Chapter Forty-Eight: The Young Man in White
"Good. ”
On the second day, today's Luoling City was full of people and lively.
Although Fuyuan Street is heavily guarded, there are people everywhere in the street, especially the Ouyang Auction House opposite the Jinyuan Inn.
One after another, one after another, the elaborate carriages stopped on the side of the road, and one by two richly dressed men stepped out of the carriages and handed the red gilt invitations in their hands to the guards at the door.
The guards also looked at the post in their hands very rigorously, and the people at the door were not in a hurry, looking up at the five gilt characters of Ouyang Auction House engraved on the door, and the plaque was engraved with exquisite patterns, luxurious and solemn.
The person guarding the door made a gesture of invitation and invited the person in.
The sound of horses' hooves stepping on the bluestone slabs was heard, and two white horses came over with a carriage.
With Ling Qing's 'shout', the two white horses stopped steadily. Ling Feng, who was sitting on the other side, jumped out of the carriage handsomely and lifted the curtain, "Young City Lord, we have arrived." ”
"It's finally here!" Ling Xiao looked at Ye Qi and Ye Shuyi, who were playing chess next to him, shook off the bored look just now, and said with a hint of excitement in his tone.
"Seventh brother, Brother Shuyi. We're here, get off. When Ye Shuyi heard Ling Xiao's words, he finally glanced at the chess game that had already been decided, and a touch of admiration rose in his heart for Ye Qi.
He has loved to play chess since he was a child, and now even his grandfather is not his opponent, but he didn't expect to lose in the hands of Yeqi.
However, although he failed, he still felt honored, and even secretly made up his mind in his heart that he would follow this little young master of the night family!
Ye Qi looked at the chess game in front of him, and secretly sighed in his heart, the young man in front of him was about the same age as himself, but his mind seemed to be more stable than his peers, such a person will definitely become a big thing in the future.
You must know that the night master loves to play chess the most, but whenever he is free, he will pull others around to play chess. Yeqi has changed from a stinky chess player to today's skills under the countless tempering of the old man, and he can even win over Grandpa Ye.
Ling Xiao on the side didn't have time to care about what these two people were thinking, anyway, he didn't have the heart to calm down and play chess slowly.
Ling Xiao jumped out of the carriage first, followed by Ye Shuyi.
The carriage of the City Lord's Mansion is almost unknown in Luoling City, and the moment Ling Xiao jumped down, someone familiar with him had already shouted out to the young city lord on the side, and the girls who were waiting to marry on the side looked at the handsome and dashing young city lord in front of them and quietly blushed.
Then Ye Shuyi lifted the curtain and slowly got off the carriage, holding a handsome son, warm as jade, which caused an exclamation for a while.
Ling Xiao and Ye Shuyi, who were standing on the bluestone slab, turned their heads to look at the carriage, only to see a hand as white as jade slowly lifting the curtain, moving lightly, and the white brocade robe as white as jade danced in the wind.
A touch of silky hair slid down from behind him with Yeqi's bending movements, and the sunlight poured in, as if it was gilding the little boy in front of him with a layer of golden light.
The three-point smile outlined at the corner of his mouth dyed a trace of chic and uninhibited for the little boy in front of him.
The young man in white came in the sun, and his handsomeness was not like a mortal. There was silence around him for a while, and even his breathing became cautious, for fear that he would accidentally disturb this immortal.
"The Mo master is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world. I don't know which lady it is, stirring the handkerchief in her hand, her red lips opened lightly, and she spit out such a sentence unconsciously.
This seemed to have turned on a switch, and the people around finally realized that the little boy in front of them was real, and looked at the person in front of them without blinking.
On the side, Ling Xiao looked at Ye Qi with a smile, "Seventh brother, before you came, I was recognized as the most beautiful man in Luo Ling City! ”
Ling Xiao laughed, but in his heart he had to admit that his seventh brother's appearance was indeed amazing, otherwise he wouldn't have attracted so many little girls to be shy!
Ling Xiao glanced at the little girls around him, these little girls used to look at him with shyness and timidity in their eyes, but now they all had red cheeks, looking like they wanted to see but had to be reserved, secretly glancing at his seventh brother.
Suddenly, he had an idea, coughed twice, and cleared his throat. "There must be no one here who doesn't know about me Lingxiao, right?"
As he spoke, he looked around, looked at the people around him who nodded frequently, and said with a slight hook on the corner of his mouth.
"I think everyone must be very curious about who this person standing next to me is, and today, I will take this opportunity to give you a formal introduction. ”
Ling Xiao looked at Yeqi on the side, dressed in white, with the cuffs tied, a delicate bracer on his wrist, and an ink-colored belt around his waist. Holding the ingots that just came out of nowhere, he stroked the golden fur on his body one by one, and a man and a beast became a picture of his own.
"I think everyone knows that my mother had a serious illness three months ago, and the person in front of me is my family's savior, the Seventh Son. From now on, he will be my seventh brother, and I hope everyone in the city will remember that in the future, when they see him, they must respect him as much as they see me. Did you remember it?"
Most of the onlookers in the surrounding area are the people of Luoling City, and the Ling family is the home of the city lord for generations, and the entire Luoling City has been governed in an orderly manner for generations. People here can not respect anyone, and they can't disrespect their city lord, and this respect comes from the bones.
The people around nodded one after another, Ling Xiao retracted his gaze with satisfaction, and looked at Ye Qi, "Seventh brother, let's go, let's go in." As he spoke, he took the lead in handing the red gilt invitation in his hand to the guard at the door.
"Qiqi, I didn't think this guy was bad. Yuan Bao said to Yeqi in his heart.
Ye Qi looked at Ling Xiao in front of him, and there was a trace of warmth flowing in his heart, although Ling Xiao is sometimes not very mature in his heart, but his biggest advantage is that he is righteous and emotional, and it is really good to be able to do this for her brother.
In a room on the fourth floor of the auction house, a young man stood by the window, looking at the scene downstairs, his eyes narrowed slightly, a flash of interest flashed in his eyes, and he commanded the people standing next to him without turning his head.
"Interesting, interesting. I even thought of using the light of our auction house. Lao Liu, send someone to inquire about the origin of this young man in white. ”
This young man can be regarded as a guest of honor by the young city lord of Luoling City, and the background behind him must be extraordinary.
"Yes. ”
The man in his forties, who was about forty years old, seemed to have great respect and respect for the son in front of him, nodded slightly, and then turned around and pushed open the door and left.
After this happened at the door, the guards took a symbolic look, and Yeqi and the others entered the auction house.
The auction house in front of me is indeed well designed, the whole auction house presents a circular encirclement, a large circular open space protrudes in the middle, and several lanterns hang above this open space, and the red light sets off a hazy feeling, which dyes the auction space with a mysterious color.
The lobby on the first floor is scattered with a few seats, but just ordinary people sit here.
On the second floor are a number of cubicles, each of which has a table with some fine snacks and tea. Compared to the noise of the lobby on the first floor, the cubicles on the second floor are quieter.
The third floor seems to be a private room, but there are more curtains than the second floor, and there is a red lantern next to each private room. The curtain floats gently, and it is impossible to see the situation inside, which adds a layer of mystery.
The staff walked back and forth on the fourth floor, and it was supposed to belong to the owner's own place.
Ling Xiao led the two of them into a private room on the third floor, the furnishings in the room were quite elegant, and the folded and cut flowers were placed on the blue and white porcelain vase, exuding bursts of fragrance.
There are several ink drawings hanging on one wall, and on the other wall, there are pen and ink paintings of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, giving people a sense of comfort.
Yeqi walked to the curtain and looked downstairs. When I got closer, I found the beauty of this curtain, when I was outside, I couldn't see the situation inside clearly, but I could clearly see the situation outside inside, and I could hide my identity with the cover of this curtain.
Yeqi looked around, and at this time, the cubicles on the second floor were almost full, and most of these people should be rich and powerful. On the third floor, there are not many private rooms lit up with red lanterns.
The noise in the hall on the first floor became more and more loud, and as the door squeaked and closed softly, the auction officially began, and the surroundings instantly became dark.
Bang Bang Bang!
Only three palms were heard, and the first floor of the hall was lit up in an instant.
Before everyone could react, some petals fell from the high platform in the middle, and a woman in a red crop top rose in the air with a red silk in her hand.
The woman wore a touch of flame makeup on her forehead, a smile on her face, her hair was braided, and her whole person was full of exotic enthusiasm and charm.
The woman spun in the air and floated down, landing steadily on the high platform in the middle of the hall, and threw a seductive look at everyone.
The hall downstairs instantly resounded with bursts of cheers, and one rogue whistle after another.
The woman smiled and made a stop motion, and the hall was silent for an instant, and everyone was waiting for the beauty to speak.
The beauty gracefully hugged her fists and made a salute, her red lips opened lightly, and her crisp voice sounded.
"Thank you for your support to me, the little woman's name is Ouyang Yao, and she is the auctioneer in charge of today's Ouyang Auction House Luolingcheng Branch. Let me show you the first lot of the day. ”
"Okay, Miss Haruka is so beautiful!"
"That's right, there is such a beauty to show us, and we will come to every auction in the future!"
"Support Haruka Girl!!"
......
Ouyang Yao kept a decent smile on the corner of her mouth, "Thank you! Next, let's take a look at today's first auction item." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the wooden board on the high platform moved slightly, and a long table one meter square slowly rose, and in the center of the long table seemed to be placed something the size of a wooden box, covered with a red cloth to hide its mystery.
"Today's first lot is good news for all the beautiful women we are here. I don't know if everyone has heard of it, the Xianglu Pill that has recently risen in Jiudu. This kind of project has a pill developed by Miss Yun Ruoqing, the holy daughter of the Nine Great Families and Nationalities. This pill is not only a beauty product, but also makes a woman's body seem to be immersed in rose incense, because it was developed by the eldest lady of the Yun clan, and now it is priceless. ”
Speaking of this, Ouyang Yao paused for a moment, arousing everyone's curiosity.
