Millennium drunk

The old pendulum clock hanging on the wall of the house rang dully, and at the same time there was a knock on the door: "Masters of the Rong family, the tea party has begun."

Lan Zui seemed to have received an amnesty, stuffed Jun Yihuang into the bag, and took the initiative to pull the door.There was another guy on the opposite side who was planning a room for Lan's family, Lan Zui smiled: "I'm here, let's lead the way together."

The place for the tea party is in a round glass room behind the small Western-style building.The glass house is a fully transparent structure, which looks a bit like a greenhouse, but it occupies a large area.There are four entrances opened on all sides of the house, and at this moment there are guys standing and serving.The inside is divided into three floors, which are in the shape of steps. On the first floor, there is an extra-large glazed table in the middle. At the moment, a piece of red silk satin is placed on the table. The satin is still empty, waiting for the owner to load the goods.There is a small glass ladder next to each entrance for people to go up to the second and third floors. The second and third floors are divided into separate compartments with frosted glass, which is the box for tea customers to see the goods.

The shape of this glass house is quite rare, and some pickers who have never been here before can't help but appreciate it.The most fearful thing about picking goods is misjudgment and wrong price estimation. There are many factors involved in misjudgment. In addition to inexperience and lack of vision, light is the most likely to be affected.The owner of Huaiyuan Pavilion built this glass house in order not to turn on the lights as much as possible so that the pickers can see the goods and make bids under natural light, which also won a good reputation.

This is the first time for the Rong family, but not for Lan Zui.The staff led them to the second floor from the east gate, and Uncle Lan Zuizhong parted ways with the three Rong family members, and the three Rong family brothers were taken into the next compartment.

At this moment, all the pickers were ushered into the arena, and the whole glass house looked at people through the frosted glass, but it was eerily quiet.The rain had stopped, and the sky began to shine brightly. The roof was designed to gather light, illuminating the entire glass house brightly.Lan Zui sat on the edge of the railing and looked down, seeing clearly the fringe of the satin on the first floor.

Since it is a tea party, it is natural to serve tea.When the tea was served, the buddy also sent a beautifully printed roster, on which was the detailed list of this batch of goods.When everything was ready, a 30-year-old man with a round face, curved brows, and a smiling smile in a navy blue coat walked to the glazed table on the first floor. He didn't take a microphone, but when he spoke, his pubic area could be heard clearly. Practicing family.

"My lords and ladies, thank you all for selling Huaiyuan Pavilion's thin noodles. You have come all the way from all over the world. Now that you all have the roster of this batch of goods in your hands, you might as well take a look at what you like first. It’s good to go out on your own.”

Lan Zui knew that the beginning of the conversation was all about scenes, so he didn't pay attention to listening.She has been scanning the catalog on the first page since she got the brochure.This time, there were [-] pieces of goods in total, ranging from large to small. Most of them were calligraphy, painting, inscriptions, jade and porcelain. In addition, there was a private engraving, a bronze goblet, and a stone inkstone, all of which were relatively easy to sell.Lanzui turned back, that is, photos from various angles and details of each object.

Lan Zui and Uncle Zhong made an estimate in their minds while watching, and after turning seven or eight pages, a suet jade comb appeared on the page.The whole body of the jade comb is fat and white, slightly light blue, the surface of the comb is empty and cloudy, and two hibiscus flowers are carved on the edges. It is very well preserved and is very valuable.Lan Zui paused when he flipped through the booklet, seeing the jade comb looked familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where it looked familiar.

"Xiao Zui, look at the back first." Uncle Zhong urged from the side, if you don't read the detailed picture first and have a picture in mind, you will suffer a lot when you bid.

Lan Zui turned over as she said, feeling a little dazed.However, the next picking is related to the future livelihood of the Lan family's shop, and Lan Zui puts the jade comb behind him after calming down.

The host stood still for 10 minutes waiting for the pickers to look through the brochures roughly, and the first floor was not idle. A golden gong and a large 100-inch LCD screen were moved up. 10 minutes later, with the bang of the golden gong, the LCD screens standing next to the railings in each compartment flashed on.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the picking is about to begin. There are many old customers and new visitors here, so we still have to talk about the rules. There is an LCD screen in front of you, and you can see the items from all angles. There is a small golden gong next to the screen. If there is something you like, you can press the screen with your finger to bid. If you are not used to it, you can also use the traditional golden gong. Feel free to bid, our ears are below. Listen. One click is a one-time price increase, and two consecutive bids are packages. Each item can only be packaged after 5 minutes of shooting. The price of the package is five times the highest price of this item. If there is one item, two companies can’t give up. , there are three more chances after the parcel is packaged, and each bid is double the last price, so gentlemen and ladies, you have to be cautious when you start. In addition, we have to say the ugly words first, Huaiyuan Pavilion occupies an important position in the inventory industry He has a place on the ground and has a bit of face. If you don’t want to make an offer or want to ruin the market, please think twice before acting.”

When the host said the last sentence, his eyes were slightly cold. After watching the whole audience, some people who originally wanted to be opportunistic became less concerned.

The host was silent for a few seconds and smiled again: "Then everyone, this is the beginning."

The first item on the list was the bronze goblet. Bronze wares are rare, so they are high-end goods. There are many buyers and the price is affordable. Even small utensils are worth tens of thousands of dollars.At the beginning of the scene, the golden gongs were banging, not to mention the young man tapped the screen.The LCD screen on the first floor changes rapidly with the host's report and the bids on the computers in each compartment.But this is only the first three or four minutes. As the number of digits increases, the number of bidders decreases. When the host counts to three and the sound of the golden gong below, the first price is considered a deal.

But in just ten minutes, everyone present was sweating.After the first piece was shot, Lan Zui's face became even more ugly.It has been empty for more than two years, everyone is out of stock, and the bids are all ruthless.Especially knocking the golden gong to bid, now that there is a computer, it is actually unnecessary to use this troublesome method, but when the golden gong is ringing in the crowd, it is easy to bring people's emotions up, and the price will be pushed up round after round. , In this way, the profit margins of reselling the things obtained are very thin.However, even if Lan Zui was in a bad mood, the owner should continue to stock up and continue to bid. She could only continue to stare at the red silk on the lower floor to judge whether she should buy it.

After shooting the fifth piece, there was an intermission, and Lan Zui leaned on the chair dizzy.Picking is a lot of work and requires a lot of concentration.Lan Zui felt panicked in the glass room, so he greeted Uncle Zhong and went downstairs to walk in the garden first.

Many people took advantage of the intermission to stroll and relax. The garden was full of people, and some familiar people stood together and chatted.At this moment, Lan Zui felt depressed and wanted to find peace, so he went to the edge of the garden under a big osmanthus tree.This side is far away from the glass house, and there are relatively fewer people. Lan Zui sat on the stone bench, smelling the fragrance of the plants, and the restlessness gradually disappeared, and the expression on his face became much smoother.

"Miss, what's your surname? Why are you sitting alone under a tree in a daze?"

Suddenly someone's voice sounded, Lan Zui looked around and found no one, and then he was sure that someone was talking to her.

The person who came was a young man in his 28s, with a short mustache on his upper lip. He was tall but dry and thin, like a bamboo pole. He was dressed in a black suit, but he was too thin to hold up, and he looked a little bit empty wretched.

Lan Zui frowned in disgust, thinking it was a boring person who saw her coming alone to strike up a conversation, turned his head and didn't answer.

But the young man persevered, took a few steps closer, and said with a smile, "My surname is Zhu, and I am from the top to the bottom."

Zhu Zhiguang?Lan Zui pondered for a while, he had never heard of such a character on the road, and it was uncomfortable for the young man to speak incoherently, so Lan Zui stood up and wanted to leave.

"Miss is also a fan of antiques here, right? I have a few small items here. I wonder if miss is interested?"

Seeing that Lan Zui was about to leave, Zhu Zhiguang felt a little anxious, so he put aside the politeness and went straight to the point.Lan Zui hesitated slightly, then sat back and looked at Zhu Zhiguang squarely.

"what?"

"Miss, don't know how to address her?"

"My name is Jin."

Lan Zui didn't want to reveal his name to strangers, so he made up one at random.Then Zhu Zhiguang saw that Lan Zui paid attention to him, a smile appeared on his face, and he said in a low voice: "Miss Jin, these are the little things that delicate girls like, and the color is good. The prices of those photographed in the venue are much cheaper. The ones inside, hey, are just throwing money because they think it’s too much money, it’s not true!"

"Where did you come from?"

"Hey, where else can it come from? Ming people don't say dark words, of course it was found out from the bottom! The customer who stocked the goods thought it was too small, so I just went to find the buyer myself. Miss Jin and I hit it off right away and felt that we hit it off very well. I don't know if Miss Jin has that meaning?"

Lan Zui looked Zhu Zhiguang up and down, and asked suspiciously, "What are they?"

"At the end of the Tang Dynasty, small gadgets such as wearing cicadas, jade pipes and pendants. A beautiful girl like Miss Jin is the best match for these exquisite things. If you get tired of playing with them, these small gadgets are easy to change hands. It's not a loss... ..."

Zhu Zhiguang was still going on talking, but Lan Zui's delicate body was shocked, and she finally knew why the mutton fat jade comb looked familiar to her.

Zhu Zhiguang mentioned Er Dang in his words, and Lan Zui remembered that when she took Gu Pan's one soul ancient jade from Jun Yihuang's dowry box more than two years ago, she put on a purple jade hibiscus earring.Because only one of them didn't make a pair, and the thing was small and worthless, Lan Zui put the earrings in the dressing cabinet, and then he forgot all about it when he was busy with various things.

Although the purple jade hibiscus earring is small, its shape is very delicate, and a circle of small hibiscus flowers is engraved around the purple jade.Just now she saw in the picture that hibiscus flowers were also engraved on the side of the suet jade comb. The craftsmanship of the two objects is actually very similar, and they are obviously works of the same period.
