Chapter XXVII
The three of them walked around for a while, Wen Tingyan looked up at the hour, and finally cut into the real theme of coming to the market today: "Tilting, ......"
An ice blade was pressed against his throat, "That, it's instantaneous, isn't it time for your Liu family's auction today." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Liu instantly poured a face, with an unpredictable look in his eyes, and said, "What are your ideas?" ”
"Why don't you just get some good things for our little junior sister, don't get excited." Wen Tingyan pinched the blade with his thumb and forefinger, and carefully pushed the blade away.
"Take the things, you go to the Liu family's store and take them as you like, I went to the auction and it was not in accordance with the rules." Liu Xiantian's expression remained unchanged, but he was very resistant to this kind of "unruly" thing in his eyes.
Generally, the owner of the auction will not participate in the auction. In a certain sense, the participation of the owner is suspected of maliciously raising the price and falsely advertising the value of the auction item, which has a great impact on the reputation. Especially in the auctions of the five major families, even if it is just a regular auction, the well-known families in Yangzhou will come to one or two to cheer.
"You don't need to show up, you can just pretend to be a little guy and enter with us, and you can give me the spirit stone first." Wen Tingyan joked. He dared to have the idea of letting the son of the Liu family pretend to be a little girl, and he showed the scoundrel's face vividly through the mask.
"Brother Liu, who is hard to work with, will accompany us on a trip." Gu Yin raised her little face and said to Liu Shuntian sincerely, she really wanted to see this auction, and looking at the situation, Wen Tingyan would not be reliable without Senior Brother Liu's nod.
Fortunately, Wen Tingyan didn't know what she was thinking, otherwise she would have stopped eating the landlord.
The junior sister spoke, Liu Shun's face was a little softer, and finally agreed to take the two of them in.
Liujia auction has a special venue in Yangzhou City, is a two-story ancient building, in front of the door stands a mottled stone tablet, on the book a "willow" word, it is said that this stone tablet is the same as the Liu family, has a long history of tens of thousands of years.
The style of the ancient building is simple, from the outside it seems to be no different from the ordinary restaurant, but there are few doors and windows, with the middle door, both sides of the door, and there are almost no windows on the first and second floors.
Today is just an ordinary auction, only the right side door is opened, and there are many maids guiding in front of the door.
When the three of them arrived at the door, a young girl wearing a peach-colored tunic and a pale yellow chest came forward to guide, and when she saw Liu Shuntian, she was stunned for a moment, and then said respectfully: "Little master, please." ”
Walk through the outer lobby, walk through a hidden corridor, and then go up to the second floor to a lightly decorated private room. The word "Jiayi" is written on the private room, and according to the arrangement of the sexagenary branches, this should be the most noble one in the auction. Gu Yin had a new understanding of Liu Shun's status in the Liu family.
Wen Tingyan took the lead in the house, playing with the jade lion placed on the Bogu shelf, looking at the room like a mountain forest scene, and couldn't stop admiring: "There is no cave, the taste of the Liu family has always been amazing." ”
"It's good if the senior brother is satisfied." Liu Shun poured.
At this time, someone who looked like a steward knocked on the door and came in, and asked respectfully: "It's rare for the little young master to bring a friend, the old slave came to greet him, does the young master have any needs?" ”
"Participating in the auction is this, Wen Tingyan, the first disciple of the Mirror Xuanzong, next to ...... It's his maid, and I'll take my father's seat to see what's going on. Gu Yin didn't expect Senior Brother Liu, who was so serious on the outside, to lie so seriously.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it would be good to let Wen Tingyan attract attention alone.
"It turned out to be Brother Wen, it's rude, today's auction specification is two hundred lower-grade spirit stones, and according to the rules, it will be postponed first and then auctioned." The steward is a person who has seen the world, so even if he heard about Wen Tingyan's origin, he did not humble or arrogantly explain the rules.
Wen Tingyan understood this rule, but looked at Gu Yin with a puzzled face, and said: "In order to prevent bidders from maliciously raising the price and then abandoning the auction, the total price of the auction shall not exceed 30% of the deposit. He said to Liu Shun again: "Shun Tian, pay me ten high-grade spirit stones." ”
Hearing this, the steward looked at Liu Shuntian, saw that he nodded, and left a brochure for the auction before saluting and leaving.
"To tell you the truth, I'm here for today's finale." Wen Tingyan picked up the teacup on the table, and the lid of the cup scratched the rim of the cup, stirring the tea.
Although Liu Shuntian knew that he had not leaked the news of the finale in the slightest, he was not surprised at all that Wen Tingyan knew the inside story, there were almost nothing in this world that his headache brother didn't know, although the fake and indecent on weekdays was a headache, but what was even more troublesome was when he was serious.
"It's open." Liu Shun poured.
Gu Yin put down the introduction booklet at this time, sat quietly and watched the auction downstairs, ignoring the head that rubbed over from the side and tilted on her shoulder. From her current angle, she could see the entire state of the venue, except for the auction table in the middle patio, which was shrouded in darkness all around, and occasionally a faint light could be seen, but it was absolutely impossible to see the people inside. In order not to reveal the identity of the buyer, the secrecy is very good, but it is still unknown whether it can be detected with divine sense.
I only heard a "ding", a young man appeared on the auction table, Gu Yin didn't see how he appeared, I saw that he was holding a pocket clock in his left hand, and a small copper rod in his right hand, and the sound of Fang Cai should be the sound of percussion.
"In Shimoliushi, it is the auctioneer of today. Welcome. First of all, let me introduce you to the rules of the auction: the minimum amount of each price increase is the reserve price of the auction item, and the price will be increased once at a ring; If the limit is exceeded, please contact the steward to make up the deposit; Those who abandon the auction will be left alive. Liu Shi's voice almost sounded in Gu Yin's ears, this hand could already make most of the people present respectful, especially the last sentence that the person who abandoned the beat should be imprinted in people's minds.
"Now the auction begins."
In the next bidding, there were magic weapons used to assist in casting spells, a furnace for refining pills, several pills whose names were not known, and even a rabbit that was said to be a mixed race of the demon clan set off a small climax of the auction.
During the period, the bells from each private room, from which room and how many sounds, Liu Shi stood in place, motionless, but the number reported was always right. Even if someone deliberately used spiritual power to transmit the bell to other places, Liu Shi could also find the person who rang the bell.
Gu Yin watched it with relish, even if he didn't shoot anything today, it would be worth the trip. About an hour later, Wen Tingyan finally removed his head that was leaning on Gu Yin's body and sat down in the chair solemnly.
"Today's finale is a spiritual weapon, with a reserve price of ten medium-grade spirit stones, and it is secretly auctioned." Liu Shi said the first words since the auction began, and then the audience fell silent.
"The so-called secret auction is the opposite of the auction in front, and the quality of the things in front is marked on the booklet, and the person who wants it also has a bottom in his heart. The things that are secretly auctioned mean that the owner cannot identify the quality, so that the buyer can bring his own appraiser to determine the price, of course, this matter is responsible for its own profit and loss. After Wen Tingyan finished speaking, he was not in a hurry to bid, and waited quietly for the first bell to ring.
