Brother is a heartless thing [Rebirth]
Chapter 10 The Dancer
Xiao Chengjian seemed to be here alone today, Min Shao was not interested in him, so he turned around and sat down at the pear blossom wood square table.
Not long after, the auction feast is about to begin.
The noisy voices from below subsided, the lights on the stage were lit, and the brilliance was instantly diffused, and the layers of curtains were slowly dispersed like waves agitating, presenting the inside in front of everyone.
The beautiful and graceful female auctioneer stood on the stage, stroking the crystal ball in front of her with her slender hands, and the crystal ball immediately glowed with a soft light, marking the official start of the auction banquet.Everyone's bids can be displayed on this crystal ball as long as they are conveyed through the spar at hand.
The auction banquet in Wanxianglou was full of surprises, and the auctioneer's clear voice read out one after another rare names, such as "the startling fragrance refined from the soul-returning tree of the West Sea", "Jade Red Grass in Kunlun Wonderland", "Ancient Kung Fu Dharma secret book "Kan Li Hong Lei Jue" and so on.
But it only reported the name and origin, the real use and value, all have to be weighed and guessed by the guests themselves.
Min Yan looked at it in a daze upstairs, only watching the crystal ball in front of the auctioneer keep showing handwriting, the old words were quickly covered by new ones, and the bidding continued to rise.Can't help but ask: "What are these things for? I don't explain clearly. How come so many people buy them?"
Fu Si sighed at the side: "Hey, this is the way to do business. The more vague the things you sell, the more curious you will be. If you don't explain clearly, you will feel strange when you use them. Otherwise, there is no such thing in this world. So many incredible treasures? It’s nothing more than surprise.”
That was true, but he was only half right.
It is true that more than half of Wanxianglou's auction items are "not worthy of their names". When the veil is really lifted, everyone may think that it is nothing more than that.But among the remaining auction items, there are really rare items that are once in a lifetime.
Otherwise, Wanxianglou would not have built up its reputation today in just a few years.
Treasures are rare, and there are even fewer people who really understand their uses.Min Shao watched quietly, but there was no movement until the No. 11 auction item appeared, and then he put his hand on the spar used for the quotation.
The Qingwan female voice sounded from downstairs: "No. 11 treasures, heavy soul crystal jade, the place where it belongs is unknown."
Looking carefully at the stands, there was only one piece of crystal stone as thin as ice flakes in the tray, which was so small that it was almost nothing. Min Yan was slightly surprised: "Brother, do you want to buy this?"
Min Shao didn't speak, but directly answered with actions.
I saw the floating light on the crystal ball downstairs constantly changing, and the auctioneer's voice was clear and powerful:
"Five thousand and one hundred taels."
"6000 taels."
"Six thousand and one hundred taels."
"7000 taels."
"..."
Whenever someone raises the price, someone will quote the whole number directly, very resolutely.But even so, there are still people who relentlessly compete with it.
At the end, the bidding price of this auction item even directly exceeded [-] yuan, and it was still rising continuously and steadily, and there was a depressing sound of gasping gradually.
While covering the spar with one hand, Min Shao looked around the seats downstairs, as if trying to find something out of it.But even if most people were not bidding, they carefully covered up the spar, and it was not easy to see who was bidding and how many there were.
"Sixty-one thousand taels."
"7 million taels."
"Thirty-two thousand taels."
"..."
The price is still rising, gradually approaching 10 taels, but it still hasn't stopped.At the end, the auctioneer's quotations became slower and slower, and finally there were fewer and fewer competitors, and the only remaining bidders obviously began to hesitate.
Min Shao's face was cold and hard, and he continued to add chips without changing his expression.
He is determined to obtain this piece of heavy soul crystal jade, and must not fall into the hands of others.
At the guest seat downstairs, Xiao Chengjian was covering the spar with his hand like everyone else, and propping his head with the other hand. His long and narrow phoenix eyes hinted at elites, and he seemed to be casually looking up at the dark Accords on the second floor. glanced.He frowned imperceptibly.
"Ninety-three thousand taels..."
"Ninety-three thousand taels..."
"10 taels!"
The bidding soared all the way up to this point, and the atmosphere in the arena was turbulent. The guests were already in a commotion, chanting in low voices, eagerly anticipating the final result.
After waiting for a long time this time, no one continued to bid.The auctioneer said loudly: "One time for 10 taels, two times for 10 taels, three times for 10 taels—"
"make a deal!"
The voice settled.Min Shao moved his hand away.
Min Yan was in shock for a long time, and felt sorry for a handful of money from the treasury.
"Brother..." He came back after a while and asked, "What is this? What are you buying this for?"
Not only Min Yan, many people have never heard of the heavy soul crystal jade, and even the statement given by Wanxianglou is "unknown", and they don't understand how such a thin piece the size of a fingernail is worth so much silver.
But Min Shao knows that this is a rare item in the world, although it is extremely precious, it is not a good thing.
If he didn't admit his mistake, Wen Xuan was harmed by it back then, half his life was tossed away, and he almost died in the killing array set up by himself.
He glanced at Min Yan and said, "This thing is vicious and sinister, it is inconvenient to pass it on to the world, it must be brought back to the palace as soon as possible and destroyed."
Min Yan: "???"
Even Fu Si, who was quick-witted and eloquent, couldn't react for a while, and stared blankly for a while.
10 taels of vain silver should be destroyed or destroyed for no reason?
Violent waste, really violent waste...
Fu Si suddenly felt heartache, clutched his chest and let out a trembling breath secretly, he did not forget to add a sentence later: "Your Majesty... is really prepared for danger in times of safety, worrying about the country and the people, vulgar people like this old slave There’s no comparison, it’s really admirable.”
Min Shao didn't explain much, got up and said: "There is no need to look here, go back to the palace."
"Are you leaving now?" Min Yan hurriedly glanced out of the window twice, as if reluctant to part.
"It's getting late, and there are still things to deal with in the palace. If you want to come, wait for the next time." Min Shao said and was about to leave from the Accord, but when he walked to the door, he suddenly felt his wrist burning, and his footsteps stopped.
Min Yan walked behind and stopped, looked with her head, and asked, "What's wrong?"
The hot thing was a copper-colored wrist buckle made of a special material.
It has an unusual function, that is, it can sense with another wrist buckle for simple communication.And the other end of the wrist buckle is the informant directly under Min Shao's hands.
Min Shao frowned slightly, told Min Yan and Fu Si to wait a while, then went out of the room by himself, and said something to Hou Zai's maidservant in Wanxiang Building at the door.
After a while, the servant girl led the way and brought a person.
It was a thin and capable man, dressed in light black soft armor, his appearance was ordinary at first glance, and he knelt down to salute as soon as he entered the room, "Please refer to Your Majesty."
"What's the matter?" Min Shao asked directly.
The man got up, avoiding Min Yan and Fu Si, came over and fell in his ear, whispering something.
Min Shao's eyes changed slightly, and he frowned, "Then where is he now?"
"It's in Wanxiang Building."
"How is it possible..." Min Shao murmured, subconsciously looking downstairs.
After a while, he looked at the man coldly: "Why are you talking now?"
The man lowered his head, showing embarrassment: "They are on the way to Yujian, and the subordinates have just arrived..."
Min Shao rubbed the center of his eyebrows, he seemed to have a headache, waved his hands and said: "Forget it, you go out first."
The man led the order to retreat.
Min Yan asked: "Brother, what's the matter?"
Min Shao was silent for a while, changed his mind for some reason, sat down at the table again, and said, "It's nothing, just stay a little longer."
Several people took their seats in Ya Ge again, and Min Shao stared intently, watching every move below calmly.
According to the informant's report, Wen Xuan came to Yuyang Capital together with Xiao Chengjian today, but for some reason, she didn't show up for a long time.
... Isn't he in this auction house?
But since you came to Wanxiang Building, what can you do if you don't participate in the auction banquet?
Min Shao secretly frowned.
The auction in the venue was still going on. It was the first auction banquet held every three months. There were almost forty auction items to be auctioned in just one night, and the time would last until midnight.
Soon after more than an hour, the maid outside the door had already come in to refill the tea several times. Min Shao stroked the teacup with his fingertips expressionlessly, but Wen Xuan was still missing. Anxious.
The auction banquet has come to an end.
At this time, most of the people were tired, and a few people who were ready to move had already left the venue.
At this time, the veil on the platform suddenly fell slowly again, covering the high platform layer by layer, two lampstands around were extinguished, and the candlelight became ambiguous.
Suddenly there was a low melodious sound of silk and bamboo playing in the arena, and a dark figure was reflected on the golden gauze curtain, which was graceful and varied, and immediately aroused everyone's interest.
The music was up and down, and the figure was dancing with it, with long sleeves rising and falling, and light and elegant steps. The dim light outlined that figure in an extremely graceful and slender figure, with a slender waist like a water snake and boneless.
When the music reached its climax, the pipa orchestra was about to collapse like broken jade, the figure whirled like a mountain, with long sleeves flying and fluttering, and a rain of flowers suddenly fell from the top of the stage, accompanied by the fragrant fragrance, like falling stars.
With a valiant figure and a full display of elegance, almost everyone was dumbfounded.
At the end of the dance, the dim candle flames were suddenly extinguished, and the stage fell into darkness.
Everyone couldn't help holding their breath. After a while, the curtain was pulled back again, the lights were gradually lit up, and the stage returned to its original light.
I saw a slender person standing in the center, wearing a veil that covered his face, and a gorgeous dance skirt that stretched to the floor, revealing only a pair of cool and beautiful eyes, and the original appearance could not be seen clearly under the cover of the veil.
But beauty is beauty, but he is a man.
When the truth was revealed, many people in the audience sighed.
After the man lost the outline of hazy light and shadow, his exposed waist was thin and straight, his body was like a horned bow full of tension, soft but tough, and his eyebrows slanted into his temples.
Just looking at this half of the face, there is no softness at all, which is obviously disappointing.
No one thought that this graceful figure who danced so well that they could arouse their lust was actually a man!
Although the figure is considered outstanding, it is not as exquisite as a woman's.
There are very few people who like masculinity in the venue, and after the auctioneer reports their names and origins, there are still very few people who are willing to bid.
However, Min Shao stood up abruptly the moment the curtain was lifted, almost knocking over the teacup.
Min Yan was startled, "...brother?"
Min Shao stared at the stage in astonishment, almost in disbelief.
... Was he mistaken?
No.
impossible.
The person's eyes, stature, and the vaguely revealed silhouette under the veil all made him feel extremely familiar.
More importantly, on the back of that man's neck... there was also a tiny cinnabar mole.
Min Shao suddenly felt cold at his fingertips, and the blood in his body was congealed.
……How is this going?
How could this be? !
Wen Jinyang... what is he trying to do? !
Min Shao's mind was in chaos, and he even started to have difficulty breathing. He almost didn't even think about it. Under the shocked eyes of others, he raised his hand and put it on the quotation spar.
The author has something to say:
It is impossible for Wen Xuan to dance, even in this life~
Not long after, the auction feast is about to begin.
