Burning down my ex-husband's house! I won't raise these bastard children anymore
Chapter 401 Forget it, I don’t want this vase anymore
Lin Panpan's eyes lit up. The biggest advantage of the auction here is that everyone can go on stage to watch.
Lin Panpan went straight up to the stage and lined up to take a look. Gu Mobai said softly, "Not bad, but it's not something from the Old Summer Palace."
Lin Panpan whispered, "Hmm? Where did that come from?"
Gu Mobai lowered his eyes to stare at the enamel-colored vase on the display stand, its glaze halo flowing. He lowered his voice and said, "Although the body of this vase is delicate, it lacks the lustrous feeling of the glutinous rice juice of the Qianlong official kiln."
He raised his hand and pointed at the lotus pattern on the body of the weapon:
"Look at the blending of the colors. Authentic enamel should have thick materials and a piled texture.
But the gold powder outline here is vague, and it seems to be imitating the Western enamel technique commonly used in the Republic of China period."
Lin Panpan leaned in for a closer look. Gu Mobai calmly turned away the guest who was peeking behind him and continued:
"The calligraphy of the inscription on the bottom is also strange; the vertical hook on the right side of the character 'qian' is too stiff.
Compared to the Qianlong Imperial Kiln inscription in the Palace Museum collection, it lacks the rounded and powerful quality of the emperor’s calligraphy.”
He suddenly chuckled, and his warm breath brushed past her ears:
"This is more like a replica made by the craftsmen of Jingdezhen, who were summoned by Tianjin Xiao Dezhang to please Puyi.
It's a century old, so it would be nice to have as an antique ornament."
To put it bluntly, it's a fake.
Lin Panpan had a bottom line. When the offer of 150,000 sounded, Lin Panpan raised her hand and bid 160,000.
Ye Zhiyi, who was standing in front of him, slowly spun his champagne glass and said, "One hundred and eighty thousand..."
Lin Panpan looked at her and said, "Ye Zhiyi, you really grab everything you see!"
Ye Zhiyi lazily leaned on the velvet chair, casually holding up the bidding card with her fingertips painted with burgundy nail polish, and said, "I just like to steal your things. Do you have the guts to continue?"
The sound of bids coming one after another quickly flooded the entire auction hall like a rising tide. When the price broke through the half-million mark, sporadic gasps were heard in the hall.
Ye Zhiyi suddenly straightened his back, placed the champagne glass heavily on the low table and said, "One million!"
Lin Panpan chuckled: "One million? Then I'll offer one million and two hundred thousand, are you still willing to follow?"
Ye Zhiyi sneered and fiercely raised the bidding card: "One million and five hundred thousand!"
This time the whole place fell completely silent, with everyone's eyes shifting back and forth between the two women who were on edge.
Lin Panpan gently placed the bidding card on her knees, smoothed the wrinkles on her skirt, and said calmly, "Forget it, I don't want this vase anymore."
Ye Zhiyi chuckled and said, "You're really not up to par. You still want to compete with me? Don't you think twice about yourself?"
Zhou Yunshu twitched a smile and said, "That's right. I really thought she was so great, but she can't even come up with 150 million."
She deliberately prolonged the last syllable of the word, attracting the attention of the guests around her to Lin Panpan.
Lin Panpan raised her eyebrows and said:
"Ms. Zhou, don't say you can't come up with 150 million. Have you paid for the 29 suit?
Stop fanning the flames here, if you have the guts, show me how powerful you are!"
The auctioneer held the gilded hammer in his hand, and his powerful voice echoed throughout the hall: "Dear guests, the next item to be presented is the undisputed heavyweight treasure of this auction..."
He paused for a moment, and as the curtain slowly opened, a hostess walked out slowly, carrying a black velvet tray. "A Northern Song Dynasty Ru kiln celadon glaze three-legged jar and tray!"
"This is a rare Ru kiln heirloom. It perfectly illustrates the Song Huizong imperial inscription, 'After the rain, the sky is blue and the clouds are broken.'" The auctioneer raised his magnifying glass and said:
“It is truly a rare treasure that it has been preserved so well after thousands of years.
According to research, this plate was once treasured by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty and was recorded in the "Archives of the Imperial Household Department of the Qing Palace".
The starting price is 18 yuan, and each increment must be no less than 2 yuan! Now, the bidding begins! "
Gu Mobai said softly: "This thing is pretty good, you can take a picture of it."
Lin Panpan raised her sign directly. The price in front had already reached 30, so she raised her sign directly, 32.
Zhou Yunshu's lips curled up in a sarcastic arc, and his fingertips tapped heavily on the armrest of the chair: "This woman really doesn't want to let go of anything."
She stared intently at Lin Panpan, who was holding a sign on the stage, and said, "Since she dares to raise the sign, I want to see who will have the last laugh!"
She suddenly raised the number plate and said, "Three hundred and fifty thousand!"
The atmosphere in the auction hall instantly tensed. Lin Panpan's expression remained unchanged as she calmly raised the number plate above her head. A clear female voice echoed in the auction hall: "Five hundred thousand."
The sound of people whispering to each other was heard one after another, and the bidding surged like a tide. The price rose steadily in the fierce confrontation and soon broke through the 800,000 mark.
Zhou Yunshu clutched the license plate tightly, her nails practically digging into her palm. "What a pretentious act! How could she, the director of the Red Star Machinery Factory, have so much money?"
Ye Zhiyi's lips curled up into a sinister smile: "Why bother to fight with her?"
She glanced at the people around her, a calculating glint in her eyes: "Let her have a taste of what it's like to have her belly burst."
They looked at each other and their hands dropped in unison.
In the entire auction hall, only Lin Panpan was still holding the sign steadily, and the number of 800,000 was particularly dazzling under the spotlight.
Ye Zhiyi glanced at Lin Panpan on the stage and laughed exaggeratedly, "Lin Panpan, I think you're just trying to be rich! Eight hundred thousand? I want to see where you can get so much money from!"
She deliberately dragged out the last word, her tone full of sarcasm:
“Here we are, it’s not easy to get out without paying.
By then, I might have to sell myself here to pay off my debts!"
Lin Panpan was too lazy to pay attention to her. Gu Mobai sneered and said, "Wife, you use my money. I have money."
Lin Panpan shook her head and said, "No need, I brought enough gold bars this time."
"Are those gold bars usable?"
Lin Panpan nodded: "Of course it can be used, I have processed everything, most people can't see any problems."
Gu Mobai nodded. It was 1974, and there were not many people with an annual income of ten thousand yuan, and even fewer with an annual income of over one million yuan.
But this is just a superficial phenomenon. Many aristocratic families are just hiding.
Lin Panpan did not bid in the subsequent auctions until the last few items.
The auctioneer's gilded hammer struck the rosewood table hard, shaking the hanging crystal chandelier slightly.
“Please see, everyone, this crown is definitely not an ordinary royal item.
According to legend, it originally belonged to Mingyao, the last queen of Nanzhao Kingdom. This legendary princess was proficient in witchcraft and mechanical arts, and she once hid twelve sophisticated mechanisms in the interlayer of the phoenix crown.
The night-shining pearl in the center of the crown is actually the key to unlocking the secret realm."
He raised his hand to signal the staff to dim the lights, and the Night Pearl immediately emitted a luminous green light:
“On every full-moon night, this bead will project an ancient map, pointing to the legendary underground palace where the Nanzhao secret treasure is hidden.
Of course, the truth of this is left for you to discover."
The auctioneer's eyes swept over the guests who were holding their breath:
"Because of this fantastical origin, this crown was later called the Netherworld Mysterious Phoenix Crown.
It is not only a masterpiece of craftsmanship, but also carries a thousand-year-old mysterious legend. The starting price is 50 yuan, and each increment is no less than 5 yuan.
The moment the scarlet velvet lining was lifted, twelve golden phoenixes flapped their wings and were about to fly, with deep-sea pearls as eyes and tails gleaming with a faint blue gemstone.
