The next morning, after Bai Jing and the others had their meal, they were brought to the auction venue by the staff.
The four of them went straight to the second floor. As for the girl, she was brought to a private room by Yin Xinyue. The two of them chatted while waiting for the auction to begin.
"The service of this New Moon Hotel is really good. They knew that there were four of us here, so they arranged four chairs.”
"Second Master, look. This is our goal today. Deer Grass will be carried out in the second half.”
An auction of this scale was very rare. It was divided into two halves. The first half usually had the first and last items being treasures.
Those rare items that were rarely seen in the market were used as the finale and prize in the first half of the auction. Their value was relatively high, and it was easy to attract others to bid.
It was also a hint that the items in the second half were more precious.
The purpose of dividing the auction into two parts was very simple. It was to let the guests who participated in the auction have an idea.
If he didn't have enough, he would immediately raise money. This would also give everyone a chance to obtain treasures.
Qi Tiezui said to Er Yuehong as he held the catalog and pointed at the finale items.
"Yes, I see it. Lord Zeng, look at the person in the suit in the opposite room. He should be from the Cherry Blossom Country's Chamber of Commerce.”
"Yes, they should be our opponents in this auction. Master Bai, you're going to pay a huge price this time.”
"It's nothing. It's just money. I'm burdened by debt. Second Master will go to the pear garden more often. I'm also seeking benefits for the people of Changsha.”
Bai Jing made a small joke, but his eyes were locked on the box on the right front.
It was not the private room where Yin Xinyue was. The owner of this private room had been staring at Bai Jing since he sat down.
It was as if there was a deep hatred between the two of them.
This person had a burly figure and a rough face. It seemed that he was from the northwest and had been exposed to the wind and sun for a long time.
On the table, there was a roll of cowhide whip. Based on the above information, Bai Jing speculated that this person should have stolen the famous card in the original novel.
In the end, Peng Sanbian left the New Moon Hotel in a sorry state.
However, Bai Jing did not know why he was hostile to him. He should not have any enmity with him.
"This is ridiculous!"
"What's wrong? Master Bai, what's inexplicable? Hmm? Who was that person? Why do I feel that this person doesn't seem to be very friendly to us?”
"Who knows? The auction was about to begin. An auction of this scale was not common. Lord Myna, aren't you going to bid for an item and take it home to treasure?”
"I'm not prepared. My coffin money won't even make a splash if I throw it in. I won't embarrass myself.”
The auction began with the sound of a gong. Many buyers competed to bid, and one item after another was successfully auctioned.
The venue gradually became lively.
However, Bai Jing found that there seemed to be something fishy about it.
Most of the items in the first half of the auction today were from the White Pavilion, which Bai Jing did not expect.
"Why do I feel like Uncle Yin is hiding something from me? Most of the items in the first half were mine.”
"Just today's earnings alone are around 400,000. It seems that Uncle Yin has prepared an opponent for me.”
"Three Whip Peng? Hehe, forget it, let's continue watching.”
As the crisp ringing of bells rang out, a gong sounded as the end.
The emcee on the stage smiled and announced to the crowd,
"The first round of the auction has ended. Everyone, please take a break. The second round of the auction will begin later.”
......
"Master Bai, do you rich people like to play like this? In the past, I've only heard of the sound of cannons being able to fetch ten thousand taels of gold.”
"I've learned something today. When the bell rings, all the silver is spent. You rich people really know how to play.”
Qi Tiezui rubbed the space between his eyebrows as he kept complaining.
"That's nothing. The first half is just the appetizer, the second half is the main event. Didn't you see the private rooms on the second floor?”
"The starting price of the second round will at least double. Why, are you feeling heartache seeing others spend money?”
Qi Tiezui smiled awkwardly. Bai Jing admired Qi Tiezui's stubbornness.
"What's there to feel sorry for? It's not my money that's being spent. Second Master, why don't you leave for the second half? He could not even see a shadow of this money.”
"You can't be heartbroken later!"
Second Master took a sip of tea and smiled without saying anything. How could he not feel heartache? This was his family's property.
However, he felt that if the girl's illness could be cured, the money would be worth it.
" I'm fine, Master Bai. Tell me if I was right or wrong to bring the girl here. It's fine if I don't know. If the girl knows that we have to spend so much money to treat her, I'm afraid of her."
"That's why I asked Xinyue to accompany her. With Xinyue guiding him, I believe that she can accept it. Think about the good days in the future. The two of you are white-haired, hugging your grandchildren and enjoying the shade under the big locust tree.”
"It's a beautiful thing to think about."
"Haha, Master Bai really knows how to enjoy life. You're making me want to find someone to marry.”
Bai Jing's words were indeed very vivid and effective. Second Master stopped thinking about it when he heard this.
That's right, compared to the image in his mind, what was the point of spending this little money? Girl, you have to accompany me to grow old.
"This Lord Bai's ability to deceive people is getting stronger and stronger. With just one sentence, he made Second Master fall into a fantasy.”
Just as they were chatting, Peng Sanbian from the northwest came to Bai Jing's private room angrily.
Judging from his expression, he did not come with good intentions!
