The two wandered around the county for a while, and after asking around, they finally arrived at the largest Tianxiang Inn in Yuyang County.

Accommodation is not cheap, it costs [-] cents a night for two people to share a room.

Zhong Chuchu didn't think it mattered, but Song Yan's face turned dark.

Why is everything so expensive in this county?
  Zhong Chuchu entered the room and locked the door from the inside.

Look around the room and then around again.

She was relieved that there was no problem.

When it was dinner time, Song Yan didn't come over to ask her to have dinner with her.

Simply, she didn't want to go out to eat. The bracelet contained meals she had prepared long ago.

She had a delicious meal in the room and bought a bottle of Coke.

After eating and drinking, she lay down on the bed.

After calling up the trading mall, she opened the trading mall and started browsing.

What should you bring to tomorrow's auction to win?

She thought about it and had no idea, so she finally selected a few spare items and added them to the shopping cart.

Early the next morning, she was awakened by a knock on the door.

"Ms. Zhong, are you up?"

Song Yan's voice came.

"Go down and have breakfast!"

Zhong Chuchu regretted that she forgot to say hello to him yesterday.

I should have thought that this kid would not miss this free breakfast!
  She had no choice but to get up, clean up for a while, and finally left the room.

After breakfast, Song Yan went back to the room.

He already said he couldn't go yesterday, so today, Zhong Chuchu could only go by himself.

Arriving in front of the Lu Mansion, I found that there seemed to be more carriages parked today.

This time, with the maid accompanying him, it was easy to find the banquet hall.

The main purpose today is the auction, so as soon as the guests arrive, they must first register the items.

Zhong Chuchu was led through the long nine-curved corridor and came to a splendid courtyard.

"Ms. Zhong, please wait."

The maid said respectfully.

"This is the item registration office. You can take a look here and I will go out to pick up other guests."

"Well, you go."

Zhong Chuchu smiled.

There are other servants in the courtyard, and the items for each house to participate in the auction are sent by servants.

Only Zhong Chuchu was alone, so he brought her over directly.

After all the items in front were registered, she touched the box in her sleeve and walked straight in.

The room is not big, but very simple. There is a bead curtain on the wall inside, and there should be a place for stacking items behind it.

There is a golden nanmu carved table at the door, and an old man with gray hair is sitting behind the table.

There was no expression on the old man's face, he just stretched out his hand to indicate that she could sit down.

"Name?"

The old man asked without raising his head:

"What items are being donated?"

"Zhong Chuchu."

She carefully placed the box on the table:

"The name is: Luminous Quicksand Lighter."

The old man wrote a meal.

What is this? He is in charge of the treasure house in the county magistrate's house and prides himself on being well-informed. Why has he never heard of this name?

He raised his eyes and looked at Zhong Chuchu.

She is well-dressed, and the things she brings out must not be ordinary either.

He put down the brush in his hand and solemnly opened the box on the table.

A small square box no bigger than a palm lay inside.

The surface is off-white, with fine black particles on it, like smoke and fog, and the glaze is as smooth as jade.

At first glance, I don’t know what kind of material it is. "Here, what is this thing? Madam Zhong, can you introduce it to me?"

The old man's attitude suddenly became very respectful:
  "In this way, the old man can also register it well and introduce it well during the auction."

Zhong Chuchu nodded slightly and said:

"of course."

After saying that, she took the lighter out of the box.

When the lighter was turned on, the black particles on the shell flowed slowly, dreamlike, like an ingenious landscape painting!
  "This...this is incredible!"

The old man was so excited that he couldn't move his eyes.

Zhong Chuchu smiled and shook her head, holding it in her hand calmly.

Next, she made a set of handsome and attractive fancy lighter lighting movements. The movements were smooth and smooth, and the lighter played various tricks in her hands.

The old man opened his mouth wide, and saw the object flying up and down in her hand, and blue flames actually appeared.

He felt that the scene in front of him was beyond his understanding.

After Zhong Chuchu finished her performance, she put the lighter back into the box.

Seeing that the old man didn't even move his eyes, he could only cough twice.

The old man came back to his senses and looked at the box on the table with fiery eyes.

"Ms. Zhong, this thing is indeed magical, but our people may not be able to learn what you just demonstrated."

He said cautiously:

"I wonder, can you come on stage in person to introduce me then?"

His attitude was very humble, and he even used honorifics.

Zhong Chuchu thought about it, and in order to maximize the value of this lighter, she introduced it herself.

She readily agreed.

Afterwards, the old man recorded the items solemnly, wrote a note with the red seal of the county magistrate's office to her, and then personally sent the box to the warehouse.

The front yard of Lu Mansion.

Zhong Chuchu has left a deep impression on everyone because of yesterday's magic trick.

As soon as he arrived at the venue, many people gathered around him.

"Ms. Zhong, are you here too?"

"Ms. Zhong, if there is anything you like today, just tell me and I will take a photo and give it to you."

A handsome young man came towards me, holding a folding fan in his hand.

There are four elegant characters written on the fan: It is rare to be confused!
  Zhong Chuchu thought to herself: If you are still fanning on such a cold day, it seems that you are not just confused, but really confused!

She wasn't used to this kind of people, so she just said shyly:
  "Okay, sir, you are so generous. I don't want any other valuables. Just help me take a picture of the century-old ginseng from yesterday!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the young man's face suddenly turned pale.

This woman is like a lion.

Zhong Chuchu chuckled twice, and then said with a concerned look:

"What's wrong? The money given by your family is not enough?"

She covered her mouth and made a gesture of surprise:
  "Oh, you don't have any money and you still want to imitate others and spend a lot of money?"

The people around couldn't help laughing.

The popular face turned white and red, then red and black.

"You, you are simply ignorant!"

After saying that, he closed the fan with a snap, flicked his sleeves, and turned away.

Seeing this, Zhong Chuchu felt bored.

"Ms. Zhong, you shouldn't have humiliated him like this just now!"

Lan Ruoyue's voice sounded behind her:

"He is from the Xu family in Pingcheng. Their family is very vengeful. You just offended him. I'm afraid the other party will use some dirty tricks to deal with you."

Zhong Chuchu turned around and saw that she was wearing a light goose yellow gauze skirt today, a white brocade jacket, and snow-white rabbit down sewn on the corners.

An emerald jade hairpin is inserted diagonally into the bun, uniquely made into the shape of green bamboo, which makes it look somewhat elegant.

But the rabbit fur is very ordinary, and compared with the fox fur and mink shawls of other ladies, it is much plainer.

Apart from the jade hairpin in her hair and an ordinary gold bracelet on her hand, she had no other accessories.

Among the girls from various families who were all dressed up in colorful clothes, they seemed a bit shabby.
