Chapter 28, the Clan Meeting Begins (Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection)
"Shopkeeper, wrap this calligraphy and painting for me!"
Chu Ming turned his head, and the person who spoke was a fat man, with a rich face, luxuriously dressed and exaggerated, and wearing rings on his ten fingers, looking like a newly developed nouveau riche rich businessman, looking very impatient.
Chu Ming looked at the calligraphy and painting in his hand with his eyes, it was just an ordinary calligraphy and painting, and the signature on it was a painting of five hundred years ago, but Chu Ming saw that most of the calligraphy and painting were fakes, and the pen and ink on it were condensed but not gathered, obviously it didn't take long to paint, however, Chu Ming didn't say anything to warn, otherwise, it would not only disrupt Yi Baoge's business, but also break the rules of this antique street.
Refocusing his attention on the antiques he was going to choose, Chu Ming couldn't help but lack interest, although there were many antiques, none of them could enter his eyes.
Just as he wanted to turn around and call Chu Qiwen to leave, his body couldn't help but pause, and his eyes were on an earthy yellow palm-sized animal skin not far away, just when he passed by the animal skin just now, Chu Ming obviously felt that the white mysterious light in his body vibrated slightly.
Pretending to be very interested, Chu Ming came back to the front of the earthy yellow animal skin, and suddenly, the white light on his chest vibrated slightly, Chu Ming's eyes froze, and he gently picked up the animal skin, and the frequency of the white light film vibrating was constantly accelerating.
call
Chu Ming took a deep breath, the white light has always been very mysterious, although he doesn't know where he came from, but the power is undoubted, approaching the animal skin has a reaction, indicating that this animal skin must be an extraordinary thing, and he kept thinking in his heart.
"Shopkeeper, how much does this hide cost?" Chu Ming took the animal skin and asked softly to the shopkeeper not far away, deciding in his heart that no matter what, he would also buy this palm-sized animal skin.
When the shopkeeper heard Chu Ming's question, he immediately walked over with a smile on his face, and when he saw clearly what Ming was holding, he said slowly: "Fifty thousand taels of silver, no two prices!" ”
Chu Ming was shocked in his heart, all the items in Yi Bao Pavilion could not be bargained, whether it was a profit or a loss, it all depended on personal luck, although 50,000 taels of silver was much, but with Chu Ming's net worth, it was not unacceptable, with the reaction of the white light, if he didn't buy it, he would definitely regret it.
Taking out the silver ticket without moving and handing it to the shopkeeper, Chu Qiwen put down the vase, walked over with a puzzled face and asked, "Chu Ming, what are you buying the broken animal skins for?" ”
"Suddenly on a whim, I want to study it," Chu Ming said with a faint smile, Chu Qiwen would not believe this, but no matter how he looked at it, he didn't find any difference in the earthy yellow animal skin, so he had no choice but to give up.
Although the shopkeeper next to him smiled, he was extremely disdainful of Chu Ming's words in his heart, the things that were placed here had already been identified by the appraisal masters of Yi Bao Pavilion before, and the valuable things had already been put away and put outside, just some waste.
In the end, Chu Qiwen also chose a vase and a calligraphy and painting, and spent 80,000 taels of silver, so it seems that Yi Baoge's profit in a year is simply an astronomical amount, after all, the purchase price of some antiquities may only be a dozen taels of silver.
When the two of them walked out of Yi Bao Pavilion, it was already noon.
"Chu Ming, let's go to Chaofeng Tower for dinner, I'll have a treat!" Chu Qiwen had a storage ring, which was given to him by his master, and his paintings and vases had already been put inside.
Chaofeng Tower is the largest restaurant in Great Yan City, and the last time Chu Ming went there was a year ago, he immediately nodded and agreed.
A quarter of an hour later. The two came to Chaofeng Tower, and under the leadership of Xiao Er, they walked to the second floor.
"Two masters, do you want a private room, or do you want to eat directly in the lobby?" Xiao Er asked respectfully.
"It's in the lobby!" Chu Ming said.
"Okay, there's a table by the window over there, two of you, please." Xiao Er first lowered his arm, and then ran over quickly and wiped the table with the towel on his shoulder.
Sitting down, Chu Qiwen looked at the street outside and said: "It seems that it is still familiar with Great Yan City, you don't know, my master and I are walking in the Tianxing Domain, today in this small city, the next day will go to an unknown town thousands of miles away, sometimes it is unlucky, and when it comes to a place where there is no human population, in that case, you can only sleep in the open air." ”
"No danger?" Chu Ming asked.
"Of course, we were chased and killed by seventh-level demonic beasts in the Black Wind Forest, that time, our master and apprentice almost died, and we were also surrounded and suppressed by the masters of the demon dao organization, and what is even more thrilling is that we encountered a third-level demon, tsk, but in the end, the two of us escaped smoothly."
Recalling the past, Chu Qiwen still has palpitations.
Chu Ming has some admiration for Chu Qiwen, the other party is obviously a prodigal son-like character, of course, his master is too, no wonder the two will become masters and apprentices.
When the meal came, the two asked for a pot of wine, and they ate it with taste, and after they were full of wine and food, Chu Qiwen settled the meal money, and the two went back to Chu's house together.
As soon as Chu Qiwen said it, Chu Ming's heart also wanted to go to the Tianxing Domain to make a fuss, but now there is no way to realize this idea, he has not reached the True Dao Realm, and in the Tianxing Domain, he does not even have the power to protect himself.
Back in his room, Chu Ming took out the earthy yellow animal skin, but no matter how he observed, he didn't find anything strange in this animal skin, but he could barely see that this was a broken map, and the broken place was still very large, otherwise, Yi Baoge would not have taken out this animal skin.
In desperation, Chu Ming could only put away the animal skin first, and wait until his strength became stronger in the future.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the day of the clan.
Early morning.
On the square of the Chu family's courtyard, there are many children of the Chu family, although the Chu family is only a family, but the children of the family alone, there are five or six hundred people, plus deacons and guards, etc., it is enough to be comparable to a small sect.
At this moment, the children of the Chu family are basically standing here quietly, and Chu Ming is standing at the back of these children, looking very inconspicuous.
Soon, Chu He, the elders of the Chu family, and the elders of the older generation all walked over, and when they passed by the many children of the Chu family in the central crowd, Chu He paused slightly, and looked at the many children of the Chu family with a majestic expression.
Under the leadership of the deacon of the Chu family, the warriors with extraordinary breath and strong steps walked into the courtyard of the Chu family one after another.
"Hahaha, Brother Chu, it's really gratifying, your children of the Chu family are better than the blue!"
A middle-aged man laughed loudly and strode towards the Chu River, this middle-aged man, the breath on his body is also very rich, and his cultivation is not inferior to the Chu River.
Chu He laughed loudly and said, "The fourth prince has won the prize, please inside!" ”
All the warriors who were dressed in extraordinary clothes and had a powerful aura sat down in their respective positions under the arrangement of the deacon.
It didn't take long for the VIP seats around the Chu family square to be filled with representatives of the major forces, leaders, and other three families also came, the Yang family and the Zhang family were the heads of their own families, and the Bai family was just the eldest elder in the family who came alone, and the meaning of snubbing was very strong, but Chu He was worthy of being the head of the family for so many years, even if he was angry, he was still lived by him.
As these people sat down, the head of the family, Chu He, the great elder Chu Ziping, and others also sat down in the first place.
Seeing this, an elder from the early stage of the True Path walked to the center of the square, paused, and said loudly, "Please come and draw lots from all the children who are participating in the clan meeting!" ”
When he spoke, he used his spiritual power, so for these family members, the sound seemed to ring in their ears.
The requirement of the clan meeting is that the children of the Chu family under the age of eighteen can participate, so as soon as his words fell, a group of young people from the Chu family came out, and the clan meeting was conducted in the form of a lottery, and whoever was drawn would be opponents of each other in this one.
Chu Ming took a look at the sign in his hand, his opponent in the first game was Chu Li, his talent in the family was considered to be superior, and his cultivation was triple in the mortal realm, if Chu Ming met him before, where was there any need to compete.
"The waste has become a normal person, but unfortunately it still can't pass the first one!" Chu Ziping glanced at Chu Ming, and said lightly to the person next to him, with great disdain in his words.
Hearing this, Chu He's face immediately changed, and he said to Chu Ziping with anger on his face: "Please be respectful when you speak!" "Although Chu Ziping is not the head of the Chu family, his status in the Chu family is not lower than that of Chu He, because he is the inner elder of the Burning Fire Valley, and he has a very large voice in the Burning Fire Valley.
"Today is the clan meeting of the Chu family, don't let others see the jokes of the Chu family, Brother Ziping, I'll invite you to have a drink in a few days!" Seeing that the two of them had a quarrel, the fourth prince immediately started to make peace, and said to Chu Ziping with a smile on his face.
"The fourth prince, please drink, where is the reason not to go." Chu Ziping didn't want to quarrel with Chu He, and when he saw that the fourth prince gave him a step, he immediately said.
It was Chu Ming's turn to play, Chu Li was dressed in black, holding a big knife in his hand, looking quite capable, and with a sharp aura on his body.
"How many moves do you think Chu Ming can last?"
"I can't hold up even one move, maybe I'll be frightened by Chu Li's momentum just after I get on the field!"
"Hehe, there's a good show to watch now!"
The children of the Chu family in the audience couldn't help but laugh when they saw Chu Ming's figure.
