After hearing this, the girl raised her nose and smelled the aroma of tea in the room, then walked to the table and sat down, picked up the celadon bowl in front of her, took a sip, and murmured: "This White Tiger Satin Jade tastes just right." That’s what happened!”
Then, she put down the tea bowl and glanced at the table. She saw a total of 16 white porcelain plates of various sizes placed on the table, including four cold dishes, four hot dishes, four desserts, and four staple dishes.
The girl casually picked up a piece of pastry and put it into her mouth, chewed it for a while and said, "What the hell is this Tianxing Tower...why does everything taste so bad?"
Mr. Xu watched quietly from the side and did not speak.
At this time, a crisp gong sound suddenly came from the originally noisy downstairs, "Bang"!
After the gong sounded, the entire Tianxing Tower suddenly became extremely quiet.
Xu Erye sat down slowly and took a sip of tea. From this angle, he could see the situation on the stage on the first floor of Tianxing Tower, but from below or from other angles, he could not see anything in Xu Erye's private room. Case.
Not long after the gong fell, an old man wearing a long coat walked slowly onto the stage. This old man was probably around sixty or seventy years old. He had silver hair and was thin, but his back was unusually straight. , just looking at his body shape, you can’t tell that he is an ancient man.
After the old man walked onto the stage, he said loudly: "Thank you all for coming to our Tianxing Tower today. Today is also a big day for our Tianxing Tower every year. You have been to our Tianxing Tower before, and of course it is the first time for you to come to our Tianxing Tower. There are those who have done business with us, and of course there are those who have not done business with our Tianxing Building. So, don’t dislike my nagging, old man, I am repeating our rules today. Tianxing Building, everything is done openly. You can bid according to your own wishes for the items you like, and the one with the highest price will get it. Anyone who has made a deal with our Tianxing Building will have food, clothing, housing and transportation for the next week, as long as it is in Tianxing Building, we will It’s guaranteed, you don’t have to spend a penny!”
As soon as the old man said these words, there was a burst of applause, and a few people even shouted "Hello".
Hearing the sound, the corners of the old man's mouth rose slightly, and then he waved his hand, indicating to those who applauded to lower their voices appropriately, and then continued: "Without further ado, our Tianxing Tower has a total of twelve items for bidding today. The first Like this, it's a landscape painting from the Tang Dynasty..."
Before the old man finished speaking, two graceful girls came up holding a framed landscape painting.
The content of this painting is not complicated. It is an old man sitting on a stone fishing, with a cow standing behind him, a bird sitting on the cow's head, and a high mountain behind.
This painting looks ordinary, but as soon as it appeared on the stage, there was an uproar under the stage. The girl next to Mr. Xu couldn't help but gasped, and the half-bitten pastry even fell off. She didn't notice any of it.
Mr. Xu didn't look at the girl, but asked calmly: "What? Do you know this painting?"
The girl nodded and said, "Well! I'm just here for it!"
Mr. Xu was a little curious and said, "Oh? So you know its origin?"
The girl glanced at Mr. Xu and said, "They say I came here for this painting... and you still ask that, am I saying you are old and confused?"
When Mr. Xu heard her talking about him like this, he wasn't angry. Instead, he asked, "Do you need me to take a photo of it for you?"
The girl glanced at Mr. Xu and said calmly: "Of course! I have no money, but if you help me take a picture, I can do something for you." 33
Having said this, the girl paused for a moment, tilted her body slightly toward Mr. Xu, and then said in an extremely provocative tone: "I am willing to do anything..."
Mr. Xu smiled slightly when he heard this, then took a sip of tea and said, "Very good! This is what I've been waiting for!"
When the girl heard Mr. Xu agreeing so readily, not only did she not show any expression of joy, but she sighed and sat back on the chair, sighing: "Sure enough, men are all the same. No matter how old they are, they think with their lower body. of."
Mr. Xu did not defend himself when the girl said this, but slowly raised his hand and said loudly to the stage below: "I want this painting... 20 million!"
Hearing the price of "20 million", the whole lobby of Tianxing Tower exploded instantly. Everyone started to look up at the box where Mr. Xu was sitting. Some even whispered in a low voice: "If you have money, People are willful! Although this is true from the Tang Dynasty, this painter is not a famous person..."
"Yes!" Another person echoed from the side: "I guess the person upstairs doesn't know much about it. He is probably a layman. He bid so high when he heard that it was a painting from the Tang Dynasty."
A big fat man next to him stuffed a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake into his mouth and said, "You two are absolutely right! Look at the painter of this painting. He is not very good at it. He can only be regarded as a third-rate painter at most. According to the If we estimate the market price, I think it is only 200,000 at most at the moment, but now the person upstairs actually bids 20 million, which is a 100 times increase."
"According to me, this time..." A dark-faced man sighed: "This time, Tianxing Tower is getting an advantage! We met such a big bully when we came up!"
In fact, not only those people downstairs were surprised, but also the girl sitting next to Uncle Xu was stunned. She grabbed Uncle Xu's arm and said in a deep voice: "Old man, are you crazy? Do you know how much this painting is worth? Money? It..."
Uncle Xu smiled and patted the girl's hand, and said: "Of course I know that this painting is only worth 200,000 at most. Not only that, I can also see that this painting has been cropped. The original painting "The Picture of Mountains and Rivers of Prospering Longevity" was cut into three equal parts, and this is only one part of it."
The girl was stunned, looked at Uncle Xu and said, "Do you know about it?"
Uncle Xu nodded slightly and said: "Of course I know about it. Not only that, I also know that one part of it may be in you. And the other part..."
The girl didn't wait for Uncle Xu to finish, then asked, "Do you know the whereabouts of the other son?"
Uncle Xu nodded slightly and said, "Of course! Are those three copies in my hand?"
The girl was startled and said quickly: "What? Is the third portion in your hand?"
Uncle Xu smiled and said, "Don't be so surprised! If you want it, I can actually give you the third copy!"
The girl was stunned and said, "What are you giving me?"
Some people died, but not completely...
