Chapter 13: Three Feet Three

It didn't take long for Li Chouxin to reach the second and second floors.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Xu Sanqiu saw Li Chouxin, and quickly stepped forward to greet him, "Li Gongzi is here, and our activities tonight are about to start." ”

"Activities? What activities? Why didn't you talk about it this morning? Li Chou was a little puzzled.

"I'll know this when Li Gongzi goes in, and now that I'm talking about it, there will be no mystery." Xu Sanqiu replied with a smile towards Li Chouxin.

Li Chou's face was full of doubts, but he didn't ask any more, but sped up his pace and entered the second and second floors with Xu Sanqiu.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Chouxin looked around, only to see that the middle part of the building was hollow, from the top of the third floor to the ground to form a square area, a beautiful chandelier from top to bottom to the second floor, the lights above were bright and dark under the breeze, but it did not affect the vision of the building. There are rooms and viewing platforms on all sides, and the decoration of each floor is very interesting, and the remaining area on the first floor is a platform that connects to the room in the middle of the door, and it is from this room that the characters who want to come to the usual activities or performances should come out.

Just as Li Chouxin was still looking around, Xu Sanqiu pulled Li Chouxin straight to the second floor, and Li Chouxin asked, "Is there any difference between this floor and the second floor?" ”

Xu Sanqiu did not hesitate this time, and said: "Of course there is a difference, there is a distinction between each floor of the second and second floors, most of the general consumers can only stay on the first floor, only VIPs can go to the second floor, as for the third floor, except for the special person who has obtained the permission of the landlord to go upstairs, usually only the landlord and the landlord's entourage are on it." ”

Li Chou listened to the words of the preface Sanqiu, and was even more determined in his heart that there must be some secret on the second and second floors.

Xu Sanqiu pulled Li Chouxin all the way to a room on the second floor and sat down, the room was facing the platform on the first floor, which could be said to be unobstructed.

Xu Sanqiu said: "Li Gongzi, this is specially ordered by the landlord to arrange for you, usually this house will only be used to entertain the landlord's favorite VIPs. ”

After saying that, Sanqiu retreated.

Li Chouxin was confused, how he suddenly became the guest of honor favored by the landlord, it was really incredible.

Just as Li Chouxin was looking at the various decorations in the house, there was a gong sound downstairs, and Li Chouxin walked to the window to take a look, only to see a girl walking out of the room connected to the platform and going up to the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the little girl is the host of the piano tonight, in addition to the wonderful singing and dancing performance today, there will be a small auction party later."

After the woman finished speaking, she motioned for the show to begin.

After a while, the musician and the dancer went to the stage and began to perform, just as Li Chouxin was watching the performance, the door behind him suddenly opened, Li Chouxin turned his head to look when he heard the sound, and saw a beautiful girl walking in, until Li Chouxin came to him.

"Li Gongzi is good, the little girl is one of the four personal maids of the landlord, and she came to serve Li Gongzi at the will of the landlord." After the woman finished speaking, she lowered her body and looked at Li Chouxin.

Li Chou was a little overwhelmed by this, and hurriedly said: "The girl doesn't have to be polite, the landlord is kind and worried, but the sorrow is used to being alone, so there is no need to serve, and I also asked the girl to go out and close the door, which annoys the girl." ”

Shuyi said with some embarrassment: "Gongzi Li, the little girl who wants the landlord doesn't dare to disobey, but Shuyi doesn't want to disturb Gongzi Yaxing, how is this good?" ”

"That's it, then you can stay, you don't need to wait, just tell me about the second and second floors, when I first came to Erling, I couldn't help but be a little curious." Li Chou thought about it for a while, and said to the book.

"I don't know what Li Gongzi wants to hear?" Shuyi said.

"Let's talk about the four handmaidens first."

"The four maids are the personal service of the landlord, and they have grown up with the landlord and the landlord since they were children, saying that they are maidservants, and they are deeply loved by the landlord, so in addition to the landlord on the second and second floors, some of our sisters can still call the shots. The eldest sister is Qinyin, who is responsible for the singing and dancing performances in the building, and all matters related to the rhythm of singing and dancing are judged by her, and she is the one who presides over the downstairs just now; The second sister speaks the language, in fact, the second sister and the eldest sister are proficient in music, but the difference between the two is that the eldest sister never performs in front of people, and the second sister is just the opposite, but it is generally only arranged by the landlord to play for important guests. I'm the third book.,Listen to the name to know it's related to the book.,It's the landlord's companion reading since childhood.,The landlord likes to listen to books on weekdays.,It's up to me to complete the explanation; Little sister chess rhyme, proficient in chess skills and strategy, only follow the young lady on weekdays, generally do not appear in front of people, unless there is a great ability in chess to patronize, will come out to face the game. Shuyi patiently explained.

After listening to this, Li Chou felt that these two and two floors should not be underestimated, and even the four maidservants had this ability, and they had to deal with it carefully, so he said: "These two and two floors are really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, no!" It should be Jinlou Zangjiao, this time it is really an eye-opener, and I must understand it if I have the opportunity. ”

Shuyi's mood eased a little at this time, and said: "Li Gongzi said that he laughed, my sisters are just maidservants next to the landlord, and they are actually not so godly. ”

Li Chouxin shook his head, "The scholarly girl doesn't have to be modest, tell me about the second and second floors again." ”

"Childe, that's a long story, in fact, these two floors were not called two or two floors before, and they weren't like this now, before my landlord came here, this was the most famous green building in the whole Goring, it was called Shen Yan Lou at that time, at that time, the people of the three religions and nine streams gathered here, dirty, and often caused some chaos, but then after the lady became the landlord, she changed this building to two or two floors, dismissed some of the previous women, and some of them gave them a severance pay to let them go back, homeless and unwilling to leave, The landlord let them stay, but it is no longer the status of a Qinglou woman who meets the various requirements of the guests before, but only accompanies wine and performs, and does not sell her body now, which is also a good thing. Later, in order to improve the quality of the second and second floors, the landlord stipulated that all those who enter the store must consume more than two taels, drink more than two taels and other rules, so that some gangsters who want to come in and rub oil will retreat because they have no capital to know the difficulty. So there is the second and second floors that Childe sees now. ”

"I can't imagine that there is such a tortuous process on the second and second floors, so it seems that your landlord must also be a warm-hearted and thoughtful person." Li Chouxin nodded.

It was also at this time that the downstairs singing and dancing ended. The voice of the piano came again, "Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's auction has begun, there are three lots tonight, the lots are limited, please seize the opportunity, the highest price will win." ”

Li Chouxin turned his head and asked Shuyi: "Shuyi girl, is there such an auction every day?" ”

"This auction is not held every day, only if there are more than three lots will be held on a later date, because the landlord has high requirements for the quality of the lots, and the general lot will not enter the eyes of the landlord." Shuyi replied.

After hearing this, Li Chou thought to himself, "It's really high, if you do business according to the rules of two taels, you will definitely not make so much money, but once this auction is done, you will make much more money than doing business." ”

"The first lot - the seven-star dragon pattern stone, this treasure is found from the depths of the South China Sea, the pattern on the stone is like a dragon coiled, the spirit is vibrant, there are seven gems scattered above the dragon's head, the shape is like a dipper, the whole stone is shiny and bright, plus the seven gems are contrasting, it is even more eye-catching. This stone is difficult to find for thousands of years, if you get it, not to mention the prosperity of the official luck, how can you also get rich and expensive, the meaning is very rare. The starting price is 3,000 taels of silver, and the auction is now open. The sound of the piano introducing the lot came again.

Li Chouxin looked at the lots on the stage, it was indeed rare, but he never cared about these things.

"Three thousand two hundred taels!"

"Three thousand five hundred taels!"

"Three thousand eight hundred taels!"

.......

After a period of bidding, the price was stuck at 4,500 taels, and Qin Yin said at this time: "Is there anyone else bidding higher?" If no one continues to bid, this treasure will belong to the Qian Gongzi in Room 10 on the second floor. ”

Just as Qin Yin was about to announce the results, a voice suddenly came from room No. 3 on the second floor: "Six thousand taels!" ”

"Six thousand taels! Isn't this guy crazy enough to raise the price so high all of a sudden? For a while, there was a lot of discussion.

"Scholarly girl, who's bidding now?" Li Chou asked curiously.

"It is Zhang Rao, the son of the richest man in the Zhang family, who admires my landlord very much on weekdays, and often wants to please the landlord in this way." Callarily replied.

"It turned out to be an infatuated species, and I wanted to fight a beautiful woman with a smile." Li Chou said with a smile.

"Li Gongzi, don't talk nonsense, if my young lady hears it, she will definitely be unhappy, she has no interest in this Zhang family." Shuyi said at this time.

Li Chouxin thought at this time, maybe this Zhang Rao can make friends, maybe he can use it, after all, this is the son of the richest man in Oroling, there must be a lot of channels, maybe there are still business contacts with Hu Jin and Yan Zefa.

"Li Gongzi, what are you thinking?" Shuyi said to Li Chouxin.

Li Chou came back to his senses, "It's nothing, it's just a little surprised that I spent so much money to buy a stone." ”

"It's not surprising to see too much." Callarily replied.

"Good! If no one continues to bid, then this seven-star dragon pattern stone will belong to Zhang Gongzi. With that, Kotone ordered the stone to be brought to room three.

"The next lot is the Heart Protector. This pill is the first alchemist Ge Qing refining today, it is not easy to obtain, this pill is the best pill, taking it can reshape the heart, remove hidden diseases, make people rejuvenated, can be about ten years younger, it is very suitable to honor the elders or officials in the family. The starting price is 5,000 taels. Qin Yin said again.

As soon as this Dan came out, the customers who had just made no bid became lively for a while, and they all wanted to win this Dan.

"Five thousand five hundred taels!"

"Six thousand taels!"

"Six thousand six hundred taels!"

.......

Finally stopped at fifteen thousand taels. The bidder is still Zhang Rao, but this time the pill is to please Hu Yi who is beside him, Hu Yi is Hu Jin's son, and he should want to use Hu Yi's hand to please Hu Jin.

Sure enough, this elixir was also patted by Zhang Rao.

"Okay, everyone, here is the last lot of the day, this lot is a bit special, there is no reserve price, everyone can bid." Qin Yin said.

At this time, many people began to wonder, "What kind of treasure is so mysterious?" ”

Someone else said, "If you don't even have a reserve price, it's definitely not a good thing." ”

Seeing this, Qin Yin said calmly: "You don't have to make a noise, the last lot is a sword, but this sword is not the same as an ordinary sword." ”

I saw Qin Yin open the box of the sword, and an ancient sword appeared in front of everyone's eyes, this sword was rusty, but the charm was still there, and it exuded a chill from time to time, but this sword was longer than the ordinary sword, and in the eyes of ordinary people, it was a waste sword.

"Although this sword is an ancient sword, but I don't know who used it, I don't know the name of the sword, I only know that it was obtained by someone from a clear pool in the mountains not long ago, because the sword body is mediocre, and rusty, and it is three inches longer than the general sword, full three feet three, the person thought that it was the waste sword wanted to throw away, happened to be seen by the landlord, felt strange, so he received it with one or two silver, and wanted to see if anyone could recognize it at this auction, if someone had a fate, it was not considered to bury this sword. Start bidding below. After the sound of the piano was finished, there was silence below.

Many people think that this sword is used by the landlord to ridicule, and there is no bid. Zhang Rao, who took the first two lots, saw this sword, although he wanted to please Yan Erliang, but he also quieted down at this time, after all, although he was rich, he was not wronged, and this sword was useless.

Li Chouxin looked at this sword, but felt that the faint aura of this sword was somewhat familiar, and although this sword was rusty, the domineering momentum was hidden, but he was interested, and shouted casually: "Ten taels!" ”

As soon as the two words came out, the people below exploded for a while, and they all looked at the second room where Li Chouxin was.

"Who is this man? Show funny, ten taels are embarrassed to bid, shouldn't it be a joke. ”

"Although it is a broken sword, ten taels is too shabby. How did this man get into the second and second floors? ”

"This person is an idiot, ten taels of silver are enough to enter the second and second floors a few times, and he used it to buy this broken sword."

.......

For a while, there were different opinions, but no one made a bid after all.

"Since no one has bid, then this sword will belong to Li Gongzi in room two." With that, he motioned to send the sword upstairs.

"Since Childe has won this sword, please ask Childe to give this sword a name, it is also an ancient sword." Qin Yin looked at Li Chouxin's room and said.

"Three feet three, since this sword is three feet three long, then it is called three feet three!" Li Chou did not hesitate, as if he had already thought about it.

"Three feet three! Good name, maverick, the only one in the world. Qin Yin said.

Just when everyone was still discussing, the three feet three had already been handed over to Li Chouxin.

Li Chou couldn't wait to take out the long sword and hold it in his hand, and waved it lightly, only to see that the sword seemed to be awakened, emitting a silver light, and went towards the table in the corner, and suddenly the table was torn apart, and the rust on the sword body slowly fell off, revealing his true face, only to see that the sword body was slender, the blade was sharp, and the cold was cold, and there were some carved cloud patterns on the sword body, which looked like a sword, and the breath of this sword made Li Chouxin feel more and more familiar.

Li Chou was overjoyed when he saw this, but the bookish intention on the side was shocked in place.

When everyone downstairs heard the movement, they all looked forward to it.

Qin Yin asked, "Li Gongzi, did something happen to the movement just now?" ”

Without waiting for Li Chouxin to answer, Shuyi ran to the window, "Sister, the rusty sword just now arrived in Li Gongzi's hand, and it shattered the table with a slight wave, and the rust faded and revealed the true face of the sword, it is really a good sword." ”

Qin Yin heard this: "Congratulations to Gongzi Li, I am happy to get the ancient sword three feet three, it seems that Li Gongzi is indeed related to this ancient sword." ”

When everyone heard this conversation, they fried the pot again, and they complained that Li Chouxin had picked up a leak, and the ten taels of silver that had been picked up were still from the second and second floors, just because Li Chouxin won the third autumn in the competition this morning, and all the consumption today was free, and everyone looked at each other but was helpless.

And Zhang Rao is now bidding 1,000 taels to buy Li Chouxin's three feet three, but Li Chouxin bluntly refused, and he was annoyed in his heart.

Li Chouxin looked at the long sword in his hand, and his heart was happy.

"Three feet three, you will accompany me on the next road in the future!" Li Chou stared intently at the three feet three, and said secretly in his heart.
