Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

There was no word all the way, after Xia Yu handed in the invitation, he followed his instructions to the auction venue.

Somewhat unexpectedly, Xia Yu's number plate and He Youguang's brother and sister were right next to each other, and He Chaoqiong was sitting next to Xia Yu, and her brother He Youguang was farther away from Xia Yu.

In this way, Xia Yu was a little uncomfortable, especially after seeing He Chaoqiong's still flushed cheeks accidentally, and seeing the curiosity in her beautiful eyes and an inexplicable look, Xia Yu was even more uncomfortable. .

No way, Xia Yu can only quickly pick up tonight's auction catalogue and flip through it.

"Hey, there are still a lot of good things. It seems that they are doing charity sincerely. I heard from the previous life that the rich of Xiangjiang are keen to do charity. From here, we can see a little sign!"

Seeing the exquisite lots in the introduction album, there are many valuable antique paintings and calligraphy, Xia Yu secretly admired.

At this time, Xia Yu flipped through a page, and a picture of the lot on it made him stop and take a closer look.

This pattern is painted with lotus and mandarin ducks. In the picture is a corner of a lotus pond with reeds growing. On the crystal clear water, a pair of mandarin ducks swim with each other. On top of them, the lotus leaves are green like umbrellas, and several red lotuses are blooming. Fang Fei. The flower and bird painting method is neat and meticulous, and the virtual and the reality are in harmony. The veins of the lotus leaf, the red silk of the lotus and the fine thorns on the stalk are all depicted vividly, while the water waves, water plants, and reeds are only painted with light ink. The combination of virtual and actual brushwork makes the picture present an ethereal and moist feeling.

The title of the lot is "Lotus and Mandarin Duck".

Then, Xia Yu looked at the introduction carefully.

"Lotus and Mandarin Duck" is an ink and color painting on silk created by painter Chen Hongshou in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. It is 183 cm in length and 98.3 cm in width.

In the upper left corner of the picture, there is the painter's signature: "The old lotus of Xishan Hongshou was written in Qingyitang", and the seals of "Chen Hongshou" and "Zhanghou" are under the seal.

Lot Donor: Mei Shancheng.

Xia Yu really has an impression of this painting. In his previous life, when he was wandering in the imperial capital, he had been to the Forbidden City Museum when he had time, and he happened to see this "Lotus and Mandarin Duck" in it.

This painting is enough to be listed in the top ten among lotus paintings, and it is worth at least tens of millions of yuan in later generations. It was donated to the Palace Museum by a collector.

"I just didn't expect to appear at Sotheby's auction house now. It seems that it has not yet been in the hands of the collector."

"Since I met, then I'm not welcome. If the price is right, then take a picture. Collect it for later generations. It will definitely make a lot of money!"

Xia Yu was in a good mood and thought to himself.

Of course, the last sentence is a joke, he still understands the truth about gold in troubled times and antiques in Shengshi.

His original intention was to take some antiques and go back, or to be heirlooms for future generations. Even if the family will fall in the future, the children will be able to sell some antiques to raise funds for a comeback.

Of course, it’s best if the family doesn’t fall, but it’s okay to be prepared!

While Xia Yu was immersed in the "Lotus and Mandarin Duck", He Chaoqiong, who was sitting next to him, also recovered. He glanced curiously at the picture album in Xia Yu's hand, and saw that he hadn't noticed, but was still watching carefully. From time to time, he nodded and smiled in admiration.

She couldn't help but curiously turned her side and saw the picture Xia Yu was looking at.

Feeling a dark shadow moving, Xia Yu looked up and found He Chaoqiong was looking at the picture album in his hand. Xia Yu smiled, handed the picture album over, and said, "Miss He, do you want to see it?"

"No, thank you, I have it here." He Chaoqiong said with a sweet smile, and raised the closed picture album in his hand.

After hesitating for a while, He Chaoqiong asked Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, looking at what you just saw so seriously, is there anything special about this "Lotus and Mandarin Duck"?"

"Call me Xia Yu!"

Seeing He Chaoqiong calling him was obviously not used to it, Xia Yu knew that she rarely called other people's husbands, and a little girl called his husband, he also felt weird, so he said with a smile.

He Chaoqiong glanced at her elder brother and found that he had no objection. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, showing a bright smile, her beautiful eyes bent into crescents, and she said happily: "Okay, then I'll call you Xia Yu, and you are also called Let me face Joan."

After speaking, He Chaoqiong blinked his eyes and looked forward to Xia Yu.

Seeing the beautiful girl's innocent look in expectant eyes, Xia Yu couldn't hold back, and He Chaoqiong's attitude towards him was obviously wrong.

What's going on? Is He Chaoqiong so outgoing and cheerful by nature, or He Youguang told her something that caused her to have such an attitude toward him?

Xia Yu, who couldn't figure it out, didn't bother to think about it. What did he take into consideration as a man.

I don't care what He Youguang thinks anymore, it's important to deal with He Chaoqiong first.

Xia Yu gave He Youguang an apologetic look, then looked at He Chaoqiong, smiled and said, "Okay, Chaoqiong."

He Chaoqiong was obviously a little pleased when he heard Xia Yu didn't see her outside and called her name. He asked in a soft voice again: "Xia Yu, you haven't answered my question yet. What is so special about this painting? ?"

"This painting is very valuable for collection. If you have spare money, it is actually very suitable to be photographed for collection. It is not a problem to increase it several times."

"Moreover, this painting is a rare treasure. Although the above is a photo, it can still reflect the charm of part of the painting. This painting is "out of silt but not stained, clear ripples but not demon." The title of Gaojie lotus, the flower is beautiful, or budding, the first bloom..."

"And Chen Hongshou, the painter, named Zhang Hou, called Lao Lian, Hui Chi, a native of Zhuji..."

Xia Yu said with a smile at the corner of his mouth.

Listening to Xia Yu's explanation, He Chaoqiong was unconsciously immersed in it. He looked at Xia Yu without blinking, and from time to time he showed a look of surprise and surprise. The eyes looking at Xia Yu became more and more admired, and his attention gradually shifted. When it came to Xia Yu, the knowledge Xia Yu explained became more and more difficult to enter her mind.

Feeling something wrong with He Chaoqiong's state, Xia Yu hurriedly ended the introduction, and He Chaoqiong came back to his senses.

"Xia Yu~www.readwn.com~ You know so much, you don’t look much older than me, where did you learn? It’s so amazing!"

He Chaoqiong seemed to have some stars in his eyes, looked at Xia Yu in surprise and said.

"No, I just read a book when I'm idle." Xia Yu said with an excuse.

"Oh!"

"By the way, Xia Yu, I heard my brother say that you are very good. Not only can you write novels, but you also have two companies. Now the first "Jiuding Daily" and "Economic" magazines in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong are also yours. You also earned more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars from Uncle Li. How did you do it? That's amazing!"

"My dad said that my eldest brother is not as good as you. At your age, there is no better than you in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. He said that you are a rare wizard in a century. Are you really so good? Why don't I? come out?"

He Chaoqiongzhen tilted his head slightly, as if thinking of something, his eyes lit up, and he immediately asked Xia Yu, like a yellow oriole, chattering non-stop, and constantly looking at Xia Yu, as if he wanted to discover Xia Yu. How is Yu different?
