The third floor of the Sky Vessel Commerce Association, aside from hosting auctions, is mostly rented out on ordinary days, providing a venue and services.
Liang Qu and the others had their identities verified at the entrance and, led by the attendants, took their seats according to the prearranged seating order.
Today, the entire third floor looked completely different from what they had seen before.
Red-lacquered long tables were arranged on both sides, as neatly aligned as lines snapped by a carpenter, stretching farther than the eye could see.
A few young girls enclosed by folding screens were playing the guqin, while a light incense wafted through the air.
At the front, long tables were laid out side by side, holding two-zhang-long silk scrolls, preparing to paint and record the grandeur of the event.
