Chapter 13: Snow Lotus
After walking around for several streets, the boy finally stopped in front of a small shop.
The little boy turned around and saluted Su Wuyi, "Young Master Su wait a minute, open the door for a while." ”
Looking at Su Wuyi's head, Xiao Tong took out a bunch of keys from his sleeve cage, chose one of them, and unlocked the door.
The old wooden door was pushed open, creaking and screeching in the silence of the night.
Xiao Tong took the lead in pushing open the door, perhaps for fear of revealing some of their mechanisms, he blew out the lantern, walked in and stood at the door of the black hole, and made a gesture of please, "Su Gongzi, please." ”
Su Wuyi turned around and grabbed Baili Yu's wrist and stepped into the room.
Fortunately, the moonlight is bright tonight, otherwise I really can't see anything. Baili was a little scared, but when she felt the temperature and strength on her wrist, she suddenly calmed down.
Not far from the darkness, there was a clicking sound, as if some kind of mechanism had been activated, and then I heard the child not far away: "Master Su, please come here." ”
In the dark night, Su Wuyi's eyesight didn't seem to be very good, and he pulled Baili Wu to walk in the direction of the sound, and his steps were a little stagnant.
But he didn't let go of Baili's hand, and protected her behind him intentionally or unintentionally.
Seeing that he was about to hit the corner of the table in front of him, Baili Wu couldn't help but glance at Su Wuyi's side face, and saw that his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his jaw was slightly tense, but he didn't mean to dodge at all.
He can't see at night?
The average person's eye will gradually adapt to the darkness, and although they cannot fully see in the dark, they can basically see the contours around them.
And the moonlight is so good tonight, everything in the room can be seen at a glance.
But Su Wuyi's appearance is obviously unable to see anything.
Su Wuyi only felt that his hand was loose, and the person she was holding grabbed his arm in turn, and then pulled him in the other direction.
It seems to have been discovered by this little guy.
Su Wuyi smiled helplessly in the darkness, very few people knew his secret, and even Baili Huiyan didn't know.
If someone takes advantage of this, it will be a very dangerous thing for him.
So he often pretends to be out at night, just to hide this.
And tonight was an accident, the stone shadow could only hide in the shadows, and he couldn't be easily revealed, and he had to come forward in person, and now he could only rely on this little guy he brought inadvertently.
Fortunately, Xiao Tongzheng lowered his head slightly, and did not notice Su Wuyi's abnormality, and when Baili Wu walked over with Su Wuji, he saw a dim light leaking out of a square opening on the ground.
At the bottom is a staircase.
Su Wuyi re-grasped Baili's wrist, protected her behind her, and walked down the stairs.
Walking down the stairs, the boy did not follow, but touched the mechanism again and put the stairs away.
In front of him was an antique room, with a table and four stools in the middle.
There was no other furniture, and across the table was a somewhat old door.
Su Wuji walked over and pushed open the door, and the result was a road that was half a person high and half a person wide, and there were tung oil lamps hanging loosely on the top of the road.
At this height, Su Wuyi had some difficulty walking, and he walked with his head down all the way.
Baili couldn't help but want to laugh when she looked at him.
Look at it, look at it, it's not necessarily good to be tall, see if he dares to laugh at her little again in the future!
The man who walked in front didn't notice that Baili Wu behind him was gloating, and complained with disdain: "Trouble!" ”
Baili Wu's footsteps paused slightly, and Su Wuyi hurriedly explained, "I didn't say you, I mean who designed these roads, it's too chicken!" ”
Baili didn't speak, and continued to be pulled forward by him.
Finally came to the end, and there was another blackened wooden door, Su Wuyi pushed it open speechlessly, and a dazzling white light leaked in from the door in an instant.
As they got used to the light, they saw a large room in front of them.
The design is a bit like a stage, with a stage on top and seats and benches below, but it is much larger than a normal stage, enough to accommodate seven or eight hundred people.
At this time, the people sitting at the bottom were pressed and occupied more than half of the seats.
As if waiting for them at the door, the two people in dark brown suits respectfully saluted Su Wuyi, "Master Su, the president is waiting for you in the private room on the second floor." ”
Su Wuyi came with a little interest, "Okay, you lead the way in front." ”
Seeing that there should be no danger, Su Wuyi let go of Baili Wu and followed the servant all the way to the second floor.
When they reached the door of the private room they had called, the servant made a gesture of invitation, and did not seem to intend to go in.
Su Wuyi raised his eyebrows and pushed the door open.
The room is elegantly furnished, with priceless antique ornaments, tables and chairs made of ancient mahogany, and this year's new Shu brocade is only used by his master to make tablecloths. It is surrounded by light gray light gauze drapery, which is windless and automatic, revealing a kind of looming mystery.
Su Wuyi suddenly smiled and said loudly: "Dude, don't come to harm." ”
Baili was slightly dumbfounded, Su Wuyi and the president here know each other?
From the curtain slowly stepped out a man dressed in an inky satin robe, tall and long-legged, broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted.
has a handsome appearance, but this kind of beauty is different from Su Wuyi's bright and moving, but with an incomprehensible demonic sins.
"It's rare that Brother Su still remembers Hua, Hua is really flattered." There was a smile in the man's Qingyue voice, but his eyes were clear and keen, and he looked like a top person.
Su Wuyi arranged for Baili to sit down, and then turned around and looked at Hua Yi leisurely, and said with a smile: "What, the hole in Jiangnan is not easy to fight, have you transferred the position to Kyoto?" ”
Hua Yi was slightly stunned, but she was not annoyed, and said casually: "No, if there is an activity here, I will do it and sit in the town, and I have to go back." ”
Su Wuyi let out a meaningful sigh, stopped talking, poured a glass of water for the decent Baili Woman who was sitting, and pushed it over.
Hua Yi narrowed his eyes a little and asked, "Brother Su, this is ......?"
"Friends." Su Wuyi raised his eyebrows casually, "Is there a problem?" ”
Hua Yi's eyes flashed slightly, and he hurriedly replied: "No problem, no problem." After a pause, he said, "I thought it was my sister-in-law." ”
"Ahem!" Baili was immediately choked by a sip of tea, and water was sprayed on the face towel.
Su Wuyi frowned slightly and glanced at Hua Yi, who had a somewhat strange look, and then patted Baili Wan's back, a little funny, "You can choke on drinking water, why is it so worry-free?" ”
Su Wuyi's not salty glance just now made Hua Yixin's heart sink slightly, and he hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a new face towel.
Fortunately, I didn't choke deeply, and I coughed twice and I was fine. Su Wuyi took the new silk handkerchief handed by Hua Yi, "Let's replace this one." ”
Baili turned her back and went to change her handkerchief.
"How long is the auction left?" Su Wuyi asked Hua Yi.
Hua Yi looked at the funnel, "It's almost there, wait another quarter of an hour." ”
Su Wuyi nodded, leaning back on the Taishi chair, his eyebrows slightly constricted, as if he was thinking about things, and as if he was simply waiting for time.
No matter where this person appears, he is a striking and domineering existence, like a bright moon. seems to be a hanger, but in fact, he is full of righteousness.
Hua Yi inadvertently glanced at Su Wuyi, and then his eyes drooped slightly, hiding the depth inside.
A quarter of an hour passed quickly, the auction began, and Hua Yi also went out.
The first medicinal herb photographed was ambergris.
As we all know, this substance is generally used as a high-grade spice of the royal family, but it also has an important effect of traditional Chinese medicine. However, ambergris is basically monopolized by the royal family, and the people dare not use it, but if someone is sick and has to use it, someone will spend a lot of money to bid or resell it from the black market.
In the first round, the competition was fierce, and a piece of ambergris the size of a pigeon's egg was fried for 500 taels of gold and sold on the spot.
The second auction was a top-level night vine, which was not too many, and finally sold for two hundred taels of silver.
The third shot was Purple Ganoderma lucidum.
After hearing these three words from the people on the field, Su Wuji lazily raised his eyes and looked towards the stage.
As soon as he appeared, he asked for five hundred taels of silver. After a while, the price was called for 1,000 taels. Su Wuyi took a sip of tea and said softly to the person at the door, "I'll give two thousand taels." ”
At this time, the bidding price on the field stopped at about 1,500 taels, and no one dared to fight for this price. Just as the auction was finalized by the people on the stage, they heard the sound of bidding from the private room upstairs: "Two thousand taels." ”
Everyone looked behind them in an uproar, but they could only see the two servants standing at the door, and they could not see the master in the private room.
Two thousand taels and one high-grade purple lingzhi, it can only be said that this person is wealthy.
In the next few games, Su Wuyi bid for several precious medicinal materials at a high price.
The last treasure of the auction finally appeared, the best Tianshan Snow Lotus.
But the condition of this auction is that it will not be exchanged for gold and silver, but only rare treasures.
Even if your treasure is only worth a few pennies, as long as the president can see it, this Tianshan Snow Lotus is yours, and everything is as fate would have it.
As soon as this condition came out, there was an uproar on the field. Today, many people are coming for this Tianshan Snow Lotus, and they can't sit still for a while, but they don't dare to make trouble, so they can only look down and search the objects they are wearing.
Those who can come in here are either rich or expensive, and any thing on them is worth a fortune.
From time to time, people bring their own things to the stage to register.
Su Wuyi looked at the audience with a smile, his eyes were deep and quiet, with a dark black turmoil. He suddenly turned around to look at Baili's wife, but saw that the little girl was lying on the table and had fallen asleep.
Su Wuyi suddenly smiled, and the coldness in his eyes dissipated slightly.
This girl, it's almost noisy outside, and she can even sleep.
He sighed softly, untied the purse around his waist, and took something out of it.
About a knuckle high, the metal shell, cold and hard to hold in the hand, the strange shape inexplicably makes people feel a little intimidated.
He handed it to the servant at the door, and without speaking, he tapped his chin on the table, and then sat back in his chair.
Not long after the servant went down, he listened to the people in the stage announce the results. This superb Tianshan Snow Lotus was finally owned by Su Gongzi of Yama.
The unsuccessful people were all disappointed to go to the stage to collect their things, and this auction came to an end.
The people on the field gradually dispersed, and Hua Yi walked in with a rosewood box.
He just wanted to speak, but Su Wuyi stopped him with his finger against his lips, and pointed to the inside again. Hua Yi understood in seconds, and walked in lightly with Su Wuyi.
Hua Yi handed the box to Su Wuyi with both hands, "Congratulations to Master Su." ”
