Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 464 Strange Girl

Originally, the starting price of the xiao was only one hundred taels of silver, and the highest bid from both the downstairs and upstairs was increased little by little until it reached one hundred and fifty taels. But now this person asked for one thousand taels of silver right away, which made most of the interested people give up and stare at them in amazement.

Who is this wealthy customer who is so generous?!

Also, what's so special about this xiao? Is it worth the high price?

Although this xiao has the function of summoning spirits and communicating with spirits, it requires someone with that level of skill to use it!

Ordinary people have no use for it at all, and no joker is more useful than this kind of card.

Moreover, this thing is not unique. Some stores selling exorcism items also sell similar things. This xiao is at most more exquisite and beautiful, and perhaps the materials used are also more sophisticated.

For a while, there were no more bids.

The auctioneer downstairs was beaming with joy, for the higher the price of the item, the greater his reward. Naturally, he was delighted. He loudly inquired, "One thousand taels! The distinguished guest upstairs bids one thousand taels! Is there anyone else interested in acquiring this special soul-calling xun?"

There was a lot of murmurs around, but no one bid.

The manager patiently called out the price twice, and just when he was about to make the final decision, a bidding sound suddenly came from upstairs.

"One thousand five hundred taels!"

As soon as the words fell, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, but unfortunately the price of that private room was also being called out by the waiter from Ruyuanlou, making it impossible to tell who this wealthy customer was.

And the person bidding behind the scenes was Si He.

Although the current price of this xiao is a bit expensive, it is quite beautiful and she likes it. Most importantly, she wants to test the function of this xiao. Maybe if she improves it in time, it will become a good treasure. Anyway, she is not short of money.

Gao You and Gao Zi on the side looked at Si He with complicated expressions, and then looked at the xiao downstairs through the bead curtain. They didn't expect her to offer such a high price.

The auctioneer downstairs was now excited and shouted loudly, "One thousand five hundred taels! Is there a higher price? This is a rare treasure, exquisitely crafted and of extraordinary use. Interested customers should not miss it!"

The guests in the lobby on the first floor were silent for a moment, and then there was a lot of noise, everyone was talking about the xiao, but no one wanted to participate in the bidding.

The man in the private room upstairs was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but in the end he asked the waiter to call out the price again.

"One thousand eight hundred taels!"

The guy stood in front of the window sill, shouting in a loud and imposing voice, as if he was going to buy it. Everyone looked at him, and he immediately straightened his back a little straighter, as if he felt very impressive.

Si He once again cast her gaze towards the private room across the street, wondering if that person was so taken with the pottery xun, or was he just trying to prove himself?

At this time, Gao You, who was standing by, couldn't help but say, "Madam, isn't this price too high? It's not worth it, is it?"

Although Gao You didn't quite understand this, looking at the reactions of the people downstairs and the previous situation, he roughly knew that this xiao should not be worth the price. You know, this is more than a thousand taels of silver, which is not a small amount!

Gao Zi couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Yes, ma'am, let's forget it."

Although the lady's dowry was quite large, most of it was large items that were stored in the palace in Changping City. There was not much actual silver.

It is said that the mansion is currently spending a lot of money, and there is little financial aid from the royal palace. This one thousand and two taels of silver is really not a small amount of money, so we have to persuade them a little.

Si He glanced at the two of them, her lips curled up slightly. She was neither anxious nor impatient. She picked up the teacup and took a sip thoughtfully.

The guy at the window sill also looked at her, waiting for her instructions: should he bid again or give up?

After a while, she put down the cup and said to the waiter, "Two thousand taels. If anyone raises the price, I won't take it."

Upon hearing this, the waiter shouted, "Two thousand taels!"

As soon as the words fell, there was another heated discussion in the lobby downstairs. Their eyes looked at the clay ocarina on the high platform, and then looked at the private rooms No. 7 and No. 10 upstairs that were being bid on.

The happiest person present, apart from the owner of the xiao, was probably the auctioneer.

The steward looked up at Room 7 with excitement and shouted, "Two thousand taels! Two thousand taels of silver!"

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Room 10 and asked loudly, "Is there any higher room?"

The next moment, the waiter in the tenth private room turned around to look at the guests in the private room, and then shouted to the people downstairs: "Two thousand five hundred taels!"

Upon hearing the bid, there was another uproar downstairs.

Si He was not surprised. Her expression remained unchanged. She looked calmly at the exquisite pottery xun downstairs and drank tea thoughtfully.

After the auctioneer urged several times, no one raised the price, so the clay xun belonged to the guest in private room number 10.

The waiter carried the items down the platform and delivered them to the private room on the second floor, followed by the next item to be auctioned, an exquisitely designed evil-repelling sword.

This sword is very gorgeously crafted, with some runes engraved on the sword body. It looks to be of extraordinary use and valuable, especially the hilt which is inlaid with some beautiful gems, which are sparkling.

However, Si He took a look and then looked away, losing interest.

She picked up the auction list on the table and was about to look at the next few items when there was a knock on the door.

The steward Xue who had been there walked in and said, "Excuse me, Madam Yue. The guest in room 10 would like to see you. Is that possible?"

Si He raised her eyes to look at him, and saw him smiling again: "The guest said that he was lucky to have similar tastes to you, but he just took away someone else's favorite, so he also wanted to apologize to you."

Si He thought about it and did not refuse.

After Manager Xue left, he brought the guest who wanted to see him in a short while later.

The one who came was a young girl, about seventeen years old. Judging from her dress and style, she came from a good family. In addition to the guards following her and waiting at the door, she was also accompanied by several maids, two of whom had different auras and were obviously skilled.

Anyone who could come to this building to buy expensive things was certainly not an ordinary family. Si He was not surprised, but what was special was that the girl looked at him in a strange way.

The look was very complicated. At first glance, there was surprise, then understanding, and then there were more emotions that she could not understand.

Si He didn't say anything, just drank his tea calmly, looking at the strange girl.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Manager Xue was about to speak when the girl smiled and said, "I didn't expect the person bidding against me would be a lady. She's truly stunningly beautiful. I was stunned for a moment."

Si He's lips curled up slightly. This girl's words were not what she meant. She thought about it and felt like she had never seen her before. Why did this girl look at her as if...
