The royal boat parade started at 9:3 am and lasted until [-]:[-] pm, making a full circle around Yangjia Town.

After this lap, Ah Qiu had already forgotten about the game controller.However, when he followed the big team back to the ancestral hall and saw sitting under the shade of a tree, drinking iced chrysanthemum tea, with a pleasant scent of walnut and poplar all over his body, the anger he had finally suppressed burst out again.

"Aqiu is here." Before he could get angry, Hu Tao greeted him first, "Come on, come on, we've left a drink for you."

Looking at Hu Tao's smiling face, Aqiu lost most of his anger, walked to them both hummingly, took the herbal tea from their hands seemingly reluctantly, but drank it faster than anyone else.

"Eliminate the fire, extinguish the fire." Hu Tao fanned him with a big cattail fan, which made Aqiu very helpful.

"Well, take it easy." Aqiu closed her eyes, enjoying Yang Lin's shoulder and neck massage, her head was shaking, very uncomfortable.

"Come on, what do you need my help with?" Ah Qiu said lazily, offering courtesy to anyone who has nothing to do is either adultery or robbery, and the two of them are probably planning something again.

"Come with me, I'll show you something good." Yang Lin pulled him up and took him to the backyard of the ancestral hall.

In the sunlight, the Qunyu Pavilion erected on wooden piles reflects the golden light, which complements the bright green dwarf trees next to it.

"What is this?!" Ah Qiu stared intently at the pavilion, which was bigger than a 32-inch TV, and walked around it three times.

"You made it?" He recognized Yang Lin's craftsmanship at a glance. The yellow color on the eaves was like offering incense, which only Yang Lin would like. "My God! How could you make such a thing? I can't do it!"

Yang Lin's smiling eyes were a little distracted when Ah Qiu mentioned the word "father", but he soon returned to normal.

Only Hu Tao noticed his change, "He seems to have never mentioned Dad? Is there something hidden?"

"This is called Qunyu Pavilion. It's from Hutao's hometown. It's the treasure of Zhenhai!" After hearing the story of Qunyu Pavilion, Yang Lin gave it a new name.

"Now you should trust us. From my experience, it is impossible to make such a game-style work out of thin air."

In order to persuade Ah Qiu, Yang Lin began to blackmail himself.

Walnut quietly gave him a thumbs up.

"Ahem." Hu Tao saw that Aqiu had been fooled by Yang Lin's words, and it was time for her to play.

"I crushed your handle last time. I'm very sorry. Today I thought of a way to see if I can fix it." Hu Tao held Aqiu's hand, speaking earnestly.

"We have an auction tonight, and we would like to ask you to be our publicity ambassador." Hu Tao lowered her voice, mysteriously.

"What propaganda ambassador? What are you selling?" Ah Qiu was bluffed by her, and his voice was a little nervous.

"Let's auction it off." Hu Tao patted Qunyu Pavilion lightly, then turned her head and said solemnly to Aqiu, "After the matter is completed, half of the income will be shared with you!"

"Oh? Then what should I do?" Ah Qiu was deeply moved.

Hu Tao put his arms around Ah Qiu's shoulders, squeezed them, and nodded with satisfaction, "Very well, you will be solely responsible for our publicity work!"

After half an hour.

"At eight o'clock tonight, Zhenhai's most treasured jade pavilion, the stage is open for sale!" Aqiu pedaled the small tricycle with a blank expression, and a loudspeaker was pinned to his waist, and the chic duck voice came out of the loudspeaker, Let people all over the world hear it.

Behind the tricycle were Hu Tao and Yang Lin escorting Qunyu Pavilion.Hu Tao looked at ease, and when he saw passers-by pointing and laughing on the street, he would smile back, making passers-by feel a little embarrassed.

Yang Lin used the signboard to cover his face, for fear of being recognized by acquaintances.

They set off from the ancestral hall and circled the outer street, and it was already sunset when they came back.

On the stage opposite the ancestral hall, drumming has already begun.In front of the stage, the elderly of each family set up their own plastic chairs in advance to occupy their seats. The children played around the low chairs of different colors and sizes, and occasionally tripped. The first time was not distress, but to look around. The owner of the chair is present.

There is no way, the old people here are very fierce and cannot be easily provoked.

The older children would get under the stage and hide and seek between the stakes.The stage is made of a piece of wood, the light on the stage shines through the gaps, and the figures on it can be vaguely seen from the bottom up. The children are tired from playing, and occasionally they sit by the wooden piles and eavesdrop on the people on the stage. the sound of.Of course they will give up after a while, because they don't understand at all.

When Yang Lin was in the fifth and sixth grades, he would go in and play with Ah Qiu, but now he is too old to feel embarrassed.

Hu Tao will not be embarrassed. Whenever she sees someone, she will go under the dark stage, and she will go in without needing to be greeted by others.

Ah Qiu actually looked eager to try.

"Aqiu, you're not a child anymore!" Yang Lin pressed him on the car seat and refused to let him go.

"Isn't Hu Tao right? She's already 16 years old!" Ah Qiu muttered dissatisfied.

"She's never seen a play, what about you, you've been on the stage since you were a child, and you haven't gotten tired of it?" Yang Linxu was two years older than him, and taught others a set routine.

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Tao came out and hit him in the face, "Who said I haven't seen a play just now! Our Liyue has a lot of plays! I will tell you when I have a chance, now go to the stage and take a seat Bar!"

The area behind the stage is full of food stalls, colorful fruit sodas, freshly made and sold candied haws, cotton candy softer than clouds, and Aqiu’s favorite deep-fried snacks...

At this time, there were not many people coming to set up a stall, so Hu Tao and the others chose a conspicuous place, right next to the fortune teller.The fortune teller was blind in one eye, so he took off his sunglasses and watched for a long time before he could understand what they were doing.

"A few of you children are also doing business?" The fortune teller's voice was kind, and he asked with a smile, "The sale will start at 8 o'clock in the evening? 8 o'clock is the time for offering incense. Is it time to open the sale? It fits so well!"

"Oh! That's true, I forgot about it." Yang Lin slapped his head, he was so busy recently that he forgot about it.

"Grandpa, what time should we sell it?" Hu Tao hurriedly asked.

"It's better for me to watch at 8:[-], when the most exciting beginning of the play will be almost seen, and young people who can't bear their temper should come out."

"Thank you, grandpa!" Hu Tao and the others thanked politely.

"You're welcome. But you're selling this thing a bit cheaply." He stretched out his hand and slowly touched Qunyu Pavilion, touching the lines on it with his withered fingers, "Well, the workmanship is a bit rough, but the design of this thing is very good. Ingenuity, and a good name, at least it can sell for four or five hundred."

"Grandpa, you're so smart!" Hu Tao almost jumped up and yelled for a whole day. Only this grandpa recognized the value of Qunyu Pavilion, so she shouldn't be too surprised, "If those adults can have half as good eyesight as grandpa, that's fine gone."

"Hahaha, little girl, it's inappropriate for you to praise a blind man like that." The fortune teller amused her.

"I'm sorry, I forgot about it!" Hu Tao smiled apologetically.

"Hahaha... You girl is so interesting, let me mention something to you again. Do you know why those grown-ups don't know what to buy?" The fortune-teller explained to them, "Business is based on faith. Ben, where did the letter come from? Is it a commodity? No! It’s a businessman. You gave a diamond to a child today and asked him to sell it on the street. Even if it was a real diamond, it would be very difficult to sell. Because children do business, they naturally lack trust.”

Hu Tao and the others half-understood, "You mean, because we are children, adults are unwilling to do business with us?"

The fortune teller took a sip of tea and nodded, "Although your price is not high and the form is very fancy, if there are only three of you and there is no adult platform, this business will be difficult to do!"

Hu Tao pondered for a while, Yang Lin's parents were not here, and Aqiu's parents were not easy to get along with, and they were probably busy too, so they wouldn't help them with such a "low-level" small business, why not...

"Master, can you help us stand? You don't need to say anything, just sit here!" Hu Tao looked forward, but unfortunately, the blind man couldn't see.

"Haha, if you want to do business, then we will follow the business route. Either hire me, 100 yuan an hour, and pay half of it upfront for two hours. Or..." The fortune teller deliberately kept a secret.

Hu Tao and Yang Lin have already started to frown, not to mention whether they can get 100 now, even if they can get it, if a group of jade pavilions can't be sold, they will be at a big loss.

"Just say it, another way."

"Yeah." The fortune teller nodded with a smile, "Another way is to entrust the things to me as an agent. As an agent, you can simply understand that I sell them for you, and then get 55% of the profit. Don't underestimate the old man's ability to yell. Worse than you."

The second method is obviously safer than the first one, but the old man's asking price is a bit harsh.

"55 points is 55 points. At worst, I don't want my share." Aqiu's heart was ruthless, and he directly gave up the profit promised by Hu Tao today, "I should invest it! I will make money at the paper making shop in Shengtang in the future, remember Give me some money."

"No problem!" Hu Tao readily agreed.

"Qingshengtang Paper Shop? Has my shop changed its name again?" Yang Lin was still wondering, Hu Tao had already reached a deal with the uncle.

Under the guidance of the uncle, they postponed the auction until 08:30, and went to Aqiu's house halfway to find a big red cloth to cover the Qunyu Pavilion to attract the attention of passers-by.The three walnuts were asked to remain silent and mysterious throughout the whole process.

The fortune teller took off his own signboard and replaced it with "Zhenhai Zhibao Qunyu Pavilion Hot Auction".

As soon as 8:[-] arrived, the crowd of onlookers really increased.

The fortune teller made a powerful fortune-telling, rattled the gossip dial on the table, took a deep breath, and bowed in the direction of the south.

The people around began to mutter in low voices, what are they doing.

The fortune teller suddenly yelled loudly, and the angry voice even overwhelmed the music on the stage.I saw him stepping his feet, lifting his hand, and pulling down the red cloth, so that the treasure that had been hidden for a long time could be seen again.

"Wow!" Hu Tao and the passers-by exclaimed together.

The bright street lamps cast a thin layer of mist on Qunyu Pavilion, which is like a dream. The fairy palace-like design and the metal texture line design are perfectly integrated together. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is not a vulgar thing. .

The fortune teller didn't introduce much, but only talked about its significance in the water god festival, and the shooting time of half an hour. After half an hour, no matter how high the price is, it will not be sold again.

Hearing this, everyone thought it was a sky-high price. As a result, Hu Tao held up a sign saying, "The starting price is 200", and instantly pulled back several people who were about to leave.

The fortune teller smiled confidently, picked up the small hammer on the table, and knocked on the table, "Start shooting!"

At the beginning, everyone was quite cautious, but the price gradually increased, all the way up to 800, and the three Hutao were secretly happy. This price really exceeded their expectations.

With a "bang", the fortune teller knocked on the table again, "It's time."

"What? Has it passed so quickly?" Hu Tao felt that it was less than half an hour.

"Take it when you see it." The fortune teller said to them in a low voice, "1600, the sky is the limit, if there is more, these people will quarrel, and the business will not be done."

"Great!" Hu Tao was so impressed.

The person who bought Qunyu Pavilion was a new wealthy businessman from Yangjia Town, and because of his seniority, he was unable to participate in the ceremony of sending the king ship on the last day.They are in business, and they are very obsessed with the theory of fortune. This incident has become a hurdle in his heart, and he has been in a panic all the time. It is really wonderful to meet this Qunyu Pavilion today. He made a decisive move and planned to enshrine it to the water god on the third day.

"Come on, the three of you can help deliver it to my house." The rich merchant led the way with his belly upright, and the three of Hu Tao trotted and pushed the tricycle, and followed him back.

"Thank you for your hard work!" The wealthy businessman still had more than a dozen yuan in change in his wallet, which he distributed to them as tips.

"That uncle, isn't it 1600?" Yang Lin didn't answer.

"1600? I gave it to the fortune teller. Ah, what do you mean by that look in your eyes? Do I need to lie to you? Look at my wallet. It used to be 2000 yuan, but now I only have 4 red notes left!" These children are ignorant, and they have scolded their mothers long ago.

"You guys are waiting for me here! I'll go back and have a look!" Hu Tao quickly ran back to the stage, sweat dripping from the corners of her eyes before she had time to wipe it off, thinking about going back as soon as possible.

But there, there is no sign of a fortune teller.

"...Cheated?" Hu Tao supported her knees with her hands, her back was wet, and the sweat flowed down her neck all the way to her tanned arms, shining crystal light under the street lamp.

Walnut was very sad.
