Chapter 40 Juyuan Tower

Just when Shen Yinqi was about to explain to Xiao Sanqi, Du En interrupted and said:

"We are not grave robbers. We got this bead by accident. We can't take you to dig any graves."

Lu Sanqi obviously didn't believe Du En's words, and he continued to pester:

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in the gold and silver treasures in the tomb. If you take me with you, I can give you all my pocket money!"

Lin Yan smiled and said: "You little brat, brother, can we still covet your pocket money?"

How many coppers and pieces of silver? Even if they are really tomb-turners, they can't just mess around with their children!

"Wait."

Lu Sanqi dropped the two words and hurried out of the house.

Soon, he returned with a box in his arms.

thump.

The box was placed on the table and made a muffled sound, which showed that it was not light.

Lin Yan couldn't help but look at the box.

Even if it were copper plates, it would cost at least several thousand coins to fill such a big box, right?

After all, he lives in Juyuan Building, and he is the son of the accountant. As a father, he leaks out from the cracks of his hands casually. This son's pocket money is comparable to what ordinary people spend in several years or even ten years!
But when Lu Sanqi opened the box, Lin Yan's eyes widened and she lifted her butt off the stool. She was shocked!
What was in that box was not copper plates and broken silver, but gold and silver!

At a glance, it's more than 300 taels of gold, right?

"My great-uncle, what do you call Linghua?"

Then how much money does his father have to make before he can use gold as pocket money for his children?
I'm afraid the young masters of the official family don't have such luxury as him!

"Yes, I often wander around this building. Those dignitaries are happy and throw some silver coins around. I have no place to spend, and my mother is strict, so I have saved so much."

Lu Sanqi smiled slightly proudly, showing two cute little tiger teeth.

Lin Yan was dumbfounded: "Does your father still lack a son??"

After hearing this, Lu Sanqi said seriously: "Que, I have five sisters, and I am the only son. He keeps shouting that if he has a younger brother, he will not care about me."

"elder brother?"

Lin Yan screamed shamelessly.

Shen Yinlu stepped on him under the table in disgust.

She closed the box containing the gold and silver money and said to Lu Sanqi: "We are indeed not tomb-turners. We really can't take you to join in the fun. Hurry up and hide the box back!"

The light in Lu Sanqi's eyes dropped and he looked at Shen Yinlu with doubt: "Really or not? Do you think you have too little money? I can ask my father for how much you want."

"It's not about money. We're really not tomb-turners. We can't find a tomb to have fun with you just for your money, right?"

Shen Yinfu repeatedly stated that Lu Sanqi had no choice but to give up.

Just when he was frustrated and about to leave with the box in his arms, Lin Yan stood up, stopped him, and invited him back——

"You're already here, sit down for a while and eat before you leave!"

Lu Sanqi lost interest, but still obeyed, sat back down, and ate meat.

Shen Yinwen was unhappy and whispered indistinctly: "Don't even be greedy for children's money."

Lin Yan leaned closer and whispered: "I am greedy, but now we don't lack that bit of virtue."

It's not like they don't have money now.

Although he has more money than this kid, he doesn't go to the extent of tricking the kid into lacking virtue.

"You don't want to know about Juyuan Tower. It's useless to just listen to the nonsense that Du En said. Why don't you listen to what the people in Juyuan Tower have to say."

Shen Yinlu: "."

This seems to work.
-
Fourth floor.

Qi Hongwei was leaning against the window wearing a gray-purple attire. He felt bored when he saw the people and vendors going about in the streets and alleys below.

He picked an orange from the fruit plate nearby and threw it down. He saw the orange randomly hit a commoner——

The man covered his head and looked up subconsciously. He saw the open window upstairs in Juyuan and the oranges rolling down on the ground. He quickly bent down to pick them up and bowed to the people upstairs to say thank you.
Qi Hongwei's lips curved into a playful smile, he grabbed a few dates and threw them out.

Suddenly several people were hunched down to pick it up.

Seeing that many people were crowding around waiting for him to give alms, Qi Hongwei picked up the peeling knife next to him and threw it out——

Suddenly there were sounds of dissatisfaction from below.

However, this dissatisfaction was still suppressed and did not dare to be heard by the master upstairs.

Qi Hongwei only found it interesting.

Qi Xun, who was drinking tea with Qi Binping next to him, couldn't help but look over and said lightly: "Stop making trouble."

Qi Hongwei then stood up and left from the window, sat down at the table, and picked up a glass of wine:

"Brother Six, this Juyuan Building auction is getting more and more boring. It's the same style every time. You've only just started to feel better. Why do you come to join in the fun?!"

Either they were some treasures and foreign objects brought from foreign countries, or they were slaves and women.

It was still a bit fresh before, but after so many years, he has long since lost interest.

Qi Binping: "I heard that there is a glass bead today. It is a holy bead pressed under the tongue of King Xihan. It can protect insects and ants from invading and the body from rotting."

Qi Hongwei frowned, feeling disgusted: "Forget about other burial objects, the things in the dead man's mouth are not bad luck!"

Why did you buy it?

Do you want to keep it in your mouth after you die?
"Brother Six, do you want it?"

Qi Xun glanced at Qi Hongwei.

The amusement on Qi Hongwei's face immediately subsided.

He never looked down upon useless dead things.

He came to investigate the incident where the red paper clothes exploded and injured people ten days ago.

Qi Xun ignored him, Qi Hongwei turned to Qi Binping restlessly and said:
"Brother Six has never cared about those rare treasures. Since they are not for objects, they can only be for people."

"Today, the oiran girl from Tuxianglou will dance for this auction. It is said that Juyuanlou spent a lot of money to make sure that Miss Liu won tonight and gave her an extra reward for the highest bid tonight."

Liu Yu'er, the courtesan of Tuxianglou, has a pair of fox eyes and looks enchanting.

He is capable of playing, playing, and singing, and his poetry, music, and painting are as good as those of the top scholar.

Because she is the daughter of the madam of Tuxianglou, Liu Yuer is different from other prostitutes. Her prostitution depends on the mood of the person, let alone selling her body.

Anyone in the capital who spends the night with Liu Yuer will be bragging about it for a long time!

Juyuan Tower is basically abandoning its roots today.

Qi Xun, on the other hand, can be regarded as a frequent visitor to Liu Yuer.

Qi Hongwei thought Qi Xun was here for the beauty. Qi Xun naturally listened and just glanced at Qi Hongwei without any explanation.

Soon, the boy outside knocked on the door and reported:
The auction has started.

Qi Xun and the other three took the masks and put them on. When they went out, they saw that the circular corridor was already crowded with people. Everyone was wearing various masks of different colors. They were leaning on the railings and heading towards the circular platform on the first floor below. Look -
-
Shen Yinlu and others were originally in the private room on the second floor. Lin Yan heard that there was an oiran performing a dance, so he quickly took Shen Yinluo and Duen downstairs to watch the fun in front of the round platform.
Lu Sanqi also followed behind.Several people arrived late and could no longer squeeze into the front row.

"This mask is really in the way -" Lin Yan said, taking off the mask from his face.

It's hard to see clearly when people are crowded, and this mask blocks the view even more.

Shen Yinlu pinched Lin Yan's waist and said, "What are you doing? Put on the mask!"

Didn't Xiao Sanqi say that the function of this mask is to prevent the leakage of transaction information so that people can recognize it.

Lin Yan was not happy: "What we need to guard against are their dignitaries. What should I be afraid of if I just join in the fun with nothing!"

Only those who are officials and have a lot of money don't want people to know about their lavish spending, for fear of causing trouble.
They are neither officials nor have money to auction, so what are they afraid of?

Du En snatched the mask from Lin Yan's hand, slapped it on his face, and tied a tight knot on the rope on the back of his head:
"Have you forgotten that you almost lost your life on Lubao Street?!"

You didn't chop him, so don't you remember that?

Lin Yan remembered it and straightened the mask obediently, not daring to play tricks anymore.

They didn't know that Lin Yan only showed his face for a short time before being noticed by others.

Qi Hongwei on the fourth floor was a little unsure. He pointed at the three people who were almost out of sight and asked:
"Brother, does that little guy look like Dr. Shen?"

Qi Xun didn't pay attention at first. He followed Qi Hongwei's pointer and saw that there were two dwarfs there——

They all wore masks on their faces, and they were crowded, and they looked from top to bottom. He could only see the top of their heads, and he couldn't tell.

"You care about him."

When you see a short person, you can think of Mr. Shen.

Qi Hongwei: "Why are you so worried? If I hadn't seen how dedicated she was to saving you that day, I wouldn't have looked at her twice!"

Qi Xun: "Didn't you say that she returned all the thank-you gifts? Do you think the one on the east side can afford to let her come to Juyuan Tower for fun?"

The people blocked him in the palace and asked his concubine to come out to plead for mercy. They also said that they would go to the palace to borrow money.

Hehe, it’s quite cowardly to be a prince and do what he does!
Speaking of thanking you, Qi Hongwei suddenly remembered.

"Also, the housekeeper told me that there was something wrong with the accounts. There was a shortage of 100 taels of silver. This is too much. The people in this east mansion have dirty hands and feet! What a bitch who set up a memorial arch. She wants to be honorable and honorable, but she is also greedy for money and benefits."

As Qi Hongwei spoke, he aimed a date in his hand at the two dwarfs, one tall and one short, and threw it over——

Seeing the short tall boy downstairs raise his head, the corners of Qi Hongwei's mouth raised, showing a bit of pleasure.

Qi Xun: "You can't enter Juyuan Tower with 100 taels of silver."

Can't even afford a pot of tea.

What's more, everyone who can enter the Juyuan Building today is not an individual guest.

Qi Binping, who was standing next to him, said lightly: "You can't enter the Juyuan Building with 100 taels, but you can still enter the Juyuan Building without any money."

Qi Hongwei made a sound of disdain: "Just her? Even if she is a thief, what valuable items can she steal from that shabby house?"

Can the objects that can enter the Juyuan Building be the rags from random stalls on the street?
"But when it comes to calligraphy and painting, it's still possible."

The prince's only hobby of spending money is calligraphy and painting.

In recent years, the emperor has also rewarded the prince with many famous people.

But if she dared to steal, she wouldn't just take a small ingot of silver from the thank you gift.

The three of them were chatting, neither too loud nor too soft. They didn't avoid anything, and they didn't know anything about it. The people directly above on the fifth floor listened to every word -
-
Shen Yinlu just thought it was a guest upstairs who accidentally dropped a date and didn't take it to heart.

I was soon attracted by the swaying dance on the stage and became mesmerized——

When the song ended, there was loud applause and cheers.

Lin Yan beside him also cheered, which made Shen Yinlu suddenly come back to his senses.

No wonder these men are willing to hold hundreds of thousands of taels of gold just for the beauty to smile.

Absolutely, absolutely.

The dance is beautiful, the slender waist is twisted like a water snake, not to mention the beauty's immortal talent, the charming bones are like nature, the narrow and upward eyes are wrapped in a light pink, endless charm and sensibility.

Especially the coldness in his eyes, like a god overlooking all living beings and disturbing all living beings.
She thought Xu Liangdi was already the most beautiful woman she had ever seen.

But today I found out that Xu Liangdi was just a little bit pretty.

Such an immortal beauty, not only a man, but also a woman, one can't help but want to take a second look at her.

After the dance ended, the wonderful people on the stage retreated, and most of the guests around the stage also sat back and returned to their rooms.
Lin Yan turned around and saw Shen Yinlu next to him with his eyes downcast and lost his mind, and then he remembered that he had been too out of character just now.

"Feng, don't be angry, I'm just taking a look."

He just looked good-looking and had a good time. He didn't have any evil thoughts.

No matter how beautiful that woman is, she is still a prostitute in a brothel.

He still likes fucking the most.

Shen Yinxi came back to his senses, "I'm not angry. She is really good-looking. I wish I could get closer and take a closer look, let alone you!"

Doen from behind interrupted: "I didn't look at it much."

He just glanced at it a few times before, but then didn't look towards the stage.

Lin Yanji: "What's wrong with you?"

This is adding insult to injury!
Lu Sanqi, who had been standing with him for a while without seeing her, said, "That's easy. I'll ask my dad if I can invite this oiran girl to the room so that you can have a good look!"

Shen Yinlu and Lin Yan's eyes lit up instantly.

"Okay, Brother Lu San, you."

Halfway through Lin Yan's excited words, he glanced at Shen Yinlu with concern, cleared his throat awkwardly, and changed the subject:

"I have a wife, please bring it to Du En to see her!"

Doon: "."

He didn't want to.

But seeing that Shen Yinlu was also happy, Du En pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Then you go back to your room and wait while I go find my dad."

After Lu Sanqi finished speaking, he turned and left.
-
The three of them went back to the house to wait for the good news from Lu Sanqi.

At the same time, after the hall stage was quickly tidied up, the auction officially began.

Shen Yinlu stood by the window in the corridor and looked at the hall stage. The connoisseur introduced the origin of the first auction item, which was a unicorn carved from Mo Yao jade.
The starting price is three hundred gold.

Every time the price is called, it starts at [-].

Shen Yinlu heard the price increase again and again, but after a few rounds, he finally made the final decision and closed the deal for [-] gold.

The hammer fell, causing her heart to beat wildly.

terrible! !
She knew that Juyuan Building was luxurious and luxurious, but she didn't expect that the minimum transaction price here was gold.

A pair of palm-sized jade unicorns were sold for 800 taels of gold.

terrible!! !
Is it true that no matter what it is, as long as it enters the Juyuan Building, it will be several times or even dozens or dozens higher than what is outside?
