Chapter 62: Antique Auction

The scene of this kind of auction is more like a business field, Yang Yinglin only felt it after she came in, and she saw this posture as a rise in knowledge, and secretly thought that she underestimated Xing Zhao, the first two times, shouted every day that she was born weak, and the five elements lacked gold to let Yang Yinglin help him accumulate yang energy, which made her forget that Xing Zhao was also on the economic page and did the annual economic interview, maybe everyone has weaknesses, and Xing Zhao's little weakness is that he is exposed in front of him, and he came to this kind of occasion, As soon as Xing Zhao came in, he was like a fish in water, the son of the Xing family, the future heir, the Xing family's family business was no worse than Zhou Xuran's Zhou family's industry, and his aura was two meters eight in an instant, and he was familiar with all kinds of characters.

Xing Zhao is also a figure in the business field, businessmen are naturally interest-oriented, when he came in just now, he could still have a little mind to take this little friend who has just entered the social circle to turn around and open his eyes, but when he heard about an emerging electronic product investment project, Yang Yinglin saw Xing Zhao's eyes glowing, to be precise, shining gold, obviously very interested.

"That Miss Yang, I also deal with some investment matters here, you go around first, there is food and drink, pick what you like to eat, tonight's auction is the highlight, it is estimated that the characters you want to see will not appear until the auction starts, don't jump so tightly, you are also a person who has seen the world." Xing Zhao seemed to see that Yang Yinglin was a little nervous and uncomfortable.

"You go and get busy with you first, don't you have Ji Ran with me, don't worry, I will stay quietly and won't cause you trouble."

"I'm not afraid of trouble, it's my honor to solve trouble for Master Yang, I'll go back as soon as I go, don't go too far out of my sight, go over there to find me if there's anything."

After Xing Zhao left, only Yang Yinglin and Ji Ran were left here, Yang Yinglin looked at Ji Ran beside him, it turned out that he was also participating in this kind of grand occasion for the first time, even Ji Ran, who claimed to have seen the world, was a little restrained, although the Ji family was rich, but at best it was a nouveau riche, and was not recognized and accepted by the people in this circle, the starting point of the characters who could come here was very high, Yang Yinglin looked at the legendary characters she had heard of, in short, they were all the children of the legendary wealthy nobles, Their wealth accumulation started from their ancestors, they have their own family business, and they have received a gentleman's education since they were children, and the things on this scene are like their family gatherings, Ji Ran is also a businessman, and he has not integrated into this circle, but he knows a few people who have taken care of him, and he still takes care of Yang Ying: "Do you want to eat some cake, you haven't eaten well all the way, and the whole person is a little haggard." ”

Yang Yinglin took a bite of the strawberry mousse handed over by Ji Ran, she often eats strawberry mousse cake, but the first time she tasted such a delicious cake, even the quality of the food here is really different, showing its premium. She tried to eat as little as she could, pretending to be reserved, and the taste of the cake actually made her feel happy.

"Drink some of this."

"What is this?"

"Champagne, low proof, I just drank a little, but it tastes great, low alcohol is good for reducing nervousness."

"Forget it, don't drink this, I don't drink well, Ji Ran, can you help me prepare a glass of white water."

"Miss Yang, you are really picky, there are so many drinks here, you prefer to drink plain water. Forget it, I'm sorry for you. Ji Ran said reluctantly, but Yang Yinglin knew that he would still help him get it.

There are not many waiters here, so Ji Ran had to go over there to help Yang Yinglin find a waiter to ask for boiled water: "Ji Ran, thank you, I want to be warm." ”

"Knowing Miss Yang, if there are any other requirements, let's talk together."

Yang Yinglin stepped forward and pulled the corner of Ji Ran's clothes: "Don't go too long, I don't feel comfortable here." ”

"Finally know my value, don't worry, help you get the warm boiled water, I'll come over right away."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you here."

After Ji Ran left, Yang Yinglin felt as if she had social phobia, especially when a few people around her began to look at her, she felt very uncomfortable, as a new face here, she was alone, but she was wearing the dress that Xing Zhao prepared for her at a high price, which would inevitably attract people who were interested in her, including men who took the initiative to walk in and greet her.

Yang Yinglin didn't smile, nodded, she didn't feel comfortable anywhere, she just wanted to leave this crowded place, she didn't want to stay here for a moment, she couldn't even wait for Ji Ran to come over, she wanted to find a secluded place, she saw that there was a surging flow of people here, people came and went, but there was a place over there, it seemed to be quieter, and when Yang Yinglin looked over there, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated inexplicably, and she didn't have time to go over there with her feelings.

This place is really clean, and it is an exhibition area where 21 antiques are about to be auctioned. There were quite a few people who came to the auction, but very few people came here to take a closer look.

The antiques to be auctioned here are divided into three categories: utensils, calligraphy and paintings, and alternative antiques. The exhibit area is equipped with strict security measures, but it does not prevent Yang Yinglin from thinking that she has finally found something to do, and she can pass the boring time. Although she doesn't know a lot about these antiques and antiques, but this does not prevent her from rising in knowledge, increasing knowledge, this artifact has a detailed introduction, she started from the beginning of Tang Sancai, to the porcelain of the official kiln of the Song Dynasty and then to the blue and white porcelain of the Ming and Qing dynasties, each piece is a fine product, the price is estimated to be sky-high, but she is interested in perhaps every treasure behind a story and its own imprint.

After reading these utensils and calligraphy and paintings, Yang Yinglin turned to look at some alternative antiques, which were much more interesting than those things, small snuff bottles and pocket watches, she was attracted by a silver hairpin in front of her, and suddenly had a sense of déjà vu, as if there was magic, she couldn't help but be deeply attracted, she observed carefully.

The silver hairpin of the Republic of China is made in the shape of a butterfly, inlaid with red agate is very delicate, and if you look closely, this hairpin has broken marks. This hairpin profile is also very interesting, written that it was made by a very famous craftsman in the Republic of China, taken from the butterfly pattern personally designed by the young master of a certain mansion, and then selected the extremely precious red agate to give to his fiancée. Yang Yinglin stared at this butterfly hairpin, such a beautiful hairpin and such a beautiful love story, I don't know if this love has been handed down, it's a pity that this hairpin came to this place, and their descendants didn't keep it well for some reason.

She looked at it for a long time, turned around, and suddenly felt that her chest was inexplicably a little stuffy, she took a deep breath, she wanted to relax her mood, but she knew that her heartbeat was very accelerated, she felt that the spiritual power around her body began to emerge, and the spiritual power was very strong and surging, she tried in vain to control the sudden emergence of spiritual power, but she couldn't control it, and she couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, she didn't have time to think about it, and felt more and more that the spiritual power that seemed to be surging and gathering actually aroused her spiritual power sense. Yang Yinglin had to follow the guidance of spiritual power to move the place that stimulated the surge of spiritual power, and finally stopped in front of an exhibit.

There is a string of bracelets in the glass cabinet, this is a string of beaded bracelets, there are beads in series, the beads are the color of ebony, I can't see what material is made, the beads are carved round and full. This string of beads obviously emerged with gathered spiritual power just now, but at this moment, it didn't look unusual in front of her eyes, the only difference was that the brief introduction of this bracelet was the simplest, only the word "unknown" was written. No origin, no provenance, no introduction.

At this time, the surging spiritual power began to appear again, Yang Yinglin was more sure that this bracelet really had an unusual aura, she lay on the glass cabinet and began to look at it again, then she was surprised to see that each bead was engraved with subtle runes, and this subtle rune she knew, because these ancient runes are also on the heavenly book, in the same vein, and at this moment, the ebony beads are actually glowing red, she seems to have expected something, not only trembling all over her body, she can't believe it, and secretly thinks in her heart Is this it.

"Looks like you like this too." A crisp voice interrupted her thoughts.

Yang Yinglin came back to her senses at this time, "It seems that you really like it, after watching it for a long time, the whole person has been sucked in, this thing is so good that your eyes can't leave." Although this is an auction, and the auction of things must be high-quality, but these things may not be able to meet a good owner, the owner who bought them may not really understand these things, some are to buy to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, some in order to show their worth, there can be a few people who really like it, and there are no people who can calm down and study carefully. ”

Yang Yinglin suddenly remembered that Xing Zhao had slightly mentioned the Jiang family before he brought her in, including the Jiang family started by reselling antiques, Miss Jiang has studied all kinds of antiquities, Yang Yinglin began to look at the lady in front of her carefully, wearing a burgundy slim dress, showing a slender and thin figure, a white goose egg face, a pair of almond eyes, exquisite makeup, and a smile on her face, but it gives people the feeling that the aura is not generally powerful, not approachable, and more like a formatted expression. In this situation in front of her, Yang Yinglin thought about whether the person in front of her would be the person she wanted to find tonight, the young lady of the Jiang family, the rumored Jiang Yiyi.

This Miss Jiang looked at Yang Yinglin's surprised expression that had been looking at her blankly, and her heart was more and more full of contempt, and her formulaic smile suddenly receded into a sneer: "I didn't expect you to really have the courage to come here, it seems that you also like this beaded bracelet, what to do with this beaded bracelet I also like, I don't know what to say, in short, I didn't expect our eyes to be really similar, whether it is in this bracelet or in terms of men, it is very consistent." But I'm going to tell you, I'm going to make up my mind for this bracelet, and what I want is inevitable, and no one can compete with me. ”

The one in front of him is domineering and strong enough, but in comparison, he is completely different from the women he has seen before. Yang Yinglin felt that she was not at the same frequency as her at all, and she was not even worthy of being her opponent, at this moment she just looked at the powerful Miss Jiang in front of her in a daze, and secretly thought to herself that she was such a terrible woman, she couldn't afford to provoke her.

"Yiyi, the auction is about to start, why are you here, why don't you hurry over." In the distance, Zhou Xuran suddenly saw this scene and rushed over.

Jiang Yiyi looked at Zhou Xuran in front of her, her eyebrows were affectionate, full of love, and she instantly had a coquettish smile, and she was completely different from the two just now, she hugged Zhou Xuran affectionately with her arm: "Xuran, you see that this young lady is a raw face, but the whole person is naturally stupid, so cute." After speaking, he looked at Zhou Xuran knowingly: "I don't know who brought her here, leaving her here alone." Zhou Xuran's face was expressionless at the moment, obviously he didn't want to explain too much.

"I brought her here." Xing Zhao and Ji Ran appeared at a critical moment, and Yang Yinglin finally breathed a sigh of relief

"Oh, is it? Didn't expect that? Xing Zhao: They will actually be the friends you brought here. Jiang Yiyi had a questioning expression, obviously she didn't think this was the answer she wanted.

"It's a good friend I just met." Xing Zhao directly took this matter to himself.

Yang Yinglin's heart finally let go, she felt that her revolutionary comrades-in-arms were coming, and she had something to rely on, so she automatically retreated to Xing Zhao and Ji Ran's side.

"You won't introduce this young lady either."

"My Female Companion"

"My Fiancée"

Ji Ran and Xing Zhao said it in unison, and the two of them were very embarrassed.

"It seems that this young lady is not simple, whether she is the fiancée of this gentleman or Ah Zhao's female companion, you have to sort out your personal relationship, right, Xuran." Jiang Yiyi's words clearly meant something.

Yang Yinglin felt that her face was a little hot, and she was uncomfortable.

"Yiyi, the auction is about to start, I'll buy it for you if you like it."

"I'm only optimistic about this bracelet today, and you're going to buy it for me." Jiang Yiyi pointed to the bracelet straightforwardly.

Zhou Xuran glanced at Yang Yinglin, and then replied to Jiang Yiyi gently: "Okay." ”

"Miss Yang, I see that you like it too, I just stared at it for a long time, there must be something unusual about this bracelet, otherwise it will not be your favorite. If you like it, I'll buy it for you. Xing Zhao suddenly stepped in for some reason, and looked at Zhou Xuran with some provocation.

Yang Yinglin then remembered that this Xing Zhao has always been a mortal enemy with Zhou Xuran, and according to Xing Zhao's strength, he can really fight with Zhou Xuran.

Yang Yinglin didn't speak, but looked at the bracelet in the glass cabinet, and suddenly the red light disappeared, she was silent for a moment, and looked at Xing Zhao: "Thank you for your heart, but a gentleman doesn't take people's love, and he chooses his master."

"In this case, since you don't like it very much, then you can see if there is anything else you like, and tell me that I will buy it for you, you're welcome." Xing Zhao said generously.

The auction is about to begin, and the antiquities are beginning to be removed in preparation for the auction below.

Zhou Xuran immediately took Jiang Yiyi and left, Yinglin felt that these two people were still right, the male talent and the female appearance and family background were comparable, but the face that Jiang Yiyi revealed to herself just now made her not have a good impression of Jiang Yiyi, she must be full of city mansions and scheming with such a woman, before and after others, she can lower her body and become gentle and lovely, and she can also be domineering and strong, she is a best, but Zhou Xuran's life in the future will definitely be better.

"Let's go too." Yang Yinglin and Ji Ran followed Xing Zhao and prepared to leave.

"Patriarch, when were you here?" Yang Yinglin suddenly found the patriarch standing stupidly on the side of the dumbfounded.

"This gentleman, even, I have seen it before, it is the one who found that Wong Tai Sin on the road, and he is also an unusual character." However, the unusual appearance of the patriarch at the moment made Xing Zhao lie on Yang Yinglin's ear curiously: "How is this called the patriarch?" ”

"That's called getting used to, his name is Mu Yuan." Ji Ran added, and then pulled Xing Zhao from Yang Yinglin's ear to his side.

"Mu Yuan, what's wrong with you, it's like losing your soul." Yang Yinglin stepped forward and patted the patriarch who still didn't respond, she looked in the direction of the patriarch, and actually saw that he was looking at Jiang Yiyi so focused, as if he had fallen in.

"I have a feeling that I have finally found something that I have lost for thousands of years, that is, I have found what I have been trying to find, but my heart is suddenly empty and uncomfortable."

Xing Zhao suddenly laughed: "I didn't expect this to be a love saint." ”

Yang Yinglin was confused: "Patriarch, don't Mu Yuan, what are you talking about, I don't understand, it seems that you have not been used to adapting to life under the mountain recently." ”

"Not really." The patriarch came back to his senses, but Yang Yinglin secretly observed that he was still looking at Jiang Yiyi.

"Mu Yuan, what exactly do you want to say?"

"I don't know, and I can't say it myself for a while."

"I can't say it clearly, then I can say it when it is clear, the auction has started, I don't want to delay, I am optimistic about that calligraphy and painting, in case it is auctioned by others, it will not work, let's go quickly." Xing Zhao said urgically.

The auction officially began, in the face of porcelain objects close to sky-high prices, Yang Yinglin from the beginning of the amazement, to the lack of interest, but Xing Zhao showed the limelight, he spent 8 figures to buy a landscape map, like a treasure, Yang Yinglin did not know whether Xing Zhao really liked this landscape painting or liked to show off.

When it came to the part of antiques, Yang Yinglin was a little interested, she looked at the patriarch who sat beside her all night and was not in a state than herself, the patriarch of this night was not in a state of mind, and she didn't know what she was thinking, what she was worried about, Yang Yinglin and Ji Ran asked him tentatively a few times if he had encountered something and was confused, and the patriarch looked inexplicably confused and entangled, which really made people unable to start.

After the exquisite pocket watch auction, it was the butterfly hairpin. Yang Yinglin liked the hairpin very much, but she knew that she had no money, and it was impossible for others to buy it for her, so she could only look around at the buyers, but she didn't expect Zhou Xuran to be interested in this thing, and was finally photographed by Zhou Xuran, she thought of the word borrowing flowers to offer Buddha to the Miss Jiang who was dedicated to him, witnessing the love of the two people, and couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, but she felt that it was no big deal, the love of people, Zhou Xuran looked at the cold person and turned out to be warm to the person he liked.
