Accompanied by Father-in-law Qin, the vase was observed very quickly, and it didn't take long to arrive at their box. Father-in-law Qin came in and saluted first, and then said with a smile: "This porcelain is fragile, please be considerate, it's best not to touch it, everyone has to look, ask the little guy to turn it for everyone." ”

The little guy first showed the old man sitting in the middle, and when he waved his hand, he walked left and right again, so that everyone could see the vase he was holding. In the process, he will turn the vase in his hand and let everyone see the strangeness of the vase.

Everyone saw it clearly, and they were all amazed.

It was Kang Yannian, who lacked interest before, who was also excited at this time, and sighed: "Ingenuity, ingenuity." ”

Gong Cheng is a technical nerd, and he can't wait to dismantle the two bottles and study them to see the mechanisms and practices inside.

The man named Xu Zhou on the stage can say that in order to express his friendship with his wife, the two porcelain vases inside and outside are made together and put into the kiln to be fired together, in addition to the meaning of "change of heart", there is also the meaning of "husband and wife are concentric".

But if you don't get started, just look at it like this, and he doesn't see anything at all.

This vase is so novel, and there is only one outside the palace, Gong Cheng also knows that his own assets and strength are not enough to compete with others.

He had to sigh regretfully: "I wonder if the descendants of that craftsman can also make this kind of porcelain." ”

"Didn't the second senior brother listen to what Xu Zhou said just now? There is no one to make this vase. ”

Xu Zhou just said that the craftsman lived in the previous dynasty and had been dead for many years. Their descendants experienced the war, had no livelihood, and were unable to protect the two vases, for fear of being broken in the flight, so they sold the two vases they treasured to others. By chance, the vase appeared at auction.

Although I don't know if this story is true or not, Xu Zhou dares to say this, thinking that it is impossible for that craftsman to create a heart turning bottle again, otherwise wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the fifth prince?

Gong Cheng also understood this truth and couldn't help sighing.

As they spoke, Grandpa Qin and Xiao Gang had already walked downstairs and went downstairs to show the guests.

The gap between the rows of seats and the seats below is still quite large, and it is very convenient to sit up and walk, and it is not crowded when Father-in-law Qin and the little maid walk in rows. They don't stop for a while, like they do in a box. Below, they all walked slowly at a uniform speed, and the little guy turned the outer bottle in his hand, so that the guests could see the exquisiteness and magic of the vase.

After walking a few laps, the two arrived on stage.

"Alright, we're now officially auctioning off the vase. Auctioneer Guan Wentao is invited. ”

A couple of small servants moved to an auction table, followed by a thin middle-aged man.

He saluted everyone: "In Xiaguan Wentao, today's auction is presided over by Xiaxia." ”

As he spoke, he stood in front of the auction table, picked up a small hammer and struck at the drum inlaid on it: "A pastel hollow 'Four Seasons Landscape' turn-heart bottle in the front court, the reserve price is three thousand taels, and everyone must bid no less than one hundred taels each time." Start bidding now! As he spoke, he struck the drum vigorously.

There was silence for a while.

Zhao Ruxi had already anticipated this situation, and hurriedly recruited the little guy at the door to come in: "Three thousand three hundred taels." ”

The little guy nodded and ran out quickly.

Kang Jinlin asked the little apprentice in surprise: "Do you like this bottle?" ”

Zhao Ruxi smiled: "I like it." But I'll just quote a price, and I guess it will be surpassed soon. If I can't buy it at this price, I won't buy it. ”

Where does she want this bottle, it is nothing more than to help Xiao Lingyan and be a childcare, so as not to let the auction be cold.

That guy is not stupid, he must have arranged it. Not to mention anything else, the officials of the second prince and the first family will definitely make a move to speculate the price. But what she can do is help.

She smiled at everyone: "If you think you like it, you can also participate, it's fun anyway." If you buy it at this price, you won't lose anything, and if you can't buy it, you won't lose anything. ”

When Gong Cheng heard this, he looked at Zhao Ruxi and was eager to try: "If the price I quoted is higher than yours, and I buy it, isn't the little junior sister angry?" ”

Zhao Ruxi shrugged: "How can you be angry?" The one with the highest price wins. Besides, if the second senior brother buys it, it's still okay to borrow it from me for a while, right? ”

"That's nature."

As Gong Cheng spoke, he beckoned the messenger to come over and said, "The price is three thousand five hundred taels." ”

The little guy was embarrassed: "This master, the price below has been quoted to three thousand six hundred taels." ”

As soon as everyone heard it, the following was really quoting, and at this time, two little guys happened to speak at the same time: "Three thousand eight hundred taels." ”

"Three thousand seven hundred taels."

Guan Wentao on the stage quickly interjected at the right time: "The higher price shall prevail." If the card is not raised in front but the price is lower than the quotation, the small guy does not have to quote again. ”

The scene stalled slightly, but after a while, the little guy ran again.

"Three thousand nine hundred taels."

"Four thousand taels."

Zhao Ruxi saw that the offer below was enthusiastic, and put his heart back in his stomach.

Seeing Gong Cheng looking at the audience, his expression was dull, and he couldn't help asking, "Lord Gong, do you still want to make a offer?" ”

Gong Cheng thought for a while: "Four thousand five hundred taels." "If there is no such price, it is estimated that the little guy has not run over there yet, and the price has already been exceeded.

"Master Gong, wait a minute." Before the little servant could finish speaking, the man had already rushed out of the door.

Sure enough, at this time, the quotation soared up again: "Four thousand two hundred taels." ”

"Four thousand three hundred taels."

Finally, the eleventh who represented their box held up: "Four thousand five hundred taels." ”

Gong Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had completed the task, with a relaxed and happy smile on his face. Even if his offer was quickly surpassed by the "four thousand seven hundred taels" behind, there was no trace of frustration on his face.

Zhao Ruxi couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

The second senior brother looked at the honest man, but he didn't expect it to be a wonderful person.

After laughing, she opened her mouth and asked, "Second Senior Brother, how much silver do you think this heart-turning bottle is worth at the market price?" ”

The reason why the modern auction of the heart bottle was sold at a sky-high price is because it is an antique of the Qing Dynasty and the emperor's royal use, and the added value is very high. She didn't know what such a vase would have cost in ancient times.

Gong Cheng thought for a while and said, "I saw it just now, the texture of this vase is white and delicate, the fetal quality is transparent and thin, the glaze is bright, and the lines are smooth and perfect. Such porcelain can only come from the hands of porcelain masters. With such a texture, and then there is a novel center-turning shape, it is the only porcelain of this shape in the world, and the other one has been dedicated to the palace, and in normal times, it can also be sold for five or six thousand taels of silver. ”

He pointed downstairs: "Now put it up for auction here, if you meet two or three people you like or don't deal with, you can fry it up to seven or eight thousand or even higher." ”

As soon as they spoke, the price quoted downstairs had been reported to 5,700 taels, and then it had reached 6,200 taels.
