Zhao Xi raised his head and shouted again before stopping. In the end, as he had expected, the painting was won by the person in the third-floor private room.
The auction price was twelve thousand taels.
Zhao Xi smiled and turned to look at Meng Yunzheng. “The guest in the private room on the third floor must be someone who admires you. To be able to offer such a price, She truly loves you.”
He had estimated that this painting was not Ah Yun’s best painting. If it was placed on the market, five thousand taels would be a high price. Even in the black market, it would not exceed ten thousand taels.
This person did not hesitate at all when he called out the price. Let alone twelve thousand taels of silver, he estimated that if someone else bid, he would continue to raise the price.
Zhao Xi was a little interested and wanted to know who the other party was.
However, they were here on official business, so they should keep a low profile as much as possible.
Therefore, Zhao Xi still sat in the private room and waited for the next auction item to be carried onto the stage.
However, he did not stay in the room for too long. Perhaps he had drunk too much tea, but after a while, he was in a hurry to go to the toilet.
He said to Meng Yunzheng, “I’m going downstairs. I’ll be back soon.”
With that, he picked up the curtain hat at the side, put it on, and ran away.
Because the guests on the second and third floors were special, the black market usually prepared a curtain hat. If the customer wanted it, they would naturally give one to the person to bring in and out of the private room to better solve the privacy problem.
When Shu Yu went upstairs, firstly, the situation was urgent, and she only wanted to send Yuan Shanchuan to the room to rest as soon as possible.
Secondly, she had never thought of auctioning off any items, so it was not a problem to have a curtain hat.
However, there were Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi who wanted to bid for the item. Zhao Xi went out with a curtain hat. He didn’t delay much and came up after settling the matter.
However, when he stood at the staircase on the second floor, Zhao Xi could not help but look in the direction of the third floor.
He didn’t do anything else but try his luck and see if he had the chance to see who the person who bought the painting was. It shouldn’t be a problem to see who loved Ah Yun more.
Zhao Xi hesitated for a moment before he walked up to the third floor.
At the same time, Shu Yu, who was in the private room on the third floor, turned to Yuan Shanchuan and Daniu and said, “You guys stay here. I’ll go out and take a look.”
Daniu immediately became nervous. “Yu, what do you want to do?”
“Don’t worry, I know what this place is. I won’t mess around. I just wanted to see if there was a chance to meet the person who bought the painting.”
Yuan Shanchuan frowned and said, “The black market won’t let anyone know who the buyer is. The privacy of the customers is very important here.”
“l know. That’s why I’m just going out for a walk and looking for an opportunity.” She had never thought of making a move on the black market.
Shu Yu tidied up her clothes and went out.
The door of the private room closed again, leaving only them in the room. Yuan Shanchuan then asked, “Where did Yu grow up?”
“Ah?” Daniu was stunned. “Fourth Uncle, why are you asking this?”
“Nothing. 1 just feel that she’s not like a child raised by a farmer like us. She’s more like a young lady from a rich family… No, she was more like a Young Master who inherited the family business.”
Daniu thought about it and felt that Fourth Uncle’s description was quite appropriate. ‘Yu didn’t say much about what kind of life she had in the past, but she was indeed very opinionated. Ever since she came back, Second Uncle’s family had been living well. They even opened a shop in the county town..”
