After she said this, I finally became a spirit, and immediately understood what was going to happen next. I suddenly remembered that my grandfather had mentioned this concept in some of the anecdotes I had heard.

The so-called light sky lantern, is a saying in the old casino, in fact, it should be called "light", is a gambling technique, which means that if you find that someone on the gambling table is very bad luck, you bet on him, he bet on the big you bet on the small, he bet on the idle you bet on the bank, the bet is not their own luck but the mildew of others, this bad luck person, is your "lamp". Some people are born with bad luck, and they will lose every time they gamble, and they will be specially invited to "light the lamp" to win big profits with small losses.

In terms of probability theory, in fact, this is not true, probability theory does not admit any luck, but lighting the sky lantern is absolutely effective, any gambler knows that after losing the first hand, it is likely to continue to lose, the world is so wonderful.

During the Manchu Qing Dynasty, in the circle of Jiangnan high-rollers, because the number of games was huge and uncontrolled, those who were lucky often lost a night and went bankrupt, so the word "lighting the lamp" on that occasion was not grand enough, and that kind of gentleman often liked to be angry with people. As soon as he came up, "The second child of the Wang family, don't be scared, Lao Tzu will light you today." The other party always had to add some material and scolded back, "You take Lao Tzu to light the lamp, Lao Tzu takes you to light the sky lantern!" ”

Come and go, this is directly called lighting the sky lantern, in fact, this is appropriate, lighting the sky lantern is a fire to burn themselves to the light, just like they gambled one night and went bankrupt.

I remember my grandfather told a story about the eldest of their old nine gates, who became famous in Beijing and chased his wife, just by lighting the sky lantern when he was singing and selling. I've almost forgotten this story, and I remembered the old woman's hint.

In the record auction, light the sky lantern, it seems to be the meaning of the charter, in a box, the left and right two main seats, the right is the palm lamp position, someone sits on the right seat of any box, it means that no matter what is sold in this round, no matter how much money is auctioned in the end, I will automatically add a vote, which is equivalent to how you play, this thing I want to decide.

This is generally the method of the princes and nobles to pick up girls, it is very common in the Manchu Dynasty, political marriages are not spared money, anyway, it is a small thing to grasp the power money, so the princes and princes chase the county lord like to come here, sometimes it happens that the two county lords are not eye-catching, and the Kaizi on both sides have to fight the lamp, which is not to see who has a high price, but to see whose boyfriend can withstand it, there is no time limit when fighting the lamp, but the light can be removed, but if one party withdraws the light, it is really disgraceful, At that time, it was even more uncomfortable for those second ancestors than if they were dead.

And when the lone lamp is hung, it is very cruel, you have to carry it until the end of the auction, no one knows what price this thing will be called, and the other auctioneers, the only chance to get the collection, is to blow up the lamp, desperately bid, raise the price to a very high height, so that the person who lights the sky lantern can not bear the price, once this happens, it will be postponed by the last bidder to get the auction, and the person who lights the sky lantern must pay some price for his actions, sometimes money, Sometimes it can be an organ like a finger, but it's extremely costly, because the backstage boss has to let everyone know that it's not something to play. Therefore, the person who lights the sky lantern must weigh his own weight, which is not something that can be played with money.

Fortunately, the rules of lighting the lamp, but also afraid that you are asking for the price, business people know, the price is called within a reasonable range of things will be established, if a pair of slippers 100 million, then the matter will be ripped off, others will not come to play with you, and you shoot too high, even if you successfully light the lamp, the goods will be delayed to your hands, you may also not be able to pay the price quoted at the time, that is equivalent to you also burst yourself, you will not have good fruit to eat. Therefore, their bid is still within the rational range, and it is unlikely that there will be a completely child's play price. At the same time, there is a range of bids, there is a cap for each price increase, and the auction also has a time limit, so most of the auctions end when Kaizi is extremely painful but can still afford to spend it. This is also a security measure, if you dare to kill the prince's son, the prince will directly send troops to raid the store.

This round of auction of a piece of goods is to light a lamp, when the boss of the old nine doors lit three lamps and burned his own harvest for half a year, in the end, it is estimated that the chasing one pondered, even three lamps are already considered to be famous in the four nine cities, and then point down, if they all light up their family's money, how can I marry? So I didn't let it order again, and as expected, the proposal was successful the next day. My grandfather said that the most important characteristic of a smart woman is that she knows how to do things properly.

And I only auction one masterpiece in the whole auction this time, Mrs. Huo is determined to win, I am afraid that I will not give up if I don't auction until the end, and I am afraid that it will not be enough to really bankrupt my family when this lamp is burned.

Suddenly I overcovered my head and entered a trance, cold sweat broke out like rain, something in my stomach was churning, and it was spicy until my lungs. I quickly took a sip of tea to suppress the cold sweat, and said that this time it was too big. What to do, what to do? Do you want to withdraw? How much risk will Laipi have later, will he be cut off and sent back to my house to ask for money? What is the probability of success for the fat man, me, and the stuffy oil bottle, they should be able to escape for the time being, I damn it, are they going to be chased by the underworld after being wanted?

Countless thoughts were chaotic in my head, and before I could sort out even a trace of thread, a guy took the gong and struck it around the field, and in an instant the whole field was silent, obviously, the auction had officially begun.

I didn't listen to what the cheongsam woman said at all, I only heard in a trance that the lowest price each time was 100,000, and the highest was 1 million, and my brain buzzed, and the back was even more inaudible.

I was completely unconscious during the whole process, my mind was in a mess, and I didn't know how I spent the whole hour, but what suddenly woke me up was the stuffy oil bottle, and he suddenly pressed his hand on my shoulder, which made me shiver.

I looked back at him, he didn't look at me, but looked downstairs without any expression, as if everything here had nothing to do with him, like a cold-blooded bodyguard, I suddenly felt that the fat man was not teaching too much, but his hand was squeezing my shoulder very hard, obviously with some intention.

I don't know what it means, but is it because I was blinded and told me that he was there to reassure me? But giving him such a pinch, maybe it was a reflex, and I suddenly really calmed down.

The scene was quiet, as if the bidding had stopped, I turned my head to look at the fat man, the fat man didn't know the meaning of lighting the sky lantern, the spirit was completely embedded in the atmosphere, and he wiped his sweat with a towel, it seemed that he was excited.

I settled down and picked up the tea and asked him what the situation was, and he said, "His grandmother's is almost 100 million!" I immediately squirted out a mouthful of tea and sprayed him all over the face.

He didn't care at all, wiped his hand, and continued: "Now it's time to rest, wait for the second half, and mention two million once, damn, you fat grandfather, I have a long experience." Pointing to the cheongsam girl who presided over the ceremony, she was counting the records just now in the middle of the stage, "This boudoir goddess, the bell will be rung when the price is called here, all the bells rang at the beginning, everyone chased the price, the scene was a mess, but this girl didn't hear it wrong, it was less than half a second, which bell rang, which bell rang first, she immediately knew that this ear was a fairy ear, she was going to get married, and her husband would never dare to call the second wife." He pointed to the pink shirt again, "This kid is also very good, he has been playing with his mobile phone, he hasn't even raised his head, and he shook the last bell before the break, it seems that he is determined to win, and he doesn't even want to have the strength to bid; He pointed at Mrs. Huo again, "The old woman hasn't come out once, and it looks like she's going to play big after increasing the size." ”

I scolded in my heart, I really have no morality, and I won't be more leisurely, I can't help but pity me when I ask for sky lanterns, I don't feel distressed when my mother spends money one by one, but it's meaningless, anyway, I can't take out a tenth of it, and there is no difference between one billion and one hundred million for me. In the end, I don't want to say it, even if their subordinates show mercy and cut their hands, I can't take out a million just if I am asked.

Then don't think about it, you can't take it out anyway, Laipi is Laiding, the safest way seems to be to wait and run away.

I whispered to the fat man the meaning of lighting the sky lantern, and the fat man still felt incredible, and he also became nervous and said, "Then what should I do?" Damn, I said that the old woman is so calm, dare us pay the bill. ”

I said softly: "What else can I do, this time this old woman wants us to look good, this disaster is a big deal, I don't see any clues, let's forget it, it's important to save your life, you think about it, let's find a chance to slip away." ”

"Slip away?" The fat man was stunned for a moment, and was a little reluctant, "It's not that serious, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, what can we do with Laipi?" We were also fooled by this old woman, and besides, we only watched the first half, maybe there will be a good show later, and it is really such a big price not to die if we don't watch it. ”

"You're a ghost, if we don't leave, it's really good." I said angrily, "If it's not serious, we will run away if we escape, and there will be a chance in the future, but if it's serious, I'll rely on it!" ”

"Well, I'll go around and see if I can sneak out." He nodded and looked at the cheongsam girl, "If it really doesn't work, let's jump off the stage and take that woman and the goods as hostages, this girl's ears are so good, it should be quite valuable." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the cheongsam woman in the audience was suddenly stunned for a moment, then raised her head, looked in our direction, and frowned.

I looked at her, and I chuckled in my heart, and I said, "No, you can hear this?" Busy made a quiet gesture to the fat man, and at the same time alluded to the cheongsam girl below.

The fat man smiled dumbly: "You are really serious, no matter how good your ears are, they will not be like this." She admires you very much and secretly glances at you. ”

As he spoke, he pinched his throat and whispered, "Big sister, we're going to run away later, can you hear me?" If you can hear it, come and arrest us, but it will be too late later. ”

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw the cheongsam girl looking at us, and her face became even more strange, and I felt that it was not good, damn it, it seemed that I could really hear it. Busy telling the fat man to shut up, but unfortunately it was too late, and when I saw her suddenly drink and point at us, the guy next to us immediately looked at us and rushed up the stairs.

Oops, I scolded badly, she really heard it! The fat man was also blindfolded, and he looked at the people who rushed up, and he was at a loss. In a flash of thought, a bottle of stuffy oil flashed past me like lightning, jumping straight down from the porch on the second floor.

I was stunned, and exclaimed everywhere, and saw that he had just fallen to the ground and flipped up, and then I exclaimed, and when I turned my head, I saw that the pink shirt was holding the railing of the porch with one hand, and the other hand was in my pocket, and it also turned down, and stopped in front of the stuffy oil bottle; On the other side, the fat man yelled, grabbed a stool, kicked down the screen, and threw himself at the hotel guy who rushed in.

The scene was directly chaotic.
