After seeing Diana off, Gu Yiling returned to the carriage, ready to continue to explore the world.
He stopped to look at every property in Willard's house. Most of the shops were in good business, and the attitude of the person in charge towards them could be regarded as respectful, although most of this respect was for Gretel's ability. A strong and admirable butler, only a little respect is reserved for this incompetent young master.
Gretel has been carefully observing Gu Yiling's expression, fearing that the young master will get angry because of the person in charge's perfunctory attitude towards him, and thus become wary and disgusted with himself.
Gu Yiling sighed, and suddenly didn't want to be angry with Gretel.
"Gretel, it must be very hard for you to undertake so many things by yourself?"
Gretel stared blankly at Gu Yiling's back against the light, and then his eyes were so sour that he almost shed tears, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's not hard, for the young master, everything is worth it."
Gretel has never felt as satisfied as he is now, as if a person carried a heavy package and walked a long way, and the soles of his feet were worn out by stones, although he didn't think about whether it was difficult or not. , but the distant and untouchable person at the end of the road suddenly looked back at him with sad and gentle eyes, and said to him: "I know your hard work, and I am really grateful to you." Happiness wants to cry.
Feeling the change in Gretel's mood, Gu Yiling couldn't help sighing again, thinking: Forget it, don't be angry with him anymore.He can't accept himself now, and he will accept himself one day.
Soon at night, the street was quiet at first, and then, in a small corner that no one knew during the day, it suddenly became lively again.
Gu Yiling entered the slave auction house with only 233 and Gretel.This clubhouse looks like a serious tobacco shop on the surface, but the underground can be said to be the largest black market in the city, with poppies, gold and silver shipped from America, black slaves shipped from Africa, tobacco and silk smuggled from China , can be said to have everything that one expects to find.In the period of primitive accumulation of capitalism, the government's control over these was extremely loose.
After reporting the names of the Willard family, the waiter quickly took them to a box with a good view.Open the curtains, and you can see the panorama of the entire auction venue from the second floor underground.
Soon, the slave auction will begin.
No matter in which era, where civilization has not spread, human life is always unimaginably cheap. A few dozen silver or gold coins can buy a strong African black slave.
Gu Yiling raised the sign more than a dozen times, and bought more than a dozen good-looking black slaves.This is not a strange thing in this auction house. Which of those big families didn't raise dozens of black slaves to work for them?Black slaves are cheap, they don’t need to pay wages, they accept everything, and no one cares when they die. They are the best labor force.
Gretel silently reminded Gu Yiling: "Master, we have enough people."
Gu Yiling responded casually: "I bought people for other purposes."
Although it was a slave auction, not all of them were slaves. Occasionally, some other items would be presented, such as the jade article presented now. According to the owner and seller, it was a decoration for the imperial palace of China.The jade article is in the shape of a dragon, with a green body and no blemishes, it is indeed a rare treasure.
In this day and age, it is still a fashion to pursue Chinese culture, and this jade article was quickly raised to a high price of [-] gold coins.
"Two thousand gold coins!"
The people in the hall booed, but when they saw the sign on the flag hanging outside the window of the box that made the sound, they all booed one after another. They could only sigh that they were rich and powerful, and they didn't dare to fight any more.
Gu Yiling asked casually: "Who is that? Such a stupid person has a lot of money."
The corner of Gretel's mouth twitched, he was speechless to the young master's adjective, and replied: "It should be Mr. Cyril Ansair, the son of Mrs. Diana in the afternoon. You also praised him. He probably came here For this piece of jade, Mrs. Diana loves Huaxia jade very much. Before the jade was sent for auction, she also advertised it to increase its value. Mrs. Diana probably fell in love with this jade a long time ago and asked his son to buy it for her. "
Gu Yiling's eyes dimmed, she straightened up unconsciously and looked at the box where Cyril was, the corners of her lips curled up with an indescribable excitement, seeing the hero so soon?Is there a good show to watch so soon?
Seeing Gu Yiling's excited expression, Gretel's heart sank.
Is the young master looking forward to meeting Cyril?Does the young master like Cyril very much?Master... Do you want to be with Cyril, Master?How can this be, how can they be together?
The host at the bottom has already started quoting: "Two thousand gold coins once! Does anyone else offer a higher price? Two thousand gold coins twice! Two thousand gold coins three times..."
"Three thousand gold coins!"
Everyone in the hall looked at the source of the sound in astonishment, wanting to know who was robbing the Ansair family, but they only saw a handsome young man lazily lying on the sofa, smiling casually, Most of the people sitting here didn't know what Colin looked like, and they didn't quite recognize the logo of the Willard family, so they started talking about it.
Gretel also looked at Gu Yiling in surprise, the young master has never been interested in fragile and expensive jade, how could he pay such a high price?Could it be... Could it be to arouse Cyril's idea?
The more Gretel thought about it, the more he felt that his thoughts were right, and his heart sank even further.
Cyril frowned and looked at Gu Yiling, but he stopped breathing because of the young man's beautiful appearance like the beloved pet of a Greek god. After a few seconds, he reluctantly looked away and asked the subordinate beside him: "who's that person?"
"It's the son of the Willard family, Colin Willard."
Cyril was surprised: "It was he who helped mother in the afternoon?"
"Yes."
Cyril evoked a wicked smile, "Interesting, interesting." Then he held up the sign and shouted: "Four thousand gold coins!"
The people off the court were talking more loudly, maybe these two are fighting each other, right?Although this piece of jade is precious, it is absolutely impossible to buy such a high price!
Gu Yiling's expression remained unchanged, "Five thousand gold coins!" He was not at all worried that Cyril would suddenly withdraw and make him suffer. He understood that the sons of luck on this mission are probably the ones who have little ability People who still feel arrogant that "I must get what I want".
Sure enough, Cyril immediately continued to quote: "Six thousand gold coins!"
The field exploded like water, and many people had the same idea as Gu Yiling: "People are stupid and have a lot of money!"
Cyril didn't hear the comments below, he raised his chin in Gu Yiling's direction, and raised his red wine glass to keep CHEERS away from him. He obviously felt good about himself, but in Gu Yiling's eyes, he looked like a stupid and arrogant rooster.
Gretel stared at Cyril, what does this mean?Are you hooking up with your young master?
Seeing that Gu Yiling had no intention of making another bid, the host said: "One time for six thousand gold coins! Two times for six thousand gold coins! Three times for six thousand gold coins! Deal! This jade belongs to Mr. Cyril from the Ansair family!"
