Chapter 1760: Gaining Eyes
readx;?! --The content of the chapter begins--"Old man Li, I'll be honest, this thing is really nothing to me, but I can see that this thing can get into your eyes, you go to the market to buy it, you will definitely not be able to buy such a delicate and bloody red robe, if you really feel that you can't accept it, I take the liberty to make a request to you, can you see it?"
After repeated refusals, Huo Sining had no choice but to put forward his own ideas. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Old Man Li nodded: "You say." ”
"Each flower has its own eyes, as I just said, the dragon and tiger inkstone are very attractive to me, so I have to go to great lengths to figure out its origin. I'm not afraid of your jokes, in fact, I liked this unicorn Venus inkstone at first sight after seeing this piece of unicorn Venus inkstone in your house full of congratulatory gifts. ”
"I really hope that two pieces of ancient inkstone can be made into a pair, and if I know that there is such a good thing hidden in the old things of Mr. Earl's house, I think of how many ways I will grind this ancient inkstone from his hand. ”
"So, if you don't think it's abrupt, I want to buy this piece of Qilin Venus inkstone from you, and in terms of price, you can open it. ”
When Old Man Li heard Huo Sining's heartfelt words, he couldn't help but laugh on his face:
"You kid is really sincere, don't blame Mr. Earl and Mr. Windsor for your blue eyes, but your request is really abrupt, what price is not priced, is my old man Li so unkind and old-fashioned? Have you forgotten that I raised the lottery before? You compete with Li Hang, whoever wins, who can pick any item in my congratulatory gift?"
Although there is no formal referee to judge this competition, but from the confrontation between Huo Sining and Li Hang, even if the guests present no longer understand Chinese antiques, they can see clearly, this is an undisputed game, Li Hang was completely suppressed in this competition, and became Huo Sining's foil.
Huo Sining won the competition, so she could naturally choose an item she liked as a lottery among Old Man Li's congratulatory gifts, and there was no need to spend money to buy the unicorn Venus inkstone.
Old Man Li's attitude was to tell Huo Sining that he gave her this ancient inkstone.
Huo Sining's heart was suddenly overjoyed, but she still had to be reserved on her face, she said with a little hesitation: "How embarrassing is this, after all, this is a congratulatory gift from Mr. Earl, I just took it away, it's not good." ”
Hearing Huo Sining's words against his will, Adrien rolled his eyes a little disappreciatively:
"Misho, when you exchanged Picasso's paintings with me for Chinese antiques, it wasn't like this, you were like Grandet at that time, you couldn't wait to remove all the antiques in my basement, why was it polite to Old Man Li, this is not like you at all?"
Adrien was not polite at all, and directly pierced Huo Sining's disguise, and it could be seen that Adrien was still full of resentment about the batch of cultural relics that Huo Sining exchanged from his home, and felt that he had suffered a loss.
Huo Sining smiled on his face, and was not angry at all because of Adrian's words, but smiled:
"Mr. Earl, I'm arguing on the basis of reason, diplomatic negotiations, if you really don't want to, I don't think you would have signed our trade contract in the first place, right?"
Adrien choked, his face turned red, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word of rebuttal, so he could only close his mouth and hum, muttering words like "Grande, Scrooge" in his mouth, which made the Windsor father and son on the side laugh.
Steward Li's movements were very fast, more than half an hour later, Qibao followed Steward Li into the banquet hall, the little guy's eyes rolled, looking around in the banquet hall, and after a while, his eyes were fixed on Huo Sining's body, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he ran quickly towards Huo Sining's location with his little short legs.
"Sister!"
Qibao rushed up and hugged Huo Sining's thigh, then winked at Huo Sining, and sneakily stuffed the square brocade box in his arms into Huo Sining's hand:
"Sister, I brought you something, the housekeeper Li asked me for it, I didn't give it to him, I kept holding it, and I didn't show it to him at all. ”
Huo Sining saw Qibao's cautious appearance like a spy joint, and immediately burst out laughing, and couldn't help but reach out and scratch his nose, and said with a smile: "I know, thank you Qibao." ”
The reason why Huo Sining asked Qibao to bring the brocade box over in person was actually very simple, she said that she brought the ancient inkstone to the United States, but it was just a pretense.
Even if she really wants to go to Las Vegas, she can just take a few photos, and bring a heavy inkstone on the plane, isn't this a superfluous move?
In fact, the brocade box that Huo Sining asked Qibao to bring was not an ancient inkstone at all, but jewelry.
Because she was coming to the banquet, Huo Sining brought a set of jewelry, including the glass spring ribbon bracelet she wore on her wrist, as well as necklaces, earrings, rings, etc., there was a set, because she wanted to change into a dress and jewelry in front of Su Qingqing, so Huo Sining did not put it in the storage ring, but stuffed it in the suitcase, in order to eliminate Su Qingqing's suspicions.
However, because after she put on the dress and put on this set of jade jewelry, she found that it was too cumbersome to wear this whole set of jewelry, so she took off the necklace and earrings, leaving only one bracelet, and the rest was put back in the brocade box and stuffed back into the suitcase.
She didn't expect that there would be a branch at this birthday banquet, and Li Hang compared the treasure, and she didn't expect that in front of the old man Li's congratulatory gift, she came across the unicorn Venus inkstone, in order to confirm her point of view and let the guests present agree with her identification and analysis, she had to make an excuse, pretending that she came to the United States this time, and happened to bring the dragon and tiger inkstone.
That's why she called Qibao in advance and asked him not to fake the brocade box to others, because she was afraid that after the brocade box was handed over to Steward Li, the shrewd and cautious housekeeper would find out that her brocade box contained no inkstone at all, but a bunch of jade jewelry.
The box was successfully in hand, Huo Sining's hanging heart finally fell to the ground, and while everyone was not paying attention, she quietly opened the brocade box, and quickly swapped the positions of the jade jewelry inside and the Shenlong Shenhu inkstone in the storage ring.
