Li Lin felt strange in his heart, he shouldn't know anyone in this auction house, look at these people are all in suits and leather shoes, and they don't match his usual circle of friends at all.

With doubts, Li Lin turned his head, but what he saw was an old man, Li Lin felt a little familiar, and he seemed to have seen it somewhere.

"Why? I don't recognize it?" the old man seemed a little upset.

Li Lin also felt a little embarrassed, the other party obviously knew him, and he was a little familiar with the other party, but he just couldn't think of it.

At this time, Li Lin noticed a silent middle-aged man standing next to the old man.

"Old man Ouyang!" Li Lin blurted out.

"Yes, remember me, I thought you had forgotten. The old man in front of him said.

Li Lin was a little embarrassed when he heard this, he didn't remember Old Man Ouyang, but he was deeply impressed by his bodyguard, because the other party gave him the feeling that he was elusive.

As for Old Man Ouyang himself, Li Lin didn't have much impression, at that time, his heart had been very excited because of antiques, and his heart was full of antiques. Even if he was chatting with each other over tea, Li Lin didn't deliberately remember the other party's appearance, and his mind was not on drinking tea, so he felt familiar and didn't think of the name.

"Didn't I give you a business card, why didn't you contact me later?" said Old Man Ouyang as he sat down, his place next to Li Lin.

"Hehe, I forgot about it later" Li Lin said a little embarrassed, at that time, the other party did ask his attendant to give him a business card, but unfortunately he didn't think about contacting the other party, and he didn't know where to get the business card.

"Xiao Li, are you here today to buy some antiques?" Ouyang Tian did not break it, but took the initiative to divert the topic.

"No, I'm here to join in the fun, but I'm not going to buy anything. Li Lin said.

"By the way, I saw you last time on Delong Street, which is also an antique street in Jinling, today, you are here again, why Xiao Li, you also like this business?" Ouyang Tian asked with some curiosity.

"I'm a little interested, but I'm not familiar with this business, I think Mr. Ouyang, you must be very good at antiques, I just want to ask you about this kind of thing." Li Lin slapped a small sycophant.

Ouyang Tian listened to Li Lin's words, his face turned pale, if others said this, he would not be so happy, but Li Lin didn't know his identity, so he said it, he was very useful, and he himself was indeed very fond of this antique collection, he thought that he also had some strength in this regard, Li Lin's words just said his itch.

"Xiao Li, you are asking the right person, let me tell you, when I identify antiques, I rarely catch the eye, just say once......" Li Lin's words aroused Ouyang Tian's interest in chatting, and it happened that Li Lin was also very curious about this aspect of things, and the two chatted warmly before the auction began.

And there are not a few people in the audience who chat like them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet. ”

Time passed slowly in the chat, and then a voice came from the booth ahead.

Li Lin realized that it was almost 9 o'clock, and the people around him slowly quieted down after this voice, even Ouyang Tian, everyone was sitting in a precarious position, waiting for the official start of the auction.

Li Lin looked around, and there were at least more than two hundred people sitting in the hall, at least two hundred people came to participate in this auction.

"Ladies and gentlemen, hello everyone, welcome to the autumn auction of Jiahua Auction House, I am Liu Bin, the host of this auction. ”

There was a burst of applause at the scene, and Li Lin also acted together.

This Liu Bin is the gold medal auctioneer of Jiahua Auction House, and he will preside over some important auctions in the past. At this time, Ouyang Tian's voice came from the side, obviously, he knew that Li Lin was not familiar with this person when he participated in the auction for the first time, so he introduced Li Lin.

Li Lin nodded.

"Now, I would like to announce the official opening of this auction, please put on the first lot. ”

With Liu Bin's announcement, the auction officially began, and a ceremonial lady in a cheongsam also brought a tray just after his words, but this tray was covered by a red cloth, and everyone didn't know what was inside.

After the tray was placed on the booth and the light was focused on it, Liu Bin slowly lifted the red cloth on it.

Only then did Li Lin find out that it was an inkstone, and at this time Liu Bin began to introduce the origin of this inkstone.

The owner of this inkstone is Liu Qing, the left servant of the Ming Dynasty, according to legend, this inkstone is the thing he used before the imperial examination, and then he wanted to enter Beijing to catch the examination, and he had no long things, and he had the support of a Qinglou celebrity, he left this thing as a token before entering Beijing to catch the examination, and after the appointment, he came to find her to repay the favor, but when he came to look for this woman again, he knew that she had passed away, and the inkstone was nowhere to be found. ”

Liu Bin slowly told the origin of this inkstone.

"Everyone, please see, the name of Liu Qing himself is also engraved under this inkstone. At this time, the light focused on the bottom of the inkstone, and behind him was a large screen, at this time, the big screen was clearly obvious, and there was indeed a number at the bottom of the inkstone.

"Okay, if you're interested or need verification, you can come up on stage and take a closer look. After Liu Bin finished speaking, he slowly stepped aside.

"Can this still be seen up?" Li Lin asked, and the object of the questioning was naturally Ouyang Tian.

"Of course, this is an antique auction, how to judge the authenticity of such a distance, so every item can be seen up close, if after seeing it, you think it is true, then if you look at it, you can't blame others. Ouyang Tian said as a matter of course.

And when Ouyang Tian explained, many people had already stepped forward to observe, and obviously these people were very interested in this inkstone.

"How about it? Would you like to go up and have a look? Ouyang Tian asked.

Li Lin was eager to see him, and obviously wanted to go up and have a look.

"I'm not going, I don't know much about it, it's not interesting to watch, and I'm not interested in it. Li Lin shook his head and refused Ouyang Tian's invitation.

"Okay, I'll go up and see for myself. With that, he left his seat and went to the stage.

Li Lin saw that there were already a lot of people around the booth in front of him, but these people were still in order, and they did not cut in line indiscriminately, but came one by one, Li Lin saw that many of them were slowly observing with magnifying glasses, and from time to time they talked with the people next to them, and the optimistic people returned to their seats and gave way to others.

The people on the stage returned to their seats one after another, and Ouyang Tian also came back. And at this time, the supporter just now came to the stage again to preside over the auction.
