[Golden Fen Family] Reborn Xiuzhu

Things got really bad that night. Miss Jin Wu came back drunk, and Mrs. Bai stayed up all night.

Bai Xiuzhu bought a newspaper in the morning, and she saw that the big casino incident was on the headlines last night, but fortunately, there was no news about Bai Xiuzhu.She didn't know if it was a coincidence or someone was behind the scenes, but the result had come out, and Bai Xiuzhu felt very good.

She put down the newspaper, Li Haoran and Du Jiu's names did not appear in the news, but their identities were mentioned sideways, it seemed that everything was over like this.

"Knock knock knock..."

Bai Xiuzhu knocked on Miss Jin Wu's door, "Minzhi, are you awake?"

Jin Minzhi got drunk last night, Bai Xiuzhu got home for a while before she came back, and she was full of nonsense, but when she heard it, she was full of English. I was afraid that she would suffer, so I asked several times to confirm that she was all right before letting someone clean up to bed.It's past ten o'clock in the morning, and she should get up.

There was a wailing sound from inside, followed by Jin Minzhi's feeble voice: "Is Xiuzhu? Come in, I have a headache."

Bai Xiuzhu opened the door and went in, Jin Minzhi was still lying on the bed, "Are you feeling better?"

Jin Minzhi pressed his forehead and looked at Bai Xiuzhu pitifully, "How did I come back?"

"Sent here by your American friends, I saw that they were sitting in an embassy car from the concession." Bai Xiuzhu frowned, she didn't expect Jin Minzhi to have contacts with such people.

Jin Minzhi opened his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "That's it. I did meet them. A colleague of mine in the United States is now working in the embassy. He is upright. I don't hold a lot of alcohol. I saw them yesterday, so I drank a lot." A little too much, Xiuzhu—this Mrs. Bai won't know, will she?"

Bai Xiuzhu said in her heart that Mrs. Bai hadn't come back yet, and she was about to call the Bai mansion, fearing that something had happened, but remembering what Du Jiu said about Mrs. Bai last night, she felt that Mrs. Bai actually had her own plan. Such a Japanese person stays by Bai Xiongqi's side, but he still doesn't know what his intentions are.

But after all, it's a family matter, so it's not easy to tell Jin Minzhi that no matter how close she is, she is still an outsider, not to mention that Bai Xiuzhu is not too close to her.She just sat beside Jin Minzhi's bed and smiled: "She has something to do, she hasn't come back yet, don't worry, I won't tell you what happened last night. You are really serious when I turn around, and you disappeared when I turned around, so call me easy to find."

"Didn't I ask someone to leave a note for you? You didn't receive it?" Jin Minzhi was puzzled at this moment.

Bai Xiuzhu was taken aback, "If I receive it, I don't have to look for it in the middle of the night."

Jin Minzhi sat up, hugged the cup, his eyes were dull: "The guy who sent the message must have forgotten."

As she spoke, she was about to get up, Bai Xiuzhu said: "I'll go down first, the auction is almost done, you remember to go to the kitchen for dinner later, it has been prepared for you."

Jin Minzhi nodded vaguely, and his short hair hung around his ears, shaking accordingly.

The members of the Jin family are stranger than each other.

After thinking about it, Bai Xiuzhu went downstairs. The servants came over and said that there was a letter from Bai Xiuzhu. As soon as she took it, she immediately saw the writing on it. The man was still waiting for her, so he temporarily suppressed his contemplation and asked, "Why, is there anything else?"

"Just when you went upstairs, Mrs. Bai came back, but her eyes were red, she just said that she is back, don't worry, she has already called the Bai mansion, and she is very tired to rest, if you have something to do Leave a note if you want to go out."

Bai Xiuzhu didn't expect her to come back at this time, but she said that she had already called the Bai Mansion, implying that she didn't want Bai Xiuzhu to call again. "It's okay, go down and get busy."

Mrs. Bai came to Shanghai and said that she was to accompany Bai Xiuzhu and relax by herself, but now her behavior became more and more suspicious.

She went back to her room, opened the envelope, and inside was just a postcard without a signature, with a branch of purple-blue hyacinth printed on it, and three words written on the back: Chang Anhao.

The three characters are written with a pen, and every bit of stroke is outstanding, just like Li Haoran's whole person.

Is the word like a person...

Inexplicably, a postcard was sent, which was still a hyacinth picture.

She pressed the postcard under the glass of the desk, with the hyacinth printed side up, blue-purple, and the light blue transparent glass, which suddenly made people feel transparent physically and mentally.

The auction at the Sanfa Auction House started in the afternoon, and Mrs. Bai came out again, and sent someone to follow Bai Xiuzhu out, but once she arrived at the auction house, Bai Xiuzhu asked people not to follow her.

At the door, I met a group of old guys from Liulichang, who were standing by the side discussing today's auction, and their voices were not low.

No matter how active the antique market in Shanghai is, the real top is still in the circle of Liulichang. In a circle, people from other places can't get in. Some young collectors stand not far from them, listening with sharp ears, trying to know some secret information.

As soon as Bai Xiuzhu came, Boss Yi saw it, and quickly pointed at everyone, "I thought she wouldn't come, Miss Bai, you are so late!"

The other bosses also laughed, with extremely kind expressions. Boss Zhang of Rongbaozhai sighed: "Miss Bai brought a few collections this time, which are all treasures. It's a pity that they only came for auction and didn't pass them on to me privately." .”

Bai Xiuzhu knew that this group of people was acting, so she didn't expose it. The rest of the collectors walked up to these bosses and laughed immediately: "Xiuzhu, it's not too late, it's just that the bosses thought that the treasures came too early. , As for my few things, they are all not on the stage, Boss Zhang, don't make fun of me."

There were a lot of people in the hall, especially the people in Liulichang who were eye-catching, they were all big bosses, but suddenly a young girl wearing a purple cheongsam appeared, which was a bit surprising.

France's Sanfa Auction House, this time it took great pains to plan a large-scale auction. It was attended by big names in the collection industry, as well as some dignitaries in the concession area. Even the three major gangsters in Shanghai also came to join in. This is a place where celebrities gather. It's a show for the upper class, and Liulichang's bigwigs are well-known in the industry. Everyone thinks it doesn't matter if they get together, but suddenly a girl appears, who seems to be on the same level as these people, and The words are extremely familiar, and I am afraid that they have a different identity.

The people next to them listened to their conversation and guessed that Bai Xiuzhu was also a sharp collector and probably brought some precious collections.So after inquiring about the collectors from Beijing, I found out that Miss Bai Xiuzhu's identity is the younger sister of Bai Xiongqi, the deputy prime minister in Beijing, and she is quite well-known in the circle in Beijing, especially with you big bosses. make friends.

The young collector can't even see a person, but Bai Xiuzhu can talk to him calmly. This feeling is a bit unpleasant, but that's all.

After Bai Xiuzhu greeted everyone, Sanfa Auction House etiquette came over and invited everyone to enter.

This side of the venue is all walking casually. Bai Xiuzhu followed Boss Zhang's people, and they walked in the middle, sitting in a row against the carved wall pillars.

After Bai Xiuzhu completed it, she took a look at the environment of the auction site. The specifications of this auction are relatively high. This auction site is considered to be the top of the three methods. Western Gothic style, red carpets, well-made armchairs, everything looks extravagant.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the auction conference held by the Sanfa Auction House. This auction conference is honored to invite the French embassy..."

After a lot of lengthy introductions, Bai Xiuzhu looked at the foreigners sitting in the front seat, with her left hand on her right arm, Boss Yi and Boss Zhang said a few words together, and then Boss Zhang turned to Bai Xiuzhu's ear and said: "On the post after a while, the No. 13 lot was auctioned anonymously by Boss Yi in the name of a foreigner, helping to speculate."

The corners of Bai Xiuzhu's lips curled up, and she nodded with a smile in her eyes.

To put it bluntly, a few people from Beijing came here on purpose this time just to disrupt the situation. Because there are so many lots in this auction, one person can't do anything, so they specially formed a team. Bai Xiuzhu came by herself, but before leaving, Bai Xiuzhu Xiongqi gave her a sum of money, so she is also worth a lot, but in such a large auction, her capital is really nothing, so she was just making up for it.

After talking for a long time over there, they also introduced the so-called distinguished guests who were invited. Most of the people around Bai Xiuzhu and the others ignored her. Originally, Bai Xiuzhu was going to applaud, but the bosses of Liulichang were all angry. She dozes her eyes calmly and does not move, and does not look at those so-called high society dignitaries, but Bai Xiuzhu is amused.

"See that one in front? That's Jin Baocai, the great antique dealer in Shanghai now, he's our formidable enemy..."

Sitting on the other side of Bai Xiuzhu, Boss Mu chuckled, took out a cigarette and slowly rolled it in his hand, as if he was quite leisurely.

Bai Xiuzhu has been in this circle, and she probably knows those powerful people. This Jinbao was a broker in the last years of Guangxu, and he started to introduce business to other antique dealers. Later, he became bigger and bigger. I heard that there are many people in his hands. In recent years, tomb robbery activities have also been rampant, and with the presence of foreign collectors, he has developed very fast. He opened his own store a few years ago, but it is very impressive. It can be said that he is a giant in Shanghai.

She turned her eyes to look at that person, but was suddenly taken aback. In the three rows in front, there was indeed a thin-looking old man with gray hair, and an emerald green wrench on his thumb, which was slowly turned. He was still wearing an old-fashioned gown, and he looked neither rich nor expensive, but there were two people sitting beside him, one on the left and one on the right, both of whom Bai Xiuzhu knew very well.

On the left is Du Jiu, who still looks like a fool, and on the right is Li Haoran. I have to say that Bai Xiuzhu was very surprised when she saw them. These two just smashed someone else's casino yesterday. Coming out to the auction?

And what is the intention of these two people participating in the auction?

She immediately had a headache. Could something happen in this auction?

Anyway, there will never be any good things with these two people.

Bai Xiuzhu's expression was immediately caught by Boss Mu, who smiled and continued to roll his cigarette, "You saw it too, right? I didn't know Haoran was so capable. I guess I really watched this scene."

Bai Xiuzhu didn't understand: "Why is he with the one in Shanghai?"

She heard that Jin Baocai had close ties with foreign collectors, and sold fresh goods, that is, those just unearthed, bronzes, stones and porcelains, and most of them were real goods, and there were people behind them, so the foundation in Shanghai was very deep. However, most serious and conscientious antique dealers can't understand him. Everyone agrees to illegal activities. After all, everyone has those unknown ways to get money and goods, but he sells things to foreigners. There is no principle.

It's not that they can't be sold, but that the nature of the sales is different.

No one would say anything about equal transactions, but he was just trying to curry favor, and he didn't care about anything for money. Although he had a sharp eye, he was also criticized by others.

Li Haoran must have his own plans beside this person.

Thinking of the thrilling scene last night, Bai Xiuzhu frowned badly.

"If Jin Bao is not forced, but if he wants to, then this auction will be... Think about it, he is a Shanghai auction giant, if he follows us here to stir up trouble, then what will happen to those ignorant foreigners? Jiu returned to his side, why do I feel that this old guy is being held hostage?" Boss Zhang rubbed his chin and smiled.

Bai Xiuzhu felt the hair on her back suddenly stand up. Why did Boss Zhang smile so... I don't know how to describe it...

In charge of the auction, Sanfa Auction House invited a Chinese who is proficient in French and able to communicate with the person in charge there. As soon as he came up, he slapped the hammer and politely said that the auction has officially started, so please come up with the first lot.

It was blue and white porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty, with an introduction written on it, and it was too far away to see clearly. Bai Xiuzhu could only judge based on the information she got, but she shook her head after looking at it for a while, as if it was a forgery.

Over there, Boss Zhang just glanced at it and dropped the information. It seems that his judgment was right.

Bai Xiuzhu raised her eyebrows. It is still in the research stage at this time, and the bidding will have to wait for a while.

In this period, the auction house has its own bidding method. In the past, the three-way auction house used one-time bidding, that is, each bidder wrote his own price on paper, and there was only one chance. , so it has a great risk, sometimes it will be written high, and sometimes it can be missed.

However, most auction houses still adopt the outcry method.

Now that this auction will use two methods in turn, this is the first time in the world.

Most of the auction items are bought at a price. Bai Xiuzhu has heard of such a thing more than once for [-] silver dollars in exchange for an auction item in a garden, but the real auction house here can sell hundreds of thousands. The price is more than that.

All the celebrities at the auction can be seen from the prices of the lots.

The starting price for this blue and white porcelain vase was three thousand. Before Bai Xiuzhu had time to realize it, she saw Jin Bao raised her skinny hand in front of her. The silver-white number plate flickered and shouted, "Five thousand."

Bai Xiuzhu and the group of people here frowned. They all saw that it was a fake. Most likely it was deliberately made by the auction house to cheat money, but what happened to this old man?It's impossible for him not to see it, is there something tricky in it?

Boss Zhang and the others glanced at each other, but still couldn't figure it out, so they decided to press down and wait and see what happened.

Blue and white porcelain, is it true or false?

Nobody knows.

Just looking at the picture, Bai Xiuzhu and others believed it was fake.

But Jin Bao has been in the antique market for so many years, and he has a keen eye. He rarely admits mistakes. At this time, did he miss it or the group of them?

"Six thousand."

Immediately someone followed up.

Bai Xiuzhu frowned, and turned to the auction house to distribute the information. The information on the owner of the item was recorded on the back, but this item was auctioned anonymously.

Many people don't want their information to be known, so they choose anonymous auctions. However, this method often leads to doubts about the authenticity of the auction items, and the auction prices are often not high.

"Is this auction anonymous?" Boss Yi also noticed something was wrong.

Boss Zhang chuckled, "Leave him alone."

Bai Xiuzhu also simply ignored it, watching the price climb over there, she just felt like she had entered a puzzle.

Li Haoran was talking to Jin Baocai with a smile on his face, and Bai Xiuzhu suddenly had a strange feeling—could it be that guy who tricked others into buying it?

Although Li Haoran and Bai Xiuzhu seem to be a very upright person, this person is definitely not upright in the traditional sense, and he is not relentless when it is time to use tricks insidiously.

That lot was bought by Jin Baocai at a high price of several thousand. Their small group from Beijing thought that Jin Baocai must be crazy, and they didn't understand what he was doing at all.Even if the blue and white porcelain vase is a treasure, it is definitely not worth the price.

The later auction items were also brought up. If necessary, you can ask etiquette to push over to take a look, but Bai Xiuzhu hasn't seen anything interesting yet, so she hasn't made a move so far. She just pays attention to Li Haoran's side. Jin Bao is really generous. He took a few pieces, and he thought they were old-fashioned in the industry. In addition, Beijing Liulichang occasionally followed up with the bidding, and the auctioned item would often fetch an unexpected high price.

Those foreigners don't know how to look at things, but they know how to look at people. As long as Jinbao buys something, he will follow suit, and then keep raising the price, and the price is always very high.

At the beginning, she didn't feel it, but after a long time, Bai Xiuzhu felt that Jin Bao's talent was a bit fake, and his behavior seemed to have unknowingly included foreigners.

"Boss Jin seems to be..." Bai Xiuzhu was about to say that she found out, but she didn't want Boss Zhang to make a hissing gesture at her.

Bai Xiuzhu shook her head and smiled.

She just lowered her head and was about to look at the No. 13 lot that Boss Yi said just now. Suddenly, a staff member of the auction house wearing white gloves came over and handed a letter to her. There was no signature or signature on the letter. Fortunately, it was disassembled on the spot, so I had to get up from my seat and go out.

Because they were seated in the opposite position, she only attracted the attention of a small number of people when she stood up. She turned around and walked to the corridor. She stood in the corner of the balcony and watched the people coming and going downstairs, which was very lively. She turned her back The envelope was opened, and there was a blank postcard, but the ink was very stained, as if it had just been written: We met again.

She was startled, but she couldn't understand the words.But when she looked up, the man was standing in front of her.

"How do you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Haoran had already walked up to her and raised an index finger to tell her not to speak.

She frowned and looked at her.

Li Haoran held her hand, went to a room upstairs, and then said: "I almost forgot that you are coming here."

"I should be asking why you came here, right? You guys made such a big commotion last night, why are you still walking around like a normal person? There will be an auction in this place..." Bai Xiuzhu was worried for him, But Li Haoran still looked unmoved.

He smiled, his eyes brightened: "Are you worried about me?"

Bai Xiuzhu choked, her earlobes turned red, "Don't talk about those, I'm talking about serious things with you."

So Li Haoran raised his hands up and made a gesture of surrender: "Okay, okay, I can't say anything about you, Miss, but you are worried about me and I know it. I came here as planned. Jiu's relationship has been suppressed, and the impact is not too great, so don't worry too much about it."

"What is the intention of that Jin Baocai?" Bai Xiuzhu had to ask this, because she was afraid that this person would do something bad.

Li Haoran said: "He didn't come here voluntarily, but his son was scammed by foreigners a few days ago, and he is unhappy these two days. We just took advantage of this."

"Is the target... Yuxi?" Bai Xiuzhu asked.

Li Haoran suddenly looked back at her, "Women don't be too smart, what will I do in the future?"

"..." Bai Xiuzhu was stunned for a moment, only to realize how ambiguous his plain words were, she felt complicated for a moment, and fixedly looked at him.

Li Haoran just turned around and took out a small suitcase under the table in the room. He didn't listen to her, turned back to look in doubt, but saw her staring at him blankly. The box walked up to her, stretched out his hand hesitantly, but stroked her hair, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

Bai Xiuzhu blinked, this man, don't tell her so easily, she still doesn't know where she will be in the future, if he asks her, she won't be able to answer.

"I'm with you, is there a future?"

A smile curled up on Li Haoran's lips, the relationship between him and her is very natural, obviously they don't have much contact, but they both know that those things are buried deep and growing. "If something happens, no matter how difficult it is, there will be a result. If my dear Miss Bai Xiuzhu doesn't like me as a poor man, I can only throw a big stone into the Huangpu River..."

Bai Xiuzhu burst out laughing, she looked like she was about to cry before, but now her eyes were moist and warm, but she covered her lips and gave him a sideways look: "Slick tongue..."

"When the matter is over, I..." He didn't say the rest, just looked at her with a smile, and then pointed to the box, "After a while, No. 20 will come out, you can find an excuse to leave, come here Take this box to Sandao Foreign Firm outside the concession, and Du Jiuhui will send someone to protect you. This is something that you people in Liulichang need very much."

When Bai Xiuzhu thought of the box that Li Haoran took away that day, she had a strange premonition in her heart.

Li Haoran leaned against her, looked at her elegant cheongsam, reached out to touch her face, put his lips on her forehead, and said softly: "I like you, Xiuzhu, I remember that it is the No. everything is fine."

It was similar to prayer words, which suddenly warmed her heart.She nodded, covering his forehead with his warm lips, she said, "Me too..."

The voice suddenly disappeared, Li Haoran looked at her, but she buried her head, turned and went out.

The author has something to say: I'm sorry... I was so shocked yesterday that I fell asleep all day... I only got up in the morning... Don't ask me why, hahahaha
