Chapter 388, Flower Boat, Strange Gathering
The cabin is quite large, and it is arranged like a hall.
There were seats on either side, each large chair was separated by a screen, and the top of the cabin fell in an arc, and the middle hanging position happened to fall on the face of the person sitting on the chair.
In the dim light, the people who entered the hatch couldn't see who was in the hall at all, there were two positions, there were people sitting in one position, and there was no one in the other position, Yu Xijiao wanted to see it again, and a small servant came over and led them to the left position, the closest position to the door.
Feng Yu sat down on the wide chair in the middle, and the little servant brought a brocade stool and placed it next to the chair, and Yu Xijiao sat down.
Pastries and tea had already been placed on the table in front of the chairs, and after the little servant poured two glasses for them, he quietly retreated behind the curtain behind, and there was no movement during the whole process, and the people who had just greeted them outside did not come in.
Yu Xijiao's shoulders were hugged by Feng Yu, and her body involuntarily leaned towards him, Feng Yu didn't speak, she didn't make a sound, everything here was a little weird.
No one spoke, and no one sat down on the other side.
The hatch opened again, and this time two more people entered, two men, one in front of the other and one behind, obviously of different identities, both wearing wide cloaks, and their faces could not be seen.
The two men coincidentally sat across from them.
One sat on the main seat, and the other sat on the brocade stool brought by the servant.
Then a few people came in sporadically, basically one or two people, men and women, but they all wore cloaks and hoods covering their faces, and the boat stopped one by one, one or two people came up at each stop, and then continued to move forward, the music was still melodious outside, and there was a faint sound of women laughing.
This is a flower boat, and it is not a small flower boat.
The flower boat is often a place where the sons of those families spend a lot of money, and these people come from this kind of place who are looking for flowers and asking willows, and there are also some literati and scholars, but these people Yu Xijiao can't guess who they are.
The brim of the cloak fell, and when she came out, her hair was only tied with a ribbon casually, and Feng Yu's hand was not for a moment, gently stroking her hair.
This kind of action should have made people feel ambiguous, but Yu Xijiao didn't notice it, her eyes looked at the three people who had just come in, her long eyelashes fluttered twice, a trace of hesitation flashed, and her shoulders tensed involuntarily.
This is the first time I saw three people coming in, one in front of the other and two behind, three people went to the middle, the front one sat on the first of the middle, two brocade stools, and the two people in the back sat down.
After sitting down, the man coughed heavily, and the low, noisy voices on either side stopped.
The little guy came out from behind, respectfully presented a list in his hand to Feng Yu, Yu Xijiao sat up straight, reached out to take it, and handed it to Feng Yu.
The little guy stepped back again.
A person who looked like a steward appeared in the cabin, smiled and made a circle to the people around him: "Everyone, this time everything is on this, if you have something you like, you can bid, and the one with the highest price will get it." ”
Yu Xijiao's eyes raised, she was slightly stunned, and felt that she seemed to have some impressions, and the hand that held Feng Yu on her shoulder was slightly hard, and she leaned over again, looking at the list in Feng Yu's hand in the faint light.
The first piece, the seven-star glass cup
The second piece, the Hanyu Tianxiang pot
The third piece, the half-power pen
……
The seven-star glass cup is said to be the favorite treasure of a queen in the previous dynasty, for this seven-star glass cup, and the emperor's favorite concubine at that time two fights, and finally even caused a dispute between the two families, ending with the defeat of the favorite concubine, the favorite concubine has a family was wiped out.
This seven-star glass cup is also known as the seven-star extinguishing cup.
I heard that the queen later sent the seven-star glass cup to her mother's house, but in the end she was lost in the troubled times.
Hanyu Tianxiang pot and half-power pen are also treasures, and Yu Xijiao has only heard of it, but she didn't expect to hear it here.
This kind of collectible treasures, many people are not willing to let people know that they are collecting, so as not to give birth to new things, so there is such an arrangement.
So, this is the secret meeting of treasures that Yu Lanxuan once heard from her uncle?
Under the long eyelashes, a pair of eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
In the last life, Yu Lanxuan saw a scroll painting in Anqinghe, and liked it very much, but the little uncle also liked it, and was reluctant to give it to Yu Lanxuan, and then there was no way to grind it, so she didn't have a good way, and next time she must go to the treasure secret meeting to give Yu Xijiao a better one for her.
And then Yu Lanxuan really received another painting of the same person that An Qinghe sent her.
Yu Lanxuan asked curiously about the treasure secret meeting, An Qinghe glared at her, and told her that this kind of place was not something she could go to as a boudoir woman, so don't think about it.
directly dispelled Yu Lanxuan's thoughts, but this matter also left an imprint in Yu Lanxuan's heart, knowing that there is such a place where you can find good things.
The little guy turned out from behind again, presented pen and ink, and Feng Yu said: "If you like it, you can circle it yourself." ”
Yu Xijiao sat up slightly, she really liked a thing, she had it before, she didn't expect to see a similar one here, she was silent for a while and was not polite, she reached out and took the pen from the little girl's hand, and drew a circle in one place she liked, and then put the pen down.
"Don't like anything else?" Feng Yu asked lazily.
Yu Xijiao nodded.
Feng Yu didn't ask any more, picked up the pen, circled a few more places, and then wrote down the price, and finally gave the list to the little guy.
The little guy respectfully took it and stepped back.
Yu Xijiao's eyes looked at the opposite side again, the two on the opposite side were closest to her, and her eyes involuntarily looked at the opposite side, and she always felt that there was a figure that was a little familiar.
One by one, the list was sent to the steward's office, and when all were collected, the steward picked up a list and summarized it on the spot, and two men who looked like stewards came out to help him summarize it together.
Pick up a slip and quote the items circled above, along with the bids written on the back of the items.
After reporting one after another, and finally all the reports were completed, the two stewards in the back stepped down, leaving the previous stewards alone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the price has already been quoted, in fact, everyone already knows it in their hearts, I will quote it again here."
After speaking, a few people bid for each item, and the highest number was reported, and the so-called highest person is the person who gets the thing.
One by one, after all the items were reported, there were small servants who sent things to the winners of their highest prices, and Feng Yu sent a lot of them, which were placed on the table in front of him one by one.
Yu Xijiao likes a red coral ornament, which is not large, but it is very exquisite.
There are many coral ornaments in the shape of rockeries, and this garden-like coral ornament in front of her has only seen one.
At first glance, when she saw the ornament in front of her, Yu Xijiao's eyes shrank suddenly, she didn't expect this ornament to be the one she used to have.
Red coral ornaments, between the high and low staggered, you can see faintly rockery, flowing water, and even a few delicate and blooming flowers, red and gorgeous, enchanting flowers and leaves through the branches and forks of coral, slowly blooming, like a beautiful scenery made of red coral.
This plate of coral ornaments is red and gorgeous, such as the branches of flowers, which are extremely beautiful and gorgeous, and the branches and forks outlined are like gems, but they have the purity of natural carving.
I exhaled deeply, and there was a dull pain in my heart.
That red coral used to be her favorite, a treasure that her father found, and later when her grandmother was on her birthday, she gave her grandmother a coral ornament.
Feng Yu put on a hood for her and stood up with her, Yu Xijiao's eyes left the ornaments, and the little girl put away these objects, put them into the special box one by one, and carefully followed them with the box.
Gathering her thoughts, Yu Xijiao looked around, this treasure meeting should be over, and some people stood up, and the little guy packed up his things and followed them.
Everyone is staggered, and they all deliberately stagger the time with others, and when someone goes out, they just wait a little.
Feng Yu and Yu Xijiao were at the door, and the two of them could get out of the cabin when they turned out, but they didn't have to look at it like others, wait and wait.
The participants were more or less gained, but everyone hid it tightly, and it was not clear who it was, and there was no meaning for everyone to greet each other.
Feng Yu took Yu Xijiao to the door, and the little guy guarding the door was about to open the hatch, when he suddenly heard a voice coming: "This son, please stay." ”
Feng Yu stopped, Yu Xijiao tilted her head slightly, and looked to the side, it turned out to be one of the two men opposite, which would give them a deep sneer.
"What?" Feng Yu asked lightly.
Yu Xijiao's gaze fell on the man who was saluting them, and a trace of deep suspicion slipped through her eyes, and she couldn't see it clearly from a distance, but now she was facing it in person and spoke.
Not far behind the man stood another man, both of whom wore the same cloak and were about the same height.
"This son, can you take a step to speak?" The man said.
"Let's talk about it outside." Feng Yu said lightly, and walked out with Yu Xijiao, and the two men also followed.
Coming out of the cabin, it was immediately much more comfortable, the dim lights, and the shadow-dotted figures made the boat a little more dull, but now it was just right.
The music stopped, and it was as if it were just a few of them.
The boat had stopped, leaning against the shore, a slightly secluded place, like a bend in a river, at this time there were many people standing on the shore, the east and the west were distinct, they should be the servants of each family, their subordinates, or their guards.
There were no lights, and people stood in the shadows.
Feng Yu took Yu Xijiao to the side of the boat, and the two men followed.
"This son, can you sell a few things? Rest assured, you won't be at a loss. The man stood still and said to Feng Yu.
"What do you want?" Feng Yu said lightly.
The man took out a list from his arms and handed it to Feng Yu, which had been prepared early, "This son, please take a look." ”
Yu Xijiao stretched out her hand to take it and handed it to Feng Yu.
I saw it clearly in a wrong eye, one of them was my own red coral ornaments, and my eyes were deep, and I actually wanted my own red coral ornaments?
This man...... I really don't know what to do......
