Since it wasn't peak season and there weren't many people on the train, I speculated that if Kong Xue really wanted to go to the auction, then she would definitely take this train.

I walked through the carriages one by one, carefully looking at the passengers on both sides, searching for Kong Xue's figure.

Sure enough, after I walked four carriages, in a window seat, a beautiful pretty face was facing the window.

I smiled and sat down opposite Kong Xue, "Beauty, is there anyone here?" Can I sit here? ”

Kong Xue looked out the window and didn't move, and said impatiently: "There are so many vacant seats, where do you like to sit!" It seems that she usually encounters such accostings.

I didn't move, and then said, "What if I'd like to sit here?" ”

Kong Xue frowned, "Hey, I said you are annoying......" Kong Xue was halfway through her words, when she looked up and saw me, her expression froze, she was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Why are you here?" ”

"Alas," I sighed, "I'm a man, too!" It looks like you can't avoid these things! Love, what's the matter! ”

Kong Xue smiled slightly, "How can you think so seriously, there can't be zongzi at the auction!" ”

"Really?" I turned my head out the window and watched as the scenery slowly moved backwards, faster and faster! Every time I always feel that things are under our control, but every time the ending is unexpected, every time I struggle on the edge of life and death, I am really afraid of this intimate encounter with death.

More than an hour later, the train stopped. Kong Xue and I walked out of the station, and we knew from the magazine that the auction would start the day after tomorrow, but we thought it would be better to check in advance.

Kong Xue asked me, "Do you want to call the second uncle?" ”

I shook my head, "Forget it, since the second uncle deliberately wants to hide it from us, I think we will fight in vain, anyway, we will definitely see it at the auction the day after tomorrow, so let's adapt when the time comes!" ”

Kong Xue nodded, "Then let's go directly to the auction venue for a while!" Step on the points in advance, I remember that when I used to take the high school entrance examination and college entrance examination, I always looked at the examination room in advance. ”

Test? College entrance exam? That doesn't seem like the case, does it? But I agreed, "Okay, let's go check it out!" ”

Since the location was unfamiliar, we decided to take a taxi and go directly, and as soon as we got in the car, we told the driver to go to Rongchang Auction House.

Hearing our words, the driver was stunned for a moment, and then started the car, "Are you going to the auction?" The driver asked, looking at the two of us.

"Ah, I heard that tomorrow is a big auction, so I wanted to go over and check it out." I replied casually.

The driver listened to my words and suddenly smiled.

I looked a little strange, "Master, what are you laughing at?" Is there something wrong? ”

The driver smiled and shook his hand, "No, you two are quite young, I guess you are not from the circle, right?" Let me tell you both, tomorrow's auction will definitely be the best in the industry, and the people who can be invited to participate are the number one in the circle. ”

Kong Xue and I were a little surprised, we didn't expect this auction to be so high.

Looking at our hesitant faces, the driver continued: "So I said, if you two have the mentality of watching the scenery and are ready to go, then don't waste your efforts, 100% can't get in." In our alley, there is an old man, who has been pouring antiques for most of his life, and he is also well-known in our area, and he wants to participate in this auction more than a month in advance, but he is stunned! ”

Kong Xue and I looked at each other when we heard this, if we couldn't get in all the way, it wouldn't be a loss, and in addition, the higher the specifications of this auction, the tighter the security, which aroused our interest even more.

The taxi drove us straight to Xishan, turning around the mountain road for nearly an hour before stopping.

The driver pointed to a large gate next to him and said, "Okay, it's here." ”

After I paid for the car, the driver stuffed me with a business card, "If you can't get a taxi here, if you can't go back, call me!" "It's really a good Chinese driver, and I thought so thoughtfully, I quickly thanked him.

After the driver left, we turned our heads to look at the gate in front of us. The entrance is built on top of nine steps, gray tiles and white walls, high gate towers, carved beams and painted buildings, ancient and ancient. Coupled with the surrounding pine and cypress, surrounded by mountains, it really looks extraordinary. On the huge vermilion lacquer gate, there is a plaque with three big characters written on it: Rongchang Pavilion!

I can't help but be secretly surprised, this place is really unusual, as the saying goes, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, but this "alley" is already so deep that it is inaccessible, if it is not a little "peerless wine", I am afraid it will not attract so many bigwigs. I was suddenly looking forward to tomorrow's auction.

But now a very real question has been placed in front of us, that is, how on earth should we get in?

I turned my head to Kong Xue and said, "You wait here, I'll go over and take a look, and find out the time and specific situation of the auction the day after tomorrow, these magazines have not mentioned it, let's know it in our hearts, and we will be prepared when the time comes." ”

Kong Xue squinted at me, "You? Can you? ”

"Cut! Joke! Is it hard? I snorted and walked briskly up the nine steps.

The door was closed on the stairs, and I reached out and pushed it, but I didn't move. I looked at the doorbell on the wall next to me and reached out and rang it.

Soon, I heard footsteps inside the door, and then the door creaked open, and a middle-aged man leaned out and asked coldly, "Who are you looking for?" ”

I quickly smiled, "Hello, I would like to inquire about tomorrow's auction." ”

The middle-aged man looked me up and down, "Which family are you from?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, why do you still have to report home? After thinking about it, the second uncle had to participate anyway, which meant that the second uncle Ming was also in the ranks of the invitees, so I generously reported to the house: "Zhuo family!" ”

"Zhuo family?" The middle-aged man looked at me, lowered his head and groaned, "I don't know what the Zhuo family is, do you have an invitation, if you have an invitation, just follow the above time the day after tomorrow, if not, why should you go!" ”

"Actually, I just wanted to ask......" Before I could finish my sentence, the door had already slammed shut.

"Hey! Is there any politeness? I hated to "greet" his family.

I walked back with a disgraced face, and Kong Xue couldn't help but purse her lips and snicker when she looked at me.

"What are you laughing at!" I looked at her angrily, "You can go too!" This place is certainly not a good place, there must be something unsightly! ”

Kong Xue's face raised, "If I go, I might be able to ask!" Do you want to make a bet? ”

"Bet on what?" I'm a little unconvinced.

Kong Xue smiled mischievously and said, "If I can ask about the specific time and schedule of the auction, you will have to carry me down the mountain!" ”

"Good! Deal! "Just looking at the arrogant appearance of that person just now, I conclude that Kong Xue will also return in vain!

Kong Xue took out a small mirror from her bag and sorted out her image. I raised my eyebrows, "You're trying to trick a beauty!" ”

"What do you care I do!" Saying that, Kong Xue walked up the steps and gently rang the doorbell.

Soon the door opened, and the middle-aged man poked his head out coldly again. Kong Xue smiled sweetly at him and said a word. I was too far away to hear what she was saying, but I knew that the middle-aged man must have been very useful for seeing a smile on his wooden face.

I suddenly had an ominous premonition in my heart, and my waist hurt inexplicably!

Kong Xue chatted with the middle-aged man for a while, and finally the middle-aged man turned around and went back inside, and then took out some printouts and handed them to Kong Xue.

I knew right away that it was over, and I must have lost a bad bet this time!

Seeing Kong Xue come back triumphantly, she raised the information in her hand, "Do you want to warm up first and move your back muscles or something?" ”

My face immediately changed, "That, that's not in a hurry, what did you ask?" How is the auction scheduled the day after tomorrow? ”

Kong Xue stretched out her Qianqianyu hand and pointed at me, "Come, bend down!" Let's talk as we walk on the road! ”

"I ......"

I carried Kong Xue on my back on the way down the mountain, but fortunately Kong Xue was not heavy, so I could still carry it.

Kong Xue looked at the information in her hand and said, "This auction is scheduled for the afternoon of the day after tomorrow." All invited guests will arrive around 11 a.m., and after the luncheon, the auction will begin. ”

I tilted my head and said, "Then let's come back the morning after tomorrow!" I guess after going down the mountain like this, I won't be able to move tomorrow! ”

Hearing my words, Kong Xue chuckled, "There is a more specific schedule and a detailed description of the lots. As she spoke, Kong Xue flipped through the information in her hand on my back, "Huh? Odd! ”

"What's wrong?" I hurriedly asked.

"All the lots here have introductions, except for this statue of a horse stepping on a snake, which is blank underneath and does not have any relevant introduction." Kong Xue said.

"It's really strange, it seems that this lot is really extraordinary! We should have come to the right place! I nodded, and suddenly remembered an important question, so I continued to ask: "Kong Xue, I still have something that I haven't figured out, can you tell me?" ”

"Okay, you ask!" Kong Xue readily agreed.

"What the hell did you say to get that wooden face?"

Kong Xue smiled mysteriously, "No comment!" ”

I took two more steps with Kong Xue on my back, and Kong Xue suddenly stretched out her hand, "Take it!" ”

"Take what?" I asked, panting.

"A taxi driver's business card! I'm afraid you're really tired! ”

As if I had been pardoned, I quickly took out my business card and handed it to Kong Xue, "Miss Shengming!" Actually, I can hold on for a while! ”

"Stick to your head!" Kong Xue gave me an angry look, "Die!" ”
