[033] Auction house
Unlike Millions, Shen You and Luo Feng have been wandering around the Quancheng City area recently. The reason is very simple, Su Qingqian learned from Zhuye Qingzou Qingmei that at this time of year, the Gude Auction House in Quancheng always holds a large-scale auction.
Shen You also learned about the situation of the Gude Auction House from hundreds of thousands, and the Gude Auction House is said to have been a pawnshop at the beginning, and in the early stage of the Westernization Movement, a foreigner reached an agreement with the local government of Quancheng at that time, and took over by half-buy and half-give. It is said that when the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China, the Goode Auction House also played a role in reloading domestic antiquities.
According to millions of people, the Goode Auction House has also been transformed into an authentic and very famous collection and appreciation center after the founding of New China. With the development of society, Gude Auction House also adheres to the principle of "faith", and at the same time has made good friends with many major trends, and has become one of the top collectors and connoisseurs in China in recent years.
The exhibition and auction can be said to be the characteristic of the Gude Auction House, the exhibition is not auctioned, and there is also the meaning of testing the price, while the auction is much simpler, that is, the collection is presented, and the highest price wins.
Originally, Shen You didn't care, but then he suddenly moved, of course, he wasn't interested in the things auctioned, he just wanted to see what was hidden behind the things in his hand.
Is it a jade piece or an inkstone?
Shen You thought about it for a long time, and finally took out a jade piece. He himself knew that there must be someone interested in the jade slices, and it could be seen from the fact that someone in Yanhai City intercepted Lu Fang to ask for the jade slices at that time, although it was not ordinary.
What's more, Shang Yingying, the old fire general of Qianmen, also once told him about the treasure of jade tablets, as for the inkstone, even the old fire general of Qianmen never told him, although he didn't tell others, subconsciously he felt that maybe this was Lu Tianxing's relic.
The current owner of Gude Auction House is called Long Bodhi, a middle-aged hardcover man in his forties, and the years have not carved the slightest wrinkle on his face, there is no sleek sophistication, and some are just capable.
Dressed in a well-tailored Tang costume, the essence in his eyes burst out, and at this moment he was sitting in the Gude Auction House, slightly nervously accompanying Shen You.
Don't talk about the origin of the jade piece, just talk about the time of the jade piece, which is also an antique, and when the master of the auction house passed the news of the jade piece to him, he couldn't help but pay no attention to it.
Not far from their seats, three old men with white beards were carefully passing back and forth to observe the jade piece, they were wearing white silk gloves, passing back and forth, watching carefully, making eye contact with each other, and finally, one of them nodded solemnly.
The old man walked over slowly, handed Shen You with both hands very reverently, and asked softly: "The Bodhisattva has several mountains in front of the door, which line does the brother come from?" ”
Shen You was stunned for a moment, he knew from the millions that the Dao Gude Auction House might have intersections with many rivers and lakes, but he didn't expect that such a master who looked at antiques would actually open his mouth to talk nonsense.
"The predecessors are more benevolent, and the first person under the Yushen sect." Shen You said softly.
Sure enough, after listening to his words, the old master breathed a long sigh of relief, and then asked: "Penglai is surrounded by auspicious clouds in all directions, dare to ask whether to cultivate immortals or to find?" ”
This sentence is more straightforward, after all, Shen You did not hide his identity, the Qianmen worships Dayu as the ancestor, and he also directly pointed out that he is the identity of the first person under the Yushen Sect. So the old man asked him if he was here to simply have fun or to use his means to worship the mountain gate, although it was not abrupt directly.
Shen You naturally wouldn't say this sentence casually, according to what he meant, this jade piece was thrown out, mainly to see how precious he was and what kind of power he wanted to get, of course, it was not ruled out that he might use the jade piece to start a thousand games in the later stage.
Immediately, Shen You said very solemnly: "Senior, I don't know if the jade piece of Lu Dao appears, can the auction house take care of it?" ”
Before the master could speak, Long Bodhi nodded directly and said, "Brother, don't worry, any object that comes to our auction house will definitely follow the master's heart." ”
Shen You smiled and nodded, but did not speak. When he came to the Gude Auction House this time, he naturally didn't use his original face, and the human skin mask that had been treasured for many years was handed over to him, and the originally handsome young man suddenly turned into a middle-aged man in his 30s with a little jujube red.
After Long Bodhi finished speaking, the old master also nodded, signaling Shen You to rest assured.
Because Shen You's object belongs to the ranks of the exhibition, according to the rules of the Goode Auction House, ordinary objects can be placed in the glass covers on both sides of the corridor where they enter the auction house, and of course, there is also the theory that the most dear will come to the stage for valuation.
Shen You chose the latter, according to the rules, he could hold it until the moment he came to the stage to appraise. According to what Shen You thought in his heart, with his current kung fu, even if he couldn't be invincible, at least he would have to escape without worry.
Three days later, in the backyard hall of the Goode auction house. Many people walked along the corridor of the exhibition one by one, and all kinds of precious jade ancient kiln calligraphy and paintings were a little amazing at first, but after reaching the most luan, they were accustomed to it.
After arriving in the backyard hall, there has basically been a strict screening of personnel, no matter how powerful you are, but when you get to the Goode Auction House, you can either choose not to enter, but to enter, you must follow his rules.
And the rules of the backyard hall are also very simple, there are only two representatives in a family, even if you are a prominent family with a lot of money and a group of entourage bodyguards, but when you get here, only two people can enter.
Of course, the Goode Auction House absolutely guarantees the safety of people entering the hall, in fact, from the beginning of entering the door, there have been 3 layers of security, not to mention guns and ammunition, even knives are not allowed to enter.
Shen You didn't enter with Luo Feng, but stood behind Luo Feng with a shiny and shiny head, wearing a suit that was not dazzling in the crowd, bowing his head, and looking like a follower.
In the center of the backyard hall is a booth in which the auctioneer stands, surrounded by 10 small partitions, three in the south, east and west, where people with a slight status will enter, while others can only sit in the seats further back.
In the northernmost area of the booth, there is a person like Shen You who exhibits treasures, although there is also a partition over there, but Shen You knows that it is the staff of Gude Auction House.
In the entire backyard, there are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and the security is very tight.
After entering, he poked Luo Feng gently, and Luo Feng naturally understood, and the two of them approached the corner and sat down.
According to the previous arrangement, the two people were mainly observing. In addition to observing the potential of all parties, it is more important to observe who is interested in Shen You after he takes out the jade tablet.
Because the people in the partition from 1 to 9 are distinguished guests, and those people have been here for the collection from the beginning, so naturally they don't care about the exhibits in the corridor, or they have already arranged for their families or little brothers to be in charge of these things.
Bai Wan gently glanced at the few familiar faces sitting in the chair like him, and naturally understood that few people could know him.
According to the inheritance of several factions, he may focus on observing the major families or young people with outstanding power, but with the gradual disintegration of the power of the rivers and lakes, the rupture of the inheritance of the gang, except for a few more outstanding ones, he may not have paid attention to it for a long time.
After all, now many inheritances have been over-commercialized and thrown into the ranks of a lot of ticket grabbers, perhaps many inheritances are broken, and they are directly over-the-top to black gangs that mainly smash and slash behind their backs.
At this time, a bell rang. Then an old man in a white Tai Chi suit walked up, and Shen You saw that it was the old man who showed him jade tablets that day and asked him with a cut in the rivers and lakes.
But what is different from his indifference is the millions, after seeing the old man, the body of the millions was obviously shocked, the old man was slightly older than his age, and he was the brother of the previous boss of the Gude auction house.
This identity alone is not enough to shock millions of people, according to his understanding, this old man should be the descendant of the Lotus Fist.
It is rumored that the Lotus Fist originated from the Beggar Gang, and the Beggar Gang had five major factions: Fan Wu, Li Suozhu, and Zhu. Fan is said to be derived from the beggar ancestor Fan Dan, who once had a meal for Confucius, and Wu is Wu Zixu in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Li is the Empress Li of the Song Dynasty Emperor Renzong Emperor in the era of the tanuki for the prince, it is said that he lived among the people and was sheltered by a group of beggars, Zhu is the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang, and Suo is a beggar surnamed Suo who has a life-saving grace for Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang allowed him to beg in 13 provinces, and later set up his own door.
And no matter which faction it is, it has the Lotus Fist to protect itself, but the development of each faction is different. However, with the founding of the People's Republic of China, the beggar gang also gradually evolved, and many beggars were not the earliest beggars, and many of the same beggars gradually moved closer to all walks of life and broke away from the beggar gangs.
The old man's name was Suo Bingying.
After Suo Bing came to the stage, there was a slight sound of surprise in the No. 1 and No. 2 private rooms. Obviously, there are people in the private room who know that the old guy has an extraordinary background, and when he came to the stage, he obviously guessed that there would definitely be a big move in this exhibition.
Shen You, who was sitting in the north side of the stand with a human skin mask, obviously guessed the old man's meaning, after the old man knew that he was the main general of the Thousand Sects, he naturally also knew that the jade piece of Lu Dao had an extraordinary origin, and he was afraid that some people would see the jade piece and cause unnecessary disputes.
Suo Bingying said softly: "I will host this exhibition, and the highest price of the auctioned items will be awarded, and the exhibited items can be exchanged privately." ”
As he spoke, the hall, which was still a little noisy, suddenly fell silent.
And the millions of people in the corner were also shocked, naturally he could think that the items that could call Suo Bing out of the mountain must be treasures, and nine times out of ten they had something to do with the jade piece in Shen You's hand.
He couldn't guess what Shen You was thinking in his heart, Su Qingqian's Uni bar was developing well, and he came to Quancheng mainly for Zeng Hu, and when he was not moving forward, what was he doing when he took out this piece of jade that provoked right and wrong?
