Meng Xue's carefulness touched me very much, she said that she would get me home remedies when I drank coffee last night, I didn't pay much attention to it, I thought the other party just said it casually, I didn't expect people to really get it.

Early the next morning, I received a call from Da Mou, who said that he had put the plaster at the doorman of the community where I lived and asked me to pick it up myself. When I went to the doorman, there was a plastic bag on the table, and a note was pasted on it, with the words "Chen Yang Collecting" written on it. When I opened the bag, I saw that there were ten plasters inside, exuding a strong smell of medicine.

I opened WeChat and sent a sentence to Meng Xue: I received the home remedies, thank you very much for Manager Meng's concern.

I took home the home remedies, took out one and pasted it on the sore spot in my right arm, and went out. On the first day, I went to the sunflower auction house to report, and it was not good to go late.

The address was sent to me by Zhao Yushan last night, and he called him when he arrived.

According to the WeChat address, I found Sunflower Auction House, on the second floor of China Resources Business Center, the most prosperous city center in Ningzhou City.

Words, dragons fly and phoenixes dance, and the shots are extraordinary. There are a few small words below: Zhao Punan.

I was taken aback. It turned out to be an inscription by Zhao Punan.

Zhao Punan used to be the chairman of the Ningzhou Calligraphy Association, and his calligraphy level is the best in China. Nowadays, calligraphers are everywhere, they can write a few brush characters, and after a little processing and packaging, they become calligraphers, in fact, these people are nothing, just a group of swaggering and fraudulent hooligans. Zhao Punan is different, this person is a real master, and his calligraphy level is recognized by domestic peers. However, Zhao Punan never gives inscriptions to others, this is a well-known thing, how could he inscribe the sunflower auction house?

Confused, I pushed the door open and entered. As soon as I walked through the door, I felt dazzled by the sight of me. Facing is the auction hall, which is 300 square meters, the background wall is magnificently decorated, in the continental style, and a golden crystal lamp hangs on the ceiling in the center of the hall. The floor is covered with a thick red carpet.

The auction hall alone is enough to compete with the top auction houses in the world.

Zhao Yushan was talking to the two staff members, and when he saw me, he greeted me with a smile on his face: "Mr. Chen, you are finally here, and we can work together again." ”

"Don't call Mr. Chen in the future," I corrected again, "You and I are the same now, and we both work with Yan Hao." Yan Hao is the president. ”

Next, Zhao Yushan took me on a tour of the auction house. Walking to the door of the general manager's office, the room was open, but there was no one inside. Zhao Yushan said: "Mr. Yan took people out to do publicity. It won't be long and should be back soon. ”

I walked into the general manager's office and found the desk familiar. The desk made of rosewood is luxurious, and a dark pattern on the front is faintly flowing in the wood. In the lower left corner of the table is engraved a "Chen" in seal script.

I grew my mouth in surprise. This is the desk I used to use, how did I get here?

When the Hejude Auction House opened, Dunzi sent me half a ton of rosewood from the south, saying that he was too busy to come back, so he sent me sandalwood and asked me to find a good carpenter to make a desk.

After the carpenter found saw half a ton of rosewood, he praised it and said that it was cow-haired rosewood, with slender brown eyes and slightly curved like cow's hair, and its preciousness was second only to Venus rosewood. After the desk was made, I cherished it. Later, the Hejude auction house was closed, and in order to pay off the debt, I had to sell all the valuable things in the auction house at a low price, and the desk made of cow hair rosewood was one of them.

Seeing that my eyes fell on it for a long time and did not take it away, Zhao Yushan explained, "Mr. Yan said that this is something used by old classmates and cannot fall into the hands of others, so he took it back." ”

When I left the general manager's office and visited other places, I was surprised to find that many of the things in the Sunflower Auction House came from Hejude Auction House. For example, the auction table is like a dresser without a mirror, which is simple and practical. The auction table is one and a half meters high, made of nanmu, and the overall shape is unique, such as a wish, implying that the auction is sincere.

I bought this auction table from abroad for 20,000 US dollars, and I later sold it along with other things, and I didn't expect it to appear here like the cow hair rosewood desk.

How so?

I couldn't help but wonder.

Seeing that my expression was wrong, Zhao Yushan said: "Actually, this is the reason why Mr. Yan asked you to join Sunflower Auction House." After I arrived here from Hejude, Mr. Yan said to me that Chen Yang must be reluctant to give up the closure of Hejude Auction House, he is a person who values feelings, and he will definitely not be willing to give up the things he has used in the past..."

Speaking of this, he took out a cigarette and handed it to me, lit it one by one, and took a leisurely puff, "So, Mr. Yan asked me to inquire who bought the items of Hejude Auction House, and I wanted to try to buy them back." Mr. Yan said that money is not a problem, and classmate friendship is more important than anything else. ”

"Okay now, Brother Chen, you join the Sunflower Auction House, seeing these things is like seeing an old friend, I think, you must be very happy in your heart, right?"

I smiled reluctantly and didn't say anything.

To be honest, I felt very bad at this time. Sunflower Auction House except for the difference between the auction hall and Hejude, the other layouts are basically the same, and the items are basically from Hejude. What's going on?

Zhao Yushan saw that my expression was not quite right, thinking that I was touching the scene, and he said to me in a relieved tone: "The past has been turned over, don't think about the past." To be honest, although I haven't been here for a long time, I found that Yan Hao's old classmate is very good, and he is a person who misses his old love. Brother Chen, your level of antique appraisal is not comparable to ordinary people, you are working here, Yan Hao can't treat you badly. ”

I pondered what Zhao Yushan said, and the more I pondered, the more I felt that it was not like that. Yan Hao and I not only had little intersection when we were in high school, but also emotionally resistant, he was a rich second generation, and I was a poor child from a remote mountainous area. When I heard Yan Hao say "Money is not a problem, classmate friendship is more important than anything else" from Zhao Yushan's mouth just now, I felt that it was too hypocritical, and Zhao Yushan emphasized that Yan Hao was a person who missed old love, which was a bit disgusting.

Of course, after all, I sent people under the fence, I was uncomfortable and couldn't show it, I was about to say something, at this time, Yan Hao walked in from outside, he was holding a painting scroll in his hand, full of spring breeze, beaming with joy. Seeing me, Yan Hao first said that he welcomed me to join the Sunflower Auction House, and then opened the scroll in his hand and said proudly: "I just got an ancient painting, from a certain person in the Ming Dynasty, it is a rare treasure..."

The scroll opens, revealing an ancient painting of a landscape of characters. When I saw it, I was stunned. Isn't this the picture of the peach paradise that I saw at Xia Mingguang's house?

I looked at it again and saw that the ink in the painting was strong and hearty, and the characters were vivid and expressive. The artist's heart is naturally revealed, and the work is full of meaning and tension. It's like a person who has been in the dark for a while, and suddenly comes out, caressed by a cool breeze, making people feel extremely comfortable in their hearts.

It is the "Peach Paradise Map" I saw in Xia Mingguang's villa.

Seeing that I was staring intently at the ancient painting, Yan Hao asked, "Chen Yang, you won't have seen this painting anywhere, right?" ”

"Oh,"

After a moment's pause, I immediately denied it, "No." First time seeing. ”

Early the day before yesterday, the painting was still at Xia Mingguang's house, and it arrived in Yan Hao's hands the next day, and there must be something strange in it. I can't be too realistic, I won't be stupid enough to say I've seen this painting.

"Haha!" Yan Hao couldn't hide the smugness on his face, "It's a leak today." Let me tell you the truth, the name of this painting is Taoyuan Wonderland, from the hands of famous artists in the Ming Dynasty, you see..."

He stretched out his hand and pointed at the painting, "The author's pen and ink are superb, and his skills are extraordinary, really... Well drawn. ”

It can be seen that Yan Hao originally wanted to use a series of words to describe this ancient painting, but he is obviously a layman, except for the sentence "superb brushwork and extraordinary skills", there is only one "good" left.

Zhao Yushan is a jewelry appraiser, and he is good at identifying jewelry, but he is not good at ancient paintings. It's not that he's not in a good position, after all, he came out of the School of Archaeology, and the so-called not being in the line is comparatively speaking.

"Hmm,"

Zhao Yushan nodded very similarly and praised, "This painting as a whole looks round and thick, the rhythm is distinct, and the author's pen is strong, not an ordinary hand." ”

"Chen Yang, what do you think of this painting?" Yan Hao suddenly turned his head to look at me.
