Chapter 42(1/2)
Linglong and Amber were held by the maid for everyone to appreciate. The two daggers were shining with cold light, and the hilts were slightly rusted, which seemed to be a bit old.
According to the auction house host, the owner of these two short daggers was a famous female hero in the world more than ten years ago and was once a powerful figure in the world. It’s a pity that the beauty is poor and the fall of a generation of beautiful women is a pity.
There is another record for this dagger... The auctioneer looked at the venue, paused for a moment, and said slowly: On the top of Mount Hua, eleven first-class masters died under this dagger.
I laughed in my heart. Apart from being sharp, this dagger was nothing special, and it was even worse than Xu Kaishan's sky knife. However, the auction house was good at making stories, and always made the ins and outs of the goods mysterious, so that they took the opportunity to raise prices and even made up random things.
The eleven first-grade masters, according to the realm of that year, the first-grade realm is equivalent to the Tongxiang realm. Like Xu Kaishan, a figure in the top ten in the world, can break the building with one sword and cut the river with one finger. They are tidied up like someone chopping melons and vegetables with two daggers. It would be strange if they say they don’t fool them.
Someone in the venue suddenly said, "Shopkeeper Qian, have you all forgotten your vows when you were under Mount Hua?"
The shopkeeper of the auction house said, of course I remember, but more than twenty years have passed, maybe that person is no longer in the world. Even if I say it, what can I do?
I thought that the person under the stage was also a child care found by the auction house, which was indeed a routine.
Manager Qian said, starting to bid, each time increasing the price by 100 taels.
Zhang Youqian was about to shout a price, and I tried to persuade him, now you have 30,000 taels of silver on you, since you are determined to win this pair of daggers, why not just watch the changes and see the way.
Everyone in the audience shouted for a price, and within a few rounds, the price exceeded 3,000 taels. I said you can take action. Zhang Youqian was about to shout for a price, but suddenly Zhao Yu next to him shouted, 4,000 taels!
He directly increased the price by 1,000 taels, and looked like he was determined to win. Zhao Yu said that since this dagger is called Linglong, it just means that he is destined to be with Miss Linglong. Zhao is willing to use flowers to offer Buddha, take this item, and give it to Miss Wang. Thank you for your heroes for your accomplishment!
When everyone heard this, they smiled knowingly and did not continue to bid.
Wang Linglong clapped and smiled.
Zhang Youqian was already unhappy with Zhao Yu. How could Zhao Yu show his attentiveness to Wang Linglong? He sneered and raised his sign and said, 4,01 taels.
Manager Qian said, this friend, let’s increase the price by one hundred taels each time. Zhang Youqian rolled his eyes, four thousand one hundred and one taels. As he said that, he made a provocative look at Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu was famous in the world. Seeing that Zhang Youqian was just a small captain with six doors, he had been against him from the moment he entered the house, so he said, "5,000 taels!"
He wanted to directly increase the price in a unit of 1,000 taels to scare Zhang Youqian away. Who is Zhang Youqian? Then he shouted, 5,01 taels!
Manager Qian reminded him again that the price was increased by 100 each time. I thought to myself that Zhang Youqian was also intentional. He did not follow the rules when speaking and doing things. The more Manager Qian talked about him, the more he did it against him.
Sure enough, he shouted out another five thousand one hundred and one tael.
Zhao Yu was displeased when he heard this. This friend insisted on fighting to the death like this, would both sides suffer?
Zhang Youqian looked at him and said, "I wondered, this is an auction, of course, whoever has the money gets it, and whoever has no money can redeem a big-headed ghost."
How could Zhao Yu stand this run? He gritted his teeth and said, "Since that's the case, don't blame me for being rude." He raised the sign and shouted, "Ten thousand taels!" Zhao Yu was trying to fight for a breath. After shouting out, he breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Zhang Youqian.
Zhang Youqian didn't even raise his eyelids, ten thousand and one taels.
Everyone here took a breath of air. The pair of daggers looked only two or three thousand taels. Now they were called 10,000 taels. Mr. Zhao was getting involved with the little captain, so someone began to inquire about Zhang Youqian's origin. Isn't he just a little captain? Where did he get the courage to challenge Mr. Zhao?
Manager Qian no longer reminded the issue of a 100-liang price increase. He probably has seen this scene many times. After all, they were auctioned and they took out 10% of the transaction volume of the goods as compensation.
If you want to make more money, you have to package the lot to make it a premium. In addition, there is another job to successfully get more than two photographers to fight, and the rest is to use rhetoric to make them raise the price.
I have to say that this time is quite successful.
Ten thousand and one taels, are there any additional price increase?
Zhao Yu's face was a little embarrassed. After all, he just boasted in public and wanted to take a short dagger for Wang Linglong. Now Zhang Youqian has come out halfway and makes trouble. Losing money is a trivial matter. How can he survive in the world after losing face?
Zhao Yu shouted again, "Twenty thousand taels!" When he spoke, his forehead began to sweat. Zhang Youqian shouted as if nothing had happened, "Twenty thousand taels." Zhao Yu whispered, "I don't know where I offended you, why should I target Zhao everywhere?"
I thought to myself that what I said just now was so ugly, and I didn't admit it in a blink of an eye, but Zhang Youqian said, "There is nothing else, I will dislike you." It almost made Zhao Yu so angry.
Zhao Yu said a few times, pondered for a moment and said, "This is what you forced me, if you have the ability, you will shout it up, mountain... mountain ten thousand taels."
I started to stutter a little. I looked at him with a professional look. Judging from his expression, the silver notes on him were only about 20,000 taels, so when I shouted out 30,000 taels, I became a little nervous.
Zhang Youqian said: 30,001 taels. Zhao Yu slapped the table, 40,000 taels! Zhang Youqian said, 40,010 taels!
No more or less, one or two taels each time, which made Zhao Yu almost crazy. He saw his breathing rapid and his veins exposed, and he shouted, "Fifty thousand taels!"
I leaned over and whispered, and he only had 20,000 taels on him, which was almost the same.
Zhang Youqian smiled and you won!
Zhao Yu said hysterically, why don’t you shout? If you have the ability, you can shout!
Zhang Youqian thought casually that Mr. Zhao was rich and arrogant, and his younger brother was not as good as his own, so he was willing to give up the disadvantage!
Zhao Yu was not willing to give up. A broken dagger that could be bought for only 3,000 taels was lifted to 50,000 taels by this guy. His eyes were almost spitting out of fire. With a sound of Canglang, he drew out his sword and pointed at Zhang Youqian. You bid me!
Zhang Youqian didn't even look at him, and said, losing his mind.
Manager Qian looked at Zhao Yu and said, congratulations to Mr. Zhao for getting this treasure. Mr. Zhao, why not follow me to come and hand it over?
It is estimated that Zhao Yu's heart began to bleed. He was the son of Zhao Qiansun. Although the 50,000 taels of Zhao's family were not fatal, it was definitely not a small amount. He has always been known for his calmness. If he had never been so impulsive in normal times, he was so excited by Zhang Youqian's words.
He took a deep breath, felt relieved, and said slowly, I'm sorry, Qianshangguan, I don't have enough money.
Everyone here was talking, and Zhao Yu wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it, but Zhang Youqian said, "Or why I would lend it to you?" Zhao Yu snorted, he stood up and said to the Xuanyuan Sword King. Uncle Wang and his nephew suddenly felt unwell and wanted to take the lead, please forgive me.
Wang Chong did not expect this scene to happen, but he was the master and the old world, so it was not convenient to say anything, so he said, "I am willing to do it."
Manager Qian said, Mr. Zhao withdrew, then the pair of daggers fell into the arms of this Captain Zhang. Captain Zhang, please give it a hand.
Zhang Youqian scratched his head and said that I was not enough money.
When he said this, Zhao Yu was walking to the door. When he heard this, he saw his face flushed, his eyes wide open, and he spitted blood with a sip of blood and fainted.
Someone hurried over and helped Zhao Yu. Wang Chong ordered the housekeeper to make arrangements and sent him back.
Qian Zhangguan was a little unhappy when he saw that Zhang Youqian did not play according to the rules, so he said, "If you don't have a diamond, don't take on porcelain work." If you dare to make Zhao Yu, one of the four young masters in Jiangnan, you will probably be able to afford the 40,000 taels. Oh, zero one taels."
Zhang Youqian took out 30,000 taels of silver notes from his arms and said, "This is 30,000 taels, and there are 10,001 taels left. I, Mr. Zhang, will make up for it. After the shopkeeper Qian found out that the authenticity of the silver notes and confirmed that it was correct, his face calmed down a little. Then write an IOU and find a guarantor.
Zhang Youqian said there is no need to protect the person.
Then why do you believe in you?
Zhang Youqian said sternly, Is this enough because I am Zhang Baiwan's son?
Everyone was uproaring, and I laughed in my heart. Although Zhang Youqian and Zhang Baiwan and his son were in a disagreement, when this situation happened, he still brought him out. Sure enough, when the shopkeeper Qian heard that he was Zhang Baiwan's son, he said a few words of disrespect and did not pursue the matter.
However, King Chong of Xuanyuan Sword looked at Zhang Youqian with admiration. Xie Shiting, the second master of the Xie family, smiled and shook his head. I thought to myself that this young master had done a lot of money back then.
Zhang Youqian took Linglong amber double daggers and came to Wang Linglong. At this time, Wang Linglong no longer had the contemptuous expression before, and looked at Zhang Youqian with interest.
Zhang Youqian took out Linglong, handed it to Wang Linglong, and then said something in her ear. Wang Linglong looked embarrassed when she heard this, she wanted to be angry but didn't come out, and said, "Wait." Turn around and go back to the inner room.
Zhang Youqian came back proudly and asked you what you were saying. Zhang Youqian happily said, "I want to be sleepy with you." The sound was too loud, and everyone listened to it during the meal.
The Xuanyuan Sword King Chong's face immediately became dark, and the other awkward smiled and pretended not to hear it. Zhang Youqian said, "I want to pay my future father-in-law a glass of wine."
Wang Chong groaned and made a fool of himself.
But Xie Shiting said that this little brother is truly in character.
I heard the minister shouting, "The auspicious time has come, and the birthday party has begun!"
Gongs and drums are ringing, and fireworks are rising everywhere on the Water Cloud Pavilion, making them extremely gorgeous.
An old woman with a phoenix crown and a red robe robe walked out with the help of several middle-aged ladies. This man was the ancestor of the Jinling Wang family. The Xuanyuan Sword King hurriedly stood up, and everyone in the field stood up one after another.
On the birthday of our ancestors, I wish our ancestors a happy birthday and heaven!
Everyone also shouted, wishing our ancestors good fortune as long as the East China Sea and longevity as ever as the pine trees in the South Mountains!
The old woman looked happy, but Xuanyuan Sword was filial. This birthday party was so grand that the ancestors were naturally happy. They sat down, drank a few glasses of wine, and said a few words. This old woman can be called a living dinosaur in the world. Oh, living fossils. She has experienced almost all major events in the world in recent decades, but she is also a person who is familiar with the knowledge and reasonable.
Wang and Xie families, Xie Shiting also went over to kowtow to the old woman.
The old woman asked, why didn't Jun Yan come?
Xie Shiting said that she asked me to avenge my ancestors and asked me to bring you a jade Ruyi, which means that I came to kowtow to you early in the morning. The old woman said she hadn't seen her for a long time and missed her.
Wang Linglong said sweetly, "Old ancestor, today your 80th birthday, your grandson specially arranged a sword dance to cheer you up!"
Everyone gave up a piece of open space in the hall, and six young maids in green clothes with swords entered the venue. When the war drums sounded, Wang Linglong was wearing red clothes and strong clothes, and jumped into the sword formation with his sword.
The sword dance originated in the Tang Dynasty and was circulated in the palace. There was a saying that "dance is to express joy, and the sword is to fulfill the meaning". Wang Linglong's set of sword dances are like falling flowers, prosperous and falling brocade. He leads all maids, either tactfully fighting or uniform, and beautiful.
Everyone present was very happy, and Zhang Youqian's eyes were straight and he swallowed his saliva.
Wang Linglong swung several times in the field, left the sword formation, and danced alone in the field, like flowing clouds and water. Although this woman had a bad temper, Jianwu was also first-class.
When Wang Linglong came to us, Zhang Youqian smiled badly. Wang Linglong raised her lips and spitted out a letter with a poisonous snake, stabbing Zhang Youqian, probably because she wanted to take revenge and then she had a rude revenge.
Zhang Youqian oh, and sat on the ground with a flutter.
Wang Linglong smiled and the sword stabbed in the air a few times, and the cold stars dotted like plum blossoms. I couldn't help but admire the good swordsmanship! As he said that, he picked up a glass of wine and was about to drink it.
Wang Linglong shouted, look at the sword!
Another trick of poisonous snake spitting out letters, and the same trick was used again to stab me. I laughed secretly and held the wine glass in my hand. When the sword stabbed me, I raised my head and drank it all.
The tip of the sword stopped half an inch before my forehead. Wang Linglong exclaimed and returned to the field. Zhang Youqian got up and said, "Damn it, I'm so embarrassed."
I said you don’t have much face, but if you lose it, you will lose it.
After Wang Linglong finished dancing with a sword dance, she jumped up three or four feet, came to the top of the hall, stabbed two swords, and a red face turned from the sky.
The first couplet is: The sky increases the years and people increase their lifespan.
The second couplet is: Spring is full of blessings.
