Everyone looked up and saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy with red lips and white teeth standing proudly upstairs, although facing a group of royal relatives and nobles, he did not have stage fright at all.

"You ......"

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, the young man smiled faintly, hugged his fists and said, "In Xia Xu Rui, I have seen all the distinguished guests." ”

"Xu Rui? You are Xu Rui, who was praised as a saint by the doctor? ”

There were a few exclamations in the crowd, and the old and dizzy Fan Kun tried to open his slitted eyes, as if he wanted to see his appearance clearly, the eldest princess's eyes wandered, and she kept sweeping around Xu Rui, and a blush appeared on her face.

Xu Rui said with a smile: "It is Xu Rui below, Mr. Dongli is very loving, and he deserves to be born later, so don't mention this matter, please follow me upstairs." ”

Saying that, Xu Rui stepped back, and a row of maids went down and led all the distinguished guests up to the fourth floor one-on-one.

Everyone came to the fourth floor and was deeply shocked again.

The entire fourth floor is designed in the style of a modern auction house, with the exception of the building itself, all the décor is very modern, and the guests feel as if they have arrived in another world.

According to the status of the guests, the maidservants ushered the guests into the seats, which were not the wooden chairs common in the north, but the sofas carefully sewn from calfskin.

Xu Rui uses a lot of ergonomic design on the sofa, as soon as you sit on it, you will be wrapped in the whole sofa immediately, and your whole body will naturally relax, as if lying on the clouds.

"Wow......"

The guests subconsciously exclaimed, and before the exclamations were over, the maidservants brought the guests plates of fruit and drinks.

The fruit was still second, and the drink looked black, and there were bubbles bubbling in it, looking like the water of a yellow spring, which was both magical and terrifying.

The older guests looked curiously with their drinks, but they didn't dare to really drink it, but the eldest princess didn't realize it and took a sip first.

The moment she took the drink, her eyes widened.

The eldest princess only felt a sweet mouth, followed by a faint spicy taste that she had never felt before, and with the ice cubes in it, it seemed that the cool breeze from the snow-capped mountains blew directly to the bottom of her heart, sweeping away the scorching heat of May.

"The best wine in the world...... Belch...... It's the best wine in the world! ”

The eldest princess hiccuped and stared at the cup in her hand in shock.

When everyone heard this, they were also interested, and without hesitation, they drank the drink in their cups one after another, and the sound of hiccups came and went for a while, but everyone who drank it without exception had round eyes and a look of consternation.

"Dare to ask Xu Gongzi, what is the name of this wine?"

Hong Wenhou drank three glasses in a row, and the more he drank it, the more he liked it, and he mistook the faint spicy feeling for wine.

Xu Rui stood on the auction table and said with a smile: "This thing is not wine, but a drink, and I will call it Coke." ”

Due to the gap in technical means, Xu Rui's Coke naturally cannot be compared with Coke in another world, but in terms of taste, it is already seven or eight points similar, but the cost is much higher.

Under the rudimentary technical conditions, the cost of making a cup of such a cola alone is equivalent to the price of six kilograms of rice, which is a veritable aristocratic drink.

"Coke?!"

Everyone was amazed by this strange name, but the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion seemed to be a world of its own, and the things inside were all strange and new, and they were no longer strange.

At this time, there was a sudden drum sound of "dong" in the hall, and then the lights in the room went out instantly, and everyone's hearts tightened, and they were about to exclaim, but they saw a chasing light behind them, which happened to shine on Xu Rui's body.

Here we go......

This special little trick immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the guests realized that the show was about to start, and they were uncontrollably nervous.

"Welcome to Tianbao Pavilion, I believe that in the previous appreciation, you have a general understanding of Tianbao Pavilion, now without further ado, let's take a look at the four collections of today's finale, if you like it, you can bid at any time."

Xu Rui made a brief opening remarks, and then pointed to his side, and the chasing light immediately moved half a meter along his finger and landed on a white cloth more than one person high.

"What is this?"

When everyone was puzzled, Xu Rui pulled it lightly, and the white cloth fell down with a "swish", and it turned out to be a galloping horse more than one person high.

The galloping horse is designed according to the famous "horse stepping on the swallow", the whole body is made of glass, like the starry sky under the illumination of chasing the light, flashing with a breathtaking brilliance, and even shaking people can't open their eyes.

"Hiss......"

Everyone gasped in unison, and the entire hall was as quiet as death, and after a few full seconds, it was the eldest princess who came back to her senses first and exclaimed.

"Oh my God, there is such a huge treasure in the world!"

If the "boundless waterfall" that King Su gave to the lord of Hengcheng is amazing, and the "brooch crown" that Liu Yijin dedicated to the queen mother is eye-catching, then this "horse stepping on Feiyan" that is more than one person tall is a real shock.

The reason why gemstones are precious is because they are rare and unattainable, and it is unique to have the size of a fist, not to mention the different parts of the same gemstone, which are also translucent and colorful.

And the "horse stepping on the swallow" seen today is translucent, natural, can be called a heaven-sent treasure, rare in the world, with the value of the city is not enough to describe, it is simply the treasure of the town!

Of course, there is no diamond so big and perfect in the world, and like the "Infinity Waterfall" and the "Brooch Crown", this "Horse Stepping Swallow" is also a glass product.

But it was not easy to make such a large glass statue in this world, and it was not only difficult to make a large glass product, but also prone to a large number of bubbles, which in the early manufacturing process would have taken a lot of effort to solve.

In order to create this "Horse Riding Feiyan", Xu Rui first used the power provided by the water turbine to manufacture the most primitive "centrifuge" with the fast-rotating mold as the core, and then with the help of the "centrifuge", the bubbles were removed by centrifugal casting, and the "Horse Riding Feiyan" was blown into shape little by little.

In addition to the dozens of processes in the production of glass, the only one responsible for blowing and molding was completed by more than a dozen children of the Yuan family who were proficient in carving.

Xu Rui calculated, counting labor costs, time costs, mechanical wear and tear, etc., the total cost of the whole work reached an astonishing more than five thousand taels, if it weren't for the fact that he wanted to play the signboard of Tianbao Pavilion, he wouldn't have made so much effort to make a thing that could only be seen.

"Horse Stepping on Feiyan" is just a gimmick for Xu Rui, but in the eyes of the guests, it is a different world.

The so-called puff is innocent and guilty, "Horse Stepping on Feiyan" is like another world and the family, there is only one person in the world, that is the emperor on top, in addition, no matter who it is, the moment you get this treasure, you are doomed to the fate of the door!

Even so, everyone's enthusiasm for this treasure has not diminished in the slightest, because although the treasure can only be owned by the emperor, if anyone can dedicate such treasures to the emperor, it will be a great contribution to the country, and at least three generations of descendants will be able to protect the glory and wealth.

"Bid 30,000 taels!"

Jia Ping, the president of the Bandung Chamber of Commerce, was the first to bid, he was born a businessman, although he has a lot of money, but his status is always lower than that of a bureaucrat, and it has always been his biggest dream to be an official.

At the moment, as long as he can buy this treasure and dedicate it to the emperor, not only the official body, but also the hereditary title, where can he still sit still?

However, before his words fell, Hong Wenhou suddenly sneered and said, "Little businessman, how can he deserve to buy such a treasure of the country?" This candidate bid 60,000 taels! ”

Hong Wenhou's words were mean, but his father was an important minister of the former dynasty, and his mother was the sister of Concubine Yin.

Although the financial resources are among the best, but when it comes to power, Jia Ping can't even drink at the same table with everyone, he doesn't want to get into trouble, so he has to sigh in his heart and stop bidding.

Since the appearance of this "horse stepping on Feiyan", the eldest princess seems to have been hooked, and she didn't come back to her senses until she heard someone bid.

She was originally the beloved daughter of the Queen Mother, and she had the same father and mother as Emperor Hongwei, and her relationship was very good, but over the years, she had been making a lot of money in the camp, which had made the emperor's younger brother very dissatisfied, and the Queen Mother was getting older, and the time to shelter her was running out.

Seeing that the foundation of her power began to shake, the eldest princess was often so anxious that she couldn't sleep at night.

But if she can give such treasures to Emperor Hongwei, the eldest princess will be able to eliminate the estrangement between her and the emperor immediately, and maybe the imperial favor she has received will be able to go to the next level.

Thinking of this, she was already determined to get this "Horse Stepping Feiyan", and when she heard Hong Wenhou bid 60,000 taels, the eldest princess said without hesitation: "100,000, this palace bids 100,000 taels!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately gasped, 100,000 taels of silver has caught up with the sum of the taxes of several poor counties, even if the eldest princess is rich, she will be bleeding heavily.

Hearing the princess's bid, Ye Aohe, the Duke of Liang Guo, who was still a little hesitant, didn't think about it, and opened his mouth and said, "Grandpa Ben bid 120,000 taels!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the eldest princess's sword-like gaze immediately swept away, but Liang Guogong was full of sneers, and he forced his eyes back without dodging.

Because of a few shops in Changxing City, as well as some businesses in Dongshan, and then the disputes in the harem, it is no secret that Liang Guogong and the eldest princess are on the same page.

The two forces are losing their strengths and weaknesses, even if they don't think about their own family, Liang Guogong never wants to see the eldest princess receive the emperor's favor again.

"130,000 taels!"

The eldest princess didn't know what he was thinking, but now was not the time to care, so she had to keep a gloomy face and continue to bargain.

But as soon as her words fell, Liang Guogong gritted his teeth and said, "135,000 taels!" ”

The eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart burned with anger.

Everyone is well aware of the grievances between the two families, and even those who want to bid are interested in shutting up and unwilling to participate.

Standing on the auction table, Xu Rui was smiling, and each of the thirty guests was carefully selected by him, and the appearance of such competition was one of the effects he worked hard to create.

"Fight, fight, if you don't fight, how can I get wool from you?"

Xu Rui stood outside the chasing light, with a sinister smile on his face, thinking happily.
