Chapter 141: Qianlong Jade Wrench

The auction continued, and several pieces of porcelain, jade, and paintings and calligraphy were followed by a large number of bidders, almost all of which were sold at very high prices.

Several people who were familiar with Tang Yun also made a move, and Zhou Lao took a picture of an antique cartridge from the Qing Dynasty, in addition, Zhou Nanfeng and Chen Guanxi also had their own gains.

However, what made Tang Yun feel strange was that Liu Tianxiong still hadn't made a single move, even if he raised his cards once.

"Here we are..."

Just when Tang Yun was wondering, Liu Tianxiong suddenly looked straight at the stage with his eyes straight and muttered to himself.

"The auction item I want to introduce to you below is a jade wrench used by Emperor Qianlong during the Qing Dynasty..."

Tang Yun looked at the stands, it turned out to be Qianlong's jade wrench, no wonder Liu Tianxiong was so concerned.

In ancient China, the value of pearls and jade was higher than that of gold and bronze, and the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty was very fond of hiding jade wrenches.

The jade wrench finger is also called jade hammer (sound with shooting), which is originally intended to be a tool used to pull the string when drawing the bow and archery, and is set on the right thumb of the archer to protect the right thumb of the shooter from being strangled by the bowstring.

The Qing Dynasty regarded the skills of the bow and horse as the national foundation, the bow must be used to pull the wrench, the Qianlong Emperor was a very cultivated monarch, Wen Nengqin, chess, calligraphy and painting, Wu Ke horseback archery, can be described as proficient, even in his later years, he can still "shoot two deer with one arrow", so the use of the wrench is naturally very frequent.

In the usual riding and archery activities, the wrenches used by the Qianlong Emperor were basically made of horns or teeth, which can be proved from the paintings such as "Qianlong Great Reading Map" and "Wei Arc Shooting Deer".

However, the Qianlong Emperor showed great interest and enthusiasm for the wrenches made of precious materials, especially jade, which were used for display and appreciation, so that the wrenches, which were originally mainly practical daily items, embarked on the elegant hall with high artistic taste.

It is understood that Emperor Qianlong alone wrote no less than 50 imperial poems for many jade wrenches, which shows Emperor Qianlong's love for jade wrenches.

The jade wrench introduced by the host is made of jasper, and you can also see that the wrench is engraved with the imperial poem of Emperor Qianlong on the screen, which shows that this wrench is indeed a genuine product.

"This Qianlong jade wrench, the starting price is one million, and each bid shall not be less than 100,000!"

"A million!"

"One and a half million!"

"One million eight million!"

"Two million!"

......

Many people at the scene showed strong interest in this jade wrench, and as soon as the host's voice fell, one competitor after another appeared in less than half a minute.

"Two two hundred and twenty thousand!"

"Two and a half million!"

"Three million!"

Tang Yun tilted his head sideways and glanced at the middle-aged man beside him, it was Liu Tianxiong who shouted the price of three million at this time, he had been watching silently, but now he finally made a move!

Because Liu Tianxiong directly raised the price by 500,000 yuan, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

However, this quiet atmosphere only lasted for more than ten seconds, and then a beautiful female voice sounded again.

"Three and a half million!"

Tang Yun followed the voice and looked at it reassuringly, sure enough, it was the middle-aged beauty, Ms. Ma Suli, Ye Tingting's mother.

Looking at Liu Tianxiong on the side, his brows were slightly furrowed at this time, it seemed that he had encountered a difficult opponent this time.

"Three and a half million, this lady bid three and a half million, is there anything higher?"

The smile on the host's face has not stopped, the final auction price of each auction item tonight is very ideal, and I think that my red envelope should be considerable...

Not long after the host finished speaking, another bidder at the scene raised the sign in his hand.

"Three million six hundred thousand! This gentleman bid three million six hundred thousand!"

The one holding the sign was a middle-aged man, before that, he had quoted a price of two and a half million, but it was quickly covered by the price of three million shouted by Liu Tianxiong.

"Four million!"

Ms. Ma Suli of Yip's Jewelry raised her sign and shouted again, her expression as calm as ever before, a black sunglasses on her face, no one could guess what she was thinking.

The middle-aged man who was still holding the card just now seemed to be struggling in his heart, frowning, and tried to raise the card again several times, but finally shook his head helplessly.

Obviously, he has no intention of continuing to participate in this auction.

"Four million! This lady is out of four million, is there anything higher?"

At this time, the whole venue seemed very quiet, and only the host's inquiry sounded.

After more than ten seconds of silence, the host saw that no one was bidding, so he began to shout:

"Four million for the first time!"

"Four million for the second time!"

Tang Yun looked at Liu Tianxiong beside him, Liu Tianxiong's expression at this time was unusually calm, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking at this time from his appearance.

Just when Tang Yun thought that Liu Tianxiong was going to give up, and the host also thought that no one would bid again, and was about to shout the last time, Liu Tianxiong slowly raised the sign.

"Five million!"

Liu Tianxiong's voice was very calm, just like the Ms. Ma Suli in front.

"This Uncle Liu... You can't wait until the last minute on purpose, right?"

Tang Yun glanced sideways at Liu Tianxiong, and couldn't help but think evil in his heart.

Could it be... Is he interested in that Ms. Ma Suli?

"Five... Five million! This gentleman is bidding five million!"

At this time, the host was also surprised.

In an instant, almost all the people at the scene turned their eyes on Liu Tianxiong, even Ms. Ma Suli was no exception.

Ms. Ma Suli followed the voice and fell her gaze on Liu Tianxiong's face, and after about ten seconds, she slowly withdrew her gaze, hesitated, and shouted again.

"Five million three million!"

This time, Liu Tianxiong did not wait until the last moment to shout as he did just now, but held up the sign as soon as Ms. Ma Suli's voice fell.

"Six million!"

Liu Tianxiong's expression was still very calm, even when Ms. Ma Suli looked at it just now, her eyes were motionless.

However, Tang Yun noticed that after Liu Tianxiong quoted the price of six million, the corner of his eye seemed to inadvertently glance to the upper right, which was the direction in which Ms. Ma Suli was sitting!

Sure enough, there was adultery!

In the end, Ms. Ma Suli did not hold up the sign again.

In this way, Liu Tianxiong successfully photographed this jade wrench used by Qianlong at a price of six million.

The last few lots were all successfully auctioned by other buyers, and tonight's auction can be said to be quite successful, and there was no unsuccessful auction.

Only Tang Yun felt very depressed, he actually played "soy sauce" all night at this auction...
