Ma Li led Lu Fanlai's antique shop to cover a wide area, with three courtyards in the front, middle and back, with the front opening door to do business, and the back rockery pavilion.

If Lu Fan is not mistaken, this is a prime location in Chunjiang City, and it is worth hundreds of millions of yuan to buy a courtyard house, and this house is roughly estimated, at least about Wu billion.

To be able to open such a store, the strength of the owner is needless to say. Ma Li gave him a demonstrative look, as if to say: What's the matter, the Huo family is not simple.

There are three or five very ordinary cars parked in front of the antique shop, and they don't look lively, so there is no crowded auction atmosphere. Lu Fan looked up and saw the word 'Jiangu Zhai' hanging on the door, the handwriting was vigorous and powerful, and the sign was made of ebony for hundreds of years.

Lu Fan smiled and motioned for Ma Li to go in with him, and as soon as he walked in the gate, he was stopped by two black suits, and they said respectfully: "Sir, today is the ninetieth birthday of the old lady of our store, so it is not open, if you want to go in, please show the invitation." ”

Lu Fan thought to himself, what is the ninetieth birthday, it is simply to engage in illegal and discipline-breaking activities in it, so he glanced at Ma Li. Ma Li didn't know how to get two invitations, so she handed them over: "We are friends of Young Master Huo Sun." ”

"Okay, please come in. ”

Walking into the ancient mansion with three entrances and three exits, Lu Fan felt more and more that the Huo family was indeed very rich, this mansion completely maintained the architectural style of the Ming Dynasty, and there was not the slightest change, even the bricks and tiles were looking for Ming Dynasty buildings to repair completely. I don't know how much it will cost.

In the antique shop that entered the courtyard for the first time, there were a lot of precious cultural relics, but there were also many fakes, which could not escape Lu Fan's eyes. But on the whole, compared to the small shops on the ancient culture street, the momentum is much more magnificent, like the analogy between the palace and the chicken coop.

A waitress in a cheongsam led the two of them through the front two courtyards, and went directly to the back row of houses, and then told them that they had arrived at the place where the old lady had made her birthday, and that it was inconvenient for her to go forward, so she asked them to go in by themselves.

When he entered a large room in the middle, Lu Fan saw more than 20 men sitting inside, many of whom were young and only a few middle-aged people. This made Lu Fan feel very strange, not to mention the black market antique auction, even if it was really for the old man's ninetieth birthday, he couldn't just invite male guests. And they're all teenagers in their early twenties, what the hell is going on.

Buying antiques depends on gender and age, it's strange.

When he turned his head to look at Ma Li, Ma Li shook her head at him gently, as if she didn't understand what was going on.

"It can't be that the male guests and the female guests are separated, right?" Ma Li suddenly whispered to Lu Fan.

Lu Fan touched his nose and said with a wicked smile: "You should be an underwear auction, it is also divided into men and women, is there a male and female antiques, is it possible to sell two sets of covers with them?"

"Boring. ”

At this time, another girl wearing a cheongsam came over and arranged for them to sit down, and they sat side by side. This completely overturned Ma Li's speculation.

The seats are arranged horizontally, there are four rows, each row has six seats, and there is a small coffee table in the middle of every two seats, with a sign asking for a price on it.

"Hey, is there any treasure behind that screen?" he asked Ma Li quietly. Ma Li naturally shook her head: "It's also my first time here." ”

It is a black lacquer screen painted on four sides with four beauties, which looks like the work of Tang Bohu in the Ming Dynasty, and there is a pair of poems next to each beauty, and the iron painting silver hook should be Wen Zhengming's handwriting. So just this screen is already a rare treasure, not to mention what is hidden behind it.

For a moment, the hidden treasure seemed to have whetted everyone's appetite, and the quiet pin drop could be heard in the room.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since everyone has arrived, then the auction will start now, this time the store will show you a total of three priceless treasures, the old rule, those who can know this treasure will not take a penny, and those who do not know this treasure will not sell it for a long time!" said the girl in a cheongsam standing in front of the screen with a smile.

Everyone who came here seemed to know this rule, so no one raised any objections, and Lu Fan and Ma Li were even more afraid to speak out for fear of revealing their identities.

"Remove the screen!" the cheongsam woman sang loudly, and two other beauties immediately walked up from the audience, putting away the screen one after the other.

"Oh my God!" Lu Fan lowered his head and played with his mobile phone, and suddenly heard an exclamation from the audience, raised his head suddenly, and was stunned.

I saw that behind the screen, it turned out to be a beautiful and beautiful beauty!

This beauty looks like she is about twenty years old, wearing a costume dress, her hair is pulled up high, her hair is beaded, her steps are swaying horizontally, her eyes are rippling, full of spirituality, her pointed face, her skin is whiter than snow, her beautiful eyes are looking forward to it, and her expression is incomprehensible. Shining and shining, adorned with pearls, the mountains are undulating.

Lu Fan almost thought he had seen one of Qin Huai's eight yans.

Especially at this time, the girl was lying on a long chaise longuese, with a comfortable posture, one hand supporting her chin, and her body was only covered with a thin layer of white veil, and her snow-white ankles were exposed from under the tulle, forming a mesmerizing beauty lying horizontally.

"This is the eldest lady of the Huo family!" At this time, someone suddenly shouted.

The audience was shocked, and someone shouted: "Yes, Huo Shuiling, Huo Shuiling, Miss Shuiling, the contemporary head of the Huo family." ”

Lu Fan glared at Ma Li: "The head of the Huo family?" Ma Li shrugged her shoulders: "I didn't say that the head of the Huo family is Huo Jingming, and you didn't ask me, what kind of eyes are you staring at, are you very discriminatory against women? Don't you want to know, what kind of fame they are doing underneath?"

"Okay. Lu Fan gritted her teeth in anger, she actually beat her back, obviously because she didn't do a good job in intelligence work.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now you know why all the buyers we invited this time are young talents, because today is the day when the head of our family chooses a son-in-law. Ladies and gentlemen, the first treasure that I would like you to identify today is also the most valuable treasure of our Huo family - Huo Shuiling. ”

"This is good, will it not be too respectful to the eldest miss, and I heard that the eldest lady is in her early Chinese New Year's Eve this year, how can she look at most eighteen or nineteen years old." At this time, a middle-aged man with a decent appearance stood up and said questioningly.

"Boss Zhao, there's nothing wrong with this, our head of the family is the first treasure in the world, so it's okay to show it. However, since ancient times, treasures can only be relied on by the virtuous, whether they can enter the eyes of our eldest lady depends on the respective abilities of each talent. ”

"What about the eldest lady?" asked Boss Zhao scratching his ears and cheeks.

At this time, the eldest lady Huo Shuixian suddenly sneered, the flowers and branches trembled, and her voice was like a yellow warbler out of the valley, light and crisp: "Everyone, the little girl's favorite thing in her life is the young talent, and today she openly chooses a son-in-law, and she is afraid that it is not better than those who compete in martial arts to recruit relatives and poetry and literature. I am not afraid of a daughter's family, so what are you afraid of?"

At this time, a little fresh meat sitting in front of Lu Fan suddenly whispered to his companion: "This woman looks pure and cute, but she is a famous sweeper in Chunjiang City, so I don't want it." ”

"I can't say that, although she has countless guests in the scene, but that was before she got married, and this woman is indeed gorgeous, born a stunner, and she will not suffer a loss when she marries home. Moreover, there is also the Huo family's wealth, and it is estimated that there will be a battle today. Another young man in a suit said with a smirk.

"This woman has a bad reputation, and her fame spreads far and wide. Ma Li glanced at Lu Fan, leaned into his ear and warned him.

"It's my business. Lu Fan also gave her a blank look. He came to find Huo Jingming, not to see the beauty, but by the way, he had the idea of looking at antiques. So he lowered his head and played with his phone, waiting for the second collection to appear.

"Cut, duplicity. Ma Li teased.

"Since the eldest lady wants to get married, it's best to come up with a topic, so that we can deal with it. Let's just don't let everyone play dumb riddles, okay?" someone in the seat suddenly said with a smile.

"Good. Huo Shuiling suddenly smiled charmingly and clapped his hands: "Actually, the topic is also very simple, just ask everyone to help me identify something." You are all experts in the antique world, with your own unique vision and extraordinary knowledge, if the answer satisfies me, the little woman is willing to marry and will never regret it. ”

"Then take it out quickly. ”

Huo Shuixian smiled: "Before taking it out, I want to state that whether you can guess it or not, this is not today's auction item, just a topic, please don't be mistaken." Linglong, let's take things out for everyone. ”

"Yes, Miss. The maid wearing a cheongsam next to her was already holding a tray covered with red silk at this time, and Shi Shiran walked up.

Everyone's eyes quickly focused on the red paint tray, and they were all curious about what Huo Shuiling was selling. To say that in the Chinese antique world, the Huo family is not the first, and they can steadily enter the top three, is there anything they don't know.

There seems to be only one person among them, who is completely indifferent to the treasure that is about to appear, and when everyone else has round eyes, Lu Fan is still playing his mobile game wholeheartedly. Even Ma Li stabbed him twice and got no response.

"What is this, strange, I haven't seen it at all, it seems to be a piece of jade, how is it crawling with small insects, is it natural or carved. It looks like it's been around for thousands of years. As soon as the red silk was uncovered, someone couldn't wait to stand up.
