Professor Li's words completely aroused my curiosity. I took a sip of tea, then leaned over and asked, "I said Professor Li, how do you know?"
Professor Li smiled slightly mysteriously and was about to speak when he suddenly heard the sound of a gong on the stage downstairs.
I looked sideways downstairs and saw a strong man two meters away standing in the center of the stage holding an oversized gong.
And behind him stood a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes.
The beautiful woman looked at the audience with a smile, and said in a slightly "wow" tone: "Okay! That's it for today's auction. Thank you all for coming. You can come later. Go outside and get another gift of your own, which our Juxing Tower specially prepared for you. Thank you again for coming."
This beautiful woman speaks with a voice just like Lin Chiling, and every word seems to make people's bones crisp.
Although Juxing Tower is not as domineering as Gui Shi Zhen Pinzhai, it still has a high status in the world. Although the people in the audience are still a little unsatisfied, a few guys who did not buy what they want even complained loudly, but It's just a complaint.
In the end, they left happily.
I saw that people on the ground floor were starting to leave one after another, so I stood up, stretched and said, "Today's play is over, shouldn't we leave too?"
Professor Li glanced at me sideways and said, "Who said the play was over?"
I looked at Professor Li and said "Oh" and asked, "This is already a spoiler. Isn't the drama over yet?"
Professor Li did not speak, because at this moment there was a sudden knock on the door of our private room.
"Dangdangdang..."
After three crisp knocks on the door, the girl who secretly stuffed me a note before opened the door and walked in.
After entering the door, the girl said softly: "Mr. Li, it's almost time. Lord Marquis, please move to Juyi Hall."
Professor Li stood up and said, "Okay!"
After saying that, he turned to look at me and said, "Xiao Hu, the show has just begun." Then, Professor Li turned around without any politeness and strode out of the private room.
I watched Professor Li stride out and turned to look at Hua Muling beside me.
At this time, Hua Muling was also looking at me, her eyes full of doubts.
I didn't say anything, but I heard the girl next to me say softly with a smile: "Master Hou has given instructions. Although it is your first time here, you are not qualified to enter the Juyi Hall, but the rules are strict. People are alive. Since you two are friends brought by Mr. Li, please go to Juyi Hall together."
I heard what the girl said, so I sighed and said: "Since your Lord Marquis said so, as the saying goes, hospitality is hard to deny, I also want to experience the charm of Juyi Hall in Juxing Tower. So. , please also ask the girl to lead the way."
After saying that, I made a gesture of please.
The girl pursed her lips and smiled, then gave me a Wanfu gift and replied: "Please come to me!"
The decoration of Juyi Hall is very particular. The first thing you see is a wooden screen.
Most of these screens are called curved screens. First produced in the Western Zhou Dynasty, they became popular in the Han Dynasty. Most of them are practical and are often used as temporary partitions or shelters.
I took a look and found that the screen had an odd number of fans. The middle one was larger, and the two sides were symmetrical. The fans were connected with horse pins, and the sides were decorated with standing teeth, and a screen cap was placed on the top. Wood carving artists are accustomed to calling it a "floor-to-ceiling screen". Traditionally, it is often carved on both sides, and rarely on only one side.
In addition, although the wood of this screen is not a rare wood, the overall color still emits a black-red color, which is obviously a long time ago from the modern era.
After bypassing the wooden screen, you can have a panoramic view of the Juyi Hall.
Juyi Hall, although it is called the Hall, is actually much larger than the Hall.
There are more than a dozen calligraphy and paintings hanging on both sides of the Juyi Hall. Although I can't name them one by one, I can be sure that any calligraphy and painting in it will be enough to cause a sensation in the entire antique world if it is put on the market.
In addition, there are no less than thirty pieces of porcelain placed in this Juyi Hall, among which there are no less than ten national treasure-level objects, such as the Qianlong pink celadon glazed relief banana leaves with hollow intertwining branches and flower patterns and blue and white inside. Hexagonal vase set, Qianlong blue and white tangled branches, flowers and dragons and phoenixes competing for pearls, double dragon ears flat pot, Ming Yongle blue and white pier bowl with broken branches, flowers and fruits, Ming Xuande blue and white cloud and dragon pattern sunflower mouth wash, Qianlong pastel imitation enamel lotus pond waterfowl pattern lid jar... …
These national treasure-level porcelains were thrown into a corner of the Juyi Hall like broken bottles and bowls.
However, compared with these astonishing objects, what attracts me most about this Juyi Hall is the calligraphy in the middle.
The calligraphy was placed behind the seat, hanging high in the air, with a big word "wealth" written on it.
And the reason why I noticed this word is because it is special enough and especially ugly.
It's so ugly that it looks like it was written by a three-year-old child's foot.
But it happened that this picture was hung in the most upright and obvious position in the Juyi Hall.
It took me a while to move my eyes away from the extremely ugly word "cai".
I moved my eyes downward and noticed that there were ten chairs in total in the hall, two wooden chairs in front of me, and the rest were placed on the left and right.
There were two people sitting on the two chairs in the middle, a man and a woman, one young and beautiful, and the other an old man.
He lowered his head and saw three men and one woman sitting on the left, three men with oily faces and slightly greasy and wretched faces, and a charming woman.
There are three empty seats on the right, and Professor Li sits on the last chair on the right.
Seeing Hua Muling and I walking in, the old man sitting with his hands on his back suddenly said, "You must be the two young men that my brother Li mentioned?"
The old man is not from the capital, and he speaks with an accent from the southern coastal areas. However, he seems to want to pretend that he is an authentic capital person, so his words always sound strange.
Seeing the old man speaking, I took a step forward and glanced at Professor Li.
Professor Li didn't look at me, he just stared at the celadon bowl in his hand and carefully blew air into it, as if the most important thing to him at this time was the cup of tea in his hand.
I saw that Professor Li didn't even look at me, so I could only smile slightly and said: "May I ask your Excellency...?"
The old man smiled and said: "I'm just an unknown person, so don't mention it. Hurry up and sit down!"
Seeing that they were unwilling to mention my name, I didn't want to ask any more questions, so I just kept going and pulled Hua Muling to sit on the chair next to Professor Li.
After sitting down, two girls walked in from the outer room immediately, each holding a cup of tea in their hands.
The aroma of tea overflowed, filling the whole room in an instant.
I took the tea and took a sip, and couldn't help but sigh, "Good tea." But at this moment, I suddenly found that the woman sitting opposite me had been looking at me intently.
I saw this woman dressed in black, black clothes, black skirt, black shoes... and a pair of black stockings that most men can't stand.
This woman's figure is not slim, she is slightly fat.
But she chose a skirt that was a little tight.
The cut and design of the skirt are very good, and it looks like it is from a famous brand. It highlights her voluptuous figure, which is particularly attractive.
Looking at this woman's face, the eyes, ears, mouth and nose are not beautiful and delicate, but when placed on this woman's face, they have a very special charm.
The woman was looking at me, and I was looking at her.
None of us spoke, because just when I was about to speak, a man walked in from outside.
This is a sloppy drunkard, but his designer suit makes him look like he is wearing a street stall. He stumbles while walking, but he is carrying a bottle of Romanee-Conti worth 80,000 yuan in his hand.
The drunk man obviously drank a lot. After entering the room, he went straight to the empty chair next to me.
After sitting down, the drunk man smiled at me, and then snored.
The old man who was sitting shook his head helplessly when he saw this, called a young girl, and whispered a few words in her ear.
The young girl understood, nodded her head, bowed deeply to the old man and the girl who was sitting, and then stepped back.
After the old man arranged everything, he cleared his throat and said, "Since everyone is here, let's start now!"
Before the old man finished speaking, two big men walked in from outside the Juyi Hall, each holding a small wooden box in their hands.
The wooden box is antique, one black and one yellow. No need to ask, it is an old thing at first glance.
The two strong men strode to the center of the Juyi Hall. Without waiting for the old man to speak, the two men raised their hands and opened the wooden box in their hands.
What surprised me was that what was contained in this wooden box was not any antique calligraphy and painting, but an antique knife and a glass bottle.
I looked at the contents of the wooden box, but the other people all looked at me.
I wondered, "Why are they looking at me so closely? Are they waiting for me to bid? What can I do if I buy this knife and a bottle?"
Before I could figure out what was going on, the next second the two strong men suddenly appeared behind me, and each of them grabbed my and Hua Muling's hands with one arm.
We were both startled almost at the same time. I flicked my wrist away from the big man behind me, then turned around and raised my arm to punch him behind me.
But at this moment, a black muzzle appeared in front of me.
The gun was naturally in the hands of the strong man, and the strong man said in a deep voice: "If I were you, I would definitely not mess around!"
The dark muzzle is full of oppression, but I am not someone who will be easily frightened.
I gritted my teeth and said loudly: "What are you doing? Is this the way you treat guests at Juxing Tower? Or..."
I wanted to yell, but who would have thought that before I could finish my words, the woman who had been looking at me suddenly said, "Five million! He is mine!"
Although this woman kept looking at me, her words were obviously not meant for me, but for the old man and the young man sitting there.
"Damn it! It turns out that Professor Li brought us here to sell us two as goods!" I cursed in my heart and turned to look at Professor Li beside me.
Professor Li didn't look at me. He was still drinking the big bowl of tea in his hand with his head lowered.
The more I looked at that guy, the angrier I became, and I opened my mouth and cursed: "Grandma! We trust you so much, and you betrayed us!"
Professor Li took a sip of tea and said, "Betrayal? This is out of the question!"
I cursed: "You still want to fucking quibble?"
Professor Li still didn't look at me, and just said calmly: "We are just for each other's benefit. What I need is research expenses, and what you need are clues and the truth. It just so happens that here can give you clues and the truth, and it just so happens that you can Give me the funding I want, that’s it.”
I wanted to say something else, but as soon as the words came to my lips, I swallowed them back.
It's not that I didn't want to say it, it's just that before I could say anything, the strong man across from me punched me in the stomach.
The pain caused by the violent contraction of my stomach left me speechless.
I bent over in pain. At this moment, one of the men sitting opposite me suddenly said: "Sister Chen, I want to take him away for just five million. Isn't it a bit small? I'll pay eight million!"
