Chapter 240 This thing, I am bound to get it!(1/2)
Looking at the time, the auction started in ten minutes. Chen Xuan was very diligent in pouring water and peeling fruit for Zhu Yu and the others. At this time, she didn't look like the white-collar worker she had before, but more like a servant.
Zhu Yu suddenly thought of something and asked:
"Chen...is it Tiangan? Xuan, is it the beginning of the Thousand Character Classic?"
Chen Xuan suddenly paused, raised his head, and looked at Zhu Yu with some surprise:
"I didn't expect Mr. Zhu to guess it."
"Actually, I should have guessed it a long time ago," Zhu Yu smiled, "It can be called Qiankun Auction House, so ranking it in this way is also the meaning of the question."
The two of them said nothing.
However, Cao Dalong was very curious and wanted to ask, but Ran Jie stopped him with his eyes.
The auction started, and a beautiful woman walked to the center of the hall, and her crisp voice spread to every room:
"Dear guests, welcome to Qiankun Auction House to participate in this auction. Without further ado, please bring out the first item."
A beautiful woman in Hanfu carried a bronze seal to the front of the stage. A spotlight shone on the bronze seal, revealing the entire bronze seal.
There is also a small screen on the TV in each room showing clear photos of the six sides of the copper seal.
While showing, the host introduces:
"This bronze seal is the seal of Liejiaomi, King of the Wusun Kingdom in the Thirty-six Kingdoms of the Western Regions. It was excavated from Kazakhstan and authenticated by authoritative experts. This Liejiaomi is the husband of Princess Xijun of the Han Dynasty.
…”
As a native of the northwest, Zhu Yu knew that this hunter was arrogant. For the dynasty, marriage was a political means, but for the princess sent, it was a disaster. According to the custom of Wusun country, when the old king dies, his
A concubine will be inherited by his successor, whether that successor is his son or his brother.
Both princesses Jieyou and Xijun have more than one husband. In such an environment...
Zhu Yu looked at this square seal and felt very uncomfortable.
"...the starting price is one million yuan, and each increase in price shall not be less than 100,000 yuan."
The starting price was relatively low, but because this Liejiaomi was somewhat famous and had the added bonus of being the Khan's son-in-law, the auction was very lively, and after a while, the price rose to 4.5 million yuan.
"Five million." Zhu Yu suddenly increased the price.
"Guest No. 9 bids five million." The host spoke very gently and did not deliberately stir up the atmosphere. If someone made an offer, she would just announce it.
Zhu Yu's bid surprised many people, because he had never made a bid from the beginning. Now that he suddenly increased the price, was he trying to cut off the price, or was it just a whim?
For this copper seal, five million is already considered a high price. After all, no matter how famous Liejiaomi is, he is only one of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions. Wusun is considered a big country among the thirty-six countries, but that's all.
.
If it weren't for the famous horses produced in Wusun and their important position, the marriage might not have been their turn.
"...The third time...Okay, deal! Lot No. 1 belongs to guest No. 9!"
Zhu Yu didn't expect that he would get this copper seal just by making a casual quotation. In fact, he didn't particularly want it, but he just had some feelings about it at the time.
The seal was delivered, and Chen Xuan assisted Zhu Yu in transferring the money to the auction house.
Zhu Yu Tianyan glanced at Tianqi and was surprised to find that this seal actually had another mystery?
What a treasure!
Not bad! I’ve been really lucky lately!
Seeing that Zhu Yu's expression suddenly improved and he smiled, Chen Xuan asked curiously:
"Mr. Zhu, do you think this seal is very good?"
"It's very good, I should say, very good!"
Zhu Yu played with the copper seal. If it wasn't inconvenient now, he would have planned to study it carefully.
"... Next, the second auction item is the royal sword of Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji. As we all know, Ming Xuanzong was a very wise and enlightened emperor. If he had not died young..."
The host had a relatively clear understanding of the origins of Ming Xuanzong, and his introduction was not stiff at all, it felt a bit like telling a story.
And because of films such as "The Ming Dynasty" and "Ming Dynasty 1566", as well as some people on the Internet exaggerating the character of the Ming Dynasty emperors, some emperors of the Ming Dynasty were praised a lot.
Zhu Zhanji, Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, is one of them. Many people say that if Zhu Zhanji had not died early, the Ming Dynasty would not have been so miserable later. At least there would not have been the Tumu Fortress Incident, nor would there have been so many weird things that happened later.
Come.
Of course, this is just people's speculation.
So although Zhu Zhanji is not as famous as his grandfather Yongle the Great, he is at least somewhat famous. So the starting price of his sword was one million, and it soon soared to 7.1 million——
Zhu Yu saw on the big screen that this sword was very well preserved, no worse than the swords of Emperor Qianlong stored in the British Museum.
When it was displayed previously, the sword was unsheathed. It looked like it had no rust and was well maintained.
Think about it, the things used by the emperor are more expensive than the king's seal that I took before, which is normal.
However, Zhu Yu had no interest in the knife. He suddenly remembered that he also had a bronze pen, so he took it out and rolled it in his hand.
Chen Xuan's eyes lit up when he looked at the pen, but he refrained from asking.
Her role at the moment was not that of a staff member. Zhu Yu had no intention of taking out the money, so she naturally couldn't ask more questions.
In the end, the sword was auctioned away by guest No. 16 for eleven million.
From Zhu Yu's point of view, he didn't expect that the knife was quite expensive.
"The third lot is a piece of jade from the Kunlun Mountains. This piece of jade is extraordinary. It contains a mass of water. This water has existed for tens of millions of years..."

The girl in Hanfu brought up the jade on a lacquer tray.
This jade is about the size of a football and has an irregular shape.
"...This jade comes from mountains and rivers. The white jade seed material has reached the level of mutton-fat jade and has no cracks. After expert inspection, except for the bag of water in the middle, the entire jade flesh is integrated inside and outside, and there are no impurities.
.”
The presence of water in rocks is not a particularly unusual thing. It is mainly caused by water stored in some crystal bags or agate bags. This is the product of changes in the movement of the earth's crust.
But as soon as this piece of jade was brought up, Zhu Yu felt his heavenly eye sending out a signal of extreme desire!
It wants it!
Desperately want it!
From such a distance, can the third eye feel the difference in the jade?
Zhu Yu simply opened his Heavenly Eye and looked over, and found that there was indeed a bag of water in the jade, but the water shone with colorful light under the glance of the Heavenly Eye. It was obviously a ball of energy water!
Zhu Yu really didn't expect that he would encounter such a ball of energy that the Sky Eye desires here!
This ball of energy has been liquefied, and it is much greater than the energy contained in those jadeite!
Zhu Yu only had one thought at this moment!
Gotta get it!
"Because this jade is of high quality, large, and weighs 12,247 grams. In addition, it contains a bag of water that may have been formed hundreds of millions of years ago, so it is extremely valuable."
After the host made a rare introduction, he then said:
"Therefore, the starting price is 10 million yuan, and each increase will be no less than 500,000 yuan. The auction begins now!"
All over the world, the main consumption place for jade is China. In other words, only China, or people in the Greater China circle have a special liking for jade.
Therefore, most of the people who come to participate in the auction here have some research on jade. Therefore, the auction was quite intense from the beginning, from 10 million to 55 million in less than one minute!
And even so, the price keeps rising!
Zhu Yu pressed the button and entered a number of 80 million.
"The price for the guest in Room 9 is 80 million." The host quoted the price calmly.
As soon as the price came out, there was a moment of silence.
Everyone is increasing their prices by 3 to 5 million. No. 9 is not following the rules. By raising so much at once, isn’t it because he is determined to win?
However, none of the dozen or so guests were short of money. Some people paused and immediately followed them.
"Guest No. 15 quoted a price of 85 million!"
"Guest No. 9 offers 100 million!"
Zhu Yu currently has a lot of money, but this is the first time he has seen such a stone with energy water. He feels that as long as it does not exceed 600 million, he can accept it.
His quotation really scared some people so much that they stopped bidding. It wasn't because they were really afraid, but because they felt it wasn't worth it.
But some guests' anger was aroused, and guest No. 11 asked for 110 million.
Although the subsequent quotations were not as frequent as before, the bidding range was much wider!
"One hundred and eighty million!" Guest No. 8 suddenly made a bid, which also shocked the others.
This time, even the host was a little surprised, because this piece of jade was brought out by guest No. 8.
Is this a price offer, or is it intended to be recycled?
