Midnight Auction, as the name suggests, is held at midnight. Few of the treasures put up for auction can be put up for public auction. In recent years, collections have become very popular. There are many people in the antique shop and few treasures. Many people have stretched their hands to some legal orders. Prohibited transactions, under the influence of such a big environment, the midnight auction became more and more weird.

"Gujin Pavilion," Kang Tianzhen handed the black note to the guard, with a stern face and a calm face, but his eyes were roving about the surrounding environment.

If he hadn't come to participate in the auction, he would not have known that there is such a low-key, luxurious and connotative place in Nanjing. It is located in a busy city, but it is very secluded. It is simply tailor-made for this kind of shady event!

The doorman smiled, "Mr. Kong, there is nothing wrong with your invitation, welcome to the midnight auction."

The heavy door opened in front of him, revealing the deep corridor behind. Kang Tianzhen murmured in his heart as he walked: Kong Tianzhen seems to be a good surname. Kong Tianzhen is very refined when he hears it. He will have to discuss the issue of changing his surname with his stupid father later...

Before the auspicious time came, a reception was being held in the venue, and most of the people who came to the auction were bigwigs, who were chatting together in twos and threes. Kang Tianzhen had no interest in these old men, so he took a glass of sweet wine and went straight to the dining table.

At 11:[-] in the middle of the night, he was hungry.

"Huh, Xiao Tianzhen? Your uncle is so relieved that you will come out alone," an old but mocking voice rang in his ears.

Kang Tianzhen stuffed a piece of brownie into his mouth, turned around, and saw an old foreign gentleman wearing a double-breasted coat and black cloth shoes looking at him with a wide smile, he chewed his mouth twice to make room for it, and grinned, "In Howling~~"

Kembard looked at him with pity, and spoke fluent Mandarin, "Eat slowly, don't choke."

Kang Tianzhen swallowed his mouth full of food, "Didn't your home, Great Britain, tell you that you can't go wandering around in this kind of place? There is no legal protection if something goes wrong."

"I'll come wherever there are antiques," Kenbad said with a smile. Looking at the booth, he saw a VCR introducing antiques playing on a huge screen. The flash of style makes everyone obsessed.

"China is such a wonderful country," Kembard admired sincerely. "Since my great-grandfather brought back the first piece of porcelain from China, my whole family has been excited about it."

Kang Tianzhen said expressionlessly, "Your great-grandfather was a member of the Eight-Power Allied Forces and a shameless predator."

"But for me, it's the beginning of all good things," Kenbad said with a smile, "Isn't it safer to hide such a beautiful antique in my manor?"

Kang Tianzhen said calmly, "Fart your mother."

"You kid..."

The lights of the venue suddenly dimmed, and a few seconds later, the gorgeous lights exploded suddenly, and an auctioneer appeared at the booth, opening his arms passionately, "Dear guests, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Midnight Auction .”

Kang Tianzhen stretched out his hand slightly as a gesture of congratulations, Ken Bud shook his head resentfully, and walked back to his seat. Kang Tianzhen smiled arrogantly, found a place to sit down, and focused on the booth.

The newly unearthed bronze tripod, the Chenghua official porcelain recorded in the museum, the fake jewelry and jade... One piece of prohibited national treasures was put up for auction in turn. Kang Tianzhen sat under the stage, his fingers trembling slightly, no wonder the auction will be held at midnight, Such a chaotic auction is full of fakes and stolen goods, and the authenticity rate is only one percent.

"This red coral rosary chain has 108 pieces in total, 0.9-1.1cm in size, with an identification certificate attached, and it has been passed down in an orderly manner," the auctioneer enthusiastically praised. It can be called exquisite..."

When the clear picture appeared on the screen, Kang Tianzhen couldn't help being aroused by the pure red, and immediately turned to look at the real projection on the other screen, and found that no matter from which angle the camera was shot, the red coral under the spotlights would look beautiful. Showcasing eye-catching jewels, it is really a rare boutique.

The auctioneer announced the start of the auction, and Kang Tianzhen raised his placard without hesitation, "Fifty thousand and one."

There was a lot of good and bad people at the midnight auction, and the most indispensable thing was the local tyrants, and the local tyrants were usually the ones who looked good. Seeing the dazzling rosary beads, they all raised their cards to follow.

After more than a dozen bids, the price was easily pushed up to more than 11. Kang Tianzhen didn't even bat an eye, "[-]."

"The thousand-year-old coral is red for thousands of years, Xiao Tianzhen is not young, but he has good eyesight," Kembard sat next to him at some point, and joked, "It's just that your parents never seem to have spent a lot of money on jewelry. "

Kang Tianzhen didn't have a good impression of this foreign old man, and said in a bad voice, "I'm willing, can you control me?"

"However, I heard that Ms. Jiang is very fond of jewellery, especially Aka coral. The year before last, at Christie's Spring Auction in the UK, she bought a Qing Dynasty fairy Chengcha coral ornament at a price of 54..."

"What are you doing?" Kang Tianzhen slanted his eyes, "If she likes me, she can't like me?"

Kembard laughed dryly, "I thought you were going to give it to her."

Having been exposed, Kang Tianzhen became even more irritated. She turned her head and gave him a hypocritical smile, gritted her teeth, and repeated solemnly, "I'm willing, can you control me?"

Kembard: "..."

"14 yuan once, is there anyone else to bid? The red coral represents auspiciousness and nobility, symbolizing eternal power..." the auctioneer excitedly said, with a high-pitched voice provoking, "3000 yuan twice, the world 14 tons of red coral are harvested a year, but such pure aka material is extremely rare, does anyone want to collect the only living thousand-year-old spiritual thing in this jewel?" He raised his hand exaggeratedly, and snapped On the table, there was a crisp hammer sound, "3000 yuan three times, deal! Congratulations to this friend!"

Kang Tianzhen smiled with satisfaction.

"Congratulations," Kenbad said with a smile, "this rosary is so gorgeous, Miss Jiang will definitely like it, and it's worth spending a lot of money on you."

After I bought the baby I wanted, Kang Tianzhen was in a good mood, and turned to look at him, "I said, old man, I just bought a string of rosary beads, which is probably not as much as you spent on a nutritional needle, why are you so picky?" Picky?"

Kembard said earnestly, "Your uncle and I are friends. Seeing you spend a lot of money to make Pomeranians smile, I will naturally feel a little distressed. When you get old, you talk more."

"Let me tell you this," Kang Tianzhen tilted his legs, "I was born with a golden spoon in my mouth. My father is from the century-old Kong family, and my mother is the official kiln king. I am the only heir of the Kong and Kang families. My family has a lot of money. Countless... Hey, are you ignoring me?"

"19!" Kembard engrossed in the bidding.

Fuck, is this old man kidding me?Kang Tianzhen was very gloomy, and looked at the thing that made Kembard obsessed with a gloomy face, but was suddenly taken aback, "Huaixin Building?"

The auctioneer said passionately, "Is there anyone else to bid? This "Huaixin Building Chang Wu Zhi" is the third volume of the book. It records the calligraphy and paintings of famous people who were collected in Huaixin Building back then. It was hand-painted by the owner of Huaixin... Well, a friend here is willing to offer 20..."

Kang Tianzhen followed his line of sight, his eyes froze for a moment, and half a second later, he stood up abruptly, pointed to the front and shouted, "Song Wenyuan?"

"What are you doing?" Kembard dragged him down and reprimanded him, "Don't disturb the order of the auction!"

"I saw Song Wenyuan, fuck, he paid the 20 just now?" Kang Tianzhen felt strange, "Isn't this kid so poor that he can't afford it? His great-grandfather's original works are still hidden in the Gujin Pavilion of my house. money back."

Kenbad sneered, did not speak, and concentrated on bidding.

The raising of placards one after another in the auction field gradually stopped, and only Kembard and Song Wenyuan were left clinging to each other. Kang Tianzhen knew that the old man beside him was an old British lord, who had been powerful and wealthy all his life, and dared to compete with the coal bosses in the western auction market. The owner of the auction, he has never failed to get what he likes. Did Song Wenyuan take some wrong medicine to carry it with him here?

Kang Tianzhen rolled his eyes, looked at the old man beside him, and then at Song Wenyuan with an indifferent face. After a while, he seemed to have discovered some big secret, and lowered his voice, "Old man, do you have a conflict with that kid?"

Kembard said helplessly, "I am so old, how can I care about a little doll?"

Sure enough, there was a contradiction, Kang Tianzhen was so wicked, he lowered his voice and began to slander, "This book is his great-grandfather's manuscript, old man, show your courage as a veteran gentleman, please don't take it carelessly!"

Kembard smiled lovingly and held up a placard, "98."

Song Wenyuan didn't seem to notice the two people here, and followed calmly, "99."

The price of a manuscript is already exaggerated. Huaixin is the No. 16 collector in Nanjing, but not the No. 100 calligrapher and painter in Nanjing. If it is a complete set, there is still a competitive value, but now it is only [-]/[-]th, and it is worth spending [-]. Wan?

But Song Wenyuan seemed to be sure to get the book, and Kembard couldn't help but wonder if there was something hidden. He tilted his head and whispered to the secretary, "Go and check to see if there is a chaebol behind him."

Then he hesitated for a moment and raised his sign again.

Seeing that it was about to break through the 100 million mark, Kang Tianzhen had a sycophant's face and was excited, "He has bid again, hurry up, old man, don't lose face of the old gentleman!"

Kembard glanced at him with a very sad expression on his face.

Song Wenyuan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, swiped his fingers on the phone a few times, then raised his head calmly, "100 million."

The audience was sensational.

The secretary whispered in Kenbad's ear, "Song Wenyuan doesn't usually have contact with others, could it be his teacher Huang Xingyun?"

Kembard shook his head, "Impossible."

"I heard that Miss Jiang Biying is actively pursuing him..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Kang Tianzhen was the first to explode, "Bi Ying is dignified and self-reliant, she will never be a prostitute, and with Song Wenyuan's character, she will not accept other people's support!"

Kembard gave him a cool look, "You trust them."

"Concentrate on taking pictures of you." Kang Tian was really annoyed, "Song Wenyuan took away the duck that was full of mouth, let's see where you put your old face."

"You child," Kembard didn't know whether to cry or laugh. After hesitating again and again, he still didn't bid. He looked up at the booth, only to hear that the auctioneer had already called the countdown, and closed his eyes in frustration.

"One million once...100 million twice, who will Huaixin's out-of-print manuscripts end up in? Can it reproduce the grand occasion of the Huaixin Building with a collection of millions of books? One million three..."

"One million five thousand," Kembard snapped his eyes open.

Song Wenyuan glanced sideways, smiled faintly, and withdrew from the auction.

It was early morning when the auction ended, the sky was clear, Kang Tianzhen went through the formalities and got his coral rosary, played with it on his wrist, walked out of the venue, his eyelids twitched, and walked up quickly, "What are you two doing? "

Song Wenyuan put one hand in his trouser pocket, and said gently, "I happened to meet Mr. Zhao, let's have a chat."

When Kembard first came to China, he loved poetry very much. He loved the tranquility of "stopping and sitting in the maple forest at night, and the frost leaves are red in February flowers", so he named himself Zhao Zuai after the national surname of the Song Dynasty. He turned into Zhao frame frame somehow, so he abandoned it.

"What are you two talking about?" Kang Tianzhen looked at the two suspiciously, and found that Kenbad's face was cold, as if he was very angry.

"Talking about the auction just now, I didn't expect that the old man not only loves porcelain, but also has a great research on rare calligraphy and painting," Song Wenyuan said happily, "It also gave me a new understanding of the price of my great-grandfather's calligraphy."

Kang Tianzhen was startled, "Did you raise the price on purpose just now? No, how dare you..."

"Of course not," Song Wenyuan smiled with a trace of undisguised malice, which made the denial quite unconvincing, and Kang Tianzhen couldn't help but look at him twice.

Kenbad twisted a smile on his ashen face, and his old eyes were covered with a layer of kindness, and he smiled heartily, "I haven't seen you for a few months, but you really impress me."

Song Wenyuan smiled calmly, "The boy is stupid, and he is really ashamed to be praised by the old master."

"Hehehe, today you taught me an old saying, since ancient times, heroes make young men," Kembard smiled, "Unfortunately, there is another sentence, your heart is higher than the sky, and your life is thinner than paper, Xiao Song, what do you mean by this sentence? You have to teach me well."

Song Wenyuan seemed to have been stabbed to the core in an instant.

Watching his back disappear into the morning mist, Kang Tianzhen turned to look at Kembard, "It seems that you two are not young, how did you provoke him?"

Kembard shook his head helplessly, as if he couldn't figure it out, "How can there be such a child who repays his kindness? Alas, when his father got into trouble, I was the one who paid to help tide over the crisis, but now..."

Kang Tianzhen rolled his eyes at him, "You would be so kind? I don't believe it."

After spending the whole night in the auction house, Rao ate a full stomach of dim sum in advance, and now he is hungry, so Kang Tianzhen simply went straight to the antique street. The steamed stuffed bun cage was steaming. Kang Tianzhen stepped into the store and yelled at the waiter, "Hurry up and give me two cages of crab roe soup dumplings, I'm starving to death!"

He has been hanging around here since he was a child, and the waiters have long been familiar with him, so he pointed casually, "Sit aside and wait."

Kang Tianzhen followed his fingers and froze for a moment, only to see Song Wenyuan was sitting by the window, slowly eating a basket of buns and a bowl of gruel.

The morning light cast light and shadow on his face, reflecting three-dimensional facial features, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, making him so handsome.

Kang Tianzhen strode over, sat down across from him, directed the waiter to put the crab roe soup buns and soy milk on the table, fixed his eyes on Song Wenyuan, grabbed the buns and stuffed them into his mouth.

The two ate without saying a word, without interfering with each other, Kang Tianzhen found it novel, thinking that this kid in front of him is sick, right?He was approached by himself to mess around, but now he can still eat face to face in peace when they meet?

If it were me, I would have punched so hard that my mother wouldn't even recognize her.

"Hey, how did you get into trouble with Ji Bu De?" Kang Tianzhen bit the crab yolk bun, slurring his words, "He said that you will repay your kindness with revenge, I think you are ugly and frustrated and poach people's corners, but you are not such a bad person Bar."

Song Wenyuan was holding a porridge bowl and glanced at him when he heard the words, "Personal grievances."

"What personal grievances?" Kang Tianzhen's eyes sparkled, "Let's talk about it and have fun. Generally speaking, those who have grievances with the dick are good comrades who are loyal to the country and the party. Hey, don't resist it, share it Come on, everyone is Chinese."

Song Wenyuan finished his breakfast gracefully, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and said calmly, "Don't eat crab roe soup dumplings for breakfast."

"Ah?" Kang Tianzhen was taken aback.

"You talk too much, you tend to choke," Song Wenyuan finished leisurely, stood up and walked out of the store.

"Ahem...fuck...cough cough..."
