On this day, the Poly Autumn Auction officially kicked off.

I was awakened by the alarm on my mobile phone at eight o'clock, and it took me a long time to hear it, rubbing my eyes, and I was so excited that I climbed out of bed and brushed my teeth and washed up. Yan Wanru bought me this post-80s Shaolin abbot station downloaded an alarm software with an English name, but maybe the software has some defects, even if I turned up the volume to the fullest, the sound was not loud, and I almost missed the time to get up.

After getting dressed, I unscrewed the floodgates of the gas tank and boiled a bowl of seaweed egg soup to drink.

Seeing that there was still some rich time before the auction, I grabbed my mobile phone and called Yan Wanru, I haven't been able to contact her for the past two days, and I always turn off my phone during the day, and I don't know what I'm busy with.

"Hello?" It wasn't Yan Wanru who picked it up, and Lianlian's sleepy voice unexpectedly sounded, "...... Who? ”

I said, "I'm Gu Jing, what time is it, why haven't you gone to school?" ”

Lian Lian seemed to be yawning and didn't wake up, "Oh, Brother Jing, yesterday the school had a sports day, so I have a day off today, whew, I'm sleepy, you're looking for my mother, right?" Wait, I don't know where she went, the phone is still on my bed, and she just told me to come early. After a pause, he vaguely heard the sound of slippers stepping on the floor and opening the door, "Mom! Mother! Where? Brother Jing's phone! Mother! ”

"Let him wait, that's fine." It was Yan Wanru's subtle voice, very soft, as if she was speaking through a door.

Lian Lian said: "Oh, my mother is, and she has already flushed the tank." ”

Uh, I even blushed unconsciously, and a charming picture reflexively appeared in my mind, because once in Xuanwumen Yan Wanru was robbed of her bag, I changed pants with her in the public bathroom on the side of the road, and I saw her go to the thatched house, so this imaginary picture is extremely clear, as if I really saw Sister Yan's posture of going to the toilet at this moment.

Squeak, after the door opened, I only heard Yan Wanru say shy and angry: "Stinky girl!" What to say! Looking for a beating, isn't it? ”

"You're, and I'm not wrong, ah! Mommy don't hit me! Don't fight! I was wrong! ”

"I'll settle accounts with you later, and I'll go early obediently." Waiting for Lianlian's giggling laughter to get farther and farther away, Yan Wanru's voice rang on the other end of the phone: "Xiaojing, right?" What's the matter? ”

I hurriedly collected my thoughts and said, "What have you been busy with these two days?" How can I turn off my phone when I make a call? ”

"Oh, the day you came to the house to get the cup, I went to the TV station to make up for it, and the next day I also went to Yanjing TV to record a new program, which is a New Year's special, although it will not be broadcast until the end of December, but now it is very busy, and the specific process has just been arranged." Yan Wanru's tone looked a little tired, "I can finally take a break today, what's wrong?" Isn't your colorful December Flower God Cup going to be auctioned in autumn? Oh yes, I remember yesterday I heard from a friend that Poly's field is open today, and your cup is also there? ”

"Well, I want to ask if you're going."

"Is there anything good in this issue? I didn't pay much attention. ”

I laughed: "My flower god cup is a good thing, it is said that it will be the finale in the back, and it may be the penultimate or third to start shooting." ”

"Huh? Didn't Poly receive the good things this time? It's not that you're not good at the Flower God Cup, but after all, you haven't made it up, how can it be the finale? ”

"Hehe, let me sell it first, you'll know when you arrive, let's see you at Huatian Hotel?"

“…… She also said that she would accompany my daughter to buy clothes at noon, and she had to mumble again, alas, okay, you wait for me. ”

Yanjing Huatian International Hotel.

The autumn auction has not yet started, and there are already many people and cars arriving at the door one after another.

I waited for about half an hour at the northwest corner entrance of the open-air parking lot before Yan's Audi A8 came into view. When Yan Wanru, who was wearing wide sunglasses that covered most of her face, parked the car, she turned back to the entrance, pushed the situation on the bridge of her nose, and naturally grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the revolving door of the hotel. She didn't wear a formal dress, but a casual outfit of white jeans and a light-colored cotton kaftan that made her feel like a housewife.

"There was a bit of a traffic jam on the road, did you arrive early?"

"No, I just arrived." Quietly glanced at her hand around my big arm, my expression was slightly stiff, I always felt that it was not good to be seen, but Sister Yan seemed to really treat me as a relative, I didn't care about this, I obviously couldn't let her go, so I had to endure not to let my heart beat red, coughed and said: "Sister Yan, when you enter the venue later, can you help me get a shot, I'll give you your ID card." I reached out my wallet and handed her the new ID.

Yan Wan subconsciously took it and said strangely: "You don't have an auction card?" I thought you had already booked. ”

I smiled embarrassedly: "Poly's rules are stricter, even the owner of the lot can't take the auction without paying a deposit, uh, I spent all my money on the Huashen Cup, I don't tell you, I still have 1,800 yuan on my body, I really don't have the money to pay the deposit, cough cough, you see...... "Yanjing auction is no better than other second-tier cities, even if some small auctions, the deposit is 100,200,000 yuan, and big auctions such as spring and autumn auctions are even more than 50 or 1 million."

When I heard this, Yan Wanru pulled my nose angrily: "Okay, it turned out that I couldn't pay the deposit before I remembered to call your sister?" ”

I hurriedly waved my hand: "No, really, uh, I can't breathe, don't pull my nose, okay?" ”

Yan Wanru smiled and flicked on my head, "You, you, what a stupid boy, I said that I would give you two flower god cups, you don't want to be born, and now you have no money, right?" Let me say what is good about you? ”

While talking, we walked into the hotel, asked a waiter, and immediately walked to the place where we went through the formalities.

"Won't you have money later?" I rubbed my itchy nose and glanced at Yan Wanru mysteriously: "My set of flower god cups is really the last few finales of this autumn auction, that, cough cough, accidentally, I also collected the last moon season flower cup, and now it is a set of twelve." ”

Yan Wanru showed two charming dimples and smiled gently: "Blow, blow and blow." ”

I sweated, "I didn't lie to you. ”

Yan Wanru glanced at me and said in disbelief: "I know you are lucky, but no matter how good your luck is, there must be a limit?" The Moon Flower Cup has not appeared for decades, why did you find it? Think you're so easy to fool Sister Yan? "All the humble things I have had in the past two months may be luck in the eyes of others, but in fact, it is not the case, I rely on the memories of my previous life, but I have to say that this time the Flower God Cup is collected, and it is indeed more lucky. However, after thinking about it carefully, I have missed more than a dozen times, only this time it can barely be called smooth, from a certain point of view, I think that my luck is bad enough, always bumpy, I am really sorry for the love God gave me.

"It's true, I don't believe you'll see it later."

"Hehe, I won't make up nonsense, stupid." Yan Wanru gently glanced at me.

I rolled my eyes depressedly, and simply didn't explain, and followed her to the service desk to go through the formalities and get the number plate. I got the number 563, and Yan Wanru got the number 567, 567? Well, good numbers.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, I've seen you from afar, what's wrong? Pretend you don't know? ”

"Lao Xu, haha, sorry, I didn't pay attention."

Behind us, two men with a slight Shaanxi accent chatted together.

"I didn't see you come to the one that Hanhai opened, is there an antique you fancy here at Poly?"

"Well, have you heard? This time, there will be a colorful December Flower God Cup. ”

"Yo drink, then we can crash the car, and I'm also running to that."

Hearing this, Yan Wanru blinked her eyes suspiciously and looked at me: "When did the Flower God Cup become so popular?" ”

I looked at her, "What do you say?" ”

I only heard the man named Lao Xu laugh: "I knew that I had to crash, along the way I heard a lot of people talk about that set of cups, the pure blue and white December Flower God Cup is good to say, there have been several transaction records in the first few years, but the whole set of colorful Flower God Cup has never appeared at the auction, especially the Moon Flower Cup, it seems that in addition to the one in the Palace Museum, there is only one in the world, hehe, rare things are expensive, you say, can there be fewer people fighting?" ”

"Yes, I don't have much hope, but I think I can compete for a blue and white pen holder, at least the price will not be too high."

Yan Wanru was already stunned, "Jing, what's the matter?" ”

I hooked the corners of my bitter mouth: "I told you that I found the Yueji Flower Cup, but you still don't believe it." ”

"Can I believe what you say so casually?" Yan Wanru hurriedly pulled me to a place where no one was in the corner, "Tell me, where did you get it?" ”

I said, "A friend's house, hehe, by chance, it happened." ”

"By chance?" Yan Wanru looked at me speechlessly: "I've seen good luck, but I've never seen you so good, you...... Why didn't you tell me in advance? ”

I shrugged my shoulders: "Didn't I ask you if there was a high imitation of the Flower God Cup that day?" In fact, the moon flower cup was in my hand at that time, and then I said that I wanted to surprise you at your house at night, but you weren't there, and you turned off your mobile phone when you recorded the show in the past two days, and I want to tell you that you don't have a chance, what's wrong? ”

"Nothing." Yan Wanru shook her head with some regret, and then put on a warm smile and pinched my face: "You lucky little thing, I really convinced you." ”

"Don't, it's me who obeyed you." I said angrily: "I'm married, and my wife is older than you, don't call me a 'little thing', okay?" ”

"Hehe, sister is called, what can you do with sister?"

“…… Khan, just call it. ”

The time was almost up, and everyone rushed to the large venue on the west side.

Yan Wanru and I found two seats in the middle and back rows to sit down, feeling the lively atmosphere around us, and my excitement was hooked up again, but thinking that the Huashen Cup would only start filming in the afternoon, I couldn't help but feel a little impetuous, exhaled, and tried to stabilize my mind.

Even after sitting down, Yan Wanru still held my hand and didn't let go, at this time, she suddenly smiled and nodded in the direction of the door: "Brother Jin, Lao Zang, are you here too?" ”

The two middle-aged men looked at each other in unison, their eyes puzzled for a moment, and then they were relieved.

The man named Brother Jin smiled: "Yo, it's Xiao Yan, hehe, you cover it so tightly, I almost didn't recognize it." ”

Lao Zang also said: "Teacher Yan, what do you like?" ”

Yan Wanru shook her head slightly, and moved the arm wrapped around my arm: "I don't know, I haven't watched the preview before, but this time I mainly accompany my brother to join in the fun." ”

After chatting for a while, the two left to the front position.

Then, Yan Wanru greeted many acquaintances who had just entered the venue, and it could be seen that her popularity was not ordinarily good.

Ten minutes later, Poly's staff announced the official start of the autumn auction, and the auctioneer took the stage to give a speech.

Anyway, I wasn't very interested in other lots, so I turned my head sideways and said, "...... How much do you think my cup can be valued? ”

"There is no record of auction transactions in history, so it's hard to say." Yan Wanru thought for a while and said, "But if the shooting is good, it should be able to reach 7.5 million." ”

I was taken aback: "Isn't it?" Can it be over seven million? ”

Yan Wanru nodded slowly: "Although the transaction price of a single flower god cup at auction can reach up to 2.67 million, counting the opening, multiplied by twelve, it will be about 3 million, but since it is a complete set, it obviously cannot be calculated according to simple addition and subtraction, let me make an inappropriate analogy, for example, there is now a yuan blue and white that can only be auctioned for 100 million, if you break a corner of the blue and white jar and use this incomplete jar to go to auction, I estimate that it will not even be 20 million, because the difference between the remnants and the whole is too great." ”

"That's 7.5 million is too ......" My psychological price is 6.5 million, which is quite reliable.

Yan Wanru smiled lightly: "Who knows, at the auction, anything can happen." ”

I'm a little short of breath, if it's really like Yan Wanru said that it will cost 7.5 million, the villa in Shunyi will be settled, then the grand house, my parents and Aunt Zou will definitely like it.

"Fifty thousand!"

"Sixty thousand!"

"716 60,000...... 60,000 once...... Sixty thousand two ......"

The one on the other end has already made a bid.

Unlike the previous auctions I attended, the autumn auction was obviously more popular, and everyone didn't have the idea of letting go of it, and the competition began as soon as it came up. From morning to afternoon, each of Poly's lots was carefully guided by Sister Yan, not only told me how to identify them, but even told me about the things behind the pile of antiques, such as why rhinoceros horn can be auctioned at a sky-high price, such as why an official kiln of the Qing Dynasty is more valuable than that of the Ming Dynasty, and so on.

3:40 p.m.

The auctioneer pointed to a set of teacups on the big screen and said: "Qing Kangxi colorful December Flower God Cup, the mouth edge is skimmed outward, the arc belly is curved, and the foot is circled." The shape of the vessel is small and exquisite, and the carcass is extremely light and thin, with a sense of exquisiteness and clarity. A flower for a month, and with the corresponding poems and texts decorated, the tail of the word "reward" seal, to the precious. ”

I don't know if it's my delusion, but it seems to be a lot quieter down there.

The auctioneer tightened the microphone in his hand and deliberately muttered for a few seconds before saying: "The starting price is four million, and the price will be fixed by 100,000 yuan each time. ”

As soon as the words fell, there were people holding signs at the bottom, and there were three people at once.

"Four million ...... million"

"Four million two hundred thousand ......"

"Four million three hundred thousand...... There is also no bidding...... Four million ......,300,000"

How to set the starting price is also a science, in fact, if I want to mean, eleven cups can barely be auctioned for four million, how can this set of neatness have to start at five million, right? But Brother Hao thought it was inappropriate, he said that since he was not worried that the cups would be auctioned, he should leave them some room for bidding, don't kill so many bidders at the beginning, from low to high, everyone will call one by one, and with the lively atmosphere and momentum, maybe they can get a higher price. In this regard, Brother Hao is professional, of course I have to listen to them, so I agreed to the starting price of four million.

After a little distraction, I found that the price was actually over five million.

"Five million and one million...... 5,100,000 ...... of 336"

"Five and a half million!" The big brother Jin who had just greeted Yan Wanru spoke.

Almost at the same time, a boss with an accent like a Shanghainese raised a sign and shouted: "Five million seven million!" ”

After a few seconds, a middle-aged female surname with an unattractive appearance slowly raised the paddle card.

The auctioneer pointed to that side with his palm and said, "Five million and eight hundred thousand...... 5,800,000 ...... of the 167th Is there a higher bid...... 5,800,000 one-time ...... Oh...... Five million nine million...... 5,900,000 ...... of 188 Oh over there...... Million...... Six million ...... of the 285th Six million one-time ...... Are there any contenders...... Could it be that a set of colorful December flower god cups that have never appeared on the market are only worth this price...... Oh...... There...... Six million and one million......"

At this time, Yan Wanru looked over with a smile and patted my hand gently: "The momentum is not bad." ”

I wiped the sweat from my forehead, "I hope it can reach the price you said, even if it doesn't work, I'll be satisfied with seven million." ”

Brother Jin on the other end raised his card again.

The auctioneer's mood was high: "Six and three hundred thousand...... 6,300,000 one-time ...... Is there still ...... Is there still ...... Eh...... 6,400,000 ...... of the 367th Oh...... Six hundred ......," his arm pointed to the number plates raised in three places in quick succession, "...... 6,700,000 ......"

An unfamiliar face suddenly shouted, "Seven million! ”

My heart is in my throat, higher, higher.

"Don't be so nervous." Yan Wanru touched my hair: "Don't worry, seven and a half million will definitely be fine." ”

I flickered slightly: "Are you so sure?" ”

"Of course." After that, under my stunned gaze, Yan Wanru raised the No. 567 sign in her right hand: "...... Seven and a half million! ”
