After dinner, Ning Yao drove over on time that night.
Shen Beian had already changed his clothes and was waiting to attend the auction.
When Master Shen was still an infant, he was taken to auctions by the Shen family. As he grew up, it goes without saying that he was taken to auctions by the Shen family.
Generally speaking, at auctions attended by Master Shen, the eldest son would hand over the list of auction items to Master Shen in advance, allowing Master Shen to choose his favorites and acquire them directly.
This can't be considered a matter of using power to pave the way; it's just that money is there. Even if it were auctioned off, no one could outspend the eldest son.
Most people still care a lot about value and benefits when buying things.
But for the eldest son, as long as Fifth Master Shen likes it, that is the greatest value of the item, and she also gains the greatest benefit from it.
"Does this place also have the custom of sky lanterns?" Shen Bei'an asked Gu Nan'an subconsciously after getting into the car.
In the past, when attending auctions, Master Shen would just go through the motions; if he set his sights on something, no one would dare to compete with him for it.
Gu Nanyan held Shen Bei'an's hand, his gaze fixed on him, a faint smile on his lips. "No, there's no auction list here either. The 'goods' are all up to you, leaving plenty of 'surprises' for the guests attending the auction."
Although Gu Nanyan's tone was very ordinary, for some reason Shen Bei'an could hear a hint of sarcasm in it.
"Is it in the main hall or a private room?" Shen Bei'an knew that Gu Nan'an had been to Fuyun Island more than once and was familiar with the rules here.
"A private room." Gu Nanyan had naturally been here before. Every place on Fuyun Island made her nauseous, but there were many places like this in the world. It was just that Fuyun Island was more unrestrained because it had no national borders.
“Everyone is in a private room; there’s no main hall,” Gu Nanyan added.
Every item auctioned here is extremely special, and they need to ensure the privacy and security of every guest.
Ning Yao was driving, but her mind was already wandering far away.
The matter here will be resolved soon.
By then, Yan Ge'er's marriage should also be settled.
If Yan-ge'er becomes a witness, would the Fu family be more likely to accept him?
But what about Sister Wei?
Sister Wei doesn't have much exposure to these things, and she hasn't done anything illegal yet.
But Han Yi, that madman, can't even protect himself, let alone her, and the Tang family certainly won't protect her either.
Brother Yan…
It was already difficult enough with Master Shen and Young Master Fu protecting her, so it was really impossible to get Brother Yan to speak up and protect Sister Wei.
And what about Young Master Xie?
If it were the real second young master of the Tang family, Young Master Xie, who made the request, Sister Wei should be able to be saved, right?
However, this young master Xie did not come to Fuyun Island, and at this time, Fuyun Island could not be contacted at all.
She herself seemed to have no connection with these young masters of the Xie family, and even if she pleaded, it seemed to be of no use.
She now has no trump cards left to negotiate with the eldest son and the others.
How can she protect her daughter, Wei Jie?
The auction venue was soon reached.
Shen Beian discovered that the auction venue here was similar to the Yuxuan Pavilion in the capital, both designed like restaurants.
Completely different from the First World.
The greeters outside the gate were mostly dressed in arrow-sleeved shirts or horse-face skirts, which had a distinct imperial feel.
"Why are there so many buildings with imperial characteristics on Fuyun Island?" Shen Beian asked, holding Gu Nanyan's hand. The place he looked at with his peach blossom eyes seemed to be no different from Yuxuan Pavilion.
Ning Yao chatted with the greeters on the side.
Gu Nanyan curled his lips, "The auction house here was originally built based on the Imperial Pavilion in the capital of the empire."
The Imperial Pavilion in the capital city has branches all over the world, and it has been established for over a century.
It mostly uses mortise and tenon joints.
“When Fuyun Island was first established, most of the people who came were from the Empire, so it’s not surprising that there are these people here.”
With a powerful empire and advanced technology, geniuses were naturally plentiful.
"Patriarch Brown, Lord Brown, please." Ning Yao led the two to a private room.
The auction house is divided into two floors. The private rooms are secluded and extremely soundproof, and you can see the auction items displayed in the central hall from the private rooms.
Anyone who wants to bid can press the button in their private room. The highest bidder wins, and the auction is decided in three hammer blows. The currency used is still Imperial Coin.
The private room that Gu Nanyan and Shen Beian were going to was still the same one at Wushang Loulan.
As for Shen Juanqing and Xie Yunyu, they shared a private room with Gu Nanyan and Shen Beian.
"Sister Yan, if there are any twin snow lotuses from Tianshan at today's auction, please bid for them for me."
As soon as he sat down, Gu Nanyan received a message from his uncle.
"good."
Gu Xiujin used very precise words, "take it down," showing no concern for the price.
Many of the people who come to Fuyun Island also want to establish connections with the medical alliance.
By establishing a relationship with the medical alliance, the best gift to give is naturally medicinal herbs.
The medical alliance members are not short of money, but good medicinal materials are extremely difficult to obtain.
The news that there might be a twin snow lotus from Tianshan at this auction has been circulating for some time, and many people want to acquire it.
There were naturally many people who competed based on their financial resources, but Gu Xiujin asked Gu Nanyan to bid directly.
Not caring about the price at all, Gu Nanyan readily agreed.
"Twin snow lotuses from the Tianshan Mountains," Shen Juanqing also saw the message, "Does Uncle Slater need them?"
Since childhood, Shen Juanqing has gotten to know almost all the members of the Gu family by following her uncle.
"It should be so," Gu Nanyan replied. Gu Xiujin himself was a medical student, as was Slater.
Xie Yunyu had already met Slater; she never imagined that her martial aunt would be the lover of the third master of the Gu family!
All she knew was that her uncle had a gay lover and that they had a marriage certificate in Ireland.
But no one knew it was the third master of the Gu family.
Shen Juanqing's gaze inadvertently swept over his lover, "I'll take a picture and give it to Uncle Slater."
Shen Juanqing already knew that Xie Yunyu was the divine physician Bei Mo, and that Slater Windsor was the divine physician Bei Mo's senior uncle, which was no secret in the world.
Gu Nanyan raised an eyebrow. "What, trying to curry favor with your father-in-law in advance?"
She and Shen Beian were childhood sweethearts. Although the Shen family found it hard to accept that their fifth master was marrying her, they had no reason to object.
But Chen Juanqing is different.
The Xie family in Xihua City has eight young masters waiting for him.
This Xie family girl has quite a few aliases, a whole bunch of martial arts uncles, godfathers, and godmothers. Her wedding will be quite a spectacle.
Xie Yunyu remained silent, but the corners of her lips behind the mask couldn't help but curl into a smile.
She was not yet twenty, so naturally she was in a hurry to get married.
But he had already started thinking about how to please her family.
It would be a lie to say that Shen's heir, Mo Jue, ranked first among the Nine Masters of the Capital, was not pleased that he had gone to such lengths.
Shen Juanqing had no reason to hide anything and nodded, "Although I'm a relative who's trying to stop your marriage, you still have to help out, Auntie."
Shen Juanqing's address of "little aunt" was particularly drawn out, instantly bringing them closer.
——
Young Master Shen: If I should call someone "Auntie," then I should. Anyway, I won't lose out.
Fifth Master Shen: ... (My male lead, you've ruined your character!)
