coobybook Chapter 21 Her Hairpin
Chapter 21 Her Hairpin
"As for whether there are any immortals involved, we don't know! It's just a legend! The starting bid is 10,000 taels of gold!" Zi Xuan didn't have high hopes for this hairpin because it looked dull.
Moreover, relying solely on a bit of legendary color is not enough to win!
"Miss! How can a hairpin like this be put on the auction stage! The vetting process is far too lax!" Even Qinghe complained.
The people below were all waiting to see which fool with too much money would bid on the hairpin!
Yun Juan, who had been sitting silently, rang the bidding gong next to her!
"Twenty thousand taels!"
The place was so quiet you could hear a pin drop! Nobody expected the person on the second floor to bid on a useless hairpin.
People started to suspect that Yun Quan was a plant sent by Wanbaolou!
It's obvious no one would buy this, yet someone offered 20,000 taels!
Even Qinghe, who was standing next to Yun Juan, turned her head to look at her with an expression of disbelief!
"Miss, why are you taking pictures of it? Nobody takes pictures of this!" Qinghe's features scrunched up in a frown!
“I feel like it has a connection with me!” Yun Juan only answered Qing He with this one sentence, her eyes still fixed on the hairpin on the table!
"Twenty thousand taels once, twenty thousand taels twice! Twenty thousand taels three times! Congratulations!" Zixuan quickly struck the gong, as if afraid the other party would regret it.
Soon a servant brought it over. When Yun Juan touched the hairpin, it began to fade, turning completely white, with a touch of red at the phoenix tail!
Qinghe was shocked: "Miss, Miss, it's changed! It can actually change color!"
“Phoenix tail feather!” Yun Juan blurted out, as if she had known it for a long time!
"Miss, is this a new name you gave it? It's quite nice!" Qinghe's eyes were already big, and combined with her still-developing features, they made her look especially adorable.
"No, it was originally called Phoenix Tail Feather!" Yun Juan remembered. It was originally hers, but she had forgotten how she lost it and didn't remember where it came from!
"Heaven and earth are dark and yellow, yin and yang change, spiritual energy is formed naturally, and the other shore flower blooms!" A bunch of incantations appeared in Yun Juan's mind, and she recited them naturally.
The phoenix tail hairpin beside her shimmered as if responding to her.
Qinghe, who was standing next to her, was dumbfounded. She was starting to believe the story of the immortal that Zixuan had just told her!
"Miss, you wouldn't happen to be the legendary immortal, would you?" Qinghe stared at her young mistress, afraid of missing a single second. She was an immortal!
If I didn't believe it at all before, I believe it completely now!
"It shouldn't be that mysterious! But it is definitely mine! It seems to have been with me for a long time!" Yun Juan picked up the hairpin and rubbed it in her hand.
She vaguely remembered someone putting a hairpin on her head, but why couldn't she see the faces of those two people?
Yun Juan didn't listen to the auction items that followed, and she didn't want to bid on anything anymore.
She always felt that something was about to unfold!
In the end, her bottle of lip rouge was auctioned off to the Seventh Princess for five million taels of gold.
Yun Quan never imagined that one bottle could sell for so much! What does five million taels of gold even mean?!
From now on, won't she become a little rich woman? She shouldn't have to live a frugal life anymore!
Even Qinghe was overjoyed; she never expected that such a small bottle could sell for such a high price!
"Miss, you're amazing! That little bottle of lip balm sold for five hundred taels of gold! Gold! That's real gold!" Qinghe's eyes lit up as she spoke!
"Let's go! I'll take you to Yunshuizhai for a meal! Order whatever you want, it's on me today!" Yun Juan patted her chest and said generously.
Qinghe was about to happily agree, but then she suddenly remembered that there was something important that the two of them hadn't done yet!
"Miss, you forgot! We haven't gone to the brokerage firm yet!" Qinghe reminded her.
"Oh dear, it's already noon! Let's grab a bite first! It won't matter! We can go after we eat! People need food to survive, otherwise you'll get hungry!" Yun Juan remembered a phrase that Liu Chengcheng often rambled on about in modern times!
Qinghe couldn't resist, so she simply went with her young mistress!
Unexpectedly, the two encountered an uninvited guest here!
"Oh...isn't this my sister? What brings you here! Oh, wait, what brings you to Yunshui Zhai? I don't think I've received my monthly allowance yet, have I?"
Yun Juan never expected that she wouldn't even be able to enjoy a meal properly, encountering the Yun family's little white lotus flower, who kept calling her "sister" but then did things like scolding the cook after the meal.
"Stop talking nonsense, or I'll pull out my Barrett and shoot you!" Yun Quan was really hungry today and didn't want to chatter on with her.
He skipped over her and pulled Qinghe into the private room!
Meanwhile, Yun Rong, who had been ignored, stood there, clutching the handkerchief in her hand tightly!
"Arong? What's wrong? Who's that woman?"
"Really? Rongrong tried to talk to her kindly, but she completely ignored her? And she said some strange things!"
At this moment, Yunrong's eyes began to fill with tears, and she pretended to be very aggrieved: "Please stop talking! She is, after all, my sister! Even if Grandmother took pity on her and brought her back from the estate, but... but she never wants to talk to us!"
As she spoke, Yunrong squeezed out two tears!
"This is outrageous!"
"Yeah! That's just too much! How could anyone be so outrageous!"
Yunrong couldn't help but smile from under her handkerchief!
"Stop talking, or my sister will hold a grudge against me again when she gets back to the manor! Grandmother was so upset by her the other day! She insisted on being included in the family genealogy, but Grandmother said that she was adopted, so how could she be included? She couldn't hold back and accidentally injured Grandmother!"
As Yun Rong spoke, she embellished the story, making the people around her feel sorry for the girl in front of them!
"Miss Yun is so filial!"
"Who can argue with that!"
"Yes, even in this situation, Miss Yun still calls her 'sister'!"
The chorus of praise made Yunrong even happier!
Qinghe was so angry in the private room that she was about to go down and settle the score with Yunrong!
"What are you angry about! Hurry up and eat! Is she more important than the food? Of course, the food is more important!" Yun Juan put a piece of pig's trotter into Qing He's bowl.
"But Miss, she said those things to you, aren't you angry? No, I really can't hold back anymore! How could she say such things to you, Miss! She was the one who was adopted!" Qinghe was so angry that she couldn't eat and kept pacing around the room.
"If we can't defeat her in one blow, there's no point in going down to argue with her! Just wait... and see how your young lady makes her regret it!" Seeing that Qinghe couldn't eat, Yun Juan had no choice but to deal with this pitiful little white lotus who was crying so miserably outside.
Yun Juan thought that if she had been born a few years earlier, Meng Jiangnu would have had no chance of crying at the Great Wall!
