Chapter 104 Auction
Chapter 104 Auction
Reaching into the backpack, the little yellow chicken lay there motionless. Mu Ruixi touched her somewhat dry yellow short hair, hoping that he could last for an hour, no, an hour, he would definitely let him taste his favorite flavor.
Don't panic, hold on, mother will protect you.
The light in the hall suddenly dimmed, leaving only the dimmest light. On each table was a white candle, the flame flickering as if it could be extinguished with just a breath.
"Be careful, don't let it go out."
Mu Ruixi had seen the lighting of sky lanterns in "Grave Robber Diary". She remembered it very clearly, but she was lighting a lantern, while their lanterns were bright and could not be blown out no matter how hard they tried.
She felt that there must be a big plan behind this. Out of curiosity, she walked up to Gao Ting and asked mysteriously, "Why is this?"
Gao Ting blinked his eyes and said mischievously, "If it goes out, you won't be able to see anything."
It's such a big secret, could you please not be so casual?
He immediately put a small lid on the candle to ensure that the light would not be easily extinguished.
Gao Ting smiled at Mu Ruixi for a while, then told the truth: "This lamp is used by underground traders to count the number of people. Once it goes out, it means the customer has left, and they can prepare for the next item.
Well, this is to help customers better understand their mentality?
This is not an easy thing to do. The number of items in the auction house is limited. Even if you want to exchange, you have to consider your own inventory.
Zhang Shuhe said calmly in their ears: "Don't argue with me when I want something later."
Mu Ruixi was amused by her: "We can guarantee you, but will others compete with you?"
Zhang Shuhe ignored them and continued peeling the apple: "I don't care what others think of me, I just hope you don't tell me what I want."
She didn't seem to be talking to Mo Rixi, but to Gao Ting instead.
A strange emotion surged in Mu Ruixi's heart. At this moment, an elegant man walked down from the stage. He looked very familiar: "Gentlemen, gentlemen, today's auction is about to begin."
Following the emcee's announcement, two heavily made-up beauties appeared on the stage. But strangely, the twins didn't bring anything with them, and only the twins were spinning around on the stage.
"What's going on?" Mu Ruixi was stunned. Zhang Shuhe glanced at her indifferently: "Don't you realize that these two are the protagonists of this auction?"
Damn, what era is this? How can someone actually sell themselves?
"One thousand taels." A middle-aged man said.
"1100 taels."
Every time the auctioneer raised a bid, it would be captured by the auctioneer hiding in the dark, who would then quote the price. Before long, the price for the two men was raised to 1500 taels of silver.
Mu Ruixi stared in amazement as she watched two beautiful women being bought with smiles on their faces. She felt as if she was in a fantasy world.
"Why are they still so happy?" Mu Ruixi couldn't believe her eyes. In the past, every person who was trafficked would cry bitterly, but these two women could still smile so brightly in front of her.
"Of course I'm happy. By selling my body to them, 30% of the commission is theirs. After all, there are still rights in this world. If the person being sold doesn't want it, then they can be free." Gao Ting spoke very little today. Because he was wearing a very attractive outfit, he only asked some very profound questions.
Mu Ruixi looked expectant: "How long will it take Wu Si to finish?"
"We'll talk about the good stuff later. As for Wuxiang, that goes without saying."
They arrived too early. He couldn't let the auction start early, so he had no choice but to wait here.
Zhang Shuhe stared at the gifts on the stage with excitement. When she received the third gift, she pointed at the jade hairpin and said, "I must have this one."
Well, women all love jewelry, but who would be willing to give away a hairpin that was broken and then glued back together, and it was taken away from Shuhe. A smart person would not fight with others for a broken hairpin, even though she said that she got it from the Queen of the Western Country.
Mu Ruixi touched her chin and asked curiously, "Are you in cahoots with the Queen of the Western Country?"
Zhang Shuhe grinned, looking clueless, and said to Mu Ruixi, "Don't pay attention to them. This is my mother's relic. It was later stolen. Someone said it was obtained from the previous queens. I ran all the way here. You will definitely praise me."
Is it true or not? The Liu family is so mysterious and is a target that the royal family is trying to recruit. Who knows if someone will say that the Liu family has a relationship with every empress of the Western Kingdom.
"What does Ruixi think?" Suddenly, she saw Gao Ting's handsome face. He smiled gently and said softly, "If I see any Ruixi, buy her."
Hey, don't scare her. No one in the world can compare to Gao Ting. If you let a poor guy like her pay for it, you might as well sell her.
She wanted to say that she was poor, but when she saw Gao Ting was in rags for her, she felt ashamed, not to mention that he was so good to her.
"Okay." He almost squeezed out these two words from between his teeth, feeling that the loss this time was simply too great.
When Gao Ting received the news, he laughed like a child. Seeing his innocent smile, Mu Ruixi felt a lot better.
Zhang Shuhe saw the situation and grabbed it: "There's still one for me."
"Then your dream will come true sooner." Mu Ruixi told the truth. She would go back to find the two men and see if they could lend her some more money.
Zhang Shuhe pursed her lips, holding the broken hairpin in her hand, and smiled happily.
Everyone's eyes fell on the stage, looking at the three people in the private seats. His eyes were as deep as the sea, and quickly moved to the stage, waiting for the person he was looking for.
With the end of the auction of ten lots, the next auction also came to an end, and the auction items that both of them had been looking forward to for a long time were finally about to appear.
Mu Ruixi's blood began to boil. She straightened her body slightly, her face full of anxiety, and she didn't relax for a second. If the host said something had no taste, she would buy it immediately. No matter how much it cost, Zhang Shuhe would pay for her. Seeing her so generous in buying the broken hairpin, Mu Ruixi felt that she was a rich person.
