Tomb robber: Tuantuan, I am a national treasure!

Chapter 68 "Luxury Goods"

Qi Tiezui and Jinnian both turned around and saw a man in black clothes and wearing a mask.

Jinnian's eyes lit up, and he whispered to Qi Tiezui, "I know him. When I played dice, he helped me open the dice cup."

Qi Tiezui looked up and down at the man in black. Was he from the Crescent Hotel?

Oh my, you have good taste. Such long legs, broad shoulders and narrow waist. It would be a waste for you to be a dealer, right?

The man in black was not afraid of being stared at by him, but his eyes could not stop moving towards Jinnian, and his gaze was still focused on his stomach.

Can men get pregnant too?

"Dear guests, please be patient. We will start the auction tonight soon."

Qi Tiezui listened to the voice and pulled Jinnian to find a seat. The two of them sat in a corner of the hall. "Peng Sanbian" had a private room upstairs, but Master Fo was not there now, and Qi Tiezui did not want to attract too much attention. He looked up and saw that the private rooms on the top floor were empty, which meant that today's auction items were not worth their personal presence.

After being interrupted by the host, the two students with poor memory simply ignored the man in black. It might also be because he had a weak presence.

The man in black followed Jinnian. Because of the gambling table in front, Jinnian just thought he was a staff member. He put aside the feeling of something wrong before and devoted himself to the auction.

As soon as Jinnian sat down, the jade pendant hanging around her waist was revealed, shining brightly, and immediately attracted the attention of the man in black.

The man in black frowned and looked more and more familiar.

He suddenly felt a splitting headache and held onto the pillar behind him. The rough touch awakened his mind.

At the gambling table, I felt that he looked familiar, so I helped him out. Just now, I was distracted by the jade pendant and suddenly remembered where I had seen this young boy.

He did the task a while ago when he was ill and unconscious. Now after taking medicine, he suddenly remembered it.

The man in black looked at the thing hanging on Jinnian's waist, and vaguely remembered that he seemed to have seen it when they first met. At that time, he was only thinking about completing the task and didn't look at it carefully at all. He was a little hesitant for a moment, not knowing whether he should report to the master now or observe the young boy first.

The only thing he could be sure of was that he had delivered the box to the boy's hands. Logically, nothing would happen...it was impossible that there would be no reaction at all.

The man in black thought about it carefully and decided to go back and report first, so as to avoid going crazy again without medicine.

He walked away briskly and silently. Jinnian and Qi Tiezui were already looking at the exhibits.

The host on the stage laughed in a formulaic way.

"We have prepared an album of the collection for everyone, and everyone can choose the collection they like."

"The first one is a golden branch and jade leaf."

Qi Tiezui flipped through the photo album and took a quick look at what was in it: "The names are pretty nice."

A maid walked out from the center of the booth, holding "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves", and walked around at the sidelines, keeping a distance.

"Each bid is no less than 10,000."

The host explained the rules while introducing the "golden branches and jade leaves".

"Gold is mined to make silk, skillfully woven, inlaid with jade and emerald, it is a unique work."

“This is a filigree inlaid ornament.”

"The veins between the leaves are stacked with filigree inlay techniques, with sparse and dense patterns, making the branches and leaves come alive."

Jinnian leaned forward and Qi Tiezui handed him a small telescope.

Jinnian fiddled with it for a few times, and the "golden branches and jade leaves" were already in front of him, so he simply stopped fiddling and just stared at it.

Shining in gold, the ups and downs of the leaves seemed to be revealed, making it look as if it could "breathe".

Qi Tiezui nodded and said it was quite beautiful.

"like?"

Jinnian nodded, then shook his head: "It looks very good."

He took a closer look at it. This kind of necklace was simply not very common. It was not very common in the Hong Mansion. There were no female relatives in the family, and the girls who were familiar with Jinnian preferred sachets and hairpins.

To be honest, Jinnian prefers the leaves that Tuantuan takes him to eat. They look like jade, beautiful, sweet, crispy and juicy. Every day there are strange things fighting over them, but no one fights with him for them.

Qi Tiezui glanced at the excited crowd and sighed, saying that this kind of collection is really suitable as a gift for a female companion. It looks noble, exquisite, and face-saving. It's a pity that he hasn't found it yet.

"Okay, number six once!"

“Anyone else want to raise the price?”

Qi Tiezui looked over there and nudged Jinnian's arm: "Hey, isn't number six the twin?"

The twins that Qi Tiezui and the others had met were sitting next to a man in military uniform. One of them whispered in the man's ear, and the man smiled and raised the sign directly.

"Okay, once for number five!"

Table number six was occupied by a pair of sisters and an officer, while table number five was occupied by a woman dressed in rich and elegant clothes, with her nameplates held up by the maids next to her.

"Number six twice!"

"Number five twice!"

"Number six............"

Table five and table six seemed to be arguing with each other, taking turns to call out. People at other tables saw that something interesting was going to happen and stopped joining in, occasionally calling out a few times, but in the end it was still just the two tables competing.

Jinnian was standing by, stunned, looking here and there with his grape-sized eyes.

It looks like it's number five or number six, but it's actually a competition between a rich woman and twins.

One of the twins held up a sign and the other rang a small bell. Of course, the woman was not to be outdone. For a while, the field was filled with the sound of clanging and it was very lively.

Others were also watching the show, wondering who would win.

“Is this worth that much?”

Both sides bid together, and there are also unknown people who bid many times, which is far more than the price of the collection.

Qi Tiezui understood, adjusted his glasses, and pointed to the picture in the collection booklet.

"Don't you understand?"

"They want to try their luck. Even if you don't want the ones after that, they will remember that it was the first one you bought. It's nice to be familiar with it."

"However, I think the twins are also competing with each other. I just don't know how they will be divided. Could it be that the sisters are really of one mind and will never change?"

"You can wear it for one day and I can wear it for the other day."

Qi Tiezui turned around and saw that Jinnian was really thinking seriously. He couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Oh my goodness, you really are a little genius."

"Right! We can wear them together!"

Qi Tiezui was wondering if there would be a day when the sisters would turn against each other, while Jinnian behind him was actually thinking about how to divide the jewelry. What could he say? His young master was still too kind.

Qi Tiezui squinted his eyes and smiled, then remembered the purpose of this trip.

Sometimes, being too kind is not a good thing, and it may turn into a deadly poison.

When he came to his senses, the "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves" had been photographed, and the twins and the officer had been captured.

"Congratulations, congratulations to Chief Liu for winning the first collection today."

The host raised his head and gestured, and the maid next to him brought the collection directly to the table of Chief Liu and his friends.

The two sisters took it and handed it to Officer Liu, shielding their faces with fans, their eyes and brows revealing unconcealable joy.

Commander Liu stood up, clasped his fists, and bowed slightly: "Thank you, thank you."

Everyone else in the hall clapped, including Jinnian and Qi Tiezui. The woman at table number five next to them also clapped, but she didn't look very happy.

She glanced at the twins, put down her hands, and the maid next to her handed her the collection book and helped her flip through the pages.

"It's a pity that he's an officer!"

Jinnian tilted his head curiously, holding the crystal grapes that Qi Tiezui gave him to satisfy his craving, and put them into his mouth one by one.

Qi Tiezui nodded Jinnian's head and said, "My dear, just eat two. Don't hold yourself too full! Otherwise, the Buddha will ask me about it later."

"Why do you say that?"

Jinnian put the grapes down obediently, and finally put the fallen grapes into her mouth, her mouth was so stretched that she could hardly close it.

"The rule of the Crescent Hotel is that if you bid for the collection, it will be given to you. You must pay for it, but after the item is sold, it has nothing to do with them anymore."

Seeing Jinnian's confused look, Qi Tiezui also stuffed a grape into his mouth: "That is to say, if someone steals your things, or you get robbed as soon as you go out, it has nothing to do with them, but you still have to pay."

"Oh."

Jinnian nodded, not quite understanding, and watched Qi Tiezui stuffing the fruits into his mouth one by one. He couldn't help but ask him, "Is it sweet?"

"Hahahaha, yes, it's delicious, but you can't eat it hahahahaha............"

Qi Tiezui knew that Jinnian had not eaten enough, so he teased him deliberately. He picked a bunch of grapes and waved them in front of Jinnian's eyes, which made Jinnian so angry that he turned around and looked at the booklet.

After flipping through the booklet, Jinnian didn't see anything he liked. Today's auction items were mostly accessories and some small antique decorations.

Of course Qi Tiezui had also seen it. The really good things would be the finale tomorrow. Today these little gadgets were just for show, and nothing was unique.

Just like the "golden branches and jade leaves" just now, if you look carefully, you can find something similar. However, what they found were not the kind that can be carried directly on the body. Most of them are "underground" things that are quite old.

As for the finale items for tomorrow, apart from the medicines they had to get, he estimated that he couldn't afford the rest.

"Yongzi.............."

"What?"

Qi Tiezui poked his head out.

Jinnian pointed to the picture in the album, which showed a set of Go. From the picture, one could see how beautiful the pieces were, like pieces of jade.

It happens to be the third one. The opening of "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves" has been very lively. Now I am photographing a small antique vase. There are also many people supporting it. They take it home as a decoration or give it to others, which is very face-saving.

The thing is not big, but it is quite old.

The second one is still being auctioned, and the chess piece that Jinnian likes is the next one.

"Why do you like this thing?"

Qi Tiezui was also a little curious. This chess piece was quite beautiful. If it was used as decoration, it was just so-so. Erye had a lot of things in his house that were more beautiful than this.

It's even more wrong to say that Jinnian likes playing chess. At best, Jinnian can play Gobang. How can that be useful?

"But Master Jiu will like it, right?"

Qi Tiezui raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise: "So thoughtful?"

Qi Tiezui couldn't help thinking that when Jiu Ye saw his mood, it was worth it that Jiu Ye took him out to play whenever he had nothing to do. Not only did Jiu Ye like him, but Jiu Ye could even take him out to show off to his chess friends.

If a gift from the younger generation in the family is made of stone, Master Jiu would be very precious to it.

Compared to the small gifts given as a joke on weekdays, it can be considered a "luxury item".
