There is a good husband in the crossing house

Besides Qiao Mingyue and Li Mochen, Li Qifeng and Xiaoyue also followed along the way, they were all acquaintances.Although Li Mochen's status was noble, because he had never put on a show in front of Qi Lan and the others, he didn't seem restrained when they sat together.

Su Fang, Wei Yi, and Xiao Yue were eating snacks and watching the movement downstairs, but the men and Li Qifeng went to the tea room on the side. There were other four guards around, so there was no need to worry about safety, plus Qiao Mingyue Since he dared to hold an auction here, he had to think clearly about safety.

Besides, as long as someone is a little bit well-informed, who doesn't know that Yue Ke Restaurant is managed by Qiao Mingyue.And Qiao Mingyue is the pillow of the current emperor Li Mochen.Even a person who has eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard will not pay attention here without looking.

"Qiao Mingyue, Your Majesty, why did the auction come so early? I thought you would at least wait for the military salary to be collected before holding the auction."

When Li Qifeng was in front of Li Mochen, he was extraordinarily well-behaved, sitting upright, and was responsible for making tea for them.

"That's what I planned at the beginning." Qiao Mingyue took the tea cup handed over by Li Qifeng and shrugged: "But Chen said that if we hold the auction after collecting donations, I'm afraid not many people will participate. Even if they participate, they will I can’t bear it, or in other words, I won’t increase the price too much.”

"Why?" Qi Lan was puzzled. From Qiao Mingyue's occasional words, he knew that the state treasury of the Great Xia Dynasty was now empty.Not to mention anything else, just this year's military salary, you can't get it out——

Of course, this is before finding those treasures in the mountains.

Qi Lan didn't know how much those things were worth.

However, he knew that even if it was not comparable to the national treasury, it was still worth a fortune.Even if there is no need to find someone to collect donations, a mere year's military salary can be used.

However, Qi Lan also knew that with Qiao Mingyue's money-greedy appearance, she would definitely not let go of finding someone to raise donations.

Even if this method can only be used once, it is better than nothing.But now Qiao Mingyue held the auction directly.Not to mention that Qiao Mingyue took a lot of things out of those treasures on purpose, just that one Ganoderma lucidum, which is said to be a millennium, can definitely be auctioned for a very high price.

Qi Lan never underestimated the money in the hands of the rich.

Sometimes, those families that have lasted for hundreds or even thousands of years, the family property can really sit on the rich, and they will definitely not be stingy with money to buy a legendary millennium Ganoderma lucidum.

But in this way, when everyone knows that Qiao Mingyue has money, isn't it useless to raise donations?

Of course, these thoughts flashed through Qi Lan's mind, Qiao Mingyue knew what he was thinking, and smiled helplessly: "Actually, I think the same as you, but Chen reminded me later.

If the military salary is collected first, and then auctioned, the people who participated in the auction at that time would think that they could not afford the money when they were collecting donations before, but now they are throwing out a lot of money, will the emperor worry about something? of. "

Being reminded by Qiao Mingyue, Qi Lan also reacted instantly: "But if the auction is held first, everyone will know that they have too much money to spend, and then we will hold a fundraiser. If there is less, I'm afraid You will be embarrassed by yourself, isn't it?"

Qiao Mingyue gave a thumbs-up to show that Qi Lan was right.

Well, I have to admit, no wonder he can be an emperor, but he can only be a farmer.

Thinking of farming, Qi Lan thought of the medicinal materials: "By the way, have you received the dendrobium that I asked Xiaofeng to bring back to you?"

When they first came back to the capital a few days ago, Xiaofeng Xiaoyue came to play with them.

In addition to the dried wolf meat, there are also several pots of dendrobium, all of which are mature plants that Qi Lan raised in the space before, and they have been grown for several years, and two pots are still in flowering period.

I have to say that Dendrobium is indeed very beautiful when it blooms, so that when Xiaofeng first saw Dendrobium, he actually asked what the flower was called and why it was so beautiful.

"I sent it to the Imperial Medical Office. Those old men heard that it was a newly discovered medicinal material, and they all seemed crazy. They have been researching Dendrobium these days. Later, I heard that it was brought back by Xiaofeng. One by one. I just chased and intercepted Xiaofeng, trying to find out what it was from him." The corners of Qiao Mingyue's mouth twitched, with a toothache expression on her face.

Li Qifeng also bared his teeth, apparently he was really tortured by those old men that Qiao Mingyue said these days, the key is not to beat or scold him.

After all, it was their own request to study the medicinal value of Dendrobium, right?

Qi Lan didn't expect this to happen, but was surprised.Then he took out two oil paper bags from his sleeves: "This is the dendrobium flower I dried in the past few days. You can also use it to soak in water when you are free, or throw a few flowers when cooking soup." .”

Two packs of Dendrobium flowers, one for Qiao Mingyue and one for Xiaofeng, Qi Lan had never picked flowers before to cultivate Dendrobium, and kept the seeds to continue raising seedlings.

After all, he only had two plants in his hand at the beginning, and now he has cultivated several acres, which took a lot of time and energy.

This dendrobium flower was also made by Qi Lan in the space in the past two days when he and his husband were free.

In addition to these two packs, there are some at home, and the two of them even drank it a few times. It has a light taste and is quite comfortable to drink.

"Qi Lan, tell me the truth, what is the function of this dendrobium?"

Qiao Mingyue didn't reject the dendrobium flower at all, and even opened it and threw a dried flower into her mouth and chewed it carefully. Seeing what Qi Lan wanted to say, she quickly stopped her: "Don't say you don't know, if you don't know, why don't you know?" Will you know that this is a medicinal material?"

Well, the excuses he thought up can no longer be used, Qi Lan is helpless, it's not that he doesn't say anything.It's just that he doesn't know much, and he also knows that other people must think the same way as Qiao Mingyue.It's just that other people can't and can't ask directly like Qiao Mingyue.

"Actually, I'm not very clear about this, but I do know something about the health-preserving effects of Dendrobium..."

Speaking of which, Qi Lan roughly told what she knew: "What I said can only be used as a reference. After all, I am not a real doctor. You still have to let the imperial doctors study the rest."

Just as they were talking, all the guests outside the building were also seated. A few guards in armor lifted a big drum to the high platform in the middle of the yard, followed by a burly man with a drumstick and thumped the big drum. .

With the sound of the huge drum, the entire Yueke restaurant fell silent instantly.

"Hey, this is General Zhou?" Qi Lan looked at the center of the high platform in surprise: "Could it be that General Zhou is holding today's auction?"

"No, there are a lot of good things this time, so I don't feel relieved to let others come.

What if there is a bold direct grab?

Whether it was hurting someone or being robbed of something, Chen lost all face. "

Qiao Mingyue smiled and sipped tea. He had just thrown a few dendrobium flowers into the teacup. Not to mention, this scented tea paired with green tea was actually quite good.

Qi Lan was speechless, and then saw boxes of various shapes being placed around the drum, and at the same time a long table was placed in front of General Zhou.

After the arrangement was completed, General Zhou's unique loud voice rang out throughout the restaurant:

"Welcome everyone to take part in today's auction. My old Zhou is a rough person, so I don't have much nonsense. The auction starts now!"

At the same time, another thin man with a saber around his waist also appeared on the high platform, picked up a box from General Zhou's side, put it on the table in front of General Zhou, and opened it for him by the way. A piece of writing was taken out of the box, which can be said to be read according to the paper: "The unicorn jade pendant belongs to the royal family of the former dynasty..."

Qi Lan is not interested in these things, he just came to join in the fun today.

So he didn't care about what General Zhou said at all. He was looking at the thin man next to General Zhou in surprise at the moment: "When did Wei San pass? Why don't I know?"

You were still in their room just a moment ago, okay?As a result, Qi Lan turned her head and was about to look at Wei San, only to find that Wei San was holding his sword in his arms, and was watching the fun seriously. Look at Wei San, and then look at the one on the high platform that is exactly the same as Wei San man: "Twins?"

"That's right, Wei San and him are indeed twins. The two were picked up by their master back then. Wei San is fast and good at hiding, but he is good at using swords. He is also General Zhou's deputy. It will be auctioned today." Everything is a treasure, and the price will not be low, so I feel more at ease with them watching over me." Qiao Mingyue explained.

Except when Li Mochen greeted them when he first arrived, he seldom spoke afterwards.

Firstly, he is not a talkative person, and secondly, his identity is right there.

If Barabara really kept talking, it would make people feel strange and awkward.

In the end, the unicorn jade pendant was sold by an ordinary wealthy businessman at a price of 9 taels of silver. This was a thing of the royal family, so naturally someone would recognize it.Even if we don't talk about this, the meaning of the Qilin jade pendant, and the jade pendant itself is also a good jade, which is excellent.

Then there was another luminous pearl the size of a baby's fist. In order to prove the authenticity of this luminous pearl, Wei San's twin brother.

He even took the Ye Mingzhu to those who didn't believe it to verify it for himself. It is so rare, and the price is naturally high.Even Qi Lan, who originally thought he was rich enough, couldn't help but be speechless when he heard the final auction price.

As each piece of treasure was auctioned, the heat of the auction was slowly fired up.

At this time, a huge Ganoderma lucidum was also placed in front of General Zhou.Even General Zhou, who has seen many treasures, couldn't help but feel confused for a moment: "The next auction is the one you are most looking forward to - Millennium Ganoderma lucidum!"
