Chapter XXVII
After I made it clear that I didn't want to move back to live for the time being, Liu Daqiang took out a bank card and pushed it in front of me and said: "There are 200,000 in it, the password is today's date, I don't mean anything else, I just want to apologize for everything I did to you between me and me, and I hope you can accept it." ”
Thinking about it, I can still accept this money, I almost took my life in order to save Liu Xiaoyou, and saved them a million, only taking this 200,000 is not too much, so I picked up the card and said: "If that's the case, then I'm welcome, if there's nothing to do, I'll leave first!"
Liu Daqiang took out a bunch of keys and said: "This is the key to my family's original old house, you don't want to go back here, just choose to move in, the common furniture and appliances in the house are complete, if you lack anything, you call me or your mother, I will send it to you." ”
This is a good thing, I can have my own room, and it will be more convenient to practice in the future, but I am really a little reluctant to leave Sister Hong, but I still took the key, and my mother said at this time: "Xiaoshuo, don't be in a hurry to leave, you haven't eaten yet!"
I said that I had made an appointment with my classmates and had things to do, so I quickly told Liu Daqiang's house.
As soon as Zhou Wei saw Senior Brother, I said the doubts in my heart, Senior Brother patted me on the shoulder and said: "Little Senior Brother, you have a heavy burden in the future, and it is also very tricky to deal with people, there are some things that you know now, and it is not good, and when it comes to a certain time, I will naturally tell you, about your father's death, this has to be investigated slowly by yourself, anyway, you are still young now, it is better to practice kung fu first, and then the capital of revenge." ”
Senior Brother is right, if I can't protect myself, what kind of revenge can I talk about, even if I know who killed my father now, I may not be able to take revenge, thinking of this, I said: "Senior brother, I will practice with peace of mind, but when I have the ability, you must help find out who killed my father." ”
After separating from the senior brother, I went to the antique city again, wandering around aimlessly, but I saw He Lao and an old man of his age walking towards him, I quickly stepped forward and said, "He Lao is good." ”
When He Lao saw that it was me, he smiled and said, "Isn't this Xiao Zhang Shuo?
I shook my head and said that I didn't find anything, and the old man next to He Lao asked curiously, "Who is this little friend!"
He Lao introduced us to each other, I only then knew that this old man's name is Rong Tianhua, I seem to have heard this name there, but I can't remember it for a while, and I didn't care, He Lao told me about the last time I gambled on stones, Rong Lao was also envious, and said again and again: "It's really a hero out of a young man, I have played gambling stones all my life, and I haven't had such good luck as him." He glanced at me and said, "There will be an auction in a while, do you want to go and see it together?" ”
He Lao also said: "If it's okay, let's go for a walk with the two old guys who accompany us." ”
I thought it would be nothing anyway, so I agreed.
The auction is in the city, He Lao has a full-time driver driving a Mercedes-Benz high-end car, the car is fast and steady, more than two hours away, I actually didn't feel a trace of bumps, soon the car stopped in front of a building, I looked up, only like this building has about forty floors, which is not seen in our county at all, there are four big characters on it, there is a sign next to the Splendid Building that says Rongsheng Auction House in Qingzhou City, China.
I followed He Lao, Rong Lao, from the VIP entrance into the auction hall, at this time many people in the hall are chatting three, three, two, two, two, stop in front of the display cabinet of various collections, from time to time someone came to talk to He Lao, Rong Lao, I said hello to He Lao, seeing that I was not good-looking, dressed very ordinary, will look at me curiously, which makes me feel very awkward, and He Lao said hello and walked away alone.
Most of the lots on display are calligraphy and paintings of celebrities and some porcelain from the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and the prices seem to me to be sky-high, and none of them are something I can buy.
Turning around, I walked to the front of the display case, which was a very thin book, and the book cover was written with the Song version of the four books and chapters, this book was recorded in the "Du Gong Xiang Law" is the work of the Song Dynasty sage Zhu Zhuxi, I was about to walk, the compass in my arms suddenly trembled, and the difference is that this time the tremor is much faster than each time, and it is much stronger.
Before returning to the showcase, I took a look at the starting price of the auction, and it was only 80,000 yuan, which I could still afford, and suddenly someone slapped me the back and shouted: "Child, how did you get in, do you have an invitation?"
I looked back and saw that there were two people who looked like security guards, I shook my head and said, "I don't have an invitation, I came in through the VIP entrance, and I am still with him and Rong Lao?"
The security guard said disdainfully: "He Lao, He Lao is a friend of our boss, how can he be with a little hairy child like you, you get me out!"
A man in his thirties, wearing a straight suit, looked at me and said, "Today's children may really be able to lie, and they actually say that they came in with Rong Lao, what is Rong Lao's identity, if you look at you again, you will see that you are a stinky peasant who has never entered the city." ”
"What's wrong with the peasant, what's in your way, count up three generations, your grandfather is also a peasant. I scolded unceremoniously.
"It's against you, a little rabbit. "The man was so angry that he wanted to come and beat me.
At this time, a somewhat old voice said: "Who is scolding the peasants, I am also from a peasant background, is it wrong to be one level lower than whom?"
When the security guard saw that it was Rong Lao, his face immediately bloomed, and he nodded and said, "Hello chairman, this kid doesn't have an invitation, and he is still risking your friend, so we will kick him out." ”
Rong Lao said coldly: "He didn't rush out, he is my friend, what's wrong, can't I be a younger farmer friend?"
The man's face immediately swelled red, and he couldn't wait to find a crack to penetrate it, He Lao also said at this time: "This little friend is also my friend, I specially invited him today, can you give me a face!"
The onlookers guessed in their hearts that this kid must have some big deal, otherwise He Lao, who has always been conceited, and Rong Tianhua, the chairman of the Rong family collective, on the rich side, how could they come forward to speak for him in person, and there was a lot of discussion for a while, and one of them Gu Zuoming whispered: "This child may be the grandson of Rong Lao." The other said: "It's unlikely, I've seen Rong Lao's grandson, I think it may be a province, no, it should be the child of the leader above." "Anyway, it's all about it.
I didn't explain much, this time I was also obedient, only with He Lao and Rong Lao, listen to them tell some antique stories, and also grew a lot of knowledge, and the auction began after a while, first auctioned a landscape painting of the Ming Dynasty, the audience bided, and finally was auctioned by a very charming woman, listening to the people at the same table This woman is the boss of a pharmaceutical company in the city, and soon auctioned a few pieces of porcelain from the Qing Dynasty.
In addition to He Lao and Rong Lao, there is also a man surnamed Lu who is about 50 years old, and he also took an old jade ornament of the Qing Dynasty for more than 500,000 yuan, and I heard that it is also from the hands of a famous artist.
The host opened his mother to auction the last collection, which was the Song version of "Four Books and Chapters", at this time, some people had already withdrawn, and the rest were not too many, everyone seemed to have little interest in this collection, only I raised my hand and increased the price once, and everyone else looked here, but none of them bid again, He Lao said with a smile: "Xiaoyou, the vision is indeed unique." ”
I just smiled and didn't answer, and soon the host shouted three times that no one was bidding again, He Lao approached me and said, "Do you have any money with you?" Later, I learned that others who participate in the auction will pay part of the money to the auction organizer's account in advance, so that they are qualified to bid, and I am playing with He Lao this time, in fact, I am not qualified to bid.
The host saw that I was at the same table with Rong Lao and He Lao, so he didn't ask much, but fortunately, I had the 200,000 bank card that Liu Daqiang gave me, and said, "He Lao, I should have enough money on me." ”
The auction house was supposed to charge 10% of the handling fee, Rong Lao waved his hand to waive this part of the money, I only spent 85,000 yuan on this set of books, and there were still 115,000 left in the card, I spent this money a little distressed, mainly I don't know how much this set of books is worth.
After completing the formalities, I went to the bathroom in a little anxious, but I heard a man next door on the phone, he was talking about the auction just now, only to hear him say: "The Song version of the "Four Books and Chapters" was auctioned away by a child brought by Rong Lao, how could it be so low? No one bid, you think about the bidding of the people brought by Rong Lao, what is the difference between that and Rong Lao's own bidding, who will fight with him, and He Lao is also there, offending these two masters, do you want to mix in the circle in the future." ”
At this time, I understood the reason why no one bid, it turned out that they all thought that I had a special relationship with Old Man Rong, so no one dared to bid, but let me take advantage.
Back to He Lao, I told him what I had just heard, and said that this time I didn't understand the rules, and if there was anything inappropriate, I could return the book, or add money, but I only had 200,000 in total.
After hearing this, He Lao smiled and said: "Today is your luck, no matter what, the book has been taken away, there is no need to return, let alone add money or something, this is the rule of our industry." ”
"How much is my book worth?" I asked curiously.
