Chapter 25: The Goddess of Commerce
As soon as he arrived at Jubao Zhai, Guan Yue's attention was absorbed by Jubao Zhai, and he didn't entangle Zhong Hui anymore, which really made Zhong Hui and Han Duan feel relieved.
As soon as the three of them entered Jubaozhai, the attendant greeted him, and he recognized Zhong Hui as he had resisted another distinguished guest that day.
"Hello, three distinguished guests, how can I help you?"
Han Duan took out an invitation letter from his bosom and handed it to the attendant. As soon as he saw the invitation, the attendant directly took the three of them to the fourth floor of Jubaozhai.
At the door of the fourth floor, there is a special person to check the invitation, and the invitation letter taken out by Han Duan is purple, which is very beautiful. Then everyone came to the high platform on the fourth floor, led by a waitress, and the tables and chairs on the high platform were all leather, very soft, and the tables were placed with delicious delicacies, and the configuration was very luxurious.
From here, you can see the entire auction room in the palm of your hand.
Zhong Hui saw that the entire hall on the fourth floor used to be filled with many people, and from time to time someone sat in the hall under the leadership of the attendants. However, what made Zhong Hui a little puzzled was that he saw a lot of black-robed people in shade at the auction house, and he seemed to have seen them in a certain center, but he couldn't remember them. However, he didn't pay attention to it, after all, there were a lot of people in black robes, and it was estimated to avoid others from recognizing him, so as not to know the identity of the auctioneer.
While Zhong Hui was carefully looking at the people participating in the auction below, two more groups of people were brought in by the waiters on this luxurious table. When Zhong Hui was wondering who these two groups of people were, the cold voice sounded in his ears.
"Brother Zhong, the two waves of people who just came here are important figures in the four major clans in the capital. The man in white at the innermost end is Liang Feng, the second son of the Liang family in the capital. The woman in the blue skirt over there is Cui Ying, the daughter of the head of the Cui family, you have to pay more attention to this woman, she is not a simple person, the largest rouge trading house in the capital, Huayi Shop and Jinli Cloth Shop, as well as most of the pharmacies in the capital, are all opened by this person. She is certainly a woman, but she must not be underestimated, and you should be careful when dealing with her in the future, so as not to fall into trouble. ”
Zhong Hui was very surprised when he heard that Han Duan introduced this woman, but he didn't expect that there would be a girl going into business. Business was originally regarded as a cheap industry and looked down upon by the world, and there would be women who took the initiative to infect this thing, and the scope of doing it was not small. It seems that there are still a lot of fierce people in this world. He thought that he would have more contact with these people and learn more things in the future.
As soon as these two groups of people saw Han Duan and Guan Yue, they came over and greeted Han Yue, although Guan Yue was dressed as a man, but they all knew each other and saluted her.
Guan Yue looked unconcerned, and her attention was constantly at the bottom of the auction hall.
Liang Feng looked at Zhong Hui next to Han Duan, a little curious. Zhong Hui didn't see that he was from Zhongchu, so he asked Han Quan: "Master Han, I don't know who this son next to you is?"
Han Duan immediately introduced the two of them and said, "This is Zhong Hui, who came from the other side of the Banlun Mountain Range, and is now a guest of the Prince's Mansion, my friend. Then he recommended Zhong Hui: "This is the second son of the Liang family - Liang Feng, this dignified and beautiful woman is the eldest lady of the Cui family - Cui Ying, Brother Zhong, get to know me." ”
Under the introduction of the cold, Zhong Hui and the two had a polite exchange for a while.
When Liang Feng heard that Zhong Hui came from the Banlun Mountain Range, he immediately looked at Zhong Hui with admiration, and secretly remembered Zhong Hui in his heart.
As for Cui Ying, she paid more attention to Zhong Hui's appearance. She has been in business for many years, and has been to many central and surrounding countries, but she has never seen a person with the same appearance as Zhong Hui, even if she has short black hair, her black eyes are like deep holes, and she has some immeasurable absorption. However, a woman kept staring at a man, which was not what everyone should do, and she only took a closer look before walking back to her seat.
Not long after Zhong Hui sat down, the people in the auction hall began to fill the empty seats one after another. He looked at Guan Yue, who was sitting next to him in men's clothes, looking around constantly, and couldn't help but sit with his forehead on his hand and sighed.
It seems that I really shouldn't have brought her, I hope that the auction will begin, and this eldest lady won't do something.
There was still some time before the official start of the auction, and Zhong Hui and Han Duan began to chat, passing the extra time.
"Brother Han, tell me, what are the things in this auction?"
"Brother Zhong hasn't participated in auctions before, has he?" asked Han Du.
"I haven't been involved in it. ”
"In this auction, I heard that there are several blockbuster lots, which are very valuable. For example, the East China Sea fluorescent beads, and the legendary sword of constant victory, I even heard that they want to take a picture of an ancient relic, which is very rare. Han Duan whispered.
Guan Yue was also absorbed by what Han Duan said, although she wanted to listen to the sound of the fluorescent bead, but when she heard the ancient relics, she seemed to be more interested.
"Ancient relics, what are they. Zhonghui asked.
"I don't know very well, I heard that it was found from a distant Qin relic site, it is well kept, and there is a lot of information, and I will know when it is filmed. ”
Zhong Hui constantly had a lot of questions in his heart, such as why everyone in this world spoke Chinese and wrote Chinese characters, and the country name and the like were so close to ancient times, almost like an ancient copy of that time over there. Except that the animals of this world are completely different from the previous world, there is simply no difference. Now that he heard Han Duan talking about the Far Qin Relic Land, he had a feeling that this Far Qin Relic Land must have some kind of connection with his question.
After presenting this idea, he couldn't help but want to see what the things in this Far Qin Relic Land were. He desperately wanted to know the answer, and perhaps the day the answer was revealed would be the day he returned to his former world.
As the two men talked, the atmosphere of the auction began to change.
After making Zhong Hui wait for a long time, from the stage above the hall, an old man with gray temples walked out, the old man was dressed in simple linen clothes, but his steps were extremely resolute. He walked to the center of the stage, and before he could speak, the audience was silent, and as the voice settled, the old man began to say solemnly: "The auction has officially begun." ”
With the old man on stage, the auction officially began.
The first auction item on display is an ancient sword, the sword body is three feet long, a little shorter than today's four-foot long sword, the sword body has a checkered pattern, the blade is as sharp as ever, the whole sword is streamlined, and there is a ring grip at the handle, which feels very good in the hand.
The old man first introduced the origin of this sword, which was the sword of Chang Sheng, the founding general of Zhongchu in that year.
