Chapter 493 The grand event starts

The time gradually came to eight o'clock in the evening. With the sound of a huge gong, everyone's eyes were attracted.

On the presiding stage, the third lady was very eye-catching in a gorgeous fiery red gown. The red gown was well cut, and there was already a trace of a cheongsam.

It set off her exquisite body even more perfectly, and when she swayed gently in lotus steps, she walked slowly to the center, and before she could make a sound, everyone cheered.

"Wow, what a beauty."

"Is this the beauty of the Ming Kingdom? Unexpectedly, there are people who are like gods in the world. Lord, please forgive me, a sinner, I have fallen..."

The third lady always had a faint smile on her face, as if she wanted to take those praise words with different tones to heart.

Her eyes swept over everyone, and finally stopped on Li Tian who was in the middle of the second floor.

Without everyone noticing, she gave Li Tian a slight nod. After getting Li Tian's acquiescence, she slightly shook the cloak behind her, spread her hands, and said loudly,

"All distinguished guests are here, the Wanbao Pavilion is simply full of splendor! In order to reward you for your appreciation, today's treasure competition, no matter how much you win, our store will present you with an exquisite glass cup as a thank you!"

While she was talking, a very energetic young man came up holding a tray covered with a big red silk cloth.

The third lady took off the red silk, revealing dozens of neatly arranged glass cups inside.

The styles of these cups are exactly the same. Although they are only the size of an egg, they are very exquisite in workmanship, and more importantly, they are pure and flawless, without a trace of variegation.

"Look, everyone, this is tonight's gift, as long as the VIPs who participate in the bidding, everyone will have a share."

When everyone suddenly saw so many crystal clear cups, although they had already prepared in their hearts, they still couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Oh my God, is the organizer crazy or stupid? Such a precious colored glass cup is just a gift!"

"Good... good thing, I have never seen such a clear glass in my life, how much is this thing, I want it, I want it all!"

The third lady pursed her lips and smiled,
"This guest, don't worry. This is a gift, not an auction. There are still more good things in the future. Don't worry about one thing and lose the other. Get the real good things!"

Being declined, the person who even wanted to snatch the gift got a big blush at that time.

"Hey, sorry, sorry, I am also eager for Aibo, everyone don't care anymore, don't care!"

Although Shen Lingfeng was also from a family of officials, his father's income was not enough for his family to spend extravagantly.

Therefore, he has no concept of the value of a colored glass cup.

So he tugged on the prince's sleeve in embarrassment and asked in a low voice,
"Brother Wang, those glazed wine glasses..."

Before he finished speaking, Prince Wang couldn't help but excitedly said,

"I didn't expect the host to be so proud. Brother Shen, you don't know. Some time ago, Sea Lion House once sold a glass cup that was far inferior to the one in front of you. Do you know what price it sold for?"

Shen Lingfeng shook his head, Prince Wang stretched out three fingers and said,
"300 taels, a full 300 taels! Although this gift is not as big as the glass cup, it is more exquisite and purer in workmanship, and its value is by no means inferior to that one.

If it is true as they said, everyone participating in the bidding will give one as a gift, it will cost more than 1 taels of silver, my handwriting is simply amazing! "

When Shen Lingfeng heard this, he couldn't stop exclaiming.

"Are they crazy? Anything worth more than 1 taels of silver can be given away!"

Prince Wang said excitedly,
"This is even better. I didn't bring much money today. I thought I would return empty-handed. If I could get a gift, it would be a worthwhile trip!"

After finishing speaking, he poked Shen Lingfeng once and said,

"When you see the opportunity, you should also participate in the bidding, so that you can get a glass wine glass worth several hundred taels for nothing!"

After all, Shen Lingfeng wanted face, he quickly shook his head and said,
"Forget it, I'm not interested in these flashy things!" Although he said this, his clenched hands still revealed the unrest in his heart.

At this time, the third lady on the stage raised her hand again and said,
"All of you are invited to come in, the treasure competition is about to begin!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand again, and the lights on the scene dimmed.

Just when everyone thought that something unexpected had happened and panicked.

The ceiling on the second floor slowly cracked a gap, and a pure and transparent disc with a diameter of more than one meter slowly fell from it.

As the loudspeaker sounded slowly, the disk slammed into countless ornaments.

Each pendant is made of transparent glass beads, and with the slight swing of the disc, it makes a crisp and pleasant sound.

Finally, when the disk fell to a certain level, a dozen crystal lampshades suddenly popped up above the disk.

A faint flame fell rapidly from the top of the disc.

With a soft bang, a lampshade lit up instantly, and then all of them lit up one after another.

When the last lampshade was lit up, the entire hall became bright again.

It's just that the lighting this time is softer and more comfortable.

Someone saw this astonishing scene and couldn't help exclaiming,
"What is this? Could it be a kind of lamp! A lamp made of colored glaze seems too extravagant!"

The third lady smiled and said,

"This honored guest guessed right, this is indeed a kind of lamp, carefully crafted and polished by skilled craftsmen.

Although it only has a dozen or so lampshades, it can show the lighting effect of more than 100 candles through the mutual refraction between the glazed glass.

Moreover, the light is filtered by the lampshade, and the light emitted is not dazzling at all. I believe you can feel this for yourself! "

"That's true. It's indeed much more comfortable than before. I didn't expect that colored glaze could have such a wonderful use. It's not an exaggeration to describe the craftsmanship of this lamp as ingenious!"

"Third Madam, is this glazed chandelier for sale? I want it, and I want it for any amount!"

The one who spoke was still the guy who wanted to grab the gift glass from before.

The third lady and many others were amused by this quick-tempered person,
"My distinguished guest, you are too impatient. I might as well tell you that this lamp is also for sale, but only after all other auction items are sold."

"It's okay, I like this lamp very much, it doesn't matter how long I wait!"

When everyone was almost seated, the third lady came to a table dedicated to future auctioneers, picked up a delicate small wooden hammer, and tapped lightly.
With a crisp voice reaching everyone's ears, the third lady said loudly,
"Then, the treasure competition starts now, and now we have our first auction!"
