Chapter 45: Fierce Competition
The first half ended quickly, and then came the antique auction of calligraphy, painting and porcelain, the highlight of the auction. Xi Yue straightened up, and the tense moment was getting closer and closer. And Lin Tang also concentrated his attention, and his real special session came. The husband and wife have one heart, and Liu Yun is also focused. She is also from a scholarly family, and she also likes calligraphy and painting, and later married Lin Tang, who likes these things more and more.
The three members of the Lin family were all concentrated, and Gu Liang couldn't be lazy, he felt that the opportunity to please his brother-in-law and Xiyue had come. Although he has no money now, he is not willing to do so. And even if you don't have money, what can you do, this is not a reason at a critical moment.
However, Gu Liang's gearing up is destined to be useless, Xi Yue is not interested in these antiques, and he does not need financial support. Lin Tang is the same, he doesn't need Gu Liang's currying.
"Next, we want to invite the first lot of today's second lot, which is a piece of porcelain from the Forbidden City. This kind of porcelain is exquisite, everyone must have heard of it, this is an exclusive tribute to the royal family, in the Qing government, the people can not even see the shadow, enough to see the preciousness of this kind of porcelain. The host gushed about the enamel vase on the stage.
However, the fact is indeed as the host said, this kind of porcelain is indeed gorgeous and exquisite compared to the past. Coupled with the exclusive use of the royal family, there is no gimmick of the people, and the competition is very fierce. However, Lin Tang didn't seem to be interested, in his opinion, it was just ordinary enamel.
The auction brought out five pieces of enamel in a row, each more beautiful than the other, which was really eye-opening. The same is true for Xiyue, in her previous life, she had only heard of enamel and seen pictures, but she had never seen the real thing. This time I saw it, it was indeed extraordinary.
Next, it was porcelain, but the blockbuster came, and the porcelain of the five famous kilns in history began to appear. Nowadays, porcelain is not as expensive as in later generations, but it is only a little better than enamel. Lin Tang also made a move and slapped a small bowl of Ru kiln. Ru kiln porcelain, that in later generations is priceless, is there a saying, even if there is a lot of wealth, not as good as a piece of Ru porcelain, Xiyue is a little want to start.
After the porcelain is calligraphy and painting, it is indeed a big scene, there are Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy, Li Bai's autographed poetry collection, Wu Daozi's paintings, and even Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. This random piece can be taken to the future generations is a priceless and rare treasure, and it is incredible that it appeared here at the same time.
Lin Tang's eyes were red when he saw this, and he bid for each one. Although the Lin family's business is not very big on the surface, the wealth accumulated over several generations is still considerable. Lin Tang was also very powerful in breaking out of the encirclement and photographed the works of Wang Xizhi and Wu Daozi. This surprised Gu Liang, it seemed that he still underestimated the Lin family.
Liu Yun likes Wu Daozi's painting very much, not only Wu Daozi's work. What's more, this painting is a picture of Guanyin. Her house has not been peaceful lately, and this kind of thing is the best.
Gu Liang has been waiting for his chance to make a move, but unfortunately, Xi Yue has not spoken. And if Lin Tang really likes it, it must be nine out of ten, or it is a lack of interest, just a symbolic price, it doesn't matter if it is auctioned or not. Gu Liang had never felt so powerless, helpless, and helpless as he did today. It is said that the hero is sad about the beauty, he didn't believe it before, but he didn't expect the retribution to come so quickly and so unprepared.
"Xiyue, aren't you interested in these paintings and calligraphy?" Gu Liang asked.
Xi Yue said: "I'm not interested. “
"Oh. So what do you like? “
"Nothing to like."
"Oh."
As he spoke, a climax came. One of the most exciting items of this auction is finally coming out.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure you knew this before you came. I won't introduce much, this Yang Guifei royal beauty prescription has a reserve price of 5,000, and the price increase is not less than 100 each time, and the bidding starts now. “
This thing is one of the big hits today, and every lady and lady present wants to take it into their pockets, it is something that Yang Guifei uses, something that can make people disappear, how can you miss it.
"Fifty thousand." A noblewoman was the first to shout.
"Fifty thousand, you can also shout. One hundred and fifty thousand. Another lady shouted out.
"You slut dare to fight with me. Two hundred thousand. ”
"What don't you dare, 300,000, I just have a lot of money, how about it."
It's absolutely terrible for women to go crazy, especially two rich women, or two rich women who are sworn enemies. Of course, this prescription is not only for women to be interested, but also for men. Compared to women, men's purposes are much more complicated, they want to please women, and they also want to make money from this method. Seeing the madness of the two women on the scene, they were even more sure of the value of this recipe. Even if it can't be used in the market, it is the master key to open the circle of these noble ladies.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand." A middle-aged man held up a sign.
"Four hundred thousand." The first lady to shout shouted. Hmph, fighting for money with her is simply looking for death.
"Four hundred and fifty thousand." Doesn't she have any money? Just kidding, dead woman, see who compares whom.
"It's crazy." Liu Yun actually really wants to buy this recipe, who doesn't want to be young and beautiful forever.
Lin Tang also wanted to buy this prescription for Liu Yun and Xiyue, but the price was really outrageous, and there were two crazy women here, so the price might not soar to what point.
Gu Liang looked at Xi Yue and saw that her expression was as usual, and he didn't know whether he wanted it or not.
Xi Yue naturally didn't need this thing, she just sighed that no matter when, a woman's money is always the best to make.
Next, it's a special session for these two noble ladies, you fight for me, it's not exciting. In the end, the first noble lady to bid bought the prescription at a sky-high price of 880,000 yuan.
The people at the bottom smacked their tongues, they were too losers. But Xiyue thinks it's nothing, and it's hard to buy a good heart.
The auction is gradually coming to an end, and the finale is finally coming to the market, and Xi Yue's heart is also pounding, it must be that thing.
"Here's the last thing of the auction and the finale of the auction. I believe you have heard that this thing is indeed as rumored, ancient and complete, and invulnerable. I won't say much nonsense, but let's take on the last lot of the day. “
After the host finished speaking, the hostess came up with a silver platter, covered with a red cloth, and everyone couldn't see what it was. I just could see that it wasn't big, about the size of a kettle.
"I'm sure everyone is looking forward to this thing, so let me uncover the mystery now." After the host finished speaking, he uncovered the red cloth with a slightly exaggerated movement, and then threw it back.
Everyone looked at it, it was a small bronze stove, which looked like the alchemy furnace used by ancient alchemists, and they could faintly smell a medicinal fragrance.
Everyone didn't know what it was, and they looked at the things on the stage curiously. Lin Tang and the three of them also watched intently, wanting to see something. But Xi Yue's heart suddenly fell to the bottom, not that thing. Xi Yue laughed at herself, how could that thing be so easy to get, maybe it really didn't have anything to do with herself. At this moment, Xi Yue has no intention of auctioning. But Lin Tang and they are still there, and Xiyue can't leave directly, it's going to be over anyway, and I don't care about how many minutes it takes.
"This looks like a Dan furnace." Liu Yun said.
Lin Tang said: "Well, looking at the color of the pulp, the year should not be short." It looks so new, and with rumors, it's mysteriously tight. “
Gu Liang didn't know much about this, and he couldn't interject, so he could only pretend to look at the things on this stage with an unfathomable look.
"Everyone has seen it, that's right, this is an alchemy furnace, the year is unknown, but it can be judged to be before the Tang Dynasty. The material of the Dan furnace itself is unknown, it should be an alloy, very hard, water and fire are not invasive, and the body is filled with medicinal fragrance, which must be used by a master in ancient times. “
Xi Yue used her divine sense to check the things on it, and it was indeed a Dan furnace. It's not an ordinary object, it should be the alchemy furnace of ancient cultivators. The materials are good, and the things are not bad, but after too much time, coupled with the dissipation of the aura of heaven and earth, the alchemy furnace that was originally a magic weapon has also lost its spirituality and has become an ordinary alchemy furnace with good materials.
Xi Yue said: "It should be the alchemy furnace used by cultivators in ancient times, and the materials are relatively special, so it has become what it is now. The invincibility of water and fire is also because of the material, after all, the alchemy furnace must withstand water and fire. “
Lin Tang didn't doubt Xi Yue's words at all: "I see, no wonder. It seems that the owner of this thing is not an ordinary person, Xiyue, you see how I take it. “
Xi Yue said: "It is worth collecting, this Dan furnace should have practiced many elixirs before, and now it still has the fragrance of medicine on its body, and in the future, put some medicinal materials in the furnace and put it in the room, which is good for people's health." “
Liu Yun said with some surprise: "Really, master, then I want to shoot it, just for you to use it." "Since the last time she was hit by evil qi into her body, Liu Yun has been replenishing Lin Tang's body. Now that I heard Xiyue say that this is good for your health, naturally you won't miss it.
"What's the matter, Mr. Lin is sick?" Gu Liang grasped the point of his words.
Lin Tang said: "No, it's just that the insiders are more concerned about health preservation, and when they hear a good one, they want to try it." “
Liu Yun said: "Yes, the body is the most important thing, and you have to take good care of it from a young age. Xiao Gu, although you are young, you must also pay attention to your body. “
Gu Liang said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Xie cares, I remember." “
Xiyue is actually very speechless, what a mess, and Lin Tang is a Mr. Lin, and Liu Yun is indeed a sister-in-law and a sister-in-law. Who can tell her what is going on.
"Since Madame wants it, then I'll try my best."
As he spoke, the following bidding had already begun. Although this thing is miraculous, when everyone sees it, they are disappointed. What water and fire do not invade, is a Dan furnace still afraid of fire? Everyone here felt cheated. However, there are also people who know the goods, and they ask for the price at the beginning.
Perhaps in the hearts of the crowd, the number of people asking for the price has gradually increased. However, the price does not rise quickly, and most people are in a playful mentality. Compared to the previous prescription, this finale lot is dull. The auction house was also unexpected, why everyone was not very interested in this lot.
"Two hundred thousand." Lin Tang bargained.
This price does not seem high today, but it is a bit high for the price of this thing in the hearts of everyone, and many people stopped bidding. In the end, Lin Tang won this Dan furnace at a price of 270,000. In Xi Yue's opinion, Lin Tang made money. If it weren't for her gloomy mood, which affected everyone, Lin Tang's price would not have been able to be taken at all.
