Dragon City.
Phoenix Villa.
When Xia Ye brought Lu Yun, the twenty-four solar terms Bai Lulu master of the Imperial Appraisal Pavilion, from Huadu to Longyin Pavilion, he arranged for him to live here.
He rented a single-family villa here specifically to support Master Lu.
Because he is the golden sign of Longyin Pavilion. As long as his reputation is known, Longyin Pavilion will always stand firm in Longcheng City.
The Ferrari 456 was parked at the entrance of Phoenix Villa on a summer night.
He got out of the car and was about to go in when he heard an opera playing on the radio.
Since Lu Yun moved here, he still lives the same leisurely life as in Huadu every day, free and happy.
Only before the last Spring Festival, because Longyin Pavilion held a grand auction, he attended an event at Longyin Pavilion.
The rest of the days were almost entirely at his disposal, with almost no restrictions and no impact on his normal life at all.
He was very satisfied with Xia Ye's arrangement.
At this time, he was in the yard, lying comfortably on the bamboo rocking chair, listening to the opera played on the radio, and humming a few lines from time to time.
There are several bird cages hanging on the beams at the door, and the cages contain several birds with full wings.
They were chirping non-stop, as if they were reminding Lu Yun that someone had entered the compound.
Lu Yun heard the footsteps and opened his eyes a crack. Then he saw the arrival of Xia Ye, and the fan in his hand suddenly stopped.
"Master Lu, you're welcome and safe!"
"Hey, you guys have reminded me of this old man. You didn't show up at the Longyin Pavilion auction last time. If you come to see me today, you won't have another boring auction, right? Your Longyin Pavilion auction You have made a lot of money through my reputation, but you have never fulfilled the promises you made to me. What's wrong? Are you really planning to use me as a mascot? "
Seeing Lu Yun's strange mood and complaining, Xia Ye smiled helplessly and said: "Master Lu, I have neglected you for so long. I came here to apologize to you, and I also brought the Empress Dowager's Night Pearl."
Hearing the Cixi Night Pearl, a hint of joy suddenly appeared on Lu Yun's eyebrows.
He had nothing else to seek in this life, but he had a special liking for Cixi's luminous pearl.
What is helpless is that this luminous pearl can only be encountered but cannot be sought.
If it weren't for such a bright pearl of Cixi Night in Xia Ye, Lu Yun would not be willing to succumb to the hypocrisy and betrayal of Dragon City.
Seeing Xia Ye take out the treasure box, Lu Yun quickly took it carefully and opened it gently. He saw the bright night pearl appearing in front of his eyes, which made him feel extremely happy.
After the joy passed, he realized that Xia Ye suddenly took out the night pearl, probably because he wanted to ask for something.
"You don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. Just show me your tricks when you come up and tell me what the problem is. I can't help with everything."
Xia Ye grinned and said, "Master Lu, you will definitely be able to help with this matter. Recently, the Qiankun Group in Gusu City is holding a grand auction, and they plan to auction off the items from the Sun Never Sets Museum. The cultural relics and antiques that have been lost overseas by the empire will be put on display and auctioned. At the same time, I hope to find more like-minded friends who can contribute to the antiques and cultural relics that the empire has lost overseas."
After listening to Xia Ye's words, Lu Yun's expression suddenly became serious.
"Boy, do you know why I was willing to follow you out of the mountain in the first place? Not only for this Cixi Night Pearl, but also because of the awe-inspiring righteousness in you. The antique cultural relics lost in the Sun Never Sets Museum are of great significance to our empire. There is no doubt how significant it is! If you are so patriotic, I will risk my life and attend this auction with you."
Xia Ye said excitedly: "Master Lu, I knew you would definitely support this auction. You love antiques so much. If you have such an opportunity in front of you, you will naturally not miss it."
Lu Yun smiled and said: "Boy, as long as you are willing to keep your promise, I am still willing to attend major auctions with you."
After getting excited, Xia Ye quickly calmed down and said awkwardly: "Master Lu, actually I have another unwelcome request, but I don't know if you are willing to tell me. I feel a little unsure."
Lu Yun frowned slightly and said with some dissatisfaction: "You are a grown man, so what do you do with mother-in-law and mother-in-law? Just say what you have to say, don't be coy."
"Master Lu, I would like to implore you to invite all the master treasure appraisers from the Imperial Treasure Appraisal Pavilion's twenty-four solar terms to come to the auction. In this way, this auction can be conducted to a large extent. Major publicity will attract rich people from the entire empire to gather in Suzhou, and then the publicity for the protection of antiques and cultural relics lost abroad will be even more meaningful."
Lu Yun frowned and said: "I haven't contacted those old guys for a long time. You still want to find all the twenty-four treasure appraisers. How is this possible?"
"Master Lu, please help me find a solution. If you can solve this problem, I will be very grateful!"
Lu Yun quickly waved his hand and said: "I'm not short of money. No matter how much money you give me, some things can't be done. I'm willing to attend this auction. That's also giving you face. Don't push yourself here. , give me higher-standard requirements.”
Seeing how stubborn Master Lu was, Xia Ye had no choice but to use his trump card.
"Master Lu, if you can invite me to the Imperial Treasure Appraisal Pavilion for the Twenty-Four Solar Terms, I will lend you this Cixi Night Pearl for one year."
Enjoy it for a year?
This is indeed a great temptation for Lu Yun.
I saw a glimmer of light flashing in Lu Yun's eyes, and he couldn't put it down for the Cixi Night Pearl in his hand.
But compared to the difficulty of inviting the twenty-four solar terms of the Imperial Treasure Appraisal Pavilion, Lu Yun fell into hesitation again.
How can it be so easy to invite the twenty-four solar terms of the Imperial Treasure Appraisal Pavilion?
Those old guys are all very shrewd. If you don't have any chips, it will be harder than climbing to the sky to ask them to come out.
But these old guys are quite willing to give Lu Yun face. After all, Lu Yun has many weaknesses in these old guys, so it is easier to handle.
"Boy, if you are willing to lend it to me for three years, I can consider helping you meet those old guys." A hint of cunning flashed in Lu Yun's eyes.
Xia Ye smiled and said, "How about this? I'll let you play with it for five years. One month later, at the Qiankun Group's auction, I hope that everyone can have a glimpse of the twenty-four solar terms of the Imperial Treasure Appraisal Pavilion."
Hearing Xia Ye offer such a bargaining chip, Lu Yun replied excitedly: "Deal!"
