Chapter 26 Long Wei
Chapter 26. Long Wei
The branches grow infinite moons, and the flowers are full of natural autumn.

The poem is from Li Qiao's "Gui" in Tang Dynasty.

It describes the beautiful scenery of osmanthus, autumn colors and moonlit night.

This poem is quite remote, few people know about it, and of course it will not become a decoration chosen by counterfeiters for fake porcelain.

Ren Ping couldn't help his heart beating faster, and stepped forward a few steps, just as he was about to fetch it.

suddenly--

A slender white palm took the first step and took out the porcelain cup from the porcelain stack.

"The branches grow infinite moons, and the flowers are full of natural autumn..."

"Who exactly are you referring to..."

While fiddling with it, the man whispered softly, his tone seemed to be filled with some confusion.

At this time, Ren Ping had already seen the whole picture of the porcelain cup:

Blue and white flowers on a white background, osmanthus tree shadows, and Tang poems in regular script.

In addition, there are four small characters in the corner that read "the country's disasters and mountains and rivers have lost its color"...

The system will also quickly give a prompt:
["National Tribulations and Mountains and Rivers Discolored" Twelve Flower God Cups - August Osmanthus Cup]

[Type: blue and white porcelain cup single product]

[Year: Qing Guangxu]

[Civilization point: 5 points]

[Note: 1 civilization point is worth about 200 million yuan in currency of this era]

It is genuine!
Ren Ping called himself very lucky, he found Nanling so quickly!

But what surprised him even more was that besides himself, there was actually someone who could recognize this August osmanthus cup.

Moreover, this person seems to have seen...

"You are...Miss Long?"

Ren Ping was not very familiar with the beauty in front of him, but when he thought about it, he still remembered it.

She was the auctioneer who appeared before her at the Youshenghang auction a few days ago, named Long Wei.

This name was later mentioned by Wu Yousheng inadvertently.

The other party was playing with it, and was dazed in a daze.

He didn't react until he heard this, and when he took a closer look, he couldn't help but feel slightly surprised:

"You are... Ren Ping? The auctioneer?"

"Aren't you also an auctioneer?"

Ren Ping couldn't help laughing.

Although the auctioneer is not a professional appraiser, since he is in this industry and has seen a lot, his eyesight is extraordinary.

Some well-established auctioneers have sharp eyesight, which is no less than that of experts and scholars. No wonder they noticed this flower god cup.

"Hi, I'm not a professional auctioneer. I was just a temporary guest last time."

With a slight smile, Long Wei put down the August osmanthus flower cup in her hand, and didn't seem to care too much.

Ren Ping was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help smiling:
"Coincidentally, I'm just a temporary guest."

"I know."

"you know?"

"Well, Mr. Wu told me that there is an agreement between you, and you can get [-]% of the price for everything you auction at a high price,"

"This ratio, he is bleeding heavily,"

"But, in the final analysis, you still have a sharp eye. Otherwise, how can ordinary people find those good things from a pile of collections that have been in stock for many years? And the "Tanzhou Chronicle" of the Jinshi He family?"

While speaking, Long Wei laughed amusedly.

This smile was both ridiculing and exclamation, and there was also a subtle hint of appreciation.

Ren Ping was secretly surprised:
Wu Yousheng said before that this Long Wei has a lot of background.

Now he even told her what they agreed to do.

With Wu Yousheng's scheming, doesn't it mean that...even he can't hide the other party's identity?

Can't help but look again carefully.

Long Wei in front of her was tall and slender, wearing a waist tight bodysuit, and after putting on high heels, she was already at the same level as Ren Ping.

The facial features are exquisite and generous.

Her complexion is slightly fair, but she doesn't look delicate, but exudes a sassy and heroic spirit, like a female general who has just changed into a military uniform.

Most importantly, her temperament:
Intellectual and capable, there is also a restrained fierceness!

People are intimidated unconsciously.

Ren Ping had only seen this kind of powerful aura unique to women once before:
It’s Tian Minru!
The slight difference is that Long Wei feels less aloof and more elegant and friendly...

After chatting casually, Ren Ping gradually brought the topic to the August osmanthus cup.

An important piece of information is that although Long Wei recognized this August osmanthus cup, she seemed to have seen it a lot and thought it was a fake.

I didn't even notice those special eight little characters.

"You also like the Flower God Cup? Do you know the legend of the Twelve Flower Gods?"

After chatting for a while, she suddenly pondered.

From the looks of it, it seemed that this was what troubled him before.

Ren Ping was startled:
Concubine Mi, Concubine Yang, Mrs. Xi, Lijuan, Wei Zifu, Xi Shi, Su Xiaoxiao, Concubine Xu Xian, Concubine Zuo, Mrs. Huarui, Wang Zhaojun, Princess Shouyang.

These are the Twelve Flower Gods, twelve well-known women in Chinese history.

With December flowers:

Narcissus in January, winter jasmine in February, peach blossom in March, peony in April, pomegranate in May, lotus in June, orchid in July, osmanthus in August, chrysanthemum in September, hibiscus in October, rose in November, plum blossom in December.

One-to-one correspondence.

For example, April Peony Cup, also known as April Lijuan Cup.

Li Juan was a famous court lady who was lucky to be visited by Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty.

August Osmanthus Cup, also known as August Xu Xianfei Cup.

Concubine Xu Xian is the famous concubine of Tang Taizong Li Shimin.

These twelve female characters can be said to be famous.

But among those who know the Twelve Flower God Cups, none of them are as good as Shu Jiazhen.

Why does Long Wei...

"Miss Long is testing me? The flower god corresponding to this August osmanthus cup is naturally Concubine Xu Xian?"

"No, apart from Concubine Xu Xian, there is also a hidden flower god corresponding to the osmanthus cup,"

Long Wei shook her head:
"In addition to this, there are also eleven other Huashen cups, don't you know?"

"Really? Then I'm really ignorant."

Ren Ping's eyelids twitched, as if he was touched by something, but then he laughed and passed away.

Long Wei's originally bright eyes suddenly darkened:
"No wonder...it's just an illusory legend..."

After a burst of inaudible murmurs, Long Wei quickly returned to normal, as if the conversation just now was really just a casual chat.

At this time, the owner of the shop also came over with a philistine look on his face.

Pointing to the signboard of "Famous Glaze Museum" on his head, he blew it wildly, guaranteeing that the goods are genuine and every piece is genuine.

Although Ren Ping has never been to an antique market, the thousands of life experiences in his mind are enough for him to cope with such a scene.

After a pretentious bargaining session, the shopkeeper "reluctantly gave up" and Ren Ping "left and came back."

Final transaction price:

1 yuan!

For something in the antique market, especially a small porcelain cup, this price is already very good.

The owner's eyes, eyebrows, and nose were so happy that they disappeared collectively, and he happily helped pack the package, thinking that he had been taken advantage of.

What he didn't know was that at this moment, Ren Ping looked normal on the surface, but his heart was already trembling with excitement.

[-] deal!
According to Xin Ran's previous agreement, the transfer price: 1000 million!

Profit a thousand times!
This time, he finally understood why many people couldn't help but come to Taobao even though they knew that the antique market was full of fakes.

It's a pity to lose sight and miss, but once you're right, it's like buying a lottery ticket!
Human nature is gamblers.

This is absolutely true!
"Sorry, please wait a moment."

Halfway through the packaging, the shop owner suddenly apologized and hurried back to the shop.

Ren Ping didn't pay much attention.

On the other hand, Long Wei smiled and listened:
"Careful, you're in trouble."

"what?"

Ren Ping was taken aback, not understanding what she meant.

Glancing at it, I saw that the shopkeeper had just walked into the shop and was talking in a low voice with a man in a suit with his back on his back, with surprise on his face.

Ren Ping frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.

Seeing that Long Wei looked enigmatic, he didn't ask any more questions.

After a while, the shopkeeper finished talking and went back and forth.

But it has changed face:
"Good thief! You stole something into my shop! Let's see where you go today!"

"what?"

Ren Ping's expression changed.

Before he could ask any more questions, the shopkeeper had already pinched his arm with one hand, and shouted loudly:
"Come on! Catch the thief! Catch the thief!"

"Quickly call the police!"
