The next morning was early in the morning.

I'm a person who can't pretend to be in my heart, although it was already what time in the morning when I arrived at the hotel last night, but I still got up from bed at eight o'clock in the morning, rubbed my eyes, I didn't brush my teeth and wash, but nested in the warm quilt and hugged the back of my head to the ceiling in a daze, four million, I never dreamed that I would have the opportunity to see so much money, for a while, a little cloudy feeling.

When I got up and went to the bathroom to wash, I had just put my toothbrush in my mouth when my phone, which was still next to my pillow, suddenly chirped.

Spit out the toothbrush and throw it into the jar, I went back to the house and picked up the phone to see - it was my mother calling, "...... Hey, Mom. ”

"Still playing with Hangzhou?" Mom's voice was a little displeased: "What are you doing?" Didn't you say you'd be back in a few days? Hurry up, what are the numbers today? School will start in two days, I don't know! ”

The bloodstone hadn't been photographed yet, so I naturally couldn't go back, so I said, "Immediately, I'll be in Yanjing in two days." ”

"Two more days? You're not going back to school to pay your tuition? Looking for a beating, isn't it? ”

"Oh, you don't care, I'm sure I'll go back before that anyway."

After a few perfunctory words, I hung up the phone and continued to go back to the bathroom to brush my teeth, and calculated, the time is indeed a little tight, I'm afraid that I will go to Yanjing as soon as I finish here, and I may be able to catch up with the return to school or the opening ceremony. After washing my face, I shook my head, alas, it doesn't matter, it's important to make money, and let other things go first.

I took out the crumpled check from under the pillow, I pushed it into my arms, opened the door and walked out of the house, turned the corner and walked to the room where Yan Wanru and Lianlian were, and knocked lightly on the door. Knock knock, knock knock, but I didn't get the slightest reply, I knew that they were still sleeping, didn't bother them anymore, went out and walked to the Industrial and Commercial Bank near the square, transferred the check money to the bank card account, exhaled, exhaled, this is the down-to-earth.

According to the time I came back last night, it is estimated that Yan Wanru will not wake up until noon, well, what are you doing in the morning?

Before I could pay attention, I had an early meal on the side of the road and walked to the bouldering pavilion near the square. As soon as I pushed the door and entered the store, I saw Boss Yan and his wife busily greeting the three guests, I nodded to them, but I didn't speak, and casually looked at the bloodstone in the house.

Alas, so beautiful, not ordinary beauty.

I feel that since the moment I came to Lin'an City, I have been hooked on this blood-stained stone, especially the carvings or seals with a large amount of blood and strong blood color that attract me the most.

"Young man, here?" Over there, there was only one guest left, and Boss Yan made time to say, "What about Mr. Yan?" ”

I put down the seal in my hand, turned my head and said, "Sister Yan is sleeping, I went back too late yesterday, but you got up so early." ”

Boss Yan pointed to the store: "No way, it's not common for us to get up early and be greedy for business at night, well, are you here?" ”

"Oh, I just wanted to ask, when is the next auction in Guoshi Village?" Yesterday, Wei Bin and Ryoko had a fight, and I almost forgot the purpose of this trip, and on the way back, I remembered that I hadn't asked the local villagers when the next auction would be.

Boss Yan was stunned and said with a smile: "You made a lot of money this time, I thought you would leave today, well, next time, I don't know this very well, generally the auction in Guoshi Village is once every ten days and half a month, however, there are three days and five days, the key is to look at the situation in the mining area, if there are more chicken blood rough stones on the mountain in the past two days, maybe there will be an auction tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, not necessarily." ”

I sighed, "...... It's going to take so long. ”

Boss Yan smiled: "The day before the auction starts, there will be villagers who post advertisements in the village, like those of us who open shops in Lin'an, and there are also special people who also call, if you and Mr. Yan still want to go, the same way, I will call you to inform you when the time comes, and I can't delay." ”

"Thank you so much."

"You're welcome."

"By the way, if I buy a bloodstone rough stone and don't want to open it on the spot with Guoshi Village, then where is the best place for me to go?"

Boss Yan pondered: "Oh, you don't want so many people to see it, right?" Guoshi Village and Lin'an have processing rooms, specializing in calcing stone grinding and carving, but there will be a certain fee, generally calculated according to the size and weight of the stone, well, but if you want to solve the stone, in fact, you can also come to me, although there is no cabinet type of large cutting machine, but ordinary cutting equipment is available in the studio behind my store, hehe, and you will not be charged. ”

I smiled wryly: "That's embarrassing." ”

"It's a small thing, and it doesn't take much effort to cut a stone."

At this time, I saw two more customers in the store, and I was afraid of delaying their business, so I thanked them and left.

On the way back, I remembered that Lian Lian asked me to buy her a car, and I knew that she was joking, but it was also appropriate to buy her some gifts. From Yanjing to Zhejiang, it was all thanks to Yan Wanru's blessings, oil money, hotel accommodation money, not to mention that she also had a car damaged because of my relationship, so I bought something for her daughter It can be regarded as a disguised exchange of love.

Thinking of this, I nodded slightly and walked to a large department store nearby.

It is worthy of the origin of bloodstone, several counters on the first floor of the commercial building are selling stones, there are chicken blood, there are Tianhuang, and there are more moist pyrophyllite carvings.

I didn't stay, but took the elevator to the area on the third floor to sell clothes, picked and chosen, and specially selected a few more expensive fashion women's clothes, dresses, camisole shirts, caps, according to Lianlian's body shape and figure, I bought two large bags, paid the bill, and I carried the plastic bag downstairs to prepare to go back to the hotel.

“…… Sorry, we don't accept anything in the mall. ”

"Aren't you selling bloodstone? Why not? This is what my old man bought a few years ago, and it's absolutely true. ”

"Auntie, it's not a question of truth or falsehood, it's that the mall doesn't have this business, and it only sells and doesn't collect."

There was a voice next to me, I glanced at it disapprovingly, retracted my gaze, and continued to walk in the direction of the revolving door, but as soon as I took a step, I suddenly braked under my feet, and turned around in amazement, and looked at the saleswoman and the old lady in her sixties and sixties, only to see that the old lady was holding a black box in her hand, covered with a layer of satin gauze, and inside the box, it was actually a square seal, and the blood volume was very sufficient, roughly speaking, it accounted for about 80% of the overall seal, and it was definitely a medium-grade red robe!

The old lady frowned and asked, "Then where should I go?" ”

The salesman thought for a moment and pointed to the square outside: "There is a bloodstone specialty store over there, you can go there and ask, they will definitely accept it." ”

The old lady sighed, wrapped the silk cloth, and walked away with the seal.

I followed without saying a word, waited out of the department store, and paced to the old lady: "Auntie, ask for something." ”

The old lady looked at me and tightened the box a little tighter, "...... What's wrong? ”

I said, "You want to make a move with this seal, right?" I want to buy it, can you let me take a closer look first? "Yan Wanru came to Lin'an and looked for the big red robe all night, but the price is too outrageous, if there is a chance to help her collect one, of course I will not give up.

"You want?" Probably seeing that I was still a student, the old lady was stunned, "...... Do you have any money? ”

I laughed and said, "If you don't have any money, I won't ask you that." ”

The old lady looked me up and down a few times, looked around me left and right, and finally her eyes fell to the row of chairs in the square, and she pointed there and said, "Go and see there." "There are a lot of couples with children walking around the chair, and I think the old lady is afraid that I will rob her things, so it is safer in a crowded place.

I said yes, walked over with her, and helped her sit down slowly.

"Here, see." The old lady did not leave the box, but held it with both hands.

I lifted the silk cloth, tore off the buckle on the box, gently lifted the lid with my fingernails, touched the skin of the bloodstone with my fingers, and looked at it again, well, I can't be wrong, the Changhua chicken blood big red robe is the eight classics, but the blood volume is a little different from what I just saw, the blood volume on one side of the seal is very sufficient, accounting for more than 80 percent, but the blood on the other three sides is slightly worse, overall estimates, this is a big red robe with 75% of the blood volume, the color of chicken blood is very strong, much better than Boss Yan's side, the ground is relatively thin, It's also better than Boss Yan's, well, it's a boutique, a good thing.

"What do you offer?" I was also afraid that someone would see me arguing, so after reading it, I quickly covered the box and let the old lady put it in her arms.

The old lady looked at me unconvinced: "Little classmate, do you really want to buy it?" ”

I said, "yes, then can it be fake?" ”

"Then ......," the old lady thought for a moment, and said, "give a million." ”

I originally saw that the old lady didn't know how to do it, and she had a hint of picking up leaks, but as soon as I heard her price, I knew that she should know a lot about bloodstone, or someone else pointed out the price to her, well, one million belongs to the average price of the market, however, because the big red robe is really rare, this price is not expensive," ...... This chapter is pretty good, how did you think of selling it? ”

"Hey, my eldest grandson is going to get married, no, the price of the house is too high, I can't afford it, and then I thought of the seal that my old man originally bought, and if I sell it, a house will also be lost." Housing prices in Lin'an are obviously much cheaper than in Yanjing.

"Well......" I haggled, "can it be cheaper?" ”

The old lady shook her head resolutely: "The houses are all optimistic, one million, and if there is less, you can't afford it." I don't know if she's telling the truth.

After grinding her for a while, I saw that the old lady said that she wanted to go to the bloodstone shop to ask, so I said, "...... Well, a million is a million, well, you come with me to the bank to transfer money. "This chapter is indeed not expensive, if she had gone elsewhere to ask, I guess this stone would not have been mine.

The old lady smiled knowingly: "Okay." ”

When I got out of the bank, I had an extra black box in my hand, put it in my pocket, and I walked back to the hotel.

In the hallway, I found that the door of Yan Wanru's room was ajar, so I didn't go back to my room, but walked over and knocked on the door.

"Come in, the door is unlocked." Yan Wanru was playing poker with Lianlian on the sofa, and I saw that Sister Yan had two blank notes pasted on her head, and she lost to her daughter. Throwing down an ace of spades, Yan Wan looked at the bag in my hand suspiciously, "...... Hey, I just knocked on the door and no one answered, I thought you were sleeping and went out? ”

I closed the door and said, "Well, go out and buy something." ”

Yan Wanru casually tore off the note on her face: "Don't play, you can watch TV with your brother Jing." ”

Lian Lian didn't do it, and said angrily: "Mom is cheating, I can't afford to lose, oops, you quickly paste the note back and continue to play." After that, he turned his head and beckoned to me: "Brother Jing, why don't you come over and play too, whoever loses will have a sticker, eh?" What do you have in your hand? Didn't you go shopping for clothes? Ahh You're so bad! ”

I smiled bitterly: "I knocked on the door in the morning, and you two are still sleeping, and I didn't hear you." ”

Lian Lian jumped out of bed and ran over with her slippers: "What clothes did you buy for yourself?" Let me see. ”

"Lianlian, don't mess around, can you be honest for a while?" Yan Wanru glared at her.

I smiled and handed her the two bags, "It's okay, let her see it, I bought it for her anyway." ”

Lian Lian exclaimed: "Huh? Bought it for me? ”

Yan Wanru looked at me reproachfully: "Xiaojing, what are you doing here?" Net messy spending. ”

Lian Lian was very happy, grabbed the bag and turned around and jumped on the bed, and with a bang, she took out the clothes from the bag one by one and flattened them onto the sheets, "...... Wow! This is the latest model of the year! Mom! Last time, I saw it once when I went to Beichen with my grandmother! At that time, I wanted to buy it, but my grandmother didn't agree with it, ahhhhhh......hh Wow! And this skirt is a famous brand! It seems like more than a thousand...... Oh! This strap is a big brand, too! ”

I really don't know if it's a brand or not, anyway, I bought it by picking up the most expensive ones in the mall.

Lian Lian waved her fingers and calculated, she was startled, "...... How much do you get for so many clothes? ”

I said, "I don't have a lot of money, you can try it later, see if it fits, if not, I'll change it with them." ”

Yan Wanru sighed and touched her daughter's head: "Thank you Xiaojing yet." ”

Lian Lian smiled, "Thank you, Brother Jing, you are so generous!" ”

Yan Wanru looked at me complainingly: "Don't buy things next time, you're still in school, and it's not easy to earn some money." After a while, seeing Lian Lian lovingly trying on a new hat in the mirror, she said: "You play with Xiaojing, I'll go out to find the big red robe, alas, there has been no shadow for two days, it is estimated that there is no play." ”

I just remembered that I forgot something, "Sister Yan, don't go." ”

Yan Wanru blinked strangely: "What? ”

Feeling out the black box in my pocket, I lifted the silk cloth on it and opened the box, "I bought it for you, do you think this will work?" ”

"Big Red Robe!?" Yan Wanru was stunned, raised her arm and held it in her hand, and looked at it repeatedly: "How come?" I've been looking for it for so long and I haven't been willing to make a move, where did you get it? ”

Lian Lian also looked over blankly: "I'm a good girl, big red robe?" ”

I said: "It's a coincidence, when I was buying clothes for Lianlian, I saw an aunt in the department store holding a seal to sell, and the salesperson didn't accept it, so I asked the price, and the price was quite appropriate, so I bought it, well, do you think this chapter is okay?" ”

Yan Wanru took a breath, "It's not just okay, whether it's blood volume or land, it's close to the top-grade red robe, I don't know how many times better than Boss Yan's light-colored blood seal, the blood is also beautiful, and it's higher and wider than the general seal, well, good, it's really good, we have been with Lin'an for so long, and this seal is the best." ”

"Hehe, you can like it, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy it with you."

"To tell you the truth, I didn't expect to buy such a good seal before I came, I would be content to have Boss Yan's side, Xiaojing, thank you, by the way, how much did you buy it?" Yan Wanru raised her head and stared into my eyes: "...... One hundred and two? One hundred and thirteen? One hundred and fifteen? ”

"Well, not that much, just a million."

Yan Wanru was stunned: "...... It can't be that cheap, right? Only a million? ”

I nodded and said, "That aunt seems to be in a hurry to ask for money to buy a house, and besides, this is a private transaction, and there is no shop rent, no utility bills, no taxes, so it is naturally much cheaper than the bloodstone store." "Once, we saw a big red robe seal of similar quality in a store in Lin'an, and the other shopkeeper opened his mouth and asked for 1.5 million yuan.

Yan Wanru was not very convinced: "It's really a million? Don't you fool your sister Yan? ”

I smiled helplessly: "It's true." ”

Yan Wanru smiled: "The main thing is that you are too polite, do you remember the paperweight last time, sell me cheaply, hehe, now it can make me scared, let's go to the bank first and forget the money, well, I will give you 1.1 million, this thing is worth this price." ”

My face was flat: "Sister Yan, are you cold to me?" ”

"Hehe, I'm not afraid that you will add money yourself?"

"Khan, it's really a million, no more, no less, why am I lying to you?"

"Okay, don't say it, I owe you a favor anyway."

After that, Yan Wanru took the car keys and wanted to go to the bank with me to transfer money, but I said I was not in a hurry, but she didn't do it, so she had to pull me out of the hotel. After finishing the transfer from the bank, Yan Wanru's mobile phone rang.

“…… Feed...... Oh, Boss Yan, is there something wrong...... Is it...... So fast? Well...... Wait a minute, I'll call Xiaojing for you to listen to the phone......" Yan Wanru handed the phone in front of my eyes: "Bouldering Pavilion Boss Yan's." ”

I took the phone and put it to my ear: "Boss Yan, you say." ”

"Young man, I just received a notice that two large pieces of bloodstone have been dug up from Mine 14 and Mine 22."

"Just dug up?"

"That's not, it was blown up a few months ago, but it takes a little bit of mining and separation, which is more labor-intensive, so it took so long, well, although the two stones are not as heavy as before, but they are nearly 100 catties, and they can reach the foot of Yuyan Mountain at night, so a few locals discussed with the mine owners, and they planned to take advantage of the fact that the big bosses in the south and north did not leave, and quickly auctioned it."

My eyes moved: "...... When? ”

"Tonight at half past seven, old time, old place."

"Okay, I see, I'll go in the evening, thank you."

I thought I'd have to wait a few days!

It's this auction!

Here it comes!

It's finally here!!
