Chapter 140: Auction
Hosendo
"This shop is the most famous jewelry store in Dragon Studios, I've heard of it for a long time, but I didn't expect us to come and see it for a long time. Miss, is it fifteen today? Standing at the door of the store, Lan Yu asked suddenly.
Lin Xiaoyou nodded slightly, "Exactly." ”
"Great, I heard that Baoxiantang will launch new jewelry for auction on the fifteenth day of every month, they are all unique treasures, and we just happened to have a fun today. Speaking of which, although it is famous, no one knows who the boss behind it is, which is really mysterious. Lan Yu rarely goes out on weekdays, and she has only heard of Baoxian Hall, so she naturally doesn't know that the owner behind this scene is actually someone she sees every day.
She didn't know, but Lin Xiaoyou was clear, glancing at the crowd around her, no wonder she felt that there was an inexplicable bustle here today, it turned out that there was an event. Although the auction is the highest bidder, not everyone can afford it, but people have always liked to join in the fun, and it is not bad to see if you can't afford it.
is a 'No. 1 village in the world', Xiahou Yichen is really an expert in business, covering a wide range of walks of life, which makes people look sideways. Not to mention the rest, just looking at Biluoju and this Baoxian Hall, it can be far ahead of the top of the merchants, and its means and abilities can be seen.
Auction, it's really interesting. Speaking of beauty, everyone has a love for beauty, and today, will you meet some interesting people? Lin Xiaoyou smiled lightly, "Sister Lan, let's go in." ”
When I entered the wide hall, I saw a group of people talking in front of the three paintings. Most of the people in the crowd are beautifully dressed women, and the eyes of the paintings are surprised and envious, and some are disappointed.
Taking a closer look, Lin Xiaoyou understood where the meaning of those women's gaze came from.
The three paintings in front of him depict three beautiful and noble women, with different postures and different decorations, and the jewelry on their bodies is a new product in today's auction.
The first picture of a beauty, with a pair of gold thread rubies in the hair piled up in the green silk step, one on one side, decorated on both sides, in the middle is a fine and delicate flower, and the forehead is decorated with a red ruby, which reflects each other with the steps on both sides, and the beauty is not in full bloom.
The second picture of the beauty is much simpler, with long black flowing hair and only a purple hosta carved in the air. This hairpin looks simple, but it is very fine and unique in terms of handwork and style, showing a noble and elegant temperament.
The third picture of a beautiful woman holding a peony in her hand, her long hair is waist-length draped behind her back, and her headdress is simply embellished. If you look closely, you will find that the focus this time is not on the hair ornament, but on the pair of thumb-sized big dong beads on the white petite ears. This big east pearl is a specialty of the South China Sea, there are also three, six, nine and so on, can be painted on this pair of big east pearls, as long as a little eye-catching people, just look at the color and size to know that this is the best of the best.
Although Bao Xian Tong only launched three new pieces of jewelry for auction, these three paintings alone caused quite a stir.
Things are beautiful, but the price is even more beautiful. Lin Xiaoyou looked over in turn, and the starting price of the auction was indicated in the lower right corner of each painting: from 2,000 taels, and there was no upper limit, depending on who had more silver and who took it.
At this moment, she finally understood what those surprised and disappointed eyes were. To put it bluntly, there is not enough silver, and I can't afford it when I look at it.
Lan Yu followed beside him, looking quiet on the surface, but also smacking his tongue in his heart. couldn't help but sigh: "The price starts at two thousand taels, Baoxian Hall is really not something that ordinary people can come." ”
Just looking at the jewelry, everyone is a surprise, looking at the price, thinking about their status, thinking about their purse, they like it, but they don't have money.
"Scarcity is expensive, since it is said to be unique, it is expensive in that single word." Lin Xiaoyou explained calmly.
She didn't plan to buy it, of course it was very calm.
"Miss, these three pieces of jewelry are very beautiful, or we should buy them all." Lan Yu's eyes were difficult to choose and lingered on the three paintings, she felt that the three pieces of jewelry were good-looking, and they were all suitable for her young lady, and she was distressed about everything, so she might as well buy them all. What about the price, who is the prince of her family, so she doesn't care about that little money, but is afraid that the young lady will not give him a loser!
She didn't speak loudly, but she was full of energy, and she looked confident, as if she didn't pay attention to the price of jewelry at all, which instantly attracted the people around her to look at them slightly.
When seeing Lin Xiaoyu's face clearly, the original surprise became unkind, everyone has a love for beauty, and whoever sees a woman who is more beautiful than himself can be in a good mood. After looking at it for a while, I found that she and Lan Yu couldn't wear ordinary clothes, and their wolf-like eyes changed, some were sarcastic, disdainful, envious, jealous and hateful, and some watched good shows.
It's not that they look down on Lin Xiaoyu, but they dare to say big things in ordinary clothes like them. Moreover, they have been looking here for a long time, and the price of the three pieces of jewelry starts at 2,000 each, and there is no upper limit, and they have not sold a single piece under such conditions. No one wants to be the first bird, they are all waiting for the right opportunity, and now Lan Yu wants to take the three together, who believes it?
Lan Yu's words made them the focus of the audience, and when she noticed that everyone around them was eager to eat their eyes, Lin Xiaoyu asked the sky speechlessly.
Her Lan sister is really good at pulling hatred for her, and she has set up countless enemies for her in the blink of an eye. She really wanted to ask, where is the calm and calm Sister Lan on weekdays?
is the so-called concern is chaos, knowing that Lan Yu is about to lose her mouth because of her, Lin Xiaoyou naturally won't blame her, just glared at her with a smile, and said: "You think this is a vegetable market to buy Chinese cabbage, a few copper plates to buy a bunch!" Is your young lady such a loser? ”
When the words fell, everyone's expressions of I knew you couldn't afford it were even more unkind, and the color of disdain was hard to hide on their faces. If you can't afford it, you can't afford it, and you can't say that it's not a loser to wash away your poverty.
If they have the money and are willing to pay for it, the losers are willing.
Lin Xiaoyou's eyes wandered as he spoke, and he inadvertently saw a slim pink figure outside the crowd standing quietly with a maid. Although she looks very strange, this woman's eyes are clear, her beautiful face has a decent smile, and there is a rare peace and tranquility between her eyebrows and eyes. At this moment, when she found Lin Xiaoyou's gaze, she smiled and nodded slightly at Lin Xiaoyou to say hello. The quiet and elegant gestures exuding a bookish atmosphere, making people look at it, only to feel that the distractions in their hearts have dissipated.
It seems that the years are quiet and good. This can't help but make her a little curious, what kind of family can cultivate such an outstanding woman.
The other party took the initiative to greet her, and Lin Xiaoyou immediately smiled back, although she didn't know her, she must be a noble girl from a noble family. is reasonable, how can she not lose her identity and demeanor as a princess.
"But...... Wang ......" Lan Yu threw herself on the jewelry and didn't notice Lin Xiaoyu's expression, and was about to defend herself, when she suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly changed her words: "Xia Gongzi said, as long as Miss likes it, buy it all." "She is unwilling, how beautiful the jewelry is, if the young lady brings it, it will definitely be beautiful, and the prince will be happy.
"Sister Lan, do you think your young lady doesn't look good without jewelry?" Lin Xiaoyou came back to her senses and asked with a smile, nodding her head as she spoke, "Even if I don't bring beautiful jewelry, I'm still your miss." Besides, what's wrong with a simple outfit, no matter how beautiful and expensive things are, they are also outside the body, and you know I have always disliked these. Let's go and see the others. ”
Buying things is secondary, and in the final analysis, I still don't want to owe Xiahou Yichen too much. They are allies, but not creditors, and Xiahou Yichen never owes her anything.
As soon as he finished speaking, an arrogant and provocative voice sounded in the crowd: "Even if you are a little self-aware, things and people are the same, what kind of things match what kind of people, so that they can be compatible with each other." Otherwise, it would be ridiculous and generous to take it out. Do you say, cousin? ”
"That's exactly what my cousin said." Another voice chimed in lowly.
You don't need to look at it, just by listening to the voice, Lin Xiaoyou will know who is coming? Cousin cousin, the name is affectionate.
Turning her head to look, two veiled women squeezed in from behind the crowd, staring at her with bright eyes gloomily, the person who came was not good, it was Lin Qingyue and Wu Yingdie.
Covered with a veil, the injury began to come out before it was fully healed, and the two sisters' ability to resist fighting was really good.
Looking at the two of them, Lin Xiaoyou raised his eyebrows slightly, raised a bright smile to the extreme, and greeted with a smile: "It turned out to be Miss Lin and Miss Wu, it's been a long time." I heard that the two young ladies were deprived of the qualifications to enter the palace draft, why did they hide at home and cry enough during this time, and deliberately came out to change their mood? ”
After following Xiahou Yichen for so long, she is now more proficient in poking knives.
Which pot is not opened, the identities of the two were punctured in public, especially the draft matter stepped on their sore feet, and their faces turned green with anger on the spot.
The people around, among them, some of whom came to join in the fun, and there were also people with some identities, so they naturally recognized the two of them, and the matter between the Lin Mansion and the Wu Mansion had already been spread, and who didn't know! Especially the evil in Lin Lanhai, the current Lin Mansion is very unlucky, whoever is close to him is unlucky, and it is better to stay away. Everyone had their own small calculations in their hearts, and they were completely dismissive of the two people who came.
"Hmph, that's not your fault. Anyway, it doesn't matter if you can't enter the palace, maybe you will have a better place to go when you get there. Lin Qingyue said meaningfully, selectively forgetting everything that happened in the Guogong Mansion.
Lin Qingyue's thoughts about Xiahou Yichen were Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knew it, so angry that Lan Yu stomped his feet. How can there be such a shameless person in the world, and it is not ashamed to say it in public.
She was about to have a seizure, when Lin Xiaoyou reached out and grabbed her. It's rare for her to have a problem with Lin Qingyue, she was bitten by a dog, does she still have to hold the dog and bite it back?
Wu Yingdie glanced at Lin Qingyue deeply and quickly lowered her eyebrows, Xiahou Yichen's slap made them unable to get out of bed for several days, Lin Qingyue forgot that she hadn't forgotten. Not everyone is as stupid as Lin Qingyue, she doesn't want to enter the palace but she is cut off from entering the palace, it would be a lie to say that she is not angry, but it is not easy to tear her face with Lin Mansion now, otherwise it will be difficult for her to deal with Lin Qingyue.
The emotions in her eyes were full of resentment, Lin Qingyue didn't pay attention, but Lin Xiaoyu saw it clearly on the other side. Interesting, it seems that the two are not as sisterly as they appear on the surface.
This can be put to good use.
"What Miss Lin said is very true." Lin Qingyue didn't know that the sky was high and she was going to run to her death, and Lin Xiaoyou couldn't stop her. She was going to send the people of the Lin Mansion to die, and she would die sooner or later, so why pretend to be a good person.
Her indifferent reaction made Lin Qingyue choke, was she really stupid or fake, couldn't she hear the meaning of her words? As a result, she couldn't say a lot of what she wanted to say, and she felt uncomfortable in her heart. "Hmph, what are you doing here?"
Lin Xiaoyou rolled his eyes and looked around, "Miss Lin's nosy affairs are a little more lenient, I don't need to report to you what I do!" ”
Her outspoken choking made Lin Qingyue's face more and more ugly, and she said urgently: "Are you also here for jewelry, just because you deserve to rob us." She said that she looked at the first painting, she liked the jewelry of this painting - gold thread ruby step, but the Lin Mansion was still in a sensitive period, and her mother did not allow her to be too ostentatious for this, so she only let her go out to have a lively time and buy some other low-key jewelry.
It doesn't matter if she can't get it, Lin Xiaoyou can't think about it.
Her angry and corrupt appearance made Lin Xiaoyou a little surprised, and she didn't bother to worry about her, and she was endless. If you give her three points of color, you want to open a dyeing room, and she really thinks she is muddy. Noticing the envious gaze in Lin Qingyue's eyes, she couldn't help but smile meaningfully: "That's right, I heard that Baoxiantang has launched a few new good things, so I deliberately came over to take a look." I didn't want to buy it just now, but now I suddenly became interested, and it happened that I took a fancy to the ruby step and was ready to buy it. As he spoke, he turned his head and instructed Lan Yu: "Sister Lan, go and ask the shopkeeper ......."
"Wait." However, before she could finish speaking, a female voice hurriedly spoke: "You can ask for the other two, but the ruby step is not good, can you give it to me?" In the end, he seemed to realize that his attitude just now was a little overbearing, and he suddenly lowered his posture with an anxious look, and his words revealed a cautious pleading.
Looking at the owner of the voice, Lin Xiaoyou slowly hooked the corners of his lips. It was really unexpected, she thought that Lin Qingyue must be the first to come out, but she didn't expect that she would be the last person to take the bait--。
Wu-Ying-Die.
