Chapter 129 Building Ship (please vote for me)

Following Bai Pang's gaze, Fang Yue also looked out the window.

At some point, the flower boat had arrived on the Hun River outside the city.

After all, it is the second largest river in the Wei Dynasty. Even if it is close to its source, the river is still extremely wide, about a hundred feet.

The river surface is open, and strands of mist are floating on the river surface under the moonlight.

event?

What kind of event can a brothel flower boat have?
What other grand event is going to be held here?

While Fang Yue was thinking, on the river not far away, a more luxuriously decorated building boat came slowly through the waves.

At the same moment, the melodious sound of the piano sounded, and a graceful and clear female voice came:
"Tonight, the night of the full moon coincides with a grand gathering. It is a great honor for all distinguished guests to come. Tonight's small gathering will include many treasures that have been harvested in this building recently. You will definitely go home satisfied."

Following the melodious music of the piano, a woman with a looming and graceful figure wearing a red gauze slowly boarded the middle building boat. A pair of big watery eyes scanned the other surrounding building boats shyly and timidly.

"Is this an auction?" Fang Yue looked at the fat man next to him in surprise and asked.

He really didn't expect that this fat white man would take him on a flower boat and drink flower wine, not to find a girl, but to participate in an auction.

Is this still the fat white man who keeps saying he wants to bring Fang Yue Lai to see the world?
Moreover, this auction is also interesting.

Taking advantage of the name of the Brothel Flower Boat, it was held on the water of the Hun River outside the city.

The people who participated in the auction were all among the other buildings and boats. When the bids were made, they could only be heard but not seen. In the end, the buildings and boats dispersed and returned to the city, which saved a lot of trouble.

"Haha, it's not like we've caught up. This lucky boat meeting is held once a month, and you can often see a lot of good stuff. Not to mention all kinds of secret medicines and elixirs, you can even see Qi-sensing secrets sometimes."

Fatty Bai said in a serious tone.

The Secret Book of Qi Sensing is only owned by a few inheritances in small places like Xiahe County, so it is very precious.

But here in Fucheng, it could appear at an auction, which is really beyond imagination.

Fatty Bai continued: "However, that also depends on luck, and it doesn't happen every month."

Fang Yue nodded to express his understanding.

If Qi-sensing secrets were auctioned at every auction, I'm afraid there wouldn't be so few Qi-sensing secrets in Xiahe County, or in other words, Qi-sensing realm warriors.

After all, many forces in Xiahe County can always afford a Qi-sensing secret book if they are really willing to save up over the years.

But since there are still so few, there must be a reason.

"Today's first auction item is brought by the Yue Chong Mountain Tea Company. It is the top-quality new tea with an enviable fragrance. This tea is picked by a virgin in her mouth and roasted at her body temperature."

A woman's voice sounded from the central building on the boat.

When Fang Yue's attention was attracted, he didn't expect that this tea would appear at the auction.

"This time Yuezhong Shancha Company provided a total of two kilograms. The starting price is 300 taels of silver per kilogram, and each increase in price will not be less than 50 taels."

Following the woman's voice, quotes were heard from the surrounding buildings and boats.

As a hot commodity in Shanyang Fucheng recently, as the opening of the auction, it still attracted many bids.

The last two kilograms of tea were sold for more than a thousand taels of silver each.

The price is ten times that in the store.

I have to say that there are quite a few wealthy people in this city who don’t treat money as money.

Immediately afterwards, the auction will continue.

However, although the next auction items were good, Fang Yue also followed them to take a look at the swords that had been tempered for thousands of years, the elixirs for beauty and skin care, and the calligraphy and paintings of famous artists.

There was even a prisoner's daughter later, a pitiful boudoir lady.

However, these East and West are less and less interested.Of course, the main reason was that he was short of money. He had no shopping plans when he came to Fucheng this time, so he didn't bring much money with him.

Besides, even if he brought it, with his current net worth, he probably wouldn't be able to compete.

On the other hand, Fatty Bai took action frequently.

However, this guy raised the price every time and finally gave up.

The only thing I really managed to get my hands on was a 300-year-old wild ginseng.

"Next, we invite Miss Xiangjun, a new folk artist from Shanyang Mansion, to perform for us."

Halfway through the auction, the woman in red on the boat in the central building walked to the center of the high platform, and her delicate voice echoed throughout the boat.

As her voice fell.

On the boat, a woman wearing red clothes, with a snow-white face, skin that could be broken by blows, and a voluptuous figure walked up holding a guqin and bowed slightly to everyone.

This woman is obviously very charming, her whole body is full of charming flavor, but she also has an extremely pure flavor, which is really rare.

However, it was only for a moment that everyone's attention was focused on the woman's guqin.

This guqin does not look too delicate, but is more simple and natural. A white and slender plain hand, and a small white hand, gently play on the guqin, and bursts of pleasant sounds flow out.

"It's a coincidence that this girl Xiangjun is from Xiahe County. It's just that she wasn't well-known at that time. Unexpectedly, she suddenly rose to prominence when she came to Shanyang Mansion, and she has been very popular recently." Bai Xingqiu introduced.

While talking, someone knocked on the door of the private room.

It turned out that the wild ginseng that Fatty Bai had just photographed was delivered.

At this point, Fang Yue also understood that the auction was suspended for a while just to communicate with the person who had previously auctioned the items for sale.

Soon the song was played and the auction continued.

"This staff was obtained from the Moshan tribe. It is said to be the portable weapon of the chief elder of the tribe. It is made of an unknown tree trunk. After testing, ordinary Yimui warriors can only use a thousand-forged steel knife to leave traces on the surface, but cannot Cut this staff in pieces.”

The woman in red held a twisting and winding wooden staff that basically maintained its original state, and introduced it to the guests on the surrounding boats.

"Hey, this thing has been rejected twice. Look at its shape. Who can use it to make a weapon? Besides, gold and iron can't be melted and recast. This is a waste." Fatty Bai said.

Apparently he came more than once.

Fang Yue nodded after hearing this. This thing really didn't look like much. It was weird, twisted and winding. It would definitely be difficult to use as a weapon.

It is also made of wood and cannot be divided and smelted. If you buy it back, it will really become a sight.

Besides, this thing is probably a symbol of the Moshan tribe. If you buy it and take it home, you may suffer revenge from the survivors of the Moshan tribe.

The imperial court defeated the Moshan tribe, but it did not mean that all the mountain people in the Moshan tribe were wiped out.

The starting price is 5000 taels. Rich people are not taken advantage of and will not buy a flashy or risky item.

This is also why this item failed to be auctioned.

"6000 taels!"

However, Bai Xingqiu had just finished explaining to Fang Yue and said with certainty that the stick would be unsold again, and the next moment someone actually made an offer.

He also directly added 1000 taels to the base price, looking like a prodigal who was very proud and vowed to win this thing.

The sound came from the flower boat he was on.When Fatty Bai heard this, he asked the envoy next to him to quote, and he raised the price by 50 taels as usual.

"Six thousand and fifty taels."

"Didn't Brother Bai say that this item will not be auctioned, and the price will be increased?" Fang Yue asked in confusion.

After all, Fatty Bai bid a lot in the first half, but not many of them actually got it, so he looked like a shill.

There's no guarantee that he won't be targeted. Maybe someone will take advantage of him this time.

"Hey, don't worry. I know the person who made the bid just now. I saw him when he entered the room just now. This person will definitely not give up. He just likes to go against me." Bai Xingqiu explained.

Fang Yue nodded immediately to express his understanding.

There is competition among aristocratic families, which is passed on to the next generation. It is normal to compete for strengths and weaknesses on weekdays.

In the era in Fang Yue's memory of his previous life, there were still wealthy young men fighting for their wealth, let alone this world.

Suddenly, the image of Fatty Bai became more and more vivid in Fang Yue's heart.

"Six thousand and fifty taels, once. Is there anyone else who bids? If not, twice or three times."

"Congratulations to this buyer for winning this stick."

At this moment, the voice of the female host in red came.

Fatty Bai was stunned immediately, as if he couldn't believe it, and quickly turned his head to look at Fang Yue and said, "That woman was talking about me just now? Did I take a picture of this useless wooden stick?"

Seeing Fang Yue nodding, Fatty Bai couldn't help but hold his forehead, with a constipated and uncomfortable look on his face: "That shouldn't be the case. Why has he grown so much? He needs to have more hands with him no matter what."

The next lot came up in turn, but this time Fatty Bai didn't bid again.

As for Fang Yue, he naturally just took a look and gained a lot of knowledge while listening to the explanation of the woman in red.

Not long after, the auction was over.

Then the people from the auction house came to hand over the goods, and the fat man could only pay and take the stick with a constipated look on his face.

Of course, he can also regret it.

All you need to do is save your face and pay a fine of [-]% of the lot.

However, whoever Fatty Bai is, he definitely cannot afford to lose this face.

"Here you go, if I take this back, my mother will break my legs." Fatty Bai threw the wooden stick in his hand to Fang Yue in disgust.

Then he whispered: "If anyone asks, you bought this, not me, you know."

Although he didn't understand what the fat white man meant, Fang Yue still nodded: "However, this wooden stick is too valuable, I can't accept it."

"Accept it, you must accept it. If you don't accept it, you don't treat me as a brother!" Fatty Bai became anxious immediately.

Seeing this, Fang Yue had no choice but to accept it first and wait until he had the opportunity to return it to Fatty Bai.

Immediately, the building ship started and should have started to return.

After a while, they returned to the city.

Just after leaving the private room, several richly dressed young men walked towards me.

"Hey, isn't this Young Master Bai? I heard that your legs and feet have been inconvenient recently." The leading young man said with a smile.

Having said this, he seemed to remember something, and then looked at Young Master Bai jokingly: "Oh, I almost forgot. Young Master Bai just bought a crutch. Hey, that's the crutch you bought. Why don't you use it? Also. What can I do with a servant like you? Why don't you let your young master use the crutches?"

Obviously, the second half of the sentence was said by the other party Yue.

The tone was full of ridicule and full of gunpowder. It was obvious that this person should be the person that Fatty Bai mentioned before that he had trouble dealing with.

"Xue Bing. This is my brother. My brother thought this crutch was good, so he bought it." Fatty Bai's explanation was a little weak, but it was still an explanation.

"Brother, you have just come to Shanyang Mansion. Don't be deceived by this fat man. He looks honest and honest, but in fact he is full of evil."

Xue Bing laughed, and then left with everyone laughing without waiting for Fatty Bai to refute.

~~~~~~
By the time we got back to the inn, it was already late at night.

Fang Yue picked up the wooden stick like a cane and looked at it carefully.

Since this wooden staff belongs to the great elder of the Moshan tribe, it must be somewhat extraordinary.

It can't really be just a crutch.

This is survivor bias. People always feel that they are special. If others can't see it, they may not be able to see it themselves.

However, Fang Yue checked for a long time.

But I found that this wooden stick was just made of hard material and there was nothing special about it.

"That's how it should be. Otherwise, if there was anything magical about it, it wouldn't be at the auction. It would have been taken away by the people of the imperial court."

Fang Yue couldn't help but shake his head. Sure enough, he didn't miss it.

Immediately, Fang Yue put the wooden staff aside.

After washing, I went to bed, and it was already Chenshi when I woke up.

Fang Yue had just walked out of the inn and was going to find some local specialties for breakfast in Shanyang Mansion.

But as soon as he went out, a few people who looked like wealthy businessmen came out of the parked carriage next to the inn door.

As soon as these people got off the car, they rushed over to Fang Yue.

"My lord, I offended you because I was careless yesterday. This is just a trivial matter and not respectful. I hope I can atone for my sin."

The first person came to Fang Yue and bowed deeply. At the same time, the person next to him handed over a brocade box.

The brocade box looks very heavy and heavy.

"Are you guys looking for the wrong person?"

Fang Yue felt that he had never met these people before, and he was really confused about these people who were apologizing and giving gifts so early in the morning.

Is there some new way to deceive people in this ancient big city?
"No, no. The steward of the caravan was ignorant and bumped into you yesterday. After we found out, we immediately fired him and came to apologize to you." The leader smiled and told what happened at the city gate yesterday. Told it once.

It turned out that these people were the family behind the caravan that wanted to forcefully change places with Fang Yue.

They spent a whole day looking for someone yesterday and found out that they had offended the Bai family.

Those goods are still being held by the city guards. The profit from one trip is quite a lot. It will be painful for anyone to lose so much goods out of thin air.

After hearing about this, he immediately came to apologize.

Of course, in fact, this was because they couldn't get in touch with Bai Xingqiu, so they wanted to make a breakthrough from Fang Yue.

If you can get through this person's relationship and make peace with the Bai family, maybe you can redeem the goods.
