Chapter 178: Auction (7)
Everyone returned to their places, and the auction continued.
Zhou Tian stood in the center of the booth, his face was calm, but his heart was secretly discussing, today is really a good thing! After a pause, he said loudly:
"Everyone, let's auction the fifth treasure!"
Two big men carried an antique case table to the booth, and everyone's eyes were attracted by the case, Le Jin hurriedly came to the private room on the third floor with a few guards and a doctor, and the doctor changed Zhuang Shaoyou's dressing on the spot and retreated the ruptured wound.
Cai Yan looked at Zhuang Shaoyou with great concern, and when he saw the three huge wounds on his back, his heart was sour, and two of them were left when he blocked the knife for himself! However, Cai Yan quickly reacted again, turned his head with a blushing face, embarrassed to look at it again.
The shopkeeper of Zhen Ji Antique Store stepped forward, carefully looked at the desk, stroked it lightly with his hand, put his nose up and sniffed it, and finally gently tapped the desk with his hand, and couldn't help but admire:
"This is the fragrant sandalwood from the islands off the coast of Lingnan! It is the finest wood in the world, and the furniture made of this wood can last for thousands of years! Judging from the experience of the old man for many years, this case is almost the first year of the Han Dynasty! It's been 300 years! This case is a relic of the palace of the Han Dynasty and the wealthy families of the south of the Yangtze River, and it is suspected that it is a relic of the mansion of Liu Biao, the king of Wu during the time of Emperor Jing! The old decay is estimated at more than 12 million! ”
Everyone in the audience suddenly gasped, even Zhou Tian was a little surprised, the materials and years of this case that he had identified before were consistent with what the shopkeeper Zhen said, but they didn't see that this was a relic of King Wu Liu Biao's mansion, originally the valuation of this case was between one million and eight million, but now the value has definitely doubled!
Zhou Tian smiled: "Thank you Zhen shopkeeper!" I almost looked away from the shallow learning in the next place! ”
Shopkeeper Zhen said with a smile: "Boss Zhou is too modest!" The old man had only seen similar artifacts in the mansion of King Wu Liu Bi before, so he knew a thing or two, just a coincidence! ”
Zhou Tian turned around and said to everyone present: "Everyone, the auction will start below, and the reserve price is eight million!" ”
"Wait!"
Before Zhou Tian's words fell, an eager voice came from the third floor, and everyone looked upstairs curiously, not only did they see countless treasures today, but also interludes! This time it was from the guests on the third floor, what kind of story would it be? Everyone's hearts are full of anticipation!
Cai Yong eagerly appeared at the railing, staring at the case with shining eyes, but he noticed that the eyes of the audience were focused on him, so he realized that he was a little out of shape, so he coughed lightly and said, "The old man is out of eight million!" After speaking, the old face couldn't help but turn red.
As soon as Zhuang Shaoyou changed his medicine, bandaged his wounds, and dressed neatly, he was stunned to see Cai Yong's actions, and he was a little puzzled! However, this Mr. Cai seems to have taken a fancy to this case, since this is the case, there is naturally no reason to auction it again, but it can't be too straightforward, and it has to be sent just right, and it can't fall in front of his old man! It's a lot of thought!
Cai Yong hesitated, but still walked quickly downstairs, and Zhuang Shaoyou also hurriedly followed downstairs.
Soon Cai Yong came to the first floor, and couldn't wait to rush to the case, and the eyes of the audience were moving with Cai Yong, and everyone could see that this Confucian had taken a fancy to this case! Those businessmen and some officials were originally a little interested in the relics of the Wu Palace, but now that they have all converged, don't be bored!
Cai Yong rushed to the front of the desk, excited, leaned down, gently stroked the desk, as if caressing his beloved woman, very attentively, and then put his ear to the table, lightly tapped a few times with his fingers, with a smile on his face, as if he was worried that he had heard it wrong, all knocked a few times, and so on several times, then he stood up contentedly and exclaimed: "It's really a good wood, you can make a peerless famous piano!" ”
The audience was suddenly silent, and they all looked at Cai Yong with strange faces, Cai Yong seemed to be aware, the old face couldn't help but blush, coughed lightly, and said: "This case, the old man is eight, uh, eight million!" ”
Zhuang Shaoyou suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "If no one raises the price again, then make a deal!" Someone, send this thing to Mr. Cai's house! ”
Everyone present knows it, and of course no one will be bored! But Cai Yong couldn't bear it anymore, and couldn't help but say: "The old man has no money!" I don't want to owe you either! You can say a condition, as long as the old man can do it, he will be worth the price of this case! ”
Zhuang Shaoyou's eyes rolled and he smiled: "Teacher Cai, this thing should be regarded as a meeting gift for students to apprentice!" ”
Cai Yong pondered for a while, and barely made sense, so he nodded: "Okay!" From now on, you will be a student of the teacher! But don't expect the teacher to treat you differently because of this! ”
Zhuang Shaoyou shook his head to the ground: "The teacher is rigorous in his studies, and the students must be diligent and studious, and they will not disgrace the teacher's reputation!" ”
Cai Yan upstairs looked at everything in front of him, secretly opened the box sent by Zhuang Shaoyou just now, gently stroked the huge pearl, and pondered, this pearl must also be priceless! How can you repay such a valuable gift from someone else?
Cai Yan's heart is very complicated, Zhuang Shaoyou is a student of his father, so he can come to the house justifiably in the future, and he will have more opportunities to get along with him, and he has some expectations; But recalling that he and Wei Zhongdao also knew each other like this, I couldn't help but feel a little sad. ”
Everyone returned to their places, and the auction continued.
At this time, He Jin's He got up again, and said proudly: "Boss Zhou, the money is here, deliver it!" ”
Zhou Tian glared at Na He and said lukewarmly: "As you wish!" ”
Ronghua arranged manpower below to start counting the money and delivering the goods.
Zhou Tian ignored it anymore, cleared his throat, and continued: "There is the first treasure below!" ”
A pair of twin maids walked up to the stage with a box in their hands, and suddenly everyone's eyes were attracted to the twins, and the men in the audience were staring at the twins with bright eyes, and the women in the audience were looking at the twin sisters with jealousy.
Na He also stared at the pair of twins with squinting eyes, and his mind couldn't help but think about it, if he could get it back, a pair of ...... How nice that would be! So he said to Zhou Tian: "Boss Zhou! I have one thing strings attached! This pair of maids is a gift for this coral! Otherwise, you will be rude and cancel this transaction! ”
When the two maids heard this, their faces turned pale, and the box in their hands fell to the ground with a "snap", and they looked at He with a lewd smile in horror, and they could already imagine what the consequences would be if they fell into his hands!
Zhou Tian looked at He angrily, this bastard is so shameless! But when I saw the box fall to the ground, I was taken aback, this is a priceless treasure, although it is not unaffordable, but the things inside are really not allowed to be lost, if it is broken, it is very unlucky! So he eagerly walked over, picked up the box, opened it gently, and looked at it carefully, as if it was not damaged, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhuang Shaoyou stood expressionlessly at the railing: "If you don't want to die, hurry up and change things!" The rules here are set by the general! It's not your turn to make conditions! If you dare to repent, General Ben will screw off your head and throw it at the General's Mansion! Let He buy money and goods! ”
Na He was frightened by the evil aura emitted by Zhuang Shaoyou, and quickly shut up and ran to find Ronghua to make a settlement.
The twin sisters looked at Zhuang Shaoyou with tears in their eyes, full of gratitude and admiration, it seemed that Zhuang Shaoyou was willing to let them die immediately! Zhuang Shaoyou was a little unnatural by those two pairs of burning eyes, and hurriedly returned to his seat.
Zhou Tian saw everything, smiled slightly, and said to the second daughter: "Why don't you hurry up?" ”
The pair of twin sisters suddenly woke up, quickly picked up the box, got up and walked to the stage, the eyes of the men in the audience suddenly converged a lot, this is Zhuang Shaoyou's woman, she can only see but not touch!
The two sisters lightly opened the lid of the box, and a pair of emerald green jade carvings appeared, and the shopkeeper Wang of Wang Ji Jewelry Building couldn't help but say: "Boss Zhou, this is Xiuyan jade from Xinchang?" Such a big block? The carver has the wind of the south of the Yangtze River! Absolutely superb! If there is only one, it will not be able to show its preciousness, but this identical pair of kodama unicorns makes people feel auspicious, and it also makes its value several times higher, and the old estimate should be more than 18 million! ”
Zhou Tian smiled: "You have all heard it, authentic Liaodong Xinchang Xiuyan jade, this is two pieces of jade with the same size, texture and color that were finally discovered, and these two pieces of jade were unearthed in the shape of a unicorn!" It is also carved by a famous artist from the land south of the Yangtze River, and the auction will start below! The reserve price is 10 million! ”
"What's so expensive? I'll give 10 million! ”
For this sudden sound, the audience seems to have seen it all right, but they are all curious looking around for the owner of the voice, it seems that it is not the first floor, nor the second floor, and there is no one on the third floor!
I don't know who shouted: "At the door!" ”
Everyone followed the prestige, and saw a man standing at the door, about thirty or forty years old, with a pale face and a bad complexion!
"The emperor has arrived! Why don't you hurry up and say hello! A yin and yang strange voice resounded throughout the audience.
The people on the third floor were the first to react, because these people had the most opportunity to see Liu Hong, and they were more familiar with Liu Hong and Jian Shuo's voice, so they all hurriedly got up and ran downstairs, and the others also reacted, and they all gathered downstairs quickly.
The entire auction hall was in a commotion, and Liu Hong frowned slightly and said, "Hurry back!" I'm here to see the excitement today! By the way, take a break! Do whatever you want! Don't spoil my Yaxing! ”
Everyone was stunned, standing in place, neither advancing nor retreating, Liu Hong gestured to Jian Shuo next to him, Jian Shuo suddenly understood, the emperor has been in a very bad mood recently, today I heard that Zhuang Shaoyou had an auction, it sounds very lively, so Jian Shuo encouraged Liu Hong to come and see the excitement, scatter his heart, maybe the mood will get better!
"Everyone, hurry up and return to their respective positions, don't spoil the emperor's Yaxing! What to do, what to do! Maloccuss! ”
