"Mingyue, this is Shang Luo!" Feng Yuxi introduced her very enthusiastically.
Tantai Mingyue pulled out a smile, said hello, and then looked at the people in the flower hall, Shang Luo came with his girlfriend, it was a really beautiful little beauty, under the short skirt, a pair of slender and round legs, which made people envious.
Others, seventy-seven-eighty-eight combined, about fifteen or sixteen, ranging from young to old, from men to women.
Yutai Mingyue is a little strange, didn't Feng Yuxi say that he would participate in the auction? Why are there only so many people in an auction? originally thought that there should be a lot of people in the auction of these rich people, so that the bidding would be lively? Isn't it all on TV?
Shang Luo's gaze was still turning around on Mingyue's face, and he was very curious about the rose mark on her face, eager to reach out and touch it to see if it was true or not.
Several young people were gathering together to chat, Feng Yuxi pulled Tantai Mingyue to sit down, and greeted each other, Tantai Mingyue estimated in her heart that they were all some wealthy disciples, and they were people who had money to support them in a panic.
And these people also seemed to be very interested in her, constantly looking at her, probably like Shang Luo, very interested in the rose mark on her face. She didn't know why Shang Luo called this birthmark a rose mark, but it seemed to be congenitally inherited, and her grandmother also had a piece on her face, exactly the same position, exactly the same style.
"It's rare to see Feng Shao bring girls out, this time it's serious?" A noblewoman asked.
Feng Yuxi just smiled noncommittally, and Mingyue looked up at the noble lady, with a round and plump face, a pair of narrow eyes, and an equally round nose...... This appearance is somewhat inconsistent with the aesthetics of today's people, but it is very in line with the traditional beauty of ancient Chinese women, dignified and noble - I heard them call her Mrs. Zhao.
Seeing that Mingyue's gaze fell on her, Mrs. Zhao smiled gently at her.
"Didn't you mean to show me a chic auction?" Yutai Mingyue sat idly for a while, and saw that Feng Yuxi was not chatting with them, but looking at herself quietly, and immediately asked.
"Well, it's going to be nine o'clock in the evening, it's almost there." Feng Yuxi smiled.
"Right here?" Yutai Mingyue asked.
"Yes." Feng Yuxi nodded with a smile.
"Xiao Mingyue, this is a small private auction, once a month, it is all some acquaintances, and the things auctioned are naturally varied, jewelry, clothes, antiques, and some things that can't be said to be messy." Shang Luo was acquainted, left his female companion, brought her a glass of juice, sat beside her, and enthusiastically introduced, "Is your mark really real?" Can you let me touch it? ”
"No!" Tantai Mingyue categorically refused, when Feng Yuxi accompanied her to go shopping yesterday, she touched her once while she was not paying attention, and hated Tangtai Mingyue almost killed him with scissors, how could she let people touch it again at this time?
"It's so beautiful, it's like it's painted!" Shang Luo sighed, "How about I chase you?" ”
Feng Yuxi glared at him and scolded, "Shang Luo, are you a dead man to me?" ”
"I don't care if you chase Xiaoqian." Shang Luo said seriously.
"Shang Shao, how can you say that?" The girl brought by Shang Luo leaned over with a resentful face.
Shang Luo laughed, hugged the girl and said with a smile: "Xiao Mingyue, this is Xiao Qian-Ning Xiaoqian." ”
Yutai Mingyue was stunned for a moment, and then felt funny, this girl's parents, could it be that they were obsessed with chatting, so they gave their girl such a famous female ghost name?
"Hey, don't laugh, it's coming." Mrs. Zhao suddenly turned her head and said.
Yutai Mingyue was still very curious, and sure enough, the side door of the flower hall opened, and more than a dozen girls wearing cheongsams, holding some things in their hands, walked over and put them on the table above, lined up.
Soon, there were about seventeen or eighteen items on the table in the front row, of various sizes and varieties, and then there was a girl holding something like an ivory jade plaque and delivering it to everyone.
Yutai Mingyue looked at it, in the entire flower hall, there should be no tooth tags for her and that Ning Xiaoqian, probably because they were not invited guests, but only vassals were brought over.
"It's still the old rule, let's take a look first, the auction will start in half an hour, the reserve price will start, and the one with the highest price will win." A woman wearing a bright yellow cheongsam stood in the middle of the flower hall and said, I heard them say that the woman's name is Haitang, and she is the host of this auction.
Everyone in the flower hall stood up and walked towards the table in the front row, there were not many people, and there were not many things, but they were in order, and Mingyue was very curious about this, and followed Feng Yuxi to look at the past one by one, as Shang Luo said, the things auctioned here are really very miscellaneous, varied, everything, some of them, although there are some explanations next to her, she still looks confused, and she doesn't understand at all.
It's some jewelry, antiques, she can understand. One of the instructions says that it is a bronze tripod of the Spring and Autumn Period, which is not large, but because of its complete condition and exquisite patterns, the reserve price of the list price is 30 million euros.
Tantai Mingyue saw that Feng Yuxi seemed to care about the bronze tripod, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and then almost instinctively, she smelled some strange smell in her nose, and couldn't help frowning slightly, and she was puzzled in her heart. At close range, her nose was too sensitive to distinguish all sorts of strange smells, even if they were mixed together, but they didn't affect her judgment.
I heard Shang Luo's big mouth next to him introduce that this bronze tripod is not available, it is the finale of tonight's auction, this price is very kind, if you go outside, you will never be able to buy it.
"Thirty million is still cheap?" Seeing Feng Yuxi concentrating on the bronze tripod, she kept stroking, gently tapping to listen to the sound, and even picked up a magnifying glass from the side to see the subtle cracks on it, etc., she didn't have time to pay attention to her, and immediately turned around and asked Shang Luodao beside her.
"Yes, the bronzes have been fried very high in the past two years, and they can't be bought outside, especially if they are in such perfect condition." Shang Luo introduced.
"Oh!" Yutai Mingyue nodded, and suddenly asked, "Will there be any fake things in this place?" ”
Shang Luo was stunned for a moment, and even Feng Yuxi, who was looking at the bronze tripod, was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at her and smiled: "No, everything in this place has been appraised by senior antique appraisers, how can there be a problem?" ”
"Hmm!" Tantai Mingyue nodded, thinking that she was too careful, the people from this place, although Feng Yuxi did not introduce her, but she was not stupid, she could naturally see that they were all nobles, and they really wanted to sell fakes to them, and they knew about it, would this Judexuan still be opened?
However, she was still puzzled in her heart, and after thinking about it, she seemed to have seen a bronze just now, and looked up, and sure enough, the fifteenth auction item was also a bronze ware, a pair of bronze wine bottles, the shape was very exquisite, and the age was even more old, and it was actually a thing of the Zhou Dynasty, but the quality was not so good-looking.
