Three hundred and forty-six

Ding Yi followed the street and entered more than a dozen shops, and sure enough, as Aleb said, none of these shops had jade goods, and even a few were stunned for a long time when asked, probably not remembering what jade was for a while.

Back at the Qiu family, Ding Yi told the Qiu family about the auction, and the Qiu family was not much surprised, after all, the annual cultural relics auction invites the family to be a big head, and the Qiu family naturally has an invitation letter.

Not to mention whether a few priceless things can be produced every year, let's just say that because many of the bosses behind the cultural relics street have a very big background, most of the guests invited every year are nobles, and after a long time, everyone has formed a tacit understanding, basically going to participate every year, even if they don't shoot things, when it is an exchange conference, even the top families are no exception.

And this kind of auction is usually taken by the relatively idle old man Qiu with the juniors, and in previous years, Qiu Ling was naturally brought, but this year, with Ding Yi, Qiu Ling shirked this boring task for her and ran away.

Soon the time came next Tuesday, at six o'clock in the evening, Old Man Qiu took Ding Yi to the auction hall on time.

At the same time, in an office on the top floor of the auction house, Aleper Eaton took a sip of a glass of wine and listened to the respectful report of the arrival of his subordinates.

After briefly talking about the situation of the guests, there were generally no problems, and Aleper kept silent, and after his subordinates explained all the situation, Aleb finally asked out loud: "You mean that Old Man Qiu personally brought that Miss Ding here?"

"Yes, the subordinates personally received them", the auction starts at 6 o'clock in the evening every year, and those who come to make friends with the powerful will come an hour in advance, and those who just have to wait for others to come will be stuck. A top family like the Qiu family naturally doesn't need to come in advance, and the Qiu family has a special box. There is also a special passage to enter the venue, except for the auction house staff, ordinary guests cannot reach them, and they may not even be seen in the whole venue. Unless you have a special relationship.

The Eaton family happens to be the behind-the-scenes owner of this auction house, which also hosts this auction event every year, as long as it is worth more than 50 million federal coins, you can put it up for auction, whether you are an individual or a group.

It was easy for Alebo to find out what was going on with the guests, and he heard the answers from his men. He asked again, "During the reception, did you observe that old man Qiu's attitude towards Miss Ding?"

The subordinate hesitated for a moment before replying: "It seems that Old Man Qiu takes good care of that young lady, although it is not obvious, but on the way to the field, he will occasionally mention a few words about her." ”

Aleber nodded thoughtfully, waved his hand and let his men go down, "Go and prepare, it'll start soon." ”

His subordinates respectfully retreated, and Aleber drank the wine in his hand in one gulp, muttering to himself, "It seems that we need to re-evaluate...... She's worth it! Less wind...... It's really worth looking forward to!"

In the special box, after the waiter finished serving refreshments and asked if he didn't need other services for the time being, he withdrew from the door, and only Old Man Qiu and Ding Yi were left in the box.

Old Man Qiu glanced at Ding Yi, who was a little nervous from entering the venue, and said, "Girl, how much do you know about ancient relics?"

Old Man Qiu took the initiative to divert her attention, and Ding Yi breathed a sigh of relief, he was really acting alone with the former Federal Marshal or something. It's stressful to think about!

Usually it's okay at home, at least talking to Old Man Qiu, there are other Qiu family members around her, she is not so cramped. But now that she is out of the Qiu family, Old Man Qiu suddenly released her majestic momentum, even if she knew that it was against others, she would be nervous!

"I don't know much, if it's a relic of the ancient earth, it's okay, I know a little about the fur. But if it is the cultural relics after the Great Migration, it is not understood. Although she is learning cultural relics appreciation, she has only been in class for a few months now, and it is good to know a few cultural relics after the great migration.

Although there will theoretically be no monitoring in the box, no one can guarantee that there will be ears on the wall in the dark, even if Old Man Qiu wanted to ask about the ancient earth in detail, he didn't really say it at this time, " Speaking of which, the probability of the cultural relics of the ancient earth appearing in this auction is very low, it has not appeared for more than a hundred years, and every time the cultural relics of the ancient earth appear, the final bid price is sky-high, even if it is just a small piece of the lowest level of iron, not to mention those legendary calligraphy and paintings, even I have never seen what the real ink painting is like, but I know from the family history that the artistic conception of the ink painting is far-reaching, freehand chic, if I can really see a pair, probably I will die blind!"

After the last sentence, Old Man Qiu sighed exaggeratedly.

Ding Yi quickly reacted, Old Man Qiu was joking, not that what he said was not true, but the reason why he said such a thing, and also showed such obvious regret against the usual unsmiling image, was to let her relax, about in this old man's concept, this is "coaxing" juniors!

Well, it's so vague, if it weren't for Ding Yi's experience with his grandfather in his previous life, he might not have realized it.

A high-ranking former federal marshal is so "well-intentioned", Ding Yi will naturally be moved, and at the same time, it also reminds her of her grandfather in her previous life, although the two old men express their love in different ways, one is outward, the other is introverted, but they are full of their greatest love for juniors.

Thinking of his grandfather, Ding Yi's eyes couldn't help but be a little red, but in the end he couldn't help it, looked up seriously and smiled at Old Man Qiu and nodded, and followed his words, "How can grandpa say that, no matter how precious the calligraphy and painting is, it is just a painting, even if we can't see the works of our predecessors, but we can study and study it ourselves, and when we go back, I will accompany you to try it, how the legendary ink painting is freehand." ”

She had already made up her mind that when she returned, she would study how to make rice paper, brushes, and pigment ink from the materials she was now making.

Although calligraphy and painting are not her strong point, at least she knows more than the current people, just give the basic things to the old man Qiu, no matter how you say it, the old man can't really regret it.

Old Man Qiu smiled with relief, and his recognition of Ding Yi in his heart was a little more, and the old and the young were also from this
