C1470 Fair Deal
"This. . . If this third guest is also worth 50 million. . . It might be another round. " Coco felt his palms sweating. This was not her first time being an auctioneer, and she could even be considered an old face in the industry. However, this was the first time she had encountered such a thing.
Everyone held their breaths as they stared at the Coco, waiting for her to announce the third number.
"The bid for our third customer is. . . " The Coco took a deep breath and showed the third number, "50. 10 million!"
Yi Lanyou's mouth slightly raised and looked at Xiao Bo. Seeing Xiao Bo's expression becoming more and more ugly, Yi Lanyou could not help but laugh.
Xiao Bo kept feeling that there was something fishy about this. Otherwise, how could one of them be equal to him, while the other was only ten thousand more than him!
Xiao Bo had a bad feeling about this. If the difference was too great, it would be fine, but ten thousand! It was just a difference of ten thousand!
After Yi Lanyou bid for the jade pendant, Tang Xuanli felt more at ease. In the end, it would not fall into the hands of outsiders. At that time, he would just buy it from Yi Lanyou.
The following auction was not as intense as the jade pendant. The items were not bad. Gradually, the atmosphere became heated and the number of people bidding increased.
It had to be said that this Coco was indeed a very good auctioneer. Other than two bids, her control of the entire auction was not bad.
After this auction ended, everyone took the accompanying gifts prepared for the auction and left one by one.
On the way back, Long Tianqi asked, "What's the point of that jade pendant? I want to bid for it, but you still kick me under the table. "
"I don't know either. " Yi Lanyou smiled and said, "The main reason is that Xiao Bo looks like he needs to be squeezed. "
"Fifty million to squeeze him? Little beauty. You think too highly of him, don't you?" Wen Wen asked with a smile.
"Do you believe that I can sell it right away?" Yi Lanyou raised her eyebrows and asked.
"I believe you. There is still Young Master Tang. " Sven smiled and said, "What is it? This jade pendant is related to the seven big families. I can see that each of you is more anxious than the other. "
"I'm not sure either. " Yi Lanyou's beautiful eyes slightly drooped. There were many things that she did not know.
"You guys are not clear. Tonight's auction is going crazy. " Long Tianqi said with a smile.
"Hehe. " Yi Lanyou smiled and did not say anything.
By the time Yi Lanyou and the others arrived home, it was already early in the morning. Tang Xuanli went straight to Yi Lanyou's room and knocked lightly on the door.
"Come in. " Yi Lanyou sat on the chair by the French window, as if she was waiting for someone.
"You predicted that I would come?" Tang Xuanli asked.
"Guess. " Yi Lanyou smiled and gestured for Tang Xuanli to sit opposite her. "Speak. "
"What did you say?" Tang Xuanli looked at Yi Lanyou.
"You owe me an explanation. " Yi Lanyou supported her chin with one hand and said, "What exactly is that jade pendant?"
"The jade pendant is the jade pendant. " Tang Xuanli smiled and said, "But it has other meaning. "
"What meaning?" Yi Lanyou asked.
"Tang Xuanli did not answer Yi Lanyou directly. Instead, he said, "It is a meaning that only patriarch knows. "
"So you don't want to tell me?" Yi Lanyou raised her eyebrows and said.
"Tang Xuanli looked at Yi Lanyou and did not say anything.
"How about this, let's exchange information. " Yi Lanyou turned around and took out a brocade box. She opened the box and inside was the jade pendant that she bought at a high price. "You tell me the meaning of it, and I am willing to sell it to you. " She paused for a moment. Yi Lanyou added. "At the same time, I will tell you a secret. "
"Tang Xuanli lowered his eyes and looked at Yi Lanyou. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Deal. "
"Let's talk about it. " Yi Lanyou used her fingertips to pick up the jade pendant in the brocade box and said, "What is the meaning of this thing?"
"Every family of the seven big families has a jade pendant. " Tang Xuanli said.
"This is from the Tang Family?" Yi Lanyou asked.
"This piece belongs to the Tang Family. But it doesn't belong to the Tang Family. " Tang Xuanli said.
"What do you mean?" Yi Lanyou did not understand.
"You should know that the seven families gathered together to fight against the Dragon Phoenix and Phoenix Clans, right?" Tang Xuanli asked.
"I know. " Yi Lanyou said, "I also know that in the later stages of the war, the seven major families were completely suppressed by the Dragon and Phoenix families. In the end, the Kong Family stood up and said that for generations, they did not do business and did not hold official positions. They wanted to protect the peace of the seven major families for generations. "
"That's right. " Tang Xuanli nodded his head. "But do you think the Kong Family alone can maintain the peace of the seven families for thousands of years? Besides, how do you think the Yuan Family was destroyed by the combined efforts of the other six families? "
. . . "" Yi Lanyou was stunned for a moment and looked at the jade pendant in her hand. "Is it because of this?"
"That's right. " Tang Xuanli said, "patriarch of the seven families must obey the owner of the jade pendant. This jade pendant belongs to the other families. "
"The other families?" Yi Lanyou understood. "So this jade pendant is used to restrain each other?"
"Yes. " Tang Xuanli answered and said, "In order to prevent the two families who hold the jade pendant of the other family from collaborating, this jade pendant is also flowing. "
"Flowing?" Yi Lanyou frowned slightly and her eyes darkened, "Family marriage?"
"En. " Tang Xuanli said, "This jade pendant is a dowry. Women who have the jade pendant must participate in the marriage. The family who has the jade pendant must not publicize it. "
"Won't the females say it?" Yi Lanyou asked curiously.
"Only patriarch knows how to recognize the jade pendant. " Tang Xuanli said, "Other than patriarch, no one else knows. "
"What does that have to do with the destruction of Yuan Family?" Yi Lanyou asked, puzzled.
"I am not very clear about the details, but I know that the Yuan Family was strong enough to threaten the interests of other families, so the first one to take out the jade pendant and order the seven families to join the alliance and destroy the Yuan Family together. "
"But my grandfather also has a jade pendant. Why didn't he use it?" Yi Lanyou was somewhat puzzled.
"This matter was secretly agreed upon by the Yuan Family Master. It was already too late when he discovered it. " Tang Xuanli replied.
"Who was the one who started it?" Yi Lanyou asked.
"I don't know. " Tang Xuanli shook his head.
"You don't know?" Yi Lanyou frowned.
"I really don't know about that. " Tang Xuanli spread his hands. "You know how Tang Family looked when I took over patriarch. This secret was mentioned in the secret letter grandpa left for his lawyer. "
"Which family does this jade pendant belong to?" Yi Lanyou looked at Tang Xuanli and asked.
