Chapter 38: Mother's Uncle
After eating and drinking, and settling the wine money, Yang Yi left straight away with a gun.
As for the legendary woman, Yang Yi naturally wanted to see it, but after seeing the sign hanging in the restaurant, he temporarily lost his interest in this regard.
The sign is clearly written, if you want to see "a thousand cups not drunk" Hou Nuxia, you must first drink thousands of cups of wine in the restaurant, and only after passing this test can you be qualified to go upstairs to meet Hou Nuxia.
After Yang Yi went out, he hit the horse and went straight to the official road of Shannan City.
A day later, after crossing the Jialing River, it was getting closer and closer to "Xuanyunzhuang", and there were more and more high-rollers on the road.
Going out with so many golden tickets, Yang Yi naturally couldn't walk with a big stab, as early as a few days ago, he had made a comprehensive and careful camouflage of his appearance.
He was now transformed into a strong, rugged-looking man with a big beard.
The Iron Thread Gun was also encased in an iron rod made of black iron.
Fortunately, the Tieli thread gun does not have red tassels, so it is easy to camouflage.
After riding a horse and walking for more than a hundred miles, he saw that he was about to leave the boundary of Changshan City, and when he arrived at the three-way area, Yang Yi saw a huge valley manor from a distance.
The "Xuanyunzhuang" was built in the Longwei Valley at the foot of Panlong Mountain.
When we arrived outside the Dragon's Tail Valley, it was already evening.
Yang Yi did not rush into the valley and enter the village, but stayed in a restaurant outside the valley.
The auction was still held in two days, and he was not familiar with this "Xuanyunzhuang", and he did not know the rules of the process of entering the auction hall, so he planned to use the opportunity of these two days to explore the surrounding area and explore the situation.
The second child of the restaurant is very good at coming, and when he saw Yang Yi in a Jianghu guesthouse, he knew that he was mostly coming to the "Xuanyunzhuang" auction, greeting him warmly, and selling some gossip.
"The guest officer is here to participate in the Xuanyunzhuang auction, right? The little one has a lot of inside information here, I wonder if the guest officer is interested?"
"Oh, but I don't know what information the little second brother knows?"
Yang Yi said quietly.
"Guest, please see. ”
As if he had been ready, Xiao Er took out a thin booklet from his arms, with a few big words written on the cover, "Xuanyunzhuang Auction Process Treasure Book".
Yang Yi smiled secretly, it seems that this little two is really good at business, and he can actually think of such a way to make money.
"Can you give me a look?"
"That's not good, this is exclusive information, if the guest officer doesn't buy it, won't the small one be a loss?"
Xiao Erda shook his head.
"How much?" Yang Yi didn't bother to bother with him, and asked casually.
He does need to know some of the auction procedures and rules.
"It's not expensive, as long as three taels of silver, it's definitely worth the money. ”
Xiao Er said with a grin.
Yang Yi took out a piece of broken silver from the money bag, threw it to Xiao Er, and grabbed the booklet into his hand.
Xiao Er smiled happily and ran away with the silver in a gust of wind.
Back in the room, Yang Yi closed the door, sat on the edge of the bed, and opened the book in his hand.
After reading it carefully, he nodded with satisfaction.
This booklet is worthless to those who know about the "Xuanyunzhuang Auction", but for him, it is very useful, saving him time to find out the news and avoiding the risk of exposure.
First of all, this auction really has a threshold, not everyone who wants to enter can enter, there must be a "Xuanyun Order" issued by Xuanyunzhuang to be able to enter the village to participate in the auction.
Secondly, two days before the auction starts, there will be a temporary trade fair in the house.
This trade fair is to pass the time for those who came to Xuanyunzhuang in advance and had nothing to do.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, "Xuanyunzhuang" specially set aside a place in Zhuangzi as a trading place for temporary trade fairs.
If you don't have anything useful in your hand, you can sell it in a stall in the trading hall, one can make some money temporarily and prepare for the next auction, and the other can also inquire about the situation of other competitors participating in the auction in advance.
As for the auction process, it is no different from the auction hall in Changshan City.
There is a special auction hall built in Zhuangzi, and the high-rollers who want to participate in the auction will be entered into different auction seats according to their cultivation level.
After the auction starts, the auction items of Xuanyunzhuang are taken out, and everyone bids with each other, and the highest bidder wins.
All fights are forbidden in Zhuangzi, and if the rules are violated, they will be expelled from the village and disqualified from entering Xuanyunzhuang in the future.
It can be said that the rules of everything are very detailed.
Yang Yi finished reading the contents of the booklet, thought about it, carefully took out a silver ticket of 1,000 taels from his arms, and came downstairs.
"What do you have to say from the guest officer? If it's a meal, you can order it here, and I'll send it to your room later." ”
Xiao Er had just sold a booklet to Yang Yi, and greeted him very warmly.
"What about your shopkeeper?"
"The guest officer wants to buy the 'Xuanyun Order', right? Wait a minute, the little one will go and call someone for you. ”
As soon as Xiao Er saw Yang Yi's expression, he guessed what he was going to do, the smile on his face was even sweeter, and he ran to the back hall with a smoke.
After a short time, a fifty-year-old man with a long beard walked out from behind.
This old man has an extraordinary demeanor, elegant and clear, and he doesn't look like a master of the restaurant at all, but he looks like a master outside the world.
Moreover, Yang Yi vaguely felt that the old man's face was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"The shopkeeper is the one who is looking for you. ”
Xiao Er's pointed at Yang Yi next to him and said to the old man.
The elegant old man smiled, looked Yang Yi up and down a few times, and did not speak, but made a gesture of please.
Yang Yi shook his head secretly, dispelled Fang Cai's distracting thoughts, and followed the old man into a private room in the restaurant.
After the two sides sat down, the old man was not in a hurry at all, looked at Yang Yi again, and asked with a smile, "I don't know what to call my friend?"
"What does the shopkeeper mean?" Yang Yi frowned slightly, and said in an unhappy tone.
"Hehe, it's the first time my friend has come to Longwei Valley to participate in the Xuanyunzhuang auction, right? To tell the truth, every 'Xuanyun Order' we sell must carefully understand the origin of the other party and make detailed records for the record. ”
The shopkeeper was not angry, and explained with a smile.
Hearing his name, Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly and took off the beard on his face.
"Nephew Yang Yi, meet the second uncle. ”
Yang Yi saluted the elegant old man respectfully.
It's really a coincidence, Yang Yi never expected that he would meet someone from his mother's family in this situation.
It's no wonder that he didn't recognize this old man in advance, since he was sensible, for some reason, his mother never took him back to his parents' house, and his mother's mother's house, during the New Year's holidays, no one has ever come to Yang's house.
If he hadn't learned about the Yun family from his mother, he really wouldn't have dared to recognize this old man rashly.
At this time, he understood why he saw that the old man was a little familiar just now, and with his appearance, he was five or six points similar to his mother, so it was strange that he was not familiar.
