Fu Yunge heard Dongfang Shiming say this and knew that he had seen through his thoughts, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

But since Dongfang Shiming said so, Fu Yunge agreed, and the two of them walked side by side to the big shopping mall.

Passing through the downtown area of ​​the street, there is a short section of bluestone road with weeping willows in the middle, leading directly to the large black iron-roofed shopping mall over there.

The breeze blows through the willow branches, and the fragrance of spring grass fills the air. When you look up, you can occasionally see the traces of swallows, which is bright and pleasant.

When the two of them walked to the entrance of the big shopping mall, they saw a majestic scenery. No one who saw it for the first time would not be amazed by what they saw in front of them.

There is a row of low porches outside the business building. Through the wooden pillars and railings, you can see the classical interior, which is completely unlike the bustling city outside. There is a wide and straight sand and mud road in front, with a green brick paved in the middle, leading directly to the main entrance of the business building not far away.

The commercial building looks tall and majestic from the outside, with huge windows embedded in the towering exterior walls, allowing the inside and outside to be seen through. The dome is hemispherical like a pagoda, made of thick black iron, shining in the sun like a bright black gem.

The main entrance is very large and completely open to the outside world.

There are also merchants coming in and out at this moment, but their identities are extraordinary. Since there were no guards at the door, Fu Yunge and the two walked into the store casually.

After entering, the two discovered that there was a cave inside.

The space is huge, with many different buildings scattered throughout, and the building located in the innermost part should be the auction hall of the big shopping mall.

The drunken afternoon sunlight slants in from the huge windows inlaid on the exterior wall, and is projected on the ground, looking like golden feathers that have been torn into pieces.

"It's really true here." Fu Yunge praised softly.

"You can imagine the grand occasion of the auction, with an air of luxury everywhere." Dongfang Shiming looked around and said.

In this afternoon, there are not many merchants here, so such a vast place looks a bit desolate. And even if there are people who pass by occasionally, they are not familiar with each other and just go on their own way.

"There's a person coming."

Dongfang Shiming looked in front of him, looked at it for a moment, and then said to Fu Yunge: "And it seems to be coming for you."

Fu Yunge came back to his senses and raised his head to look at the visitor.

The visitor was already very close to them. He greeted them with a smile and shouted: "It's Mr. Yu, and Mr. Dongfang. Why do you have time to come here?"

Fu Yunge and Dongfang Shiming looked at each other, but neither of them had any impression of this man. But since he knew their names, he must have met them before.

The visitor was a young man of similar age, dressed in a style similar to that of a large shopping mall, luxurious but extremely low-key. With smiles that didn't look offensive, Fu Yunge and Dongfang Shiming waved to him hesitantly.

"Boy, it's been a long time no see." The young man still had a smile on his face.

"...I'm really sorry. Where have we been? Have you seen us?" Fu Yunge asked hesitantly.

The young man was stunned at first, as if he was a little surprised by his words.

But then he laughed again and explained: "Yes, I have never officially met you two before. However, I met Mr. Yu when I went to the Yujia Tea House with my father to do business, and I also paid tribute to him when I traveled to Shigu Ferry. The reputation of Young Master Dongfang. But it’s not strange that the two of you don’t remember me.”

"Um...I'm sorry." Fu Yunge lowered his head and said.

The young man didn't seem to mind, and asked in a haha, "It doesn't matter. Mr. Yu is here for business, right?"

"Uh... that's not the case." Fu Yunge waved his hands after hearing this, "He and I were just here to hang out."

The young man said "Oh" and nodded thoughtfully.

Then he thought and realized that his name had not been announced, so he patted his chest enthusiastically: "By the way, my name is Ju Wuzhu. Since you two are visiting the store, you might as well let me show you around."

The two of them looked at the huge commercial building, which was indeed dazzling. Since Ju Wuzhu is willing to be their tour guide, it is natural that he would like it.

Fu Yunge reached an agreement and both agreed.

Ju Wuzhu laughed and took the two of them on a detailed tour of the large shopping mall.

In fact, there is nothing interesting inside the big shopping mall. There is an atmosphere of money and integrity everywhere. From time to time, I see wealthy businessmen passing by, and occasionally I meet Ju Wuzhu, and he even takes the initiative to say hello.

Oriental poetry explicitly and secretly ponders the origin of Ju Wuzhu. I heard that the owner of the winery in Pima Village is named Ju, but I don't know if this Ju Wuzhu is the son of the owner of Ju.

In addition, the owner of Ju Village is also one of the wealthy businessmen of the big business hall. Judging from Ju Wuzhu's familiarity with this place, it may be possible.

After wandering around for a long time, the time has turned from afternoon to evening, and the big shopping mall is gradually getting dark. Fu Yunge and Dongfang Shiming were a little tired, so they just wanted to go to the auction hall that they were most interested in.

After walking out of the last contract house, the auction hall was already within easy reach. Ju Wuzhu raised his voice and called the two of them to pay attention. They were going to the auction hall.

Fu Yunge and Wu Yunge cheered up and walked quickly after Ju Wuzhu.

The auction hall is located in the innermost part of the shopping mall, with a majestic appearance. Ju Wuzhu came often so he wasn't too shocked, but Fu Yunge was quite shocked, and even Dongfang Shiming was a little moved. I don’t know what it will look like inside.

When I walked to the door, even if there was no auction, there were regular guards on duty at the door.

Ju Wuzhu knew one of them and explained the situation to that person, who was also happy to introduce and lead them.

The four of them entered along a long corridor, with eternal fish-fat lamps burning on both sides of the corridor, which looked bright and elegant.

At the end of the corridor is a magnificent door. While introducing them to the history of the auction hall, the man stepped forward and opened the door.

Suddenly, the interior scene of the auction hall was shown in front of everyone's eyes.

The rows of guest seats woven with bright red brocade look like a sea of ​​rubies, looking gorgeous and dazzling; the round table in the center is surrounded by an eye-catching gold edge, and the ivory white floor emits circles of milky light. faint.

An extremely luxurious spar ceiling lamp hangs from the ceiling, and a tall tray stands in each corner of the surrounding walls, holding four large round luminous pearls. For a moment, Fu Yunge and the two were dazzled by the various treasures, even dazzled. It was hard to imagine that such a dreamy place could exist.

"It is indeed a famous auction hall of a large business hall." Dongfang Shiming sighed.

A proud look appeared on Ju Wuzhu's face, as if it was owned by his family.

The guard laughed a few times and said carelessly: "In a few days, this place will be lively. You can come over by then."

Fu Yunge looked at him curiously: "Is it getting lively? Is there a new auction to be held?"

The guard nodded seriously.

He then approached them again, lowered his voice, pretended to be very mysterious, and said to them: "You should know that every auction event revolves around one of the most famous treasures. And the last one to appear, It’s the star of the auction.”

Because Ju Wuzhu had just mentioned it, Fu Yunge and the two were no strangers.

Seeing that all three of them understood it, the guard then quietly revealed to them: "Then do you know what the grand treasure of the next auction will be?"

Both Dongfang Shiming and Fu Yunge were attracted by the Guanzi he sold, and wanted to hear what kind of treasure it was.

Ju Wuzhu also moved closer, because even he didn't know what it was yet.

Seeing that the three people showed great interest, the guard felt extremely satisfied and continued to whisper: "Then I will tell you, don't let it out casually. This treasure is [Golden Wind Peony]."

"Golden Wind Peony?" The three of them all showed different expressions of surprise.

Dongfang Shiming had known about this treasure before, but only through hearsay.

It is said that the golden wind peony is of no small importance, it is the best treasure that can prolong life and improve vitality. And it grows on the top of a cliff, which is extremely rare. In this way, this auction is indeed interesting.

Ju Wuzhu was stunned for a moment, his face seemed to be relieved.

The guard's knowledge was limited, and he didn't know the mystery of this treasure. He hesitated and said a few words, which were basically similar to what Dongfang Shiming had heard.

While listening to his story, Fu Yunge stroked the soft red brocade seat and suddenly thought of something in his mind.

The guard took a few people to briefly visit the surroundings of the auction hall. It can be said that everything is luxurious and impressive. Fu Yunge had something on his mind, so he spoke significantly less.

The guard was a discerning person and noticed that Fu Yunge was not very interested. He thought it was his own problem and could not get him interested.

He also thought that this young master was also the heir of the owner of the big tea house and a friend of Mr. Ju Wuzhu. He couldn't help but secretly sweat for himself, and he didn't dare to continue "showing off his embarrassment".

The guards quickly led several people out of the auction hall using the excuse of changing shifts. Fortunately, all three of them said they enjoyed their visit, which made him feel a little relieved when he left.

It was getting dark outside, and Ju Wuzhu thought of something going on at home, so he said goodbye to Dongfang Shiming and the others and left.

Dongfang Shiming and Fu Yunge walked back slowly and walked out of the big shopping mall. The evening breeze outside was gentle, and the moonlight was faint, lightly outlining a curved trace in the night sky.

Fu Yunge had been reticent since just now, which Dongfang Shiming could not fail to notice.

After walking for a while, Dongfang Shiming turned to him and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? What's bothering you?"

Fu Yunge looked at his deep gaze, feeling a little hesitant in his heart. But after thinking for a moment, he decided to tell him exactly what Poinsettia told him.

The night breeze is blowing. The silvery glow of the moonlight shines through the thin dark clouds onto the bluestone ground, looking as bright as the twilight river, sparkling and moving.

Dongfang Shiming listened a little silently.

Fu Yunge continued to explain: "Senior Poinsettia's intention is to worry about Yue Shenchen and the two people whose origins are unknown. After all, what Senior Zuichenxiang did in the tavern a few days ago may also attract the attention of the villains."

Dongfang Shiming nodded to express his understanding. He touched his chin and said quietly: "So, you are saying that the reason why they are planning a riot may be related to the upcoming auction?"

"I'm not sure either." Fu Yunge shook his head, "It seems like it's just a coincidence of time."

"But, according to what Senior Poinsettia said, their motives have not yet been determined. After all, the plan is so grand, I think..."

"...There must be a huge plan." Dongfang Shiming kicked out a stone on the roadside and came to the conclusion following Fu Yunge's words.

Fu Yunge looked up at the vast starry sky and exhaled: "...Yes."

"I understand." Dongfang Shiming walked forward. "Go back, it's getting late."

Suddenly, he turned around and looked at Fu Yunge: "By the way, Mr. Ju Wuzhu, do you have any impression?"

Fu Yunge was bending down to fold a withered grass pole. He stood up slowly, held the straw in his mouth, thought about it again, shook his head and said: "...I have no impression."

Dongfang Shiming pondered and narrowed his eyes. The two of them walked back to Zuichen's home in tandem.

The wild grass behind them was blown by the night wind, and each one of them shone with a faint luster, as if reflecting the brilliance of the moon.
