Chapter 79 Various Troops Take the Stage

  "Hehe, I guess we were too impatient. Ya-Wen's words and emotions are more important than the boss's urgent matters." Everyone heard Ye Yuqi's words and didn't dare to ask further, so they could only watch with curiosity - those interested in Jade Carver were all bosses of various workshops, and they weren't very interested in this finished jade carving.

  Ye Chou didn't hear what these people were saying. Her gaze had already fallen on the steps below the gate of Nie's workshop. At this time, there were more onlookers than in the workshop, and the outermost ones had already stood on the other side of Nie's workshop. Just now, Ye Chou seemed to see a silver-white and a dark-blue figure in the crowd, which was Nie Bowen and Du Haoran.

  It would be great if these two gentlemen could buy that jade carving, thought Ye Zhuo.

  But she secretly shook her head again.

  Those two, nothing is missing from the best jade material; Moreover, in Nie's workshop, there are countless jade carving masters. The works they carved with the best jade material, how can they be compared to the things she carved as a novice? I'm afraid that such jade carvings would not even be appreciated by others if given to them.

  She withdrew her gaze and shifted her attention to the crowd surging forward to see the Golden Buddha's hand. Those who had instructed Wang Chengdong and Luo Jingsheng to stir up trouble must be eager to come out and take a look at the scene they had directed, and even more so to find out if the Ye family could resolve this crisis.

  She swept her gaze from left to right and found Ye Yuzhang and Ye Jiaming also standing in the crowd, looking up at the stage. Ye Zhuo's face slightly cooled down. Such a big thing happened in Yu Zhuo Fang, all the workshop owners on this street knew about it, Ye Yuzhang and Ye Jiaming had no reason not to know. Just now, they didn't come forward to help, probably because they were afraid of being asked for money by the eldest house. However, regarding the nature of this father-son pair, Ye Zhuo was too familiar with them, so she didn't expect them to lend a hand either, and at this moment, it wasn't considered disappointing.

  Apart from Ye's father and son, she also saw the man with a gloomy gaze who had entered the Tao family workshop when she first came to this street to buy a workshop. At that time, he was standing behind a young man in his early twenties, tall and thin, wearing a blue satin long gown, and seemed to be his follower. Could it be that the young man was actually the master of the Tao family workshop, Tao Changsheng, the cousin of the Gong family?

  When she saw this person, Ye Zhuo's eyes narrowed slightly, and then shifted her gaze to Wang Chengdong, who was still standing on the steps. What role did Wang Chengdong play in this performance today? Did it have anything to do with Tao Changsheng? Ye Yuzhang had once proposed a marriage between the second house and Wang Chengdong; what role was he playing in this matter again?

  At this time, there was a slight commotion on the left side of the crowd. Ye Yuzhen looked up and saw a handsome man wearing a dark red long shirt walking in from the outside, constantly nodding to people around him who were greeting him. He stood tall and slender, with a handsome face, standing out among a group of middle-aged men like a crane among chickens. Very eye-catching. This person was none other than Xie Yuntian, whom she had not seen for a long time.

  Xie Yunfeng was greeting acquaintances when he suddenly spotted Nie Bowen and Du Haoran standing in the crowd - both of them were tall and imposing, and Nie Bowen's fondness for wearing moon-white robes made him particularly eye-catching. He immediately became excited and, without minding the crowded space, pushed his way towards them with all his might.

  "Boss Ye, the thing in your brocade box is being held too high and it's been too long. We can't see clearly. Tell that little girl to come closer so we can take a look at the goods." Someone shouted from below.

  Ye Yao saw that some people had already run up to the steps, while Qiu Yue was holding a brocade box and carefully keeping a distance from the crowd. She frowned and walked forward, whispering something in Ye Yao's ear. Ye Yao used to be a jade carver when he was young and had experienced some big events. Later on, his hands and feet were injured, although he often came out to move around, but never personally hosted such a big event, so he was a bit unprepared. At this time, after listening to Ye Yao's suggestion, he immediately walked down to the front of Yun Lao Yezi and said something, then returned to the steps, bowed to the crowd and pointed to a place: "Everyone, everyone, because there are too many people, in order to let those who have the ability to buy jade carvings and sincerely want to buy them see the goods, please make way for them. You all know that our Ye family relies on this piece of jade carving to survive, if we can sell more money, we can avoid our Ye family from becoming homeless, which is equivalent to doing a good deed. So please support us."

  Everyone is making a living on the same street, although they are competitors, seeing Ye's family like this, can't help but feel sympathetic, worried that one day they will encounter such a thing, so they cooperate. As soon as Ye Yuqi's words fell, the direction he pointed to automatically cleared a path. The servants of Yun Lao and others all ran there, standing one person per meter apart, helping to maintain order.

  As a result, those who had originally come to join in the excitement and increase their gossip would be too embarrassed to continue mingling. Everyone on the street had been doing business for many years, so they all knew each other's circumstances and hobbies. At this time, if someone were to rush forward to see the jade carving, wouldn't that be ridiculous? On the other hand, those who really wanted to buy the jade carving but were blocked in the back actually walked up through the alley, carefully examining the jade carving. Mr. Yun and Uncle Li had a table brought out, surrounded it with red rope, and had Autumn Moon take the golden Buddha's hand from the brocade box and place it on the table. Those who wanted to buy then took turns coming forward one by one to view it, in order to avoid any accidents due to crowding.

  The scene was indeed in order, and he was very satisfied. He then said according to Ye Zhuo's previous instructions: "Everyone who intends to buy, please come to the front. To prevent someone from making trouble, I will only take into account these people who have seen the goods during the auction later. Those who hide in the crowd and shout prices, I'm afraid your prices are not genuine, so please forgive me."

  However, when he spoke this time, everyone didn't react. It was just because at that moment, three people walked out of the isolated road, and the one walking in front was Nie Bao Wen, the eldest son of the Nie family. The ones following behind were naturally Du Hao Ran and Xie Yun Ting.

  "Look, look, Nie Gongzi has also arrived." The crowd was filled with hushed but excited murmurs.

  "Isn't his family's top-notch jade material scarce? He himself is a top-notch jade carver, what kind of jade carving can't he get? Why did he come to join in the fun today?"

  There were those who were well-informed, covering their mouths to whisper to acquaintances: "Do you know? Last time Old Ye bought the workshop, Young Master Du was the witness."

  Everyone who heard this widened their eyes: "Really? How could Old Man Ye be connected with Master Du?"

  "Who knows, maybe it's just luck. Hey, perhaps today Master Du will lend a helping hand to the Ye family again."

  That man elbowed the message spreader and said, "Miss Ye is not only beautiful but also capable. Do you think Master Du will take a liking to her and want to make her his concubine? If so, Old Man Ye will be overjoyed."

  "It's very likely." The messenger nodded and then burst out laughing, "Old Ye's granddaughter, who was adopted from the second branch of the family. If Ye Yuzhang that stingy ghost knew his own granddaughter had such good fortune, do you think he would regret it so much that he'd want to bang his head against a wall?"

  As soon as Nie Bowen and Du Haoran walked to the front, Ye Zhuo immediately cast her eyes on Tao Changsheng. She wanted to know what kind of expression Tao Changsheng had at this moment. To be sure, with Nie Bowen and Du Haoran presiding over the scene, all kinds of evil spirits would not dare to come out and make trouble. If this accident was really caused by Tao Changsheng behind the scenes, he must have been extremely depressed.

  However, when she looked back, she coincidentally met Tao Changsheng's gaze. She had to pretend to look for someone and scanned the crowd in a circle before withdrawing her gaze, not daring to glance over there again. At this time, it was still not suitable to stir up trouble unnecessarily.

  "Mr. Nie, Mr. Du... Ah, and also Mr. Xie. I'm truly honored that the three of you could come. Old man is deeply grateful." Ye Yuqi's face turned even redder with excitement as he saw Nie Bowei and Du Haoran approaching, beckoning Autumn Moon to bring over a brocade box. He said to Nie Bowei, "This jade carving was hastily done by my granddaughter, it's very rough, I'm afraid it will be laughed at by the three of you." Although Ye Zhuo's engagement had made him extremely displeased with Xie Yunfeng, since Xie Yunfeng had come with Nie Bowei, he couldn't bring himself to coldly snub him.

  Nie Bowen didn't say a word, picked up the jade carving from the brocade box, examined it carefully, then put it down and stepped aside, yielding his position to Du Haoran. Du Haoran also picked it up and looked at it for a while before handing it over to Xie Yunfeng, similarly without saying a word, with no expression on his face. It was only when Xie Yunfeng heard Ye Yuxi say that the jade carving was carved by Ye Zhuo that he felt somewhat complicated emotions. After taking a clear look at the contents of the brocade box, he suddenly lifted his head and gave Ye Zhuo a deep, piercing glance, as if he had been shocked to the core. However, he quickly concealed his emotions and retreated back to Du Haoran's side.

  Yun Lao Yezi had already instructed the servant to move the chairs into the Jade Carving Workshop when Nie Bowen and others came up. At this time, the chairs were moved over, and Ye Yuqi invited the three of them to sit down, and also asked someone to serve them tea.

  "Let Master Ye entertain others with his jade carvings, we'll just take care of ourselves." Nie Bowen said.

  "Well then, please have a seat here for the three young masters. I'll be slow." Ye Yiqi bowed his hands and retreated, calling out to others to come and admire the jade.

  With Nie Bowen and Du Haoran presiding over the scene, everything became very orderly. Those who intended to buy jade carvings all voluntarily came forward one by one to take a look, then returned with an expression of admiration to stand in the place designated by Old Man Yun.

  Everyone had finished looking, Ye Yuqi said: "I don't know if you have any intention of buying this jade carving? If anyone likes it, please make an offer."

  When Wenbo and others arrived, the scene became extremely quiet. At this time, a bid began to be reported, and it was so quiet that even a cough could be heard.

  Besides Nie Bowen and the other three, there were eight or nine people who came on stage to see the jade carving. However, after Ye Yuqi finished speaking, those people looked at each other in silence, with no one making a sound.
