CHAPTER XVI
Can't get enough of it?
"Where?"
The proprietress smiled thoughtfully: "Go out and go straight to the end, just turn left." β
"Oh, lady, where's my room?" Gu Shengge shook the sign with a tired look.
The proprietress was stunned for half a second, then quickly came back to her senses and said with a smile: "Childe is really interesting, the room is on the second floor and the third room turns left." β
After that, his eyes rolled and he smiled: "Do you need me to lead the way for Childe?" β
"Thank you, I'll go myself."
Gu Shengge turned around and walked towards the stairs, the stairs made of mahogany, the beautiful totems carved on the fence, the dull sound of stepping on it, echoed low in this empty inn, I don't know why, Gu Shengge always felt that there was a dull atmosphere around this inn, which made people a little uncomfortable.
"By the way, there is one more thing to tell Childe." The proprietress suddenly spoke, Gu Shengge walked halfway, stopped and turned around, and looked at the proprietress suspiciously.
"Don't go out and walk around at night, and don't care about anything you hear."
Gu Shengge frowned, and was about to speak, but the proprietress said again: "Curiosity will kill the cat." β
After listening, Gu Shengge nodded, turned around and went up to the second floor, pushed open the door, it was a very large room, the room was neat, the round table was all fine sandalwood, and the tassel in the middle was opened, it was a large bed, brocade cloud pillow, and tulle curtain.
Gu Shengge turned around, locked the door, returned to the round table and sat down, poured a cup of tea, and thought of the mouthpiece of the lady in Fangcai, and gently rubbed the mouth of the cup with her fingers, round and round.
Not curious?
How can you not be curious!
Gu Shengge decisively put down the teacup, placed the paintings and wine, opened the window and jumped, hid himself in the dark night, walked quickly and silently on the eaves, and quietly came to the carnival place of the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce.
Larceau
Luxurious style, majestic appearance, and a layer of gold plating on the walls when you get closer. Gu Shengge entered the Pavilion slowly, and his eyes were full of people, and at this time, a man in a blue corset walked over.
"Childe, do you want to bid or watch?"
It turned out to be a little guy in the Pavilion, Gu Shengge thought for a while, "Bidding." β
"This is the audience stage, Childe, please come with me" The little man in blue raised his hand respectfully and motioned for Gu Shengge to go this way.
Gu Shengge raised his feet and followed, walked to a door, and the little guy triggered the button of the dark grid, and the door opened.
Stepping inside, the further up you go, the fewer people there are, and even the lights become warmer and brighter.
Turning a corner, there is a long corridor, covered with thick Persian carpets, and a faint fragrance fills the air, echoing with the orange lights, creating a mysterious atmosphere.
After walking for a while, the little maid stood still in a private room, gently pushed open the rosewood door, and it was a small room, with tables, chairs, benches, and fragrant tea chairs.
Inside, there is a small stand. There was a hundred-year-old Taishi chair made of rosewood, next to it was also a small round table carved from rosewood, on the table was a celadon tea set, and a small golden incense burner was burning the same incense as on the corridor, in addition to these, there was a small bell on the table, and a thread hung on the bell.
Gu Shengge walked to the stands and glanced at it, looking down at the crowded auction hall, and looking around, there were countless identical stands of all sizes.
The little servant put a book on the small round table and said, "Childe, this is the item for today's auction, and the process list." β
Gu Shengge walked over, picked up the book, and glanced at it, most of the items in the auction had heard of it, Gu Shengge glanced at the process list again, swept all the way down, and suddenly stopped when he saw the end, this last column...
"Blind shooting?"
"Childe, the last process of this auction is a classic program of our Jar Pavilion, and we will launch unique items for sale at that time, but until then, it will be absolutely confidential."
After speaking, he pointed to the bell on the table, "If there is an item that Childe likes during the auction process, just pull the line on the bell, and the people below will hear it, and Childe doesn't have to worry." β
"Bottom? With so many stands, you can tell exactly which room it is? β
"Yes, exactly."
Now Gu Shengge wanted to gasp a little, she just walked all the way, there were at least hundreds of rooms, and stood in the stands of the room and looked around, and found that it was surrounded by stands on all sides, and it was incredible to be able to clearly distinguish the direction just by listening to the bell.
"Does Childe have other needs?" The little guy asked respectfully.
"None"
After listening to this, the little servant poured a cup of tea and then retreated to the back and stood quietly.
Gu Shengge sat on the Taishi chair, picked up the teacup, and tasted it, it was a good Longjing.
Suddenly, a few low drums sounded from the auction room below, and it seemed to begin.
At this time, a red-clothed guy walked out and shouted in a loud voice: "The auction begins." β
The first one was a very strange medicinal herb, which was brought up by the two girls in red, and with the voice of the little girl: "Begin." Gu Shengge heard the bells ringing in all directions, and the blue guy standing in the corner below quickly and accurately pointed out the direction every time the bell rang, and Gu Shengge's eyes widened.
In the end, it was photographed by the people in the No. 10 private room for 1,000 taels, the red-clothed maid waved his hand, and the two red-clothed women carried the medicinal herbs off the field, followed by the second one.
Gu Shengge drank tea leisurely, watching quietly, without the slightest intention of bidding, what she was really interested in was the final blind auction, the auction item without clues, exuding a fatal charm, attracting people who came and went, desperate to get a glimpse.
The bells were still ringing, eager and passionate. Every sound sounded almost at the same time, and the price was going up like crazy, and how many people here went crazy and couldn't stop.
Finally, after Gu Shengge drank a pot of tea, the auction ended. The little guy who had been standing quietly behind him silently stepped forward to add tea, without saying a word.
There was another group of people in the auction hall below, the lights became more dazzling, the mysterious atmosphere in the air became heavier and heavier, and people's desires were all outlined.
The blind shot began.
The red-clothed guy on the stage spoke again: "Next, it's the last program of this auction, blind auction." β
At this time, Gu Shengge's sharp eyes found that one of the stands was lit with a fire, Gu Shengge looked at the little guy behind him suspiciously, and the little guy immediately stepped forward.
"This is the Holy Flame, lighting a handful, it means that the first auction item has been booked by the person who lit the Holy Flame, and no matter how high the price is in the end, the person who lit the Holy Flame will pay for it."
"How many lots does it mean to contract a few auction items?"
"Yes"
"What if there are many people lighting the flame for the same auction item?"
"The one with the highest price wins."
Just when Gu Shengge and the little guy were talking, the first auction item was pushed onto the stage, Gu Shengge turned his head and looked, gasped, and instantly the whole person was stunned, his eyes stared at the auction item on the stage, and he didn't move away for a long time.
