Chapter 487 Really rich to burn
Under the cover is a mirror, which is now buckled on the tray, so everyone cranes their necks to look at it.
Yan Niang took out the mirror, and the first thing she showed was the various gemstones embedded in the back. The craftsmanship was not very exquisite, but the size and color of the gemstones could not stand up to the size.
Yan Niang walked around slowly with the mirror, then turned it over and walked around again. When she came to Shui Ling, Shui Ling saw a pale face in the mirror.
The mirror was made of copper and was polished to a shine. The face inside was beautiful, but the makeup looked a bit like an opera singer. She stared coldly at the person outside the mirror and licked her bright red lips.
Shuiling raised her eyebrows and glanced at Gong Qianyu, "Did you see it?"
"Well, it's a blurry shadow. I can't see it clearly. Don't worry about it. Let's see who is unlucky." Gong Qianyu said.
Shui Ling smiled slightly, yes, who would buy this mirror? Generally, unearthed mirrors have the magnetic field of the tomb owner, so few people resell them.
After showing it off, Yan Niang said: "It is said that if you put a mirror in the yard on a full moon night to reflect the moonlight to the ground, a fairy will sing. This fact has not been tested by the auction house, so we don't know whether it is true or not."
Someone shouted anxiously: "How much is the lower price?"
Yanniang covered her mouth and smiled, "Oh, Master, you are impatient. The base price of this mirror is not expensive, two hundred taels of silver. You can raise the price by ten taels at a time by holding up the sign. You can also increase the price yourself."
As soon as she finished speaking, someone shouted: "Three hundred taels."
"Five hundred taels!"
"Eight hundred..."
Shuiling made some calculations and found that the total price of the gems was around two thousand taels. The low base price must have motivated people here to increase the price little by little, and the transaction price would definitely be much higher than the estimated price.
Gong Qianyu said: "This mirror is quite famous in the market, so the estimated price is five thousand taels."
"What's the name? Is it just beautiful women dancing?" Shui Ling felt that those who bought this mirror were all perverts.
Gong Qianyu said: "Not only that, they say that if he can see a beauty, he is destined. If he can, the beauty will tell him a secret."
"What secret?" Shui Ling was a little moved.
Gong Qianyu smiled and said: "The place where the beauty's bones are buried is said to be a very rich tomb."
"Oh." Shui Ling lost interest all of a sudden. She felt that digging graves was sinful and immoral.
When Gong Qianyu heard her tone, he knew that she was no longer interested. No treasure could be as attractive as that magnetic field.
While we were chatting, the price of the mirror actually exceeded the estimated price mentioned by Gong Qianyu.
One person yelled at the top of his lungs: "Ten thousand taels!"
Shui Ling was startled, "No, a broken mirror costs ten thousand taels? Are you crazy?"
Gong Qianyu shook his head, "This is the charm of auction."
"Okay." Shui Ling shook his head, but then he thought about it. He liked that bracelet, and didn't he really want to take a picture of it? I can feel the psychology of those people. As long as you like it and have enough money, why not take a picture?
No one bid after the price of 10,000 taels was shouted out, and there was only a buzz of whispers.
Yan Niang saw that it was almost done, so she knocked the hammer.
Soon, the person taking the photo got up and left, as if he just wanted to run away.
Yanniang said: "Next is a bracelet worn by a princess of the sea tribe. It is said that she can hear mermaids singing when she wears it."
"This auction house has not tested this, so the base price is five hundred taels."
She picked up the bracelet and walked around the field. Shui Ling saw clearly that there was indeed a mermaid's magnetic field in the ice blue bracelet, but it was not singing, but crying.
Gong Qianyu said: "I can see a vague magnetic field inside, but unfortunately I can't see what it is."
Because Gong Qianyu doesn't have that much light of merit, the penetrating power of his eyes is not as powerful as Shui Ling's.
Shui Ling whispered: "There is a mermaid's magnetic field. She is crying, not singing."
"Do you want it?" Gong Qianyu asked.
Shui Ling nodded, "Yes."
Gong Qianyu raised the price by ten taels after holding up the sign.
Soon, people were raising prices one after another. When the voices of those raising prices subsided, Gong Qianyu held up the sign again.
When the price reached three thousand taels, a charming voice said: "Five thousand taels."
Shuiling's ears twitched. She looked so familiar. Isn't this Ouyang Yi who came to form a group during the day?
Gong Qianyu asked: "Do you want more?"
Shui Ling hesitated, "How much money does the Prime Minister's Mansion have?"
Gong Qianyu did the math and said, "The family still has about forty to fifty thousand taels."
"Then I don't want it anymore." Shui Ling gave up decisively.
"Why?" Gong Qianyu asked.
Shui Ling chuckled and said, "The Prime Minister's Mansion must be here to take gifts. She has at most ten thousand taels with her. After buying this bracelet, she can't buy anything else with the remaining money."
"Yeah... yes." Gong Qianyu didn't raise his sign.
The bracelet belongs to Ouyang Yi.
The third piece is a piece of raw jade, with a piece of its outer skin worn off, revealing the white mutton-fat jade.
Shui Ling concentrated her mental energy and stared at the original stone. She saw that the jade skin was very thin, with no more than one mark, but the whole thing was as big as two heads. If it was full of jade, it would be worth a lot of money.
Gong Qianyu asked: "How about this?"
Shui Ling shook her head, "No, it's too thin."
Gong Qianyu understood instantly and said with a smile: "Yes, it's too thin." He actually knew.
This jade has been sold from the base price of 2,000 taels to 30,000 taels, and people are still adding more money.
Yanniang smiled and said: "They say gold is valuable and jade is priceless. This rough stone can make people who bid more than 50,000 taels come and see it in person."
As soon as I said that, someone offered me 50,000 yuan and then went up to take a look.
Shui Ling yawned. Such a piece of crap cost fifty thousand taels, and there were so many people competing. It was really money to burn.
Soon, there were only three bidders left, and the price reached one hundred thousand taels.
Shui Ling asked: "Why does anyone still want it? Didn't you go up and take a look?"
Gong Qianyu nodded, "They are happy."
"That's true, but it's also true." Shui Ling continued to watch the excitement.
In the end, the jade was bought by a fat man for 120,000 taels. Judging from his plump figure, he must have a good family background.
The next item is a half-person tall red coral. This red coral is not very pure in color and has some black spots, but in the eyes of these people it is already a priceless treasure.
The atmosphere on the court immediately became lively, and biddings were heard all the time.
Shui Ling was a little bored, "It's so boring. There's nothing I like anymore."
Gong Qianyu smiled and said: "There are a few more."
Shui Ling had seen the brochure of the auction items. The other items were ink blocks that were hundreds of years old, vases that were thousands of years old...
She felt that they were not as valuable as the private collections in her own space. She shook her head and said, "I want to leave."
Gong Qianyu said helplessly: "Okay."
When the two got up, they saw Ouyang Yi also getting up to leave.
Shui Ling asked: "Should we go back the same way or should we follow her?"
"Follow her and we'll walk from the city."
