"mr howe, I almost forgot to talk about proper matters with you."

After He Jinlan asked the Xia Gu to pour Liu Xinyue a cup of tea, he suddenly laughed and said.

"Madam, please speak."

After Liu Xinyue heard this, he knew that the main event that would bring him here was coming, so he immediately straightened up and laughed.

"It's like this, didn't I tell you about the wan chun tang auction before?" After He Jinlan heard this, his expression immediately became serious, and he slowly continued, "The time starts tonight."

"Starting tonight?" Liu Xinyue was startled, she had thought that the auction would be held during the day, after all, the card given to her by the masked guy at that time did not say that it would be held at night.

"That's right. To be exact, it started at 12 o'clock sharp at night." Hearing that, He Jinlan nodded his head, then laughed: "Furthermore, the auction held by wan chun tang are different from the previous ones."

"How different is it from before?" Hearing that, Liu Xinyue's interest was piqued, he laughed and asked: "What exactly is the difference, does Madam know about it?"

"I do know something." He Jinlan nodded his head, because Liu Xinyue would also be going to the auction with her, moreover he was going with her, so it meant that she was one of the people, and that represented her face.

Therefore, He Jinlan would not hide anything from Liu Xinyue during this auction, but would actually take the initiative to tell him about it.

"I heard that the auction held by the wan chun tang this time around will change from the traditional way of directly conducting the auction to the new way of starting the auction first, after the banquet." He Jinlan began to speak slowly.

When Liu Xinyue heard this, he instantly thought of those modern dinners. Usually, important things would be held during dinners, and only after the dinners were almost done, or perhaps after the dinners were over, would the important things formally appear.

This was the same logic as the new auction held in the wan chun tang.

"We'll go to the dinner party then." He Jinlan originally wanted to see Liu Xinyue's shocked expression, but she did not expect the other party to not be surprised at all by what she had just said.

Could it be that the mr howe had participated in similar level auctions or other events before?

"Alright, everything will be as Madam wishes." Liu Xinyue nodded, what else could she say other than nod her head?

Furthermore, as the wife of the prime minister, she would definitely attend the banquet. If she wasn't invited to the banquet, then where would she put her face? Then, do you not want to continue the wan chun tang anymore?

"And from what I've heard, this dinner wasn't that simple either." After that, He Jinlan did not finish her words, but she continued, "I heard that because it was an auction related to medicinal ingredients, the owner of the wan chun tang held a special event before the auction."

"Special activities?" Liu Xinyue asked puzzledly, could it be that it was some singing and dancing program?

"Yes."

He Jinlan nodded his head, then laughed and asked: "Why not mr howe guess what the activity is first?"

"Could it be some singing and dancing show?" Liu Xinyue thought about it and asked.

"mr howe, guess again." After He Jinlan heard this, he shook his head and continued to ask.

"Madam, please don't keep me in suspense. Just tell me directly." After Liu Xinyue heard this, he shook his head and laughed, "I can only think of this much, I really can't guess it."

"Haha, then I will directly tell mr howe." He Jinlan laughed, and after drinking a mouthful of tea to moisten his throat, he continued, "It's like this, I've previously said that the contents of the auction this time were all about medicinal ingredients, so the owner of wan chun tang hopes that the people participating in the auction can only be doctors, or other strange things with medical skills."

"Therefore, the boss wants to conduct a medical appraisal among all the guests before the auction officially begins."

"Appraisal of medical skills?" Liu Xinyue had previously associated this from medicinal ingredients to a doctor, but he never thought that it would actually be an appraisal of medicine.

Could it be that he had to use the on-site appraisal to determine who was skilled in the medical field before allowing them to participate in the next auction?

"That's right, it's the appraisal of medical skills." He Jinlan nodded his head and started to explain, "This medical appraisal activity is used to determine that the participants of the next auction have medical skills, and not to deceive them."

"Doesn't that mean that everyone who is participating in the auction can only be those who possess medical skills?" After Liu Xinyue heard this, he felt that something was amiss, and asked.

"mr howe is not like that." Hearing that, He Jinlan laughed, and explained it to her, then said, "If it was as mr howe had said, then I'm afraid those who have medical skills will not participate too."

"Why is that?" Liu Xinyue asked.

"Because the things that are being auctioned off in the wan chun tang are basically all very expensive. If there are no customers behind the scenes, then those people with medical skills simply cannot afford it." He Jinlan explained.

So that's how it is. This is similar to all the auctions in the modern era.

"Based on Madam's words, anyone who wishes to participate in the auction will be required to bring a doctor." Liu Xinyue took over and said.

"Yes, that's it." He Jinlan nodded his head, and said while smiling, "And this time in mr howe, other than you, I will bring another doctor, that is my personal doctor in the residence."

"Because he had some matters to attend to earlier, he only arrived in the capital in the afternoon. Thus, I did not introduce him to you previously, I hope that mr howe does not mind."

"It's fine, I can talk to that doctor just in time." After Liu Xinyue heard this, he smiled to indicate that he was fine, but in his heart, he was wondering when this close personal doctor had appeared again.

If there really was that person, then why did He Jinlan not immediately call his personal doctor back when he was having an illness?

"Since mr howe can think like this, then I am relieved."

When He Jinlan heard this, he relaxed. She had originally thought that Huo Zhongxi would be angry when he heard that there was not only one person going by himself, but also someone else.

This personal doctor was indeed someone close to He Jinlan, and he was here to treat her. This time, he was returning to the village to see his sick wife.

Originally, He Jinlan didn't plan to bring him there, but since the other party happened to be returning to the capital in the afternoon, it was quite a coincidence. Furthermore, He Jinlan was actually a bit worried about Liu Xinyue's medical skills, so he chose to bring the two of them along.

After all, one was someone who had been by his side for many years, and he was very familiar with them. The other one was someone he had just met not too long ago.
