Before they came, Lin Mengya and the five sons of the Gong Family had discussed the countermeasures.
According to the current situation, the Rong Family was not a threat, but the Xu Family and the other families behind them could not be underestimated.
And the Baili Family. The Yu Family, whom they secretly supported, was driven away. The Baili Family's silence and indifference were already abnormal.
Therefore, instead of appearing smart and alert the other party, it was better to make her into a domineering, gold-digging, and brainless woman.
In this way, those people would definitely think that everything that happened before was arranged by the Gong Family.
Sometimes, it was safer to let the enemy look down on you than to let the enemy take you seriously.
But Xiahou Zong was an exception. Although she was only twelve years old, she was a smart girl.
Lin Mengya deliberately brought her with her to see if Xiahou Zong would really have a problem.
Secondly, the role of the "evil slave" of this sly girl was quite immersive.
The steward was scolded by a little girl, but he was not angry.
His smile was a little awkward, but he bowed and hurriedly apologized.
"Oh, it's the eldest daughter of the Gong Family. I'm so blind to have neglected you. This way, please. "
Xiahou Rui snorted coldly, his nose pointed at the sky.
She turned around and bowed to him, saying loudly.
"Miss, don't be angry with these dogs of servants. I'll teach them a lesson later. "
His words were unreasonable and rude, which immediately caused her, the eldest daughter of the Gong Family, to be scolded.
However, this was also the purpose of Lin Mengya and the others today. She glanced at the steward indifferently and squeezed out a "hmm" through her nose.
The auction house was not small. The first floor was the display area for goods. Although it was large, it was also the most crowded.
Aristocratic families like them all had special passageways.
The floor was covered with expensive wool carpets. As soon as they came in, they were accompanied by a steward and a maid.
Although it was Lin Mengya's first time here, she deliberately pretended to be noble, but her eyes secretly looked around.
The steward led the way, and she and the five sons of the Gong Family slowly walked to the second floor.
This place was relatively quiet. On the circular grandstand, there were boxes of various sizes.
They all had the clan emblem on them.
Lin Mengya had read about it in a book before, so she roughly knew which big families had come.
Whenever there was someone inside, the dark red curtain would fall down.
One could roughly see the size of the room.
The steward led them to the southwest corner and said with a smile.
"This is the room where the honored guests can rest for the time being. I hope you can bear with me. "
Lin Mengya only took a glance at it, and a sneer immediately appeared on her lips.
"Big brother, I think we should go back. It was said that the Rong Clan and the Xu Clan were the top merchants, but now it seemed that they were just so-so. I can't sit in such a shabby room. "
She said softly, but there was obvious disgust in her eyes.
The private room wasn't very small, but compared to the other aristocratic families, it was very shabby.
It seemed that the Rong family and the Xu family looked down on the Gong family.
Well, she was just worried that she didn't have a reason to ruin their business.
What a good opponent. Knowing that she was dozing off, he automatically gave her a pillow.
"Humph, of course they won't like the Gong family. Well, since that's the case, let's go back. You, go and tell your master. The Gong family will remember today's humiliation. If you want to transport your goods from Karghalik in the future, you'd better be careful. "
Gong Er narrowed his eyes. His burly body made people feel especially pressured.
Now that he was speaking in a cold tone, there was even some displeasure in his tone.
The steward couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He might not know others, but he had heard of Gong Er.
The second son of the Gong family was famous for being ruthless. If he really targeted someone, no one would be able to stand it if he did it a few times.
"Erm … please calm down, Second Master. We don't dare to neglect you, but the rooms are first come, first served. I've also picked the best room for all of you. Why don't you … "
"Steward, if I remember correctly, the rooms of the top ten aristocratic families are fixed every year. The Holy Temple hasn't said anything yet, but the Rong family and the Xu family have automatically removed our name. If news of this were to spread, I wonder what the Hall Master would think of it. "
The person who spoke was the fourth young master of the Gong family.
Even though he had a graceful bearing and was gentle like jade, his words were watertight, and he was someone who would choke someone to death without paying for it.
The steward broke out in a cold sweat again, and even the smile on his face was not as natural as before.
Didn't they say that the Gong family was a bunch of idiots, a pushover that anyone could bully?
It seemed that he was the one who had met with a problem.
"Please calm down, gentlemen. We don't have that intention. It's just that the esteemed guests of the Gong family haven't visited us for a few years, so we … "
"You're looking down on us. We didn't come for the first few years because you didn't have anything that could attract us. This year, your master sent an invitation to us, and I thought that he had really bought some good stuff. After all that trouble, your auction house is actually so mediocre as well. Forget it, we don't want this invitation anymore. Brothers, I think we'd better go. "
Lin Mengya would, of course, launch the final blow.
She casually took the invitation from Baisu, threw it on the ground, and turned around to leave.
"Gentlemen, please wait."
"Is the main character finally here?" Lin Mengya sneered inwardly, slightly raised her eyebrows, and looked at the man impatiently.
"Childe!"
The steward immediately went up to him as if he had seen his savior.
But there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
"You can't even handle such a small matter. Go and receive your punishment."
The man spoke in a very low voice, as if there was not a trace of emotion in his voice.
But the steward's shoulders shook, and he suddenly knelt down in front of the man.
"Thank you for sparing my life, Childe!"
After that, he kowtowed a few more times, and then quietly disappeared in front of the crowd.
The childe was in his twenties, and his face was ordinary. It would be an exaggeration to say that he was handsome.
But once he smiled, people would feel that he was easy-going and amiable.
He didn't put on a serious face just now, but the steward was frightened. He must be a ruthless person.
"I'm Rong Luyi, and I apologize to you."
Rong Luyi, wasn't he the only childe of the Rong Family?
He was a tough guy. It was said that since he was born, the head of the Rong Family had never had a son or a daughter.
Even his two older brothers died before they reached adulthood.
Therefore, he was the only one left in the huge Rong Family.
Rong Luyi's attitude was neither servile nor overbearing. He personally came out to apologize, and with a gentle and polite smile on his face, the tense atmosphere suddenly disappeared.
The five sons of the Gong Family were born in an aristocratic family, so they naturally couldn't behave like hooligans in the market.
They bowed back to Rong Luyi, showing respect to him.
"Everyone, it was indeed our family's improper arrangement. Please calm down, I've already asked people to prepare. "
Rong Luyi spoke again. As soon as he came out, he punished the steward, then apologized, and finally offered to make new arrangements.
After this series of attacks, if the Gong Family continued to nitpick, they would be unforgiving.
Sure enough, he was a man who knew when to yield and when to stand tall.
"Then I'll have to trouble Master Rong, thank you."
Gong Bin cupped his hands in thanks. The Gong Family respected Gong Bin on the surface, and even Lin Mengya had to obey him.
Rong Luyi immediately bowed back and made a gesture of invitation.
The five sons of the Gong Family walked over together, but Lin Mengya found that the pair of hands holding her were unexpectedly tight.
Fortunately, the people in front could not see them, so Lin Mengya called out softly.
"Shang 'er, what's wrong?"
The little girl's body suddenly stiffened, and she looked at her in a daze.
"That person, he, he's not human!"
Lin Mengya glanced at the man walking in front, who seemed to be chatting happily with Gong Bin and got along well.
"Don't be afraid, she won't recognize you. Moreover, you have me to protect you, don't be afraid. "
She comforted him softly, and Shang 'er finally calmed down.
However, Shang 'er still did not dare to look at Rong Luyi.
"Previously when we were at sea, that person killed all the sick people. Moreover, he personally used a dagger to cut off parts of their bodies. Eldest Miss, you must be careful of him! "
It was not that Lin Mengya had not seen perverts, and she also knew that in the eyes of these people, slaves were worse than pigs and dogs.
However, this person's actions were too cruel and merciless.
"Alright, I understand."
Her wide sleeves fell down, and she held Shang 'er's little hand tightly.
The latter also held her hand. In this place, they could only lean on each other.
After going around the boxes in front, it suddenly became clear.
Lin Mengya had already figured out the rules here. The whole place was divided into eight sections, and all the aristocratic families were arranged to be in five of the sections.
In each section, only two of the top ten aristocratic families were arranged.
As for the remaining three areas, they were probably there to entertain forces like the Three Kings and One Saint.
"Dear guests, this is the previous wing of the Gong Family. Please forgive us for our poor hospitality."
In just a short while, Rong Luyi and Gong Bin were already chatting happily.
Lin Mengya had been following behind them, dutifully playing her role as a vase.
The box in front of them was more than twice the size of the previous one.
Whether it was the tables, chairs, or soft mattresses, they were all arranged delicately and appropriately.
Although it was midsummer, there was a faint cool breeze inside, mixed with a leisurely cold fragrance.
It was obvious that they had put in a lot of effort.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master Rong. I appreciate it."
