Chapter 345 Auction House
After breakfast, the group took a leisurely carriage to the south of the city.
"The Auction House in the south of the city is a well-known auction house in Kyoto. There are all kinds of things for sale, most of which are rare or precious items in the world. Many people in Beijing like those novelties."
Jiang Yu introduced them to them after getting off the carriage, "and you can't get in without a certain amount of wealth."
He was very proud, as if waiting for Lin Baoer and the others to praise him.
He was invited to every auction!
But before Lin Baoer could say anything, Lin Zhishen poured a basin of cold water on him, "Does Empress Xuan know that you came here with money to spend?"
Jiang Yu froze, curled his lips, and muttered in a low voice, "As long as you don't tell her, how can she know..."
Lin Zhishen glanced at him with a smile, walked past him and went in.
"Please ask for the engagement letter, sir." The person at the door of the auction house said respectfully to Lin Zhishen.
Lin Zhishen raised his chin and gestured to Jiang Yu, who immediately ran over and handed over the engagement letter in his arms.
There is a threshold to enter the auction house, and how to choose the threshold is the business of the auction house. As long as you are a powerful person in Beijing, you will receive an invitation letter the day before each auction. It is up to you to go or not.
After entering and turning a corner through the corridor, they could barely see the first floor of the auction house. There was a large empty platform on the first floor with nothing on it. The auction house staff took them to the second floor and left.
Perhaps Jiang Yu's status was really high enough, so the person took them to a private room.
At that time, Lin Baoer also noticed that there were several small tables set up around the edge of the first floor, which should be the place for those individual customers to stay.
"How is it? Quite unique, isn't it?" Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows and waved to the waiter beside him, saying, "Bring a pot of good tea and a pot of good wine, and some of your special snacks. Then you don't have to come in, just wait outside."
The waiter just nodded, and then heard Jiang Yu say, "Oh, by the way, when will the auction start?"
The waiter said respectfully, "My lord, about half an hour later."
They came out in disguise, and as long as they didn't deliberately reveal their identities, those people would not know their identities.
"Okay, go."
The waiter left.
After a while, several people brought tea, wine and snacks. Because they had just eaten breakfast, they were not very hungry, so they didn't touch the snacks.
Thinking that such auctions usually give a list of auction items in advance, Lin Baoer asked, "Tenth Prince, do you know what is being auctioned today?"
"Don't call me the Tenth Prince, it will be discovered!" Jiang Yu hurriedly "smacked", looked around for a while, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one had noticed.
He came out today to tell his mother that he was going out to a poetry meeting with his seventh brother. If the news of his coming here got to his mother's ears, it would be the end!
He handed Lin Baoer a piece of paper, "Here, it's all on it."
He had looked at them all. Although those things were indeed quite novel, he was not very interested in them. This trip was just to bring Lin Baoer and the others to play.
Lin Baoer took it and read it at a glance.
Night-shining pearl, bronze sword, black box, red flame chicken...
"What is this red flame chicken?" Lin Baoer wondered.
Jiang Yuzhi also looked over, very curious, "A chicken that can spit fire?"
Hearing this, Lin Baoer's expression suddenly became strange.
A chicken that spits fire... a turkey?
"Puff." Jiang Yu was amused and explained happily, "This is just the name they gave it. Because the chicken is as hot as fire, the eggs it lays are also red, so they named it this."
"Red eggs?" Jiang Yuzhi's eyes widened, and he became even more curious, "Is it delicious?"
Jiang Yu actually thought about it seriously, "Well... I haven't tried it either, how about... let's take a picture of one and try it out?"
"Okay!" Jiang Yuzhi's eyes lit up, and then he covered his mouth embarrassedly.
It's not her who paid, so she has no say.
"Then it's settled." Jiang Yu smiled with his eyebrows curved, and he hit it off with her.
Lin Baoer was infected and became interested, and was in a good mood.
Xiaofen also likes to eat some strange eggs. If the eggs of this red flame chicken are really so special, Xiaofen should be willing to eat them.
Thinking of Xiaofen, Lin Baoer became helpless.
Xiaofen has been a person who doesn't like home since she was born. Not only is she away from home for half a year, but she also goes around provoking little female snakes. She remembers that when she was still in the Lin Mansion, all kinds of colorful snakes came to the Lin Mansion every once in a while and complained to Xiaoqing, and then Xiaoqing complained to her, and she also taught Xiaofen a lesson. Being a snake
can't be so scumbag!
After leaving Taiping Kingdom with her, he followed her to Jiang Kingdom peacefully. However, after arriving in Jiang Kingdom, this guy's temper began to let go of himself again. He slipped away to nowhere as soon as he arrived at Xianwei Cave, and there is no trace of the snake until now.
She is not afraid that Xiaofen can't find her, but she thinks that this snake is too unreasonable. It's time to find an opportunity to talk to it properly.
"It's started! It's started!"
Jiang Yu's voice interrupted Lin Baoer's thoughts. Lin Baoer didn't think about anything else and watched the auction at ease.
"That night pearl is not as big as the one in my room." Jiang Yu complained, a little disappointed.
He thought it was some special night-shining pearl that could be auctioned at the auction house, but it turned out to be just an ordinary night-shining pearl. It was really disappointing.
"Everyone, please look, this night-shining pearl is different from ordinary night-shining pearls. It is well known that ordinary night-shining pearls emit white light when they are lit, but this one! It has three colors!"
The lights in the auction house dimmed, and the night-shining pearl in the auctioneer's hand instantly emitted three colors of light: yellow, blue, and green, which scattered in all directions, causing a sensation.
"Wow! Three colors!" Jiang Yu's eyes lit up.
Even Jiang Yuzhi was attracted to it.
But Lin Baoer... her mouth twitched, staring at the night-shining pearl that looked like a neon light, stroking her forehead, wanting to laugh.
The world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders.
In the end, this night-shining pearl was auctioned off for five hundred taels. After all, no matter how rare it was, it was just a night-shining pearl, and five hundred taels was already a very high price.
Jiang Yu was itching to mix it up, but was persuaded by Lin Baoer.
She thought that whoever bid for that was a fool.
On the other hand, the fool who auctioned off this night-shining pearl sneezed, wondering if someone had scolded him.
"The next item for auction, the bronze sword..."
It was not until the Red Flame Chicken started to be auctioned that Lin Baoer and the others perked up.
We must win it!
