"Lady Qingcheng is indeed an extraordinary woman with both beauty and artistic skills!"
"That's right. It can be said to be from the north and south. There is no one who can surpass the top courtesan!" It seems like I need to walk around a lot in the future. I believe that in just a few months, this Red Chamber will be the most popular building in the world. This lowly one will now congratulate you! "
"Aiyo, look, the top scholar is the top scholar after all, and this literary talent speaks differently. This old woman thanks you for your wise words. When the bidding starts later, this old one hopes that the top scholar will win the first place!" The red-robed old woman immediately raised her voice, speaking with a happy expression.
"That's right, that's right!" The forty year old man known as Master Top Scorer was already the top scholar for an unknown year. When he heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Yes, I am." There were already people silently snorting at him from the sidelines.
"Alright, red mother, it's about time. When will the bidding begin?" Someone was already impatiently asking.
"That's right, we've already been waiting for a long time. Three jugs of wine have already been drunk. Let's start quickly!" All of them became anxious, and the scene immediately became chaotic.
Under the thin veil, Leng Hong Xiu's lips silently curled up, instantly causing a commotion below, as she let out a few gasps of surprise. A beauty's smile, even if silent, was still moving, and the reason why Leng Hong Xiu laughed was because she had finally seen the person who had not appeared before — Sen Luo.
At this moment, Sen Luo was still dressed in a black robe, but it was obvious that his shirt had been heavily adorned. Just by looking at his clothes, one could tell that they were made from the glossy and luxurious black cloud, and the close-fitting material also revealed his tall and slender figure, and the black ribbon around his waist, along with the two large black pearls, gave off a shiny black sheen in the middle of the hall filled with bright lanterns. His long hair, which had always been covered, was also suddenly adorned with a white jade hairpin.
The ladies who were pouring wine all blushed at the same time. Even the bawd, who was the age of red, was dazed for a good while when she saw Sen Luo. She couldn't help but wonder what had happened in Jiangdong City these past few days. It was already rare to see such a handsome man like Leng Xiu, but now, there was actually such a charming and handsome young man. This was truly a feat that she had never seen before in her life.
The other customers looked at Sen Luo with jealousy and hatred, but turned their heads to look at him with disdain. After all, the so-called auction was about money, not looks.
However, Leng Hong Xiu stood up from in front of the case, "In order to give face to everyone who is present, the bidding will be held in private. Mom asks you to bring the bidding box over!"
Hong Shi immediately responded, "Ah, this old man will go get it now!"
The crowd could hear Lady Mo's voice, clear and bright, without the usual sweetness and welcoming tone of a brothel girl. However, this made them feel refreshed, after all, they were used to having such a new taste. Who wouldn't want to have a taste?
"May I ask Miss Mo, how can I not reveal this to the public?" Someone asked a question first.
The so-called unofficial method is for all the young masters and masters to write down the highest price that you guys are willing to give on a piece of paper, and at the same time, place all of the signatures on the books into this bidding box. After you have finished, let mom check the bids by herself in front of everyone, and then bring out the highest bidder.
The moment Leng Hong Xiu's words landed, the crowd immediately rushed to nod their heads, "Lady Qingcheng's idea is extremely good, so let's start quickly!"
The group of people looked at the red wooden box in the Red Wife's hands. The girls who were pouring wine and pouring tea beside them had already brought along ink and paper. The impatient ones had already snatched the pens and pens to write down the price without waiting for the pens to be properly placed.
However, at this moment, Leng Hong Xiu said again, "Everyone, please wait a moment. Before the bidding, Qingcheng still has one more thing to say."
Although everyone was anxious, they still asked patiently, "Please speak, Miss!"
I believe that your mother has already told you that Qingcheng has only been here for three days, and is about to return to the south side of the capital. All of you are honored guests, so if you are unable to bid tonight, I hope that you do not make things difficult for your mother and this building. In the future, if you have free time, all of you can go to the capital's Red House.
Just the words' welcome 'was enough to make one's imagination run wild, not to mention that they had already seen this Lady Qingcheng's beauty, and believed that she was only here for a few days. After all, even if this red house had been redecorated, it would still be a little shabby compared to the other buildings, but where would they find such a beautiful courtesan?
