Chapter 54: Garnet hairpins
As Baozhu walked onto the table with her plate in her hand, all eyes in the hall turned to her and the tray in her hand.
"Huh, I didn't expect this guy from the auction house to be a beauty too!" Walking into the hall from the orb, his gaze jumped from Wang Yao'er to the orb, and when the orb got closer and closer, he exclaimed regardless of the occasion.
"Second brother, self-respect!" Long Xiaotian, who had been sitting beside him, finally couldn't help but scold him in a low voice. Long Aotian didn't think much of Long Xiaotian's scolding, but he suddenly felt the temperature around him plummet, and he couldn't help but shudder, looking around, but he didn't see anything wrong, but he didn't dare to make another time, and obediently shut up.
When Lu Yunchu walked into the scene with Baozhu, he was also amazed by her. He had always known that her girl was beautiful, and he even noticed that his girl had been hiding herself in a low-key manner, but today, on such an occasion, when his girl approached him with a plate in her hand, he felt that she was as beautiful as a fairy holding a peach in the Yao Pond.
It's just that on such an occasion, so many girls who look at him like tigers and wolves make him very unhappy. Especially the words and demeanor of Long Aotian made him a little angry.
"The first item sold today is a hairpin made of a thousand-year-old garnet. The announcement of the shopkeeper broke the silence on the field. All the guests followed this sentence and turned their eyes to the tray in Baozhu's hand.
At the suggestion of the shopkeeper, the jewel held the bottom of the plate with one hand, and lifted the red silk on the plate with the other hand.
"Wow!" the moment the red silk was lifted, there was an uproar in the hall.
I saw that in the plate, there was a smooth and transparent Ruyi hairpin lying down, and the whole hairpin body flowed with purple brilliance.
Although Baozhu doesn't use jewelry, he can't help but sigh when he looks at the hairpin on the plate: "It's so beautiful!"
"Daddy, my daughter wants that hairpin!" Wang Yao'er couldn't sit still the moment she saw the hairpin, and couldn't wait to pull Wang Youcai's sleeves and coquettishly.
"Don't worry, don't worry!" Wang Youcai patted his daughter's hand with relief, looking determined to win.
Seeing the reaction of the guests, the shopkeeper raised his hands and pressed them in the air, signaling the guests to be quiet, and at the same time cleared his throat and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this hairpin is made of the best garnet for thousands of years, and ordinary people wear it for a long time to strengthen the body, and cultivators wear it to help improve mana. The starting price of this hairpin auction is 500 mats in fiat currency. ”
"Daddy......" Wang Yao'er looked at the hairpin with a blank eye, and pulled Wang Youcai again.
"Six hundred coins!" Wang Youcai was the first to bid.
"Seven hundred coins. "There were other guests who followed suit.
"Miss Yao'er, if you like that hairpin, I'll take a picture of it!" Long Aotian leaned over, squinted his eyes and looked flattering, and then shouted: "One thousand coins!"
"You ......" Wang Youcai and Wang Yao'er glared at Long Aotian, the price raiser, dissatisfied.
But Long Aotian wanted to please Wang Yao'er, but he didn't notice the dissatisfaction of the two people around him.
"Second brother, this hairpin is not your and my goal this time!" Long Xiaotian was a little anxious in the other one, and reminded Long Aotian in a suppressed voice. Who knew that Long Aotian didn't take his eldest brother's words seriously at all, and snorted coldly at Long Xiaotian and ignored them.
With Long Aotian's price increase, some of the original bidders knew that it was difficult and retreated.
"1,200 coins!" Wang Youcai directly increased the price increase, wanting Long Aotian to retreat.
And Long Aotian just wanted to show himself in front of Wang Yao'er at the moment: "Fifteen hundred coins!"
Gradually, other guests who had previously followed the price stopped bidding.
"Two thousand coins!" Wang Youcai stared at him.
Long Aotian originally wanted to please the beauties, but when he saw Wang Youcai's unappreciative look, he was also anxious at the moment: "Three thousand coins!"
Wang Youcai was very angry, this hairy boy who ran out of Half Moon Valley didn't know the height of the sky at all, and he was richer than him in the territory of Luohua City, could he compare? This kid said that he would take a picture of the hairpin and give it to his daughter, who knows if he was cheating? Moreover, he, Wang Youcai, the richest person in Luohua City except for the city lord, how could he need someone else to give his daughter something, wouldn't that be a loss of face?
"Five thousand coins!" Wang Youcai directly increased the price by two thousand.
Baozhu held the plate and looked at the excitement below, secretly speaking, this Wang Youcai is really rich, according to the price of the Marfa continent, this 5,000 yuan is enough for the living expenses of ordinary people for three or five years.
At this moment, the other guests in the hall were silent, but Long Xiaotian couldn't sit still, and whispered to Long Aotian: "Second brother, if you continue to mess around like this, I'm afraid that the silver ticket you and I brought out will not be enough to shoot the Dragon Slaying Treasure Knife!"
This sentence woke up Long Aotian at once. This time, they came to Luohua City because they were ordered by their father to bid for the Dragon Slaying Knife. Although the Dragon Slayer Knife was not the highest level magic weapon of the Martial Arts, there were few of them in the entire Marfa Continent. As the birthplace of martial arts, Half Moon Valley naturally has to include these high-level magic weapons in order to establish a stronger prestige in the Marfa Continent.
Before leaving, Dragon Blood had told him that the auction for the Dragon Slaying Treasure Knife could only be won and not defeated. If he ruined his father's major affairs at this time in order to curry favor with Wang Yao'er, I am afraid it would affect his father's decision to finally let him inherit Half Moon Valley.
Thinking of this, Long Aotian looked at Wang Yao'er again, this person is beautiful, but he has never lacked such beauties. That's it!
Wang Youcai saw that Long Aotian didn't talk to him anymore, and he breathed a sigh of relief. If he continues to call for it, he is really reluctant to spend more money on this hairpin.
Shopkeeper Yu looked around and asked, "The king went out to bid 5,000 yuan, are there any other bidders......?"
Before he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting, "Eight thousand coins!"
Suddenly, the hall boiled. Baozhu was also taken aback when he heard this bidding, and looked at the sound, but saw a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes sitting on the seat in the second row. looked at the face, but the dress was like a rich businessman.
When Wang Youcai heard this call, he sweated profusely. The other party has not participated in the bidding until this moment, and it is a kind of imperative. And looking at the other party's clothes, you can know that this person is either rich or expensive, and his net worth is definitely not below him.
Wang Yao'er saw that Wang Youcai was not moving, and shouted anxiously on the side: "Daddy......" Looking at her daughter's appearance, Wang Youcai hesitated, and finally gritted her teeth: "Ten thousand yuan!"
"Fifteen thousand coins!" The man's offer followed closely as Wang Youcai's words fell, firm and persistent.
Wang Youcai felt that he was completely defeated. In the past, the best garnet rough on the market was not auctioned for more than 5,000 yuan, but now this small garnet hairpin has been auctioned for three times the price of the rough.
"Yao'er, go back and Daddy will make you a hairpin that is more delicate than this. Wang Yao'er heard the semantics of Wang Youcai's compromise and abandonment, snorted in disappointment, and turned around angrily and ignored him.
