Chapter 44: The Thousand-Faced Han Yue Prince
His eyes fell on the round table closest to the auction table, and Jiao Yuzhen saw a man wearing a snow-white brocade robe, long hair and a shawl, and a jade pendant hanging from his waist, and the jade pendant was engraved with a rose surrounded by thorns, this man ...... Is it the people of the Crescent Pavilion, that is, the people in that carriage?
Jiao Yuzhen's eyes flashed with golden light, and she instantly saw clearly that the man's face was wearing a mask engraved with delicate patterns, and the mask covered the upper half of his face, but under his mask was a very handsome face, and more importantly, that face actually gave her a somewhat familiar feeling, the outline of his face...... It's familiar, like I've seen it before......
Thinking about it very seriously, Jiao Yuzhen's body trembled slightly, and suddenly remembered that day in the farm he met a woman from the Western Regions called Xiaochun Mountain, the woman was driving a carriage, and there was a blindfolded man sitting in the car, that man is this man, so they are the ones who buried the gems in the pigsty?!
The man turned his face abruptly, Jiao Yuzhen was startled, and quickly looked away.
"Master?" A teenager looked around vigilantly, "Did you notice anything unusual?" ”
"Xiao Yi, is there any special person here? Right around that corner......"
Xiao Yi looked at the corner, and replied respectfully: "Over there is the location of Xin Pengyi, the head of the Xin family in Jubao, where Xin Pengyi and an old shopkeeper and a guard are there, so I can't see anything special." ”
"Well......" The person wearing the mask is naturally Jimo Hanfei, but at this moment, he has another identity, that is, Han Yuegongzi, the pavilion master of the Crescent Moon Pavilion, the largest intelligence organization in the rivers and lakes, "Do you think we will have a harvest this time?" Will the guy who took my Immortal Flower Amber come here for auction? ”
"Don't worry, master, even if there is no harvest here, Lord Qingying will continue to search for the whereabouts of that amber." Xiao Yi comforted softly.
Jimo Hanfei didn't speak, he turned his head and continued to sit quietly.
However, just now it seemed that the other party glanced back fiercely, Jiao Yuzhen felt her heart pounding, although it was only a moment just now, but she had a very scared feeling, the man seemed to have a very strong momentum, but even so, she still had a very familiar feeling......
"Welcome to the Humble House." A middle-aged man with a big belly and a strange outfit walked up to the auction table, he put one hand on his chest, bowed to everyone, and then opened his hand and spoke loudly, "Eminem, I announce now, the treasure auction has begun!" ”
There were loud cheers from the periphery, applause and shouts.
"Qingbao, you will take a good look at every product later, don't let go of good things, we have a rich family." Xin Pengyi shook the folding fan in her hand and smiled happily, as if she had a sense of ambition for everything.
Jiao Yuzhen nodded and looked at the auction table, at this time Eminem took out a large box, which contained a piece of nephrite rough stone, but this stone was only opened a little bit, revealing a water chestnut horn of nephrite, this large rough stone is impossible to open a large piece of nephrite, and what impurities in it are unpredictable, but there are still many gem merchants competing for it.
Most of the bidders are from the outside, but the prices are not very high.
"How? Qingbao? Xin Pengyi approached Jiao Yuzhen with a folding fan, "What about the stone?" ”
"Except for a little bit of water chestnut exposed, there are not many good jade parts inside, and most of them are surrounded by impurities. If it is opened, it can probably only polish small things, such as the face of the ring, earrings and the like. Jiao Yuzhen replied in a low voice, "The guests who come here should be connoisseurs, why are there still so many people bidding for such a rough stone?" ”
"Because they want to gamble their lives." Xin Pengyi said with a smile, "The guests on the periphery are all small merchants, although they can squeeze in here, but it is impossible to earn some good things, so they can only bet on such stones." If it is a good thing, it will definitely make a fortune, but if it is not good, it may go bankrupt overnight. But even so, there are still many small customers who will choose. ”
"yes, it's just that kind of rough stone is not worth investing in at a glance." Jiao Yuzhen didn't agree with that approach, even in her previous life, she hadn't seen such a reckless person, but it was rare, after all, modern technology appraisal technology was very good, so there would be no more such people who invested recklessly.
The rough stone was quickly bought by the guests on the periphery, and then Eminem brought up a set of gold utensils, and the gold artifacts made into the Wind Chime Tower are rarely seen in Qingguo, just like a magic weapon.
"It's beautiful, but it's definitely not good." There was no need for Jiao Yuzhen to see it this time, Xin Pengyi spoke, "That's a wind chime artifact, it should be a sacrificial article from a country or tribe in the Western Regions, if it's just for sacrificial use, then it's okay, but if it's auctioned, there must be something wrong, and it will be unlucky to buy it back." But there are some rich people who like to buy this strange thing, but I'm not interested in it. ”
The auction items were taken out by Eminem one by one, and then no matter how unreliable things were in Jiao Yuzhen's eyes, they would be bought, although those things looked valuable on the surface, but in fact they were things that were on the surface, Jiao Yuzhen felt that there were not too many special things in the auctions in ancient times, so he began to feel a little sleepy, after all, it was already the middle of the night.
"It's out." Xin Pengyi closed the folding fan with a "click", and then pointed to the jade Buddha that was carried up by the guards on the auction table, the jade Buddha was crystal clear, and the carving was exquisite, "The jade Buddha I heard in advance, but it's a good thing!" ”
Jiao Yuzhen raised his eyes to look at the jade Buddha, and then raised his eyebrows: "This era...... Is there such a process? There's something in this Jade Buddha. ”
"Something?" Xin Pengyi, who had been sitting lazily on the side of the chair, sat up straight, "That's something that came out of the palace in the former dynasty, it has a history of five hundred years, and the jade quality is also superb, how can there be anything in the palace in the early years in the Jade Buddha?" ”
"Then you'll know when you buy it." Jiao Yuzhen couldn't help but think about the man from the Crescent Moon Pavilion, who had been sitting in the same position, and he hadn't moved for an hour and a half, and he didn't even seem to care much about the things on the auction table.
Xin Pengyi also glanced at the Crescent Moon Pavilion, and then said to Fu Bo beside him: "Fu Bo, please take this Jade Buddha back." ”
"Yes, young master." Fauber nodded, and then began to pay attention to the bid, "Fifteen hundred taels." ”
"Sixteen taels ......"
"Seventeen taels ......"
"Every time I shout the price, it's a hundred taels more, it's too slow, and this Jade Buddha knows that it's worth a lot at a glance." Jiao Yuzhen hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand, "Three thousand taels." ”
Xin Pengyi and Fu Bo glanced at each other with a wry smile helplessly, and they didn't blame Jiao Yuzhen for suddenly increasing the price, and the price seemed to have doubled.
"Three thousand taels...... Are there more than 3,000 taels? "Eminem seems to be very satisfied with three thousand taels, although the Jade Buddha is very beautiful and looks very valuable, but the volume is not large, so three thousand taels is already a very high price.
"Three thousand taels ......" Mo Hanfei slowly raised his hand, and then paused before he continued, "Gold." ”
The audience was in an uproar, and even Xin Pengyi held the folding fan in his hand tightly: "How can the Crescent Moon Pavilion be interested in this Jade Buddha, but it is just a thing from the previous dynasty, is it ...... What's important in it, as you said? ”
"Three thousand taels of gold is too much, I don't think it's worth it......" Fu Bo seemed to be afraid that Jiao Yuzhen would still shout, so he interjected.
"If you can get closer, you can see clearly." Jiao Yuzhen squinted his eyes and tried hard to look forward, but although there was something in the Jade Buddha, he didn't know why he couldn't see clearly, "Do you know the person from the Crescent Moon Pavilion?" It would be nice if I knew him and let him show me the Jade Buddha. ”
"Forget it." Xin Pengyi shook his head, "It's better not to approach the people of the Crescent Moon Pavilion, we are businessmen, and we should not be involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes." ”
"Okay then." Jiao Yuzhen didn't dig any further, she looked at the item that Eminem took out again on the auction table, it was a ruby about the size of a goose egg, "Very good ruby, is that what you want?" ”
Xin Pengyi nodded again and again: "I want this too, but you don't want to bid, it's better to be patient and watch." ”
Jiao Yuzhen was bored holding his cheeks, there was no way to participate in person, and the auction where he personally opened his mouth to shout was really boring......
I inadvertently looked in the direction of the table in the Crescent Moon Pavilion again, and found that the man wearing the mask stood up from the chair, and then a woman in a short costume walked over, and that woman turned out to be Xiao Chunshan!
The golden light flowed under her eyes, Jiao Yuzhen couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips, in addition to being able to see through everything, she also has an acquired skill, that is, lip reading, if she didn't have such a skill, how could she be so prosperous in the shopping mall?
- Master, there are some rough amber stones in today's auction, but there is no amber among them.
This is what Xiao Chunshan said.
- Now that the Jade Buddha has arrived, let's wait until the next session and go out for a walk with me.
This is what the Crescent Moon Pavilion Master Han Yue Gongzi said.
"Peng Yi, there doesn't seem to be any special commodities below, when will the jade rough you want to shoot come out?" Seeing the mysterious masked man walking out of the venue, Jiao Yuzhen couldn't help but ask Xin Pengyi beside him.
"It's going to take a while, the jade rough should be the finale, and the next link is that the guests can also take out the treasure for auction, and then Eminem will take out the jade rough stone. That Amco was a shrewd businessman. Xin Pengyi didn't hear what Jiao Yuzhen said, and was watching Fu Bo auction the huge ruby very hard, the price had risen to three thousand taels, and it seemed that there were obviously many people trying to compete for it.
"Then I'll go out and breathe, and I'll be over in a while."
Seeing Jiao Yuzhen standing up, Xin Pengyi stuffed a small dagger into her hand: "Just bring this with you and use it as a talisman." ”
"Okay." Jiao Yuzhen wanted to follow Han Yuegongzi, who went to see the Crescent Moon Pavilion, so he put away the dagger in his hand without looking at it and hurriedly went out.
