Chapter three hundred and eighty-eight, flower boat, weird party
The cabin is quite large and arranged like a living room.
There are seats on both sides, and each large chair is separated by a screen. The hangings on the top of the cabin fall in an arc, and the middlemost hanging position happens to be where the face of the person sitting on the chair is.
Under the dim light, the person who had just entered the cabin couldn't see clearly who was in the hall. There were two seats, one seat was occupied, and the other seat was empty. Yu Xijiao wanted to look again,
A boy came over and led them to the place on the left, closest to the door.
Feng Yu sat down on the large chair in the middle. The waiter brought a brocade stool and placed it next to the chair. Yu Xijiao sat down.
Pastries and tea were already placed on the table in front of the chairs. After the waiter poured them two cups, he quietly retreated behind the curtain at the back. There was no movement the whole time, and the person who had just greeted them outside did not come in either.
Yu Xijiao's shoulders were held by Feng Yu, and she leaned towards him involuntarily. Feng Yu didn't say anything, and she didn't make a sound either. Everything here seemed a bit weird.
No one spoke, and no one sat down.
The hatch opened again, and this time two more people came in, two men, one behind and one behind, obviously of different identities, both wearing large cloaks, and their faces could not be seen.
The two men coincidentally sat across from each other.
One took the main seat, and the other sat on the brocade stool brought by the boy.
Then a few more people came in sporadically, basically one or two people, either male or female, but they all wore cloaks and hoods covering their faces. The boat stopped one by one, and came up every time it stopped.
One or two people, and then continued forward, there was still melodious music outside, and there was also the faint sound of women laughing.
This is a flower boat, and a pretty big one at that.
Flower boats are often a place where young men from aristocratic families spend a lot of money. This kind of place is full of young men from aristocratic families who are looking for flowers and flowers. There are also some literati and elegant people, but Yu Xijiao can't guess who these people are now.
The brim of the cloak fell down, and when it came out, her hair was casually tied with a ribbon. Feng Yu's hand was constantly stroking her hair gently.
Such an action should have made people feel ambiguous, but Yu Xijiao didn't notice it. She looked at the three people who had just come in, her long eyelashes fluttered twice, there was a trace of hesitation, and her shoulders involuntarily tightened.
This was the first time I saw three people coming in. One in front and two behind, the three people went to the middle. The person in front took the first seat in the middle, with two brocade stools, and the two people in the back sat down.
After sitting down, the man coughed heavily, and the low and noisy voices on both sides stopped.
The boy came out from behind and respectfully presented a list in front of Feng Yu. Yu Xijiao sat up straight, reached out and took it, and handed it to Feng Yu.
The boy withdrew again.
A man who looked like a steward appeared in the cabin, smiled and bowed to the people around him: "Everyone, all the things this time are here. If you like something, you can bid. The one with the highest price will get it."
Yu Xijiao raised her eyes and was slightly startled. She felt that there seemed to be some vague impression. She held Feng Yu's hand with her shoulder and gave a slight squeeze. She leaned over again and looked at the hand in Feng Yu's hand under the weak light.
list.
The first item, the seven-star glass cup
The second piece, Hanyu Tianxiang Pot
The third piece, half power pen
…
It is said that the seven-star glass cup was the favorite treasure of a queen from the previous dynasty. For this seven-star glass cup, she fought with two of the emperor's favorite concubines at the time. In the end, it even caused a dispute between the two families, and the concubine lost.
At the end, the beloved concubine’s family was wiped out.
This seven-star glass cup is also called the seven-star annihilation cup.
It is said that the queen later sent the seven-star glass cup to her parents' home, but in the end she was lost in the troubled times.
The Cold Jade Tianxiang Pot and Ban Quan Brush are also treasures. Yu Xijiao has only heard of them, but she didn't expect to hear them here.
Many people don't want people to know that they have collected this kind of treasure, so as not to cause new troubles, so I have such an arrangement.
So, this is the treasure secret meeting that Yu Lanxuan heard her uncle mention once?
Under the long eyelashes, a look of surprise flashed through his eyes.
In the last life, Yu Lanxuan saw a scroll painting in Anqing and she liked it very much. But her uncle also liked it and was not willing to give it to Yu Lanxuan. After that, she was beaten to the point of being helpless, so she said angrily, "I will definitely come next time."
Find a better one for Yu Xijiao at the treasure secret meeting.
Then Yu Lanxuan actually received another painting from An Qing and the colleague who sent it to her.
Yu Lanxuan curiously asked about the secret meeting of treasures. An Qinghe glared at her and told her that this kind of place was not for a girl like her to go, so don't even think about it.
Yu Lanxuan immediately gave up the idea, but this incident also left an impression on Yu Lanxuan's mind, knowing that there was a place where she could find good things.
The boy came out from behind again and presented him with pen and ink. Feng Yu said, "If you like it, I'll mark it for you."
Yu Xijiao sat upright a little. She really took a fancy to something. She had had it before, but she didn't expect to see something similar here. She was silent for a moment without being polite, and reached out to take the pen from the boy's hand.
She drew a circle on a place she liked, and then put the pen down.
"Don't like others?" Feng Yu asked lazily.
Yu Xijiao nodded.
Feng Yu didn't ask any more questions, picked up the pen, circled a few more places, then wrote down the price, and finally gave the order to the boy.
The boy took it respectfully and stepped back.
Yu Xijiao looked at the opposite side again. The two people on the opposite side were closest to her. Her eyes couldn't help but look towards the opposite side. She always felt that there was a figure that looked familiar.
One by one, the lists were sent to the steward's office. When they were all collected, the steward picked up a list and compiled it on the spot. Two more men who looked like stewards came out to help him compile it together.
Pick up a list and quote the items in the circle above, as well as the bid price written behind the items.
After submitting one report after another, and finally all of them were completed, the two stewards at the back withdrew, leaving the front steward alone.
"Dear guests, the price has just been quoted. In fact, everyone already knows it. I will quote it again here."
After that, tell the number of bidders for each item and the highest bid. The so-called highest bidder is the one who gets the item.
The items were reported one by one, and after all the items were reported, the waiters sent items to the winners of the highest prices. Feng Yu sent a lot of items, and placed them one by one on the table in front of him.
What Yu Xijiao was interested in was a red coral ornament. It was not big, but it was very exquisite.
There are many rockery-like coral ornaments. Yu Xijiao has only seen one of the garden-like coral ornaments in front of her.
When she first saw the ornament in front of her, Yu Xi's eyes shrank suddenly. She didn't expect that this ornament was actually the one she had before.
Among the red coral ornaments, you can see faint rockeries, running water, and even a few beautiful blooming flowers. The enchanting flowers and leaves are blooming slowly through the branches of the coral.
, like a beautiful scene made of red coral.
This coral ornament is a beautiful red color, and the flower-like branches are even more beautiful and gorgeous. The branches outlined are like gems, but they have the purity of natural carving.
He took a deep breath, feeling a dull pain in his heart.
The red coral used to be her favorite, a treasure found by her father. Later, when her grandmother had her birthday, she gave her a coral ornament.
Feng Yu put on the hood for her and led her to stand up. Yu Xijiao's eyes left the ornaments. The boy put away these objects and put them one by one into a special box. He carefully held the box and followed it.
behind them.
After gathering her thoughts, Yu Xijiao looked around. This treasure gathering should be over. Some people stood up, and the servant packed up his things and followed them.
Everyone was in a tizzy and deliberately staggered their time with others. If someone went out, they would wait a moment.
Feng Yu and Yu Xijiao were at the door. The two of them could walk out of the cabin without having to look or wait like others.
The attendees more or less benefited from the meeting, but everyone was covered up tightly and it was not clear who it was, so there was no intention of exchanging pleasantries.
Feng Yu took Yu Xijiao to the door. The boy guarding the door was about to open the hatch when he suddenly heard a voice: "Master, please stay."
Feng Yu stopped and Yu Xijiao tilted her head slightly and looked to the side. It turned out that it was one of the two men opposite, who was giving them a deep bow.
"What's the matter?" Feng Yu asked calmly.
Yu Xijiao's eyes fell on the man who bowed to them in salute, and a trace of deep suspicion flashed across his eyes. She was far away and couldn't see clearly, but now she met him face to face and spoke to him.
Not far behind this man stood another man, both wearing the same cloak and about the same height.
"Master, can you please lend me a moment to speak?" the man asked.
"Let's talk outside." Feng Yu said calmly, leading Yu Xijiao out, followed by the two men.
When I came out of the cabin, I immediately felt much more relaxed. The dim lights and the dotted figures made the boat a little more dull just now, but it was just right now.
The music stopped, and it was quiet as if they were the only ones here.
The boat has stopped and is leaning against the shore. It is a slightly quiet place, like a bend in the river. At this time, there are many people standing on the shore. There are clearly defined groups in the east and west. They should be of different groups.
A servant of the house, a servant, or a bodyguard.
There were no lights, and everyone stood in the shadows.
Feng Yu took Yu Xijiao to the side of the boat, and two men followed him.
"Master, can you sell a few things? Don't worry, I won't let you suffer." The man stood still and said to Feng Yu.
"What do you want?" Feng Yu asked calmly.
The man took out a list from his arms and handed it to Feng Yu. He had prepared it early, "Master, please take a look."
Yu Xijiao reached out to take it and handed it to Feng Yu.
Suddenly, he saw clearly that one of the items was his own red coral ornament. His eyes were filled with darkness. He actually wanted his own red coral ornament?
This person... really doesn't know what he means...
