Chapter 193: Treasures Gathered
Lifting a heavy hanging curtain embroidered with dark lines, the venue was densely packed with people.
Since there were only 10 seats in the third class, they were arranged to sit together at the back of the second class.
At this time, the dignitaries and nobles in the second class had already waited a little anxiously, but there were many rules in the underground auction, and they strictly followed the rules in order to be able to auction the items they dreamed of, and did not dare to make noise or move around at will.
The officials and wives, who were usually high-spirited, sat quietly in their places like quails at this time, occasionally exchanging a few words with their companions in a very low voice.
"You sit here."
The guard pointed to the two empty spaces at the back, "Remember, don't move around!" ”
Xiao Ruofeng lifted his hand and settled Su Qingtian into his seat, and he took out five taels of silver from his waist with his hand, and stuffed it into the guard's hand without a trace.
"Dare to ask the official, what should I do if I want to go to the toilet?"
Pinching the silver in his palm, the guard stretched out a finger and pointed in the direction of a small door next to him.
"That's it, just go quietly."
"Thank you, sir." Xiao Ruofeng shook his hands and sent the two guards away very politely.
After their figures disappeared behind the curtain, Xiao Ruofeng sat down beside Su Qingtian.
Although the rules of underground auctions are strict, there is no shortage of courtesy.
On the small table in front of him were four or five kinds of pastries, as well as two pots of tea.
I picked up a pot and poured two cups, the tea just flowed out of the spout, and the refreshing fragrance also entered the nasal cavity.
It is indeed a top-notch hair tip, and the other pot must also be a good thing.
In the past, in the upper realm, every time Uncle Xiao came back from a trip to the small world, he would bring back the best food for Su Qingtian, so the little girl didn't think there was anything about these things at all.
However, the five-colored pastries in front of her attracted her more, although Xiao Yezi served a table of successful brunch, but she couldn't stop her from being hungry, and she was already faintly hungry.
picked a piece of pleasing pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, and after taking a bite, Su Qingtian squinted happily.
Not to mention, it's really delicious.
Compared with the more rugged factions in Fengcheng, the pastries in the capital are indeed exquisite.
The palate is rich in layers and the taste is relatively delicate.
Su Qingtian compared it in her heart while eating, and was ready to choose the best one to take back in her pocket for a while.
Compared with Su Qingtian's leisure, Xiao Ruofeng on the side was vigilant and never let go.
Through the mask's eyes, he swept over and over the heads of the people moving in front of him, trying to see if there were people he knew or knew about them.
But those who can come to this underground auction are not idle people, and most people choose to cover their faces for their own safety, after all, this group of people are either pregnant with strange treasures or have thousands of dollars in their pockets, and they don't want to be targeted afterwards.
If you provoke a murderer and steal treasure, won't the gain outweigh the loss?
Some big families are very cautious to bring many disciples with them, while those who do not have family power choose to hire thugs to ensure their safety.
Everyone unanimously chose to keep a low profile, and in order not to attract attention, even the carriage parked outside was covered with a thick curtain.
Only Xiao Ruofeng and Su Qingtian, who are wearing demon masks, are very special, and such conspicuous masks will become the focus of attention when swept at will.
Because of this, the two of them attracted the attention of some people in the second class soon after they took their seats.
"I said, brother, why did you bring such a mask?"
The fat man wearing a Zhu Bajie mask sitting on Xiao Ruofeng's side lowered his voice and leaned over to speak, "This mask is too eye-catching, it's easy to be targeted!" ”
"My niece likes it."
Xiao Ruofeng noticed the kindness in the other party's words, and naturally replied softly, "She likes it, so I will follow her." ”
As he spoke, he reached out and wiped the jujube paste stuffing hanging from the corner of her mouth for the little girl.
The fat man glanced at Su Qingtian, who was busy eating, and changed the topic.
"Which treasure are you coming for today?"
As he spoke, the fat man turned his head to see that no one was approaching on Thursday, and his voice was three points lower, "Wouldn't it be for the Bamei screen!" ”
This question was abrupt, obviously the fat man cared about the screen very much, and was afraid that there would be too many people snatching from him, and it would be more reassuring to be able to exclude one.
"It's not."
Xiao Ruofeng simply denied it.
"It's good if it's not!"
The fat man patted his chest comfortably and grinned, "I came for it, I heard that this screen will automatically emit the joy of heaven as soon as it enters the night, and it will be leisurely and tactfully around the beam for three days!" ”
"Brother, do you know why it's called the Eight Beauty Screen?"
Seeing the fat man's excited face, Xiao Ruofeng shook his head lightly, "I don't know." ”
Except for the medicinal herbs he wanted, Xiao Ruofeng had not investigated the rest of the treasures.
"Because there are eight vivid beauties painted on it!"
As if he already had a screen, the fat man leaned a little closer, "If she gets the favor of one of the eight beauties, she can still come out of the screen and fall in love with me." ”
"Even if it's for the beauty, it's worth spending all this money!"
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.
Su Qingtian took a bite of the mung bean cake and turned her head to look at the fat uncle.
"If a screen can be so magical, why not give it to the emperor and put it up for auction?"
The fat man who asked in a soft and glutinous voice was speechless.
"Or, maybe there are more of these treasures in the palace!"
This was the best reason he could think of, but Su Qingtian's words finally made the fat uncle who talked a lot quiet, and stopped chattering with Xiao Ruofeng.
"I don't know where His Royal Highness King Jin found so many rare treasures."
An old man-like figure sitting behind them spoke, but his voice clearly did not match his overly old countenance, which appeared to be wearing a human skin mask, and the dividing line hidden in his collar was evident when he looked up.
"The stone koi fish that can come alive when placed in the water, as well as the rare cold ice grass blades in Lingshan for thousands of years, and the secret treasures that can only be dug up in the center of the desert."
"These things are so much more powerful than the auction five years ago."
As soon as the topic began, several people whispered to each other.
Xiao Ruofeng listened to the people around him talk about the magic of today's lot, and he was secretly making up his mind.
In any case, even if he pays all his money and assets, he will take the medicinal materials to treat his eldest brother!
Su Qingtian could have directly detoxified Xiao Hanyue, but after all, the eldest uncle was a mortal, and forcibly detoxifying the poison had strong side effects, which might not be helpful to his future recovery.
It is better to wait a little longer than to pull out the seedlings to help them grow, because there is indeed a medicine in this auction that can remove all the toxins without the eldest uncle being harmed.
This is the main reason why Su Qingtian followed Xiao Ruofeng here.
If the peerless medicinal materials were not suitable medicinal materials, she would definitely not let the third uncle spend money in vain.
"Bang!"
The sound of a clear gong sounded, making the whole venue instantly quiet.
