When Maitreya Buddha was taken back to the hotel, Xu Wei put it in the suitcase and did not take it out. After all, it is really inconvenient to live with other people in the hotel.

Afterwards, Xu You began to rush around for her younger sister's university career. Every day before the exam, Xu Wei would go to that school to find out the way, where is the exam room, and where can I eat nearby? Ah, the terrain is not complicated anymore, it's all Xu Er needs to investigate.

At this time, Qi Fengzhou will take the two girls around the capital to relax, and even go to a temple near the capital to ask for a lottery.

In short, the two men who met for the sake of candidates miraculously established some revolutionary comrades-in-arms and became a pair of year-end friends.

"Oh, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief." As the Spring Festival approached, the examinations of various schools finally came to an end.

Both girls did well in the exams, and it is conservatively estimated that there are at least two schools to choose from.

Qi Fengzhou is nearly fifty years old, and he has spent half his life in these days.

"It's really not something people do to take the college entrance examination, Xiao Er, I think you're wandering around whenever you have time, but have you found any interesting places?" Qi Fengzhou booked a plane ticket in three days' time , Flying back to my hometown in the Central Plains, I can just relax these few days.

Xu Wei thought about it, and said hesitantly, "I do know about a private auction, but I don't know if you want to go."

Recently, Xu You and Mr. Zhou have been fighting fiercely, especially knowing that Xu You was his rival in love when he was young. To say that he likes Xu Wei, it is better to say that he is angry with Guo Lao.

Zhou Lao and Guo Lao were rivals in love when they were young, and of course the object of competition was Grandma Guo.It is obvious that Zhou Lao lost completely. Although he and his wife are now on the same level and have a lot of children and grandchildren, there is no reason for the old man to say what happened when he was young.

Anyway, the two of them were fighting against each other, which made Xu Er cheaper.At least, Xu Wei knew a lot about the underground antique trade in Kyoto. Although he had only been there once, it was indeed an eye-opener.

"Where? Do you know what there is?" Qi Fengzhou is also a person with some ability in his hometown. This time, he took his daughter to take the exam by himself, but he just wanted to enjoy the family happiness.

Therefore, Qi Fengzhou is also very familiar with private auctions. He knows that those who can hold this kind of auctions have some strength, and they are generally safe.

What's more, private auctions don't have to pay taxes and can handle some sensitive items, so the prices are generally lower.

"Tomorrow, the last time I was in a private club, I also thought that the senior took me there once. This auction is very safe, and people who go to enter the venue with a card. I have a card, and I can bring one person." The card is guaranteed by Mr. Zhou and issued to Xu Wei, otherwise, even if you are rich, the other party will not give you a card.

"Sure, let's go, those two girls are going shopping, and it will be in the way if we go." Qi Fengzhou slapped his thigh, thinking it was a good thing, he readily agreed.

The next day, Xu Er deposited 2000 yuan in a bank card that he gave to Xu Ni in Shanghai, so that Xu Ni and Qi Lili could have a good time, while he and Qi Fengzhou stayed in the hotel and waited. The people from the auction came to pick it up.

Because of the secrecy of this kind of auction, usually the location will be temporarily changed. Even the middleman who is sent out to pick up people has to wait for the phone call. If you go by yourself, you will never find a place.

The person who came to pick up Xu Wei was a thin man in his 30s, who looked very slippery and had a mole on the corner of his mouth. When talking on the phone, the other party introduced himself as a mouse, and he lived up to his name.

The mouse drives a dilapidated-looking Audi, but as soon as he gets in the car, he finds that the cushions and seat backs are wrapped in blankets, making it very warm to sit on.

"The two bosses are seated, and we'll drive right away." Mice's driving skills are good, and even in Kyoto, he rarely gets stuck in traffic.

The two sat in the car, chatting and looking out of the car. The roads on both sides became more familiar as they walked.

"Isn't this the way to that conservatory?" Qi Fengzhou looked at the scenery outside and murmured to Xu Er, "Auctions are all held in the school these days?"

"If you think about it, no one will go to the school to arrest people, right?" Xu Wei was also a little puzzled. The private club last time was very good, and ordinary people couldn't get in. I don't understand why it was changed to the school this time.

Of course, the auction was not held in the school, but in a bungalow behind the Conservatory of Music. From the outside, it looked like an ordinary courtyard house, but inside it was different.

As soon as he entered the door, Xu Wei felt that there were seven or eight pairs of eyes looking at him. In such a small courtyard, the security was so tight, which also showed the ability of the organizer and the value of the auction items on the one hand.

Although Qi Fengzhou looked calm on the outside, he was very shocked and excited in his heart. Judging from the several private auctions he participated in before, there must be special good things to be auctioned this time.

Qi Fengzhou shook the lockbox in his hand, doubting whether the money he brought was enough.

He looked at the box in Xu Wei's hand again, wondering if he should borrow some money from Xu Wei at that time.

The auction was held in the courtyard of the courtyard, where several chairs had already been placed.

Xu Er and Qi Fengzhou arrived a bit late, so they sat on the side seats.

More than a dozen people talked together in twos and threes. After a while, four men who looked like Lian Jiazi carried a stage into the venue, and then stood in a row. A man in his 40s, wearing a suit, looked A very nice looking man walked in.

"Everyone, I have come from afar to participate in this small gathering. I, Pengcheng, would like to express my gratitude on behalf of the host. Without further ado, there are a total of ten items to be auctioned this time. Let's take a look at the first item 'Warring States Gluttonous Lotus' Wenfang Zun', the starting price is [-]."

Xu You was taken aback. When it came up, it was the bronze wares of the Warring States period. Wouldn't the things behind them be national treasures?

But when two strong men brought up the 'Warring States Gluttonous Lotus-patterned Square Zun', Xu You breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little regretful.

The so-called 'Warring States gluttonous lotus pattern square statue' looks like an old object, but it was just unearthed from a living pit. No wonder it was sold as soon as it came up. Most people really don't want it.

At the beginning, there were no bids, but later a man wearing a gold chain raised his hand and quoted a price of '11', and quickly took the 'Warring States Taotie Lotus Pattern Square Zun' away.

After that, there were several calligraphy and paintings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, all of which were relatively well-known. They were sold at a price of more than a dozen or 20 yuan. Among them, a landscape painting in Qifengzhou was sold for 19 yuan.

But four or five items in a row were all such lukewarm objects, which made the following bad-tempered people start to have resentment.

The organizer saw that the scene was a bit out of control, and quickly changed to a more attractive lot on stage.

"Everyone knows, and now everyone knows that there are fewer and fewer good things, and there is no one in ten with orderly inheritance. Today, I have a special object with orderly inheritance. get more."

As he spoke, someone released a painting.

"It's calligraphy and painting again. I said that today is a calligraphy and painting exhibition?" A very young man said bitterly, which resonated with several people.

But after the painting was hung up, these people stopped shouting.

An interesting picture of shrimp, five feet square, three swimming shrimps playing in the water, with three lotus leaves scattered beside it, signed by old man Baishi.

With a 'boom--', all the dozen or so people fell silent, and even Xu You, who didn't like traditional Chinese painting very much, was fascinated by it.

Looking at the bright pale white halo on the picture scroll of old man Baishi's interesting picture, Xu You is [-]% sure that it is a genuine one.

As for the three layers, it's because Xu Wei couldn't guarantee that it wasn't another painter's copy.

So Xu You didn't like painting and calligraphy very much, and it was really difficult to identify such antiques.

"The starting price is 25, and the starting price is at least [-] for a single sign."

"30"

"35"

"37"

"40"

"45."

.. ......

Until the end, this interesting picture of shrimp was sold for 50 yuan by a beautifully dressed lady.

Afterwards, the atmosphere of the whole venue was stirred up, and the next Song Dynasty official kiln monk hat pot was sold at a price close to 100 million.

The next ones were more exquisite than the last, and even Xu Wei saw a foreign oil painting currently in use by Baoguang.

Since Xu Wei didn't know anything about oil painting, he didn't make a move. There are too many treasures in the world, and it is impossible for Xu Wei to catch them all.

The final lot is a 'Jadeite Fushou Ruyi Jewelry Box' carved entirely from a piece of water-type two-color jadeite with a strong Chinese color.

The whole box is about the size of a lady's handbag. The main body is milky white, the lid is emerald green, the whole body is crystal clear, and the knife is smooth and natural.

The starting price was 90 yuan, and several ladies present snapped it up, and finally it soared to 280 million yuan, a full three-fold increase.

With the finalization of the "Emerald Fushou Ruyi Jewelry Box", this private auction has also come to an end.The last link is that the organizer puts some items that they are not sure about, or that they bought in packages, and spread them in the venue. If they are fancy, they will fill in the price on a piece of paper, and finally the highest bidder will get it. It is commonly known as dark shooting.

Qi Fengzhou never paid much attention to this part, but because he couldn't leave the venue early, he had to hang out with Xu Wei.

However, since Xu You knew some knowledge about antiques, and had more experience in miscellaneous things, the two of them talked while walking, and they didn't feel bored.

During the period, Xu Er passed by a box of ancient ink 'inadvertently', and briefly explained the benefits of using ancient ink to practice calligraphy. He wrote a note casually and handed it to the waiter.

After the private auction, Xu You successfully bought a box of ancient ink for 10 yuan, and returned to the hotel with Qi Fengzhou.

The next day, the four of them had a pleasant tour of Kyoto, completely dispelling the tension during the previous exam.

On December 25th of the lunar calendar, Xu You brought Xu Ni back to Maoer Village. Originally Xu You wanted to go home for the New Year, but neither Liu Yunhua nor Xu Yanbin welcomed Xu You back home.

So the next day, Xu Wei contacted a truck that was going into the city, left his hometown, and returned to the magic capital.
