After time travel, the imperial concubine becomes a celebrity herself
Chapter 61 Longevity Picture Screen
The auction this time is in the auction hall of City A.It was obvious that there was a strict guard standing outside the door, and most of the people who came here came in groups.
The driver parked the car at the door, then opened the door, and An Mengyi and Su Lele got out of the car.
"Miss, please show the invitation letter." The security guard standing at the door stopped him.An Mengyi and Su Lele obediently handed over the invitation letter: "Here."
The security guard held it in his hand and carefully checked with the guests before letting him go: "The two of you are welcome."
An Mengyi and Su Lele received the invitation letter and entered the hall straight away.The auction in the hall hadn't started yet, so everyone was more casual.
An Mengyi and Su Lele walked to the specially prepared seats for the Dayao Group and sat down. Su Lele whispered, "Are our seats so far back?"
Su Lele looked around, most of them were men, and women generally only appeared as female companions, but occasionally there were a few exceptions.
"Hey An'an, look, isn't that Zhu Xiao? He's sitting there today!" Su Lele couldn't help talking to An Mengyi when she saw Zhu Xiao coming from behind.
"Don't worry about him." An Mengyi's voice didn't fluctuate, and she just glanced to the side to confirm Zhu Xiao's position.
Zhu Xiao caught eye with A Meng all of a sudden, and smiled at her. This smile was a little more than the usual polite smile, and An Mengyi didn't bother to study it.
After almost everyone in the hall came in, the auction officially started. First, the auctioneer gave a good introduction, and then introduced the rules.
"Please keep the scene quiet, otherwise I have the right to ask him to leave." After the auctioneer's voice fell, the auction officially started.
The items to be auctioned were presented one by one in order. After a brief introduction, the auctioneer said, "The starting price is 80. Please start."
The arena was relatively quiet, and there were not many people holding signs in the hall. Su Lele approached An Mengyi: "Is everyone waiting for that big thing?"
"They're not fools, of course they won't put what everyone expects here." An Mengyi said.
The opening was just a few appetizers, and An Mengyi didn't have much interest in it. It wasn't until the price got higher and higher that An Mengyi gradually thought of watching it seriously.
With a change of expression, the picture appeared, in front of him was the Qing Dynasty Kangxi blue and white dragon vase, and the patterns on it were clearly displayed in front of An Mengyi's eyes.
"This price seems a bit expensive." An Mengyi murmured.
"Is it expensive?" Su Lele frowned: "The dragon pattern bottle should be made by the official kiln."
"This auction price is already the highest price for the bottle itself, and now it appears as a guaranteed reserve price, which means he still wants to make more money, but I don't think there will be too many bids." An Mengyi had just finished speaking. , the following voices are still very few.
"Mr. No. 25, 110 million!" the auctioneer shouted, and while waiting quietly, the auctioneer asked: "Mr. No. 14, do you want to increase the price?"
Still no one answered, that means giving up. In the end, the bottle was auctioned to No. 110 for 25 million.
After that, there were a few auctions of gemstones and jade articles. As soon as An Mengyi saw that the jade was of good quality and could be regarded as a high-quality jade, she just raised a sign and bought a piece of jade.
Basically, wealthy families would have some of this kind of jade, so although this kind of jade was considered high-quality, there were still a little fewer people auctioning it than before, and it was easy for An Mengyi to get it.
As the items become more and more refined, the prices are also increasing, and more and more people are holding signs.
Su Lele had to sigh: "Do people here buy things on the basis that the more expensive the better?"
"The more expensive the item here, the higher its value." An Mengyi said to Su Lele.
"The next thing I'm going to auction is a big item." As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, Su Lele cheered up and asked An Mengyi, "Big item? Is it the so-called treasure?"
An Mengyi shook her head: "I can't tell."
The stage was idle for a while, and then the staff came to the stage and moved a screen up.
"This...is really big enough..." Su Lele said after seeing it.
After a screen was placed on the stage, the staff opened the screen, as if the screen occupied a long space.In terms of "big" items, it is indeed the largest among all auctioned items, but in terms of price, it is still open to debate.
"I wonder if this screen looks familiar to everyone?" said the auctioneer.
The auctioneer had just finished asking this question, and the whispers in the hall were obviously much higher than before. Although the disciplinary issues at the scene were emphasized before, it was not guaranteed to be as it is now.
Apparently they on stage had anticipated this situation, and calmly waited for their discussion to finish, their voices became smaller and smaller, and then they said during the auction: "I believe many people have recognized this screen. The screen is exhibited in the museum of our Forbidden City, and it is very famous. The reason for its fame is that the text on the screen is composed of 1 longevity characters written by the princes of the year, which is composed of ten thousand longevity pictures, a total of twelve. "
"However, many people should know that besides this screen, there is another screen similar to it, which was jointly written by various small countries." The auctioneer introduced.
"No wonder, I said it's a screen, it looks familiar..." Su Lele said in a low voice, about the Longevity Screen, it appeared in their textbooks.
An Mengyi looked at it carefully, and then answered her: "Well, apart from the fact that the shape of the screen is the same, it's really different everywhere."
Su Lele realized that it was An Mengyi who was laughing at her. She felt that all the screens looked exactly the same, she was a little dissatisfied, she pouted and said, "I can still see the difference, okay?"
"Oh? Can you tell what's different?" An Mengyi asked her in a low voice.
Su Lele hesitated for a while: "The characters on them are different. I can recognize the picture of longevity, but the one on it..."
"This screen came as a tribute from a small country, so the words on it are also in foreign languages, which are also very precious." The auctioneer continued: "But the foreign words on it also have the same meaning, that is, to congratulate the dynasty. The emperor also has 1 longevity characters. The reason why it is known as too few is because the emperor later rewarded this precious picture of longevity to a minister in the Kangxi period, and it disappeared after that.”
"A foreign language?" The people in the venue started whispering again.
"It should not be very valuable. If the emperor really likes it, why would he reward it to the ministers?" Everyone began to consider the value of this painting.
"I've heard about this screen. Its exquisiteness is naturally inferior to that offered by our princes. How can foreign people compare the skillful craftsmen of our Celestial Empire. But it is said that the workmanship of this screen is also relatively excellent, plus Gentile writing is really rare, if you are really interested, you can take a photo." Someone gave a lot of advice.
The auction on the stage gave everyone enough room to think about it. Seeing that there was enough time, An Mengyi began to observe intently again. Regarding the wood, An Mengyi couldn't see anything from it. All she knew was that the wood had not corroded seriously over the years. After so many years, some damage and wear are unavoidable, and it is already very well preserved.
The foreign language "Shou" on the screen is also shining, showing the different status symbols of the people who wrote them.An Mengyi looked down and saw the lifelike carvings and the dragon and phoenix totem on it.
After the screen is opened, it looks like a cultural relic on display. There are a total of twelve screens, and each screen is filled with characters of different sizes, with different characteristics.
"An'an, do you think it's necessary for us to buy this fan?" Su Lele also asked tangledly: "I think, as far as foreign literature is concerned, it has a high collection value."
Indeed, screens are indeed very common, including their carvings and wood. What was left by the Celestial Dynasty at that time was indeed better than that of foreign countries, so basically the only thing that can make people want to collect is the calligraphy and paintings on the screen.
"I'll take a look again." An Mengyi said to Su Lele, she concentrated again and continued to observe carefully.Look carefully from top to bottom, and finally in.Something different was found on the carved wood at the bottom of the screen.
"Huh?" An Mengyi snorted softly.
"What's wrong?" Su Lele asked when she heard the voice, her eyes were also on the screen.
An Mengyi followed the different part, enlarged the picture in her eyes, and found a small crack, which was stitched very tightly, judging from the degree of fit, no one should have opened it before.
So why is there a seam here?Is there something else hidden in the seam?
After An Mengyi had this idea, her heart jumped up, and she continued to follow the crack and burrowed in.
This seam extends out into a rectangle, with longer horizontal lines and shorter vertical lines.The reason why it can't fall is because there is a mechanism that can get stuck inside.An Mengyi saw what was inside, but because there was no light, she could only see a dark shadow.
"Scroll?" An Mengyi whispered in surprise.
"What?" She turned her head to look at An Mengyi without getting an answer for a long time: "An An, what did you just say? I didn't hear clearly."
"It's nothing." An Mengyi was a little excited, and the dark shadow actually couldn't see much, but what I can know is that since it can be hidden in this screen, it should be a rare treasure .Moreover, the screen is well preserved and the mechanism has not been damaged, which proves that no one has ever opened it, and no one has ever discovered what is hidden in this screen.
The driver parked the car at the door, then opened the door, and An Mengyi and Su Lele got out of the car.
"Miss, please show the invitation letter." The security guard standing at the door stopped him.An Mengyi and Su Lele obediently handed over the invitation letter: "Here."
The security guard held it in his hand and carefully checked with the guests before letting him go: "The two of you are welcome."
