On this day, as usual, Hou Baoguo came to Yulaifang at nine o'clock, and the shopkeeper Liu and Qi Xiangyang were already waiting at the door.

Hou Baoguo opened the door, the three of them walked in, Xiao Liu and Qi Xiangyang walked towards the store together, intending to change into work clothes, but at this time, Hou Baoguo beckoned Qi Xiangyang, picked up a bag behind the counter and threw it towards Qi Xiangyang.

"Put it on, come with me to a celebration in a moment. ”

Qi Xiangyang was slightly stunned, and looked down at the bag in his hand, which contained a neat dress.

The dress is brand new, with clear angles, and at first glance it looks brand new and no one has worn it.

However, Qi Xiangyang was stunned for a while, and then immediately nodded to Hou Baoguo: "Okay." ”

In the days when he followed Hou Baoguo, Hou Baoguo often took Qi Xiangyang to various gatherings and celebrations, and met various people in the circle, and Qi Xiangyang had long been used to it.

However, it is the first time that a dress has been specially prepared for him, and it seems that the place he went to today is not ordinary.

As he spoke, Qi Xiangyang took the handbag and went to the inner room, and when he came out again, Qi Xiangyang had already changed into the new dress.

The black suit and dress were worn on Qi Xiangyang's body, which fit well, and pulled Qi Xiangyang's figure tall and tall. Hou Baoguo saw it, nodded with satisfaction, and then beckoned Xiao Liu to give a few words, and then led Qi Xiangyang out of the door.

Hou Baoguo led Qi Xiangyang for more than ten minutes, and came to the other end of Panjiayuan, in front of a store with festive red satin on its face but the door was closed. Hou Baoguo led Qi Xiangyang into the side door.

At this time, there were already a lot of customers in the store, and they were not the first to come.

And among these people, most of them are actually known to Qi Xiangyang, such as Tang Xinhua, a good friend with Hou Baoguo. Grandpa's friend, Uncle Jiao Guoan. There are also many friends and old people in the antique circle that Hou Baoguo brought him to know.

Well?

Qi Xiangyang was slightly stunned, he actually saw Teacher Wen Zhiming Wen in the crowd.

I saw a few antique collectors gathered around Wen Zhiming, talking and laughing.

After looking at the crowd, Qi Xiangyang's gaze swept around the store.

This is also an antique shop, the shop is very large, it should be three facades, and in terms of area alone, it is even a little larger than Yulaifang.

The decoration is not luxurious, but it is not downgrade, especially the mahogany tables and chairs in the lounge area, which are not available in Yulaifang. That set of chairs alone would cost at least a million.

But the most striking thing is the antiques on the containers.

Different from Yulaifang, although Yulaifang does all kinds of antiques, it is still mainly jade-based in general.

But this store is different, Qi Xiangyang clearly saw that the store is clearly divided into six areas, including calligraphy and painting, porcelain, ancient money, jade, inkstone ancient books, and toothware, which shows the wide range of business of this store.

This is also very rare in Panjiayuan.

After looking at it for a while, Hou Baoguo asked Qi Xiangyang to walk around here casually, and then walked towards a few old friends with a smile.

Leaving Qi Xiangyang alone, he looked around, although most people Qi Xiangyang knew each other more or less, but they didn't know each other, and finally, Qi Xiangyang thought about it and walked towards Tang Xinhua and Jiao Guoan.

Since they met at Qi Xiangyang's apprenticeship ceremony, the two have had a lot of contacts, and they actually have a good relationship now.

When I came behind the two, I saw that the two were looking at a piece of porcelain.

Listening to the footsteps behind them, the two glanced back and saw that it was Qi Xiangyang, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then without waiting for Qi Xiangyang to say hello, they directly pulled Qi Xiangyang to the porcelain.

"Xiangyang, test you, see how this porcelain is. Tang Xinhua said with a smile.

Qi Xiangyang smiled embarrassedly at Jiao Guoan, and then came to the display cabinet.

In the display case is a jar with a lotus leaf lid, about eleven or twelve centimeters high and eight or nine centimeters wide. The shape is quite chic, the body of the can is rounded, the lid is unique, and the lid is curved in the shape of a lotus leaf, giving people a sense of rhythm of flow.

The whole lotus leaf lid jar is bright in shape, bright in color, white and delicate in fetal quality, presenting a rare beauty.

Judging from the size of the lotus leaf lid jar, it should be used to hold items such as tea, no wonder it attracted Tang Xinhua's attention so much.

After looking at it for a while, Qi Xiangyang thought about it, and then said to Tang Xinhua with a slight tone of infirmation: "The lotus leaf lid jar of the Longquan kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty, the blue and white peony pattern, the real product." ”

Qi Xiangyang spoke with a slight hesitation, as if he didn't dare to be completely sure, but Tang Xinhua slapped Qi Xiangyang's shoulder violently and gave a thumbs up: "Okay, I am good at things, what I said is right." ”

With Tang Xinhua's affirmation, Qi Xiangyang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and smiled awkwardly.

But after saying that, Tang Xinhua patted Qi Xiangyang's hand on the shoulder, pulled Qi Xiangyang over, and said with a thief smile: "Xiangyang, you said that my old Tang usually treats you well." Your porcelain appraisal, although most of them were learned from your Senior Brother Zhang, but my old Tang also taught you some of them, barely half a master, this is true. ”

Qi Xiangyang nodded hurriedly: "That's right, that's right." ”

Hearing Qi Xiangyang's admission, Tang Xinhua laughed twice: "Okay, you can admit it." Then we also have a master-apprentice relationship. After that, if you open a store, and I, Mr. Tang, come to your store to buy something, you say, do you want to give a discount or something?"

Qi Xiangyang was stunned for a moment, then immediately stepped down his face and said with a wry smile: "Boss Tang said that he laughed, just like me, opening a store, I can't do it for another ten years." ”

"You don't care about it, you just say you shouldn't do it. Tang Xinhua stared at Qi Xiangyang "viciously".

Qi Xiangyang smiled bitterly, and finally had to nod: "Should, yes." ”

Tang Xinhua had a smile on his face again, let go of the hand holding Qi Xiangyang, and patted Qi Xiangyang's shoulder with a satisfied face.

As time went by, there seemed to be more and more guests, so Hou Baoguo beckoned Qi Xiangyang to help receive the guests.

Qi Xiangyang looked confused, but quickly came back to his senses and went to help serve tea and pour water.

However, Qi Xiangyang secretly guessed in his heart that it seemed that Boss Hou and the owner of this shop were very familiar, otherwise it would not be possible to handle these things like this, like a master.

I don't know who the boss is.

Seeing that Qi Xiangyang was dragged by Hou Baoguo to arrest Zhuang Ding, Tang Xinhua and Jiao Guoan continued to walk around the store.

The two walked through all the exhibition areas, looked at all the goods under the display case, and tasted them one by one.

After a long time, after basically looking at all the exhibits, Tang Xinhua swept his eyes, glanced at all the exhibits in the store, and couldn't help sighing: "At least 100 million." ”

Jiao Guoan next to him shook his head and silently said a number: "One point and five hundred million." ”

Tang Xinhua was stunned for a moment, but quickly nodded silently.

Compared with Tang Xinhua, who can only be regarded as a collector, Jiao Guoan is more involved in major auction houses and has a deeper understanding of the market situation of antiques.

The exhibits of the entire store, the estimate given by Jiao Guoan, even if it is less than 150 million, I am afraid it is not much different.

Thinking of this number, Tang Xinhua and Jiao Guoan couldn't help but fall silent.
