Chapter 37.3: To The Auction
“Because it had been snowing for the past few days, there’s a lot less people here. If we came here in the past, we won’t even be able to squeeze ourselves through.”
Steward Wang said to Mu Wushuang and her younger brother.
“We can stop right here and have a walk around.” Mu Wushuang said with sparkling eyes when she saw the endless variety of things put up for sale outside.
She saw some black rocks displayed before a young man in front and thought they looked a little bit like the array stones that she needed.
But she was not in a rush. She went to look idly around on both sides of the street and when she came to reach the young man’s stall, she pointed inquisitively at the rock placed on the ground and asked: “What are those?”
“Young Miss, they are natural ink stones. I dug it up from the mountain behind my house, and calligraphy done with its ink comes out clear and dark.”
When the young man saw that someone was showing interest in the things he was selling, he quickly replied. He had waited so long before a customer came to his stall and he was being rather passionate.
He immediately picked up a stone to demonstrate. Dipping it in a bit of water, he ground the stone for a little while and dark black ink came out. He then picked up a brush and dipped it in the ink, before writing on a coarse piece of parchment.
The corner of Mu Wushuang’s mouth twitched slightly. Such a rare and treasured array stone that was at least tens of thousands years old and it is being used as an ink stone for writing. Young man, the coffin lid of your old ancestors must surely be almost popping up with this travesty you’re committing.
But to her, it is good that he is ignorant.
“And what is the price for these ink stones?” Mu Wushuang asked the young man in an indifferent tone.
“Ten for a silver tael.” The young man replied, feeling a little guilty inside. He had set up stall here for several days and he had not even sold a single one.”
Sweet! So cheap! One single array stone was about the size of a fist, and she would be willing to pay for them even if it was selling for a hundred taels of gold for one!
“I’ll take them all!” She proclaimed in a domineering voice.
She then continued to ask the man. “Do you have a lot more of such stones back at your house? If you do, I’ll take however much you have. Just deliver them straight to the Prince Regent’s palace.”
The young man was ecstatic when he heard her words, his face turning red from excitement and filled with gratitude. His head bobbed up and down as he nodded, and then asked the generous hearted young lady before him in a careful voice: “I have a few hundred more of them back home. Does the Young Miss really want them all?”
“Naturally.”
“Alright!”
The young man then packed the stones up for her enthusiastically.
“Tsk tsk, isn’t it Mu Wushuang? Why would you come here and buy such useless trash? Buying those useless rocks back to go play house with your mute little brother?”
At that moment, an oily haired and opulently dressed hedonistic wastrel who had an arm wrapped around the slim waist of a beautiful woman came sauntering over in an exaggerated manner, his loud voice reaching Mu Wushuang before his person did, mocking at Mu Wushuang and her younger brother.
When Mu Yuheng saw the person, his beautiful eyes immediately filled up with rage as he glared at him, his fingers clenching up tightly into fists.
