Chapter 30: The Gift
Jiang Yanzhi coughed lightly twice, trying to interrupt what the old man was about to say.
"It's my old woman, oops, her temper is really not easy to mess with."
Old Man Jiang's voice reached the ears of the two people, Xu Zhixia blinked, as if he couldn't believe what his ears heard, and confirmed to Old Man Jiang again.
I saw the other party nodding with a smile, a pair, do you think I will lie to you?
Xu Zhexia silently took a step back, and instinctively told himself that it was better not to talk at this time.
Jiang Yanzhi looked at the old man and turned around, she explained:
"When he was young, he was a prodigal and was chased by his grandmother with a knife for three streets, so he kept saying that the old lady was a tigress."
Listening to Jiang Yanzhi's explanation, Old Man Jiang snorted twice with disdain and muttered quietly.
"Am I not right? Which family's lady went to the bar with a knife to arrest someone? ”
Old Man Jiang's voice was loud, and he couldn't imagine that such a person would be afraid of his wife.
The corners of Xu Zhexia's mouth curved, but he just looked at him and didn't speak.
Jiang Yanzhi didn't want to talk nonsense with the old man, so he signed Xu Zhexia's hand and wanted to go outside.
"Eh! Where are you going? ”
"The auction is about to start, and we're back to our places."
He waved at the old man behind him and did not continue to speak.
The old man was not annoyed, and watched the two of them leave hand in hand, silently showing a smile.
He sighed, looked at the figures of the two leaving and shook his head, then raised his eyes to look out the window, and sighed in a low voice: "It's so nice to be a young man now." ”
He seemed to have thought of something, and the smile on the corner of his mouth rose unconsciously.
Xu Zhexia and Jiang Yanzhi came down from upstairs, and happened to meet Song Shijing, Qu Ningqin, and his wife, and simply said hello.
"Third brother, sister-in-law."
Qu Ningqin smiled at Xu Zhexia, let go of Song Shijing's hand holding him, and gently held Xu Zhexia.
"Why are you here?"
Jiang Yanzhi raised his eyebrows, looked at Qu Ningqin with some vigilance, and asked, "It can't be that you have fallen in love with some jade that you like very much, right?" ”
"yes, otherwise what am I bringing her for?"
Song Shijing nodded, and his eyes fell on the diamond ring in Xu Zhexia's hand.
He smiled: "I said, third brother, why did you buy this pink heart at that time, it turned out to be a gift for my sister-in-law." ”
After that, his gaze fell on Jiang Yanzhi again, and the faint smile between his eyebrows and eyes looked a little ill-intentioned.
Jiang Yanzhi nodded as a matter of course: "It's a gift, and I don't see you buy something for Ququ." ”
Song Shijing choked, turned his head to meet Qu Ningqin's gaze, only to see the other party nodding and saying solemnly: "Yes, he really hasn't bought anything for me, didn't he deliberately bring me to the auction?" ”
Xu Zhexia instantly understood, stretched out his hand and patted Song Shijing's shoulder, and said to Qu Ningqin:
"That's right, I heard that there will be a lot of good-looking rough stones in this auction, and if you like something, you can boldly auction it, and someone will pay for it anyway."
Qu Ningqin nodded, in fact, she really liked a lot of them, but she had been waiting for a suitable opportunity, and then won it in one fell swoop.
No, the opportunity has come to your door.
Song Shijing looked at the two girls in front of him, and then looked at the initiator standing opposite him, knowing that he couldn't satisfy this woman without bleeding once today.
So he waved his hand and said very seriously:
"Sister-in-law happens to be picky, I will cover all your consumption today!"
Qu Ningqin and Xu Zhexia frowned simultaneously.
Jiang Yanzhi sneered: "You still have to keep it for Ququ, my wife wants to buy some jewelry or something, I still have money, and I don't need you to be courteous." ”
Song Shijing: "What is called dedication, I want to be attentive to my wife, you used to bully me for not having a wife, but now my wife is here." ”
As he spoke, he also deliberately kissed Qu Ningqin on the face.
Xu Zhexia couldn't hold back her laughter, looking at Qu Ningqin's disgusted expression, she didn't know what it was for a while.
When he looked back, he looked at Shangjiang Yanzhi's doting eyes, and then slowly spoke: "Okay, let's go." ”
Then he pulled the man out.
When the auction was almost at the beginning, Xu Zhexia and Jiang Yanzhi were able to sit down, they were sitting in the first row, and the organizer sent by the Jiang family was next to them.
And Qu Ningqin and Song Minguo are the last two people in the back row.
At first, they were all antique vases and the like, and Xu Zhexia was not very interested.
There are a total of ten items in this auction, which are basically the best of the best, and the transaction price is also amazingly high, especially the vase in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the transaction price is as high as 120 million.
She sat in front and listened to the rising prices, and couldn't help but smack her tongue.
"Such a vase, if it is accidentally broken at home, will it be distressed to death?"
Jiang Yanzhi listened to her whisper, smiled slightly, and said: "No, this kind of buyer generally chooses to hand over to the state and hand it over to the state for safekeeping, and he will receive a lot of money a month, why not?" ”
Xu Zhexia raised his eyebrows, a little surprised by this result.
"Do you have a favorite? I think it's pretty good. ”
He pointed to the last words, it was a picture of a rich peony, which was also a small age, and it was estimated that the price would not be low.
Xu Zhexia looked at the painting, and finally shook his head: "It is not very consistent with the modern decoration of the home, and I think that this kind of antique is better to put it in the warehouse to collect and eat ashes, and it is ...... if it is hung on the wall."
She thought about it and shook her head, indicating that she didn't appreciate it.
Jiang Yanzhi just smiled and didn't answer, and after a few seconds, the host on the stage suddenly announced that today's auction would have a new product, and said that this was a rare treasure.
You must know that the auctioneer invited by the Jiang family this time is one of the best in the whole Kyoto and even the whole country, and she can say that it is a rare treasure in the world, so this thing ......
Xu Zhexia hid the shock in his eyes, turned his head to look at Jiang Yanzhi, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know what it is?" ”
Jiang Yanzhi's head paused visibly, to be honest, he really didn't know very well.
"I don't know, it should have been added temporarily, no one told me."
His narrow eyes furrowed, and his instinct told him that things had changed.
Before the last auction item came out, Jiang Yanzhi had to see what it was.
He got up from his position.
Xu Zhexia looked at him, only to see the man's hand rubbing lightly on the top of Xu Zhexia's head, and then whispered: "Okay, you wait for me here, and I'll be back soon." ”
With that, he looked at the stands, and the only jewelry in the auction was currently introduced.
"If you like it, just hold up a sign and take a picture, money is not a problem, I'll pay it when the time comes."
Xu Zhexia looked at him and nodded.
It wasn't until Jiang Yanzhi's figure disappeared into the night that she slowly fell her gaze back on the stage.
knew that the last auction item was hammered and sold, and he didn't see Jiang Yanzhi come back.
The additional items to be sold at this auction are about to arrive, Xu Zhixia frowned, and the auctioneer, who was still passionately introducing on the stage, suddenly silenced and walked cautiously towards the edge of the stage.
Then, the lights in the entire venue dimmed, Xu Zhexia's heart jumped, and when he turned around again, he saw one of Jiang Yan's people standing on the platform, apologizing to the people below.
"Due to special reasons, the last lot cannot appear in front of everyone, for which the Jiang family will send the corresponding amount of compensation to the buyers, thank you!"
As soon as the words fell, the surrounding lights turned on, Xu Zhexia sat silently in his position, and when the people around him were almost gone, a woman in a long white dress walked over.
"Young lady."
The woman shouted at Xu Zhexia, her hands folded in front of her, and the whole person looked dignified and neat, revealing a graceful temperament.
"Please follow me."
She turned to the side and made a gesture of please.
Xu Zhexia took it and followed the woman to the back.
One of Jiang Yan's people stood at the door, as if waiting for her, and Xu Zhexia walked up to the man.
"The young lady is here."
After she finished speaking, she saw Jiang Yanzhi nodding before leaving.
"How's it going, did you buy something?" Jiang Yanzhi asked her with a smile.
"Nope."
Xu Zhexia told the truth.
She was thinking about what this person was doing just now, and she didn't even listen to the auctioneer's introduction to things, so how could she do it casually.
Jiang Yanzhi seemed to know what Xu Zhexia was thinking, and just chuckled lightly: "Okay, I know that you are worried, there is nothing wrong." ”
He said comfortingly in a rare soft voice.
But the more he had this attitude, the more Xu Zhexia felt that he was hiding something from himself.
She was a little unhappy, and a pair of beautiful eyes were staring at the man, bound to stare him out of a skeleton.
Jiang Yanzhi was stared at by her, sighed silently, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, you come with me." ”
I have always had no choice but to rely on her.
The two of them walked all the way inside, Jiang Yanzhi pushed open the innermost room, and the thing that was originally placed in the center disappeared.
Jiang Yanzhi hurriedly stepped forward to check, and there were only two people left in the entire room, and there was a note.
He picked up the paper on the table, and there were a few words written on it:
You're late.
Jiang Yanzhi closed his eyes, crumpled the things in his hand, and scolded in his mouth: "Boring." ”
He turned around and said to Xu Zhexia: "I lost something, I want someone to find it, and I don't know which boring person it is." ”
Jiang Yanzhi gritted his teeth a little when he said this, compared to his attitude just now, Xu Zhexia felt that things were not so simple.
But.....
She thought, since Jiang Yanzhi is unwilling to say it now, then forget it, after all, Kyoto is no better than Jiang Cheng, and it is no longer the place where he can cover the sky with one hand.
Sometimes, the more you know, the worse it gets.
Thinking about it, she sighed, and when she turned around, the dignified beauty appeared behind her again.
"The old lady is here."
