Unfortunately, as soon as Zhou Yang sat down, a mountain of meat appeared next to him. The large seat could not accommodate that person, and half of his butt occupied another one.
Zhou Yang turned around and saw that it was the hateful middle-aged fat man. Seeing Zhou Yang looking over, he forced a smile, revealing his jagged yellow teeth.
Zhou Yang only glanced at him, then turned his head expressionlessly.
"Everyone, please be quiet!"
An old man wearing a purple robe and a golden crown had already appeared on the auction stage. He was about sixty years old, with a ruddy complexion, three long beards, and a noble appearance.
"Everyone, the eleventh large-scale palace auction begins now! This auction is the largest in scale and standard since it was held. There are twelve princes, eight princesses, and two imperial uncles attending the auction. , three eldest princesses, six with horses.
The arrival of all the princes, princesses and royal relatives is truly a blessing to us. On behalf of everyone sitting here, I would like to pay tribute to all the princes, princesses and relatives of the emperor! "After that, the old man on the stage bowed deeply to the people in the front row.
The second prince sitting in the middle nodded slightly, indicating that the old man could proceed with the auction.
The old man gave another gift and said: "The auction will begin next. It is still the old rule. The treasures of the royal family and nobles will be auctioned first, and then those of everyone present. If there are still treasures in hand for auction, you can go to the backstage to register. Please be the first to do so. A lot!”
After saying this, the old man stepped aside, and a young girl dressed in red walked up from the background. The girl held a tray in her hands, which was covered with a bright red silk cloth.
"This item comes from the royal family. As the first item to be auctioned, it is naturally extremely precious. Okay, I won't say any more. Please pay attention!" The old man on the stage gave a brief introduction and then reached out to lift off the red silk. .
"Hiss!" The moment he saw the thing, there was a sound of inhalation from the audience.
The girl tilted the tray downward slightly, revealing the item inside, which turned out to be a golden mask!
The material of the mask is not unusual, mainly gold, but its image and carving craftsmanship are breathtaking.
On the left side of the mask are two flowers, and on the right side are a branch and leaves and several words. Judging from its shape and size, it should be a mask worn by a woman.
The people in the front row could naturally see clearly, but the people in the back were a little far away, so everyone stood up one after another, stretched their necks and stared at the stage.
Zhou Yang doesn't have to be like this. His eyesight is far beyond ordinary people, and he can see the masks on the stage very clearly.
Frankly speaking, this mask is finely crafted, simple and elegant, unlike anything today.
However, Zhou Yang scanned it with his spiritual consciousness and found no spiritual power fluctuation at all. It was a mortal object and was of no use to him.
"Everyone, this mask is an ancient relic of genuine value. After the royal family obtained it, it was appraised by a master, and it was finally confirmed that this mask belongs to the ancient Chongmu Dynasty. Its owner is said to be Queen Chongmu, who has been there three years ago. It has been more than a thousand years, and the carving craftsmanship at that time has long been lost.
Yes, this technique is the famous openwork technique. It is a pity that such exquisite skills have not been handed down, and his works are even harder to share with the world. Therefore, regardless of the value of this mask itself, the ancient openwork technique alone is a priceless treasure!
There is only one of this thing in the world, it is unique. Okay, the starting price of this mask is 50,000 taels of silver, and each increase in price will not be less than 5,000 taels. Start bidding now! "
"The art of openwork, what kind of skill is this?" Zhou Yang said to himself.
"Haha, little brother, don't you know the art of openwork?" The fat middle-aged man turned around and said after hearing this.
"you know?"
"This is natural. In fact, the so-called openwork technique is just a gimmick. It exists in the world today, but it is a new openwork technique. As for whether it is comparable to the ancient openwork technique, no one can say clearly." The fat man looked back. Damn, he said with a lewd expression.
"That's it." Zhou Yang suddenly realized.
"Seventy thousand!"
"Seventy-five thousand!"
"Ninety thousand!"
At this time, Queen Chongmu's mask had already fetched a high price of 90,000 yuan, and the bidding was still coming and going.
"One hundred thousand!" Suddenly a voice appeared in the front row, a woman spoke.
"It's Princess Ninth who made the bid." Someone in the audience suddenly started whispering.
After Ninth Princess shouted, the auction house suddenly became quiet.
What a joke, whoever dares to rob something from the emperor’s most favored Ninth Princess is looking for death?
After a brief silence, the old man on the stage was very sensible and no longer encouraged everyone in the audience to bid. He turned to the Ninth Princess and said: "Okay, the Ninth Princess bids 100,000, and there are no more bids from you, so this mask will..."
"One hundred and ten thousand!" Just when the old man was about to say that this mask belonged to the Ninth Princess, a faint voice appeared from the audience.
Everyone was stunned and looked away.
Who is so brave and dares to bid with the Ninth Princess? Is it possible to risk his life?
I saw Zhou Yang holding up his jade sign, and the fat man next to him had a look of astonishment, and then his expression froze, and he felt bitter in his heart.
Isn't this unlucky? Why do you have to be next to such a stupid young man? You are just looking for death. Why do you want to trick me?
The old man also had a dull look on his face. There are really some people who are not afraid of death these days.
But after a brief pause, he took a deep look at Zhou Yang and said, "No. 99 bids 110,000, Ninth, Ninth Princess, you..."
"Twenty thousand!" The female voice in the front row came again, but no emotion could be heard.
"One hundred and thirty thousand!" Zhou Yang raised the jade sign again.
"One hundred and fifty thousand!" Princess Ninth's voice began to turn cold.
"One hundred and sixty thousand!"
"Two hundred thousand!" Ninth Princess said every word.
"Twenty-one thousand!"
There was no sound in the front row, but a person suddenly stood up next to the Ninth Princess. His cold eyes glanced at Zhou Yang, and then his voice spread to everyone: "Three hundred thousand!"
The old man on the stage was sweating a little. This first item was really popular at the auction, which was originally a good thing, but the wrong person was bidding on it!
But if you gods fight, the little brat like me will suffer. Why the hell did this guy come out of nowhere and seriously want to disrupt the situation? If this continues, something will happen.
The old man can order the golden-armored guards to take the troublemaker out, but if he does that, the royal family's prestige will be greatly damaged. After all, this auction is organized by the royal family. The rule of the auction is that the highest bidder wins. That is not good. Use strong ones.
The old man had no choice but to come forward to smooth things over and said bravely: "Friend No. 99, is this your first time participating in an auction?"
"Yes, so what, don't the rules here allow newcomers to bid?"
"Haha, my friend has misunderstood. This is a palace auction hosted by the princes. Naturally, it is the most fair. All the items will naturally go to the highest bidder.
However, I would like to inform you that from the beginning of this auction, not only will the highest bidder win all the items, but there will also be additional conditions. This is also the prince's order. All auction items from the royal family must be accompanied by a stunning beauty.
Of course, this is not what is needed for the auction, but the current harem is empty and needs to be replenished. Therefore, I would like to remind friend No. 99 that only silver is not enough. I hope you will think twice before you act! "
"What, there is such a rule, why don't I know about it?"
"You don't know, I've participated five or six times, and this is the first time I've heard about it."
"The harem is empty! How is that possible? How many beauties have entered the palace this year! There are quite a few who have entered the palace from auctions alone, not to mention those collected from all over the country!"
"Okay, stop asking around. The rules are set by people, so they can't be changed at any time. This is a palace auction, and the royal family has the final say. What if the rules are temporarily changed!"
As soon as the old man finished speaking, there was a burst of discussion in the audience. Of course, it was just a few words whispered, no one dared to say it out loud.
"Oh, there are such strange rules, it really opened my eyes!" Zhou Yang had extraordinary ears and naturally heard people's comments clearly. In addition, the old man on the stage said that this was a palace auction, focusing on the two palace auctions. When he read the word, he understood that this meant letting him retreat in spite of difficulties.
Why add stunning beauties and enrich the harem? You, a little auctioneer, dare to speak loudly on behalf of the royal family and say that the beauties in the harem are in urgent need. If no one told you, you would not dare to say such a thing even if I were killed. .
It was the first time that the bully young master participated in the auction. He must have known that he did not carry a scroll of beautiful women with him, but this time you thought wrong.
"Haha, thank you for reminding me. I understand, I will pay attention." Zhou Yang said, cupping his hands towards the auction table.
"Okay, okay." The old man exclaimed, this kid finally understood, otherwise he would really not be able to get off the stage.
"If friend No. 99 gives up this mask, then..."
"Give up! Why should I give up? When did I say I was going to give up?" Zhou Yang was stunned. He didn't say that. This old man was too willing!
"You!" The old man was stunned, his face turning blue and white.
He was originally going to say that you gave up on your own initiative, but then he thought about it, that person really didn't say give up, he just said to pay attention. If this happens, wouldn't he become a human being inside and out?
"I'll pay 400,000 yuan! Plus a stunning beauty." Zhou Yang immediately added.
"Okay, okay, number ninety-nine, do you dare to sign up!" Jiufu Ma was very angry and asked Zhou Yang to sign up in a rather ungrateful manner. The meaning was already obvious. You can't be touched in public, but the auction is over. I'll see where you go later.
He also knew that Number 99 in the audience was going to fight to the end.
He has plenty of money, and of course there is no shortage of beauties, but what he wants is face. If he really buys a mask at a sky-high price and it is still in the palace, then this person will be in great disgrace.
Although the princess wife likes it, she can't lose her royal dignity.
The old man on the stage was sweating profusely and his face was extremely ugly. He thought to himself that this kid really doesn't know how high the sky is. No matter how rich and powerful you are, can you compare to the royal family? Even if you have nine fucking lives, you won’t be able to kill him.
Zhou Yang looked at the old man with a smile.
"Nine attached horses, this, this..."
"Hmph!" Jiufu Ma sat down again and snorted loudly. The old man was so frightened that he trembled all over and didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Continue the auction." At this time, the second prince said expressionlessly.
