Chapter 76: The Auction (Part I)
Chu family.
The long dining table, draped with crimson velvet curtains, was filled with delicate and delicious food, and three people were eating.
They were far apart, and there was no one to talk to, except for the sound of knives rubbing against plates, rustling footsteps and the slight clashing of glasses as servants walked back and forth and poured wine.
At the end of the meal, the servant removed the plate and replaced it with hot tea, and the man sitting in the main seat said in a light tone: "Yunyi, how is your injury?" ”
Chu Yunyi took a sip of tea and replied, "It's better." ”
Chu Yu folded his fingers, put them on his lap, looked at his son who looked like him, and said, "Well, after recuperating for so long, no matter how bad it is, it shouldn't be." ”
Chu Yunyi hung his head and was silent.
"Since it's okay, from tomorrow onwards, you should walk around with the heirs of each family more and keep in touch with each other. These are your future contacts and allies, and you should not neglect them. The most important thing is that during the time you were recuperating from your injuries, rumors spread outside that your realm was declining, your mental power was exhausted, and you couldn't be a rune master anymore. ”
"The more you don't show up, the more arrogant the rumors will be, and even affect the Chu family's business and stock price, and the Chu Group will suffer huge losses. The quickest and best way to turn things around is for you to show up in public and the rumors will be shattered. ”
Chu Yunyi lowered his eyes, and he couldn't see emotion on his face.
"Big brother! Look at Yunyi's face, do you look like you're good? What he needs now is rest, not to connect with the juniors, not to perform in public! ”
Chu Ying slapped the table heavily, shaking the teacup and jumping. She really doesn't understand why the eldest brother always regards the interests of the family as more important than his own son!
"You know what! He is a member of the Chu family, and since he enjoys the family's offerings, he has to pay the price for the interests of the family, even if it is his life! ”
"Chu family, Chu family, your mind is full of Chu family, have you ever thought that he is your son, not a servant, let alone a tool!"
"Shut up!" Chu Yu was furious: "Without the Chu family, are you worthy of being the commander of the First Legion?" ”
"I ......"
Chu Ying concluded, she wanted to refute, but this was an indisputable fact.
The expenses of the four major legions are huge, military supplies, materials and weapons, grain, grass and equipment, etc., relying on government funds alone is far from enough to turnover, and each legion has the support of the family's capital chain behind it. The family invested in the legion, and the legion fed the family with the spoils of war, which was an open secret of the Qianyuan Continent.
The commander of the four major legions, in addition to having excellent military quality and strategic vision, also depends on whether the family behind him has huge economic strength and can afford the expenses of the legion.
Chu Ying admitted that her qualifications were not the best in the army, and if she didn't have the strong financial resources of the Chu family to back her up, she might not be able to sit in the position of commander of the First Legion.
"Father, second aunt, it's rare for you to come back, don't say a few words, don't hurt the harmony of the family."
Chu Yunyi persuaded.
"Father, I was about to tell you about this, Jiang Yuesheng invited me to participate in the auction of the Red Pavilion, and I agreed."
"Hmm. That's good. Chu Yu's face was a little pale, but in the end he still advised: "If you come across something that is useful to you, just buy it." ”
"Thank you, father."
Chu Yu got up to leave, and when he left, he threw down another sentence:
"Chu Ying, I know why you rushed back this time, that stinky boy has publicly rejected you, and he has humiliated the Chu family with nonsense, even if you are willing to post it upside down, I will never agree to you being with him. You'd better be reserved, don't drag the Chu family to be embarrassed with you! ”
Looking at Chu Yu's back, Chu Ying snorted coldly and glanced at her brother.
"Second aunt, my father is also for your good, the twisted melon is not sweet, he and his mother are living examples, I really don't want you to follow their old path."
"I know what I know."
Chu Yunyi lowered his head, his eyes full of helplessness. The Chu family is a character who does not look back after hitting the south wall, and persuasion is in vain, I hope she can wake up sooner.
"Yunyi, the military academy competition is about to start, are you still participating this year?"
Chu Yunyi smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Do you think my father will agree to my absence?" ”
Chu Ying's sword eyebrows immediately stood up: "Why do you listen to your father like that, he can do whatever he says, are his words immortal decrees?" ”
Chu Ying couldn't understand that if she was half as good as him at Chu Yunyi's age, she would have been crazy with her tail up to the sky. But the nephew's temper is as soft as a dough, and anyone can knead it.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law are all people who don't rub sand in their eyes, and they don't know who Yunyi's temperament is.
"This year is my last year in the reserve military academy, even if my father doesn't say it, I want to draw a successful end to my military academy career, and winning the championship of the military academy competition is undoubtedly the best handover."
Chu Ying sighed: "Okay, you have a good rest during this time, adjust slowly, and don't put too much pressure on yourself." If you don't feel well, don't force it. You still have a long way to go, and the champion of the military academy competition is only the most inconspicuous of the many honors in your life. The second aunt doesn't want to see you rush for quick success because of this little honor, leaving hidden dangers and affecting your good future. ”
"Got it." Chu Yunyi showed a smile that was faint to the extreme.
————————————
Today is the weekend, Li Xing originally planned to continue to go to the alchemy room for a day, but he knew that he was coerced by Cui Tianxiao and the three of them early in the morning, saying that he would take her to see the world.
The Red Pavilion, the largest auction hall in the entire Qianyuan Continent, has branches all over the Midtown and Shangcheng, and what they are going to today is the main hall located in Tianyi City.
From the outside, the Red Pavilion looks like an ordinary teahouse, but after entering, there is no cave.
The dome simulates the weather conditions in real time, so you can watch the frost and rain from the inside, but you won't really be caught by the wind and rain.
The interior decoration is extremely luxurious, the waiters are all handsome men and beautiful women, and the qualifications of Yuan Ling are not bad.
A young waiter respectfully sent four cloaks, and Ye Qingting took the initiative to solve Li Xing's doubts: "In order to ensure the safety and privacy of the guests, the Red Pavilion provides a hidden cloak for every guest who enters the hall to hide their bodies and faces. ”
Li Xing nodded, put the cloak on her body, and then looked at Cui Tianxiao, Ye Qingting and Qi Ming, although they were close at hand, she couldn't see the faces of the three of them clearly.
On the way from the door to the auction venue, they took a small scooter and drove for five minutes, and the walls were covered with calligraphy, calligraphy and paintings, all of which were famous masterpieces of the Qianyuan Continent, and there was nothing worth less than one million star coins.
Li Xing felt the fluctuations of the formation on the walls along the way, and it could be seen that the entire internal building was built on a large spatial array, and he couldn't help but be impressed by the Red Pavilion's generosity.
The waiter ushered the four of them into the VIP box on the second floor, bowed and exited.
Each box has an anti-prying charm array, so you can clearly see the outside from the inside, but you can't see the inside from the outside.
Cui Tianxiao lifted his hood, lay down on the sofa on all fours, pulled a few times on the light screen, and immediately transmitted three glasses of champagne and a glass of berry milk on the coffee table.
"Xing, how is it, the environment is okay, right?"
As far as Cui Tianxiao knows, there is no auction house in Datan, Li Xing must have never seen this kind of scene, and he happened to meet the auction of the Red Pavilion, so he grabbed the invitation of his third brother and brought his friends to join in the fun.
Yesterday, there were more than 150 recommended votes on the whole platform, and if you talk about it, you will add a more chapter today!
