Chapter 224 Uncle De
In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the last lot.

"Today's main event is here. I think you are waiting for it before leaving, right?" the old man stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"Old Yang, don't be so annoying, hurry up!"

"That's right, hurry up, it's almost dark today."

"Stop rambling, quickly take out the scroll and show it to me!"

Everyone couldn't sit still, seeing that the old man was only talking, but didn't intend to invite things out, they couldn't help urging.

If it wasn't for seeing the scrolls, everyone left early, how could they have stayed until now, but this old man is annoying, and he has to whet the appetite!
The old man chuckled, "Don't worry, everyone, of course you have to buy good things slowly, I think it deserves such a grand introduction, am I right?"

Urge?I won't go!

The old man thought silently in his heart.

He was quite happy in the first half, but not in the second half.

The price increases for so many items were not strong enough, and some of them didn't even reach the reserve price. He made little money from it, so it's no wonder he was happy.

Since everyone makes him unhappy, then he will not make everyone happy.

So then I slowly introduced the situation of the scroll, praised how good it is, and also gave examples of those scrolls and secret realms in the past, saying that the people who got them made a lot of money.

It wasn't until the people below were anxious to throw stones on the stage that the old man asked someone to take out the star scroll.

Jiang Chu twitched his lips, "That's it?"

The thing brought up was gray and simple, like the scroll of an old painting, there was nothing special about it.

"This thing was originally just a keepsake, it was recognized by various families, and their marks were left on it." Lan Dazhuang said.

What is precious is not itself, but the meaning it represents.

Jiang Chu leaned back on the chair back, and Ah Ning next to him did the same, and handed over a bunch of grapes.

The two ate a bunch of grapes, you and I, eating very happily.

The old man Yang finally started the auction after setting up the atmosphere, and this was probably the item with the highest starting price.

"The starting price is [-], and each increase should not be less than [-]."

As soon as his words fell, the sound of price increases in an instant sounded continuously, almost without interruption.

"Sixty-five thousand!"

"Sixty-eight thousand."

"I'll pay [-]!"

"Eighty thousand!"

"Eighty thousand!"

……

At this time, we can see who really came to participate and who just came to watch the fun.

"It's strange. In the past, such high prices were all ordered from private rooms, but today most of them are from the lobby." Ah Ning said vaguely while eating grapes.

"Of course, the boxes are only available to our local old customers, but the news of this scroll was leaked in advance, and the people who came later were all outsiders. How could they get a box temporarily." Lan Dazhuang propped his chin and said .

"The number ten box is also asking for a price."

Jiang Chuchao glanced at the gap outside the window.

In addition to the people sitting below, there are also people on the side of the box who are raising the price, such as the room number [-] who wants to compete with them for ice saltpeter.

"At first, I thought this person had vision, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that."

Ah Ning pouted.

If it wasn't for the person in Box No. [-] who kept asking for the price, she wouldn't have spent so much money to buy the ice saltpeter. Speaking of which, that person had a little relationship with the Lan family.

From the point of view of ice saltpeter, this person is discerning, but now he is fighting for the star scroll again.

Well, it got worse in an instant.

"Do you know who is in box number ten?" Jiang Chu asked.

"I don't know, it seems to be ownerless." Lan Dazhuang thought for a while, "I know the previous owner, but they moved with their family a few months ago, and then this No. [-] was vacant."

"I also think it is unowned. There is someone now, and it may just be rented by this person temporarily." Ah Ning said.

"So, this person may not be from Yuxiao City?" Jiang Chu asked.

"Yes, there is a possibility, but at present, it seems that this person came here for the star scroll. The news is so timely, it may have something to do with Qinghua Building." Lan Dazhuang guessed.

"He rushed to the scroll, and even fought for ice saltpeter in the middle?" Jiang Chu asked with a frown.

"What's wrong with that?"

"It's not a problem, but there are secrets in this ice saltpeter, and this person may know something." Jiang Chu felt that it is better to be careful, so it is better to remind him, "When you go back, tell your parents about this matter. , it will be troublesome if this person asks you for ice saltpeter later."

"It's not unreasonable to say that, okay, I'll tell my parents about it when I get back." Ah Ning nodded, "It's best for them to ask the craftsman to check this ice saltpeter immediately!"

"Well, very good." Jiang Chu nodded in satisfaction.

At this time, the price of the scroll had reached [-].

"Scrolls have a price, but there is no market. In previous years, there were also some that went outside, but the price depends entirely on how determined the buyer is, so any price is possible, but roughly speaking, it is impossible for it to be less than [-]." Landa Zhuang looked out the window, "It's hard to say what the highest is."

"I really want to buy Box No. [-]." Ah Ning said with a soft snort.

It's too late for a gentleman to take revenge!

It is best to report today.

After she finished speaking, both Jiang Chu and Lan Dazhuang couldn't help laughing.

But suddenly, Lan Dazhuang couldn't laugh anymore——

"One hundred and eight thousand."

There is a voice increase price below.

Landa Zhuang stood up abruptly and looked down.

"Why does this voice sound familiar?" Ah Ning said hesitantly.

"It must be familiar, this is Uncle De next to Uncle Cen!!" Lan Dazhuang said anxiously.

"Who?" Jiang Chu was at a loss.

"Uncle Cen, it's the Cen family who handed the handkerchief to my mother!" Ah Ning became a little flustered when she thought of who it was, "This voice belongs to Uncle De. I heard his voice when I was a child!"

Uncle De is the confidant housekeeper of the Cen family, and Uncle Cen and Aunt Ling often take him with them when they go out.

Ah Ning's mother and Aunt Ling shared handkerchiefs, and the two families walked around more frequently when the children were young. As the children grew up and each other was busy with things, they saw each other less.

After doing the math, Ah Ning felt that she hadn't seen Cen's family for at least four or five years.

But this did not prevent her from recognizing Uncle De through a voice.

Uncle De's throat was injured by poison, even after the poison was detoxified, his throat was still permanently damaged, and his speech was somewhat uncomfortable rough and hoarse, but this has also become his unique mark, as long as he With one mouthful, people who recognize him will immediately recognize him.

Uncle De is a confidant of the Cen family, and now that he is asking for the price, it proves that the Cen family is also there!

Jiang Chu's eyes moved.

Hand the handkerchief.

Cen's house.

It's... the family of Mr. Cen who is married to Ah Ning?
