At that time, our Ma family was rich, and the old man was not good at opium or women, so he liked to collect some antiquities, calligraphy and paintings.

The family deliberately vacated a courtyard yard, which is full of good things, and it is priceless to put it on hold now.

However, feng shui takes turns, and there are three generations of rich and three generations of poor.

In my grandfather's life, he gave birth to ten sons in one go, and he was basically poor to the bottom.

In my grandfather's time, the common people did not have enough food and clothing, and the antiques, calligraphy and paintings at that time were not worth anything at all, and the most valuable thing was food.

Most of my grandfather's collections were taken to the cooperative by my grandfather to exchange for cornmeal.

Because there were too many mouths in the family, they all had to eat, and even so, it was a pity that they starved to death of their three sons in the end.

As the so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, although the Ma family is completely defeated, there are still many good things or famous calligraphy and paintings remaining.

I'm different from ordinary children, I like antiquities since I was a child, other people's children are addicted to playing pinball rackets, and I just like to see those old things.

Because I have seen a lot of good things, real things, my eyesight is very strong, and fake things can't enter my eyes at all.

Later, the collecting craze began, and I also had a place to use it, opening such a small shop in Cultural Street, but unfortunately, in the best years of the market, because I was still young, I didn't make much of a storm.

Like, the words are a bit far-fetched......

……

About 20 minutes later, Lao Cui came to the Qilin Pavilion with a landscape painting, I opened it and looked at it, this painting is in average condition, and it is not recommended for Lao Cui to start.

In fact, Lao Cui himself felt that this painting was not very good, so he came to consult with me.

Feng Qingyang was not in Qilin Pavilion at this time, but sat at the door to set up a stall, and Lao Cui sat with me for a while.

Lao Cui glanced at the door and asked me in a low voice: "Master Feng is telling fortunes at the door, and he will earn a lot of money this day, right?" ”

"Well, people have great skills, and I feel more promising than our antique industry, and I feel that the richer people are, the more superstitious they are......"

"Yes," Old Cui turned his eyes and asked me, "Pony, do you still have that kind of porcelain collection in your hand?" ”

"What?" was asked by Lao Cui, and I didn't reflect it at once.

"It's the big blue and white porcelain bowl you shot last time, I saw it appear at an auction two days ago, and after a little packaging, it actually sold for a high price of 80,000 yuan!"

"No, Lao Cui, you don't know, I have such a decent porcelain in this store, and recently I am thinking about going to other places to collect some goods to fill the emptiness in the store......"

"Alas, it's all my fault, I guess we were fooled," Lao Cui shook his head and sighed for a while, then suddenly raised his head and stared at me, "By the way, pony, just in the past two days, I heard that there is a small auction in the capital, if you are interested, you can go there to try your luck?" ”

"The prices at the auction are high, and I can't afford to buy anything from the auction......" I shook my head lukewarmly.

"Don't worry, listen to me, the auction I'm talking about, not the auction you understand......"

"What do you mean by that?!"

"There is a person in Dao'er, everyone calls him Brother Tai, he used to eat the bowl of rice of tomb robbery, but then he didn't work in the field himself, and began to organize auctions...... "Old Cui said mysteriously.

"Is it safe?!" I asked nervously.

This kind of auction activity, I listen to a bit of an illegal feeling, what if someone reports it, what can I do if I am arrested?!

Moreover, last time, I almost died because I went to collect black goods, and now I don't dare to trust others easily, so I act rashly.

"It's not that serious, it's to find a hotel, rent a big room, and then release the news to the wind, buyers go to see, if you are optimistic, you can bid, the buyers are the fixed ones, they are all acquaintances, if you go, I will tell you the location and time when I go back......"

"So, Lao Cui, aren't you going?"

"I'm not going, the older I get, the more timid I become......"

"Lao Cui, are you familiar with the Tai brother you said?"

"I can't say it's familiar, but I did a deal with him last year, and it was successful, I don't think that Brother Tai's auction is not a scam, these days, if you want to collect something cheaply, you can only go off the rails, what do you say?"

Lao Cui is right, these days, if you want to collect some bargains, you can't do it through regular channels.

At this time, Feng Qingyang heard the conversation between me and Lao Cui at the door, he walked in and asked with a smile, "What are you talking about?" Where are you going, I'm going too, I'm bored these days! ”

Since Feng Qingyang is also going to follow, my heart is active, after all, with a bull fork figure like Feng Qingyang by my side, with such a master by my side, I am very down-to-earth in my heart.

Lao Cui is more timid and afraid, but when the three of them go together, his courage increases.

We talked for a while, thinking that we could buy something cheap at that Tai Ge's auction and then sell it to the auction company and make more money.

After discussing for a while, it was finally decided that on the weekend, I, Feng Qingyang and Lao Cui would go to the capital together to participate in Brother Tai's auction.

……

On Saturday morning, I took my bank card and some cash, followed Qingyang to take the subway directly to the train station, Lao Cui was waiting for us at the gate of the train station, and the three of them got on the train together and headed for the capital.

It is worth mentioning that Feng Qingyang is wearing ordinary clothes today, white T-shirt, blue jeans, after all, wearing a robe on the train is too conspicuous, in case he is interrogated by the patrolling police, isn't he making trouble for himself?

Jinhai is very close to the capital, and it only takes 30 minutes to take the high-speed train.

When we arrived at the Beijing Railway Station, we took a taxi all the way to Panjiayuan, which was not very far from Panjiayuan.

When we arrived at Panjiayuan, we walked for another 10 minutes, and we came to the door of a relatively unknown hotel, but the hotel was quite large.

Lao Cui made a phone call at the door, and the other party said a room number, I inquired with the waiter at the door, and soon, I knew the specific location, and the three of them walked into the room.

Brother Tai is a middle-aged man in his 40s, not very burly, a little thin, with very dark skin and a scar on his face.

It's not like it's cut with a knife, it's more like it's grabbed by the claws of some animal, because it's shallow.

If a person has such a scar on his face, he looks a little vicious.

However, Brother Tai is an old Jianghu after all, so he didn't ask half a word, and shook hands with me, Feng Qingyang and Lao Cui warmly, with harmless smiles on his face.

Again, this kind of smile is the easiest to let people down their guard......
