At this moment, there were already a lot of people sitting in this auction hall, and after Chen Le glanced at the crowd in the hall, he found a back seat and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, Zeng Xihua also sat next to him.

"Miss Zeng, don't you go to the box above?" Chen Le wondered a little in his heart, what did he do with him?

"The box above is too stuffy, they are all elders in some families, usually too serious, how good it is for me to sit here and talk to you." Zeng Xihua smiled.

Chen Le glanced at her, and said in his heart that you would be so kind to accompany me? I'm afraid you know I'm penniless and want to see me make a fool of myself here, right? However, I didn't plan to buy anything originally, just to see the excitement, I'm afraid it will disappoint Miss Zeng.

He smiled silently, looking pampered and not shocked, but in the eyes of Zeng Xihua, it was extremely hateful.

Although there are more people in the main hall, it is not noisy at the moment, even if there is a voice, it is a whisper, and more people close their eyes and wait for the auction to start.

The two of them sat awkwardly like this, and it wasn't until half an hour later that a thick middle-aged male voice came from the hall: "When the time comes, close the pavilion door and open the auction!" ”

Chen Le nodded slightly when he heard this, it turned out that after the auction of this golden building began, the entire building would be closed, but this would not be bad, and it would not wait to avoid being disturbed.

On the wide round platform, a man walked steadily from behind, a man about forty years old, with a square face, a swallow hair under his chin, wearing a black silk robe, his hair was neatly combed, and it seemed to be smeared with osmanthus oil, which looked shiny, and his whole body revealed shrewdness and ability.

This person walked to the back of a jade table on the round platform, and then saluted with fists to the four sides: "Say hello to all the distinguished guests, please introduce yourself below, some of the distinguished guests present know me, some don't know, it doesn't matter if you don't know me, you can see me when you often come to the Wanbao Pavilion in Daliang City in the future, I am the big shopkeeper of this Wanbao Pavilion, the cheap name is Cao Renli, and I will preside over this auction today." ”

After Cao Renli finished speaking, there was silence below, only to see him smile slightly, and then the void hugged his fist behind him, and continued: "Thank you for the trust of the owner, Renli will not disgrace his mission!" ”

This salute is to worship the big boss of the Golden Building behind him, and everyone who has participated in the auction knows this rule, and they are not surprised, but Chen Le doesn't know it, and he frowned slightly when he saw this.

Zeng Xihua on the side saw his question, and immediately whispered to him about the rules of this auction......

At this moment, in a private room above the hall, a graceful old man was sitting there peacefully, and two people stood behind him, one with a white face and a white robe with a sword hanging from his waist, and the other with a black face and a black robe with a saber at his waist.

This old man is none other than the old man of the Zeng family who gave Chen Le's famous post, and the grandfather who cherished the painting.

"What Chen Qingzhi did yesterday is very much in line with my heart, repay virtue with virtue, repay grievances with straightforwardness, the gentleman should be like this, by the way, thirteen, the painting is downstairs with this kid?"

The man in white behind him hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Yes, Master, I have already investigated clearly, this Chen Qingzhi accidentally got a token that was left out yesterday, so when he came here today, he met Miss Xihua in front of the door of Wanbao Pavilion, and then entered the building together." ”

"Mistakenly? This Chen Qingzhi is lucky! ”

"Yes, and in addition to bows and arrows, his fists and feet should also be good!"

"He is a generalist in civil and military affairs, and the most important thing is that he is not rigid and knows how to be flexible...... By the way, Thirteen, can you investigate the background of this young man? ”

"Master Hui, this Chen Qingzhi is the only son of a small merchant family in Qi State, because of his talent, he was sent to the school palace to study at the age of twelve!"

"The only son of a small merchant family? Talented? The old man fell silent.

At this time, Cao Renli's voice came from downstairs again: "Thank you for your support, today's auction conference is officially opened!" ”

"Thirteen, open the curtains!" The old man said lightly, there was a trace of doubt on his face, and he seemed to be a little suspicious that Chen Le was from a small merchant family.

On the stage, Cao Renli shouted loudly: "Please first treasure!" ”

As his words fell, four girls wearing red satin skirts and combing double buns came out of the backstage, each girl was born beautiful, with a sweet smile, holding a white jade plate in her hand.

"This first treasure is a set of utensils, readers say that the four treasures of the study, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, this first treasure contains pen and ink inkstone, but there is no rice paper, there is an extra pen wash, it is a pen and ink inkstone, a set of these four things, not a separate auction."

The four girls put the plate in their hands on the jade table, opened the red cloth on it, and then Cao Renli continued: "Now let me introduce to you the origin of this set of utensils, this set of utensils is almost all from the hands of the master, it is a rare treasure in the study, even one or two of them are extremely difficult to obtain. ”

"Distinguished guests, please look at this pen, the pen tube of this pen is made of Wolf Mountain purple light bamboo, the pen is the hair under the jaw of the tiger, made by the pen master Bi Fangzi a hundred years ago, it is one of the ten famous pens made by him before sealing the technique in his later years, called Purple Tiger Hair!"

"Ah, it turns out that this is Zihuhao? I've seen about this pen in a book before, didn't it say that it was collected by the royal family? ”

"I don't know about this, but the Golden Building said that this is the Purple Tiger Hair, so it must be the real Purple Tiger Hair!"

"This one is still brand new, it seems that there are very few works handed down by Master Bi Fangzi that have not been stained with ink, right?"

"Good pen, good pen, I've always wanted a good pen, I'm bound to get this pen!"

"Why are you in a hurry, listen to it first, and see what the other three things are!"

Cao Renli waited for the noise below to get lower, and then looked at the piece in front of him that was half a foot square, carved with various complex patterns of ink and said: "This piece of ink, is the Daishan ink that has long been extinct, Daishan has ceased to exist for thousands of years, so Daishan ink in this world is a piece of less, such a large ink, it can be said that there is no one in today's world, the carving on this ink also has a history, and there is the name of the craftsman below, which is made by Master Mo Shenglu, which can be called a peerless treasure." ”

"What, it's actually Dai Shanmo? Doesn't it mean that there is no Daishan Mo in the world for a long time? ”

"I also heard that this Daishan ink has become extinct outside, even the kings of the vassal countries may not have it, maybe there will be one or two pieces in the palace, right?"

"This ink is the old man's favorite, such a large piece of Daishan ink, I don't know how much it will cost?"

"I remember that many years ago, there was a piece of Daishan ink that was half smaller than this was born, and it was sold for three thousand taels of silver at that time, and now this piece is probably going to multiply several times, right?"

"No matter how much money it is, this piece of Daishan Mo is bound to get his hands on it!"
