Chapter 194: Auction
Yang Yi turned his head and saw the little princess of the Xia family who came out with Xia Qinghou, the roast goose in her hand fell to the ground, and she couldn't believe her eyes.
Jin Ruoxi was wearing a pale cyan evening dress, a floor-length skirt swaying under her light movement, her pearl-white skin was delicate and radiant, and her long black hair hung down lightly behind her shoulders. Although she is not very old, she is taller and more developed than her peers, and that slightly childish and half-mature temperament makes her really look like a little princess who came out of a fairy tale world, and all the light is focused on her, the most striking thing is a pendant hanging from her chest, which is a ring strung with an ordinary red braided rope, which looks obviously a very ordinary stall.
"It's this girl!" Commander Yang felt that his brain was a little insufficient, and after staying for a while, he was relieved, he had long known that Jin Ruoxi was the daughter of a big family, but she had not said it explicitly, and now it seems that some of her usual lifestyles and habits are normal and deserved, and it is difficult for her to live such a dull life with herself for so long.
"Didn't expect that, did you?" Jia Hui handed a piece of beef tenderloin to Yang Yi again, and said with a smile: "I couldn't believe it before, the girl you usually bring with you has such an identity and status, hey!" The commander is really a master, even the little princess of the Xia family can be recognized as a sister, what else in this world you can't do? β
Seeing that Jin Ruoxi followed Xia Qinghou to start contacting those people in the business and political circles, Yang Yi turned around and shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's just an accident that I met this girl, and I never deliberately inquired about her identity." But no matter what, since I have recognized this sister, I naturally have to take care of her protection. β
These words have made it obvious that no matter who Jin Ruoxi is, she will always be the little princess of the arsenal, and if anyone has crooked thoughts about her, she is declaring war on the arsenal.
"The commander is too worried!" Of course, Jia Hui could hear what Yang Yi meant, and said with a smile: "Just the words of the Xia family, I'm afraid no one in Yinan will dare to have any thoughts about her, not to mention that there is a commander to escort her, hey!" This little girl is really lucky. Let's go! Let's drink and go! She'll definitely come to you when she's done! β
Yang Yi and the others gathered at a table, asked the waiter to bring a table of dishes, and brought a few boxes of specially prepared Qianwei beer, and drank it as if no one was around.
Here, Xia Qinghou took Jin Ruoxi to make a formulaic friendship, and he knew all the celebrities and dignitaries who needed to be helpful to Jin Ruoxi in the future, and then signaled his subordinates to prepare.
The violinist stopped playing, and then several strong bodyguards worked together to bring an ivory white Bransler piano, and the tuner respectfully invited Jin Ruoxi to sit down after debugging. The lights of the whole audience dimmed as a result, and the initial excitement became audible.
"The little duke is going to play the piano. I swear it's the best piano you've ever heard! Jia Hui showed an obsessive look and sighed: "Even Maestro Richard is very impressed by the little princess's piano skills, and thinks that she is the youngest but most talented and spiritual pianist. β
"It's like you've heard her play." Yang Yi was quite disdainful of Jia Hui's expression: "What's the use of playing well?" Can it be eaten as a meal? β
Jia Hui didn't dare to refute Yang Yi's words, so he had to change the topic and said: "Commander, didn't you say before that you knew a young man who played the piano better than a little princess, wouldn't it be a little princess?" β
Yang Yi frowned and said, "Did I say this?" Nowadays, young people are not good at learning, only interested in those strange skills, but they have forgotten many of the original musical instruments of the Dragon Kingdom, such as the sheng flute, silk bamboo, orchestra, pipa, Chinese drums, etc., although the piano sound is also the same pleasant and beautiful, but it is always something made by others, there is so much energy, why not choose a dragon country instrument to practice? β
Of course, Jia Hui didn't dare to say that the application of these dragon country instruments was not as good as that of pianos, and they did not have the wide popularity of pianos in the world, and it didn't make sense to say these things to Yang Yi, so he simply kept his mouth shut, so as not to make Yang Yi unhappy.
Lin Yuenan's attention has always been on Narcissus, ignoring the conversation between the two at all, while the two sisters and brothers of the Liu family moved their eyes to Jin Ruoxi with great interest, wanting to hear the sound of heaven that has been rumored by the outside world.
Under the soft spotlight, Jin Ruoxi smiled slightly, his fingers moved lightly, and between the keys playing, there was a crisp and pleasant sound. The individual notes that are connected together form a beautiful movement. It is as natural as the flow of a clear stream in the mountains, and as spiritual as the mountains.
A classic song "Remembrance of Love", the beautiful notes are like ice water melting in early spring flowing slowly, and it is like several streams gathering together to run towards the great goodness in the distance. Each note is organized to give a sense of the slow passage and change of the seasons, and is the most beautiful description of nature and music.
In just three minutes, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, the lights of the audience returned to their original state, Jin Ruoxi got up and saluted, smiling at the audience, quiet and elegant.
The audience was suffocated, and after a while, thunderous applause erupted, and Jia Hui was the most energetic here, while constantly sighing: "I have long heard that the little princess has unparalleled piano skills, and today I see that it is true, it is a gift from God to be able to hear such beautiful music that can touch the soul in a short life!" Even if I were to die immediately, I would die without regrets! β
"It's not easy to die, wait a minute, I'll let Sancang use Y2K to pull you to Yinan for a walk, and I guarantee that you will get what you want soon!" Yang nodded, and Zhi Tianxiu answered lazily.
"What do you mean?" Jia Hui was a little confused when he heard this: "I'm relatively familiar with the whole Yinan, is there anything that is dangerous?" β
"How can you be the ruler of the Heavenly Oracle Empire so simply?" Liu Xuejia, who had not spoken beside him, sneered: "Ah Yi means to let the third cannon tie you up with a rope and drag you for dozens of kilometers with Y2K, and it is estimated that you will only have half of your body left, and you will definitely die!" β
Jia Hui shivered, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I was joking just now, ants are still greedy for life, I live well, why should I die?" β
While a few people were talking and laughing, Xia Qinghou finally spoke: "Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the little girl's birthday party, and I, Xia Qinghou, thank you in advance for coming." After a pause, he said: "But since it is a banquet, there should naturally be a more meaningful program, and we are also very clichΓ©d, and we plan to take this opportunity to auction a few things in exchange for some money to donate to those in need!" β
"Commander! Xia Qinghou is going to pry your business! Jia Hui said in a low voice: "It's obviously a birthday party, why does it suddenly feel like it's become a charity auction." β
Yang Yi smiled and said, "It's okay! The more good deeds people do, the better! I really appreciate his behavior, and I'll have a chance to talk to him alone! β
Jia Hui was speechless: "A big man is a big man, and the head of the Xia family can also talk to him alone!" β
Xia Qinghou's words surprised everyone in the audience, but then they were relieved. The people present are basically either rich or expensive, and there is no shortage of money for charity, if you shoot one or two things, you can not only have a good relationship with the Xia family, but also win some fame for yourself, why not.
The master of ceremonies took out a few things that had been prepared a long time ago, took the microphone and said loudly: "Then since everyone agrees, the auction will officially begin." The first is a calligraphy and painting from the Qing Dynasty, and the low price is three million! β
The people present were nothing, the master of ceremonies said that it was a calligraphy and painting of the Qing Dynasty, but he did not say which name it was from, although the Xia family would not use fakes to fool others, but this painting was obviously only from a not very famous Qing Dynasty painter, and the price of three million was set a bit high.
But since they all came, they naturally wanted to participate, and someone immediately raised their hands and shouted: "Five million! β
Yang Yi turned his head to look over and found that it was a young man in a suit, the young man's expression was quite willful, and he obviously rarely walked around in society.
A pair of Qing Dynasty calligraphy and paintings of unknown artists were purchased by him at a price of five million dragon coins, and no one in the audience fought with him, which made him feel very bright on his face, but he didn't know that he had basically regarded him as a nouveau riche with a lot of money.
The second thing was a pair of jade bracelets with a green and transparent color, with a reserve price of four million, and was finally bought by a middle-aged woman for six million, and the young man who spent five million to buy a Qing Dynasty calligraphy and painting felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.
"The third and last thing. It is a necklace from the ancient royal family of Europe. The name of the necklace is 'Tear Stain', and it contains a poignant love story, with a reserve price of 10 million, please bid! The master of ceremonies forcibly led the rhythm and deliberately roared hard, but all the people in the audience were either rich or noble, and they were not moved by his enthusiasm at all, and they were all observing the necklace in his hand with platinum sitting on the bottom and inlaid with countless broken diamonds. At the top of the necklace is a natural sapphire, shaped like tears, shining brightly in the light.
"This necklace is not bad, the Xia family finally got something decent!" Yang Yi yawned, threw away his cigarette butt and raised his hand: "Ten million!" β
Lin Yuenan, Liu Yunning, Liu Xuejia, Jia Hui, the four of them looked at him incredulously, Jia Hui couldn't help but say, "Commander, were you bidding just now?" β
Yang Yi was stunned and said, "Everyone in the audience can bid, can't I bid?" This necklace is really good, and it is a rare quality to buy and give away. It's a pity that I don't have that much money, wait for Jia Fatzi, you can lend me some money, and I'll let the four girls transfer it to you after you go out! β
Jia Hui said: "What did the commander say!" It's just a small amount of one or two million, everyone is a brother, just use it! Say nothing and don't pay it back! β
Yang Yi laughed and said, "When did you become so rich?" So why don't you donate money to the arsenal every month? Lao Tzu said that borrowing is borrowing, where is there so much nonsense? β
Jia Hui's fart slapped on the horse's leg, he was very depressed, touched his nose and stopped talking. He didn't expect Yang Yi to spend his money in vain, and those who knew Yang Yi knew that although he liked to take advantage of small things, he would never take advantage of these things, let alone reach out to any of his friends to ask for money for nothing.
"Is there a price increase? 10 million for the first time! The master of ceremonies shouted hoarsely, "Ten million for the second time!" Ten million third ......" Before his words could speak, someone finally spoke: "What is ten million?" I'll give 12 million! β
