Chapter 397: Auction (2)

"Nine thousand taels. A voice shouted. "Fifteen thousand taels. Lu Zhendong shouted in a deep voice.

As soon as Lu Zhendong's words fell, Mrs. Mu pushed a cup of tea in front of Lan Xin and squeezed her eyes, the meaning was obvious: someone was in a hurry.

Lan Xin pretended not to see Mrs. Mu's narrow eyes, picked up the cup in front of him, and drank tea by himself. If you look closely, you can see that the ears that are as white as jade are slightly red. The corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, his eyes were full of smiles, and it felt so good to be cared for!

The location of the attic where Lan Xin and Mrs. Mu were located, you could see the entire auction venue, but the people at the auction could not see here. Lan Xin raised his eyes to look at the private room on the second floor, and accurately found the private room where Lu Zhendong was. Raising his hand, he beckoned a waiter beside him, whispered a few words in his ear, and the waiter nodded and stepped back. Her eyes turned to the other side of the venue as if nothing had happened.

On the side of the private room, Lu Zhendong looked through the door of the private room with some feeling and looked at the location where Lan Xin was. Looking at the chrysanthemum tea on the table, the waiter had just brought up, and shook his head helplessly. Raising his hand to lift the lid, I saw elegant chrysanthemums swaying on the water. The corners of Lu Zhendong's mouth rose unconsciously, as if he saw Lan Xin's sunny smile.

Chrysanthemum has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, calming the liver and brightening the eyes. At this time, Lan Xin asked people to send chrysanthemum tea, first, to tell him not to worry, she threw this box of Dongzhu is also a role in throwing bricks and attracting jade, regardless of how high the price will be. Second, she is hinting to him that she understands his good intentions.

The corners of Lu Zhendong's mouth raised a doting smile, picked up the teacup, and took a sip gently, the astringent tea fragrance was mixed with a hint of sweetness. Lu Zhendong usually doesn't like sweets the most, and frowned unconsciously, but he still slowly swallowed the tea back in his mouth. His eyes looked at the crystal clear little chrysanthemum in the cup softly, this should be the chrysanthemum honey tea that Lan Xin usually likes, right? Thinking of this, he picked up the cup and took a sip gently.

Since Lan Xin's meaning is so obvious, next, Lu Zhendong only paid attention to the bidding outside, and did not participate. Seeing that Lu Zhendong understood what he meant, Lan Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, his heart was sweet, and the corners of his mouth couldn't be suppressed.

In the end, Dongzhu was auctioned by a jewelry merchant in Fuzhou for 24,000 taels. Next, a few more gem heads and other calligraphy and paintings were photographed. With the precedent in the front, the atmosphere in the back is becoming more and more active, and the host's auction skills are becoming more and more skilled.

"Okay guys, this box in front of me, although it looks ordinary on the outside, the contents inside are extremely valuable. It's the glass formula you've always dreamed of. Speaking of which, the host paused intentionally to give everyone a period of time to adapt.

There was a "buzz", and sure enough, there was a sensation in the venue. "Is the glass recipe real?" someone questioned.

"Well, I've heard that the glass was shipped from overseas, and the people there are really willing to hand over the recipe?"

The people on the seats on the first floor gathered together and chattered, questioning the authenticity of the prescription taken out by Mingyue Tower. On the second floor, some people were discussing each other, and several other waves of acquaintances got together and discussed in low voices, obviously wanting everyone to work together to take pictures of the glass formula. In the private room on the third floor, it is much calmer. Occasionally, a few people in the private room walked around each other.

"Okay, please be quiet!" Seeing that the time was almost up, the host shouted loudly, "Mingyue Lou has always been honest in doing things. This glass recipe is genuine. Seek its destined people now!" The host's eyes swept around the venue, and he said loudly, "Okay, the auction starts, the reserve price is 200,000, and the price is 10,000 each time." ”

"Two hundred and one thousand. As soon as the host's words fell, someone on the second floor couldn't wait to shout. "Two hundred and thirty thousand taels. In the private room on the third floor, someone shouted slowly. "Two hundred and fifty thousand" ······ The sound of bidding came and went, and the atmosphere at the auction was tense and intense, with beads of sweat oozing from some people's foreheads, and some people even forgetting to breathe with nervousness. The price soared, and when someone shouted "three hundred and eighty thousand", the venue suddenly fell silent, some people were watching, and some people were hesitating.

The host stood on the stage, and after getting the hint, before the next bid was shouted, he asked softly: "The value of the glass formula, I don't need to say more, everyone knows it." I don't know if anyone thinks 380,000 taels of silver is fair?"

"If you have something to say, just say it, don't sell it. Someone said impatiently, "Yes, let's talk about it!"

"Hehe, I just wanted to ask you, is there anyone else who wants to buy the glass formula for 380,000?" the supporter asked with a smile.

Uh, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then ten people expressed their positions one after another. "Smack!" the supporter said, "Then these ten glass recipes will be yours." ”

"Wow!" There was an uproar in the venue, and by the time the others reacted and raised their hands again, it was too late. For a while, there was a lot of discussion at the whole auction, some people were happy and some were worried.

"Why is my sister so willing to sell the glass formula? These three million 800,000 taels of silver, at first glance, sounds like a lot. But compared to the value of glass, it's really nothing. Seeing that the dust had settled at the auction, Mrs. Mu asked softly. I always feel sorry for Lan, and she knows the interests of glass best.

Lan Xin's face didn't have much regret, and the hand hidden under the sleeve played with the "Jieying Cup" given to her by Master Sifeng, and said with a smile: "When I got this formula, it really took a lot of twists and turns. However, the silver earned during this period can be regarded as compensating. ”

Although Mrs. Mu saw that the smile on her face was indifferent and calm, she also captured the trace of bitterness that was not easy to detect. Maybe Lan Xin chose to sell Fang Zi, but she was also a little helpless, right?! Thinking about the big girl in her house and the moth made by the Rong family in Xuzhou some time ago, she felt some sympathy for Lan Xin in her heart. In addition, she herself has experienced betrayal by the people around her, so she has a feeling of sympathy.

Lan Xin was frightened by Mrs. Mu's sympathetic eyes, and said with a smile: "Actually, this is quite good. So many people make glass together, and after five or six years, every family in the entire Dazong Dynasty can press the glass windows. ”
