Chapter Forty-Eight: Sister and Brother
It's still early, the auction usually starts at noon, the venue is not big, it is not a problem to sit nearly a hundred people, and there are many luxurious private rooms on the second floor, which looks like it should be prepared for some high rollers.
After Chu Huohe entered the venue, he found a small guy working in the auction hall and asked, "Little brother, what kind of sword spirit weapons have been auctioned recently?"
Hearing this, the little guy looked confused, this guest is the first time to enter the venue? After seeing Huohe's immature face clearly, it turned out to be a little child, but looking at the clothes, he should also be a big family, and he guessed Chu Huohe's situation as soon as he came and went.
The little guy didn't dare to slack off, with a professional smile on his face, and said respectfully: "The little master is coming to the auction hall for the first time, generally speaking, the items auctioned the next day will be told to the guests at the end of the previous day, if there are any rare items, they will post a few days in advance to inform the monks, but only accept guests who book in advance." ”
The first time I heard of this strange rule, I didn't dare to agree with it, but Xiao Ai said: "It's just hunger marketing in disguise." ”
"It's on?" After Chu Huohe responded, he found that Xiao Ai had stopped moving again, so he had to give up.
"Is there another treasure knife auction in the near future, or has it already been auctioned off?"
Xiao Wu thought for a while, his eyes lit up and said: "There are indeed a few sword-type spiritual weapons, and there are indeed two knife-type spiritual weapons in the post that has been sent out a few days ago, but the auction will start in the middle of the month, do you need me to book the auction for you on that day?"
"Can you know the appearance characteristics?How many spiritual weapons?" Chu Huohe hurriedly asked, looking a little impatient, but the little guy looked embarrassed, and opened his mouth hesitantly, "This ......" glanced around quietly.
Qinglou was still very wise when he rewarded Xiangxiang, Chu Huohe, who had no worldly experience for the first time, seemed a little puzzled, the little guy understood, this stupid son of the landlord's family has never been mixed? Can't you see that the master is waiting for you to tip?
"To tell you the truth, a villain who serves tea and water can't talk about the content of the auction. This is true, because most of these little guys are in the realm of quenching the body, it can be said that they are hardly stepping into the cultivation, just serving tea and water to the guests, of course, they don't understand the appreciation of treasures, if they say the wrong thing, it will affect the reputation of the auction house.
"Even, if you can't forget it, you can help me book a mid-month auction. Chu Huohe saw that he was embarrassed, so he didn't bother with this question, how could Chu Xiong's Hongyuan be regarded as an ordinary item and sell it casually, so it must be at the auction in the middle of the month.
The little guy didn't understand the essence yet, and asked him to help him book the auction that day, scolding his mother in his heart, but there was still a faint embarrassment on his face, and he said again: "Actually, it's not that I can't tell you, it's just that if we, the little two who serve tea, talk about the auction items with the guests, we will be deducted from our salaries." The little guy also explained the words, thinking that this hairy boy should understand now.
Unexpectedly, Chu Huohe showed sympathy on his face, and sighed: "It's really pitiful, then don't talk about it, help me book the auction in the middle of the month." After speaking, he patted the little girl's shoulder, and said: "Everyone is not easy, just like I am a young master, and I also have the trouble of being a young master." Come on, do well. After saying that, he walked straight out of the auction hall, leaving only the little guy standing still.
Chu Huohe, who walked out of the auction hall, smiled crookedly, and said to himself: "Hehe, I want to rub oil from Lao Tzu, am I a fool?" He already knew what the little guy meant, but he just pretended not to understand, "The landlord's family has no material left, not to mention that he will enter the poor fog sect to practice in the future." ”
Lin Potian, who was hanging in the distance, laughed when he heard this, this little junior brother is a little interesting.
Chu Huohe, who returned to the inn, thought that Nanhuai said that he would leave for Zhongzhou in three days, but he was still here, thinking that the old guy would not leave him, so he stayed in the inn with peace of mind.
In half a month, the part of the pure spiritual power that Xiao Ai had given to himself at the bottom of the lake before was now completely stabilized, and feeling the further cultivation in his body, Chu Huohe stepped out of the inn and went to the auction hall with satisfaction.
When I arrived at the door, I happened to see the little guy of that day, and the people at the door were already entering the house, and there were many people in black and masked, who did not use their divine sense to investigate, even if Chu Huohe was a little white, he also knew that such a random probe of a person who did not want to reveal his true identity would definitely cause contradictions.
Chu Huohe was still far away, so he opened his mouth and shouted with a smile: "Little brother, I'm here again." ”
The little guy saw that it was Chu Huohe who came before, and his expression was full of regret, and after Chu Huohe approached, he opened his mouth and said: "Little master, you left in a hurry that day, and you didn't leave your name and deposit, so the little one can't make an appointment for you." ”
Chu Huohe then remembered that he really didn't leave his name and deposit, and after thinking about it, it shouldn't be that this little guy deliberately embarrassed himself, if anyone can book with a word, then the real buyer is afraid that there will be no place. I secretly regret that this little guy didn't remind himself that day, it seems that he blames himself for not tipping.
took out two taels of silver from his arms and handed them to the little maid without a trace, and said with some embarrassment: "I really had something important to do that day, and I left in a hurry, and I forgot about it." I wonder if it's too late to book?"
Although the little guy didn't look at it, but the silver in his hand a little felt that there were only two taels, and he scolded in his heart, this kid deducted some, but he felt a little that he hadn't seen it for a few days, this kid learned to be smart, and he was really the young master of a big family, and he was talented and intelligent. "Take a step to speak. The two of them sneakily walked to the side and secluded places.
Seeing that there were no people in the auction hall around, Xiao Wu's face turned bright, and he said with a smile: "But I registered a blank reservation that day, and I asked for my own pocket, you see if you need it, if you want it, fill in the name to get better." ”
"Of course. Saying that, Chu Huohe was about to take the red invitation in the little guy's hand, but the little guy didn't let go, "Hehe, how much is it, let's just say it." ”
"I won't tell you the truth, the new customer will ask for ten taels of silver to book the mid-month auction, but we don't have any money, so I asked the other brother to borrow five taels, and promised to pay back ten taels when I paid it back. ”
Chu Huohe's immature face looked at the little guy with wise eyes, thought about it, and said with a faint smile: "Okay, then you can keep it first, I won't buy it." After saying that, he left, and the little guy saw that he was leaving simply, and he was anxious, this post will be scrapped after today, and if it can't be sold, it will be a loss.
"One, two, three, four, why don't you call me?" Chu Huohe walked decisively, but walked very slowly.
"I'll sell it to you for ten taels of silver, and I'll pay for the five taels myself." Seeing him walking farther and farther, the little servant had no choice but to shout. After the little guy shouted, he lowered his head and sighed secretly, he didn't make extra money this month, there are fewer and fewer new customers, and they are all mature customers, if he didn't sell it, why don't he sell it to this guy When he looked up again, he had already seen Chu Huohe standing in front of him, and he was looking at himself with a smile on his face at the moment.
"Come and give it to me. ”
The little guy also had no choice but to accept his fate, took the silver given by Chu Huohe, and handed the post to Chu Huohe. I felt it slightly in my hand, but I found that Chu Huohe gave him eleven taels, and I was a little stunned for a while.
Holding the post, Chu Huohe smoothly entered the venue, still feeling in his heart that he was really a genius, if Chu Huojiu knew that he was so good at living, would he still have the face to compete for the position of the head of the family with himself?
The place in Lanfeng City may be a little evil, just thinking of Chu Huojiu, I saw it, and that familiar figure also appeared in the crowd at the door, followed by a white-clothed young man with a jade tree in the wind.
Chu Huojiu also noticed Chu Huohe's figure, and was a little stunned as to why he appeared here, and walked towards this side with a cold snort.
"What are you doing here?"
Chu Huohe smiled faintly and said, "Naturally, I came to the auction house to buy something." ”
"Xiao Jiu, who is this?" the young man in white first bowed his hand slightly at Chu Huohe, and then asked with a smile.
Chu Huojiu's gaze turned to the man in white, his eyes full of admiration, "This is my unsuccessful brother Chu Huohe." After finishing speaking, he said to Chu Huohe: "This is Chen Liufeng, the young master of the Chen family in Yuekaicheng. ”
Chu Huohe knew in his heart that this sister was really happy to make a name for herself all the time, wasn't she tired?
Chu Huojiu, as a veritable courtesan, has a young man around him who often changes, which Chu Huohe has long been used to, but he has nothing to feel emotional, and suddenly saw the post in her hand, and felt a little proud in his heart, it seems that she also spent money to come in.
"Sister, how much did it cost to buy this post?" Chu Huojiu was slightly surprised when he heard this, curious about what Chu Huohe was asking for, and then when he saw Chu Huohe showing the post in his hand a little proudly, he said sarcastically: "Does this thing cost money?" That little guy wanted to sell it to me, and finally gave me twenty taels, so I promised him not to report him. ”
Chu Huohe stayed in place for a while, and just wanted to say that he had bought a purchase price, and that he was also very talented in the house, but his words were blocked in his throat.
"Sure enough, as Xiao Ai said, the man who called God opened a door for me, but welded my window to death. ”
Seeing that he was flustered, coupled with the smugness in his expression just now, Chu Huojiu also understood what was going on, and secretly scolded the fool in his heart, but he didn't say anything. She has always been like this, and in the family she will say that Chu Huohe is not good, but outside, Chu Huohe is in her mouth, that is the first day of the Chu family for thousands of years, so at this moment, Chen Liufeng is also looking at Chu Huohe with appreciation in his eyes.
"Is there no one in the clan? Don't you know what to cultivate? You dare to run so far away alone. ”
"Sister, my cultivation seems to be higher than yours. ”
"I'll talk to my brother, Brother Liufeng is here to wait for me a while, okay?"
"Okay, you can go. Chen Liufeng is also an interesting person, and his sisters and brothers naturally chose to avoid it when they had something to say.
Chu Huojiu pulled Chu Huohe, who had an inexplicable face, aside, and shouted: "You dare to run around alone in this cultivation, what if something happens to your father?"
Chu Huohe felt a little weird in his heart, and he didn't know how to describe this feeling, it was like eating a piece of fragrant. Because Chu Huojiu suddenly cared about himself, he was really a little unaccustomed, shook his head and shook off the messy thoughts in his mind, and said, "I have the ability to protect myself." ”
With a cold snort, Chu Huojiu was quite angry, "Not to mention that you have only been able to step into the soul awakening for more than half a year, you are still in the early stage, even if you step into the late stage, what kind of self-protection ability can you have without Ning Dan's cultivation?"
"Your talent is indeed outstanding, but when you leave Liyang City, you rely on strength to protect yourself, don't you understand talent?
Chu Huohe sighed and said, "You also said that I am very talented. ”
Chu Huojiu didn't know why, I don't know why he said this, "So what?"
"So why can't I already be Ning Dan now?"
