24. Step into the hall

After speaking, he beckoned over a beautiful woman in a cheongsam, "You have to wait for this gentleman well, don't be negligent." ”

After arranging, the big golden tooth bowed again, "Sir, you sit down first." There's something going on over there, I'll go over there first. ”

"You're going to get busy." Huo Long bowed slightly. After the other party left, he looked at the brochure of the auction items on the side.

After seeing it, the cheongsam beauty hurriedly took it over, presented it with both hands, and introduced it in a beautiful voice, "This is a manual about the introduction of the auction items in this auction, and all the things that are auctioned are introduced in detail in the manual." Sir, you may wish to find out first. ”

"I'm tired." Huo Long took it casually and nodded lightly in thanks, "You go and do your work, you don't have to entertain me here." If anything, I'll call you again. ”

"Okay, then I'll step back first. You can always tell me. The cheongsam beauty originally wanted to stay by the side of this elegant and noble man for a while, but since the other party said so, she had to leave with regret on her face.

She was already far away, and she turned her head to look at her from time to time. She sighed in her heart that this man with such an extraordinary bearing was so polite to others.

Such a man is really rare.

Huo Long casually opened the manual and flipped through it.

In this auction organized by Jinbang Auction House in the Emperor Building, the items are naturally extraordinary. Antiques, calligraphy and paintings, rare treasures... There are as many as forty or fifty of all kinds of precious things, including real estate.

Although the quantity is not very large, they are all priceless and extraordinary.

If you take out any piece, the starting price is prohibitive for ordinary people.

However, among all the auction items, what really interested Huo Long was the Huo family courtyard. This used to be his home, and the first thing he did when he returned to Beihai was to get his home back first.

Tong Xiaowu has already investigated that the Huojia courtyard house is within the planning scope determined by the relevant agencies, and because it has been uninhabited for ten years, the property rights have been recovered. There is likely to be a conspiracy in this. If you ask for an explanation through legal channels, there may be some results, but Huo Long has more important things to do, and he doesn't want to waste time.

The purpose of participating in this auction is to buy back the Huo family courtyard.

For him, money is a cloud.

There is a more important reason for not going through the legal process: he does not want to reveal his identity prematurely.

His eyes fell on the picture introduced to the Huo family's courtyard, and Huo Long's heart swayed with a warm current. As it was ten years ago, nothing has changed, brick by brick, grass by tree, and the thick old elm tree in the middle of the yard...

"Mother, I want to eat elm money cakes."

"Daddy, why do the leaves of the elm tree look like copper coins?"

“……”

With the aftertaste of family affection, Huo Long fell into reminiscence.

At this time, the time for the auction to start is approaching, and the people who participate in the auction are coming. In the blink of an eye, the bustling auction hall was almost full.

"What a coincidence, I met you here." A soft voice made Huo Long come back to his senses from his memories, and when he looked up, he was very surprised.

It turned out to be Miao Ruolan, standing in front of her with a smile.

"Oh?" Huo Long got up and stood up, "Unexpectedly, you also came to participate in the auction." ”

"I met in the library yesterday, and we met here today, so it's really fateful." Miao Ruolan smiled, and her white and tender hand stretched out towards Huo Long.

At the moment of reaching out, she felt strange in her heart, how could she, who usually hates shaking hands with others, take the initiative to reach out to herself?

However, since the hand has been extended, there is no reason to retract it.

"Really... There is fate. ”

Huo Long stretched out his hand and gently grabbed Su Ruolan's white and tender little hand, his heart trembled slightly, and another voice whispered, "Ruolan, Ruolan..."

"There aren't many people who can come to the Imperial Mansion to participate in the auction this time, but it's a coincidence that we met here again." Su Ruolan withdrew her hand, opened the bag she was carrying, took out something tightly sealed with kraft paper from it, and handed it to Huo Long, "Here, this is the one you want." ”

"What?"

"Beihai Chronicles, this is the original version." Miao Ruolan winked at Huo Long.

"This..."Huo Long stretched out his hand to take it, the thing was heavy, boxy, and the shape of a thick book. I don't understand why a book is so tightly wrapped in brown paper.

"When my grandfather was alive, he said that there was only one copy of the original version of "Beihai Historical Chronicles", and he specially explained to me that if someone inquired about the original version of "Beihai Historical Chronicles", he must give him something."

Miao Ruolan's face was solemn, and her eyes were shining, "Last night, when I met you in the library and saw that you were looking for books, I thought of my grandfather's entrustment." ”

Miao Ruolan's words first shocked Huo Long's heart, and then he was surprised.

Grandpa Miao passed away?

The news was too unexpected.

What a kind old man he was, a retired university professor with a keen interest in the study of history. I remember very clearly that every time I went to Miao's house to find Miao Ruolan, Grandpa Miao would come over with a smile and talk to him amiably.

Unexpectedly, Grandpa Miao is no longer in the world.

Unexpectedly, Grandpa Miao actually left an original version of "Beihai Historical Records", and actually deliberately explained it and left the historical records to the people who inquired about it.

The hand holding the kraft paper bag trembled slightly, Huo Long was in a surging mood, could it be...

In this original version of the "Beihai Historical Records", there is a record of the extraterrestrial stone five hundred years ago?

Why is it so tightly sealed?

Is there a big secret?

"Don't be stunned, put it away first. The auction is about to begin. Miao Ruolan smiled, in addition to the charming beauty unique to women, she also had an elegant temperament.

Miao Ruolan's beauty is a kind of holy and elegant beauty, as if she was born a goddess who is high and has an awe-inspiring and inviolable temperament.

"Thank you so much." Huo Long motioned for her to sit down, and then beckoned to pull the cheongsam beauty she had just served over,

"Two glasses of Lafite, the original flavor of the old château, the best."

"Ah, this," the other party hesitated, "This Lafite, there are only two bottles in the Imperial Building, and the price... A bit pricey. ”

"A little expensive?" Huo Long couldn't help laughing, "What kind of noble law?" ”

"This is a limited edition, 100,000 for a bottle of wine."

"Oh, it's all here." Huo Long said lightly, "After the auction is over, you can settle the bill together." ”

"Okay."

The cheongsam beauty left in response. Before leaving, she glanced at Miao Ruolan with envy, this goddess is so blessed, and there are rich men who are willing to spend money for her.

"You're welcome." Miao Ruolan was surprised at first, and then thanked with a smile.

At this time, she was full of curiosity about this man who looked like Huo Long, a bottle of Lafite was 100,000, and the other party understated it and made such a generous shot.

Looking at Huo Long's knife-and-axe-like face, unconsciously, her little face turned slightly red. From the moment she saw them in the cemetery, she was surprised that the other party's appearance and appearance were so similar to Huo Long. For ten years, I have been haunted by his face, and when I finally saw someone similar to him, I couldn't help but want to take a few more looks.

Soon, a beautiful waitress in a cheongsam brought over two beautifully packaged bottles of Lafite, as well as two goblets of wine glasses, on a tray.

The wine was opened, and a little was poured into each of the two glasses, and the rich and mellow aroma quickly spread.

Huo Long picked up his wine glass, his eyes trembling slightly, "Come, cheers to our reunion!" ”

"Reunion?" Miao Ruolan also raised her wine glass, "Even if we meet again, we don't know each other's names yet." ”

"My name is Long Long, and they all call me Brother Long." Huo Long smiled, and at this moment, a heartfelt smile bloomed on his face.

Ten years ago, my parents were forced to commit suicide, and I and my sister were able to escape with the help of Uncle Xi Fangping. The person he loved the most had to break up with him at that time. And, now that his beloved is in front of him, how can he not be excited?

"Longlong? What a beautiful name. Your parents must want you to do something in the future, right? Miao Ruolan smiled and introduced herself, "My name is Miao Ruolan and I run a decoration company. ”

She really did the decoration, Huo Long sighed slightly in his heart.

Ten years ago, when we were at Beihai University together, she said more than once that if possible, she hoped to engage in the decoration industry in the future, and she would dress up her house in Beihai as beautiful as herself.
