Chapter 26 Gift of Jade Talisman
He took a bus to the venue of this year's Zhenbao Travel Autumn Auction. Hu Xuanzong, who took out the ticket, took Liu Bo and followed Ming Xueli and Ming Ting to enter this tightly secure building. This year's autumn auction will be launched in this building.
Through Ming Xueli's introduction, Hu Xuanzong knew that the Zhen Treasure Auction House was not established for a long time, but it enjoyed a very high reputation in China. Compared with other auction houses who like to cheat, the Zhen Treasure Auction House dared to promise to pay tens of the fake one.
Once someone recognizes that the goods obtained from the auction are suspected of fraud, the treasure auction house will pay the bidder ten times the compensation. Some people have also thought this was publicity, but before that, some bidders did receive ten times the compensation.
After changing into a newly bought suit, Liu Bo looked much more elegant and said in a human form: "Sanlang, this place is very tall and elegant! Those who attended the auction tonight are probably all rich people, right?"
"It should be right! If you don't have money, how can you dare to participate in the auction?"
As a partner, Ming Xueli also gets a private room. In fact, in addition to being an appraiser at Yu Baozhai, Ming Xueli is also often invited by the treasure auction house to appraise the items sent by others.
In terms of porcelain appraisal in the Ming Dynasty, Ming Xueli was also a well-deserved expert and master in China. When he learned that he could sit in a private room to watch the auction, Hu Xuanzong naturally would not refuse. Compared with the auction hall, there were many private rooms built on the second floor.
Most of the distinguished guests who do not want to reveal their identities but want to participate in the auction will apply for a private room. In this case, the vast majority of people participating in the auction will not know who is bidding with them.
At auction, the higher the price will be!
Here, many times, only money and identity are discussed. Of course, those who are truly in power have favorite items, and I believe that someone will deliver them to them. Most of the customers who can sit in the private room are old customers of auction houses.
The female receptionist in charge of the reception said respectfully: "Mr. Ming, are you interested in taking action tonight?"
"Look, let's talk about it! There is no need to entertain here, you can go down!"
"Okay! Old Ruoming has any instructions, I'm at the door!"
After quitting the box respectfully, Liu Bo said enviously: "Old Ming, it seems that you have a high status here!"
"What's the status? I'm just an appraiser, that's all! Xuanzong, there are a lot of items tonight, and your kettle will probably be placed behind. If you have something you are interested in, you can also bid for the auction later."
"Look first, if you are interested, you might try it!"
After picking up the list of items sent by the waiter, Hu Xuanzong began to read them. When he found a item, Hu Xuanzong looked at it carefully and felt that the introduction of the items seemed to be a bit in detail.
To be precise, the experts responsible for identifying this item do not know the real purpose of this item. After looking at the starting price, Hu Xuanzong felt that the money in his pocket should not be enough. But after bidding, he should not have to pay immediately!
Anyway, the starting price of the kettle he gave was higher than the item in front of him. As long as the kettle was not failed to be sold, after paying the commission and personal income tax, the remaining money should be enough for Hu Xuanzong to pay the fee for this item.
Thinking of this, Hu Xuanzong also asked Ming Xueli for advice. In this regard, Ming Xueli said directly that the bidding items were delivered afterwards. For example, Hu Xuanzong, as long as the price of the items sold does not exceed the price.
As for the Ming blue and white pots that Hu Xuanzong gave him to take, it is unlikely that they will fail to take pictures. With Ming Xueli's explanation, Hu Xuanzong felt that at that time, he might be able to take pictures of this item, which would be considered another vacancy!
Taking advantage of the fact that the auction was still a little time before the auction began, Hu Xuanzong took out three jade talismans from his backpack and said, "Bozi, stretch out your hand! I will give you something, wear it close to you, and you will not be allowed to take it off when taking a shower!"
"What? Jade tags? I am a man, what do I do with this thing?"
Looking at the jade tokens taken out by Hu Xuanzong, Liu Bo shook his head and expressed his refusal. Yesterday, Hu Xuanzong bought these jade materials, and he personally participated in it and knew that the price was not cheap. He was embarrassed to accept such expensive things.
As if he was looking for excuses, Hu Xuanzong said directly: "Stop talking nonsense! Extend his hand! This is the jade talisman, the peace talisman I carved personally, which has the effect of exorcising evil spirits and calming the mind. If you dare to talk nonsense, you will really have no share!"
"I said it earlier! Why are you doing? Why are you still taking the needle? Ah! What are you doing if you stab me?"
Just as Liu Bo reached out to take the jade talisman, Hu Xuanzong, who was holding a silver needle in his hand, directly stabbed a needle on his finger. He squeezed out a drop of blood, ignored Liu Bo's ghost cry, and dripped it on the carved jade talisman.
As the blood soaked into the jade talisman, the runes on the jade talisman also seemed more agile. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hu Xuanzong also said cautiously: "Wear it closely! If you see the jade talisman cracking that day, remember to call me as soon as possible!"
"Okay! Is this jade talisman very precious?"
"What? Do you want to talk to me about money?"
"No! I just feel a little embarrassed!"
"Okay! Is this interesting between us? I just hope that you can be safe and less trouble, which is the greatest comfort to me. You don't have to worry about your hometown, I will take good care of your uncle and aunt for you.
But one thing is, remember to call your family more if you have nothing to do. After all, you are their own son, and you will be the one who will take care of them in the future. If you have any difficulties, don’t be polite, just call me!"
"If this happens, I won't be polite to you!"
"When did you say that you were like me!"
After complaining unhappily, Hu Xuanzong looked at Ming Xueli's grandparents and grandchildren, and said sincerely: "Mr. Ming, thank you for your respect for me. You helped me again when you went to Beijing this time, and these two jade talismans will be given to you.
Listen to me after I finish speaking. I must know the value of this jade talisman without saying that I must know it myself. For others, this talisman is hard to find. For me, this talisman is just a little gadget and is not worth a lot of money at all.
Those who are destined to me will not take any money but will give them. Those who are not destined to me will not even be able to get a jade talisman from me even if they bid tens of thousands of dollars. If you are willing to regard me as a friend, don’t say that extra, can you?”
Facing what Hu Xuanzong said, Ming Xueli smiled bitterly and said, "Mr., I really can't bear your generous gift!"
"Don't worry! In my opinion, you will definitely bear it! If you had not trusted me in the previous episode, I would not have received five million advances, so I would not be able to repair the Taoist temple that I had not practiced for many years. Yesterday I asked you to help myself, and I owe you a favor to repay.
To be honest, I also got an opportunity in Biyutang yesterday. If I hadn’t recommended you, maybe I wouldn’t have got this opportunity. You should know that I am a practitioner and don’t want to get too much cause and effect. Please accept this talisman!"
As far as this is concerned, what else can Ming Xueli say?
Helplessly, I could only say: "Then I am ashamed of taking the lead!"
When he handed the jade talisman to Mingting, Hu Xuanzong continued: "Mingting, when this talisman is given to you today, I will give you another sentence, hoping that you can keep it in mind. Before graduation, remember not to participate in any archaeological actions."
“Why?”
"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed! If you believe me, then remember what I said!"
"Thank you! I must keep it in mind!"
