Chapter 31: The Auction
At this time, Luo Fan undoubtedly became a high-profile person in the hall, and his big gesture suddenly became the focus of everyone's silent attention, and even many aristocratic girls secretly sent autumn waves to him.
It seems that girls always have some beautiful fantasies about love, hoping that one day their prince charming will suddenly appear and give themselves an unexpected surprise.
They felt very romantic about Luo Fan's magical way of showing his love just now, if it weren't for the fact that there were already guests around Luo Fan, it was very likely that he would have walked over directly and had close contact with this young man with a generous hand and a beautiful appearance.
"It's really interesting...... a young man in the VIP room on the second floor of the hall looked at Luo Fan below with interest, this person has a handsome and extraordinary face, dressed in ordinary clothes, but it is difficult to hide the natural royal atmosphere.
Luo Fan, who has a diamond-level VIP card, can naturally go to the second floor, but he declined Boss Xu's kindness, mainly because he wanted to see these two young people make a fool of themselves. At this moment, the two young men were no longer arrogant, and occasionally glanced at Luo Fan, in comparison, they were really like the mountain village husband. It's just that the one is called Man
Ling's woman was a little overwhelmed.
"What did he want to express when he gave me the necklace, did he ......" the woman thought so secretly, but from time to time she peeked at Luo Fan, and the latter occasionally looked at her, but smiled at her gently, and then she turned her gaze away in a panic, not daring to look at each other.
At this time, the auction officially kicked off.
Boss Xu walked up to the front desk auction office with a big belly, simply expressed his welcome to the VIPs, and explained some rules of auction competition, naturally the highest bidder won.
"Today's first auction item is a fine sword, this sword is cast of fine iron, hard, sharp, and light to carry, if there is a lady who likes to use a sword, this sword is very suitable, the starting price is 1,000 gold coins......"
"1,200 gold coins......"
"Fourteen Hundred Gold ......"
What followed was a sentence of bidding shouts, but Luo Fan was not half interested in this, and any weapon in the second elder's warehouse was better than this sword.
In the end, the saber was finally auctioned by a nobleman for 3,600 gold coins, which was far more than the real price of the saber, and it was supposed that the nobleman wanted to give it to a certain woman. Luo Fan just didn't expect that such a saber could sell for so many gold coins, but he was soon relieved, and some people asked for the price
In Bide, some people can't pull down, and the price naturally rises a lot, which is also the rule for auction houses to make money.
"Is this second auction item ......" Boss Xu smiled strangely. Under the expectant gaze of all the VIPs in the audience, the red cloth on the auction items was lifted. "This is a three-hundred-year-old blood ginseng, all of you are clear-eyed people, you can naturally see that this blood ginseng is a rare elixir, not to mention that this is a rare hundred-year-old blood
Ginseng, this blood ginseng has the effect of invigorating blood and removing blood stasis and dredging all veins, if it is qi deficiency, blood deficiency, or even kidney deficiency...... You can ...... by taking this blood ginseng" Saying this, Boss Xu showed a man's unique evil smile, and squeezed his eyes at the VIPs. This little action of some disrespect caused a burst of laughter in the hall, and the hearts of all the men were in their hearts
Naturally, I understand it very well.
That blood ginseng was moist and transparent, exuding a warm jade-like color, and it was indeed a rare elixir. Speaking of which, Luo Fan has also eaten this blood ginseng, but that blood ginseng is thousands of years old. At that time, he mistakenly thought it was just an ordinary elixir for blood nourishing and nourishing yuan, but as soon as he ate it...
The past is unbearable, and Luo Fan's lifeline is almost abolished.
"The starting price is three thousand gold coins!" shouted Boss Xu.
"Three thousand five hundred gold coins ......"
"I'll give you four thousand gold coins......"
"I'll give you 5,000 gold coins......"
In the uproar, Luo Fan was speechless, he didn't expect this thing that almost wasted himself to be so popular. And those bidders who shouted so loudly for fear of being robbed, were they not afraid of revealing something......
"I knew it was all such boring stuff, so I sold it and left. Luo Fan yawned lazily, and looked listlessly at the auction items that were not worth mentioning in his eyes.
This fell on the ears of the two young people, and immediately made them a little angry, they spent all their money and might not be able to buy one of those auction items, this time they came to this broken jade building mostly to see the excitement. Luo Fan's unintentional words made their faces very ugly, blue and white for a while.
"Young master, don't worry, the good things are behind. Guaranteed to have something you like. Xiao Si stood behind Luo Fan honestly, lowered his head and said in Luo Fan's ear.
"Oh, then I'd like to see ......"
Seven or eight lots have been auctioned, some of which are really interesting, even some extremely rare and exotic beasts, which are the favorite things of the aristocracy, and they like to buy some rare animals as pets.
The next lot of auction items is becoming more and more expensive and rare, and the bidders are endless.
"Young master, there will be something good in a while, you will definitely like it, hehe......" Xiao Si said in Luo Fan's ear, but his tone was a little weird.
"The last three auction items will appear one after another...... "Boss Xu is very capable and cunning of a businessman, even a mediocre auction item can be regarded as a rare good thing by him, and it can enliven the atmosphere of the audience, always bring laughter to everyone present, will not make everyone feel bored, and will not be cold."
"This seventh auction item is a magic crystal of a tenth-order fire-type demonic beast. Boss Xu lifted the red cloth, and on the delicate plate, a red magic crystal with red light appeared in front of everyone, the red magic crystal was brilliant and crystal clear, and the texture was warm. Boss Xu smiled and said, "Tenth-order fire-based top-grade magic crystal,
What are the magicians who are proficient in fire magic waiting for? This magic crystal can not only be used for magic, but also has great benefits for ordinary people, this magic crystal has no impurities, as long as it is slightly urged by true qi or magic, it can emit light and heat, even if it is dark, it can illuminate a radius of ten zhang. In winter, it is a holy relic, as long as it is worn
Even if you don't wear clothes in winter, you won't feel the slightest chill. ”
"The starting price, 35,000 gold coins!"
With Boss Xu's last offer, the next thing is to buy.
This kind of high-grade magic crystal is generally useless for cultivators who cultivate magic, and only the children of nobles with excellent family backgrounds can afford to buy it. In the end, the magic crystal was bought by a bidder for a whopping 65,000 gold coins.
The next auction item was a sword that was as sharp as clay, and Luo Fan was not interested, he preferred to use a sword, and even if he used a sword, there was a better sword.
At this moment, Luo Fan looked at Xiao Si with some anger, although he didn't speak, it was obvious, as if he was saying, "There is only one auction item left, and you can do it if you are not satisfied with me!" Xiao Si was also a little anxious about this, and smiled dryly, he didn't expect that Luo Fan couldn't look down on these things, so he could only pray
The next thing was satisfying for him.
"This last auction item, we have invited her to the stage......"
In an uproar, just when everyone was a little confused, a white figure walked to the stage, and everyone couldn't help but focus their eyes on the figure.
A slender and elegant figure, dressed in a holy light gauze white dress, and a delicate body in everyone's eyes, but it looks like this girl is not very old, only fourteen or fifteen years old, but her face is covered with a thin veil, and she can't see her face clearly.
"This is ......" Luo Fan's questioning gaze moved to Xiao Si, obviously not understanding what was going on right now.
The latter immediately explained, "Young Master, this is indeed the case at the auction, but don't worry, they are all voluntary, and these are all legal." There are people who are desperate or have to do it for some other reason, they have signed a contract. ”
Luo Fan couldn't help but think of the previous incident when the ghost forest enchantment collapsed and the fierce beasts ravaged the world. Although it was stopped in time, there are also many families who are ruined and live a life of displacement. Naturally, the national capital and the temple will not sit idly by, but after all, they can't control so many suffering.
"Everyone, please be quiet!" Boss Xu raised his voice suddenly, obviously knowing that this would lead to discussions, but after all, he was a sleek old man who had seen the world, and after everyone was quiet, he cleared his throat and said, "The last auction item today is this young lady, please don't object, the Broken Jade Building is a legitimate chamber of commerce, and it will never be."
Do something hurtful. This young lady is the youngest daughter of a down-and-out nobleman, and their family nobility has been stripped of their nobility and sent to the frontier, and now only this beautiful young lady remains. At the moment, this beautiful young lady is helpless, and we are naturally doing our best to hope to help her. And this auction lasts
The auction item is this beautiful young lady. They are all noble and caring people, and I don't think you will watch this beautiful young lady continue to live a helpless life, right?"
The head of the words is the Tao, even if some nobles have disgraceful calculations in their hearts, they now have the guise of dedicating love and helping others.
In fact, even if Boss Xu doesn't say so, there are many nobles who will compete for the auction, and there is a nobleman's daughter as his concubine or maid, what kind of scenery is that?
Boss Xu's words are very good, even if some people are embarrassed to speak, they are also borrowing an excuse to do good deeds.
Faced with such a scene, even if Luo Fan had some doubts in his heart, there was no way, after all, this was someone else's territory, and it was not his turn to take care of it.
"Very good, you are really kind-hearted and noble people, I will take off the veil of this beautiful young lady now, and the starting price is 200,000 gold coins!"
Boss Xu took off the woman's veil with one hand, and the guests in the audience were in an uproar, and they forgot to ask for a while.
The girl is only thirteen or fourteen years old, some of the green posture is a memorable taste, a pair of watery eyes look a little pitiful, the face is delicate and pretty, but it reveals a faint charm, the fair and tender skin has a kind of impulse to pinch it, and it is faintly visible that it is an excellent beauty embryo.
"I'll give 250,000!"
Finally, a voice suddenly broke the silence, and a thousand waves were set off!
"Don't rob me! I'll pay 300,000!"
"Old fellow, you have four wives and concubines who are like flowers and jade, and you still come to join in the fun, can you be in good health! I will pay 350,000 yuan!"
"Nonsense, I saw that this little girl had a pitiful background......"
"Damn, Boss Chen, you dare to rob me, aren't you afraid of your tigress......"
“......”
Luo Fan was completely stupid, this good auction turned out to be like this, this is simply street hooligans shouting and scolding.
The girl's expression on the stage was not turbulent, but in Luo Fan's eyes, there was an indescribable loneliness, as if she had been appointed, or this was more mourning than death.
Suddenly, a faint purple glimmer flashed in her clear eyes. Luo Fan was stunned, but this faint glimmer was somewhat familiar.
"Elven ......"
Luo Fan suddenly thought of something, the most remarkable thing about the elves besides their appearance and posture was the pointed ears. It's just that this girl's ears are the same as ordinary people, the only difference is naturally delicate and beautiful, and the small and white earlobes are like glossy pearls.
Maybe Luo Fan was sitting a little far away from the stage and saw it wrong, even if his pupil power was far different from ordinary people.
"A million!"
There was an uproar, and when the bidding price continued to soar to 650,000, Luo Fan still called out the price, because there was a shadow of Moyun in his heart.
At this time, the auction hall fell into calm for a while, and some people looked at this young man who had been in the limelight before. Some aristocratic girls had a hint of displeasure on their faces, as if they didn't expect that this young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes was also the kind of person who coveted beauty.
Boss Xu's words, how many people will believe it?
Luo Fan's financial resources were seen by the people sitting with their own eyes, and they rushed to the pile just now, each of which was worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and he was definitely capable of taking out a lot of money.
Boss Xu saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, but at this moment, he added fuel to the fire, and said, "This distinguished guest is now bidding one million, is there any higher? If not, then let this distinguished guest do this great good deed......"
"I'll give 1.2 million!"
Before the words fell, another person shouted.
"One and a half million. Luo Fan didn't raise his head and said.
At this time, even the girl on the stage looked at Luo Fan, only to see him drinking the tea that was already a little cool with his head down, but he seemed to be out of the way and didn't care about everything.
"Hmph, little brother, you have a lot of women to choose from when you are young, why do you insist on getting along with our lord?"
The voice came from the second floor on the stage, and there was a noble middle-aged man sitting in a single room on the second floor, with a slight anger on his face at the moment, obviously dissatisfied with Luo Fan's opposition to him. And the one who spoke was a butler standing behind him.
The housekeeper is also from some city governments, Luo Fan will naturally not be easily offended by making such a big move, and there are many young masters of princes and nobles who especially like this ordinary dress, and they are unwilling to show their heads and act low-key. Most of this housekeeper regarded Luo Fan as that kind of person.
"The broken jade building has been established for some years, and this rule is naturally obtained by the one with the highest price, and I saw that this little girl had a pitiful background, and I felt sympathy, and I just wanted to help as much as I could. Luo Fan paused, and then said, "I'm just afraid that this little girl will fall into the hands of some ill-intentioned people, so it will be really violent."
It's a heavenly thing. ”
"What do you mean by that......"
"Haha! This little brother said it well, you and I really hit it off at first sight!"
Hearing Luo Fan's words, the lord was also furious and was about to attack, but was interrupted by a sudden burst of laughter. This person was dressed ordinarily but revealed the spirit of the royal family, and his eyes were restrained, he stood up and walked to the railing on the second floor. At this time, the people also saw his face clearly.
At this time, the young man continued, "Steward Xu, this young lady is going to be decided, today I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha to this little brother as a meeting gift, I naturally will not spoil your business, if there is a higher price, I am willing to accompany you! Now I will give two million ......."
"His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince laughed, if His Royal Highness likes it, I will naturally be very happy in Broken Jade Building, and I just want to find a better place for this young lady to live. If His Highness likes it, the old decay will naturally have nothing to say. Now that His Highness has spoken......"
"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, I don't know if it's really offensive for the Emperor to be here. Boss Xu, I will pay three million to dedicate this young lady to His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince......" The lord was horrified at the moment, he didn't expect that there was such an unprovoked figure sitting next to him, and he was not even attentive at the moment.
