Chapter 525: Variety: Escape Room (23)
Xu Chunqiu took the white jade seal in his hand and played with it, and then stuffed it to Lu Xiu.
"What's the use of this?"
As soon as they stepped into this casino, Xu Chunqiu noticed that Lu Xiu's gaze crossed the sensational flow of people and locked on this seal.
Xu Chunqiu didn't even think about it, so he won this chapter for him.
The white jade seal tentacles are warm, and the bottom is a finely carved "Lu" character.
Until she took this heavy chapter in her hand, she still couldn't guess what Lu Xiu planned to do with it.
The seal was copied by the prop team, and no matter how similar it was, it couldn't really be something that was preserved from their time.
Xu Chunqiu and his entourage left the casino without hesitation and returned to the door of the auction house.
It was still the doorman trotting up to meet them, and he obviously recognized them: "Please show me your admission ticket." ”
Xie Lang used his elbow to pestle Fu Nanxun: "Did you just win the money?"
Fu Nanxun: "Patronizing and watching the excitement, there is no difference between going to the underground casino and running in vain." ”
Xie Lang: "...... So what should I do?"
"Isn't Teacher Xiao Xu able to listen to dice, she and Mr. Lu must have made a lot of money. ”
Xu Chunqiu: "......"
Not really.
They went around the casino and didn't bring anything out except for a private seal of Master Lu.
Wait, Young Master Lu's private seal?
Xu Chunqiu seemed to understand what he was planning in his heart.
Lu Xiu couldn't get any admission tickets, but said to the doorman calmly, "I remember that admission tickets are not the only way to enter, right?"
The doorman was stunned for a moment, and nodded subconsciously: "Unless you can show a certain proof of assets, you can only enter with a coupon." ”
Most of the people who entered with proof of assets were big people with heads and faces in Beiping, and they were not so easy to enter.
Unexpectedly, he saw Lu Xiu take out a private seal from his pocket and shake it in front of his eyes.
The doorman fixed his eyes, and his pupils shook: "It turned out to be Young Master Lu." ”
The person in front of him is dignified, in a suit and leather shoes, and his gestures are extraordinary, and his age is similar to the rumors, plus the white jade private seal engraved with the word "Lu" in his hand, who is this not Master Lu?
He lowered his head and leaned over slightly, with a little cold sweat on his forehead: "I have offended a lot, and I ask Young Master Lu to forgive me." ”
Lu Xiu waved his hand and continued calmly: "After showing this, can I bring my friends in?"
The doorman nodded repeatedly: "This is natural." ”
He stepped out of his seat and bowed respectfully with a "please" gesture.
Xu Chunqiu naturally took his arm, just like when they first attended the auction together.
They walked through the dim, long corridor and finally stepped into the main hall of the auction house.
Fu Nanxun walked behind and lowered his voice: "So Mr. Lu is regarded by them as Young Master Lu?"
"Young Master Lu?"
"It's Miss Lu Jin's brother who disappeared. ”
He then sighed: "Mr. Lu's acting skills are good, his face is not red and his heart is not beating." ”
Du Zi asked with some curiosity: "The chapter just now ......?"
Lu Xiu nodded: "Yes, it's the private seal of that Young Master Lu." ”
"This private seal can mobilize all the assets of the Lu family in Beiping, and the entire Lu family guarantees it. ”
Du Zigui then figured out this layer, even if they really made enough money to enter the casino, it was far from enough.
This is an auction, how many people are staring at the wordless book of heaven, God knows how high it will be raised.
Just as he was thinking about this, a uniformed waiter greeted him.
"Mr. Lu, right?"
Lu Xiu nodded very frankly.
The waiter led them straight to the second floor: "Please come with me with your friends." ”
The first floor of the auction house is a private seat, and most of the guests who enter with coupons are placed on the first floor, with all kinds of people, while the second floor is relatively quiet, only the regular customers who enter and leave the auction house for a long time and the distinguished customers who enter with proof of assets, Lu Xiu and his party obviously belong to the latter.
However, this classification is not absolute, and the two categories overlap to a large extent.
The boxes are separated by beaded curtains, and on the mahogany table are the exquisitely bound auction roster and the pre-Ming Biluochun.
A man with a mustache in the bread compartment stared at Lu Xiu's face from a distance.
Lu Xiu didn't recognize who the other party was, so he quietly picked up the white porcelain cup on the table, held it firmly in the air, and gently clicked it, which was regarded as a gesture.
The other party returned the salute and no longer stared at him rudely.
Xu Chunqiu casually flipped through the auction list, and after a few pages of hastily reading from front to back, he couldn't find what they were looking for, so he started directly from the last page.
Sure enough, the last bid for the finale of the whole auction was the "wordless book from heaven" mentioned by the rickshaw driver before.
(Note: "Finale" has different meanings in different regions, so take the meaning of "last" here)
Got it.
Before she could read the introduction carefully, the dim glass lamp above her head dimmed.
Soon she realized that it was not only their box that suddenly darkened, from the box on the second floor to the private seat on the first floor, the lights went out one after another, and the entire auction house was darkened.
At the end, only a chandelier hanging from the ceiling in the center was still lit, and dozens of bulbs and intricate crystal glass combined to illuminate the auction table in the center.
The auction is about to begin.
The curtain in front of the stage is scarlet, the suede curtain slowly opens, and on the auction table stands a modern girl wearing long gloves, she is stepping on thin, awl-like high heels, and the white velvet gloves hold a small auction hammer.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the auction is about to begin. ”
"Grab your numbered ticket and don't miss any of the next bids......"
Xie Lang whispered: "The number plate of love?"
(Note: "I'm lining up to hold the number plate of love" from Stefanie Sun's "Encounter")
Du Zigui was keenly aware: "Wait, where is the number plate?"
There was no house number, no table number, no seat number in the box, and there was nothing on the table except for the pot of Biluochun and the auction roster.
They don't even have a number, how can they participate in the auction?
Lu Xiu's expression was not flustered at all, his index finger lightly tapped on the table, and it didn't take long for two knocks to come from outside the door of the box.
