The next time I saw Qiu Nuo at the auction, I almost forgot about this person because of Fang Yanan's affairs, and Qiu Nuo specially apologized to me at the door of the police station last time, because I was worried about the red thread on Fang Yanan's head at that time, and I didn't pay much attention to her.

Now that I think about it, I feel a little uncomfortable, the last time I saw her in Qingyang Palace, she was so sophisticated and skillful in identifying cultural relics, it didn't match her age at all, and I had a good impression of Qiu Nuo, but I felt that she was too arrogant and indifferent, giving people a feeling that it was not easy to approach.

Like a hedgehog, it can be seen from her eyes that she doesn't have much sense of security for anyone and everything, and whoever gets close to her, Qiu Nuo will subconsciously open the spikes all over her body to defend herself.

"What are you looking at?" Yue Qianling found that I was sitting next to me and looked at the front absentmindedly.

"I saw Qiunuo and wondered if I should say hello to her." I said, looking ahead.

When Yue Qianling heard this, she immediately sank her face and said in a strange way.

"Do you lose control when you see a girl, if it weren't for her, you wouldn't have gone to the police station, and if you didn't go to the police station, you wouldn't have met Fang Yanan, and you wouldn't have met ......."

"Hehe, I just wanted to go over and say hello, I didn't pay attention to her at the police station last time, and I was a little reluctant to go, where did you go." I said with a wry smile on my face.

"Sit down honestly, don't think about it, and don't forget what you're here for."

Originally, it was planned to wait for Xiao Lianshan to come back, and then go up to Qingcheng Mountain together, Xiao Lianshan came back, but Gu Anqi thought that there was a temporary delay, and he would postpone his return for a few days.

It just so happened that the auction house invited Professor Jiang of the Institute of Archaeology as a guest to participate in an auction, Professor Jiang couldn't leave because of something, so that Yue Qianling was a representative of the interest, and Yue Qianling was a complete layman for the appreciation of antiques, and he was afraid that he would embarrass the Institute of Archaeology.

I don't like occasions where there are too many people, I always feel very restrained, not to mention the people sitting in front and back are all jewels and wealthy, there are not many people who really like antiques, they are a group of nouveau riche who want to buy a few antiques to go back to improve their grades.

"The first auction item, the late Qing Dynasty alum red Zhong Kui figure snuff bottle, the starting price is 1,000 yuan, and the price will be increased by 500 each time!"

The auctioneer announced the start of the auction, and Yue Qianling saw that there were many people holding up their cards and asked in a low voice.

"What do you think of this object?"

"The painting is delicate and sophisticated, the characters are vivid, the age is not too long, and there is a certain collection value." I said nonchalantly.

"How much do you think this thing is worth?" Xiao Lianshan asked boredly.

"After all, it is a small piece, and the material is not expensive, and the starting price is inflated, asking for 1,000 yuan, and such a thing is at most three or four hundred."

"Three or four hundred?" Xiao Lianshan was stunned, and looked at the people holding signs everywhere and said blankly. "I thought they were all experts here, but they weren't much better than me."

"Hehe, if you grab a lot of this thing in the ghost market, it will cost you thirty or fifty yuan in the ghost market." I said with a smile.

"This is called packaging, and the goods sold in the ghost market can't be sold at a price because they don't have packaging." Yue Qianling said disdainfully. "How formal the auction is, every antique has a special person to appraise to ensure that the goods are genuine, and there is a certificate, of course the things sold here are expensive."

"Pull it down, and a group of people who don't know how to pretend to know how to fill up the numbers will come here." Xiao Lianshan glanced at the person next to him and said sarcastically.

The first few collections are insignificant, Yue Qianling urged me to explain each one to her, I am like a number of treasures, and a middle-aged man in the front row looks back at me from time to time, which makes me embarrassed.

"This friend, my name is Zhao Bin, I see that you know a lot about this, I also want to buy a few back, but I don't understand, or you give a reference, the remuneration is easy to say." Zhao Bin turned his head and whispered with a smile.

"Hehe, I'm also casually telling you what kind of antiques you want to buy, and if you see a suitable one, I'll tell you." I smiled and said kindly.

"It doesn't matter, as long as it's real and collectible." Zhao Bin smiled politely, and handed over a stack of money in his hand, which looked like there were hundreds.

I hurriedly pushed Zhao Bin's hand back.

"You really don't have to give me this, since you like it, I'll remind you when I see the right one."

Zhao Bin was very stubborn and insisted on stuffing it into my hand, Yue Qianling saw that the two of them pushed and sent, and if it went on like this, others thought they were fighting, and several people looked this way, and Yue Qianling took the money from the middle-aged man.

"You...... How can you just take money from people? I glared at Yue Qianling.

"If you don't take his money, he will not be steady, most of the businessmen here, they believe in money more than they believe in people, you take his money, he thinks you will help him wholeheartedly, if you don't take it, he has no bottom in his heart, but thinks you are dealing with him."

I scoffed at Yue Qianling's remarks, but when I saw the satisfied smile on Zhao Bin's face, I still believed it a little, after all, he was a businessman, and if he had common interests, he would definitely have friends.

"The fifth collection, Yan Lide's "Twelve Sages and Bright Pictures" in the Tang Dynasty, has a starting price of 20,000 yuan, and each bid is 2,000 yuan."

The corners of my mouth turned up, and I said with a faint smile.

"There are actually Yan Lide's real works, I didn't expect to see them here."

"What, is this painting good?" Yue Qianling looked at the paintings on the stage and asked curiously. "I've never heard of this person."

"Lonely and unheard, Yan Lide has never heard of it, you are still an archaeologist, Zhaoling was designed by him, you say that he is not powerful." I said with a wry smile.

"This person is repairing houses, and he comes to paint, you don't say that he has a specialization in the art industry, is he repairing the house and painting, the best painting, the best house in painting." Xiao Lianshan said with a smile to himself.

"Yan Lide is a Tang Dynasty architect, arts and crafts artist, painter, born in a family of engineers, Tang Wude to Zhenguan during the period of Shangyi Fengyu, will be a young craftsman, will be a master craftsman, the last official worship of the Ministry of Shangshu, was ordered to build the Tang Gaozu Mountain Mausoleum, supervised the construction of Cuiwei, Yuhua two palaces, the construction of Zhaoling, presided over the construction of Tang Chang'an outside the city Guo and the city tower, etc., the craft, painting is quite profound, has presided over the design of the emperor's clothing, painting to people, trees and stones, birds and beasts." I tilted my head and whispered an explanation.

"I see that you admire this Yan Lide, but I haven't heard of any famous paintings from him." Yue Qianling nodded and asked puzzled.

"Hehe, because he lives in the shadow of his younger brother, others don't pay too much attention to him."

"His brother? Who is his brother? ”

Yan Liben, who has an important position in the history of painting, has a "Gong Gong Tu", "Xiao Yi Earns Lan Ting Tu" and other works that have been handed down, and his works are highly valued by the world and listed as a divine product by the contemporaries. I said calmly.

"Oh, I know when you say that, "Bu Yuan Tu", "Ancient Emperor Tu" and so on are all famous paintings, no wonder this Yan Lide is not very famous, it is indeed difficult to surpass such a younger brother in front of him." Yue Qianling suddenly realized.

"It can't be said that Yan Lide is just quite accomplished in architecture, and people ignore his achievements in painting, look at this "Twelve Sages and Ming Pictures" to know that the lines are strong and powerful, the spirit is like life, the colors are elegant and calm, the brushstrokes are more detailed than Gu Kaizhi's, and the characters are meticulously portrayed, which is better than Yan Liben's "Eighteen Bachelors of Qinfu".

Zhao Bin listened to my eloquent explanation in front of him and asked happily.

"Listen to you say that, this painting is very collectible?"

I nodded and smiled.

"If you like collecting, this "Twelve Sages" is definitely a good choice."

Zhao Bin saw that I was so sure of what I said, and the sign I raised my hand without thinking about it just now, the painting with a reserve price of 20,000 yuan just now has become 38,000 yuan in a while.

Seeing that there were so many people raising the price, Zhao Bin didn't have much confidence, so he turned around and asked.

"This friend, you give me an estimate, how much is this painting worth, it is more cost-effective."

"This ...... It's really hard for me to say this, I only look at how good things are, whether they're real or fake, and I really don't know how much they're worth. I smiled apologetically and said calmly. Everything depends on their own preferences, those who don't like it will think that they are worthless, and those who like it can spend a lot of money. ”

As soon as my words fell, Zhao Bin gritted his teeth and shouted loudly holding up the sign.

"Fifty thousand!"

It only takes 2,000 to increase the price at a time, and Zhao Bin actually increased the reserve price from 38,000 to 50,000 at one time, which is obviously an inevitable erection.

Zhao Bin's strategy is correct, according to a price increase of 2,000 at a time, this painting does not know what price to be raised, and quotes a high price that he can fully afford, which can not only scare off some people, but also show his strength.

It seems that Zhao Bin's approach is very abrupt, but in fact, he saves a lot of money, and I have to admire the unique thinking of a businessman.

The eyes of everyone in the audience focused on Zhao Bin.

When I looked up, I saw Qiu Nuo looking at me, and actually nodded and smiled at me, Qiu Nuo gave people a very cold feeling, although I had only seen her twice, this was the first time I saw her smile, I never found it, it turned out that Qiu Nuo looked very good when she smiled.

I also nodded and smiled back, everything fell in Yue Qianling's eyes, turning into an inexplicable resentment, and I didn't notice her increasingly gloomy face at all.

It wasn't until I almost cried out in pain that I looked down and saw Yue Qianling's high heels stepping heavily on my feet.
