Before long, the two vying for the pearl had driven the price up to 150,000 taels.
Qi Yue felt that, while the pearl was indeed large, to describe it as calming and shocking was an exaggeration. She would prefer to spend a single tael of Silver for medicine instead.
However, watching the two quarrel was genuinely entertaining.
One cursed the other's mother, the other cursed his father, each equally relentless.
Both were determined to have that pearl.
In the midst of the fierce bidding, both gradually reverted to their normal voices, and even their wigs were pulled off.
Qi Yue increasingly believed that the shorter one was Song Gensheng.
Now that she recognized him, there was no need to let him struggle over a pearl, as she happened to have two large boxes of them in her space.
Though not as large as this one, they were adequate for both playing and medicinal use.
