Chapter 2058 Side Story 46: ten
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
There weren’t many people in the Yi Pavilion, only a hundred or so in total. Most of them had female companions, and they didn’t wear luxurious clothes or accessories. They looked low-key and calm as if this was just an ordinary private gathering. However, their every move and the bearing of their words and actions were still dazzling.
The people that Wen Xinya knew were limited, but the familiar faces that she recognized were all from the wealthy and powerful. She soon realized that these were the people who were truly hidden in country Z and had all the connections and power. Compared to these people, the so-called four big families in the capital city were simply not worth mentioning.
At this moment, Wen Xinya finally began to take the auction seriously.
Si yiyan and Wen Xinya’s arrival attracted the attention of most people.
“Why aren’t you wearing a mask in such an occasion?” Wen Xinya asked softly.
Si yiyan’s identity was special. He did not like to reveal his true identity on certain occasions and would wear a mask when he occasionally attended important events. Hence, he was often shrouded in mystery.
Si yiyan lowered his head and explained, ” ” today’s auction is just a pretense. It’s actually a private gathering. ”
Wen Xinya was not too surprised. She was just a little curious about the purpose of the gathering.
After all, she couldn’t imagine what kind of gathering it was to be able to gather so many big shots in country Z.
Indeed, si yiyan did not let her down and continued, ” ” in country Z, apart from the seven families, there are also ten other great families. These ten great families have declined due to the changes in time. However, in terms of family heritage and history, they are not inferior to the seven families. ”
Wen Xinya’s eyes were opened once again. ” “So, this gathering is actually a gathering of the seven families and ten families?”
No wonder si yiyan wanted to bring her to yundian. It turned out that his real intention was for her to broaden her horizons. She glanced at the venue and couldn’t help but marvel at si yiyan’s ability to rule over a region.
No wonder the stone tablet at the entrance of the ritual chamber had the words ‘90% of the Phoenix Emperor’ written on it.
Among the seven families and ten families, which one of them wasn’t a local tyrant?
Si yiyan nodded and said, ” although they don’t interfere with each other’s business, they’re familiar with each other because they know each other’s background. They’re usually on guard against each other and secretly compete with each other. However, they’re United against outsiders. They’ve been working together for hundreds of years. There’s no need to pretend. Besides, yundian is my territory. ”
There was no need to disguise himself at the private banquet of the seven families and ten families.
The seven families and ten families had restrained each other, cooperated, and banded together for hundreds of years, forming a tenacious relationship of interests. In this world, the most solid and indestructible relationship was the relationship of cooperation driven by interests.
Wen Xinya was suddenly enlightened and said, ” “It seems that the waters run deep in the seven surnames and ten families!”
Si yiyan could not deny it.
Although it seemed like they had nothing to do with each other, they were actually very dirty. He didn’t want Wen Xinya to be exposed to these things, but there were some things that he still had to let her know.
” haha, this morning, I saw Magpies flying outside the window, and I had a feeling that there would be an honored guest today. Ninth master’s arrival really makes my humble home shine! ”
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a long-sleeved shirt of the Republic of China walked over. He had arrived before the person, and he had a hearty and imposing manner, which was quite intimidating.
Si yiyan smirked. ” third Lord Wei, you must be joking. I’m here today to open the Phoenix Gate. I’m grateful that you think so highly of me. I’ve brought my wife here to ask for a few bowls of water. ”
Wen Xinya watched as he exchanged pleasantries with the third Lord Wei and found it amusing.
Wen Xinya knew that the third master of Wei was now the head of the Wei family, one of the seven families. The Wei family had auction houses all over the world.
Not everyone could afford to open an auction house. The first was the channel for rare items, and the second was the source of customers. Most of the items accepted by the auction house were hot items, and they needed to have enough power to suppress the matter. Even if an individual auction customer had great power, he also needed to have enough strength to suppress the people.
The third Lord Wei shifted his gaze onto Wen Xinya and burst into laughter. ” “I’ve long heard of sister-in-law’s family’s character and outstanding talent. Ninth master has good eyes.”
Everyone knew that si yiyan had married Wen Xinya. Most of the people from the seven families and ten families admired her. Just the fact that she was old Mr. Mo’s granddaughter was enough to make them think highly of her.
After all, the mo clan’s heritage was there.
Wen Xinya stood beside si yiyan and could not help but be stunned.
She thought to herself, this third master Wei is indeed very thick-skinned. Given his age, he’s almost going to be si yiyan’s father, yet he still calls si yiyan brother and sister-in-law. However, he’s rather tactful and praised both si yiyan and me.
Si yiyan patted her hand and replied, ” “Third master is right.”
Wen Xinya was slightly taken aback. What happened to being humble and polite? What happened to the modest and polite greetings?
Wasn’t he clearly ‘showing off his wife’ by agreeing so impatiently and uncourteously? Was he afraid that others wouldn’t know that his wife’s family had learned a lot and was extremely talented? Or was he afraid that others wouldn’t know that he had good taste?
At this moment, even the tactful third master Wei couldn’t help but choke. Ninth master SI’s acknowledgment of his wife confirmed the rumors that he loved his wife as much as his life.
However, he was someone who had seen the world, and he quickly reacted. ” sister-in-law, you’re now a legendary master in the jewelry design world. Your designs are sought after by the world. I hope that you can take care of my business in the future and give me some food to eat. You can also design a few pieces of your work and put them up for auction in my auction house. I hope that I can also benefit from your glory. ”
Wen Xinya smiled and said, ” third master Wei, you’re being too serious. Ninth master said that you’re doing a big business and that anything you sell is extremely rare. He wouldn’t think highly of my underhanded means. ”
Her designs were indeed sought after by the world. If this had come from someone else’s mouth, she would have believed it.
However, the third Lord Wei’s words sounded exaggerated.
The Wei family had been passed down for hundreds of years, so she wouldn’t have to give them a meal. Third master Wei was only giving her face on si yiyan’s account.
However, this third Lord Wei was rather tactful in his actions and words, yet he had a sense of carefreeness and magnanimity, lacking a bit of the shrewd calculations of a businessman, which made Wen Xinya rather fond of him.
However, she wasn’t an innocent child. The third Lord of Wei was a man of great power. If he didn’t have a plan in mind, how could he bear the heavy responsibility of passing down the inheritance of such a large family?
