Chapter 288: To Each His Own
The genius girl is both happy and worried about the price of 500,000.
The joy is that it exceeds his expectations, and the worry is that the money to buy two production lines will be gone. Alas.
Next, there are porcelain from the Song and Yuan dynasties, calligraphy and ancient paintings from the Ming and Qing dynasties. All were sold at high prices.
The most special piece of auction has come out.
Yawning, Ling Mei suddenly came to her senses.
Probably because the results of the exchange in Wu Lao's big red robe last time were too good, and this time someone also took a plant to auction. It's a big cluster of orchids. Squeezing the Ae grows together, the petals are white with green silk, like a miniature version of the lotus.
Ling Mei blinked, shocked.
Su Guanheding?
There is actually a Suguan Heding in the capital?!
This is one of the rarest varieties of orchids!
There is no shortage of orchid lovers on the scene.
Wu Lao asked very curiously, "What kind of variety is this?" I've been raising orchids for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen them. It's amazing."
Chen Lao also said, "Obviously, it looks like an orchid leaf, but the flower doesn't have the slightest shadow of an orchid. Look, isn't it a bit like a lotus?"
A group of people studied around the flower for a long time, but no results came out.
The host smiled, "This orchid was accidentally bought by its owner from a vendor selling orchids. At that time, it only had two leaves, and it took six years to take care of it at home before it grew into what it is today. This variety of orchid is rare in the world, and it is the first case. So it hasn't been named yet. Today, if someone is destined to take away this pot of orchids, it must be his fellow practitioners. Ask this friend to give the flower a name."
The more Wu Lao looked at it, the more he liked it, and the more he liked it, the more itchy his hands became. I couldn't help but ask, "What is the reserve price?"
The host said, "Ten thousand."
Hiss.
10,000 flowers in a pot!
Crazy, isn't it?
But Wu Lao immediately followed: "Ten thousand is ten thousand."
Shi Shi tugged at his father's sleeve: "Dad." This orchid is by far the most energetic thing."
Shi Yang quietly bid: "Fifteen thousand."
I didn't expect Qi Haiping to ask for a price: "20,000."
Wu Lao was a little anxious, he didn't have so much cash!
Ling Mei immediately decided: "Fifty thousand."
Shi Yang looked coldly.
Shi Shi was very angry: "Here we go again. She snatched things from us every time."
The little golden tail wagged and glanced at them indifferently. Shi Yang is an exciting spirit: Xiao Lingmei has the help of Philip. It's not her opponent.
Wait a minute. Since Philip also needed something that contained energy, it meant that he had not yet recovered his strength after waking up from a long period of dormancy!
The scene was silent for a moment, and Shi Yang raised his sign: "Sixty thousand."
Ling Mei found out the other party's attitude towards orchids and asked Xiao Jin, "Does this orchid have a big effect on space?"
Xiao Jin sighed: A unique thing in the world, the energy is not small.
Ling Mei understood and persuaded: It seems that she can't grab it. It's okay. I'll find a way to contact the host, maybe there's more?
Xiao Jin looked at the orchid and fell on Ling Mei's lap.
"Not a single orchid. Let them be given to them if they want."
The Shi family photographed the orchid, and joy flashed on both of their faces.
The host asked happily, "Mr. Shi, Miss Shi, please give this flower a name."
Shi Shi thought for a while: "Since it resembles a lotus flower and its color is plain, why don't you call it a lotus?"
The host looked at Jiang Yuzhang's expressionless face and said regretfully, "This name, the owner doesn't like it very much."
Shi Shi twisted her eyebrows, still thinking about it, and Ling Mei's crisp voice sounded: "Suguan Heding."
Jiang Yuzhang raised his eyes.
Ling Mei explained: "The crown of the prime, the top of the lotus, is the supreme flower of the world."
Jiang Yuzhang nodded slowly.
There was a lot of applause on the field.
Wu Lao's eyes were different when he looked at Ling Mei: This little girl has a belly full of flowers! He likes it
Hellover. Alas, why did Chen Qianshu's grandson strike first?
Shi Shi's joy of getting the orchid was secretly a little bit darkened by Ling Mei's interruption.
Shi Yang smiled calmly: "Suguan Heding, good name."
The next box is only half a meter long and 30 centimeters wide, and it is a thin, oily and shiny yellow rosewood box, which is thin and flat, less than 7 centimeters high.
Wu Lao glanced at the people present with a slight smugness: No one must know what this is.
The host introduced: "Today I have to do a magic trick for everyone."
He rolled up his sleeves and opened the box, revealing several accessories of the same material. Ling Mei saw that the host skillfully combined the accessories of the mortise and tenon structure into four withered pillars, and then inserted them in the four corners of the box - "Eight Immortal Tables?"
Ling Mei was amazed: how ingenious the design of the ancients was! It's much more convenient to travel with it.
There was a commotion.
"Novel and interesting." Li Jiaheng was very interested, and said to his father with a smile, "You can put it in your study as an ornament."
Li Huisheng also nodded with a smile: "Interesting."
The host continued, "This kind of table was carried by the marching army during the Ming and Qing dynasties. But if you look closely, the raw materials, workmanship, and carving specifications of this table are not suitable for ordinary armies."
Li Jiaheng had already noticed that the four sides of the table were carved with dragon patterns and phoenix feathers, and his heart was even hotter.
"This table has gone through Kangxi hunting and Qianlong going down to the south of the Yangtze River. In the end, it ended up being lost to the people." He flipped the table upside down, revealing the copper work at the bottom. "If you look closely, every piece of bronze has the word 'Imperial System' on it."
Finally, he also took out an old yellowed photo, which was a photo of Cixi and the palace maid. The large coffee table with tea on the side is exactly the same as this table.
Ling Mei sighed. It's a chic goodie. She was moved.
The host announced: "During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a table of eight immortals with a yellow rosewood mechanism, with a reserve price of 80,000 yuan."
Li Huisheng lightly tapped his cane, and Li Jiaheng immediately increased the price: "90,000."
Qi Haiping bid: "100,000."
Shi Shi followed: "120,000."
Li Jiaheng was too lazy to grind with them: "180,000."
Shi Shi frowned and gave up after reaching 200,000. In the end, the Li family accepted this special table at a price of 220,000 yuan.
Finally, the finale of the game, Chen Qianshu's agate cup.
The agate cup came from the Southern Song Dynasty. Under the light, the whole piece of red, white and yellow agate is hollowed out and polished to a thickness as thin as a knife blade, and the workmanship is exquisite. The white part is like clouds and fog, transparent like ice, yellow and delicate, and red is gorgeous. The overall round double ear strap ring, the shape is extremely beautiful. The scene was suffocated and did not dare to make any sound, for fear that it would scare away the immortals who had fallen into the mortal world.
Immediately, a fierce competition broke out on the spot. The price has risen from 100,000 to 200,000 at the reserve price.
Ling Mei just helped raise the price, and in the end, the Li family got it at a price of 280,000.
Chen Lao didn't expect to be auctioned at such a high price. The walnut in Lede's hand almost flew out.
Ling Mei said to him, "You can buy two sets of courtyard houses."
Old Chen smiled, "Listen to you. Just buy two sets."
