Chapter 47: Auction of Antiques
And what about Chen Fan,
I felt very depressed, so I wanted to play around.
No, soon he came to the market by himself, with some money.
……
At this time, Chen Fan walked on the road, looked left and right, and found that the scenery on both sides was very good.
Exceptionally beautiful, refreshing, seeing the scene in front of him, in his mind, he suddenly remembered that in ancient times, there was a man named Liu Yong, in his poems, mentioned four words, "smoke willow painting bridge", thinking of this, Chen Fan felt that this so-called smoke willow painting bridge may be these pictures in front of him.
So he was in a very good mood and very happy, so he walked more vigorously, and got up quickly, and even hummed a little tune out of tune.
And he also saw passers-by on both sides, many young people, especially beautiful women, so that after seeing it, he had a pleasing feeling.
He began to sigh: Ah, it turns out that there are still a lot of beauties in this world!
In addition, he continued to walk forward, and soon there were countless small shops on both sides, which were dazzling and dizzying.
The peasants on the street pulled the wagons, back and forth, and there were also a few beggars who were unkempt, their faces were full of mud and dust, their clothes were in tatters, and in their hands, holding a broken bowl, they knelt on the ground and begged here, only to hear them crying incessantly: "Uncles, give me some money, as long as you are willing to give me a copper plate, I am willing to call you father!" ”
Out of kindness, Chen Fan stepped forward, took out some silver taels from his arms, and put them in his bowl.
After all, Chen Fan is a righteous and positive person, especially someone who has traveled from modern times, he is well-educated, and he knows that beggars are also people.
When I saw this kind of poor person, I felt compassion, and a kind of sympathy arose spontaneously.
It was incumbent upon him to help him.
Then he heard the beggar keep saying thank you to himself, thank you daddy, but he was not so interested in these things, and he turned away and continued on his way.
In fact, he didn't know where he wanted to go, it was nothing more than shopping.
It can only be said that wherever you go, you can count it anywhere.
Not long after, there was a noisy voice from the opposite side, which looked very lively and noisy, and it must be an extremely reverie and at the same time very attractive place, so he was very curious, so he suddenly turned his head to look, and saw a sign hanging in the attic next to him, which read:
Hidden Jade Pavilion.
After seeing this name, Chen Fan immediately knew that this was an antique shop.
Inside, there must be a lot of priceless treasures, since so many people are gathered there, it must be a good antique, thinking of this, Chen Fan's curiosity is getting stronger and stronger, so he began to walk forward quickly, and walked directly into this jade pavilion.
After walking in, it was really lively.
This newly opened antique shop, I heard the people next to me say that the antiques here, once you buy it, will inevitably get a 9% discount.
It is fascinating, and countless rich people have gathered here just for discounts and good treasures.
And at this time,
On the steps of the hall stood the owner of the house, wearing sunglasses, holding a hammer in his right hand, and wearing a black coat.
At this time, in his left hand, he was holding a small wooden box.
No one knows what is inside this box.
But I heard the boss begin to introduce: "Gentlemen, ladies, don't miss it, the small box in my hand now, the antiques inside, but it is a good thing, according to legend, this is a royal item that has been handed down from the Xia Shang era to the present, and I heard that it is a treasure that the concubine Daji of the king of Shang has personally used, so once you buy him, then you will inevitably see his value in the days to come, and continue to rise, until it is worth a fortune." ”
"But there is only one treasure, there are many audiences, there are many buyers, and it is impossible for everyone to be able to buy it, so from now on, a copper plate starts."
So under the attention of tens of thousands of people, countless audiences and buyers began to be curious, and they were all guessing what good things were in this box.
And who is the buyer who can buy it, and who is the flower.
And at this time,
Chen Fan has also stepped into the crowd, although he is silent, but his ears are listening to all directions, his eyes are also looking around, looking at the crowd in this antique shop, they are all the same.
Only to the left of himself, an old man.
He was wearing silk and satin, and two little slaves stood behind him, serving him tea and water, pressing his shoulders, and beating his back, and he looked like a rich landlord.
At this time, the field was endless, and the people coming and going were simply bustling, and it was soon crowded.
It can be described as a sea of people, rubbing shoulders, such a grand occasion, it is really the first time to see it.
In addition to these old men, there is also a gentleman next to him, who looks handsome and chic, and holds a beautiful young and beautiful woman in his arms that people can't help but want to forget at a glance, it seems that this is also a rich second generation.
I have to say that there are a lot of rich people here.
At this time, in order to make money, the boss also patted his ass: "Ladies and gentlemen, come quickly, please come quickly, please invite you, a few of you, why don't you quickly make a spacious and bright road for these masters, in this simple house where you can't see your fingers, they can come to the humble house, so that the small shop can no longer flourish."
subsequently
The auction officially began.
"Below, a copper plate starts, start!"
As soon as the boss's voice fell, several people immediately exhibited below, and they all began to shout!
"I'll make two copper plates!"
"I'll make five copper plates!"
"I'll make ten copper plates!"
But as we all know, these are also hot hot fields, and you don't have to take them seriously.
After all, there are many rich people who can come to the antique store, and it is impossible to say that ten copper plates are the highest price, so they do not have a good impression of this time, they are very much looking forward to the back, the rich people come out, they shout the price, what is it.
Soon, the first rich man came forward.
"I'll give out a hundred copper plates!"
As soon as these words came out, many people in it began to look at this person, they wanted to know who this rich man was.
When everyone looked at it, it turned out to be the little young master just now.
Sure enough, with a woman in his arms, he was able to ask for a price, and he was really a rich man.
Among the crowd, there was a woman who immediately cast a look of envy, jealousy and hatred, and sighed: Oh, I don't know if this handsome and dashing boy is still short of women? I'm also pretty good, and I'm willing to be a cow and a horse, I just want to live with him every day, of course, I'm not greedy for his money, I just don't know what to do, and I just go deep.
At this time, I saw that the rest of the people also began to continue to shout.
"Boss, I'll give you a hundred taels of silver!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was taken aback.
Good guy, there were a hundred copper plates just now, but now it has been directly transformed, and it has immediately become a hundred taels of silver!
Oh my God, that's not a small amount!
Who is this rich man?
So they sighed, and began to turn their heads with extremely surprised and shocked faces.
Sure enough, it was the old man just now.
Sure enough, he was a rich man, a landlord.
After seeing him, many people began to whisper and discuss.
"Who the hell is this old guy? Why don't I know him, is he our local, why can't I hear the accent? ”
One of them immediately began to ask.
And the passer-by next to him also immediately spoke freely, "You say him, I know, I know him, he is the nouveau riche who looks like he is a well-known household name within a radius of five hundred miles, but he is from other places, the locals don't know, it's normal, but he doesn't know whether his money is coming from right or not, after all, I don't know, how he makes money, maybe he is doing something shady and accumulating so much money." ”
At this time, the boss glanced at the old man and felt that a hundred taels was enough.
If you sell a hundred taels of silver, you will make a sure profit.
So he immediately began to shout: "Everyone, if there is no bidding, if not, I will start to make a final decision." ”
Everyone was silent.
Just when the boss wanted to raise the hammer, another person stood up and immediately shouted: "I will give two hundred taels of silver!" ”
At this time, countless people once again shifted their curious eyes to the source of the direction of the sound.
Then
But he is a middle-aged man.
He has a bearded face, but he looks burly, powerful, and has the feeling of a butcher.
When everyone saw it, they were also silent.
Why?
It's because of this strong man, in his eyes, he glared angrily, as if whoever dared to give him a price, he would kill someone, he was so jealous and hateful.
So there were a few timid rich people, afraid of being hammered to death by strong men, so they kept silent and didn't dare to speak.
They shivered, looked at the strong man, and felt that the antique was probably the strong man's.
"Two hundred taels of silver at a time!"
At this time, the boss also began to drop the hammer immediately.
When the hammer fell for the first time, the audience was silent, after all, two hundred taels of silver was already a high price, plus the strong man looked very good and lost his temper, they didn't dare to provoke this strong man.
"Two hundred taels of silver twice!"
Seeing that the people below stopped talking, the boss began to drop the hammer again.
Still no one spoke.
So, he continued to shout, "Three hundred taels of silver, three times!" ”
The hammer was raised high again,
however
At the moment when the third hammer was about to hit the ground,
A voice suddenly came from the crowd, broad-headed!
"I'll give you a hundred taels of gold!"
"I want this antique!"
