The auction is located in a garden-style five-star resort hotel in the northern suburbs of the imperial capital, which is said to be a hotel, but it is actually a small private park. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that it's winter, and the park that was supposed to be full of greenery and flowers is also a bit depressed.

However, the delicacy of the small artificial lake is not bad, the lake water is clear, there are a few unknown water birds on the lake, there are several pavilions and pavilions on the shore, and there is a corridor all the way up to the end, strolling in this corridor, looking at the scenery of the lake, it really makes people feel a lot more soothing.

Walking up along the corridor, Huo Sining helped Zhou Shitao, an old man and a young man, to the door of a big hotel, a huge revolving door stood in front of him, and there were two security guards standing on both sides of the door, responsible for greeting guests, but every guest who entered needed to check the invitation.

Huo Sining was about to hand over the invitation, when suddenly a hearty laugh came from behind him: "Lao Zhou, you're here too!" ”

Huo Sining turned around and met a few people, who were the experts who Huo Sining had originally participated in the recording of the "Folk Treasure Hunt" program, Zhuang Xiangyang and Professor Shi Qingyun of Shuimu University.

Several experts also brought companions, all of whom were their own students or apprentices, and Huo Sining didn't know other students, but the girl brought by Shi Qingyun, Huo Sining was very familiar with her, and that girl was Li Xuanbing, who had worked with Huo Sining in the Taicheng Ancient Tomb before.

Huo Sining had some small friction with Li Xuanbing when he was in the Taicheng Tomb, but then the two shook hands and made peace, laughing and enmity, so after separating from the Taicheng Tomb, Li Xuanbing also took the initiative to contact Huo Sining, although it was not frequent, but it was also familiar.

Seeing Huo Sining, Li Xuanbing was also a little surprised, but soon a smile appeared on her face, she walked a few steps to meet her, grabbed Huo Sining's hand and asked with a smile:

"Huo Sining, you're here too, great, I was still there and told Professor Shi that I didn't have any acquaintances this time, but I didn't expect to meet you." Speaking of which, you performed magic tricks at the Spring Festival Gala this time, and I realized that you are still a master of magic, and that mermaid princess gift is really wonderful! I told my classmates that I knew you, and they all asked me to ask you for an autograph!"

Huo Sining suddenly felt embarrassed: "I'm not a star in the entertainment industry, why would they ask me for an autograph?"

Zhuang Xiangyang next to Huo Sining's words also heard it, and immediately couldn't help but interject and retorted: "You can't say that, Huo girl, your current fame is no worse than those stars in the entertainment industry, just my little grandson is still talking about change and change every day, saying that the magic lady of the Spring Festival Gala is magical!"

Zhuang Xiangyang's words, Shi Qingyun and several other experts couldn't help but be happy when they heard it, Huo Sining's face couldn't help but turn red, and said modestly: "You have won the award, I am just a little trick to fool people, it is nothing." ”

A few people were chatting, and a middle-aged man in a tall suit and leather shoes with smooth and smooth hair walked out from outside the glass revolving door, and said with a smile as he walked out:

"Old Zhou, Professor Zhuang, Professor Shi, a few of you came here together, haha, I was so busy arranging the things inside, I didn't take care of you, it's really a disappointment. ”

"Boss Xu, what are you talking about, we don't know how to be polite, what do you want to welcome, just go in by yourself." "Although Zhou Shitao has a strange temper, he still gives Xu Shilong face on this occasion.

Xu Shilong listened to Zhou Shitao's words, the smile on his face became even bigger, and he said a few more greetings, and then led the people standing at the door inside.

Huo Sining took Zhou Shitao's arm and entered the auction hall, at this time, there were already many people in the hall, and they were chatting with people they were interested in.

When they saw that among the people who walked in, the person standing at the head was actually Zhou Shitao, many people's eyes suddenly lit up, and the people who reacted quickly took the lead in coming over here, and they all came up to greet Zhou Shitao, and soon Zhou Shitao became the focus of the venue.

Zhou Shitao was impatient to deal with these, his brows couldn't help frowning, Xu Shilong next to him was the most good at looking at people's eyes, and seeing that Zhou Shitao had an unhappy look on his face, he immediately walked up to play a round:

"Zhou Lao is bringing his disciples over to communicate this time, don't worry, wait for the auction to start in a while, it's not too late to communicate, now let Zhou Lao go in and find a place to sit and rest for a while!"

As he spoke, Xu Shilong gently pushed away those who had gathered around and wanted to talk to Zhou Shitao, and led Zhou Shitao inside.

Although those people were unwilling, they also knew that it was not polite to surround here, so they all let go one by one, but some people reacted quickly and soon heard a message that Zhou Shitao was bringing his apprentice over this time.

Zhou Shitao has a lot of apprentices, but the first few disciples have already left the school, and they rarely attend with Zhou Shitao anymore, and the people Zhou Shitao usually brings are Ji Kun, so everyone is also very familiar with Ji Kun.

But this time it was different, everyone looked around in the crowd, but they couldn't find Ji Kun's figure, but at Zhou Shitao's arm, a little girl about twenty years old was holding him closely, and followed Zhou Shitao step by step.

The onlookers were a little surprised, and some of them didn't know what to do, so they couldn't help but whisper.

"Didn't you say that Zhou Lao came here with his apprentice, why did he bring not Ji Kun, but a little girl with a face?"

"Don't you know? A year ago, Zhou Lao accepted another apprentice, or he was accepted as a closed disciple, and that closed disciple was the little girl in front of you. ”

"Hey—are you kidding? This little girl looks like she's only about twenty years old, isn't she still in college? How could Old Man Zhou accept such an unknown student as an apprentice?"

"I don't know, but I've seen the treasure appreciation program recorded by this little girl on Imperial Capital TV, and from the TV, this girl is very honest when she identifies things, and the things she says are one after another, which sounds like that. ”

"You said that it was a recording, maybe you got the line book in advance, and read it according to it, this kind of show can't be taken seriously, whether you have real skills, you still have to take out something to watch. ”

“……”

The crowd was talking, and everyone knew the identity of the little girl holding Zhou Shitao's arm, and the eyes that looked at Huo Sining became different, either jealous or envious or unwilling or disdainful, everyone's eyes were inquiring, like a searchlight on Huo Sining's body.
