Hua Zixuan stayed at Xue Caiyi's house for a few days and then went back. She liked Xia Yu, and that day she leaned on Xia Yu's shoulder in disheveled clothes and cried bitterly for a long time. Later, she was not without thoughts in her heart. But these days,
She heard from Xue Caiyi one after another that Xia Yu had done so many amazing things. She finally understood that Yu Wenxia was a man she was not worthy of. I was afraid she would only be able to keep this feeling in her heart for the rest of her life.
…
The rescued women 66 were all picked up by their families. Among them were several girls from wealthy families. Xia Yu also received a lot of thank-you gifts, including thousands of middle-grade spiritual stones.
.
After lunch that day, Qiao Xiaopang came to Xia Yu's room with a smile and handed him two exquisite invitations, "Yu Wen, look at what these are..."
"Auction?" Xia Yu looked at the invitation and said with a smile, "The Southwest Chamber of Commerce is from Caiyi, right?"
"Yes, your sister Caiyi brought it to you in person this morning, but you were meditating and practicing, and she didn't bother you..." Qiao Xiaopang said, "She said she would invite us to come together in the evening, and the VIP seats... I guess.
Have you taken advantage of me?"
It has been many days since he arrived in Xuantian Continent, and Xia Yu has never seen what the auction here is like. He accepted his invitation, ignored Qiao Xiaopang's joke, and said with a smile: "Okay, tonight
Let’s go take a look.”
…
Just after dinner, the carriage sent by Xue Caiyi arrived at the door of the inn. Xia Yu and Qiao Xiaopang rode the carriage to the auction house in the south of the city.
This is a circular building. The main part is made of stone materials. There are many reliefs carved on the huge stone pillars. However, compared with the elven reliefs Xia Yu has seen, they are much rougher.
Strictly speaking, this auction house is the property of the city lord's palace and is rented for use by the Southwest Chamber of Commerce. Although the Southwest Chamber of Commerce is wealthy and has many auction houses under its own name, it is not available in all states. The location of Yunmen City is relatively small.
Unfortunately, there are not many auctions of this kind organized here, so the Southwest Chamber of Commerce does not build its own dedicated venue, but rents it from the City Lord's Mansion when needed.
As soon as Xia Yu and the two got out of the car, Xue Caiyi came up to them. Today she was wearing a colorful skirt and a dark red open-collar top, revealing a large swath of white on her neck and chest. Coupled with her charming face, she was quite
It smells like a charming enchantress.
Xue Caiyi saluted, "Welcome Brother Yuwen and Mr. Qiao."
"Brother Yuwen is joking!" Xue Caiyi smiled softly, "I'll go in with you."
Xia Yu asked strangely: "Don't you have to stay here to greet the guests?"
Xue Caiyi shook his head and said: "I am the organizer. Once the auction starts, it will have nothing to do with me. I am also a guest sitting at the VIP table today!"
Xia Xia Yu smiled and said, "You are a cunning boss. Is it convenient to find fault only from the customer's perspective?"
Xue Caiyi covered her mouth and smiled, "Look at what you said, how can Caiyi be so bad? I just want to see if there are any shortcomings in my work."
As they walked in together, Qiao Xiaopang couldn't help but chuckle and said in a low voice: "Yuwen, your sister Caiyi is not trying to find fault. She actually just wants to sit with you! Do you think I should give it to you?"
Do you want to give up the place? As long as you say a word, I will find a new place immediately..."
"Okay! Go ahead and stay as far away from me as possible!" Xia Yu said without hesitation.
"..." Qiao Xiaopang rolled his eyes because he was choked. He rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand again, and said with a playful smile, "Then give me the spirit stone first, otherwise I won't be able to buy it when I like it later.
Get up, isn’t it all in vain?”
Xia Yu gave him a contemptuous look, was too lazy to chat with him, and walked a few steps into the auction house.
The auction house was brightly lit, and this auction attracted many people. At this time, many guests had already arrived and were taking their seats according to their number plates.
Half of the items auctioned today are relatively precious items collected or purchased by the Southwest Chamber of Commerce, and some are items entrusted by others to be auctioned by the Southwest Chamber of Commerce. If the Southwest Chamber of Commerce owns their own items, the proceeds from the auction will naturally belong to them, and
Those items entrusted for auction not only have to pay the entrustment fee, but the Southwest Chamber of Commerce can also get a commission after the transaction is completed.
In addition, except for specially invited VIPs like Xia Yu and others, other guests need to pay a certain admission fee. Of course, the cost of renting this venue must be paid to the city lord's palace, plus preliminary preparations, personnel costs, etc.
, this is all included in the cost. Generally speaking, although organizing an auction is a lot of work, it is actually a business that only makes money but does not lose money.
This is the first time for Xue Caiyi to prepare an auction of this scale alone. She has done a lot of preparation work in advance. This is also a rare opportunity for her to show her talents to the senior officials of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce. Seeing the order in the auction house, Xia Yu couldn't help but secretly nodded.
.
The VIP seats are on the second floor. There are single, double and multi-person boxes. The three of them entered a multi-person box. There are seats, tea tables and all kinds of exquisite food in the box. Xia Yu said with a smile: "Caiyi
, you said outside that you were agitated, but I think you have done very well!"
Xue Caiyi smiled and said, "Don't praise me. I'm really nervous. I'm afraid I won't be able to breathe until the auction is over."
While the two were talking, a waiter brought fresh fruit and instructions for the items to be auctioned today. Qiao Xiaopang couldn't wait to pick it up, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said to Xia Yu: "Yuwen, this talisman of Nanli Mountain.
I want to take a picture of the jade!"
Xia Yu glanced at the bottom price and said with a smile: "Okay, you will owe me money again!"
"If you owe me, I owe you! How can I show that we are brothers if I don't owe you more?" Qiao Xiaopang said indifferently.
Xue Caiyi covered her mouth and smiled, "If Mr. Qiao needs it, Caiyi will have plenty of money."
Xia Yu said with a smile, "Caiyi, please leave him alone. You already gave him a piece of talisman jade. Do you want to lend him more money?"
Xue Caiyi was stunned, her pretty face turned red, and she said quietly: "Brother Yuwen, Caiyi's thoughts can never be hidden from you..."
Nanli Mountain Talisman Jade comes from the Talisman Jade Mine in Nanli Mountain in the north of Nanshui Marsh. The quality is considered good among Talisman jade. The auction description says that this Talisman Jade stone is of medium-to-high quality and is about one foot square in size. It is considered a rare item.
.
Talisman jade stones are used for seal engraving formation talismans. Except for formation masters, no one else can use them at all, and only intermediate formation masters or above can use them. If this thing is auctioned in Liangshan Sanyuan, there will be many wealthy people there.
Array Masters will definitely be able to fetch a good price, but in this remote southwest region, even if there are Array Masters, they are still at the elementary level of using the formation flag. It would be great if that piece of talisman jade can be sold at the cost price!
Xue Caiyi couldn't help but know this. She specially arranged this thing and invited Fatty Qiao to come. Naturally, it was to give him a favor.
Qiao Xiaopang also understood this and smiled, "Thank you, Miss Xue. I'll remember this favor and let Yuwen pay for it! By the way, do you have anything arranged for Yuwen?"
