If it’s based on luck, then there’s someone who can match this girl’s luck, right?
Zhao Xi was completely convinced.
Lan Xiao didn’t know what Zhao Xi was thinking.
She was just curious. The Zhao family and the SU family were both here, but why was there no one from the LAN family?
Especially in the previous few times, she didn’t see anyone from the LAN family come to buy gambling stones or useful Jade at the stone gambling market.
This was a little strange, and it made her struggle a little.
Lan Xiao followed LAN xingbo into the venue. The moment she entered, a few indifferent gazes shot towards her.
Naturally, mo fangyan cast her a look of jealousy.
Su yingxue’s gaze also had a hint of hostility, but she didn’t care.
However, brother Jiang’s gaze was ambiguous, and she did not dare to look back.
Wen Muchu was here, how could she dare to make eyes at another man?
Her desire to survive was off the charts, so she naturally wouldn’t do such a stupid thing.
Therefore, she ignored the different looks and followed LAN xingbo. She stood outside the crowd and looked up at the beginning of the party.
From afar, a round stage could be seen protruding out. An extremely sexy female host with very little cloth strips was standing on the round stage with a microphone.
Beside her was a square glass table that reached her waist.
There was an unknown object covered by a red cloth on the table.
The beautiful host smiled and gave a simple opening.
“Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I would like to welcome everyone who has come to this small charity party despite their busy schedules. Today, we’re going to auction some exquisite and beautiful crafts. We’ll donate the proceeds from the auction to poor mountainous areas, as well as nursing homes and hospitals in need of care. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for your strong support.”
“Sister, this standard is quite formal. They are all good people, aren’t they? it’s a good thing that they donated the money from the auction.” LAN xingbo’s eyes glowed as he said happily.
Lan Xiao rolled his eyes and shook his head at LAN xingbo.
Her brother was really innocent.
These people ran the black market, robbed graves and dug for antiques, and worked hard to earn black money. Who would be stupid enough to donate the money they earned with their lives?
All of this was just a pretense. Whoever believed it would be a fool.
This younger brother of his was not just a little stupid.
“Xingbo, you should be more careful.” Lan Xiao helplessly patted his shoulder.
Coming to the black market, he didn’t inquire about this information in advance and said these words like a fool. Fortunately, she heard it. Otherwise, if others heard it, wouldn’t they laugh their teeth off?
LAN xingbo didn’t realize what he had said wrong.
“Sister, what do you mean?”
Lan Xiao wanted to cry but had no tears. She could only explain it in a simple way.
“These words are just to fool those people who have just made their debut. Those people who do antiques, tomb raiding, and treasure digging all risked their lives to get these things. They exchanged their lives for these things, and now they’re going to auction them and donate them? What do they want after all that effort?”
LAN xingbo slapped his forehead in realization.
“Oh, I see.”
Lan Xiao chuckled at his silly look and pinched LAN xingbo’s cheek.
‘This kid is so cute when he’s confused.’
However, as soon as her hand went down, she felt a cold gaze shooting towards her.
Lan Xiao followed her gaze and saw that Wen Muchu was looking at her with a dark expression.
Lan Xiao was shocked and quickly let go of LAN xingbo’s hand. He didn’t dare to touch the opposite sex anymore, including a species called little brother.
His gaze carried a hint of warning. It was simply too terrifying.
She didn’t want the value that she had worked so hard to obtain by seducing others to drop sharply again.
If it was reduced any further, she would spit out a mouthful of blood and die from anger.
How many more kisses would she have to give him to get back that?
It would simply take her old life.
LAN xingbo rubbed his face and complained to Lan Xiao. He was already so old, yet she still pinched his face every day. It was too much.
Lan Xiao touched his nose in embarrassment. Alright, he had made her feel so bad.
On the beautiful host’s side, she asked someone to take off the red cloth covering the antique objects and raised the topic to her mouth.
let’s start the auction. The first item is a red-painted plate in the style of an Autumn Sunflower and a bird from the yuan Dynasty. The starting price is 500000 Yuan. Everyone has five minutes to appraise this treasure.
Generally speaking, the items sold in the black market were half-genuine and half-fake.
The black market’s items came from unknown sources. Some came from raw pits, some were stolen goods, and some were handicrafts that the organizers had bought from elsewhere to make up the numbers.
In short, whether it was real or fake, it was up to him to judge and distinguish it.
If one’s appraisal ability was strong enough, then when the crowd was not optimistic about it, they would be considered to have picked up a bargain.
If one didn’t know the truth and blindly followed the trend because of the high auction price, they would lose all their money if they won the auction at a high price.
In short, sometimes, when one was collecting items, if one did not have a pair of discerning eyes, the treasure that one bought could also be a fake.
……
The red cloth was lifted, and everyone saw a round red plate about 17.8 centimeters in diameter and 2.8 centimeters in height.
The red was tender and bright as new.
This item had two ribbon birds carved on it and an okra as the background.
There were many levels to pick, and the saber technique was thick and smooth.
This item immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
Many people gathered around and discussed.
“Why isn’t there a signature on this item? Look at the bottom of the chassis, it’s all black. There’s no sign of any Kasaya and the color is too bright. It doesn’t look real.”
yes, it’s not signed off, so I don’t know whose work it is. It’s hard to determine.
“It’s said that in the yuan Dynasty, there was a master sculptor, Zhang Cheng. His heirloom was the rarest treasure among all the sculptures. There was no signature below, so it was obviously not from Zhang Cheng’s hands. It is most likely a fake Yingluo.”
“If that’s the case, the starting bid of 500000 is a little high.”
Many people were discussing it with high spirits.
Among them were many self-proclaimed Master Appraisers, who spoke with fervor and assurance.
With just a few words, he denied the authenticity of this collection.
LAN xingbo nudged Lan Xiao’s arm and asked in a low voice, ” “Sister, do you think this red plate is real or fake?”
how would I know? I’m not planning to buy it anyway. I’m just here to watch the show. I’m not going to get involved. Lan Xiao acted as if it was none of his business and was focused on eating the melon.
LAN xingbo’s heart was itching, but he had to admit that Lan Xiao didn’t have the talent to appraise.
“I knew you wouldn’t understand. Didn’t you appraise the two stones wrongly at brother Jiang’s stone gambling gathering? It’s good that we don’t get involved, it’s good too, Yingluo.”
