The Fang family presided over the auction of a young man in his forties, with high cheekbones and deep eye sockets, and two small mustaches on his lips.

"Thanks to all the bosses for visiting the young phoenix building, the Qizhou incense meeting in the first half of this year was presided over by the contemptible people. Contemptible people, you can call you a thousand ......"

Huaxi smiled secretly, "Lao Qian", this Fang family is really good at choosing people, this name is just right, and they will make sure that they will make a profit without losing money.

Qian Mo gushed some beautiful words, and the bidding meeting officially began.

"Everyone here is an expert in incense, and they all know the 'three things of the stove and bottle' mentioned in incense, the incense burner, the jar, and the incense box. Today, the first lot starts with this incense burner. ”

Qian Mo lifted the silk cloth on the lot that the waiter had placed on the table of the Eight Immortals in advance, and inside was a hollow gold smoke ball, about a palm wide in diameter, with a hanging chain on the upper part, and the gold was a little dull, looking like an object with a lot of years.

Huaxi's eyes lit up as she looked at the smoked ball. Smoked balls, also called incense balls, bedding incense burners, and quilt incense burners. The inside of the smoked ball is equipped with two small bowls with ring-shaped movable shafts, which are riveted with the inner concentric ring movable shafts, and no matter how the smoked ball rotates, the small bowls are always kept horizontal, so the small bowls contain lit spices and do not burn the quilt. Emperor Dahua did not advocate luxury, so such exquisite incense clothes and quilts were rare in the prince's house.

This is the imperial palace of Emperor Wude of Chen Guo, the double finch entwined branch lotus pattern hollow gold smoked ball, the two hemispheres as the mother buckle closed, the whole body is beautifully decorated. If that guest is interested, you may wish to come and have a look. ”

Because it has been nearly a hundred years since the fall of the Chen State, the last Emperor Wude was mediocre, arrogant and luxurious during his reign, and there were many royal objects that fell to the people after the palace was broken, and it was not uncommon for palace concubines to use smoked balls like this. Most of the people present were spice merchants, and they were not interested in this kind of strange tricks. Even if there are people who like antique incense, most of them already have collections, so they don't care.

After all, the highlight of the auction is still to come, and the first thing to appear is generally a small object, which requires not much money, mainly to ask for good luck for opening the door. Therefore, the only people who walked up to see it in the end were Huaxi, the brown-haired and blue-eyed Xiyue Girl, and the boy and Filip beside the Nian Xiyue Nu, obviously the Xiyue Nu preferred the delicate pattern of the smoked ball, and the boy and Filip were more interested in the internal mechanism of the smoked ball.

After a few people finished reading it, Qianmo began to bid for a price, starting at one hundred taels.

"One hundred and fifty taels." As soon as the words fell, the young man opposite Huaxi who led Xiyue's favored concubine began to bargain.

"Two hundred taels." Fili shouted a second one.

The young man didn't expect that there would be someone arguing, he glanced at Filip, he didn't seem to be cold, his expression changed slightly, and the price quoted by his mouth rose by fifty taels.

"Three hundred taels." Filip refused to show weakness, and the smell of gunpowder between the two was full.

"Three hundred and fifty taels." A Qingyue female voice was added to the battle group of the two.

Nian Nan and Filip were stunned at the same time, and looked towards Huaxi.

Filip only glanced at it, didn't care, and was about to open his mouth to continue shouting, but was stopped by Leyi, who was sitting next to him. Le Yi saw Fan Yun and Mu Xi beside Huaxi, lowered her head and whispered a few words to Filip, but Fili was stunned and did not continue to shout.

The young man glanced at Huaxi, then looked at Ouyang Zheng next to him, frowned slightly, and next to him, Xiyue Meiji touched him with her arm, and he continued to shout: "Four hundred taels." ”

Huaxi added another twenty taels, but seeing that the man looked like he was bound to win, he glanced at the incense ball twice, hesitated, and the price was about to be raised. Although she liked it, she didn't want to spend money in vain, thinking that since it was something flowing out of Chen Guogong, she thought that such a delicate object would not be less in the people, and maybe there would be a chance to meet it in the future, so she finally gave up shouting.

Huaxi didn't say anything, and Qianmo asked with a smile: "Is there anyone else shouting?" ”

Filip interjected again, "Four hundred and fifty taels." ”

The young man kept up, but this time he only added ten taels, and the two raised the price step by step.

Qian Mo heard Nian Nan and Filip shouting the price, and smiled, eager for the two to continue shouting.

The price rose all the way, and the young man later shouted directly from five hundred and fifty taels all the way to seven hundred taels. Filip didn't continue to increase the price. Huaxi couldn't help but glance in his direction, and saw that Le Yi didn't know what to say to Filip, Fili reached out and grabbed his unkempt blonde hair, glared fiercely in the direction of the young man, like an annoyed little lion, and finally pouted and didn't continue to fight.

Huaxi turned her head, and Mihime Saizuki, who was laughing with the man in a low voice, looked at the gilded incense ball, and then looked at Huaxi and Filip, her eyes seemed to be showing off her victory.

Qian Mo was very satisfied when he heard the price quoted by the young man at the end, and said with a smile: "Seven hundred taels, are there any guests who want to increase the price?" ”

There were impatient waiting guests below who were already clamoring for Qianmo to hurry up, and Qianmo bowed down and was about to knock on the price code, when he heard someone shouting: "Eight hundred taels." ”

Hua Xi was stunned for a moment, turned her head to look at Ouyang Zheng, and didn't understand why he suddenly spoke. Ouyang Zheng felt Huaxi's gaze, but he didn't look back, his gaze fell on the young man opposite.

"Ah, the world...... The guest shouted eight hundred taels. Qian Mo remembered what the boss had ordered, and did not reveal Ouyang Zheng's identity, turned his head and looked at the young man again and asked, "Do you want to continue to increase the price?" ”

That year, the man didn't expect Ouyang Zheng to finally step in, seeing that he had an extraordinary bearing and sharp eyes, he thought about it secretly, and finally lowered his head and whispered a few words to Xiyue Beauty, and shook his head at Qianmo.

Ouyang Zheng took the silver ticket and handed it to the waiter, and Qian Mo put the double-sparrow entwined branch lotus pattern hollow gold smoke ball in the pear blossom wooden box and sent it to Ouyang Zheng.

Ouyang Zheng changed his hand and put the wooden box in Huaxi's arms, "Since you like it, you have to do your best to grab it." ”

Robber logic

Huaxi pouted secretly, opened the wooden box and took out the smoked ball to look at it again, although the appearance is mottled, but the hollow tangled lotus flower on the ball is complex and exquisite, the upper and lower hemispheres next to the mother's mouth are about to fly, lifelike, one end of the chain with a small hook, can be hung in the tent or in the car.

Huaxi liked it, and she didn't pretend to Ouyang Zheng, so she thanked her and accepted it.

When Ouyang Zheng heard her tell Mu Xi to put it away carefully, his voice was full of joy and joy, and the corners of his lips curved, but the smile was fleeting.

Not far away, Filip propped his head in his hands, pouted and muttered, "After a circle, it's back in the girl's hands." ”

Le Yi shook her head, "Don't you want to help her fight for it too?" ”

Filip looked embarrassed, turned his head and snorted, "I saw that she was going to give us a golden wattle wood incense pillow for the sake of knowing the current affairs." ”

Le Yi smiled slightly, looked at his younger brother and said, "If you want to return the favor, there should be a chance later." ”

Filipe pursed his lips without saying a word, his gaze swept over Huaxi, and then looked at the center of the hall.

Later, Qian Mo took out a celadon incense burner from the Dashun Dynasty and a quail jade incense box from the Chu State, which were bought by a Dahua merchant and a man that year, respectively.

The waiter gave a foot-wide celadon incense box. Qianmo introduced that it was the best plum blossom brain that came in from the southwest of Bernie Country. Lifting the lid of the box, the white crystals inside are as clear as ice, like plum blossoms, and the cool and sharp breath can be smelled by everyone present.

"Plum blossom brain, counting in pieces, the fragrance can be ten steps. This box is really the best borneol. Huaxi said to himself, the top plum brain on the market in Dahua is very rare, and the best is the second-class golden foot brain, which is not as large and crystal clear as the plum brain crystal, and the general fragrance is mostly used for rice brain.

The best plum blossom brain is scarce, even if it is the tribute of the palace, there are dozens of pieces at most, and it is rare that there is such a large number at this meeting, no less than two hundred pieces. If he eats this box alone, the rest of the people are naturally unwilling, because the rules of this auction cannot be broken, so some familiar businessmen secretly discuss cooperative bidding, and some people plan to bid to see if they can privately buy a dozen pieces for the town store.

Seeing the good incense medicine, Huaxi was moved, but he knew that he couldn't afford to buy such a large box, and thought that the Fang family would not ship all of them in his hands, so he came up with the idea of buying more than a dozen tablets privately in the name of Susukino Shin.

In the last battle, this box of plum blossom brains was purchased by Feng Ji.

Next, the auction is two pieces of bull's head sandalwood.

When he heard Qian Mo report this name, Ouyang Zheng was puzzled: "Bull head? This is the first time I've heard of it. ”

After hearing this, Huaxi explained, "Ox Head Sandalwood is the Tamarajan Tan mentioned in the Myoho-renge-kyo Sutra, which refers to a kind of superb white sandalwood produced in Mt. Maraya. Sandalwood is divided into yellow sandalwood, white sandalwood, and red sandalwood. ”

ran into a topic of interest, and Huaxi's words increased, "If you talk about the most refreshing fragrance, it should be white sandalwood." Sandalwood regulates the qi, can lead the aromatic things to go up to a very high level, but because of the strength and easy to discharge, but will rob the fragrance of the fragrance, so before the incense to use tea, wine, honey and other things, the temperament will be mild and introverted, easier to enter the fragrance. ”

Huaxi was always so focused when talking about incense, it seemed that the enthusiasm she had hidden under her cold appearance was released at this moment, even through the light veil, Ouyang Zheng could still feel the smile behind her eyebrows, as bright and dazzling as the sun. After seeing it once, you can't help but want to keep that smile forever.

After explaining in one breath, Huaxi felt that she seemed to have said a little too much. Touching Ouyang Zheng's soft and smiling gaze, Huaxi's face was slightly red, and he hurriedly looked at the field, only to find that before he knew it, the bidding on the field had passed two rounds.

Hua Xi gathered his mind, staring at the changes in the price on the field motionlessly, waiting for the opportunity to make a move.

First, I'll fix it tomorrow~~ coughing
