At 2:25, there was a knock on the door of the private room, "Come in" As Li Hua's voice sounded, the door of the private room was pushed open, and a thin old man about sixty years old came in, "Li Shao, the time is up, do you see if it's time for us to pass." ”

"Master Wang, I said it, you don't have to be so polite to me." Li Hua was very respectful of this person between his words, stood up, and introduced to Xiao Rong: "Brother Xiao, this is Master Wang, an antique expert, a well-known figure in the circle, known as 'Ghost Eye' Wang San'er. There are a lot of old things at today's auction, and I specially asked Master Wang to help me palm my eyes. Master Wang, this is my Brother Xiao, let's go to the auction to have fun. ”

"Li Shao praised it, but he didn't dare to be old, just give you a staff officer." Master Wang was modest for a few sentences and smiled at Xiao Rong: "I've seen Xiao Shao." ”

"Don't, I'm not a big boy, you still call me Xiao Rong." Xiao Rong hurriedly waved his hand.

Master Wang was stunned, originally he heard Li Hua call Xiao Rong Brother Xiao, and thought that Xiao Rong was the son of which family, and he would be wrong to see this situation, but he also understood people, so he didn't dare to ask more, so he changed his words: "Yes, Mr. Xiao, Wang is abrupt." ”

Li Hua waved his hand: "Okay, don't be polite, let's go." After speaking, he took the lead and walked out of the city.

Upstairs, there is a magnificent hall, carved dragons and phoenixes, extremely luxurious. On the north side of the hall there is a rostrum with a sandalwood square table next to it and an antique cabinet next to it. There were already one or twenty people in the hall, chatting in twos and threes, and when they saw the three people coming in, they got up one after another.

"Li Shao, hello."

"Li Shao, you're here too."

"Li Shao,............"

Li Hua nodded in response, didn't say much, and led the two of them straight to the front row to sit down, and someone served hot fragrant tea.

As soon as he sat down, Xiao Rong didn't have time to carefully look at the decoration of the hall, a person walked up to the rostrum, came to the center, and said: "Friends, let everyone wait for a long time, I am the auctioneer of this auction, this auction starts now, please take the first lot." ”

As soon as the words fell, someone carefully took out a porcelain vase from the cabinet and gently placed it on the table. The porcelain vase is covered with blue and white ornaments, and the blue and white flowers are purple. The main body is decorated with blue and white cloud dragon pattern, the dragon is four claws, well-preserved, the flower surface is blue pattern, beautiful and beautiful, clear and elegant.

"The first lot in a few days is this blue and white dragon pattern plum vase, the old rule, if you like friends, you can come up and appreciate it, ten minutes, look at it first and then shoot."

As soon as his voice fell, a few people who were interested in the plum bottle took out gloves, magnifying glasses and other tools and went up to look at them carefully. Master Wang looked at Li Hua and saw that he didn't say anything, so he sat down again and drank tea.

"Why, don't you like this thing?" Xiao Rong said with a smile.

"Actually, I don't know anything about it, mainly because my grandfather likes it." Li Hua explained: "I came here to buy a new gadget for his old man, and he has a pair of plum bottles." ”

"I can't see it, you're still a filial son."

Xiao Rong didn't understand antiques either, he got bored after watching it for a while, and was embarrassed to say that he left halfway, so he waited patiently for a while, and saw that the auction was not over yet, and one by one the lots were constantly taken out of the cabinet, and he couldn't help but sneer: "How many things are in this cabinet, it's not over yet." ”

Thinking of this, Xiao Rong suddenly remembered that after three months of training, while increasing the strength of his body, his ability had also increased, and now the perspective distance had increased from the original five meters to about ten meters. Because they are now sitting in the first row, seven or eight meters away from the cabinet on the table, it is better to see through to see how many things are still inside.

If you want to do it, Xiao Rong leaned back on the sofa, his eyes narrowed slightly, and others thought that he was tired and wanted to take a rest. With a thought, he activated the perspective function to look at the cabinet, and slowly, his eyes passed through the cabinet and saw one, two, three, four, four, and four.

Two pieces of jade, one piece of porcelain, and a painting, Xiao Rong was satisfied and was about to withdraw the ability, well, wait, there seems to be something, and then turn the ability back, and look at it carefully, no, just four.

"What's going on, it really felt like there was something else just now." Xiao Rong frowned, and thought in his heart: "What did you neglect............ That painting, by the way, the feeling just now came when I was looking at that painting. ”

Xiao Rong hurriedly mobilized his ability again to look at the painting, and slowly went deeper into perspective, one point, two points...... There is, white and flawless, a white jade wrench, lying quietly in one end of the scroll below the painting.

"It seems that it was hidden by the predecessors, and it is so hidden, it should be a treasure, I don't know how much the painting is worth, and if it is photographed, it should be sent out." Xiao Rong secretly thought in his heart: "No matter, if it's too expensive, let Li Hua take it, you can't let the baby slip away from your hand." ”

Xiao Rong was thinking here, but he heard the auctioneer shouting: "The next lot, Zhao Zuo's "Spring Rain Mountain Map" in the Ming Dynasty, because it is an ancient painting, so you can come forward to appreciate it, so please don't get started." ”

The person next to him took out the painting as he spoke, carefully unfolded it on the table, and waited for everyone to come forward to admire it.

At this time, Li Hua nodded to Master Wang, and Master Wang understood and got up and walked onto the stage. Xiao Rong got up and followed Master Wang to the stage under his concern, Li Hua was stunned when he saw this, and hurriedly followed.

Master Wang was also a little surprised to see the two of them coming to the stage, but he didn't say anything, and took out a magnifying glass to watch carefully.

Xiao Rong and Li Hua also looked at the ancient painting, but they only knew that Lu Dao was just a landscape painting, and they couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and finally waited until Master Wang finished reading it before they stepped down and returned to their seats together.

During the entire auction, Xiao Rong was absent-minded, but he paid special attention to this painting, Li Hua knew that there must be a reason, so as soon as he sat down, he asked: "Master Wang, what kind of painting is this, can you introduce it?" ”

"It's good, this is Zhao Zuo's "Spring Rain Mountain Map" in the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Zuo, the character Wendu. Ming Wanli, Chongzhen Shihua Pavilion, now Shanghai Songjiang people, good at landscapes. Zhao Zuo and Dong Qichang are close friends of Hanmo, and have a long-term relationship with Dong in calligraphy and painting, and are one of the most important ghostwriters of Dong's paintings. The landscapes painted, the scenery is complex, the brush and ink are thick and dark, dry and wet are intertwined, the changes are rich, and the style is delicate and ingenious. On painting, it is advocated that in order to obtain the momentum of the object and image of the painting, the situation should be staggered and not chaotic. The "Su Song faction" is its first creation. This "Spring Rain in the Mountains" is one of Zhao Zuo's more famous works. “

Master Wang said this: "It's a pity that this painting is not genuine, it should be an imitation of the Republic of China, and the imitation is okay, but it can't be hidden from connoisseurs." ”

"Imitation, what's it worth?" Xiao Rong asked.

Master Wang glanced at Xiao Rong strangely, frowned, and said: "After all, it is from the Republic of China, and it can be regarded as an old object, worth eight thousand, but the people who come here should not look down on this kind of goods, and probably no one will make a move." ”

"Eight thousand?" Xiao Rong said in his heart: "It's not expensive, buddy, this can be regarded as a leak." ”

Sure enough, as Master Wang said, no matter how the auctioneer instigates on the stage, there is no one to bid. The people who came to the auction were all knowledgeable, and people like Li Hua also brought connoisseurs, after all, no one wanted to buy a fake back, even if it wasn't bad for money, it was laughed at. For many people, face is much more important than money.

"By the way, why don't there be auction reserve prices for things here?" Xiao Rong found a problem and turned his head to ask.

"Yes, the auction here is unreserved, it's all up to your own eyes, and it's a pleasure. If you buy a fake at a high price, you can't trouble the organizers, and you will become a laughing stock; You have the ability to pick up the leaks at a low price, but if the organizer is not satisfied with the price, it will also arrange someone to block the bid, and there are people arranged by the organizer here. Li Hua explained to Xiao Rong in a low voice.

"Oh, I see." Xiao Rong was talking to Li Hua while paying attention to the movement on the stage.

At this time, the auctioneer shouted again and again, seeing that no one had made a move, and was about to announce the failure of the auction, when a voice suddenly sounded in the front row: "Wait, since no one has made a move, I want 10,000 yuan." It was Xiao Rong who spoke.

Seeing this, the auctioneer was overjoyed, and hurriedly cheered up and shouted: "This gentleman bid 10,000, is there more than 10,000?" Is there more than 10,000? ”

Everyone in the audience was stunned, where did such a person come from, although 10,000 yuan is not expensive, but how could someone who can come here buy such a thing, and they don't have to lose their identity. A few of them were about to open their mouths to laugh, but when they saw this person sitting side by side with Li Shao, they were very affectionate, and they all closed their mouths, obediently, but don't try to be happy for a while, offend Li Shao, and die without knowing what to die for.

"10,000 yuan for the first time, 10,000 yuan for the second time, 10,000 yuan for the third time, the deal, congratulations to this gentleman, this "Spring Rain Mountain Map" is yours." The auctioneer knows in his heart, the organizer of this picture has long known that the road is fake, and he took it out to try his luck, but he didn't expect it to be almost unsold, and now someone is bidding and not hurrying to make a move, anyway, the capital is recovered, and a little money is made.

"Brother Xiao, why are you filming such a thing? If you like ancient paintings, I'll give you a good picture, and this thing will make people laugh. Li Hua asked puzzled.

"I have a point, go back and talk about it, it's inconvenient here." Xiao Rong glanced at Li Hua and said in a low voice.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go." Li Hua didn't care if it was over or not, he stood up and left. He had just taken a picture of an ancient jade brush wash from the Han Dynasty, and the task of this trip had been completed. At this time, curiosity is together, where to care about being polite or impolite. Seeing this, Xiao Rong and Master Wang could only leave with him.
