After making phone porridge for a while, Zheng Zheng simply cleaned up, saw that the time was still early, and left the hotel, found a place to eat something casually, and by the way, he learned a lot of things he wanted to know from the talkative boss, Zheng Zheng took a taxi and went straight to the south of Hecheng.

According to the boss, the southern part of River City is the place where there are the most antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Zheng Zheng pondered that the information he wanted to know about the River City auction should be able to be heard here.

When he arrived in Nancheng District, after wandering around for nearly an hour, Zheng Zheng squatted on the road with a sad face and smoked, his face was bitter and hateful, and he was uncomfortable in his heart: "Oops...... What kind of play is this singing? I'm enjoying the treatment of a devil entering the village, right?"

It's no wonder that Zheng Zheng thinks so. The news I heard from the boss before was not bad at all, and there are really a lot of antique shops in Nancheng District. Zheng Zheng was thinking about talking to those people in the antique shop to see if he could know something about the River City auction. Although this auction is by invitation, it doesn't mean that even the local shops in River City don't know about it, right?

Facts have proved that Zheng Zheng is right, these antique shops know about the River City antique auction. But their reaction was completely different from what Zheng Zheng thought, and they could talk about anything else, once Zheng Zheng inquired about the auction in River City, the people in the antique shop immediately drooped their faces, and their faces were pulled, and their chins could almost hit the instep of their feet, revealing a sense of disdain.

Often, they had a good conversation before, but once Zheng Zheng talked about things related to the Hecheng auction, those people in the antique shop didn't say a word, and their attitudes immediately changed, and they almost kicked Zheng Zheng out with a broom.

It's okay to say that there are two families, but Zheng Zheng has been wandering around for an hour, and there are more than a dozen antique shops, but all of them are treated like this.

Zheng Zheng touched his face with a sad face: "Tsk...... Grandma's, if you don't look handsome, you have to be discriminated against like this, right? When did the antique store start to play with the appearance association? There is really no human nature at all......

While laughing at himself, Zheng Zheng took a hard puff of his cigarette and extinguished the cigarette butt on the ground.

Before he could let go of the cigarette butt in his hand, an old lady with a red armband, a broom in one hand and a dustpan in the other walked quickly. The old lady looked at Zheng Zheng's hand, nodded, and said, "Throw cigarette butts everywhere and be fined fifty." ”

“……”

Less than two hours after Zheng Zheng arrived in River City, he felt that he felt the city's deep malice towards outsiders......

After paying the fine, Zheng Tu turtle was still squatting on the side of the road, dialed a phone call, and said weakly: "Hey......"

"Ah...... Huh?" was obviously stunned on the other side of the phone, and after a few seconds, Zheng Yonghe on the other side of the phone spoke: "It's you...... Fuck. I thought it was who, this half-dead little tone, tsk...... Tell me what's wrong with you? Uncle, there is a good remedy for the kidneys, and I guess it's very good for your symptoms. ”

"Less...... I just felt the deep malice that River City felt towards me. Zheng Zheng said in an extremely weak tone.

Zheng Yonghe was surprised: "River City, are you in River City now?"

"Ah, yes. ”

Zheng Zheng responded, coughed lightly twice, and said, "Okay, don't talk nonsense." I'm calling to ask you, do you know anything about the River City Antiques Auction?"

Zheng Zheng also had no one to ask, so he could only call Zheng Yonghe, who basically rarely stayed at the Zheng family but was running around the world, to see if he knew anything about the auction in River City.

Zheng Yonghe didn't disappoint him: "I.fuck, you even know this?"

"That's right, otherwise you think I'm Mao in River City now?"

"Well......" Zheng Yonghe answered on the phone, was silent for a while, but said something that Zheng Zheng couldn't understand at all: "It seems that your old man has told you a lot, and even told you this." ”

Zheng Zheng couldn't figure it out, how could this good guy have something to do with the old man? He hurriedly asked, "No, you wait first...... Why did the old man tell me a lot? I'm talking about the River City auction, what does it have to do with my old man?"

“……”

Zheng Yonghe was silent on the phone for a while and asked, "No...... Where did you find out about the River City auction?"

Zheng Zheng replied honestly: "I listened to others on the plane. Looks like you know a lot, huh?

"Well......" Zheng Yonghe didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "Did you hear this on the plane, and you inquired about the auction in the antique store in River City, and the people in the antique store still didn't give you a good face?"

Zheng Zheng, who asked these words, was furious, he subconsciously glanced around, and said in surprise: "I.fuck, you can't let your people follow me directly to River City, right? Or is there your person in River City, and I was discovered as soon as I showed up?"

"What do you think, no. Zheng Yonghe smiled and said, "It's normal for you to run to ask people in antique shops about this without more news." And if the antique store doesn't tell you half a word, that's the inevitable result, nothing surprising. But I wondered...... You shouldn't have reported the Zheng family's name, right?"

"The name of the Zheng family?" Zheng Zheng was stunned: "What are you talking about: 'Stepping on the three mountains and five mountains, hating the sky and hating the earth, and unifying the antique industry in the western capital and surrounding cities and counties, the real antique family Zheng Zheng, the son of the Zheng family'? ”

"Isn't that quite smooth?" Zheng Yonghe was amused.

Zheng Yonghe, who has been taking the route without knowing it, accused Zheng Yonghe in a stern manner: "Can you die if you don't talk nonsense? Ah? Can you die? What about getting down to business? You just say, how does this matter have anything to do with the Zheng family?"

Zheng Yonghe was silent for a while, then took a deep breath and said, "This has to start from the beginning......

"Is there a simple version?" Zheng Zheng interjected.

“…… To put it simply, there are four families that are related to the River City Auction, and our Zheng family happens to be one of them, and you report the name of the Zheng family to the people in the antique shop in River City, so that you will definitely be allowed to enter the auction. ”

The amount of information in this is too large, Zheng Zheng couldn't figure it out for a while, and the more he pondered, the more confused he became: "Four families? What family? Also, how did the Zheng family get involved with the Hecheng auction? Can you make it clear?"

Zheng Yonghe hesitated for a moment and said, "Hmm...... It's okay to tell you, but it's not a particularly sensitive thing anyway. There are many real antique families who have been doing such an industry for generations, but many antique families just treat this as a business, and there is nothing worth saying. And among these antique families, our Zheng family and the other three families are called the four families because they have special means in the antique shop. ”

"You know the skills of our Zheng family, that is, they are very good at restoring antiques. The remaining three have special skills in olding, copying and dating respectively, so they are called the four masters of antiques together with the Zheng family. But this is just a statement, it does not mean that these four masters are the leaders of the domestic antique industry, but because they have the ability to surpass others, others are relatively more respected. ”

"That is, an honorary four-family, in fact, there are also secretly more energetic than these four masters?" Zheng Zheng continued.

Zheng Yonghe said: "You still summed it up very well...... That's pretty much the case. Although the other three sound nothing special, but it is really very powerful, the one that specializes in the ability to do the old, even if it is holding the antique that has just been made, after a clean up, the antique can be made after a thousand years of feeling, the ancient meaning can not see any flaws at all; 。 ”

"The one that is good at determining the year, has a unique way of identifying the year of the antique, we generally identify at least 50 years as the standard, but as long as this family is in contact with the antique, you can determine how many years the antique is, the specific number can be accurate to the year unit, we identify an antique may say that it is a vague number of more than 100 years or so, but the family identifies the same antique, can say the fraction of the year. It would be a mistake to say that the specific age of the antiques could not be proven, and to say that they were fooling. Because if you take a modern handicraft and ask them to appraise it, they can tell what year it left the factory, which is by no means foolish. ”

Zheng Zheng pondered for a while and asked: "Then the relationship between this family with a fixed year and the two families that are old and copied should not be very good? But when they meet the people of the Dingnian family, they will know the year of this thing at a glance, so won't they be busy in vain?"

Zheng Yonghe smiled and said, "It's not as powerful as you think...... It's the same four families, although there are some conflicts in what they are good at, but there is no contradiction on the surface. If you know the details of an antique, the people of the Dingnian family will not deliberately dismantle the two tables, but if you don't know the details, it is two words. So although the three of them have a bit of a conflict in positioning, they don't make trouble with each other, and they get along peacefully. As for our Zheng family, there are not so many things, and there is no conflict of interest with anyone in repairing antiques, so the relationship with these three families is quite good. ”

"As for the relationship between these four families and the River City Auction, let's put it this way...... We are also one of the four major families, this kind of auction established with the talent of antique dealers, do you think this is possible without giving us some face?"
