The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 336: Auction House

Shu Yu pulled Daniu back and said with narrowed eyes, “No need. We’ll just pretend we didn’t see it so that we won’t get involved.”

Moreover, looking at the flustered appearance of that person just now, it was obvious that he had been discovered and was hiding.

Daniu stopped. As expected, after a while, he saw two more people chasing after him. Judging from their clothes, they were the shop assistants of the black market.

Shu Yu took a look and said to Daniu, “Let’s go in.”

“Alright.” Daniu retracted his gaze and followed Shu Yu into the small building.

The small building was very lively. It was as if all the people who had just entered the black market were gathered here at this moment.

This small building was also very spacious. The hall in the middle was very large. There was a high platform in the middle of the front and there was a curtain behind the platform. It looked mysterious.

There were stairs on both sides of the lobby, and there were two floors above. The rooms upstairs were all private rooms built around the lobby, looking very secretive.

Shu Yu looked around and saw two people asking a waiter about the situation in this small building.

It was obvious that this was the first time these two people had come here. Shu Yu leaned over and listened together.

The shop assistant smiled and said, “This is the auction house. The auction will start in another ten minutes. The items that our black market can take out for auction are all very rare and precious. The first floor was the viewing area. They did not participate in the auction, but they could watch the show. If anyone was interested and wanted to participate in the auction, they could also go to the private rooms on the second and third floors. There was no need to expose their identity. As long as the price was right, they could get what they wanted. ”

“Of course, if you don’t mind exposing your identity, you can also sit in the hall downstairs and auction. To enter the private rooms on the second and third floors, one had to pay thirty taels (monetary) of silver in advance. Each private room would be equipped with a waiter to serve the distinguished guests in the room.”

Daniu widened his eyes. Thirty taels (monetary)? In other words, even if they went upstairs, regardless of whether they participated in the auction or not, they had to pay 30 taels (monetary) for the private room first.

This was too expensive.

Shu Yu also felt that it was expensive. Thirty taels (monetary)? She would go bankrupt after a few trips to the black market.

Two siblings looked at each other and decisively chose to watch the show in the lobby downstairs.

They weren’t here to trade anyway. The things here were nothing compared to the ones at the auction. Even the things in the hall that they passed by earlier, she was…She couldn’t afford any of them.

Just thinking about it made her heart ache.

Shu Yu wiped away her tears and walked around the hall again.

There was still some time before the auction started, so Shu Yu wanted to go upstairs and take a look.

Fortunately, no one would stop her from entering the private room.

She walked around the second floor, but there was nothing to see. Those who entered the private room had already gone in early. Other than the waiter, there was no one else in the corridor.

Presumably, the third floor was the same.

If she continued to stroll around, it would easily arouse the suspicion of the shop assistant.

Therefore, Shu Yu quickly walked downstairs as if nothing had happened. However, just as she walked downstairs, someone was about to go upstairs in a hurry. When she turned the corner, she could not avoid it and they bumped into each other.

Shu Yu quickly held onto the railing, or else she would fall and squat. That person also took two steps back. He frowned and wanted to say something, but he quickly kept quiet.

He lowered her head and said in a deep voice, “I’m sorry.”

Then, he walked past her and went straight upstairs.

Shu Yu was stunned on the spot. She turned her head in a daze and watched the person go upstairs..
