Chapter 60: Immortals are drunk
The location of the auction was placed in the south building on the fourth floor, which had been planned early in the morning, and the south building had been closed to the public since it was built, and it was not open to the public until this time.
For the completion of the South Building, Zhao Chen's original idea was to build a luxury building, but at this stage, it was a little taken for granted.
The south building is also divided into two floors, but because of the needs of the auction, a booth was temporarily installed on the first floor, and the location of this booth happened to be in the sight of everyone on the first and second floors.
The time of the auction was set at night, and when the street drums on Chang'an Street began to sound, there was already a lot of traffic in front of the door on the fourth floor, and people who received auction invitations began to appear in an endless stream.
Representatives of various families and envoys, as well as wealthy businessmen in Chang'an, were invited. Hu Lu, dressed in a home swallow suit, with a smile like a lucky boy on his face, stood at the door of the South Building early to welcome visitors from all directions.
In this auction, Hu Lu has full authority to come forward, even if people all over the world know that the person behind Hu Lu is Zhao Chen, and Zhao Chen can't show his head.
There is a small table next to each chair, and when all the people holding the post sit down one after another, there are immediately young men with sharp legs and feet, holding fragrant tea and desserts, and placing them on each table in turn.
It is very diligent, as if everyone here has a deep understanding of the treatment of God's customers!
But at this moment, in the south building, it is brilliantly lit, a candlestick made of brass, along the wall, every other zhang, there will be a candlestick, on the three ends. Candles the size of children's arms were inserted in each other, and the flames were rising. The entire south building is illuminated brightly, as bright as day.
Plus a rhythm that wafts from nowhere. Ding Ding Dong, the whole South Building, giving people the feeling of luxury, wealth!
The first floor of the south building is occupied by representatives of the Maison and members of the diplomatic corps, while the second floor of the south building is a private platform and is not open to the public. Tables and chairs are also arranged above, and there is no shortage of melons and fruit snacks, which is even more extravagant than below.
Entertainment in this era is really scarce, and even some nightlife belongs to men's games.
Therefore, it is rare to encounter such a lively opportunity, Zhao Chen simply opened up the second floor separately. The daughters of Qin Cheng's two families were invited.
At this time, the daughters of Qin Cheng's two families, as well as Qin Cheng's two veterans and Li Chengqian, were all on the second floor. While munching on the melon seeds on the table, he watched the bustle below.
"Boy, make such a big scene. Don't let me lose money! Cheng Yanjin and Lao Qin sat side by side, looking at the luxurious scene in the south building. While plucking his ears, he said casually.
"Say this. There's no shame in that! Lao Qin on the side, when he heard Cheng Biting Jin's words, he didn't wait for Zhao Chen to speak, and said slowly: "I don't want to think about it, where did you get that thing?" ”
"Don't worry, Uncle Cheng!" Zhao Chen sat a little behind Lao Qin, next to Qin Yuyan, feeling the shyness of the girl next to him, stretched his neck to look at Cheng Yanjin, and said with a smile: "If we don't make him a lot of money tonight, we won't be finished!" ”
"Tsk, I like to hear this kind of talk!" When Cheng Yanjin heard Zhao Chen's words, he glared at Lao Qin as if demonstrating, and immediately laughed unscrupulously.
As soon as the loud voice like a broken gong came out, it immediately provoked a large group of people downstairs, who raised their heads curiously and looked at the second floor.
However, at this moment, the south building suddenly fell into a large darkness, and the candles on the candlesticks were extinguished at this moment.
"What's wrong?" suddenly fell into darkness, which made everyone present stunned, and Cheng Yanjin asked in a loud voice in the dark.
"It's okay Uncle Cheng!" Zhao Chen sat there steadily, and said to Cheng Yanjin with a smile. At the same time, it is also to tell everyone around you that this is just a means.
Hearing Zhao Chen's words, everyone around him couldn't help but let go of their hearts. However, there was one person's heart that was beating wildly at this time.
This person was none other than Qin Yuyan, who was sitting next to Zhao Chen, because, at the moment when the entire building was plunged into darkness just now, one of her hands was quickly held in Zhao Chen's hand.
It's not easy to fall in love!
Zhao Chen was holding Qin Yuyan's soft little hand at the moment, and his heart was excited for a moment, it was obviously a matter of mutual affection, but it was like a heavenly river between them, in order to be able to hold Yuyanmei's little hand, was it easy for him?
Qin Yuyan silently tried her best to break free of Zhao Chen's palm, but unfortunately, the more she struggled, the tighter Zhao Chen's grip became, and she didn't dare to be too obvious, there was still her father and mother sitting next to her, Qin Yuyan bit her red lip hard, and had to acquiesce to one of her hands being held by Zhao Chen.
This disciple! Qin Yuyan said fiercely in her heart!
The south building fell into darkness, in fact, it was a matter of an instant, and before the people could react, suddenly there was a fire on the stand in front of them.
There were more than a dozen candlesticks, all of which were lit, and suddenly the booth was as bright as day, attracting the attention of the entire building.
And at the moment when the firelight was lit, Hu Lu, who was dressed in a furniture swallow suit, boarded the booth with a smile on his face, and made a group of gestures upstairs and downstairs.
After a lot of kind words, the auction officially begins!
The first thing that appeared was the coral, the coral that was more than one person high, was carefully carried to the booth by a few young men, and under the background of the lights, the coral was beautifully reflected.
"Rare coral in the South Sea, rare to see in a hundred years, the price starts at 500 guan, and the price increases by 100 guan each time, start now!"
Things are placed in front of you, and you don't need to deliberately use flowery language to support them, which will look pale. Hu Lu simply quoted a reserve price, and then explained the rules, then stood aside and let the people below bid.
The exhibition of coral did not cause a commotion among a few envoys, and this thing was useless to them, even if Goguryeo was interested in a few envoys from Silla, but thinking about the long distance, they also lost their minds about fighting.
Only the people of the family!
With that, the first coral was auctioned off at a price of 800 guan. The corals that appear behind begin to get higher and higher. When the last coral appears, the people of the family. Finally, at a price of 1,600 yuan, the coral came to a successful end.
Cheng Yanjin was already completely stupid, seeing that the coral was so valuable, if he wasn't afraid that his wife would be angry, he would want to bring the few plants at home immediately.
After the coral, it's the mahogany!
After this period of rendering, the value of mahogany has been turned upside down, and Zhao Chen did not plan to sell mahogany directly. Instead, let He San and others sit on the mahogany as furniture!
Mahogany beds, mahogany flower stands, screens, tables and chairs, a total of 15 sets of mahogany furniture, the auction is naturally priced at one set!
"Nanyang Island, good mahogany, through the hands of the Gongyi family, carved carefully, a set of sets, starting at 10,000 yuan. A thousand more per increase! ”
is still a simple introduction, the difference is that He San and others are in Hu Lu's mouth. Immediately turned into a public loser. The value of mahogany is already high, and it is a huge gimmick of being a public loser. 10,000 is really not too much.
Mahogany furniture. It's still the families who make a move, compared to the corals of the square. Obviously, the appearance of mahogany is the beginning of the real fight.
The reserve price of 10,000 yuan has been doubled in less than a moment, and the price continues to rise!
"Boy, why is there only one set?" The bidding below has reached a fever pitch, Cheng Yanjin was infected by the atmosphere below, and suddenly turned his head to look at Zhao Chen and asked. He remembered that Zhao Chen had said that he had already made fifteen sets.
However, Cheng Biting Jin's sudden turn didn't matter at all, he didn't let Zhao Chen and Qin Yuyan behind him react, and the two of them were still holding hands, looking down!
"You can't take this out all at once!" Zhao Chen was also infected by the following scene, completely forgotten, still holding Qin Yuyan's small hand in his hand, after hearing Cheng Yanjin's words, he also explained seriously: "As the saying goes, rare things are expensive!" ”
It's just that after saying this, he suddenly found that Cheng Yanjin's eyes were still looking at him a little strangely, more precisely, at his side.
His eyes followed Cheng Yanjin's gaze, and he looked down curiously, and then saw that his hands and Qin Yuyan's hands were tightly clasped together at the moment.
Qin Yuyan beside him probably forgot about holding hands, seeing Zhao Chen and Cheng Biting Jin, they looked at their sides at the same time, thinking that something was wrong with their sides, and then, when they lowered their heads, they saw that they were still holding hands with Zhao Chen, and their pretty faces instantly flew into their cheeks.
The next moment, Zhao Chen didn't have time to react at all, and a small hand that he had finally held was withdrawn with a 'swoop'.
Zhao Chen, who was depressed, raised his head and glared at Cheng Yanjin viciously, Cheng Yanjin saw Zhao Chen's 'vicious' eyes, shrugged his shoulders innocently, showed an expression of what he cared about me, and turned around slowly.
Hand in hand failed!
Qin Yuyan was even more afraid that Zhao Chen's old trick would be repeated, holding both hands tightly in his arms, with a posture of resolutely not letting Zhao Chen get involved again, Zhao Chen was so depressed that he reverberated in his mind, but unfortunately it was not your melody!
A set of mahogany furniture finally came to a successful end at a high price of 24,000 yuan!
"The immortals are drunk, the immortals brew by themselves, there is only one bottle in the world, the reserve price is 15,000 yuan, and the price is increased by 1,000 yuan each time!"
As soon as the curtain came down on the mahogany, a beautiful woman in a long skirt carried a tray covered with red silk cloth and walked up to the booth.
Later, the red silk was removed, revealing a blue bottle underneath, beautifully carved and glowing softly against the light of the booth.
Immortals drunk! Immortal brewing?
As soon as Hu Lu's words came out, a large commotion was suddenly caused below, and the identity of Zhao Chen's immortal disciple was no secret for a long time, at this moment, when I heard Hu Lu say that it was brewed by the immortals himself, the suspicion was not a suspicion, but it was shocking!
