At the same time, the other people in the yard also subconsciously turned their heads to look over.

It wasn't that everyone was curious, it was simply because everyone in the courtyard was a competitor.

However, whether in terms of appearance or temperament, Lu Xiao was far ahead of the people sitting in the yard.

At this moment, everyone present was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and each of them looked like a wealthy person.

These people are either wealthy businessmen or children of wealthy families.

Ages also vary greatly.

After looking Lu Xiao up and down, everyone was slightly surprised by his aura, but they didn't take it too seriously.

The competition for booking a theater is never about who is more handsome, who has more temperament, or who has more talent.

The only difference in who has more money is who has more money.

Lu Xiao was only wearing an ordinary scholar's robe. If today were a casual game, he would definitely be very competitive.

But it’s not possible to rent out the entire venue.

So everyone just glanced at him, then turned their gaze away and went back to chatting, drinking, and admiring the flowers, with no intention of coming up to make friends.

Lu Xiao was also happy to be alone, so after taking his seat, he quietly waited for Fuxiang to appear.

A while later, when the courtyard was full of ten people, the courtesan Fuxiang finally appeared.

Her face is full of spring, her eyes are full of brilliance, her figure is charming and her spirit is natural.

Honestly, this woman is really nice. Lu Xiao was truly astonished by her appearance.

Judging from her facial features alone, her beauty is no less than that of Pingyang or Lin'an.

She is definitely the kind of stunning beauty who can make men turn their heads frequently when she walks on the street.

But in terms of temperament, Fuxiang possesses the beauty of a lady from a noble family, while also possessing a touch of alluring charm.

This charm seemed to be completely natural, without any affectation.

Only the kind that makes people feel itchy...0

At this moment, she was wearing a gauze dress that women in this era dared not wear.

Her shoulders were half exposed, her neck was slender, and she was covered with a thin layer of pink tulle, her cleavage was barely visible.

As the saying goes, tolerance is greatness.

As one of the twelve most famous courtesans in the Jiaofangsi, she does have some skills.

With a graceful figure, she emerged into the courtyard, looked around, and saluted everyone.

"Fuxiang greets you all."

Her eyes lit up noticeably when she passed by Lu Xiao, but then dimmed.

Based on her experience, someone dressed like Lu Xiao would definitely not be able to compete with those wealthy people.

At this moment, she felt very sorry that tonight was not a solo game.

Aside from Lu Xiao, many of the people who came today were obviously regular customers.

So after a few words, they got straight to the point.

Bid!

Rich people are so simple and unpretentious, never playing with those empty things.

Even if you want to play with the so-called romance, you have to wait until the bidding is over.

Therefore, Lu Xiao had gained a lot of knowledge today.

"Five hundred taels!"

"Six hundred taels!"

"Seven hundred taels!"

The price climbed very quickly, and soon it reached a thousand taels.

What is the concept of one thousand taels?

Based on Dafeng prices, if it were in Lu Xiao's previous life, it would be worth at least one or two million.

What is called a lavish spending? This is called a lavish spending.

And one thousand taels of silver is just the beginning.

After the auction price exceeded 3.4, the public's desire to buy the item not only did not decrease, but instead became even more enthusiastic.

"One thousand five hundred taels!"

"Two thousand taels!"

"Two thousand five hundred taels!"

A moment later, the price had reached five thousand taels of silver.

The person who called out the price was a middle-aged wealthy businessman.

When he offered five thousand taels of silver, the others immediately lost interest.

Under normal circumstances, the most that Fuxiang would charge for a private show is just over three thousand taels.

Everyone got a little carried away when bidding today, so the bid went up to five thousand.

This is far beyond their limit.

It's not that they can't afford it, but that they don't have to.

Fuxiang is not the only courtesan in the Jiaofangsi.

Even if it doesn't work, you can just come back next time.

But just when the others were about to give up, Lu Xiao, who had been silent in the bidding, finally spoke up.

"Ten thousand taels!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the room instantly fell into dead silence.

Chapter 275 The floating fragrance

When the price of ten thousand taels appeared, everyone in the room was stunned.

This price is not the first time that the Jiaofangsi has offered such a high price.

But basically it is only called out when the oiran has just left the house.

The so-called marriage is the first time to receive a customer.

The first time is of course the most expensive.

For a married woman, this is a sky-high price.

Even the Oiran is like this.

The middle-aged wealthy businessman sitting not far from Lu Xiao had a frozen smile on his face.

His face looked very unhappy.

Maybe he felt like he was slapped in the face.

When he was bidding earlier, he vowed that he would definitely take the spot today.

Therefore, he insisted on asking for five thousand taels.

I thought today was already pretty good.

But Lu Xiao, a scholar who showed up unexpectedly, broke his defenses in one fell swoop.

Keep shouting?

His money didn't just come from the wind. In fact, when he shouted out the five thousand, he already felt a little regretful for making such a bold statement in advance.

If he didn't let go, there would be no one left to compete with him by the time he reached over 3,000.

But if you don't shout, you'll lose face. 30 For rich people, face is sometimes more important than money.

After hesitating for a long time, he said to Lu Xiao in a bad mood.

"Where are you from? Can you afford ten thousand taels of silver? Don't make a random offer here. You'll get sued in the Jiaofang Bureau if you make a random offer."

This is not a lie.

After all, the Jiaofangsi was a "state-owned enterprise." If the price was really being rigged, the Jiaofangsi could indeed hand the person over to the government and make him pay for the damages.

Of course, anyone with a normal mind would not do such a thing as randomly bidding.

As for Lu Xiao, does he have ten thousand taels of silver?

seriously.

He really couldn't get it out.

So after hearing what the middle-aged man said, he put his hand into his sleeve, pretended to feel around for a bit, and then took it out.

Then everyone in the room was in an uproar.

"Wow!"

In his hand at this moment, there lay a night-shining pearl the size of a goose egg.

The pearl was extremely bright, brighter than the lights in the house.

"This bead should be worth ten thousand taels."

Not a question.

Everyone present had seen the market.

Such a huge "night-shining pearl" can be sold even if the price is several times higher, not to mention ten thousand taels.

So the middle-aged man immediately stopped talking and said nothing more.

He was just a businessman, and he couldn't afford to offend someone who could produce such a "treasure".

Lu Xiao waved to the maid closest to him.

The maid immediately stepped forward respectfully.

After throwing the "Night Pearl" to her, Lu Xiao looked around.

The guests were very knowledgeable.

Without waiting for Fuxiang to speak, he stood up and said goodbye, then left to find other fun.

At this moment, Fuxiang also came to Lu Xiao with a smile on her face.

"You're so generous that you're willing to take out such a precious treasure. I don't see you, so this must be your first visit to my house, right?"

The eyes are very alluring.

Lu Xiao laughed and said, "It's just a worthless pearl, not a big deal. But this is indeed my first time at the Jiaofangsi."

This is not a lie.

It is just an ordinary pearl, not a priceless "night pearl".

The reason why it was so bright was because Lu Xiao had just casually "drawn" it.

Lu Xiao can have as many of these things as he wants.

However, this isn't a scam.

Although it is a painting, as long as others do not intentionally destroy it, the "painting" will naturally not disappear.

So it is not wrong to treat it as a treasure.

After hearing Lu Xiao's words, Fuxiang smiled even more charmingly.

"That's truly a blessing for me. Sir, please go upstairs and wait for a moment. I'll wash up and come back to serve you."

Then Fuxiang left behind a faint scent before turning around and slowly walking away.

As for Lu Xiao, he went up to the second floor first, led by his maid.

After reaching the second floor, the maid opened the master bedroom door and motioned Lu Xiao to come in.

"Sir, please come in! My daughter will be here soon."
