Da'an's best son-in-law

Lian'er was pulling Ye Chen and struggling to get away from the crowd. She felt the person behind her froze in place. Lian'er turned her head. Ye Chen was still staring at the wooden box in the old man's hand in trance.

"What's wrong, uncle, come here quickly, we finally have to go out."

"Nothing." Ye Chen withdrew his gaze, shook his head slightly, then took Lian'er's hand, and the two of them got rid of the crowd and rushed straight towards the auction.

Longquan wood.

Wood growing on Mount Xumi in the hilly areas south of the Yangtze River.

Mount Xumi is located on the current boundary of Anhui. Because the mountains are winding and winding, they take on the shape of a dragon. On the top of the mountain, there is a spring that has never dried up.

The Longquan tree grows on the cliff next to the spring.

Unlike red sandalwood and huanghuali, which are familiar precious woods, the growth conditions of Longquan wood are not only harsh, but also have to be adapted to the conditions.

It may take a hundred years for a batch of mature Longquan wood to grow on Mount Xumi. Perhaps within a year, this kind of wood can grow three times.

However, there are still more times than once in a hundred years when one becomes successful.

Ye Chen once read about this kind of wood in the old man's library. At that time, he was deeply impressed by the nature of this kind of wood that was different from ordinary wood.

If what he had just observed was correct, the wooden box the old man was holding was made of Longquan wood.

Is this extremely precious wood just a luxury item in the hands of the old man?

The appearance of objects that are qualified to be hidden in such a box on the body of an old man with such a poor appearance undoubtedly creates a huge contrast.

Wanxiang Pavilion, auction conference.

There are actually many buildings with relatively large construction areas in Jizhou City, such as the Wei family's Liyue Village, the Chen family's Cangwu Village, and many wineries.

But it can be said that it is extremely dangerous. Among the continuous buildings in Jizhou, the only one that stands out like a sharp sword is Wanxiang Pavilion.

On the plaque in the center of the Wanxiang Tower, the four golden characters "all-inclusive" are particularly dazzling.

At this time, Wanxiang Pavilion was extremely lively. Many auctioneers who had just gathered on the streets of Jizhou had already arrived at the square outside Wanxiang Pavilion.

The crowds filled the square outside Wanxiang Pavilion. Everyone crowded towards the front, trying to grab a better seat.

In front of the square are the seats specially set up by Wanxiang Pavilion for the four major families and the local forces in Jizhou. Next to the seats are several inspection tables with inspection items.

In the center of the seats, there is a small open space. The tables and chairs on the open space are exactly where the auctioneers of Wanxiang Pavilion sell the treasures of all parties.

Seeing the treasure sellers squeezing around, the situation gradually became out of control. A middle-aged man walked out of the pavilion, in front of the square, slightly lowered his hand, and said loudly: "Everyone, please don't crowd. , I, Wanxiang Pavilion, will collect your items one by one, please go to the front desk to register first!"

According to the rules of Wanxiang Pavilion, all antiques in hand must be inspected by treasure appraisers in front of the stage. Only if they meet the qualifications to participate in the auction can they be put on the shelves.

If it is found to be a fake, I will be sorry and go home.

Of course, in these auctions, there were many fakes in the hands of private experts that could be mistaken for real ones, causing many treasure appraisers to stumble. In the end, it was Su Yu who personally came forward to preserve the reputation of Wanxiang Pavilion.

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, a man from Wanxiang Pavilion came out of the pavilion and began to guide the crowd in the square. Several treasure appraisers also arrived at the location of the treasure appraisal and began to identify the treasures in everyone's hands.

The originally chaotic crowd gradually began to become more orderly.

As the treasure appraisal process was proceeding in an orderly manner, numerous arguments were heard in the square.

"What are you looking at? This ancient jade bottle of mine was passed down from my great-grandfather's generation. It is an object from the Tang Dynasty. Do you think it is fake?!"

"This is an authentic work of Du Fu. Du Fu, you don't know? He is the painter from the Tang Dynasty who specializes in painting horses! Look at my horse paintings, they are so lifelike!"

When it comes to treasure appraisal, there are bound to be fakes. Although there are thousands of people participating in the conference, most of them come with the mentality of joining in the fun, so they can take out all kinds of objects.

There was even an old man who took out a chamber pot made of imitation jade and said it was used by Emperor Zong of the late Tang Dynasty. However, when the treasure appraiser took it over and took a look, a fishy smell rushed up to the sky lid. It was obvious that he had just used the toilet a few days ago.

While the auction meeting in the square was in full swing, Ye Chen and Lian'er finally broke away from the crowd and arrived at the Wanxiang Pavilion.

"Over there, over there"

Noticing the seats set up for the four major families in the Wanxiang Pavilion in front of the square, Lian'er hurriedly pulled Ye Chen towards the seats of the Wei family.

"Sorry, this is the seat of the Wei family. If you are here to attend the meeting, you can go through the passage over there."

The two passed through the crowd who were appreciating treasures, and when they arrived at the seat of the Wei family, the man waiting here at Wanxiang Pavilion stretched out his arm to block their way, and said calmly.

In the past, it was Wei Yanran who brought Lian'er to such auctions. With the former's popularity in Jizhou City, there were almost no men who didn't know Wei Yanran, so every time he came to attend the auction, it was always a smooth process.

"We are from the Wei family," Lian'er pointed at her face, winked at Ye Chen beside her, and said seriously.

After hearing this, the waiter raised his head and looked at the two people standing in front of him for a while, then said helplessly: "I'm sorry, I know all the young masters of the Wei family. This master is..."

Except for Wei Yanran, the children of the Wei family come to the auction in groups every year, and there are many people who join in the fun. He knows all the young masters who come to the auction every year.

This was Ye Chen's first time to participate, and he was indeed a new face here.

"This is the uncle of our Wei family, Ye Chen." Seeing that the young man did not recognize their identities, Lian'er explained anxiously.

"Uncle?"

"Oh, I remember, you are the son-in-law of the Wei family, ah, no, the new uncle of the Wei family."

After Lian'er's reminder, the guy suddenly realized.

If he is a younger brother of the Wei family, he may not be familiar to people in Jizhou, but Ye Chen's identity and reputation can be said to be on par with Wei Yanran in Jizhou. On the day of the wedding, many people saw this Wei Yanran. The face of the family’s son-in-law also included this boy.

The first man to marry into the family of the four families, no one knows him.

Seeing Lian'er nodding, the servant no longer stopped the two of them, stretched out his hand toward the seat behind him and said: "The Wei family's seat is over here, please."
