Chapter 314： : I don’t feel panic when I have money in my pocket.

As the auctioneer of this auction, Xiao San placed a tall table in front of him. On the table there was a palm-high bronze bell, a delicate gold hammer, and an hourglass.

He picked up the hammer and tapped the bronze bell. A rich and ethereal sound resounded, and everyone unconsciously became quiet.

"The first auction of Mingyue Villa starts now. The first lot is a bottle of Wenyang Pills. There are ten pills in the bottle. Wenyang Pills are beneficial to qi and blood, and can continuously warm and nourish the human body. The medicinal effect is mild. It can be taken by men, women, old and young.

“The base price is 998 taels. If you are interested, please write the price on a bamboo stick and hand it over to the maid. The time is based on the hourglass. When the sand inside completely falls, you will no longer be able to participate in the bidding.”

He turned the hourglass upside down, and the sand inside began to trickle down.

The time it takes for the sand to leak out is 3 minutes. 3 minutes will not give everyone much time to think.

And Shen Yizhi wanted this effect.

Sure enough, seeing the sand leaking continuously, the potential bidders panicked and hurriedly wrote the price on a bamboo stick and placed it on the plate held by the maid.

At the beginning, Shen Yizhi was a little bored, Qing Bao and the other three were impatient to stay here, so they ran off to play by themselves. Otherwise, she can still have a plate of babies.

“Zhizhi, are you bored?” Gu Xueting’s voice sounded in his mind.

Shen Yizhi looked down to the left. Gu Xueting was lazily leaning on the armrest of the low couch, holding a wine glass in his hand and turning it carelessly.

A pair of eyes looked at her steadily.

At this moment, she actually had the feeling that Xuan Ting was appearing in front of her, but his eyes were indeed black.

 Could it be that Gu Xueting was influenced by Xuan Ting? Or is it that Xuan Ting has already begun to devour Gu Xueting?

Shen Yizhi's heart skipped a beat, but it didn't show on his face. He shook his glass and raised his glass, "Yes."

The next moment, she saw Gu Xueting walking towards her.

She was about to stop him, but she saw Gu Xueting still sitting there.

How is this going? !

Clone technique? Or illusion?

Shen Yizhi found that he couldn't tell the difference.

Xuan Ting just walked up, sat down next to her, stretched out his arms, held her on his lap and sat down. Others were completely unaware.

“You...don’t make trouble.” So many people were watching.

Shen Yizhi didn't dare to move too much for fear of being spotted.

Xuan Ting took a sip on her face, and his voice was as clear and mellow as wine, with a sultry drunkenness: "What are you afraid of? They won't be able to find out. Isn't it boring, isn't it good for me to accompany you?"

"I..." Shen Yizhi opened his lips, but it gave him an opportunity to take advantage of.

In the eyes of everyone, the two of them were sitting in their own seats, paying attention to the auction.

Three minutes passed, and the sand in the hourglass drained out. Xiao San arranged the bamboo sticks of the bidders on the high table, and then sprayed the bamboo sticks one by one with the potion, and the writing on them was revealed.

At the same time, this scene is also presented on the projection stone.

The price is clear at a glance.

The person who paid the highest price was a man named Geng, 5,899 taels. It is only 11 taels higher than the person with the second highest price.

The person sitting on Geng's throne is Wen Daoming.

Xiao San singled out his bamboo stick and rang the bronze bell: "Congratulations to this guest, this bottle of Wenyang Pills is yours."

Hearing that Daoming immediately received everyone's attention.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that I was the highest bidder. Brother Chu, I accept it." He raised his hand to Chu Bitao who was diagonally opposite. There was a little pride in his smile.

That’s right, the person who paid the second highest price was Chu Bitao, the master of perfumery. He was only 11 taels lower than Wen Daoming, so he missed out on this lot.

Wen Daoming was very open-minded and said, "It's okay. There are a lot of good things in the back. I brought enough banknotes and I can always buy what I want."

At this moment, Wen Daoming couldn't help but laugh.

Because it suddenly occurred to him that he didn’t bring much money with him when he went out this time!

What can be done?

After bidding on an item, you do not need to pay immediately. Instead, you will wait until the auction is over, then pay and receive the item.

Otherwise, Wen Daoming would be faced with the dilemma of having no money to pay the bill at this moment.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to go to the toilet, he quietly asked the maid who was leading the way: "Well, I am in a hurry when I come out and I don't have much cash with me. Can your village be accommodating? Of course, I will never default on my debt."

The maid took the opportunity to recommend the Big Banyan Tree Foundation to him: "Mr. Wen, our villa can provide loan services."

Hearing Daoming immediately raised his vigilance. Does Mingyue Villa still want to take advantage of this opportunity to make loan sharks?

However, after listening to the maid's detailed explanation, he realized that this was not a loan shark. On the contrary, the interest rate for borrowing money from some foundation was very low, and it also supported repayment in installments.

There’s even no interest for the first month!

Is there such a good thing?

The maid smiled and said: "Do you think our owner will ruin his reputation for temporary gain?"

Wen Daoming thought of the various treasures he saw in the villa and shook his head.

“Okay, take me to see it.”

There is a branch of the foundation in the villa. It is a small courtyard. In the east and west of the courtyard, there is an old vine as thick as a bowl. It is twisted and twisted. The vines climb all over the courtyard walls and roof, and hang down from the eaves, creating a natural appearance. Green curtain.

The curtain is dotted with small fireworks-like flowers in purple, pink and white, which are beautiful and fresh.

As soon as Wen Daoming stepped into the courtyard, his eyes were moistened by the greenery that hit his face.

After entering, the clerk introduced him to the various businesses in his store in detail.

When he returned to Chunming Hall, he heard that Daoming had already put one hundred thousand taels of silver notes in his pocket.

He couldn't help but reach out and touch his chest. The pile of banknotes was lying in the inner pocket of his chest.

It is sad to say that although he is a well-known jade carving master, he also earns a lot of money, even a lot. A single piece of work can be sold for thousands of taels. But this was the first time he had so much money in his pocket.

Who told him to be a housewife? The wife of the family was too strict and never allowed him to take too much money, saying she was afraid that he would buy all the jade if his hands were itchy.

When he found good jade material, he got hot-headed and didn't have enough money to spend. He had to admit this.

So he has now developed a good habit of carrying only a little pocket money in his pocket when going out.

But he had seen the auction brochure. There were several pieces of top-quality jade in it, as well as two jade carvings that had been lost.

One of the two-eared bull-headed jade cups has half-moon-shaped ears, a shallow belly, and a flat bottom. The outside is decorated with relief cloud patterns. The bull's head is also carved with high relief techniques. The remaining small details are also decorated with round carvings, openwork carvings, etc. A carving technique.

The overall decoration is smooth and elegant, and the jade quality is rich and moist. It is truly a rare masterpiece!

If he can auction this jade cup, he might be able to study the lost carving technique.

So, you must never be without money in your pocket.
