Walking through the back hall, you can often meet busy servants passing by in a hurry. They all stop to salute and say hello when they meet Gongsun Shuo. Gongsun Shuo responds to them one by one, polite and kind. People with this kind of temperament are rare among wealthy young masters. It should be considered rare.
The auction venue is also divided into two doors. One door is for invited guests to check in, and the other door is exclusively for VIP seats. There are also two passages. VIPs and other guests will never meet in the venue, and the so-called VIPs , except for people from the Gongsun family, there are only alchemists who provide elixirs for the auction house, and not all alchemists are qualified to sit in the VIP seats.
Today, Xia Yuanqiu and Zhu Yan, thanks to Gongsun Shuo's blessing, directly entered the VIP room on the second floor with the admission tickets for the VIP seats.
The layout and routine are similar to the auction house in Mobo, Nantai County. It is estimated that all auction houses operate on the same model.
The VIP seats are compartments with venetian curtains hanging down. The scene outside can be seen from inside the curtain, but the scene inside the curtain cannot be seen clearly from the outside.
As soon as Gongsun Shuo entered the VIP room, he ordered the servants who were waiting to raise the blinds. He was never used to such secretive behavior. He, Gongsun Shuo, also had to spend money to buy things. Like everyone present, he also had to spend money. Shopping at competitive prices, the one with the highest price wins.
"Do you mind if I choose this curtain?" Gongsun Shuo asked.
Xia Yuanqiu thought that he and Zhu Yan were wanted criminals in the Xiliang Kingdom and should not have acted so blatantly, but it was not easy to spoil Gongsun Shuo's elegance, so he smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter to us, but I have to give him the gift first. Just a reminder, our reputation as a couple is not very good in the world right now. If someone recognizes us and says something unpleasant, don’t take it to heart."
Gongsun Shuo thought that he had good discernment and would never make mistakes when looking at people. Xia Yuanqiu and Zhu Yan were definitely not evil people. How could such people have a bad reputation in the world
"Sorry, I don't care much about Jianghu affairs. I wonder if you have encountered any trouble?"
Xia Yuanqiu sighed: "Someone deliberately framed us and my wife. We were in a hurry and didn't defend ourselves, so they framed us for killing innocent people indiscriminately and the whole country wanted us."
Gongsun Shuo nodded: "As the saying goes, the pure will become clear from itself, and the turbid will become turbid from itself. As time goes by, everything will be clear."
Zhu Yan thought that he was wanted by the whole country. Even if the notice did not mention his name, the matter must have spread to the palace. He was the prince, but he was framed and killed innocent people indiscriminately. The officials in front of the palace also He didn't know how to get involved with him as the prince, and he didn't know how his father was doing now. He was extremely worried.
Seeing Zhu Yan staring at the ice tea on the table in a daze, Xia Yuanqiu said softly: "Don't worry, my father and all the officials know who you are, and they won't believe it."
Zhu Yan nodded: "I hope so!"
In order to relax the atmosphere, Xia Yuanqiu quickly changed the subject and asked Gongsun Shuo: "It's so hot in Moti City, but your Gongsun family seems to have endless ice cubes. Where does this ice cube come from?" She had noticed. There are ice buckets of ice in the corners of the venue below. Next to the ice buckets, there is a maid who is shaking her hand to send fans. Needless to say, this idea must have come from Gongsun Shuo's fiancée.
The weather was already hot, and with the large number of people in the venue, it was even hotter and made people sweat profusely.
With this ice bucket and fan, it brings a little bit of coolness to this hot hall, which is very refreshing.
