I saw Qiu Nuo again at the auction. Chu Tianci almost forgot this person because of Fang Yanan's affairs. Last time, Qiu Nuo apologized to himself at the door of the police station because he was thinking about the red line on Fang Yanan's head at that time, but he didn't pay much attention to her.

Now that I think about it, Chu Tianci feels a little sad. Last time I saw her identifying cultural relics in Qingyang Palace, she was so experienced and skillful, which was completely inconsistent with her age. She had some good feelings for Qiu Nuo, but she felt that she was too arrogant and indifferent, giving people a feeling that it was not easy to get close to.

Like a hedgehog, she could see from her eyes that she didn't have much sense of security for anyone or anything. Anyone who approached her would subconsciously open the spikes all over her body to guard against herself.

"What are you looking at?" Yue Qianling found Chu Tianci sitting beside her looking absent-mindedly.

"I saw Qiu Nuo and wondered whether to say hello to her." Chu Tianci looked ahead and said.

When Yue Qianling heard this, she immediately lowered her face and said sarcastically.

"Did you lose control when you see a girl? If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have gone to the police station. If you didn't go to the police station, you wouldn't have met Fang Yanan, you wouldn't have met..."

"Haha, I just want to go over and say hello. I ignored her at the police station last time and felt a little sorry. What place did you think of?" Chu Tianci turned his head and said with a wry smile.

"Sit honestly, don't think about anything, don't forget what your purpose is today."

I originally planned to go to Qingcheng Mountain after Xiao Lianshan came back together. Xiao Lianshan came back, but Gu Anqi thought that something was delayed and would delay the return for a few days. Xiao Lianshan was distracted and did nothing at home, so he insisted that Yue Qianling took him out for a walk.

It just so happened that the auction house invited Professor Jiang from the Institute of Archaeology to be a guest and attended an auction. Professor Jiang couldn't leave if he had something to do, so he asked Yue Qianling to attend on behalf of him. Yue Qianling was completely a layman in the appreciation of antiques. He was afraid that he would embarrass the Institute of Archaeology, so he happened to have Chu Tianci around him, and without waiting for his consent, he pulled Chu Tianci here.

Chu Tianci doesn't like too many people, and always feels very reserved. Besides, the people sitting in front and behind are all looking like treasures and wealthy. Not many people who really like antiques. They are all nouveau riche who want to buy a few antiques and go back to improve their grades.

"The first auction item, the late Qing Dynasty alum red Zhongkui snuff bottle, the starting price is 1,000 yuan, and the price is 500 yuan each time!"

The auctioneer announced the start of the auction. Yue Qianling saw that many people raised their signs and asked in a low voice.

"How do you think of this object?"

"The paintings are delicate and sophisticated, and the characters are vivid and vivid. They are not too long and have certain collection value." Chu Tianci said carelessly.

"Brother, how much does this thing cost?" Xiao Lianshan asked boredly.

"After all, it's a small piece, and the material is not expensive. The starting price is inflated, and it costs 1,000 yuan. Such things are at most three or four hundred."

"Three or four hundred?" Xiao Lianshan was stunned for a moment, and saw the person holding a sign at the place and said blankly. "I thought the people who came here were experts, and it turned out that they were not much better than me."

"Haha, this thing is caught in the ghost market, and it is only 30 or 50 yuan to be released in the ghost market." Chu Tianci said with a smile.

"This is called packaging. The goods sold in the ghost market cannot be sold because there is no packaging." Yue Qianling said disdainfully. "The auction is so regular, and every antique has a dedicated appraisal to ensure that the goods are genuine and have certificates. Of course, the things sold here are expensive."

"Take it down, only a group of people who don't know how to pretend to be a good player come here." Xiao Lianshan glanced at the people beside him and said sarcastically.

The first few collections were insignificant. Yue Qianling urged Chu Tianci to explain each one to him. Chu Tianci was as clear as his family. A middle-aged man in the front row looked back from time to time, which made Chu Tianci very embarrassed.

"My friend, my name is Zhao Bin. You know, you know very well. I also want to buy a few items back, but I don't understand. Otherwise, you can give me a reference and give me a reward." Zhao Bin turned around and smiled and said in a low voice.

"Haha, I'm just talking casually. What kind of antiques do you want to buy? If you see the right one, I'll tell you." Chu Tianci smiled slightly and said kindly.

"This doesn't matter. As long as it is real and has collection value, it's fine." Zhao Bin smiled politely and handed a stack of money in his hand, which looked like it was hundreds of dollars.

Chu Tianci quickly pushed Zhao Bin's hand back.

"I really don't need to give me this. Since you like it, I'll remind you when you see the right one."

Zhao Bin stubbornly insisted on stuffing it into Chu Tianci's hand. Yue Qianling saw the two of them push and send it out. If this continues, others thought they were fighting. Several people looked here, and Yue Qianling took the money from the middle-aged man.

"You...how can you collect money from others casually?" Chu Tianci glared at Yue Qianling.

"If you don't charge him, he will feel uneasy. Most of the people here are businessmen. They believe in more money than people. If you collect his money, he thinks you will help him wholeheartedly. If you don't charge him, he will feel unsure, but instead thinks you are dealing with him."

Chu Tianci Ben sneered at the remarks that Yue Qianling said, but when he saw Zhao Bin's satisfied smile, he still believed it. After all, he was a businessman and if he had common interests, he would definitely have friends.

"The fifth collection, "Twelve Wisdoms" in the Tang Dynasty, starts at 20,000 yuan, and each bid is 2,000 yuan."

Chu Tianci raised his lips and said with a faint smile.

"There are actually the original works of Yan Lide, and I didn't expect to see them here."

"Why, is this painting very good?" Yue Qianling asked curiously when she looked at the painting on the stage. "I haven't heard of this person before."

"I have never heard of it even Yan Lide. You are still archaeological. Zhaoling was designed by him. Do you think he is powerful?" Chu Tianci said with a wry smile.

"Brother, this man is repairing a house and comes to paint. You are not saying that he has specialized in his profession. He is repairing the best paintings in the house, and the best house in the painting." Xiao Lianshan said with a smile on his own.

"Yan Lide was an architect, arts and crafts artist and painter in the Tang Dynasty. He was born in an engineering family. During the reign of Wude of the Tang Dynasty, he served as Shangyi and a sergeant. He was the young craftsman and a master craftsman. He was finally appointed as the Minister of Works. He was ordered to build the mountain tomb of Emperor Gaozu of Tang, supervise the construction of Cuiwei and Yuhua palaces, build Zhaoling, and preside over the construction of the outer walls and city towers of Chang'an City in Tang Dynasty. He had a profound attainment in craftsmanship and painting. He was in charge of designing the clothing used by the emperor and empress, and his paintings were known for his figures, trees, stones, and animals." Chu Tianci leaned his head and explained in a low voice.

"I think you really appreciate this Yan Lide, but I have never heard of any famous paintings he has passed down from generation to generation." Yue Qianling nodded and asked in confusion.

"Haha, because he lives in the shadow of his brother, others don't pay much attention to him."

"His brother? Who is his brother?"

"Yan Liben, who was known as the "deified painting of painting" and was the best in the world and has an important position in the history of painting, has his works including "Judgment Tu" and "Xiao Yizhuan Lanting Tu". His works have been highly praised by the world and were listed as gods by people at that time." Chu Tianci said calmly.

"Oh, I'll know if you say that. "The Map of the Seal of the Emperor" and "The Map of the Ancient Emperor" are all famous paintings. No wonder Yan Lide is not very famous. It is indeed difficult for a younger brother like this to surpass him." Yue Qianling suddenly realized.

"You can't say that. Yan Lide is just a very high level of architecture, which makes people ignore his achievements in painting. Looking at this "Twelve Sages" you will know that the lines are strong and powerful, the spirit is as bright as a living, the colors are elegant and calm, the brushstrokes are more meticulous than Gu Kaizhi's, and the characters are portrayed in detail, which is even better than Yan Liben's "Eighteen Bachelors of Qin Mansion".

Zhao Bin asked happily after listening to Chu Tianci's explanation in front.

"I heard you say that, this painting is very valuable for collection?"

Chu Tianci nodded and said with a smile.

"If you like to collect, this "Twelve Sages" is definitely a good choice."

Zhao Bin saw Chu Tianci’s words so sure, and the brand that Chu Tianci just said was conclusive and raised his hand without thinking. The painting with a minimum price of 20,000 yuan just now had turned into 38,000 yuan in a short while.

Seeing that there were so many people who raised the price, Zhao Bin didn’t have much confidence and turned around and asked again.

"My friend, you can estimate the price. How much is this painting worth is more cost-effective."

"This... I'm really hard to say. I only know how good or bad things are. As for how much they are worth, I really don't know." Chu Tianci smiled apologetically and said calmly. "Everything is something that everyone likes. If you don't like, you will think it's worthless. If you like it, you can spend a lot of money."

As soon as Chu Tianci finished speaking, Zhao Bin gritted his teeth and held the sign and shouted loudly.

"fifty thousand!"

The price increase is only 2,000 yuan per price, and Zhao Bin actually increased the price from 38,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan at one time, which is obviously a must-have setup.

Zhao Bin's strategy is correct. According to the price increase of 2,000 yuan at a time, I don't know what price this painting will be raised to. It can not only scare some people away, but also demonstrate its own strength.

Zhao Bin's approach seems to be abrupt, but in fact he saved a lot of money. Even Chu Tianci had to admire the unique thinking of a businessman.

Everyone's eyes were gathered on Zhao Bin.

When Chu Tianci looked up, he saw Qiu Nuo looking at him, and he nodded and smiled faintly at him. Qiu Nuo gave people a very cold feeling. Although he had only seen her twice, this was the first time he saw her smiling. He never noticed that Qiu Nuo looked particularly good when he smiled.

Chu Tianci also nodded and smiled. Everything fell into Yue Qianling's eyes and turned into an inexplicable resentment. Chu Tianci didn't notice her increasingly gloomy face at all.

It was not until Chu Tianci almost shouted out in pain that he lowered his head and saw Yue Qianling's high heels stomping on his feet.
