Lou Qingwu sensed a dark shadow falling around her, turned her head to look, and met the peach blossom eyes of Gu Panshenghui, a man with a phoenix-tailed mask.
Frowning, the words in his heart blurted out, "Why are you here?"
After finishing speaking, he regretted it. He was also at the entrance of the auction venue just now, so he naturally wanted to come here. What he said was almost nonsense.
The masked man approached aggrievedly, "Little fox, you promised me that you would drink tea after the auction."
"When did I promise you?" Little fox? What the hell is it called
Following his line of sight, he touched the fox-shaped mask on his face, noncommittal, casual, just a title.
"Just now, you can say that as long as your master agrees, there will be no problem."
Lou Qingwu raised her eyebrows coldly, "You are so sure, my master will promise you."
The masked man hooked his lips and smiled conceitedly: "Don't worry, little fox, there is no one in this world who can reject me."
"Yeah?"
Shrugging, Lou Qingwu was too lazy to discuss this topic.
At this time, a woman came up from the pavilion, wearing a bright red brocade dress, wrapped in a layer of tulle, walking around, the skirts of the clothes swayed, giving people an elegant and fairy-like beauty, the woman's facial features It is also extremely delicate, but the eyebrows and eyes are somewhat shrewd and sharp.
Looking around, he suddenly smiled, softening the sharpness in his eyes, making them a little more charming.
"Welcome ladies and gentlemen to come here. The annual auction has officially started. The first piece to be auctioned is the top jewelry of the First Jinsi Tower, 'Flying Together'. It is the only one in the world, and it is unique. According to the usual practice in previous years, the one with the highest price wins. Now I invite the shopkeeper of the First Jinsi Building to show everyone 'Flying Together'."
As soon as the woman finished speaking, another woman with an enchanting figure came out. She was wearing a gold embroidered skirt, she was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, and she had an ordinary face.
But those who knew her knew that the treasurer Jin was a well-known canary in the world.
A pair of skillful hands can turn decay into magic. More than ten years ago, she was famous in Kyoto with a pair of "white-headed phoenix" jewelry, but then suddenly disappeared. When everyone was about to forget her, she suddenly reappeared three years ago. , serving as the steward of the century-old No. 1 Jinsi Building. And this No. 1 Jinsi Building is even more mysterious. It rose suddenly three years ago and swept the entire East Yu Kingdom in an instant. It only took three years to have branches all over the place, almost monopolizing the entire jewelry industry.
The shopkeeper Jin came slowly, stood beside the woman, and clapped his hands.
Immediately, a maidservant brought up a tray, and on the tray was an exquisite and luxurious jewelry box. The gold shopkeeper picked up the jewelry box to let the people present see it clearly, then put it down, and opened the gold-plated lock. Immediately, all the ladies present and The eyes of the ladies stared straight. They had never seen such a gorgeous yet elegant and exquisite jewelry, headgear, earrings, necklaces, rings, bracelets, all lined up in a row, so beautiful that people couldn't bear to look away.
Nie Zhen'er was even more eager to lean forward with her whole body, so that she could see it more clearly.
Behind her, Lou Qingwu saw this scene, her eyes streamed with incomprehensible deep meaning, her eyes fell faintly on the jewelry box on the stage, she slightly bent her index finger, and clasped it lightly, after a few sounds, slowly He took off the golden hairpin from his hair, lowered his head, and fiddled with his dexterous fingers a few times at will. The original shape of the golden hairpin changed completely, and it became an unidentifiable totem.
After doing all this, Lou Qingwu put the golden hairpin in the bun again.
But at this time, the shopkeeper Jin saw that it was almost time, so he curled his lips into a smile, and swept around the crowd, just about to start, but was stunned when his eyes fell on Lou Qingwu.
Lou Qingwu squinted her eyes slightly, and nodded her head almost indistinctly. Shopkeeper Jin nodded her head in understanding, and looked back calmly.
"This is Jinsilou's latest set of jewelry 'Flying Together' this year. The starting price is 1,000 taels of silver. The auction starts now!"
As soon as Shopkeeper Jin finished speaking, Nie Zhen'er in front of Lou Qingwu couldn't wait to shout: "Two thousand taels!"
She has waited for so long, and now she will win "Flying Together" no matter what, and she will enter the palace in a few days, and she must become the most outstanding among the noble ladies who go to the palace!
When Lou Qingwu heard Nie Zhen'er's excited voice, the corner of her mouth twitched coldly.
Sitting there calmly, it seemed that he was not interested in the "flying together".
The masked man kept his eyes closed from the beginning to the end, but when he opened them inadvertently, his eyes fell on Lou Qingwu's head. In the originally indifferent eyes, there was a bright stream of light passing by, bringing fun and Excited, like a lazy cheetah seeing its prey.
…
After some bidding, Nie Zhen'er was far ahead all the way, raising the original one thousand taels to twenty thousand taels of silver.
There is no one to contend with her.
Although the jewelry in the First Jinsi Building is exquisite and hard to find, it is still expensive to buy a set of jewelry at 20,000 taels.
What's more, this is the first auction item, and they are not in a hurry.
Therefore, if no one can compete with Nie Zhen'er, it may be a certainty that she will get "Flying Together".
It's just that there are always surprises.
Lou Qingwu looked at Nie Zhen'er's expression of being determined to win, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up. In this world, the most painful thing is not getting what she wants. Since she wants to "fly together", how can she? Let her down
"Twenty-two thousand once."
"Twenty thousand two times..."
"If no one is taller than Ms. Nie, this set of 'Flying Wings' is..."
Nie Zhen'er stared straight at the jewelry box in the hands of shopkeeper Jin, eager to wear it, wishing she could wear it on her body now.
She couldn't wait for the woman to shout "Flying Wings" to her.
only…
"I will offer twenty-one thousand taels of silver."
Indifferent and alienated like a thunderbolt, it exploded in Nie Zhen'er's ear.
She suddenly came back to her senses, turned her head and stared at the person who robbed her with wide eyes, but when she saw Lou Qingwu, she screamed: "Why are you?"
"Why can't it be me?" Standing up indifferently, Lou Qingwu was dressed in a maidservant's attire, but with her demeanor and demeanor, people completely ignored what she was wearing, and all attention was focused on her body, the sharp contrast between her temperament and her attire , but makes people more curious about her identity.
Nie Zhen'er laughed mockingly: "Twenty-one thousand taels, are you sure that a little maid like you really has money?"
Lou Qingwu: "You can try it anyway."
Nie Zhen'er tightened her veil, thinking about the truth of what she said.
In case she could really come up with so much money, but she gave up, wouldn't it be a waste of "flying together" to her
To a lowly handmaid
Isn't this a slap in the face? !
No! She will never allow this to happen!
Taking a deep breath, Nie Zhen'er straightened her back, and continued to shout sarcastically, "Miss Ben paid 22,000 taels."
Lou Qingwu raised her eyelids indifferently, "Twenty-three thousand taels."
