"Bang——!" Someone rang the gong next to the booth in the hall on the first floor, and today's secret treasure conference officially began.

The man who stepped onto the booth, a man in his forties, with a rich appearance and a kind smile, bowed to the guests around him and said loudly: "Dear guests, today is the third session of the Secret Treasure Conference. What treasures will be revealed today?

What? Everyone must be looking forward to it as much as me. Now, Baohui will start!"

The host paused for a moment, and was very satisfied when he saw the expectant expressions of the people below, and then shouted loudly, "Next, the treasure we are going to take a photo of comes from the first jewelry store in Yanjiang——

Precious Xuan! This is a pair of golden and red emerald pendants. It is said that this is the proud work of Master Mingchen!"

Treasures that participate in the secret treasure conference can choose to disclose the seller of the treasure, or they can auction it anonymously. In order to earn reputation, many shops will choose to disclose the seller, such as this precious pavilion. However, there are some treasures that are auctioned by individuals, and many people do not.

I would like to be known as the seller, so my name will not be published.

The seller of the drawing that was auctioned off by the public was said to be an individual seller who refused to reveal his name. That person was too low-key, so Ronghua and the others did not find out the details of the other party.

After the host finished speaking, there was a low exclamation in the audience! Gold-threaded red jade, the material of this jade is extremely rare and precious, even more valuable than emerald. Just for this material alone, this pair

The brand can be sold for a pretty good price, and this pair of brands is made by the jade master Ming Chen, which raises the value of this brand several notches!

At this time, a waiter came to the booth carrying a lacquer tray covered with soft satin. On it were two palm-sized plaques. The auction item was not big, and guests who were too far away could not see it clearly.

Yes, the waiter held up the sign and showed it around, then walked down the booth, walked around the aisles of the hall, and then went up to the second floor, stopping for a moment in front of each VIP box door, deliberately

Guests who purchase can ask the waiter to enter the box and take a closer look.

Cen Xiyan, the person in the box, was not interested in this precious jade. He just took a casual look and let the waiter pass.

After the treasures were displayed, it was time for the bidding. The low price for the pair of brands was two thousand silver. The price was raised all the way to twelve thousand taels before the owner of the box three rooms away from Cen Xiyan and others' box was found.

Bought it.

The next few items I photographed were mostly jade and jewelry, such as chicken fat jade three-goat, pigeon-egg-sized East Sea pearls, luminous pearls brought by Persian merchants...etc.

None of these, Cenxiyan, Jiangan, etc. had any intention of purchasing, so they did not participate in the bidding.

After the jewelry and other treasures were auctioned, some wooden products were next. The two treasures that "Yaqu" participated in the auction were also chosen to be auctioned on this day. The treasures from the other two shops in front were auctioned, and it was soon their turn."

"Elegance".

The first item on display is the red sandalwood Feng Shui town house Yu Yue Long Men. Anyone with a vision knows that red sandalwood is an extremely valuable wood. It is solid and thick, has fine wood, beautiful texture, good toughness, and is resistant to carving. It is one of the best mahogany trees.

head.

This fish leaping over the dragon's gate is about one and a half feet in diameter, about four feet high, and weighs sixty-two kilograms. It is a relatively large ornament. It is not colored or painted, and is only polished with beeswax. It is dark and simple, with a

It is as natural and beautiful as jade, and its carving craftsmanship is even more exquisite and breathtaking!

"Yaqu" is also a public store name participating in the Secret Treasure Convention. The items exhibited and auctioned in previous years also opened the eyes of those who participated in the Secret Treasure Convention. This time, there are naturally many people looking forward to it.

In terms of materials and craftsmanship, there is nothing to say about this townhouse ornament, especially the exquisite craftsmanship. In previous years, many merchants and buyers secretly inquired about which wood carving master was in charge of Yaqu.

, but after asking about it, I found out that it was just a few old craftsmen that Yaqu’s boss had been supporting, not some famous master.

Some people naturally wonder, how could such excellent craftsmanship not come from the hands of a master? But doubts remain doubts, and there is really no other information that can be found out. Some people think that those old craftsmen may be craftsmen with no reputation.

Yes, but even if you don’t know the name of Yaqu’s treasure maker, it will not affect the price of the treasure. After all, the people who come to the secret treasure conference are all people who know the goods.

The low price of this Yuyuelongmen Town House was 3,000 taels, but the price soared to 13,500 taels, and the bidding finally stopped.

The merchant who bid this price was an acquaintance of Cen Xiyan, who belonged to the family of Xiangli, the first emperor of the Eastern Xun Dynasty. Wei San's ink knife order was obtained from Xiangli Xia Huai, the son of Xiangli's family, but this

At the secret treasure conference, Xiangli Xiahuai did not come. Instead, a big steward of the Xiangli family came.

According to Cen Xiyan's estimate, the price is about the same, and it is estimated that it will not be higher.

At this moment, in a private room on the second floor, a slightly lazy man suddenly called out: "Twenty thousand taels!"

Because of this sudden sound, there was a moment of silence in the lobby on the first floor and the private rooms on the second floor!

The host, who was about to drop the hammer in his hand, was also stunned. He held the hammer in the air and paused for a long time. When he came to his senses, excitement suddenly appeared on his face and he said loudly: "Ten

Box No. 7, 20,000 taels! The elegant rosewood Feng Shui town house sold for a high price of 20,000 taels! Dear guests, is there anyone who offers a higher price?"

Twenty thousand taels! At this price, there is no profit. Those merchants who are ready to sell will naturally not pay more. And some dignitaries who purchase treasures for their own use or to give away are not all taken advantage of.

After weighing the price, no one said anything.

Cen Xiyan, Jiang An and others were also quite surprised and looked towards the bidder's box. It was a box diagonally opposite to them. Although the door was also open, there was a bamboo curtain blocking the door.

There was no sign of the bidder inside.

At the Secret Treasure Conference, in order to facilitate viewing the situation on the booth, all the boxes were open facing the booth, but the door of the bidder's box was blocked by a bamboo curtain, which seemed a bit strange.

Cen Xiyan's eyebrows couldn't help but jump up, this was a bit interesting...

"Twenty thousand taels once!"

"Twenty thousand two times!"

Seeing that no one raised the price, the host raised the hammer in his hand again, preparing for the third quotation, and then lowered the hammer.

At this moment, from the left side of the box where Cen Xiyan and others were sitting, another clear voice said slowly: "Thirty thousand taels."
Chapter completed!
