The noisy lobby suddenly became quiet. In front of the glazed stage, the gauze swirled gently, revealing the scenery inside the booth.

"The first auction item is provided by Shanxi merchants. It is a gilt silver pot with dancing horse bits and cup patterns. Its gilt craftsmanship can be said to be outstanding in the world... Starting price: 1,000 gold."

There was silence in front of the hall. No one was looking at the auction items. They were all staring in one direction.

The glaze was crisp and colorful, the vines were holding branches, the candles were shining like bright lights... all kinds of lights hit their eyes at the same time. They should have been dizzying, but when they first looked at it, they could only see the slim silhouette of the woman.

Someone's wine bottle shattered with a loud bang, and everyone woke up from a dream and resumed bidding.

Buy! How can you not buy something recommended by a beauty?

"I'll give you two thousand gold!"

"Three thousand gold!"

"Three thousand five hundred gold!"

…

It is not that these wealthy businessmen have never seen stunning beauties during their travels, and they also have many beauties and concubines raised in their homes.

But to be as beautiful as a Taichung woman, it’s not just about appearance, body and charm are the key.

Obviously she was still wearing a layer of tulle, and her appearance could only be vaguely glimpsed, but the first feeling that reached their eyes was——

beautiful.

"No, when did the second lady of the Hua family become so beautiful? She has to show her level early. The leader of the Huasheng Festival that day, I don't know who will win!"

The young man was sitting in front of the balcony on the top floor, looking down through the railing, unable to move his eyes away at all.

"If you're blind, just go get it cured. It's not Hua Rong at all." The man's eyes seemed as cold and silent as snow-soaked dead branches. In his current state of Shuihuai, his eyesight has already reached its peak.

What's more, this is the woman he misses day and night and wants to catch.

"Ah, then she sneaked into the young master's Wushan Pavilion——" If something goes wrong in the auction tonight, his skin will probably be stripped off by his old man.

"Wait a minute, let's see what tricks she wants to play."

Let's see where she got the courage to appear in front of him.

"Cousin, do you know this girl?" Although Xu Yinglin is young, his ability to observe people's emotions does not require him to be an old fox who has been in the shopping mall for many years. Otherwise, his father will not rest assured and will destroy most of Xu's Chamber of Commerce.

Leave it all to him.

The man stopped replying and just poured wine into his mouth one cup at a time.

To be honest, after not seeing him for the past three years, his cousin, Gu Mingyi, has really changed his temperament.

The once gentle young man bowed and lowered his eyes before the Spring Prayer Ceremony, and he captivated many noble ladies from the Southern Kingdom. At that time, there was no one who could not disapprove of the Third Young Master of Chu when they met him.

But now, every time King Chu, who occupies a high position, looks into his stern eyes, only four words remain in his mind -

Frost sword.

He didn't know what Gu Mingyi had gone through in the past three years, but he had to say that Southern Chu was lucky to have such a decisive and decisive king.

How can a person who is too gentle and gentle resist the sound of killing in these troubled times?

It's just that sometimes, it's too much. Hey... If the former cousin could reconcile with the current king, it would be perfect.

#The magnanimity of a wise king in prosperous times, the methods of a hero in troubled times#

With waves of treasures being sold at high prices, the balm that Ji Ranyue really wanted to promote is finally coming to the market.

She let out a soft breath and watched as the exhibition stand in front of her slowly moved up. Sixteen ingenious carvings were revealed to everyone through the delicate glass cover.

The wind makes the lotus clear the dream, the crane dances in the blue sky, the lilac blooms in the rain... Although I don't know the specific function of these objects, the elegance revealed in the craftsmanship is enough to shock people.

"This is a balm used by women. It is used to firm up the skin, leave fragrance, cleanse the skin, and whiten the skin..."

The introduction alone was not enough to make everyone too excited, so she had to do an experiment in front of everyone.

"At the request of the supplier, in order to prove the efficacy of this product, I would also like to invite everyone to participate in a small game. I wonder if anyone in the audience is willing to take the initiative to cooperate with me?"

This method of public testing is not uncommon in auctions. For example, in the past few years, Xu Zi, the master of the Sword-making Pavilion, the leader of the Qin Dynasty, spent ten years casting a long sword. In order to prove its superiority, he publicly used it to

Compared with other swords, he damaged more than a hundred swords before making this unique weapon and genius famous.

That was the most valuable item auctioned by the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations in the past ten years.

With one hundred thousand taels of gold, it was purchased by Lord Changling of the Qin State. Since then, Lord Changling has won all the battles in just a few years, becoming the God of War in the world.

"Girl...girl, can men like me also participate?"

Hey! There was a burst of boos from the crowd. This man came on stage. He was not doing any experiments. He was obviously going to the beauty on the stage.

They have long been so curious that they want to see the beauty under the veil.

"Of course you can." The smile on Ji Ranyue's lips gradually deepened, and the charming look in her beautiful eyes made many people in the audience lose their minds and wander to the sky.

"Then add me too!"

"I'm coming too!"

Everyone raised their heads in excitement, and a neat figure jumped onto the booth first and landed right in front of Ji Ranyue.

He is a young man with handsome features, but his fox eyes are a bit more shrewd and charming.

As soon as he appeared, the people in the hall became quiet for a moment. No one dared to raise their hands and said that they wanted to go on stage to participate.

"Well, thank you for your humility." The young man smiled brightly, with a sharp tiger tooth exposed at the corner of his lips.

Taking into account everyone's reactions, she vaguely guessed the identity of this young man.

It doesn't matter, it's just Xu Yinglin. If it was Gu Mingyi who appeared in front of her at this moment, then she would really be afraid.

Worried about losing my vest.

However, there was no way to protect Gu Mingyi. She was really somewhere on top of this tall building, so she had better be careful.

Ji Ranyue glanced sideways and saw the blurry face reflected in the light and shadow of the glass. Fortunately, the veil was tied fairly tightly.

"Sister, let's get started." The young man bent his eyes, seemingly filled with anticipation.

…

"Tonight is a worthwhile trip!"

"Yes, happy!"

The moon was at the top of the sky, and the lights on the high-rise buildings gradually stopped. But when I left the building and walked to the long street, I found that the fire on the opposite side was soaring into the sky, dyeing half of the dark night with a dazzling orange-red.

Thick smoke billowed and pedestrians fled.

"Look, the place where the fire broke out is not..."

"It's the main cabinet of the Xu Chamber of Commerce!"

"Oops, hurry up, inform Mr. Xu that the Chamber of Commerce has gone bankrupt!"
