Chapter 5 Auction
It took less than ten minutes to An Ruoran to understand something that these nobles did not come to buy things, but to give themselves money. The so-called auction should be a growth of several thousand or thousands of gold coins, but each offer of these nobles increased by at least five thousand gold coins. In less than twenty minutes, the price of purple rose earrings had soared to 50,000 gold coins, and was successfully picked by the middle-aged lady who spoke wildly.
As the last casting product was successfully sold, the curtain of the auction fell. An Ruoran was afraid of being entangled by these nobles who were still unsatisfied, and hurriedly flashed into the corner until the crowd dispersed. He dared to come out carefully. Looking at Weiya who was busy on the stage, he suddenly started teasing her. He quietly walked behind her and suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Robbery! Only rob money but not rob beauty... I'm wrong, it's just rob beauty but not rob money!"
Weiya was surprised. When she turned around and saw the man behind her, she couldn't help but smile in surprise and joy. An Ruoran took advantage of her not coming back to her senses and took advantage of the fact that she consciously took advantage of the tenderness. Until Weiya pushed her with a little shame, he let go of her hands unwillingly. Looking at Bathil who seemed to be smiling, Weiya couldn't help but have a faint cloud and asked softly: "An, is it still going well?"
"Of course, Christine and I came back with a large amount of materials, and also brought one..." An Ruoran smiled and shrugged, hesitating whether to tell Weiya about Maldini, but suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind. Before he could turn around, Junan and Artest had already put their shoulders on both sides, and laughed loudly: "Mr. An, you finally came back before your father's birthday!"
Having not seen each other for more than a month, these two high men are still as charming as before, and obviously life is quite good. Junan is obviously more anxious. Without waiting for Artest and An Ruoran to greet him, he pulled him aside and asked in a low voice: "Mr. An, the day after tomorrow is the birthday of the father. What is the gift I entrusted you to cast? Please give me a letter of confidence."
"So quickly?" An Ruoran's casual words made Jun An's expression change slightly. But then, he heard An Ruoran's smile and said: "Don't worry, An's products must be of high quality. I will definitely deliver you unexpected good things the morning after tomorrow, and you can send someone to pick them up."
"It's best!" Junan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, but when he heard An Ruoran's last words, he shook his head and said, "But it's not that I sent someone to pick it up, but you want to go to the palace with me to hand over your imperial examination system planning to your father. The father seemed to be very interested in this plan, so he invited you to the palace to attend the birthday. In short, this time, A Tai actually picked up a bargain, it's really..."
"I heard that someone is talking bad about me." Artest suddenly smiled and walked over from the side, and punched Jun'an. Ignoring the half-true and half-false noise between the two brothers, An Ruoran couldn't help but frown slightly. Thinking about the impact this incident had on him, it was of course a good thing to be directly valued by Emperor Arthur, but if he was involved in the political struggle, there might be many negative effects.
However, at this moment, the wooden door of the empty hall was suddenly pushed open slowly, and Cruise's figure had appeared at the door surrounded by more than a dozen guards. Junan and Artest, who were talking and laughing, looked at each other, and their expressions changed slightly. An Ruoran couldn't help but be stunned, but immediately stepped forward to meet him.
"Mr. An, long time no see." After avoiding An Ruoran's bow, Cruise patted him with a smile, and saw his old friends with a friendly expression. Then, he turned his head and looked at the two brothers and smiled, "Jun'an, Atai, you two haven't been to my place for a long time. When will we get together, and we will also call Mr. An to join us."
The two who were named looked at each other and suddenly had an ominous premonition. Seeing their brother's intentions, they seemed to be planning to win over An Ruoran, but why is this for? However, although they were full of doubts, Junan still pulled Artest's sleeve and laughed: "Whatever the elder brother said is what. When the father's birthday is over, we really need to get together."
"Very good. I heard that you are about to go to the territory to take office. If you need any help, please tell me." Cruise looked slightly and looked like that kind of brother. But then, he put his shoulder on An Ruoran and said lightly: "By the way, I'll talk to Mr. An about some personal matters, you won't mind!"
Do you mind it is useful? Before Junan and Artest answered, Cruise gently pulled An Ruoran to the corner beside him. More than a dozen guards lined up expressionlessly, isolating everyone's sight. Artest snorted coldly and leaned into Junan's ear and said, "Third brother, what tricks did you think the elder brother played? His strong men are not counting, and with the assistance of a high-level magic casting master like Giggs, how could he suddenly fall in love with Mr. An?"
"Ask me, who will I ask?" Junan spread his hands helplessly, feeling very bad. Compared with himself and Artest, Cruise has a great advantage in all aspects. If he is really willing to spend a lot of money to win over An Ruoran, there is a great possibility. At this time, Junan really hopes that An Ruoran can keep his "neutral" promise, otherwise he will be afraid that Cruise will be in vain.
Regardless of the thoughts of the two high men, An Ruoran was also looking at Cruise's smile, vaguely thinking about the purpose of his sudden visit. After a few seconds, he heard Cruise mention it lightly in an innocent tone: "Mr. An, I heard that you have recently visited the northern border of the empire. Is it the Kiro Swamp, right?"
As soon as he heard this question, An Ruoran immediately understood six or seven points. It seemed that the eyeliner of the Highness was everywhere. However, after a moment of thinking, he smiled as if nothing had happened: "That's right, because I heard that there were very good casting materials there, I went there with Christine."
Knowing what the other party was asking, An Ruoran specially emphasized the tone of the four words "Christine". Cruise was stunned and said lightly: "Well, Miss Christine has been with you... I really thank you for taking care of her, otherwise I really can't explain to her mother. By the way, I heard that you brought a goblin back this time?"
"Is it big? If you treat it as a hush fee, it may not be big enough..." An Ruoran smiled and put away the gold ticket as if nothing had happened. Then, he turned his head and looked at Maldini who was smoking a cigar, and snapped his fingers gently: "Zhaocai, we are going to start work, throw away your cigar!"
