"The painting is very good, but unfortunately there are no inscriptions and seals..."

As soon as the words came out, I found that Yan Hao's face instantly became a little ugly, and then his tone changed, "Of course, the silk paper is thin and evenly thick, and the pen and ink are penetrated into the paper, and this painting is definitely from the hands of a famous artist." ”

I didn't say that this ancient painting was genuine, but that it was made by a famous artist, leaving a way out for myself. As soon as I found out that Yan Hao was so happy, and he thought that this kind of person would not be able to open an auction house. Second, I'm not sure that this ancient painting is genuine. According to the experience of dealing with antiques over the years, the level of science and technology is getting higher and higher, and the antique technology is becoming more and more mature, and now the level of counterfeiting is higher than people can imagine.

So, as an experienced antique connoisseur, I have become more and more cautious, especially after the experience of losing money. Don't just talk nonsense. Until a final conclusion is reached, ambiguity is a clever move.

"You're not exact,"

Yan Hao's tone was proudly corrected, "It is from the hands of famous masters in the Ming Dynasty, I have seen it with experts, this map of Taoyuan Wonderland is worth a lot of money, conservatively speaking, it is worth this amount..."

He held out three fingers, "Three million." ”

Zhao Yushan nodded again and again, "Absolutely, definitely worth three million." ”

"Chen Yang, didn't you say that there is a lack of inscriptions and seals, if there is, it is not a matter of three million, and it is not impossible to add a zero to the end. Ha ha! Yan Hao smiled meaningfully.

"Thirty million?" Zhao Yushan's eyes widened, "My mother, this is too exaggerated, right?" ”

"You don't understand this," Yan Hao glanced at me and said to Zhao Yushan in a tone of lesson, "Who is the most famous painter in the Ming Dynasty?" Of course, it is Tang Bohu, so as long as Tang Bohu's seal appears in this painting, its value is immeasurable, and it will become a rare treasure. ”

"I understand." Zhao Yushan squinted and said, "What does Mr. Yan mean... The painting needs to be processed. ”

"Clever."

I listened to the conversation between the two, and I felt very uncomfortable. I thought that Yan Hao mobilized me to join the Sunflower Auction House to help him grow his eyes, but now that I look at it, it seems that it is not, and he obviously does not trust me. Let's take this peach paradise map, it is said that after he found this painting, he should let me identify it on the spot as soon as possible. And he bought it directly, and just now he didn't agree with my opinion, but said that he had already looked at it with an expert.

In this way, Yan Hao doesn't trust me. That being the case, why did he persuade me to join his auction house at the class reunion yesterday? What else do you say for me to check in the background?

"Chen Yang, today is your first day at the Sunflower Auction House. Let's go, I'll take you to the storeroom. ”

I followed Yan Hao and Zhao Yushan to the warehouse inside, and when I saw it, I was a little surprised. I saw that the warehouse was full of all kinds of items, including all kinds of porcelain, strange old-fashioned furniture, old books, rare books... In short, the warehouse is like a grocery store.

"It's all the things I received," Yan Hao lit a cigar, inhaled slowly, and introduced to me, "Behind everything there is a history, it is not an exaggeration to say that the things in my treasury have been a hodgepodge of history as early as the Shang Dynasty and as late as the Republic of China." ”

I walked over and looked at a few random things, and was even more surprised. All of the things I have seen are genuine, and none of them are fakes or fakes of modern art. For example, there is a beast pattern and a stone lion in the corner of the wall, after my preliminary judgment, the animal pattern is the late Qing Dynasty, and the stone lion is the Ming Dynasty, which are really cultural relics, and their artistic value, historical value and archaeological value are very precious.

"Mr. Yan, are these things sent for auction by others?" I couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Take it for auction? Haha, I won't put it here for auction. I took all these things. Yan Hao patted me on the shoulder, "From now on, this warehouse will be your office." Your job is to appraise and value what is delivered here. How's that, no problem, right? ”

"No problem."

"Good." Yan Hao nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Zhao Yushan, and returned his gaze to me, "Sunflower Auction House attendance is relatively strict, and you are not allowed to leave casually during work." If you want to leave this warehouse, you must ask Zhao Yushan for leave. ”

"Yes." I didn't think much of it.

After Yan Hao and Zhao Yushan left, I fell into thought. The business of an auction house is very simple, that is, to auction off what others have entrusted to auction. The business of Sunflower Auction House doesn't seem to be so simple, as soon as I entered the door, I heard Zhao Yushan say that Yan Hao led people to do publicity, and I don't know what publicity to do. I heard Yan Hao say just now that these things were all received. This sunflower auction house seems to be a... Two dealers.

The Sunflower Auction House left work at 6 p.m., and after work, I rode my bike home. Entering the community, I pushed my bicycle into the carport, and when I pressed the elevator upstairs, I found that the elevator was in a state of maintenance. The property management of this community is really not good, or how cheap is the rent, the elevator often has problems, I live on the 7th floor, and I have to climb the stairs as soon as the elevator is broken, which is really annoying.

When I went up the stairs to the second floor, I saw Tong Mengna struggling to go upstairs with a bag of rice. I hurriedly stepped forward and took the bag of rice in her hand, which was heavy, almost fifty catties.

"No, I'll do it myself." Tong Mengna was embarrassed and reached out to grab the rice bag.

"You think you're stronger than me, do you?" I made a joke.

"That's... I'm sorry for you. Tong Mengna smiled embarrassedly, her red lips opened slightly, the corners of her small mouth were slightly upturned, and her eyes revealed a unique charm of a mature young woman.

I hurriedly avoided the other person's gaze, and walked up the stairs with the rice bag in one hand.

This is my second contact with Tong Mengna. To be honest, although I live on the opposite door, I usually go out early in the morning and come back late at night, so I rarely meet each other.

I only know that Aunt Liu's daughter is divorced, and she brings a three-year-old daughter by herself, and I don't know anything else.

Fifty pounds of rice is very difficult for a woman, but it is a small dish for me, and after physical training in the moving company, my arm strength is much greater than that of ordinary people. Fifty pounds of rice bags are in my hands, and I am at ease.

"Brother Chen, you have so much strength."

Being praised by a woman is a very satisfying thing for a man's vanity, especially when a woman says that you have a lot of strength, and there is an urge to soar hormones.

I smiled, and just as I was about to say something, I suddenly remembered what Aunt Liu said~~ "My girl Monroe is one year younger than Xiao Chen, you are a cow, and she is a rat." My daughter is kind-hearted, good-tempered, and very understanding..."

I didn't care about it at the time, but now that I suddenly think about it, I feel that Aunt Liu seems to have something to say. Bull and rat are a perfect match in marriage, what does Aunt Liu mean by this, did she say it unintentionally, it doesn't seem to be so simple.

If I were a bachelor, Aunt Liu would be easy to understand when she said this, but she knew that I was a person with a wife, and she still said this, which... What's going on?

"Brother Chen, what are you thinking?"

Hearing Tong Mengna's question, my mind came back and I hurriedly said, "Oh, it's okay, I didn't think about anything... Do you live with Aunt Liu now? ”

The light in the corridor is relatively dark, and it is always a little embarrassing for a man and a woman to climb the stairs inside, so I want to say something casually to break the embarrassment.

However, what I didn't expect was that after Tong Mengna listened to my question, her eyes suddenly turned red, and tears swirled in her eyes in an instant.

A woman's mind is the most difficult to guess, and I know that my question just now may touch the other party's heart, so I hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”

"It's okay," Tong Mengna said softly, "The house was occupied by that man, and Panpan and I had no place to live, so we had to live at my mother's house." ”

"That man... Is it your ex-husband? ”

"Yes."

"You... Why Divorce? "Even though I know it's not appropriate to ask, I really want to ask. Such a beautiful and gentle woman is divorced, is that man sick?

In addition, when I went home that night, I heard Aunt Liu scolding "that thick-skinned man" at home, which made me curious, since the marriage was divorced, why did Tong Mengna's ex-husband still come to her?

"He is so good at gambling, his family has been ruined by him," Tong Mengna said angrily, "I have quit many times, but I can't quit, and people often come to the house to collect gambling debts." I was forced to leave him. He occupied the house, and Panpan and I had to leave the house. ”
