Chapter Twenty-Six: Shine

In the end, this farce ended with Xu Tingting's shameful departure, everyone was still talking, and the host picked up the microphone again and began to attract everyone's attention: "Dear guests, that little episode just now made us understand, this jade cicada entrusts Miss An's love for the children in the mountainous areas, for the children to have books to read, in order not to let Miss An's love fall through, let us bid enthusiastically, the starting price is still one yuan, now please bid." ”

As soon as his extremely incendiary words fell, Cao Yi immediately offered a bid: "I'll pay one million." There was an uproar all around, and even the host was shocked. This jumped directly from 1 yuan to 1 million, but it directly doubled by a million times, who has ever seen such a bid in the auction room.

Cao Yi smiled bitterly in his heart, he had no choice, after making such a fuss today, he found that there were several antique collectors who were obviously very interested in this jade cicada. Therefore, he had to preemptively call out a high price to show his determination to win this jade cicada.

It's a pity that his abacus played very well, but those really powerful antique collectors really didn't take his offer seriously. Because the value of this antique is very difficult to define, if you want to say that this jade cicada is only worth 600,000, you can say that it is worth 6 million, and no one will object. It mainly has a lot to do with the number of people it has in the world. Although this jade cicada has gone through more than 2,000 years, its condition is still quite intact, and it is estimated that the number of existing in the world will not exceed 10, so it has a high collection value.

"I'll give 1.1 million." At this time, someone spoke cautiously.

"Okay, Mr. Zhao is bidding 1.1 million now, do any friends increase the price? Every penny of your money is a love ......" the host's voice also rang out.

"I'll give 1.2 million." It was Mr. Li from another company who was also a veteran antique collector.

At this time, An Xin smiled and said, "I'll give two million." ”

"This Miss An took out the items, why do you want to buy them back by yourself, but the price is too high, what a loser."

"That's it, no matter how precious this jade cicada is, it's not worth so much money."

The price shouted by An Xin caused a commotion on the scene again, and many people who usually didn't know much about the collecting world began to whisper again.

The expression on Cao Yi's face was not very good-looking: "Miss An, there is no need to shout so hard. ”

An Xin smiled: "I heard that it costs a lot of money to build a better primary school, if Mr. Cao is reluctant to pay this money, let the An family do this good deed." ”

Cao Yi smiled bitterly: "Yes, I'm afraid of you, I'll pay 2.2 million." The latter sentence was shouted at the host on stage.

Just when the two were secretly competing, an old voice sounded: "I'll give 2.8 million." ”

Cao Yi immediately looked over, but found that it was Old Man Song who was shouting the price, and he said with some tears and laughter: "Uncle, what kind of fun are you always following." ”

Old Man Song stroked his white beard and said with a smile: "This auction is originally the one with the highest price, when you brought this jade cicada for the first time, the old man and I took a fancy to it, but I was embarrassed to mention it to you, now that the girl of the An family finally took it out, of course I have to give it a try." ”

An Xin smiled when she heard this: "That is, in the auction hall, depending on my ability, I will pay three million." ”

"Hey, it's really hard for a woman to raise, I'll pay 3.5 million." Cao Yi said helplessly.

The people around were amused by these three people, and they wanted to watch An Xin or Old Man Song continue to raise the bar for this Cao Yi, but who knew that An Xin flickered her big eyes and smiled and stopped talking, and the old man also stroked his beard again and again and closed his mouth.

The host also paused for a moment before he spoke: "Okay, now Cao Gongzi is bidding three and a half million, and there is no one who is higher than this price, if not, this jade cicada will belong to Cao Gongzi, three and a half million for the first time, three for the second time, three for the third time, for the transaction, thank you for the jade cicada donated by Miss An, and thank you for Cao Gongzi's generosity." ”

Cao Yi was also still waiting for An Xin to continue to raise the bar with him, in his opinion, if he wanted to buy this jade cicada back, it would cost at least five or six million, but who knew that An Xin suddenly died down, and he was still a little uncomfortable and said: "Why don't you shout the price." ”

An Xin glanced at him and said, "Why, it looks like you're too cheap." ”

Cao Yi really wanted to slap himself when he heard this, making you cheap.

In fact, An Xin also accepted it when she saw it, and she really wanted to make trouble with Cao Yi like this, forcing him to spend five or six million to buy the jade cicada back. At that time, she was out of the limelight, but the Liangzi of the Cao family was also completely concluded. This is the best ending, the An family is in the limelight, and it does not fundamentally offend the Cao family, which can be regarded as a happy person.

Subsequently, more than a dozen things were auctioned, but the high price of more than 3.5 million was never auctioned again, so the well-deserved standard king tonight is undoubtedly the eight-knife cicada of the Han Dynasty.

After the auction, the host invited Mr. Song to come to the stage to write an inscription for the auction together with the donors of today's bid king and enough (buy) marking. An Xin didn't expect to arrange such a play in the end, and she was a little stunned. Father An said a little worriedly: "Otherwise, I'll go up and write an inscription." He couldn't bear to bear that An Xin's good situation that she had finally opened up today would be ruined by her own dog-like words.

An Xin and Father An thought differently, she pondered for a moment and said, "No need Dad, I'll go up by myself." "At this last moment, if she doesn't go up, it will make people think that you are cowardly.

At this time, there was a warm applause, Miss Etiquette had already prepared a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the stage, Old Man Song had taken the lead on the rostrum, Cao Yi also followed, An Xin no longer hesitated when she saw this, she also moved the lotus step lightly, and her steps swayed on the rostrum.

The three of them each held a wolf pen and lowered their heads, and swayed it to their heart's content. After a while, Cao Yi took the lead in putting down the brush in his hand, followed by Old Man Song, and then An Xin. Miss Manners held up their respective creations, and the crowd let out an exclamation of "Wow", followed by a crazy crackling applause.

I saw that Cao Yi wrote "Caring for Children Starts with Me", he used willow style, the penmanship is strong and powerful, sharp and angular, deep and open, delicate and neat style, it can be seen that he has spent a lot of effort in calligraphy.

The old man Song wrote "Children are Our Hope", the old man used his commonly used wild grass, the whole character rhyme is vivid, wild and uninhibited, it can be seen how deep the old man's calligraphy skills are in the past few decades.

An Xin wrote "Everything is for Children", she used Yan Ti, the words she wrote were square and dense, sparse inside and outside, simple and generous, the pen was strong and round, and the momentum was solemn and majestic. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would have believed that this character was written by a young woman in her twenties, and her characters were not inferior to those of Old Man Song, and even a few points stronger than Cao Yi's. You must know that Mr. Song is one of the best calligraphers in China, and these three characters have attracted countless amazements and praises. Countless flashes of light flashed at them.

The two elders of the An family were shocked by the words inscribed by their daughter, and they could imagine that the news that appeared in the newspaper every day would make An Xin ashamed, and she would completely take off her previous straw bale hat.

(I ask for a recommendation, I ask for a collection, and I ask for all kinds, and I please.) )
