In the face of the cynicism of the two, Zhao Zhuo was not angry, just smiled faintly.

At this moment, Sister Wang and Jing Yao also arrived, following Zhao Zhuo's gaze, Tong Dongyang saw Jing Yao at a glance, although there were many pedestrians passing by, but Jing Yao was like standing out from the crowd, so dazzling, that temperament was like a fairy, just a glance and there was no way to take his eyes off.

Tong Dongyang couldn't help but gasp, and finally came back to his senses, Jing Yao had already walked in front of Zhao Zhuo, bowed his head slightly and said hello, and then they were about to walk inside together, and in the process, they didn't aim at Tong Dongyang at all.

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Tong Dongyang's eyes, and he strode to Jing Yao's side, putting on a smile on his face, and at the same time stretched out his hand and said, "Miss Jing, hello, I am Tong Dongyang, a second-level appraiser of jade and porcelain. ”

"Hello." Jing Yao bowed slightly, her face was stained with a layer of frost, and she didn't shake hands with him.

Tong Dongyang was not embarrassed, withdrew his hand, and said with a smile: "I have long admired Miss Jing's name, and I heard that Miss Jing is coming, so I specially prepared a front row seat for the two of you." ”

Jing Yao said lightly: "Don't worry about Mr. Tong, just sit casually." With that, he walked forward.

When Zhao Zhuo saw Tong Dongyang's attentive appearance, he knew that he was fighting Jing Yao's idea, but how could Jing Yao take a fancy to him?

Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but smile in his heart, and as soon as he took two steps, Tong Dongyang followed, grinning and saying, "Brother Zhao, what is the relationship between you and Miss Jing?" ”

Zhao Zhuo said lightly: "What is the relationship, it seems that it is not the turn of Brother Tong, you have come to ask, right?" ”

Tong Dongyang's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he smiled and said: "It seems that Miss Jing is not your girlfriend yet, Brother Zhao, how about we make a deal, I see that you have a good relationship with Miss Jing, if you can help me catch up with her, not only will the matter of the Golden Chamber's Crane Cup be done according to your wishes, but also your benefits." ”

Zhao Zhuo sneered and said, "Brother Tong, do you think I'm the kind of person who will betray my friends for money?" ”

Tong Dongyang laughed and said, "How can this be considered a betrayal?" My Tong Dongyang's family background is extraordinary, only learned, and he is also a dignified talent, Miss Jing can climb me, that is her blessing, don't you think? ”

Zhao Zhuo said lightly: "I don't think a person who is simply chasing financial interests and wants to destroy ancient cultural relics doesn't even have the qualifications to pursue her!" ”

Tong Dongyang's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he still smiled: "It seems that Brother Zhao's misunderstanding of me is really deep enough, okay, since you don't help me, then I haven't said these words, but I'll tell you honestly, there is nothing I can't chase after the woman I Tong Dongyang has a crush on, just open my eyes after a while, and look at my Tong Dongyang's means of chasing women!" ”

With that, he took Tong Feiyu and strode away.

Zhao Zhuo looked at his back indifferently and sneered, if he pursued it fairly, it would be fine, if he played tricks, it would definitely make him regret it.

When I came to the auction hall of the auction house, the seats were already full, and everyone who had registered also got a sign in their hands, with a digital number written on it that matched the registered identity, although the auction had not yet begun, but the people in the hall were already flipping through the exhibit catalogue, whispering one by one.

Ji Xiaofan beckoned in the third row, Zhao Zhuo walked over, Ji Yuan sat on the far left, Sister Wang was next to him, then Jing Yao, and Ji Xiaofan sat down one seat apart.

As soon as Zhao Zhuo saw it, he knew that it was Ji Xiaofan who had left the seat for him, so he naturally sat down.

Ji Xiaofan couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw it, a woman like Jing Yao was already looking up, and if she wanted to sit next to her, her feet trembled a little just thinking about it, but Zhao Zhuo seemed natural and casual, and the confidence that was inadvertently revealed made people feel that only he could be worthy of Jing Yao.

And seeing Zhao Zhuo and Jing Yao sitting together, talking in a whisper, Tong Dongyang was jealous, this fairy-like woman felt like a flower stuck in cow dung just by seeing Zhao Zhuo sitting together.

However, the corners of Tong Dongyang's mouth quickly hooked up a sneer, he knew too much about the means of chasing women than a young man like Zhao Zhuo, he immediately calmed down, flipped through the exhibition album, and then his eyes stayed on a jade bracelet of the Ming Dynasty.

When the time reached half past nine, He Rongxian, the deputy manager of Lanjing Auction House, walked up, and followed him up by a tall man in his thirties, although his body was a little thin, but his eyes were bright and bright, and he had a bit of bearing.

As soon as the two walked out, the venue gradually quieted down, He Rongxian walked up to the stage, and said with a smile: "First of all, thank you very much for coming, the more than 30 antiques that will be auctioned this time are the collection of Mr. Zhang Yaoguang, a senior local collector, including jade, porcelain, calligraphy and painting and bronze, all of which are fine products this year, and now the auctioneer of the bank, Zou Junlong, will start the auction for everyone." ”

The emaciated man walked up to the stage, glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "The first item is auctioned below, this thing is a Pixiu ornament carved from Hetian jade seeds, 5cm long and 4cm high, with a starting price of 150,000 yuan, and a price of 1,000 each time." ”

While speaking, the staff has put this Pixiu ornament on the booth in front of the auction table, and under the light, it looks delicate and crystalline, like condensation.

Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but bow slightly, the so-called seed material refers to the jade containing jade after a long period of natural weathering after peeling into pieces of different sizes, collapsing on the hillside, and then washed into the river by rainwater, when the river dries up in autumn, the jade collected in the riverbed.

After thousands of years of river washing, these jade pieces have become delicate and warm, which is completely different from mountain materials.

The so-called mountain material refers to the jade that is artificially mined in the rock formation, and the quality is inferior due to the dry texture and lack of water head.

The seed material of this Hetian jade is like mutton fat white jade, the texture is on the upper layer, and the carver is also considered to be the upper layer, although the starting price is a little more expensive, but it does not affect everyone's evaluation of its price.

And the price of jade, especially Hetian jade, has been rising, so as soon as this Hetian jade seed carving Pixiu ornament came out, it attracted everyone to shout, and the price rose all the way, Sister Wang was obviously very interested in this ornament, but when the price exceeded 220,000, it was stopped by Jing Yao, and finally this jade carving was photographed at a price of 250,000.

The first collection was auctioned at a price higher than the starting price of 100,000 yuan, which can be regarded as a good start, and then, Zou Junlong said: "The second collection is a white jade bangs and a golden toad pei, 6cm high, with a starting price of 180,000 yuan, and the bidding price is 1,000 each time." ”

The staff immediately put the auction items up, the so-called bangs play the golden toad actually has a great origin, the general three-legged toad is called the toad, I heard that it can spit out money, it is a prosperous thing, in ancient times, there were bangs to cultivate, with the trick to accept the golden toad to become an immortal, and then the folk spread the legend of "bangs play the golden toad, step by step to catch money".

The white jade bangs in front of me are carved from white jade, the jade is transparent and oily, full of yellow-brown spots, using round carving, relief, yin line carving and other techniques, the bangs are clear, the flat top is draped in hair, smiling, holding the money rope, and the three-legged golden toad is crawling under the foot.

Zhao Zhuo saw it and nodded slightly, this thing is naturally pulped, although the white jade of the material does not necessarily have much upper layer, but the ancient jade is to look at the three points of material, seven points of knife work, this knife work can be described as superb, the bangs of the look and the golden toad's wooden nee carved vividly, as if it is carved with a knife, according to the carving techniques and so on, it should be a thing of the Ming Dynasty, it can be regarded as a masterpiece.

This golden toad is the meaning of making money, and it is a must-place thing in the homes of many businessmen and bosses of trade feng shui, but those golden toads are mostly handicrafts, and the antiques on the upper floor of the carving workers are placed at home, which is not only higher than the grade, but also has a kind of meaning of borrowing the feng shui of ancient life.

There was a lot of bidding in the venue, and in the end, the item was sold for 350,000 yuan.

Ji Xiaofan couldn't help whispering: "Zhang Yaoguang's vision is really powerful, and all the collections he collects can be sold at a good price, and there is no bias." ”

Zhao Zhuo bowed slightly, some people are only collecting for hobbies, and they look good in the house, and some people are collecting for speculating on the price.

Jing Yao said lightly: "Although these things are all popular, the auction price is slightly higher than the market, and it can be completed at a transaction price nearly 200,000 yuan higher, and there is no shortage of childcare in this venue." ”

Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but squint, trust is the most common phenomenon in the auction, but also an unspoken rule, are all people invited by the auction house, and even in the antique world there are special to do this kind of thing, what Tuo does is nothing more than to frequently raise his hand to bid, the atmosphere is hot and the price of unpopular works, in the auction hall, what is the importance of the atmosphere, if the field is deserted, no one raises a card, it is inevitable that people suspect that the auction is a fake, however, if there are more bidders, buyers will not worry too much about fakes, And the bottom line will also be relaxed in terms of price, and sometimes when the mind is hot, it will shout a higher amount than expected.

Of course, it is also necessary to have a level to do support, if it is recognized at a glance as a support, it will seem to be no level. However, even if there is a real suspicion that a bidder is trusted, a knowledgeable person will not point it out, after all, no one wants to offend an auction house in this matter, just as they will not point out a fake if they recognize it.

So even if there is a trust, Zhao Zhuo is not worried, because his mind is not on these collections, the only thing he is interested in is Tang Yin's "Court Tricks", although there is no conclusion so far, but as an appraiser, there is absolutely no such regret, so Zhao Zhuo quietly waited for this painting to appear again.
