Su Cheng saw that Luo Yuan was also sitting in the main seat, and was extremely dissatisfied in her heart. She was a friend of her grandfather's generation, why was Luo Yuan even qualified to sit with him?
Of course, even though he was unhappy, Su Cheng did not dare to say it out loud. After all, this was the Gu family, so the Gu family did not say anything.
Not long after, the Old Man Gu was supported by Gu Xiaoying all the way to the banquet by Gu Xiaoying. When the old man arrived, the atmosphere in the room became even more lively.
"Originally, this was just an old man's private matter, but it caused everyone to worry and it was a waste of money. Thank you everyone for remembering me as an old man. I won't say much more, so let's start! " The Old Man Gu laughed.
After Luo Yuan heard this, her heart moved. So today was not the day where Gu Xiaoying and Su Cheng were betrothed, but it was really a turning point. Luo Yuan didn't know how to describe her mood, and she started to curse herself in her mind.
"Grandpa Gu, I have something to say. Should I say it?" Su Cheng stood up and said.
Since Old Man Gu was in a good mood today, he didn't care about Su Cheng's rude actions and laughed: "Su Cheng, if you have something to say, just say it! Don't keep everyone waiting. "
Seeing that Old Man Gu agreed to his actions, Su Cheng laughed complacently: "Today is Grandpa Gu's birthday, my grandfather dragged me to greet you, and also allowed me to bring a small gift as your birthday present."
With that, Su Cheng took out a small box from his bosom. No one knew what was inside, but Su Cheng did not forget to give Luo Yuan a provocative look, as if to say, "You bumpkin, don't tell me you didn't even prepare a present?"
There was no other reason. Before the old man retired, he was an official, and his position was not low either. The old man had never accepted gifts from anyone before, from the first day he took up his position until he retired.
And now, Su Cheng's words were smacking the old man's face while he was still alive. Wasn't he looking for trouble?
Sure enough, the old man spoke, "Alright, let's move first! Let's talk about these things after we finish our meal! "
Seeing that the old man's expression was not good, Su Cheng felt a little guilty. After all, he had a task at home, and if he did not complete it, how would he explain it to the rest of his family? Thus, Su Cheng sat down and began to eat honestly, feeling even more jealous of Luo Yuan.
No one spoke, and no one dared to show their heads at this time. The old man was already unhappy with Su Cheng's words previously, but if they were to tidy up again, then their entire group would be swept out of by the Old Man Gu!
"Old Master, we also know that you have been honest and loyal throughout your life, but we have also stayed with you for a long time. Is that all right with you? Let's hold an auction, and use the money from the auction as charity. This way, the old man won't decline, right? " Just as he finished his meal, a merchant stood up and said.
When the lordmaster heard this, he also developed some good feelings towards this person. He knew that he wouldn't accept the gift and wanted to curry favor with him from the other side. This person had a bit of an eye for an eye.
"This is a good idea, but I, this old man, will have to accept this reputation." I hope everyone doesn't have any opinions. " The Old Man Gu laughed.
That person was very happy to see the old man agree to his suggestion. To think that he had actually obtained the approval of the Old Man Gu, it would be a great honor to speak of it.
Thus, very soon, someone cleaned up the dining table and arranged the room. A simple auction was held just like that.
"Luo Yuan, I saw that you came empty-handed, and did not prepare any presents compared to me, right? How about it? Why don't you ask me to give you two things that I can see through and to put on an act? "
Su Cheng saw that Luo Yuan was standing at the side empty-handed, and thought that she did not have any gifts prepared.
Luo Yuan glanced at Su Cheng and asked, "Why do I hear a dog bark?"
Without waiting for Su Cheng to get angry, one of them ran over and pointed at Luo Yuan's nose and said, "You are Luo Yuan? You need to be more polite when speaking, you need to pay attention to your own identity, this is not your Niu Jia Village, so you need to think about what the consequences would be if you say anything, and not make a mistake! "
Luo Yuan was furious. If she did not show off her might, did she really think that she was some sick cat or dog that dared to provoke him? Luo Yuan asked: "And who are you? As for how I talk, it's not up to you to point fingers. If you have time, you'd better take care of yourself first! I didn't go out today to check on the calendar, so all sorts of cats and dogs should come and call out to me! "
The man's face was flushed red, his eyes were about to spew fire, but was held back by Su Cheng, who said: "Uncle Gu, do not be angry, if you are angry at such a person, it will lower your status. Luo Yuan, Luo Yuan, you truly do not know how to live, you actually dared to scold Xiao Ying's uncle, I really do not know what to say to you. "
Although Luo Yuan was shocked, she did not express it. So what if Xiao Ying's uncle was scolding him?
"The auction will begin now!" Who wants to be the first to go on stage? " The auctioneer said.
Su Cheng rolled his eyes, took his own box and walked up the stage, and said: "I'll go first. Everyone knows that my Su Family has a business background, and my grandfather usually collects some antiques when he has nothing better to do. The object in this box in my hand is one of them, and it can be said to be the most precious. "
Pausing, Su Cheng continued: "The thing in the box, is a piece of jade. When people play with jade, they raise jade. Since my grandfather didn't tell me which dynasty they came from, I don't want to say too much about the bottom line.
The people below the stage were all stirred up, Su Family was one of the richest merchants in the capital. The jade that Old Man Su had his eyes on must be the best jade in the world.
Su Cheng was very satisfied with the sensation he had created, and was also grateful towards his grandfather. If not for his grandfather, he didn't know if he would have been able to pass today.
"This … this is like the jade of the Tang Dynasty. It's incomparably round and smooth and has been used for a long time. This jade is something good for big bro!"
"Tang Dynasty? "How … How is this possible?"
"That's right, it is indeed the jade of the Tang Dynasty, and it is even with Tian Bai's jade." That's right, it is indeed the jade of the Tang Dynasty, and it is even with Tian Bai's jade.
"Alright, since everyone has seen enough, let's start the auction now. The starting price is five hundred thousand, and each increment must be at least one hundred thousand. Begin!"
