a low voice.

Long Yue glanced at him lightly, without saying a word, and continued to focus on the beautiful figure opposite.

Long San touched his nose in embarrassment and didn't dare to ask any more questions. He was afraid that if he talked too much, he would be sent to the underground palace for training.

……

Mu Ziqing looked at the stone on the table and poked it with her hand, "Sister, why do you want this stone?"

Twenty-five thousand taels of silver bought a stone, which really scared her.

"I don't know what it's for, but Xue Tuan'er bought it if I liked it."

Jinbao didn't take it seriously. She thought the man would continue shouting, but she didn't expect that he would stop after only twenty-five thousand taels.

To her, this money is nothing, she can just continue to make money after it is gone.

Mu Ziqing was speechless. It seemed that she had too little money, so she was so surprised.

There were many people here, so Jin Bao didn't look too much at it. He picked up the stone and stuffed it into his pocket. After all, he spent so much money to buy it, so it was safer to hide it in the space.

She didn't pay attention to what was being auctioned later, and called the servant to prepare to leave early.

Before Jin Bao could speak, the servant said directly: "Miss, the host has told me that you won't get any money for anything you take here."

"Okay then, help me tell Xiao... and tell the landlord, I'll go back first."

After saying that, he pulled Mu Ziqing, who looked stunned, out of the auction building.

……

"Sister, where are we going now?"

Mu Ziqing looked east and west, unable to stop for a moment.

Jinbao thought for a while and said, "Let me take you home first. I will go back to pack my things later and go back to the village tomorrow."

Since you want to go to the border, you should go back and explain first, otherwise your grandparents will definitely be worried.

"Ah? Sister, are you leaving? Are you coming back?"

Hearing that she was leaving, Mu Ziqing looked wilted and held her arm, reluctant to let go.

"Of course I will come back, but it may take a long time. I will have someone send you the hairpin tonight. Remember, the silver needle inside the hairpin is poison-quenching." Jinbao touched her head and explained.

Grandpa Er said that there was likely to be chaos at the border, so she had better go back as soon as possible and go to the border as soon as possible to give the book to her mother.

"But what should I do if I can't let go of my sister? How about I go with you?" Mu Ziqing looked at her pitifully, and her eyes began to moisten.

She likes her sister very much. Although they have only been together for two days, she feels like her real sister. She wants to be close to her and rely on her.

"Zi Qing, good boy, you have to stay with your parents. My sister will come back. Remember to be careful about that Mu Ziyan." Jin Bao was reluctant to let her go, pinching her little face and explaining.

Mentioning Mu Ziyan, Xue Tuan'er couldn't help but said: "Maybe she is not your sister and looks nothing like you. I think you should let your father check it out."

How could such a good family have such a weird child? He didn't believe it anyway.

Mu Ziqing: "..."

Is her father that stupid? He raised other people's children for so many years.

Seeing her speechless look, Jin Bao smiled and said, "What Xue Tuan'er said makes sense. Zi Qing can ask your father to check, just in case."

"Okay then, I'll listen to my sister."

……

During the conversation, Mu Mansion had arrived.

Mu Ziqing looked at the leaving carriage and reluctantly returned to her house.

"Qing'er, who made you unhappy? Tell daddy quickly."

Mu Yuan smiled brightly when he saw his daughter coming back.

Mu Ziqing shook her head, feeling weak and silent.

Mu Yuan then put away his smile and felt a little worried, but he knew his daughter's temperament and didn't ask any more questions.

After a while, Mu Ziqing took the initiative to speak and said slowly: "Sister asked me to tell you not to go to their mother and daughter's yard in the future, and not to eat their food."

Speaking of them, Mu Yuan thought of yesterday's scene. If his daughter didn't send him to his wife in time, he might have done something wrong again.

After living for half his life, how could he not guess that he was drugged? Thinking of the glass of water Mu Ziyan brought him, his eyes became more and more disappointed.

"Don't worry, dad knows it well. From now on, you should stay away from the mother and daughter, and don't get too close to them." He explained uneasily.

"I have no contact with them. My sister said that Mu Ziyan doesn't look like you, so he is definitely not your child. Please check carefully."

Mu Ziqing rolled her eyes at him and didn't speak politely at all.

Mu Yuan: "..."

He wanted to refute but couldn't find a reason to refute. Mu Ziyan did not look like him, and he had no memory of that night.

More than ten years have passed, and he has never suspected anything, and he has not dared to get to the bottom of it.

Now that his daughter mentioned it, his suspicion was aroused again.

Princess Fujin is recognized as a lucky star by the emperor. Even she said so. It’s time to check it out.
