He Ren looked at his thigh happily, and then he felt a pain in his foot. He looked up and found Zhang Nuo looking at him with a bright smile.
"Does it look good?"
"Good looking. Ouch!"
He Ren couldn't help but screamed out. Zhang Nuo kicked him again, almost breaking the foot of He Ren...
"I said yes, the cheongsams are beautiful. They are all serious Su-style cheongsams. The boss here is really generous."
"Huh?" Zhang Nuo glanced at He Ren suspiciously, "Are you really looking at the cheongsam?"
"Is it still fake?" He Ren looked upright, "The waist, the round neck, the left and right plackets... Look at the embroidery on it, it's still themed plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum."
Zhang Nuo looked carefully and found that it was exactly what He Ren said, and then he apologized, "It didn't hurt, did it?"
"It hurts, why doesn't it hurt? You really don't understand me. Am I the kind of person who can't walk when I see a beautiful woman?"
He Ren said it was righteous, but in his heart he said it was a fluke. If he hadn't read the history of the development of cheongsam some time ago, he would really not be able to fool him today...
However, this matter could not withstand scrutiny. He Ren looked around and was about to change the topic. Unexpectedly, the topic came up by itself because He Ren saw Zhou Wei.
Zhou Wei followed a young man with a fat head and big ears, who seemed to be attending the auction.
The fat guy's eyes lit up as soon as he saw Chen Zheng and Xu Qingjie. He immediately walked quickly towards them and took Xu Qingjie's hand.
"Master Xu, Master Chen, long time no see, how many of you are here to play too?"
Xu Qingjie pulled out his hand without leaving a trace and nodded casually. Chen Zheng was not as polite as him, "I said, Fatty Qian, your question is not good enough. How can we still come here to inspect?"
"Uh..." The guy called Fatty Qian laughed awkwardly, "What Mr. Chen is teaching you is that the auction won't start for a while, should we go sit next to it first?"
"No need." Chen Zheng yawned, "We already have enough people, so I won't accompany you."
Fatty Qian laughed a few times before leaving with Zhou Wei and his female companion.
Zhou Wei, on the other hand, had been standing reservedly beside Fatty Qian, saying nothing except looking at He Ren with a hint of resentment in his eyes.
Even He Ren gave him a friendly nod and he didn't respond. He Ren couldn't help but curse, Zhou Wei's structure is really small!
After thinking about it carefully, He Ren felt relieved. He defeated Zhou Wei in the live broadcast, and also won his agarwood bracelet, which also embarrassed Zhou Wei and his master Wang Yan...
It can indeed be considered a deep hatred...
He Ren is still more concerned about what Zhou Wei is here to do. It seems that he should be similar to himself and come here to be an expert.
"Who is this person? Is he in the same circle as you?"
Chen Zheng was unhappy, "Is he worthy? He's just the son of a nouveau riche."
Xu Qingjie explained, "His name is Qian Xingchang. He is a land speculator. His uncle is a minor official. He has always wanted to make friends with us, but we are reluctant to talk to him."
"Little official? What little official?"
"Oh, the deputy governor of the next province."
He Ren calls him a good guy. Is the deputy governor considered a minor official? It can only be said that he doesn't understand much about the second generation circle. However, He Ren also got a piece of information. He had always thought that Xu Qingjie was just an ordinary rich second generation. From this look, someone in his family should be an official, and his position was not low.
Xu Qingjie guessed what He Ren was thinking and said with a smile, "Boss Chen and I are in business, so don't think nonsense."
How can He Ren stop thinking nonsense...
While several people were chatting, a man in a suit walked over quickly and said, "Young Master Xu, Young Master Chen, the private rooms have been arranged for you two. Do you want to go play a few games first?"
Xu Qingjie immediately refused, "We have guests today, so we won't go. We'll walk around the hall and go upstairs later."
The man in the suit nodded repeatedly, picked up the walkie-talkie and said a few words, then put on a smile, "If you have any requests, just ask, I will be in the lobby."
Chen Zheng waved his hand impatiently. The man in the suit was very eye-catching and left immediately. He Ren became curious again, "What private room? What about two games?"
"Poker, baccarat, blackjack, stud...you can play whatever you want."
"Well……"
He Ren has always been indifferent to these things. As the saying goes, nine out of ten gambles are cheats. Gambling is worse than laying landmines. Even losing one's fortune is considered a good thing...
There was actually no entertainment in the hall. A few people found a seat in the corner to drink tea and chat. After about an hour, a man in a suit came over to remind them that the auction had begun.
Several people followed the man in the suit onto the elevator and walked into a small auditorium. There were not too many people inside. He Ren visually judged that there were about twenty or thirty people. At a glance, He Ren knew that there were seven groups of people coming to the auction today. , including them, there are eight groups.
Qian Xingchang and Zhou Wei sat in the third row, while the man in the suit took Chen Zheng and Xu Qingjie to the first row. It seemed that Chen Zheng had the highest status.
He Ren had just sat down when he heard Chen Zheng complain, "The big-mouthed monkey is here too. If I had known I wouldn't have come, it would be bad luck."
He Ren looked curious, there was some gossip.
As Chen Zheng's bad friend, Xu Qingjie naturally wanted to undermine him, "The big-mouthed monkey's surname is Diao. When we were young, we were in the same hospital. He and Mr. Chen never dealt with each other. Last month, Mr. Chen even suffered a small loss."
"What's the loss?"
Before Xu Qingjie spoke, Chen Zheng was unhappy, "Xu Ergou, if you dare to speak, don't blame me for falling out with you."
Xu Qingjie had already turned his back, "Chen Gangdan, what did you call me?"
He Ren really hoped that the two of them would fight. He had heard a lot of gossip, but the two of them snorted and turned their heads to the side. It seemed that they both had "dirty information" about the other party.
At this moment, a beautiful woman walked onto the small stage in front. She said with a smile, "Welcome to today's auction. Today is a special auction for calligraphy and painting. I won't say any more. Please take the first lot."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone came up carrying a picture of ink bamboo.
Xu Qingjie and Chen Zheng no longer cared about being angry, and focused on the paintings in front of them.
He Ren was also observing. There were a total of five bamboos in the painting, with thin branches and thick leaves, and different heights. The style of the painting was vigorous, fresh and graceful, and it looked familiar.
Looking carefully, there are four seals on it, namely Zheng Xie's seal, Weiyi Chang, Bingchen Jinshi and Olive Xuan. He Ren was shocked and his eyes widened, "Zheng Banqiao?"
These four seals all belong to Zheng Banqiao, not to mention Zheng Xie. Wei Yichang is Zheng Banqiao's nickname. He served as county magistrate in Fan County for five years and was later transferred to Wei County. Shandong is also known as the land of Dongyi, and Zheng Banqiao calls himself Weiyi Chang.
Bingchen Jinshi is also the nickname of Zheng Banqiao. He was a scholar of Kangxi, a scholar of Yongzheng, and a Jinshi of Qianlong. The year he was admitted to the Jinshi happened to be the year of Bingchen and the first year of Qianlong.
As for Olive Xuan, Zheng Banqiao used it as a metaphor. Olives are bitter and astringent, but the aftertaste is fragrant and sweet. Zheng Banqiao's meaning is that although creation is bitter, there is joy in the bitterness, and it is impossible to understand the taste without chewing.
Chen Zheng and Xu Qingjie also saw these four seals. They recognized Zheng Xie. Chen Zheng asked, "Mozhu, there is also Zheng Banqiao's seal. Is it true?"
He Ren looked at it carefully again. He always felt that there was something wrong, like a pirated copy...
