The place where the Gao Chamber of Commerce holds the auction today is called Wanbao Building. On weekdays, many rare treasures are sold in the shop outside, and the venue inside is used to hold the auction. There are already many people in the huge venue at this time, but
Everything is in order, this is a semicircular two-story venue. The boxes are all above and there are many seats in the hall.
The waiter took Fu Chengyu and the others into a private room. The fifth princess shamelessly followed and got in quickly. After sitting down, she waved to Ling Chuxi: "Master, this way, this way."
Ling Chuxi smiled and sat next to the fifth princess. Fu Chengyu was speechless, and he and Ling Yichen also sat down. The waiter quickly made tea, served fruits and pastries, and then stood respectfully beside him, waiting for orders. For a while
The bids at auctions are conveyed through them.
The box is not completely dense. The front is open. There is a railing half a person's height, and a layer of gauze is hung to block the view from the outside. However, it is very clear to see the outside from the inside. There are footsteps and voices in the corridor.
Voice.
"Master Shenshi, if..."
"Hmm. Okay..."
A few vague words were heard, letting Ling Chuxi know that E Shulan was in the box next to them.
The supporter of this auction is an acquaintance of Ling Chuxi's. It's Gao Wentian!
After Gao Wentian showed a standard smile on the stage below, he politely said a few words to thank everyone for their compliments, stopped talking nonsense, and announced that the auction had officially begun.
The first item to be auctioned was a box of pearls. They were large, smooth and neatly arranged in a brocade box, with twelve pearls in total. This is very rare.
"This box of pearls are North Sea pearls. They are smooth in color, plump and smooth. The starting price is three thousand taels." Gao Wentian explained briefly. Those who came to the auction were all discerning and powerful. Some things need to be boasted, and some are not at all.
The need is obvious at a glance.
Sure enough, as soon as Gao Wentian finished speaking, someone started bidding, and the price was directly raised to ten thousand taels. However, the price of this box of pearls was far more than that. So, someone immediately increased the price. Ling Chuxi was not impressed by this.
Interested, I suddenly heard someone shouting a price in the box next door, and the price was directly increased to 50,000 taels. After Ling Chuxi's fighting spirit broke through the eighth level, her vision and hearing were different from the past, so she naturally heard someone next door giving the waiter a price, and the waiter shouted out.
Oh, isn't this E Shulan's admirer named Qi Shishi Lei? It seems that he wants to buy this box of pearls to please the beauty. However, E Shulan has not even looked at him, can he please him?
This is not what Ling Chuxi cares about. She eats the pastry calmly and looks down. She is waiting for Qianzhulan to appear. Not everyone can afford such a rare medicinal material, and not everyone can make good use of it.
.
"Chu Xi, do you like that box of pearls? If you like it, I'll buy it for you." Fu Chengyu asked softly.
"Ah?" Ling Chuxi was stunned, then shook her head, "No, I don't like this." She didn't even notice that Fu Chengyu's name for her had changed. From the previous Miss Chu Xi to Chu Xi.
"I think Master will like it more if you buy some roast suckling pigs for Master." The fifth princess whispered.
Ling Yichen laughed out loud unkindly. She had to admit that the fifth princess had discovered the truth! Ling Chuxi was a big foodie. In her eyes, these rare treasures were really not as good as those delicacies.
