In the afternoon, there were more people in the manor, and there was an endless stream of guests, some old acquaintances chatting together, and some new acquaintances touting each other.

Mu Haisen took Duanmu Shenjiu, and after repairing the chandelier, he went to find Wu Hou, but after walking around, he didn't see him. Just as the two of them were about to call Wu Hou, the kid came back with a smile on his face.

Mu Haisen looked at him as if he was very happy, so he asked, "Why are you so happy?

Wu Hou smiled and said proudly: "It's almost the same as picking up money." ”

"Yo, what a good thing is that, I see that you are so happy, I can't close my mouth. ”

Wu Hou said mysteriously, "I went to the pond and fought a few battles and won 20,000 yuan!"

"Really?" Mu Haisen asked Wu Hou with a glare.

"I can't lie to you, you see. As he spoke, he took out two hundred-dollar bills from his pocket.

Duanmu Shenjiu saw the money, shook his head and sighed, and said helplessly: "You kid, you are quite greedy for money, I heard that there was money to take, so I sneaked over, which is very inappropriate." ”

Wu Hou smiled, disapproving, and said, "Oh, Master, you don't know, the people who participated in the competition were too incompetent, and I didn't use much force, and they fell." ”

Mu Haisen was surprised: "Okay, Wu Hou, I didn't expect you to be so powerful, there are inevitably low-level martial artists who fish in troubled waters here, but more or less, they are all practitioners who have been practicing for a few years, seeing that you seem to win very easily, it's really not simple." ”

Wu Hou pretended to nod, and then said, "Tianzong Wizard, Tianzong Wizard." ”

Duanmu Shenjiu scolded with a smile: "You, can't your skin be thinner?"

"Haha. Wu Hou smiled heartily, thinking, it's easy to make money by playing games. He couldn't help but think of the time when he followed Mak Weili everywhere to participate in competitions a few years ago. In those years, Mai Weili and Wu Hou divided the bonus into thirty-seven, and Mai Weili, who was like a miser, shamelessly grasped the problem of Wu Hou's underage and asked for seventy percent. Wu Hou's current attitude towards money is more or less influenced by Mai Weili.

After playing the game for a few years and earning money to eat, drink and have fun, Wu Hou has the rest of the money in his hand and a small amount of 100,000 yuan, and now with the 20,000 yuan in his hand, this kid seems to be a young man with a deposit of 100,000 yuan. This kind of college student with savings is rare on today's college campuses. However, Wu Hou can live, and he never squanders money when he has money, he remembers that Guo Sunflower taught him that he should spend money on the blade.

The auction was about to start, and the three of them went to the restaurant again, had a simple dinner, and at the same time took out a free bottle of good wine. After they were full of wine and food, the three of them went to the hall where the auction was held.

The hall was already crowded with people. In the center, there are dozens of small round tables, on which tea and fruit cakes are placed, and ergonomic Ming-style circle chairs are placed around. Some rich and powerful people sit there elegantly, unmoved by the noise around them. There is a corridor around it, separated by a railing from the central "rich area", there are no chairs in the corridor, people are standing, but it is crowded, and it looks like if there are dozens of people who come and there is no place to stand.

The three of them entered the door, walked to the right, found a relatively spacious position with a good line of sight, and stood there, waiting for the auction to begin.

Mu Haisen looked at the center of the hall, and after looking for a while, he saw Gu Jiajie. He patted Wu Hou beside him, pointed his finger and said, "Look, that's Gu Jiajie." ”

Wu Hou and Duanmu Shenjiu looked in the direction of Mu Haisen's finger and saw a gentle middle-aged man, that was Gu Jiajie. Gu Jiajie looks very young, not like a man around forty years old, but more like a man who has just passed his prime. As one of the eight masters, he does not have the majesty of the eight masters in Wu Hou's heart, when someone walks by him, he leans over slightly to greet him, and he will also nod with a smile on his face, and face everyone very friendly.

"It doesn't look like a master, it doesn't have that temperament at all. Wu Hou stared at Gu Jiajie and said.

Mu Haisen admired Gu Jiajie very much, and asked Wu Hou: "Why don't you have a temperament, you see how much people respect him, he just sits there casually, and someone takes the initiative to go over to show goodwill." ”

Wu Hou pursed his lips, "What's the big deal, I want everyone to respect me in the future, and bend down to say hello when they see me." ”

Duanmu Shenjiu opened his mouth and said: "This person's cultivation is very high, he is already glorious and restrained at such an age, and his Dao heart is very pure. ”

Mu Haisen listened to Duanmu Shenjiu's comments and said in surprise: "Can you see it?"

Duanmu Shenjiu nodded. Mu Haisen thought to himself, it's not simple, he can actually see the level of cultivation of the eight masters, I'm afraid that this person's strength is not below the eight masters. Then I thought, Wu Hou, this kid, how can he have such a powerful master?

On the high platform, a beautiful woman, dressed in a decent dress, set off her graceful figure, and walked out of the backstage with a smile. She picked up the microphone and bowed to the audience before speaking.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, it's time for the annual Gu's Group auction, here, I would like to sincerely thank you for your continued support to the Gu's Group. The beautiful host bowed politely to everyone in the audience, and the audience cheered up one after another, and the applause continued.

The host seemed to enjoy this feeling, smiled faintly, pressed down with his hands, and then said: "Next, I would like to invite the leader of our Gu Group, Mr. Gu Jiajie, to come up and say a few words to you. ”

The light shone on Gu Jiajie, who was sitting in the front row, and I saw him slowly get up and walk to the stage, with a steady stream of applause behind him. Especially the people standing in the corridor, they drummed even harder, as if they could attract Gu Jiajie's attention by clapping their hands as loudly as firecrackers. Mu Haisen also vigorously encouraged his hands, clapped a pair of big hands, and looked at Gu Jiajie who walked on stage with feverish eyes.

Wu Hou looked at Mu Haisen, with a look of disgust, and thought, you are really a die-hard fan of him. Duanmu Shenjiu saw Wu Hou's impatient appearance, touched him lightly, and shook his head quietly.

After Gu Jiajie walked on stage, he took the microphone from the host's hand, nodded to the audience with a warm smile, and pressed it with his hand, and the applause gradually stopped. He looked around, his eyes quickly glanced around the hall, and finally saw the two people sitting at a round table in the back.

He leaned over slightly towards the two of them, and nodded from afar, as a greeting and respect.

Everyone in the audience was amazed and looked over there. There sat a man in a Taoist robe, and a bald monk.

In today's world, Gu Jiajie maintains a very friendly and humble attitude no matter who he is to, but there are really not many people who can make him respect. So everyone speculated about where this Taoist priest and bald monk were.

Someone whispered.

"Who are these two people?"

"Then who knows, but it's certainly not ordinary people, you see they can sit on chairs, you and I can only stand in the corridor, they must be more powerful than us. ”

There are also people who are well-informed, and according to the attire and Gu Jiajie's attitude, they make bold guesses.

"Could it be the wine Taoist and the meat monk among the eight masters?"

Someone nodded and said, "Yes, it's them." Legend has it that the two are friends and have been together for many years, and today in this kind of place, I am afraid that no one will dare to pretend to be these two. ”

Duanmu Shenjiu looked indifferently at the man in the Taoist robe, and his eyes gradually narrowed. The Taoist priest seemed to feel something, and turned his head to look in the direction of Duanmu Shenjiu, Duanmu Shenjiu moved his feet slightly and hid behind Mu Haisen, but the Taoist priest did not notice anything unusual.

Wu Hou also looked at the Taoist priest and the monk curiously, and he asked Mu Haisen, "Brother Sen, who are these two people?"

Mu Haisen said with a smile: "These two people, that's amazing, it's the wine Taoist who is gracious, and the meat monk is clear." ”

"Yo, the top two of the eight masters?" Wu Hou exclaimed.

Mu Haisen nodded, "Yes, it's them." I really didn't expect that there were three of the eight masters today. ”

"It can't be anything, right?" Wu Hou asked again.

"Then who knows. ”

Gu Jiajie, who was on the stage, put the microphone to his mouth at this time, and said in a magnetic voice: "Thank you for being there, and thank you to Daoist Shi and Master Mingxin for appreciating the light, which really makes Gu's small manor shine." ”

The identities of the two were confirmed, and those who did not know the two cast envious glances. Some tycoons even took the initiative to stand up and salute the two.

The Mingxin monk over there, hehe smiled and whispered to Shi Youen: "Hey, this Gu Jiajie, you can still lift the two of us." ”

Shi Youen smiled, stood up, and arched his hand to Gu Jiajie from afar.

Gu Jiajie continued: "Tonight's auction, as in previous years, only 70% of the money from the auction will be returned to the original owner, and the remaining 30% will be decided by me, Gu, for charity and donated to poor areas. ”

There was another thunderous round of applause.

"Next, let's get started, and now we invite our host to bring you wonderful auction items. Gu Jiajie handed the microphone to the host, stepped back, sat down in his seat again, and then summoned a subordinate and whispered a few words.

After the subordinate left, he came to Shi Youen and Mingxin's side, bent down and said respectfully: "Mr. Gu said that after the meeting, please move to another courtyard." ”

Shi Youen nodded and agreed.

The host on the stage, after taking the microphone, said, "Okay, the auction officially begins." ”

With the appearance of the hostess, a tray covered with cloth was brought up.

"Next, for everyone, is a jade pot, complete procedures, identified by the master, for the Ming Dynasty. The host pulled down the tray, revealing a delicate and small jade pot, with clear lines, with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes, and engraved with the words Ruyi pot.

"The name of the pot is ruyi, as the name suggests, the person who gets this pot is auspicious. The starting price is 200,000. ”

Then, the light hit the jade pot, and the camera lens was also aimed at the jade pot, and the enlarged jade pot appeared on the big screen, so that everyone present could see it clearly.

Someone said: "Produced in the Ming Dynasty, although the age is not very old, it is also an old object, and it looks good, and the price of 200,000 yuan is worth it." So he raised his hand and signaled that he was willing to pay 200,000 yuan to buy this jade pot.

Then someone else also made a bid. "Two hundred and fifty thousand, I have a collection. ”

The rich people present, in fact, are not really rare for this object, and they bid for it just to show off their wealth and strength.

So immediately after that, someone bid, "300,000, this thing must be excellent for making tea." ”

"500,000, I bought it for my son to use as a night pot, haha. A man who looked like an upstart, dressed in gold and silver, shouted roughly.

There were gentle and elegant guests, and they whispered: "This dirt bun is really evil." Then he shouted, "A million." ”

The audience was in an uproar. One million, this number, rarely appears on the first lot. Because everyone knows that the auction items that will appear later will only get better and better.

After the man shouted a million, no one continued to bid. No one will spend more than a million to buy this jade pot, it is important to show off their wealth, but no one's money is blown by the wind.

As the host said, "One million once, one million twice, one million three times." The hammer struck on the stage, and a "million deals, congratulations to Boss He, for taking this first Ruyi pot." ”

Then, Miss Manners stepped off the stage, went straight to the table of the man known as Boss He, and put the Ruyi pot on the table. Boss He took out a black suitcase, handed it to Miss Manners and said, "It's exactly one million, take it." ”

Historically, after the auction is completed, one party delivers the auction items on the spot, and the other party pays the money on the spot, both in front of everyone present. This is to prevent people from feeling sorry for the suspicion that there are unspoken rules in the auction.

The hostess brought the suitcase to the stage, and the host opened the suitcase on the spot and counted the amount.

Boss He, who got the Ruyi pot, looked left and right, stroked it with his hand, nodded and said with satisfaction: "It's smooth, it's round, it's good." Then he handed the Ruyi pot to a woman beside him, and instructed: "Go, send it to the Taoist chief behind, I heard that he likes to drink, you tell him, I gave him this Ruyi pot, let him use it to hold wine in the future, wouldn't it be more stylish." ”

The woman was surprised: "I bought it for a million, and I want to give it away?"

Boss He waved his hand indifferently and said, "Make a friend." ”

Only then did the woman get up and walk towards Shi Youen with the Ruyi pot.

When she came to Shi Youen and Mingxin's side, the woman bent down decently, knowing that this Taoist priest and monk were pure people, so she only bent down slightly, and did not show the looming groove on her chest.

"Dao Chief, my boss said that this Ruyi pot is best for holding wine, he heard that you love to drink, so he wants to give this jade pot to Dao Chang, I wish you good luck. ”

Without waiting for Shi Youen to refuse, the woman put down the jade pot and returned to her seat.

The monk looked at the jade pot and smiled, Shi Youen rubbed the surface of the jade pot with his hand, shook his head and smiled.

In the corridor, someone whispered: "This person is really rich, and he bought something for one million, and gave it to an unknown outsider on the spot." ”

Among the wealthy people sitting in the central area, some people laughed and said: "Hmph, what a borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, not only showing his generosity, but also taking a relationship, it is really killing two birds with one stone." It's just that why don't you give it to the monk, isn't that a veritable dedication to the Buddha?"
