"This bronze mirror from the Dragon Kingdom 300 years ago can bring good luck to the owner. The starting price is one million, and the price increases by 10,000 each time!"
shouted the auctioneer.
As soon as he finished shouting, David beside Su Lin raised his hand: "One and a half million!"
Su Lin couldn't help but look at him.
Spending 1.5 million to buy a modern handicraft is a bit of a loss.
But this thing is still a magic weapon. Although it is a one-time use, if it can be used at critical times, 1.5 million is still enough.
No matter how high it is, it's not worth it.
Speaking of which, this was the second fake Sulin encountered tonight.
It seemed that the visitors were all interested in things from the Dragon Kingdom, so the bidding was fierce. After several rounds of bidding, the price of this bronze mirror soared to six million.
He Zhiran walked over and asked in a low voice: "Lin Zi, this bronze mirror..."
Su Lin nodded and shook his head.
Although He Zhiran didn't understand what Su Lin meant, he also knew that he was not interested in this bronze mirror, so he gave up the idea of bidding.
He originally wanted to buy it as a gift to Su Lin.
At this time, the bidding stopped, and the last bidder happened to be David. He successfully obtained the bronze mirror at a price of 7.1 million.
Su Lin shook his head amusedly.
This baby is so pitiful.
Tonight, he encountered a total of two fakes, and he ended up photographing them all. This was no one's luck.
It can be seen from this that the collection in the basement of his home may also have problems.
The bronze mirror was sent over, and Su Lin asked to come over and use the black book to identify it again to confirm that it was a modern product.
But at the same time, I felt a weak anode power from this bronze mirror, which should be the reason why it was judged as a magic weapon by the black book.
However, this level of anode power can probably only scare those ownerless ghosts, and there is nothing that can be done with slightly more powerful ghosts.
Su Lin shook his head and handed the bronze mirror to David.
David asked: "Don't you know how to appraise antiques? How about this one?"
Su Lin held back a smile and said, "Not bad!"
"I just said yes, I still have pretty good eyesight."
David obviously didn't hear his sarcasm and looked proud.
The auction continued, and all the auctions were full of serious antiques. Although they were all genuine, Su Lin lost interest and continued to eat after stepping back.
Vera sneaked over from nowhere, grabbed a grape from Sulin's hand and threw it into her mouth. She snickered and said, "I saw you bought a Buddha statue. It must be a good thing."
This girl has good taste.
"Well, it's a good thing." He didn't want to explain too much.
The two were talking, and He Zhiran came over again at this time and whispered to Su Lin: "Lin Zi, can you do me a favor?"
Su Lin looked at him: "What are you doing?"
He Zhiran said: "A business partner of mine recently had a son and wanted to find someone to name him."
Su Lin asked in surprise: "Foreigner?"
He Zhiran said speechlessly: "How can a foreigner be so troublesome? We are from the Dragon Kingdom, but we have been in Yingjiang since our grandfather's generation. This man does not forget his roots and wants to name his son the Dragon Kingdom."
"Oh, yes!"
Su Lin suddenly realized that he asked why the foreigner asked him to name him. It turned out that he was from the Dragon Kingdom.
It's a small thing, a piece of cake.
Seeing that Su Lin agreed, He Zhiran was also very happy. He said "wait a moment" and walked away.
As a result, within a few minutes, he led a man and a woman over.
The woman was holding a little baby in her arms.
Su Lin was puzzled.
Why are you so excited to bring your baby to the auction?
What he didn't know was that this was He Zhiran's idea, specifically telling them to take their children with them.
Walking up to him, He Zhiran smiled and said, "Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Zheng Yongxin, and this is his wife, Ms. Qin Zhixiu."
He Zhiran solemnly introduced: "Mr. Zheng, this is the Su Lin I'm talking about, Master Su!"
"Hello, Master Su!"
Zheng Yongxin nodded with a smile, but there was a hint of doubt in his eyes, obviously because of Su Lin's age.
Su Lin didn't care either, it was a fact that he was young.
"Master Su, I have admired my name for a long time, and I hope to give my son a name."
Zheng Yongwen said in a sultry tone, while bowing slightly, showing the demeanor of an ancient scholar.
It's just that the Mandarin is not very standard, and it smells like a foreigner.
But considering that he has lived in Yingjiang since he was a child, it is not bad that he can speak Mandarin to this level.
Qin Zhixiu took two steps forward with her son in her arms.
Su Lin took a look and saw a white and tender baby lying in the swaddling clothes. He was only about four or five months old. He didn't cry or fuss. He looked at Su Lin with big clear eyes and smiled.
"Wow, what a cute little Beibi." David wandered over again out of nowhere.
Little babies are really beautiful.
Su Lin asked the child's date of birth, looked at his face, and said with a smile: "The baby is safe and sound, but the five elements are missing wood, so why not call him Zheng Mu."
"Zheng Mu?"
Zheng Yongxin and his wife's eyes lit up. Don't tell me, this name is really elegant.
Su Lin continued: "Well, in terms of words, it's called Helin."
In ancient times, when Feng Shui masters named people, they would always name people together with the name. Su Lin naturally had to follow the ancient custom when naming someone for the first time.
"Zheng Mu, named Helin, is like a spring breeze, there are cranes in the forest, a good name, a good name!"
Zheng Yongxin applauded the performance and couldn't help being happy.
When Su Lin heard this, he was a little surprised.
The word "Helin" comes from a sentence in the Book of Songs "Bai Hua": There are eagles in the beams and cranes in the woods. Weibi Shuo people really help my heart.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Yongxin actually knew the source. It seemed that he really understood the Dragon Kingdom culture in detail.
Although He Zhiran didn't know the meaning of the name, he knew it was a good name, and he immediately gave it a high-five.
David next to him murmured the name twice, and then asked in confusion: "Su, didn't you say that Xiaobeibi's Five Elements lacked wood? Why did you name it Sandianshui again?"
Su Lin didn't expect David to know the Five Elements and that Mu was three points of water. He was really impressed by him.
"The five elements are mutually reinforcing. Within the five elements, a lonely tree cannot make a forest. Only when it meets water can good trees grow, which is in line with the five elements."
Su Lin briefly explained the principle of the five elements' mutual development.
"That's it!" David nodded, not sure whether he really understood or pretended to understand.
Su Lin guessed it was the latter. The two antiques this guy bought were both fakes. It was obvious that he was half-baked.
"Since everyone is so happy today, it wouldn't be appropriate if I didn't give you some kind of greeting gift. So, I'll give this machete to the little baby as a greeting gift."
David was also happy and actually wanted to give the scimitar to Zheng Mu.
Su Lin was stunned, touched his forehead and looked at David speechlessly.
Didn't you just spend millions on this scimitar? Are you going to give it away?
Zheng Yongxin and his wife thought David was Su Lin's friend, so they quickly said, "No, no, this is too expensive."
"Hey, it's nothing valuable, just an antique worth millions, right? It's okay!" David took the machete and stuffed it into Zheng Yongxin's arms.
As a result, Zheng Yongxin couldn't answer the question or not, so he could only look at Su Lin for help.
Su Lin was completely speechless and couldn't help but said: "Okay, don't offer the treasure. I told you a long time ago that it is a fake."
Zheng Yongxin and his wife were stunned and looked at the scimitar.
David rolled his eyes and was about to speak when he heard a voice coming from behind:
"Sir, how can you conclude that my lion-head scimitar is a fake?"
