The car drove for more than twenty minutes before stopping.

Xiao Ming got out of the car and saw a single-family compound.

There are two stone lions standing at the door, majestic, the house is red bricks and green tiles, very simple, at first glance, it looks like a courtyard in the last century.

Xiao Ming was surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

Seeing that Long Chengfei got out of the car and walked inside without changing his face, Cai Wen: "Didn't you go to the auction venue?"

Long Chengfei turned his head and said, "I forgot, I forgot to tell you in advance." My grandfather is very interested in collecting, and the auction house of the Long family was founded by him for his hobby, and as soon as he heard that you have Tang Yao's clay pottery bottle, he must want to take a look at it first. ”

Xiao Ming nodded, the expression on his face looked quite calm, and he was already shocked in his heart, holding the express box in his arms a little nervous.

He only vaguely felt that the Tang Yao period had a history of more than 2,000 years, and this bottle should be regarded as an antique.

Although this bottle has been used by Chang'e a little worn, and it looks very old, it should still be sold at a good price, but I didn't expect it to alarm the patriarch of the Long family.

Although Xiao Ming is anxious to make money, he still understands the truth of shooting the first bird with a big move.

It's just a bottle, how can you let the head of the Long family take the time to meet him in person?

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming couldn't help but be a little vigilant in his heart, and followed Long Chengfei towards the inside.

Bypassing the huge hollow relief screen in front of you, your eyes suddenly open up.

The area of this house is larger than it seems from the outside, facing a garden, and not far away is a rockery lake, all of which maintain the style of ancient times.

Judging by the scale and quaint atmosphere, it is not an imitation, but has been passed down from generation to generation.

To have such a place in the center of the city where every inch of land is now at a premium is enough to prove the financial and material resources of the Long family.

Although the place is big, there are not many people to be seen along the way. Long Chengfei led him through the garden, and was about to walk up the stone bridge, when there was a sudden loud bang behind him!

Xiao Ming quickly turned around, and a boulder rockery more than two meters high suddenly fell!

"Be careful!" exclaimed several people in the distance.

Xiao Ming looked at the boulder in front of him, and he couldn't move.

What's going on?!

He was stunned for a while, and could only watch the boulder fall.

Long Chengfei, who was a few steps away from him, did not act, but cast a tentative gaze.

Until he saw that Xiao Ming was just standing in place, thinking that he was scared stupid, he immediately frowned.

Could it be that their previous speculations were wrong?

Xiao Ming stood in place, watching the boulder get closer and closer, smashing straight towards him, his legs not listening to him at all.

He gritted his teeth, quickly scolded in his heart, and subconsciously raised his hand to block.

Just when the palm of the hand just touched the rockery, several workers suddenly pulled the rope, and the boulder that had fallen stopped in mid-air in an instant, and it was a thousand shots!

Several workers hurriedly worked together to pull the boulder back again.

Cold sweat broke out on Xiao Ming's forehead, and he had palpitations.

"I'm sorry, are you alright?"

Long Chengfei hurriedly ran over and asked, "I didn't expect them to be so sloppy!"

Xiao Ming looked at his right hand, only to feel that the palm of his hand was a little painful, and shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's just a little bruised." ”

"That's good. Long Chengfei said indignantly: "I'll train them well when I go back." ”

As he spoke, he scolded a few workers in the distance with dissatisfaction.

Xiao Ming said: "It's okay, I'm not injured, let's go in first." ”

Long Chengfei took him inside, but when he turned his head, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes where Xiao Ming couldn't see.

It was indeed not an accident that the boulder would fall just now.

He deliberately asked people to wait here just to test Xiao Ming's ability.

Unexpectedly, he couldn't even dodge a stone, and he was stupid.

No matter how you look at it, it's not like what my grandfather said, but it's a hidden person.

As soon as the two entered the living room, an old but very energetic voice came from inside.

"You're Xiao Ming, right? The first time I came, I let you suffer such a fright, and when I turn around, I will discipline them well. ”

Xiao Ming turned his head to look when he heard the sound, and saw an old man with gray hair and a gray beard, walking out of it energetically.

I saw that he was wearing a handicap sweatshirt, full of energy, with a vigorous pace, very flexible, not at all like an old man of this age.

"Grandpa. Long Chengfei bowed slightly towards him in a proper manner.

As soon as Xiao Ming heard this, he knew that he had guessed correctly, and the person in front of him was the current patriarch of the Long family, Long Ao.

I remember reading it in a magazine before, Old Man Long should be more than a hundred years old now, I didn't expect to be so energetic.

"Little brother, are your hands okay?" asked Old Man Long with a smile.

As soon as Xiao Ming and Long Chengfei came in just now, he had been observing inside, and seeing that Xiao Ming couldn't dodge in the face of the collapse of the boulder, he even wanted to block it with his hands, this kind of behavior of blocking the car with his mantis arm, Long Ao was also puzzled in his heart.

However, more than 80 years of experience than Long Chengfei told him that people should not be disgraced.

Xiao Ming shook his head and said casually: "They didn't expect the stone to fall, it's none of their business, and I wasn't injured." ”

"That's good, if I let Little Brother Xiao get hurt, I can't escape the blame. ”

After speaking, he led Xiao Ming to sit down on a chair next to him and asked, "I heard Cheng Fei say that you have a bottle from the Tang Yao period that you want to auction?"

"Not bad. ”

Xiao Ming put the express box in his hand on the table.

Old Man Long's eyes swept away, and a few traces of surprise flashed in Qingming's eyes, but he didn't ask.

Xiao Ming remembered the thoughts in his heart when he walked in just now, and said first: "My clay vase can indeed be auctioned at the auction of the Long family, but you must agree to my request first." ”

When Old Man Long heard this, the light in his eyes flashed, and he looked at Xiao Ming with a little more appreciation.

"I haven't seen the auction items yet, so I made a request first, and it seems that Xiao Xiao's little brother is very confident in his collection. ”

Xiao Ming took a moment's heel.

"If you don't have faith, you won't bring it to the old man. ”

Old Man Long looked at him, his eyes narrow.

After half a ring, he laughed and said heartily: "Okay, what are the conditions, you can tell me about it." ”

Xiao Ming opened his mouth and said: "Whether it is this auction or other cooperation in the future, whether the auction is successful or not, except for me, Old Man Long and Long Cheng, no one can know that these things are provided by me, nor can my name and identity be exposed." ”

When Old Man Yao heard this, he immediately understood the meaning hidden in Xiao Ming's words.

In other words, it is very likely that he has more than just one bottle in his hands, but also other collectibles......

He had seen Xiao Ming's information before, and with his background, it was impossible to come up with a collection that could be put on the table.

Is he so confident that the bottle in his hand must be genuine, and will he agree?
