As for why the eighth elder brother was hostile to himself, Yinzhen didn't tell the truth, only vaguely said that he had offended this person before, and the eighth elder brother tried to pursue Julia, so the two parties got married.

"I see." Andrei nodded, "That guy doesn't look like a good bird!" I asked Lao Lu, that man is a wicked young man, next time I see him, I will beat him so that he can't take care of himself! ”

Yinzhen was ridiculous by him, everyone is like this, good words can't be learned, and scolding words are always the first to remember.

But he didn't expect that the eighth elder brother would be jealous of Andre for this matter. Not long after, an antique shop they patronized, obviously the shopkeeper said that he wanted to sell a Qing Dynasty ivory carved lotus cup to Andrei, but it was bought by someone else, Andre paid the deposit in advance and it was useless, the shopkeeper cried and said that the other party must buy it, and paid a lot of money to buy the police threat, under coercion and temptation, the shopkeeper could only break his promise.

Andre was so angry that even if the shopkeeper said that he would return the deposit and double the compensation, he would not follow, and he must ask who the ivory carving was sold to.

"The son of the Ye family." The shopkeeper smiled wryly, "You must know, right? Ye Zishen's son ......"

Yin Zhen understood that this must have been done deliberately by the eighth elder brother.

Andrei slammed his fist on the counter!

"Good! Wait for me! He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll have to deal with him!" I'm going to...... Deal with him like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves! ”

Two days later, Andre told Yinzhen that he carefully asked someone to check the situation of the bastard named Ye Xun. Then I found that I had a place where I could do my hands and feet.

"You know a certain group controlled by the Ye family. Are you developing minerals overseas? Andrei said, "Aluminum, a big one. But I'm sorry, the Stoke Group took the lead over there, so in the past six months, the Ye family has been trying to squeeze in and get a bite to eat......"

"You're using idioms again." Yin Zhen interrupted him, "A big aluminum mine? How big is it? ”

"The Stoke side can't swallow it, so it's really looking for a partner, and the Ye family wants to squeeze in." Andrei said triumphantly. "But. Unfortunately, this dream was shattered until yesterday. ”

"What do you mean?"

"The Stoke Group will suspend the consideration of the Ye family, and may find another collaborator." Andrei shrugged. "This is the result of a night of argument between me and my father."

Yin Zhen was taken aback: "Really? Such a big thing. Andre. Can you call the shots? ”

"I can't call the shots, that's why I tried to convince my father." Andrei snorted, "Don't worry. He didn't listen to me, although he thought I was reasonable, but he was still worried about my personal vendetta, so he asked Lao Lu very carefully - it seems that Lao Lu didn't say anything good about the Ye family. In short, the plan was put on hold for the time being, we withdrew our hands, and the olive branch of the Ye family fell into the sea, long live! ”

Yin Zhen never expected such a dramatic episode to happen.

"Of course, the Ye family has a strong background, even if we reject it this time, the Ye family will not lose a lot, but the piece of fat in their mouths is gone, presumably they will feel a little uncomfortable, right?" Andre snorted, "Even if they make their father and son indigestion for one night, I will take revenge!" ”

After his revenge, Andrei was in a happy mood, and the next thing he paid the most attention to: the antique auction.

He showed the auction materials to Yinzhen and asked Yinzhen to help him pick out the items worth buying. That afternoon, Yinzhen sat in front of the computer, flipping through these pictures, and couldn't help but feel all kinds of emotions in his heart.

The momentum of the auction is not large, and there are not many things, mainly antiques from the Ming and Qing dynasties. In it, Yinzhen found a lot of things that made him familiar, and even a blue and white pen wash that he placed in the study every day was also put on the auction table, because it was "the royal thing of Emperor Yongzheng".

He sighed softly, thinking to himself, if only the IBM he had on hand could sell it at such a high price—it was obviously the imperial notebook of Emperor Yongzheng.

On the day of the auction, there were a lot of people, and Yinzhen had a premonition that he was likely to meet Eighth Brother here, and that guy seemed to have been eyeing him and Andre recently.

Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour of him and Andre entering, the eighth elder brother walked towards them with a smile.

"It's a small world." He deliberately said softly, "Why do we always meet on various occasions?" ”

Yin Zhen sneered and didn't speak. It was Andrei, who said directly: "That's because you're following us!" ”

Eighth Elder Brother laughed: "There is a disease called hypochondriasis, and it is recommended that Mr. Andre go for a check-up." Have you been doing the sun for a long time, thinking that the whole world revolves around you? ”

"Don't dare to be, I only know that some people look down on me and always want to snatch away what I fancie, I don't know what kind of disease this is?" Andre deliberately said, "Mr. Ye, there is a kind of stress disorder in the aftermath of the car accident, I think you had better go to the doctor." ”

The eighth elder brother smiled and ignored him, but turned to Yinzhen and said idly: "The fourth brother hasn't been going to work in Jianglin much recently, is it because he is a companion to foreigners?" I wonder how many copper plates the foreigner can reward you in the end? ”

Yin Zhen was used to his weird speech, and he didn't get angry, but said coldly: "You are very rich now, so you regard all interpersonal relationships as money relationships, that is your narrow-mindedness, forgive me for not accompanying Yinghe." ”

The eighth elder brother nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, the fourth brother can't look down on money, and he thinks that he can force the court officials to death for a penny, but now he has changed his temperament." may be because the fourth brother is down, and he finally knows that money is not easy to come by. ”

He smiled slightly: "Actually, I'm curious, there are so many things at today's auction, the fourth brother has all of them, which one can he afford?" Seeing that his belongings were bought by others, but he couldn't even afford a fraction, the fourth brother must be sad in his heart, right? ”

Yin Zhen was so angry that he smoked, but he laughed: "Why should I buy these things? I've seen and watched them back then, and I've had enough of them, and I've long been tired of them. Only those who have never gotten it will stare at those 'royal' objects and spend a lot of money to buy them. Go home and dream of being an emperor. ”

Eighth Elder Brother's face changed drastically, and before he could speak, Ye Zishen walked over briskly from the side.

"Ah Xun, what are you talking to?" He asked, glancing at Andrei again, "Huh?" Isn't this Mr. Eastland? ”

Andre recognized Ye Zishen, and at that moment, he had to reluctantly say, "Mr. Ye, good evening." ”

Ye Zishen saw that he was still willing to give some face, so he smiled and said, "I heard that Ling Zun is also in this city." When it's convenient. Can we meet? ”

Andre said stiffly: "He is very busy, and he has no time to meet with idlers. ”

Ye Zishen heard that he was angry, and he was not annoyed, but only smiled and said, "The dog has offended Mr. Eastland a lot recently. Young people are impulsive. That's all there. It's just a misunderstanding. Please don't take it personally. ”

His tone was very sincere, and it was clear that he was pulling down his face to curry favor, and Yinzhen knew it. Ye Zishen has probably gotten the news about the failure of investing in aluminum mines, and he also understands that Eighth Elder Brother has offended Andre, and it seems that he wants to try to redeem it.

Andre deliberately looked incomprehensible, turned his head and asked Yinzhen: "What do you mean by dog?" Dog, it seems to mean dog...... Isn't that the son of a dog? Ah Zhen, I thought you Chinese were disrespectful to dogs. ”

Yin Zhen couldn't cry or laugh, and then looked at Ye Zishen and Eighth Elder Brother, their faces were not very good.

Yin Chen knew that he couldn't add fuel to the fire at this moment, so he had to persuade: "Andre, Mr. Ye is apologizing to you for what happened before, you should accept the apology, this is the courtesy of the Chinese." As for the dog, that's a humble word, don't chew the words too much. ”

He eased up in it, Ye Zishen's expression recovered, and he smiled again: "This is Mr. Yin mentioned by Jiang Lin's President Lu, right?" He has told me many times that Mr. Yin is young and promising, and when I saw him today, sure enough, Lao Lu did not see the wrong person. ”

Yin Zhen smiled politely and distantly: "Where, where." ”

Ye Zishen then said to Andre in English again: "Five years ago, I met your father in Europe, and the two sides worked together on several projects at that time, and everyone felt very good, and I hope this friendly exchange will continue." Since your father is here, when will we get together and clear up the misunderstandings in the past......"

Andrei interrupted him: "I know Chinese!" ”

Yinzhen reached out and patted him lightly on the shoulder, signaling him to be calm.

Andre had no choice but to say loudly: "Okay, I can't agree to the party now, my Lingzun schedule is very busy, I'm afraid I can't spare time." As for your dog offending me, kicking me out of the café, snatching my lotus leaf cup, insulting my friends, and laughing at my Chinese level, and calling me a foreign dog...... I don't care about all these things. As you Chinese often say, I don't remember villains, and I don't have the same knowledge as you. Are you satisfied now? ”

Yin Zhen almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Ye Zishen was also helpless, he didn't know whether Andre was really a mess of Chinese, or deliberately sarcastic him, but his son offended people first, and offended so many times, and even scolded the son of the president of the Stoke consortium for being a foreign dog, and it made sense for people to be angry.

So he had to smile faintly and say a few more words to Yinzhen, and then left with the eighth elder brother.

The auction began, and the antiques, calligraphy and paintings were put out one by one. Yinzhen didn't have anything to buy, but Andre liked porcelain and jade very much. But he came to the auction this time for a purpose that was almost mischievous: as long as the eighth elder brother took a fancy to something, he would go and grab it from others.

In the first few times, the eighth brother only smiled, and when Andre offered a higher price, he gave up the bid. Later, Yinzhen saw that this situation was not good, so he reminded Andre not to be tricked by the eighth elder brother, otherwise he would buy a big box and go back, but he would be wronged.

Yin Zhen has read all the information, he thought about it carefully, he didn't think that there was anything in it that the eighth elder brother would particularly like, and Andre, a cultural relic Xiaobai, today's auction is very ordinary, there is no kind of cultural relics that shocked the world, it stands to reason that the eighth elder brother has money, and the things he likes should also be particularly precious and rare.

Probably because of the fact that in this auction, there is something that the eighth elder brother has a soft spot for.

Yinzhen's guess verifies that when the auction is two-thirds of the way through, something appears.

It was a hair ornament used by the women of the Qing Dynasty banner people: white jade inlaid with gemstones.

The jade is Hetian sheep fat jade, the gemstones are ruby and jadeite, the pattern is pomegranate flowers, and the flowing and small red flowers are inlaid on the fine white and flawless jade. It's very beautiful.

When this flat square was displayed, Yin Zhen noticed that the eighth elder brother's expression immediately changed, his body sat up straight, his eyes were firmly fixed on the flat square, and his eyes seemed to radiate light!

Yin Zhen was slightly surprised, why was Eighth Brother so interested in a flat square?

At this moment, I heard the auction host say that the flat square is an item in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and who is the original owner. It is no longer known. However, it is speculated that the original owner was a Manchu woman, and she should have been a noblewoman, or maybe even a concubine in the palace, because the white jade was of very good quality. And the gemstone carvings are exquisite. It's not something that ordinary people can have.

When the host said "probably a concubine in the palace". Yin Zhen found that the eighth elder brother's expression became extremely ironic, that kind of irrepressible mean impulse. It's as if he's going to jump up and refute the host's remarks. This made Yinzhen weigh it in his heart.

Suddenly, he remembered a small incident from the past.

It was Sifujin who had mentioned to him that that time it might be a birthday, and she was going to give a gift to the Eighth Master's Mansion. At that time, Yin Zhen didn't listen carefully, and he was not interested in these boudoir trivial matters at all, so in the end he just waved his hand and said, whatever you want.

But Sifujin has a sentence that makes Yinzhen remember it vividly, she said with a smile at the time, the eighth brother and sister are a delicate person, and their temperament is straightforward, and the things they give her can't be perfunctory, a little perfunctory, she can immediately notice it, and then she won't give you a good look.

Sifujin also said that fortunately, she still knows some of Bafujin's preferences, "I heard that she likes pomegranate flowers the most."

This sentence poured into Yinzhen's mind for no reason at this time, and he looked at the expression of the eighth elder brother again, and couldn't help but move in his heart: Could it be that this flat square is actually the thing of the Eight Blessings?

Thinking of this, Yin Zhen couldn't help but be interested, and he whispered to Andre in his ear: "It seems that Ye Xun wants this flat square." ”

When Andre heard this, he immediately clenched his fists: "Okay!" I'm going to snatch it! ”

Yin Zhen smiled slightly, and didn't say anything, he was happy to watch from the wall.

Sure enough, not long after Bai Yubian started the auction, the eighth elder brother participated in the bidding.

The reserve price of the thing is not high, but perhaps because of its exquisiteness, there are many people who want it, and the price has risen vigorously, and in the end, no one has bid with the eighth brother, and it has reached the standard of 500,000.

The eighth elder brother looked around with satisfaction, and was about to wait for the host to drop the gavel, but Andre said lazily: "600,000." ”

All of them turned their eyes to Andrey!

Eighth Elder Brother smiled and continued: "Six hundred and fifty thousand." ”

"Seven hundred thousand." Andrei also said.

"Eight hundred thousand."

"Eight hundred and fifty thousand."

"Eight hundred and seventy thousand."

"Nine hundred thousand."

There was a commotion in the field, a small flat square of the Qing Dynasty, the price was already very amazing.

Eighth Brother now understands that Andre is deliberately working against him. At this moment, there was no smile on his face, he only stared at Andre coldly, as if he wanted to kill him with his gaze!

Andrei didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "You add more!" It doesn't matter how much you add, I just want this thing! ”

The eighth elder brother was silent for a moment and quoted a price of one million.

There was a low commotion in the room.

Andrei said nonchalantly: "One and a half million." ”

"One and a half million."

Andrei laughed, he stretched out his hand: "Two million." ”

Everyone in the audience was shocked, and that expression was like watching two neuropaths fight!

Yin Zhen felt funny from the beginning, but now, he also feels that the situation has developed almost embarrassingly, these two people, do they want to raise the price of a flat square to 10 million?

But right now, Andre is in high spirits, and it's not convenient for him to pour cold water.

At this moment, Yin Zhen saw Ye Zishen stretch out his hand and pat the eighth elder brother on the shoulder.

"Two million for the first time." The moderator said.

No one responded.

"Two million times a second time." The moderator continued.

There was no sound, Yin Zhen turned his head to look at the eighth elder brother, and he realized that the eighth elder brother's face was so weird, as if the muscles had disappeared, leaving only the abrupt bones poking the thin skin, his cheeks were gloomy blue, his lips had long been bloodless, and his eyes were so big, as if he wanted to swallow the host alive!

Yin Zhen knew that Eighth Brother would not raise the price again, it was Ye Zishen who stopped him, and he did this in order not to offend the Stoke Group.

"Two million times a lot! Deal! ”

Yin Zhen sighed softly, Ye Zishen sacrificed the will of the eighth elder brother and gave Bian Fang to Andre, but he would never understand what he gave up.

At the end of the auction, Andrei happily played with the flat square.

"It's pretty, Ah Zhen, you say, wouldn't she be happy if I gave it to Roxana?"

Yin Zhen smiled slightly bitterly, Andre wants to give this Qing Dynasty flat square bought for two million to Roxana?

This quaint thing, which once lingered on the side of a Qing Dynasty woman's bun, will be inserted into a foreign woman's hair in the future?

At this time, the eighth elder brother walked towards them.

"Congratulations." He was still smiling, and the moment of gaffe just now had disappeared without a trace. He returned to smiling faces.

Andre took the flat square and shook it mockingly at the eighth elder brother: "This thing belongs to me, I want to give it to my girlfriend!" ”

The Eighth Elder Brother's eyes were blazing, and there were angry flames burning in them.

But he still laughed, "Really? Does she know what it is? Does she know how to use it? Does she have the mind to know the meaning of the pattern on it? ”

Andre heard the strong sarcasm in it, and he was unhappy: "Isn't it just a hairpin?" ”

"It turns out that you just use it as a hairpin." The eighth elder brother smiled and said to Yinzhen, "The fourth brother has a good dog, and he pounces and bites at a critical moment, which is really not ambiguous at all." ”

Hearing him scold himself for being a dog, Andrei was furious!

"You can scold again!"

"I shouldn't have scolded you for being a dog, or I'd be too exalted to you." The eighth elder brother said coldly, "You are just a fool with no brains, you were used as a gunman by the fourth child, and you were proud of being sold......"

At this time, Andre couldn't stand it anymore, he grabbed the flat square and broke it hard!

With a click, Bai Yubian was broken by him!

Yin Zhen was shocked, and before he could reach out to stop it, Andre threw the broken flat square at the eighth elder brother!

"Now, you'll never get it!"

He roared, as if he was still in a state of confusion, and lifted his foot again, and stomped on the broken flat square!

Then, Andrei did not head back and ran out of the hall!

Oops, this is a bad thing! Yin Zhen complained bitterly in his heart, he looked at the broken flat square on the ground, and looked at the eighth elder brother who was tragically distracted, but at this moment, he had no position to say comforting words, and finally had to turn his head to chase Andre.

In the noisy discussion, the eighth elder brother slowly bent down, reached out to pick up the broken flat square, he held it tightly in the palm of his hand, he used so much force, the broken edge of the flat square pierced his palm, and blood flowed down from his fingers......

Tick, tick. (To be continued.) )
