Men are superior to women: the heartthrob in Yunqi

Mu Yao sat upright and stared at the auction table. The painting of "Shen Shen of Luo River" was covered tightly by a huge screen that was as dazzling as flames.

Soon everyone noticed something strange on the stage.

"Look, isn't that the Phoenix Fire from 'Yipin Pavilion'?"

"You read that right? That's the fabric used by the royal family of Yunlan. Only Yipin Pavilion has it in the world. It took three years to cultivate, three years to dye, and three years to weave. There are only thirty pieces left in the world."

"That curtain is half a horse's length?"

"How much is a Phoenix Fire?"

"inestimable."

"This top-grade silk was sold out before it was released. How could we possibly get to see it? Brother Qin, how can you tell it's Phoenix Fire?"

"The phoenix flower falls and the phoenix soul falls. The wind blows and the phoenix leaves, leaving the ground red. This is the phoenix fire!"

"What treasure uses phoenix fire as a curtain?"

"Big axis baby."

Mu Yao felt excited as she listened to all these different opinions, and she looked at Xu Qingcheng with her beautiful eyes full of gratitude.

Imperial Tutor Li said in disbelief: "My dear friend Mu, Qingcheng has taken out the princess's most precious treasure to support you!"

Xu Shida smiled evilly: "A beautiful woman should be paired with a precious gauze. Nephew, take out the princess' treasure. Does she know?"

Mu Yao looked at Xu Qingcheng anxiously. Xu Qingcheng raised her lips slightly and said, "Mother gave one horse to each of us three brothers."

Xu Shida smiled helplessly and said, "You, that's what she left for you to marry. Don't forget to take the treasure back after the auction."

Xu Qingcheng nodded awkwardly and said, "Don't worry, uncle."

Mu Yao looked at the Phoenix Fire shining brightly on the stage. Its red color was so ostentatious that it made the work behind the scenes look mysterious and unpredictable.

"Brother Xu, I heard that Phoenix Fire is very expensive, and only thirty pieces have been produced so far. Brother Xu has been so good to me, I don't know when I can ever repay you."

Xu Qingcheng rubbed Mu Yao's head lovingly: "Silly boy, you don't need to repay your elder brother. A peerless beauty should be paired with He Bi Sui Zhu. A Yao's painting of "The Goddess of Luo River" is so beautiful, after thinking about it, only Phoenix Fire can match it."

Li Taifu responded from the side: "My dear friend Mu, Qingcheng is right. You don't need to feel burdened."

At this moment, the "Begonia Pavilion" on the second floor was also firmly attracted by the Phoenix Fire.

"Royal brother, look, is that our Yunlan's Phoenix Fire?" Chu Manman said in surprise in the private room.

Chu Jingyao raised his handsome chin and narrowed his eyes: "It is indeed Phoenix Fire."

Chu Manman looked at the red silk on the stage with jealous eyes and threw herself into Chu Jingyao's arms and said coquettishly: "Brother, my father is partial to me. The Phoenix Fire is not even available to a princess like me. Look, even a small place like Yangming Town in Dayun has half a horse. I don't care, I want the Phoenix Fire."

Chu Jingyao's black gold silk brocade was wrinkled by Chu Manman. He pushed his sister away with a bit of disdain and smoothed the wrinkles: "When Princess Dayun got married, Yunlan gave three horses as gifts to the princess. This auction item is likely related to her. How can you be so willful? Next year's Phoenix Fire will definitely keep one for you."

Chu Manman was so anxious that her eyes turned red: "Father and Mother said the same thing this year, last year, and the year before. My eldest brother, fourth brother, and fifth brother all got married and asked me to give up my share. Next year it won't be your turn to get married, will it?" Chu Manman pouted in grievance.

Chu Jingyao comforted him, "Don't worry, even if my brother gets married, he won't miss your horse."

Chu Manman smiled and said, "I don't know what kind of treasure it is. He actually used Phoenix Fire to make curtains. It's really a waste of natural resources. Is this person stupid? Doesn't he know the value of Phoenix Fire?" Chu Manman raised her fist and said angrily. Phoenix Fire is the national treasure of their Yunlan country, and it is extremely precious. The queen mother was willing to take out a piece of it to make a phoenix robe.

"Shallow, this means that the auction items under the curtain are more valuable." Chu Jingyao calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip, the unique fragrance of Tieshan Yunwu blooming in his mouth. Today he also came for the Immortal Resurrection Grass. As the overlord of the eastern part of Yunqi, Yunlan naturally did not want Murong Chen to survive. However, the auction price has exceeded his expectations, so there is no need to wade into this muddy water. I just don't know if Xie Ci can return to Beiming smoothly. Chu Jingyao looked at Room A of Tianzi Pavilion with interest.

Many people in the audience had lost their patience and shouted, "What's the last lot?"

"Yes, open it quickly."

"You see, this lot is quite tall. I guess it's a jade screen."

"No way, judging by the size, it should be an antique piece of furniture, a shelf or something like that.

"A sword, I suppose."

The host said with a smile, "Please be quiet, everyone. The last lot to be auctioned tonight is a painting by Mr. Wu Liu, titled "The Goddess of Luo River", with a starting price of 10 million taels."

"What!" Mu Yao jumped up from her chair. The starting price of the "Immortal Resurrection Grass" was only one million taels. Her "Lotus Goddess" was worth ten million taels?

Mu Yao looked at Xu Qingcheng in disbelief and said hesitantly, "Xu, Brother Xu, did you hear what the emcee said, did you?"

Xu Qingcheng nodded gently to let Mu Yao feel at ease. Master Li's eyes were full of brilliance: This kid is determined to win. And Xu Shida laughed at the side and said, "My dear Mu, I am now looking forward to who will win the title of "The Goddess of Luo River" tonight! Hahahaha."

Mu Yao's heart was pounding, and her back was straight. Although she was quite confident in her paintings, the starting price of 10 million taels made her short-sighted and ignorant.

There was unexpected silence downstairs, and everyone was concentrating on watching the items under the Phoenix Fire. The starting price of 10 million taels was unprecedented!

Fireworks bloom in the sky and the phoenix soars in nirvana.

The peerless beauty under the phoenix fire finally revealed her true face after everyone's long-awaited anticipation.

This is a picture of an unparalleled beauty, who could conquer a city with one glance and a country with another!

The woman in the painting is as glorious as autumn chrysanthemums and luxuriant spring pines, with a bun on her head and long eyebrows. Her lips are bright and her teeth are white. Her eyes are bright and charming, and her cheeks are full of beauty. She is gorgeous and elegant, calm and relaxed, gentle and charming, and charming in her words. She is as graceful as a startled swan and as graceful as a swimming dragon. Her hair is like a light cloud covering the moon and fluttering like snow blown by the wind.

The "Lotus Goddess" seemed like a dream in the flickering lights. Xu Qingcheng was shocked to see the "beauty" again. He quickly glanced at the people on the second and third floors who had not "appeared".

Everyone was immersed in the beauty of the lady, unable to extricate themselves for a long time. After a long while, an unprecedented noise broke out. Many people in the hall stood up, and the crowd surged. The Treasure Pavilion had to send dozens of employees to maintain order.

"She looks back and smiles charmingly, so beautiful! Is she real?"

"Have you ever seen a girl grow up like that?"

"Damn it! The starting price is 10 million! It's out of reach!"

"Mr. Wu Liu is a genius! Mr. Wu Liu knows this noble lady?"

"What is the relationship between Mr. Wu Liu and this noble lady?"

"Where is Mr. Wu Liu from? How come I have never heard of him?"

"Does any of you know his real name?"

"I must get to know Mr. Wu Liu!"

"Yes! Let's go together!"

Mu Yao felt ashamed as everyone's words became more and more outrageous. She carefully admired her masterpiece again. It was only five points of color that could make a sensation. If it was a real self-portrait one day, it would definitely cause a sensation.

Mu Yao's eyes were shining with gold as she rubbed her hands secretly, feeling extremely proud.

Suddenly she realized that no one had bid yet, and anxiously tugged at Xu Qingcheng's sleeve: "Brother Xu, it seems that no one has bid yet?" She actually wanted to say that the starting price didn't need to be so high, at least it could be sold if it was lower, but what if no one bid if it was too high? For example, Xie Ci, Chen Ziyan and Liu Huifeng, the three big guys who were seriously injured.

Xu Qingcheng looked at the two open windows opposite and smiled gently, "Don't worry, Yao."

At this time, the MC announced: "The Plum Blossom Pavilion bids 15 million taels."

"Look, Plum Blossom Pavilion has made an offer."

"Who is coming to Plum Blossom Pavilion today?"

"I do not know!"

"I know, I know. I heard that the owner of Fuguang Pavilion is Zhao Huaian. I came early today and saw him when I was urinating in the backyard."

"Then how do you know he is in Plum Blossom Pavilion?"

"Hey, it's pretty close."

Mu Yao was almost stunned by the bright gold ingots. Fifteen million! Treasure Pavilion took 10%, Sanwei Bookstore took 30%, which meant that she could get nine million taels!

"Oh my god, is this what it feels like to become rich overnight? Can someone wake me up! Could it be that God took pity on her being penniless and is giving her compensation?"

Mu Yao clutched her clothes tightly. She knew that this was just the beginning and the price would be even higher. Mu Yao forced herself to calm down. After ten years of hard work, Mu Yao now wanted to know how much her paintings were worth in Yunqi.

Master Li winked at Xu Qingcheng: "Qingcheng, Zhao Huaian is not easy to deal with."

A big question mark popped up above Mu Yao's head again: "Master Li, who is Zhao Huaian?"

Li Taifu replied: "He is the largest herbal medicine merchant in Dayun. More than half of the herbs in Dayun Pharmacy are supplied by Fuguang Pavilion. Zhao Huaian's herbal garden in Yunqi exceeds 3,000 acres, and his strength is quite strong."

Xu Qingcheng frowned, it seemed that today was different from the past, people who shouldn’t have come also came to join in the fun.

Xu Shida walked closer to Xu Qingcheng and patted him on the shoulder gently: "Don't worry, Uncle Xu will support you."

Master Li also said: "Young friend Mu's work is worthy, and I will support you."

Mu Yao was puzzled and asked uncertainly, "Brother Xu wants "The Goddess of Luo River"?"

Xu Qingcheng froze and avoided Mu Yao's gaze awkwardly.

"My dear friend Mu, he likes her very much." Master Li joked.

Mu Yao was puzzled: "But why didn't Brother Xu tell me? I could just give you The Goddess of Luo River."

Xu Qingcheng was both relieved and distressed: "Silly Ayao, a gentleman does not take away what others like. I have been so arrogant and bought a painting of a beauty at a low price. How can you still be unsatisfied? Good works should be recognized by the world and establish their due value!"

Mu Yao wanted to say something else, but Master Li nodded in agreement and said, "Qingcheng is right. Good paintings are like wine. A work that can make people intoxicated for a thousand years is the ultimate lifelong pursuit of every painter. "The Goddess of Luo River" is unique in terms of brushwork, coloring, and composition. It should be shown to the world to promote new techniques."

"The price of Wangyue Pavilion is: 20 million taels!" the master of ceremonies shouted again.

The bidding for "Shen Shen of Luo River" was quite fierce, with both bidders bidding as high as 5 million taels.

"Royal brother, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and bid!" Chu Manman was so excited when she saw the painting of "Goddess of Luo River" for the first time. She was known as "the most beautiful woman in Yunlan" and was always confident in her appearance. Seeing this painting of a beauty today was a big shock, but it did not stop her from liking it. Who doesn't like a beauty? In her eyes, as long as they are beautiful, men and women are the same. What's more, this painting is so beautiful that even gods would be tempted. She secretly glanced at the second royal brother several times, and his eyes were always on the painting of "Goddess of Luo River". She didn't believe that the second royal brother didn't want it!

Chu Jingyao was not aware of the fact that the tea in his hand scalded his hands. He quietly looked at "The Goddess of Luo River". The beauty in the painting was more beautiful than the crabapple and exuded a seductive luster. Under his cold eyes was the long-dormant desire.

He gestured with his hand, and the guard Qingfeng immediately raised the sign.

"Haitang Pavilion's offer: 30 million taels."

Everyone was extremely shocked. This momentum was no less than that of the "Immortality Grass."

In the Moon-Watching Pavilion, a tall man in a red robe stood in front of the window, with a thick curtain covering his tall and straight figure. A silver mask covered the upper half of his face, revealing his beautifully curved lips and chin. He looked evil and wild, and the pressure from the superior made people dare not look directly at him.
