Chapter 154 Can't Wait
"The blood jade finger ring... was unearthed from a Han Dynasty tomb three years ago... the starting price is 400 million yuan."
The auction master stood on the stage and introduced. The maid next to him was displaying a blood jade finger. When he saw someone raising a sign, he held the ring over so that they could have a closer look. This also allowed people to know the approximate opponents of this auction item. , of course some people will go out of their way to hide this.
Lager also held up a sign, and Wen Yunxi asked in surprise: "What? Do you want it?"
Lager shook his head: "You have to raise your cards once to avoid making people suspicious."
While speaking, the maid had already brought over the ruby ring. Wen Yunxi was not interested in the object and only glanced at it casually before turning his head away. However, Lager looked at it for a while before letting the maid leave.
"How is it? Is this the one you're looking for?" Su Qiao suddenly asked.
Lager was stunned and shook his head. Sure enough, he couldn't hide it from this great champion. He really asked the maid to bring it because he thought it looked familiar.
Seeing him shaking his head, Su Qiao didn't say anything more, just clicked.
His little tricks were not clever, and anyone with an eye could see it at a glance. Wen Yunxi must have known that, but he just didn't care about it.
Wen Yunxi leaned back in his chair, as if he had not heard the conversation between the two of them just now, without turning his head.
Lager looked at Wen Yunxi, hesitated for a moment, then leaned into her ear and whispered an apology. His warm breath reached Wen Yunxi's ear through the mask, making her tilt her head uncomfortably, "It's okay. , I’ll ask Feixi to help you pay more attention later.”
Everyone has their own way, and Feixi has always found some way to auction the Hongyun Building in Ghost City for many years. As long as the thing really enters Lanzhou, Feixi can always find some clues.
The blood jade finger pull auction process was very fast, not many people were willing, and the bidding soon became flat.
Wen Yunxi noticed that Su Qiao's sign was raised halfway and then put down again. He said funnyly: "You can take pictures if you want. Why are you hesitating?"
Anyway, no matter who takes the photo, Hongyunlou will receive a commission.
"Will you pay me if I take the photo?" Su Qiao asked with a smile.
Although his salary is high, the money he has on hand together is not enough to even pay the starting price. The commercial street shops and paper mills are valuable, but they have not yet been obtained. Even if they are obtained, it is not cost-effective to exchange them for a ring.
"What good things are you thinking about? Do I look like a fool? Besides, I am completely broke now and I have to rely on you to pay for food."
Su Qiao just said casually. Of course, he didn't expect Wen Yunxi to spend money to buy him any thumb rings. However, he sneered at Wen Yunxi's words. He would be a real fool if he believed her. It's true that he is being ripped off now. , wouldn’t the jade statues be auctioned soon? How could they be so poor that they have no money to eat?
The auction of the blood jade finger ring ended quickly, and was finally sold for 900 million yuan. Obviously many people had little interest in the finger ring, and their focus was not there at all.
"Is that the jade sculpture down there?"
Yan Qingshu lowered his head and yawned. She had been to other auctions before, and they were much more exciting than this one. All kinds of novelty items appeared one after another, and they even auctioned a miniature man. For most of an hour, there were only dead objects here. It was really boring. Very.
"probably."
Yan Shizong also felt bored. He wanted to buy a beautiful female slave back. Except for the two maids brought by his sister and Zhang Li, there were no other women in Lianguzhai. The maids were tired of playing with them, and Zhang Li and the two Tian tried various ways to seduce him, but in the end it was a little too vulgar to arouse much interest.
Who knew that not to mention beauties, not even a single exotic beast was seen, they were all treasures that could not be put on the market, and only the nouveau riche in Lanzhou could appreciate fact, Hongyun Tower also auctioned off living animals and slaves before. After Wen Yunxi took over, he re-established the rules. Living animals could no longer enter the Hongyun Tower. All the people and animals originally locked up on the underground floor were released. There were already people secretly there. It is said that the owner of Hongyun Tower has converted to Buddhism. Of course, some people suspect that the owner has changed.
Amid various opinions, Hongyun Tower lost a lot of customers during the last auction. It was only the news of the release of the jade statue this time that the popularity returned.
Yan Shixi took out the brochure and flipped through it, and quickly found the information about the jade statue in the middle, "Yes, that's the next show."
Yan Qingshu snorted coldly: "I want to see who will buy it. With Wen Yunxi's little appearance, even in Lanzhou, where we are unfamiliar, there is no way he would be ranked in another place."
Yan Shizong shook his head when he heard this. This sister still held grudges against Wen Yunxi.
Compared to his sister, although he was also humiliated at the time, when he recalled it afterwards, what he thought about more was how wet she looked.
Although she looks slender and pretty, she has a fierce and decisive temperament, which may seem inconsistent with others, but with Wen Yunxi, it feels like it should be.
Later, a series of her actions shocked him even more. She published a newspaper to promote herself, used magic medicine to cure disabled people with great fanfare, and even had a heart-warming love story with a beautiful man. If it were to be said to any woman from the Youchao Dynasty, this would be considered a scam. Despite the fact that she was scolded in the spine, her reputation rose instead of falling, and her statue was even auctioned in the ghost market.
He had never seen the wood carving before, but he heard that the carving was lifelike. When news came out about the jade carving, although he was not prepared to buy it, he couldn't help coming over to join in the fun.
Thinking of this, Yan Shizong smiled and said: "I'm afraid more than half of them are here for the jade sculpture."
"Hmph, I have never seen such a shameless woman. She has someone make a statue of herself and even sells it for public auction. She has no shame!"
Of course, Yan Qingshu also noticed everyone's reaction. As the next scene approached, many people had put away their careless attitude and even straightened their sitting postures.
She really couldn't figure out why so many people were pursuing Wen Yunxi. With Wen Yunxi's behavior, he should have been dragged away from Chentang long ago.
"I don't think Wen Yunxi did it."
Yan Shizong retorted lightly, Wen Yunxi is still a woman no matter what, and she should have the necessary reserve. If these statues are auctioned, she doesn't know who will fall into their hands, let alone what they will do with them.
Yan Qingshu suddenly turned his head to look at his third brother, "Aren't you also confused by her appearance? That woman is shameless at first glance. She will do anything for money. Maybe this Hongyun Tower also has someone Her share.”
Yan Shizong shook his head helplessly. His sister didn't know which rumors she took seriously. It was hard to say what the previous suspicion was, but how could Hongyun Building be related to Wen Yunxi? This building had existed for many years, and no one even knew the identity of the owner. Wen Yunxi How can Yun Xi be related?
Just as he was about to say a few words, he heard the sound of gongs coming from the stage.
As soon as the gongs stopped, the maid in white walked onto the stage carrying the porcelain plate. Everyone moved with her footsteps, and their eyes fell on the porcelain plate. Even though it was covered with red cloth, the shape was just a statue. .
Without waiting for the host to explain, the people below all raised their signs one after another. Those who had been in low spirits before were all in high spirits. Some even stood up and shouted: "Here, get here first!"
The maid looked at the emcee, who was also happy and relaxed, skipping the introduction and motioning the maid to uncover the red cloth.
