Shen Zhou imitated that this matter was over, Huo Sining planned to go back to the imperial capital, she planned to return to the imperial capital on the tenth day of the first month, Su Zhenhua had already helped her contact someone, as long as she went back and brought Qibao to get an account, and after Qibao's household registration procedures were completed, she could take Qibao to S University Affiliated Primary School to report on enrollment.

On the eighth day of the new year, Zhou Shitao suddenly called her and came to a notice, asking her to accompany her to a charity auction exchange meeting on the tenth day of the new year.

"Who hosted the charity auction exchange?" Huo Sining asked curiously.

Zhou Shitao said with a smile: "I'm afraid you really know this organizer, do you remember Xu Shilong, who went with you to participate in the recording of the "Folk Treasure Hunt" program?"

Huo Sining nodded: "Remember, this person is the general manager of the Imperial Capital Auction House, and he wanted to buy the seven jade dzi in my hand, but I didn't agree, he also went on the day the Treasure Pavilion opened, but I think he only likes jewelry antiques, and is not interested in other antiques, how could he think of holding an auction?"

Zhou Shitao explained with a smile: "The businessman is profitable, Xu Shilong has the title of an expert in the antique circle, of course he has connections and appeal, he is not interested in the exchange meeting, but wants to expand his influence, holding such an auction exchange meeting, not only to advertise the auction house, to establish a reputation as a philanthropist for himself, but also to expand his contacts, killing three birds with one stone, why not do it?"

Huo Sining heard this and thought about it carefully, it is indeed the case, an auction can bring so many benefits, it really has to be organized, and many people are willing to do it.

"The grade of this auction is not low, I will take you there, one is to let you increase your knowledge, and the other is to let you show your face more in this circle, after all, you are my closed disciple, go out in the future, it represents my face, now let everyone in the circle know you, I really want to encounter something in the future, even if I am not there, you can eat." ”

Zhou Shitao continued, "This auction, since it is called a charity auction exchange, then I estimate that the participants are basically from the antique circle of the imperial capital, there must be many people who bring things over, it is a rare learning opportunity, I see that you have a lot of things in your hands, and you will also bring something to communicate with others when the time comes." ”

Huo Sining was stunned: "Bring something over, do you want to donate it?"

Zhou Shitao was suddenly happy: "Of course not, what you bring yourself, who can force you to donate it?" This is the unfamous rule in the circle, with the word "exchange", this auction has the meaning of fighting treasures, so generally the participants will bring things over, a little bit of private communication, of course, if you want to change things, you can also go to the stage to participate in the auction, as long as you negotiate with the organizer, the auction proceeds are completely your own, but according to the rules, you need to pay a handling fee to the organizer. ”

Zhou Shitao's words made Huo Sining understand, but she was a little entangled, and she didn't know what it would be better for her to take.

Zhou Shitao wanted her to bring something over, obviously he wanted her to show her face at the auction, but if the thing was too valuable, it wouldn't work, it would be too showy.

Huo Sining does have a lot of good things in her hands, but there are few ordinary things, those things that she got back from the Oriental Museum are naturally inconvenient to take out at this time, the pigeon blood red and the starry sapphire, she is reluctant to take it out, the enamel and the Cizhou kiln pillow are still in the Forbidden City Museum, the water painting and Shen Wansan's white agate under the moon may hide secrets, Huo Sining is even more unlikely to take it out and communicate like this.

So, if you pick and choose like this, there are only four things left.

One is a pair of Tang Dynasty jade cups that she bought from Zhao Mingcheng's younger brother Zhao Yuliang, one is the golden rhinoceros Tianhuang stone carved paperweight that Lu Fangweng took out of the chessboard stone she bought from Hetian, the other is a version of Dalong stamps that she inadvertently exchanged for bartering in the ghost market of the imperial capital, and finally the seven-star Longyuan sword made by Ou Yezi, who had removed the rust, that she got back from the Oriental knife shop.

The Tang Dynasty Jade Cup and the Seven Star Dragon Yuan are too dazzling, such things, taken out, can be directly held as a separate auction piece, if it is really brought to this charity exchange auction, I am afraid that it will cover the limelight of the auctions prepared by Xu Shilong, which is too noisy, so these two things were also directly excluded by Huo Sining.

Dalong stamps are now placed in the treasure pavilion as one of the treasures of the town, and it is not suitable to take it out rashly, only the golden rhinoceros paperweight, because it is Lu Fangweng's private belongings, and it is carved from the Huangshi of Shangpintian, whether it is from the value of the object itself or the historical significance, it is quite interesting, and the value is not too expensive, not so eye-catching, so Huo Sining made a trade-off, and finally decided to take this paperweight to participate in the auction.

After picking the things, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, Huo Sining accompanied Zhou Shitao to the auction site.

Zhou Shitao would still take Ji Kun to attend in the early years, but he rarely attended such an occasion in recent years, even if the organizer came to invite him in person, he would directly refuse, there was nothing to talk about, but now that he has accepted Huo Sining, a closed disciple, he naturally has to consider this little apprentice, so this time after Xu Shilong sent out the invitation, he only thought about it for a while and agreed.

This made Xu Shilong very surprised, because it was completely routine for him to invite Zhou Shitao to participate in the auction, Zhou Shitao is the Taishan Beidou in the industry, if he didn't invite, it would be a loss of courtesy, and it would be bad to make a fuss about it, so he called and asked, but he knew Zhou Shitao's temper, so he didn't have much hope at all.

As a result, as soon as the phone call was made, Xu Shilong was a little stunned when he heard Zhou Shitao say yes, feeling that happiness came too quickly, and he was not mentally prepared at all.

However, Zhou Shitao is coming, of course Xu Shilong is too late to welcome, he spread the news that Zhou Shitao is coming to participate in the auction, and there were several old-timers in the antique circle who clearly said that they would not participate in the auction suddenly had time, and they all said that they could come to participate in this auction exchange meeting.

Not only that, even some business bigwigs who are not in the antique circle came to Xu Shilong to ask, and after getting the exact news, these people put down their shelves and asked Xu Shilong to send them an invitation letter to face one by one. (To be continued.) )
