Gao Zhong stayed in Xiping Palace this night.

This palace was originally the palace of Li Jiqian, the Taizu of Western Xia, when he moved to build the capital, and in 1002 AD, Li Jiqian occupied Lingzhou, which originally belonged to the Song Dynasty. After moving to occupy Xiping Mansion, it is believed that Xiping Mansion controls Heshuo in the north and Qingliang in the south, and guards the key points in the west according to the upper reaches of the road. If you can repair the city, dig trenches, train troops and accumulate food, once you attack from all sides, Guanzhong will be unable to defend against it. Most of the people here are the Song people who are civilized and civilized, and they are still polite and studious, and the capital city here can improve the overall quality of the whole clan, and the party can also take advantage of this place to become the capital of the future and become the hegemon of one party. Although Pingxia is the base of Tuoba life, its land is remote and not as promising as Xipingfu. So he ordered his younger brother Li Jiyu and dental school Li Zhibai to supervise the people to build palaces and temples, and the capital was tentatively set in Xiping. Li Jiqian was named King Xiping by his ancestor, the king of Xiping, and he himself was canonized as the king of Xiping by Liao, so he changed the name of Lingzhou to Xiping Mansion. The palace built is the Xiping Palace. After Li Jiqian's son Xia Taizong Li Deming succeeded to the throne, he believed that Xiping Mansion was located in a place of four stops, which was not conducive to defense, and the situation was not as favorable as Huaiyuan. In 1020, he sent the minister He Chengzhen to lead the servants, crossed the Yellow River to the north to build a city, built a city palace and a sect of the community, and set the capital here, named Xingzhou.

After moving the capital, the Xiping palace rarely lived, except for the emperors to Xiping Mansion or the emperor's direct descendants such as the prince and the princess came to Xiping to live for a few days, other people could not live, even the princess who was married could not live. The princess of this county is an exception because she is a prisoner. But they can only live in the palace where the original princess lives.

When she arrived at the new place, the princess was very excited, and in the afternoon she learned the ritual of opening the hammer in the back field, except for a few palace maids, the men under the original high favor were not there, and they could let go of their hearts here, and they did not need to be bound by the etiquette of the court. The two of them are satisfied, but it hurts a few palace maids to sleep badly, especially Xi'er, who lives on the side, the princess doesn't know why she drinks so much water today, she went in, and she didn't let Gao Pet get off her body, although she has seen this kind of occasion many times, but it has survived the voice of **, she is doing it inside, she *, she leaked a few times, and when the princess called again, Xi'er almost collapsed and couldn't walk.

"Xi'er, are you feeling unwell?" What is comfortable and what is uncomfortable? I like to watch and listen, but my heart is itchy and unbearable, which is comfortable and uncomfortable. Xi'er didn't know what to say. Gao Pet didn't dare to squeak, how could Gao Pet not know that this kind of occasion was torture for these palace maids, so it is said that people in the palace often grind tofu, which is really normal, this is the basic need of normal people.

"Xi'er, come over here, I'll take a look,"

The princess exposed most of her body and grabbed a handful under Xi'er's skirt, which was already mushy. It turned out that this was the case, and the princess understood. It seems that this princess of Xingguo is not an idiot either. Gao Pet was speechless. Whether it is a princess or a prince or grandson, it turns out that it is the same in this human nature.

"Don't run around, it's a cold day, just come with us, my feet are a little cold, you go back and cover my feet."

Before the princess got married, as long as it was cold, she covered the princess's feet for a few days, and used her chest to warm the princess's feet and returned to her bed, and sometimes the princess didn't say anything when she fell asleep, so the two slept until dawn. So what is close-fitting, this is close-fitting, some girls in the basin have become the master's concubines, which is justified.

Although the princess also thought that she didn't want to give her husband to someone else on this honeymoon, even Xi'er, anything could happen in this empty former palace.

On the sixth day of December, this is the day when the Sino Auction House opens its hammer.

Due to the large number of people this time, there are regulations on the number of people entering the auction hall at noon, except for the number of people in the hall on the first floor of the private room, which cannot exceed three, and the number of people in the private room can be appropriately increased, generally not more than six. Those who enter the auction hall who are qualified to raise cards must pay a deposit of 2,000 taels, so as not to be auctioned and unable to pay the money and affect the auction. This deposit is the penalty for the unsuccessful auction. No one has a problem with this deposit, and some even have to deposit all their cash in the auction house. This is more secure than their own safekeeping, and the auction house has the credit guarantee of King Shu and the Western Xia Kingdom, even if the auction house charges a penny of storage fees, they still deposit it, and there are not only gold and silver, but also treasures. After the treasure is appraised, it is placed in a special box for safekeeping, with two locks, and the treasure can only be taken out by the manager of the auction house and the customer. If the auction house is unable to get the treasure in the end, it must compensate for the agreed value. The auction house is to be credible, and generally will not encroach on treasures, in order to prevent customer fraud, the valuation should of course be two or three percent lower.

In order to prevent too many idle people, a certain amount of tickets will be charged for those who do not have auction cards.

Gao Pet They came to the auction hall Because the princess and Gao Pet are shareholders, there are many people who are highly favored, and the private room is also the best. The private room is also mixed in the private room of Gao Pet, so this private room has eight people: Gao Pet, Princess, Xi'er, Second Uncle, Deng Family Three Brothers and Sisters, and Qian Jichen.

The large auction hall is renovated from the lobby with a larger depth, because the rules and regulations are higher at that time, there is a second floor, which must become a private room surrounded by three sides, and the downstairs can accommodate two or three hundred people, and there are twelve private rooms. The room number is divided into two sides, the left is the single number, and the right is the double number.

When the time comes, the auction will open for about half an hour, and when the princess picks up the delicate wooden hammer and knocks it on the auction table, the auction will officially begin.

In honor of this great hammer, the first auction item was a great treasure, and no one would have thought that someone would have such a treasure and put it up for auction.

I saw that the auctioneer of the Sino Auction House asked two assistants to carry a treasure covered with red envelopes and silk to the stage and put it on the exhibition table. The people below are very curious about what kind of objects are being filmed this time, and some people are flipping through the "Treasure Book" and find such a large treasure from it.

I saw the auctioneer on the stage tap the table with a wooden hammer, and raised his hands to signal everyone to calm down. This hands-on action had a certain effect, and the discussion reports in the field gradually became smaller.

"Today is the first public auction of the treasure in history, and in order to commemorate this first significant auction item, the Bank will give a glass work worth 1,000 yuan "Shepherd Boy" to the owner of this item." The auctioneer paused. From a lacquerware is to take out a white glasswork:

"You see, this is a cow and a shepherd boy riding on the back of an ox, the buffalo is in a realistic form, the shepherd boy is lively and cute, and the flute is in his mouth, which is a picture of the shepherd boy's late return. We can imagine that the sun is also setting in the west, drinking smoke is rising, and the shepherd boy is leisurely riding on the back of a buffalo, playing the piccolo, and a pastoral scenery of the south of the Yangtze River jumps out. ”

Here's a guy asking:

"You said that the flute is in the mouth, so there is a flute?"

"That's the greatness of this work, the shepherd boy is in the shape of a transverse flute, with a flute, and without a flute?" Everyone, laughing, if it is really like making a flute, isn't it suspected of painting a snake?

"Well, this giveaway is valued by the appraiser of Sino Auction House, 'Believe in Sinowa, that's right.'"

"Below we will have the privilege of witnessing the opening of the first lot. Next, I would like to invite our No. 2 appraiser of Sino to introduce the lots. The No. 2 appraiser used to be a professional antique appraiser of the Great Song Dynasty and is now a guest appraiser of the Western Xia Dynasty, with very rich experience, special research on ancient treasures, especially bronze and jade, and familiar with various ancient inscriptions. Appraiser No. 2 is invited. "Usually the works are presented by the auctioneer, but this is done to highlight the authority of the Sino appraiser.

The second appraiser came to the stage, and at the same time there was a beautiful Luo Li, who used a pair of jade hands to break the red silk cloth covering the treasure.

"You see, it's an ancient bronze, and it's huge. The shape is majestic, and the shoulders, abdomen and feet are cleverly designed as four curly-horned sheep, each based on a corner, highlighting the dynamism and ingenuity in the solemn silence. The whole device has a beautiful pattern and smooth and strong lines. The whole body is decorated with fine cloud and thunder patterns, the neck is decorated with banana leaf patterns and ribbon-like gluttonous patterns composed of Kui dragon patterns, the shoulders are decorated with four high-relief coiled dragons, the front body of the sheep is decorated with long-crowned bird patterns, and the circle feet are decorated with Kui dragon patterns. The corners of Fangzun and the center line of each side are all placed with raised ridges, which are not only used to cover up the traces of the model, but also to improve the monotony of the corners of the utensils, enhance the momentum of the modeling, and integrate into one. ”

"This vessel adopts the decorative technique of combining round carving and relief carving, skillfully combining the four sheep with the body as a whole, so that the original rigid shape of the utensils becomes very vivid, organically combining the utensils with animal shapes, and is good at grasping the processing between plane ornamentation and three-dimensional sculpture, and achieves the perfect combination of technology and art."

"According to our years of research, this inscription pattern and style is earlier than the Zhou Dynasty, and it should be the work of the late Shang period.

"The bronze square statue of the four sheep is one foot five inches wide and two feet high, and weighs eighty-five pounds."

"It is the largest Shang Dynasty bronze in recorded history and known to us."

"This is a highly collectible Late Shang bronzes."

"Thank you, No. 2 appraiser, just now No. 2 appraiser made an appraisal of this treasure, our appraiser made a starting price of 10,000 yuan, each time the price is increased by 500 yuan, the highest price wins, and there is also a glass sculpture worth 1,000 yuan as a gift from our bank. Bidding is now open. ”

At this time, someone held up a sign.

"11,000 on the 17th, 11,500 on the 23rd, and there are no bids."

"Okay, No. 85 bid 15,000, bid to a new height, No. 66 bid 18,000, there is, box 25,000 on the second box, and 30,000 on the twelfth."

"There is a new bid, box 7 is outstanding 50,000, 20,000 is added, 20,000 is bid, 20,000 is bid again, 55,000, good 55,000 for the first time...
