As he was talking, the Anya auctioneer on the stage had already asked, "This gentleman in seat 197, do you need to pay in cash, do you want to get the auction item now?"
"Yes. Lin Feng said, put the bag back at his feet, then reached into the cloth bag, took out a large handful of gold coins, put them on the table, and made a loud noise.
Then, another handful.
One by one, the table was soon filled. Lin Feng said: "Well, three thousand gold coins...... Add one more. ”
As he spoke, he took out another one from the bag, threw it with his hand, clanged, and landed on the table.
The table of golden coins was bright and shining, and everyone was speechless for a while.
Then, I saw two men in black masks, holding a large scale, leading five women in red low-cut tight-fitting satin robes to come over with five plates covered with red cloth.
Then they swept the gold coins from the table onto the weighing pans of the great scales, and weighed them. A man in a black mask said: "Thirty-seven thousand five hundred and twelve grams, a full three thousand and one gold coins, one is not much, and one is not much." ”
The surrounding crowd was stunned at first, and then there was an uproar.
Three thousand and one gold coins may not sound like a lot, but no one present can count the gold coins so clearly after grabbing a few handfuls at random.
If anyone doesn't believe me, you can grab 3,000 and 1 rice from a bag of rice and see if it can be so accurate.
At this time, I heard Lin Feng say: "A gold coin is 12.5 grams, so it is still 0.5 grams missing, I don't know if your scale is not accurate enough or the gold coin is worn." ”
As he spoke, he flipped his hand over to reveal a gold coin, and then grabbed it lightly, pinched the gold coin into a gold pill, rubbed a small ball, and threw it on the scale: "Okay, make up for 0.5 grams, it's a lot." ”
The expressions of the surrounding people under the masks all changed slightly, and their scalps were numb.
The gold coins of this world are not pure gold, but are mixed with certain metals to make it hard and strong, so that it will not be scraped off.
That Lin Feng was able to knead gold into a ball without fighting spirit, and this alone was enough to show that his strength was extraordinary. If he shoots with all his might, I'm afraid no one present will be able to stop him, right?
As soon as he thought about it, he heard the masked man in black say with surprise: "Thirty-seven thousand five hundred and twelve twelve .5 grams!!"
In an instant, everyone couldn't help but gasp, and the auction hall was filled with the sound of inhalation.
For a while, everyone's eyes looking at Lin Feng changed, no longer looking at the eyes of a nouveau riche rich man, but full of awe, looking at the eyes of a martial arts master.
There was silence and silence. Everyone only watched quietly as several beautiful women from the auction held gold coins on their plates and walked into the background with the two men in black masks. Then, someone personally handed over the jade Ruyi to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng took Ruyi, only to feel that his hands were warm and moist, and there was a feeling of coldness. After looking closely, I found that this jade Ruyi was actually carved from pieces of mutton fat nephrite, and I couldn't help but admire: "Good jade!!"
If it is on the earth, this jade Ruyi is not to mention an antique, even if it is a modern product, it will never be exchanged for a few million catties of grain.
It's a pity that people in this world don't care much about jade, and they don't pay much attention to jade, so they will sell this jade Ruyi cheaply.
Moreover, when it comes to the earth, not to mention antiques tens of thousands of years ago, even if it is a ruyi made of bronze before the Tang Dynasty, it can be exchanged for more than a few million catties of grain.
But it's a pity that there are too many antiques in this world, tens of thousands of years ago...... Scarcity is expensive, and if there are more antiques, it will be cheaper. Therefore, the average antique is not very valuable.
Just as Lin Feng was looking at this jade Ruyi and trying to inject true qi into it, the Anya auctioneer on the stage had already shouted: "Okay, thank you Mr. One Hundred and Ninety-Seven for auctioning off the ancient mysterious item, and ...... next."
Halfway through the words, I heard Lin Feng in the audience laugh and said: "It's really a big profit, this jade Ruyi can be preserved so well for tens of thousands of years, it's really rare." You don't have to worry about hurting your skin. ”
Although his voice was not loud, it contained true qi and could be heard by the entire venue.
For a moment, Anya's auctioneer was stunned, and the words he had just said were stuck only halfway through.
And the other people in the entire auction hall were all stunned, one by one, like puppets, they subconsciously turned their heads and looked at Lin Feng in a daze.
The entire auction hall was so quiet that you could hear the sound of a needle falling to the ground.
After a while, there was an uproar from the whole scene: "He recognizes that mysterious object?!! that thing is called 'Ruyi'?!!"
"Isn't it? Maybe it's nonsense...... That's something that even some of the most prestigious archaeologists in the empire can't recognize!!"
"Impossible, how could he recognize ?!!"
Those people all looked at Lin Feng with suspicion.
At this time, the Anya auctioneer on the stage couldn't help asking: "Dear Mr. One Hundred and Ninety-Seven, may I ask...... Do you recognize that jade artifact?"
"Yes, this thing is called Ruyi, because it is made of jade, so it is called Jade Ruyi. ”
Lin Feng said, holding the jade Ruyi in his hand and shaking it.
Anya was stunned and asked a question that everyone else present was concerned about: "Excuse me...... Can I be honored to know what this thing called Jade Ruyi does?"
Lin Feng nodded: "Of course you can." In fact, it's not very useful, this jade Ruyi is generally used to tickle, just like the folk 'don't ask for people'. ”
"Don't ask for ?!!" Anya obviously didn't know the meaning of the name either.
"Huh. Lin Feng smiled and said, "It's just a small thing used to scratch the back, which is what people often call tickling." Because using that little thing, the back is itchy, and you don't need to ask others, you can scratch it yourself, which is called 'not asking for others'. As he spoke, he stroked the jade Ruyi on his back.
The people around listened to it, and they were all moved, but they didn't make a sound.
Although Lin Feng said that it was a bit vulgar to say that scratching itches in this kind of place, many so-called elegant things were not just a little vulgar things that were packaged?
Moreover, who of the people present has never had an itchy back? Even the kind of "tickling" that Lin Feng mentioned has been used by everyone here. After all, there are similar inventions in this world. It's just that "don't ask for people" is not as good as it.
Moreover, that "don't ask for people" is not as delicate and elegant as the jade Ruyi in Lin Feng's hand.
Just imagine, if you hold a jade Ruyi as delicate as Lin Feng's hand...... Or something the same in style, but more ornate. Others regard it as a treasure, but they are only carefully placed in the collection room as a precious offering, and they are reluctant to take it out and display it casually. However, in his own hands, this thing is only for scratching...... Just thinking about it, I feel a compelling atmosphere of wealth and wealth.
Therefore, none of the people present made a sound, but listened quietly, but most people still couldn't help but be a little disapproving, thinking: Although the name is good, in the end, it is still just a nice itch. Tickling utensils, no matter how nice they sound, can't be on the table.
was thinking about it, but heard Lin Feng say again: "In ancient times, there was not only jade Ruyi, but also gold Ruyi made of gold. But later, all the ruyi was made of jade, and only the upper class could use it...... Miss Anya, do you know why?"
Anya shook her head: "I also want to ask the respected Mr. One Hundred and Ninety-Seven." ”
Lin Feng smiled: "Because if you use gold to create Ruyi, it will look too tacky, and if you use gemstones containing energy to create it, it will look too luxurious." Therefore, in ancient times, people liked to use jade to make zuòruyi.
"Jade is warm and hard, and it doesn't hurt the skin. Moreover, the stone quality of jade is 'white' and 'hard', so the person who wears jade products with him is to use the jade on his body to symbolize his own morality as white and warm as jade, and his character is as upright and resolute as jade. It means that he is a man of great virtue, a noble gentleman, a nobleman among nobles, and an extremely noble man. ”
The people around listened to it and frowned, and they felt that what Lin Feng said didn't sound like nonsense.
It's just that...... It's a bit surprising that these words could come from the mouth of an "upstart?!!
Moreover, will there be other meanings and special uses for that jade Ruyi?
So, one of the guests in the hall who participated in the auction said tentatively: "Sir, you have said so much, but in fact, it is just a gadget for scratching, and it is something that cannot be put on the table after all." ”
Lin Feng smiled slightly: "It's not just about scratching an itch." Do you know why this thing is called 'wishful' and not 'not 'not begging' or 'tickling'?"
As he spoke, he looked around for a while, and then said lightly: "That's because some nobles in ancient times liked to take an elixir called 'Wushi San', and after eating it, the whole body qi and blood activities increased rapidly, giving people a feeling of being fluttering as if they would fly to the sky and become a fairy at any time, and at the same time, it would also cause the body to itch."
Therefore, in addition to preferring to wear a wide garment to dissipate heat, they are also accustomed to wearing a jade ruyi with them. Where is uncomfortable on the body, as soon as Ruyi arrives, it will be comfortable. Ruyi everywhere, everywhere Ruyi. That's how this wishful name came about.
"So, in antiquity, it was something that only the aristocracy could play with. Moreover, people who are not virtuous enough or who have deficient moral conduct will be criticized for using ruyi made of jade without flaws.
"Just because this jade Ruyi is rare, people who don't have a certain status can't use it casually. Therefore, in the literature of ancient times, the literati also added a lot of special meanings to this jade ruyi in various hand-me-down scrolls.
"For example, many books believe that the word 'Ruyi' in this jade Ruyi contains the meaning of 'auspicious Ruyi', which is an auspicious instrument that can bring good luck to people. Therefore, this jade ruyi is often decorated with various patterns representing auspiciousness...... Just like this wishful Ganoderma lucidum, it means longevity...... Well, if it is an old Ganoderma lucidum, it can help people live longer, and I believe everyone here also understands this. ”
Speaking of this, the people around him exclaimed in surprise, muttering in their hearts: "No wonder it looks so familiar, it turns out that this is Ganoderma lucidum......"
I only heard Lin Feng say again: "In addition, look again: this Ruyi's head is slightly bent...... There is also a meaning in this, which contains the philosophical idea of 'turning back is wishful'. It means that 'if a person is not a sage, who can be without fault?' and if he makes a mistake, he will turn back, which is a great good', and the so-called 'the prodigal son will not change his money'.
"Therefore, some aristocratic families will also use this jade ruyi to beat the children who have done the wrong thing, which means that the children who have accidentally done the wrong thing will know how to turn back and not make mistakes again......"
Speaking of this, Lin Feng paused and glanced around the entire hall.
I saw that the people in the hall all turned their heads and listened to him quietly, apparently most of them believed what he said.
Immediately, he smiled slightly and said, "In addition, this jade Ruyi has a little interesting use. Guess what's ?!! used for?"
