Chapter 54

Banruo looked at the person, and saw that he was wearing a white shirt with two buttons undone at the collar, revealing a sexy collarbone. He was wearing a pair of black trousers. It feels both abstinent and promiscuous, and looks neither like a bad guy nor a good guy, which is extremely contradictory.

His eyes were lazy, and there were a pair of gold-rimmed eyes on the eyes with endless temptation, which made the dangerous aura in his eyes restrained a little.

Banruo looked at him intently but didn't speak, but the man took out a bottle of red wine from the refrigerator familiarly, poured it into a goblet, shook it, took a sip before opening his mouth: "You are Yubai's girlfriend ?”

"No."

He opened his thin lips lightly: "It's the first time I saw him bring a woman home."

"it a accident."

"Accidents are actually inevitable in a certain sense." The man said.

Prajna was not interested in this topic, "Are you studying philosophy?"

"You're mocking me." The man shrugged, but he wasn't angry, he just laughed softly, "Actually, I'm a medical student."

"Aren't doctors all busy?"

"What? I look idle?"

Prajna seeks truth from facts: "Indeed."

He seemed to find Prajna very interesting, and there was a hint of interest in his eyes.Staring at Banruo who was eating for a moment, he suddenly stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "You can call me Dr. Huo."

"Doctor Huo? You are Huo Yubai's elder brother, Huo Xiaobei's father, right?" Banruo said without raising her head.

Dr. Huo touched his perfectly lined side face, and said with some regret: "What? Could it be that my face looks very old? You can tell at a glance that I have a 17-year-old son!"

Banruo couldn't stand his temper, and immediately said: "It's not very old, it's just that when I smile, there are lines in the corners of my eyes."

With a weird smile on the corner of Dr. Huo's mouth, he said very seriously: "It seems that the plastic surgery I performed on myself last time was not successful enough!"

When Banruo heard this, she felt a little nervous. In fact, she couldn't tell the truth from the fake, but no matter what, this man succeeded in making her lose her appetite for food.

Banruo quickly finished the millet porridge in the bowl, put down the chopsticks and said, "Okay, Dr. Huo, I wish you a good appetite."

"Thank you." Dr. Huo sat on the chair and squinted at her: "If I'm not wrong, you are the one who saved Xiaobei, right?"

"It just happened to save him."

"Since Xiaobei and Xiaobei are classmates, I will cook for you in person another day."

"No need." Banruo politely declined. When she thought of him saying a scalpel to perform plastic surgery for herself, for some reason, this image was deeply engraved in her mind. Even though she didn't know whether it was true or not, she didn't want to eat his cooking. "Have a nice meal."

With that said, Banruo walked out of the restaurant.

The noon sun in early autumn is warm, shining into the house, there is a velvet-like texture.

Huo Yubai was not at home, so Banruo sat on a chair and called Bohe. When she asked, Bohe said that Huo Yubai had asked her for a whole day off.

When she hung up the phone, she heard the phone ring. It was Zhao Mingyuan calling.

"Master, are you okay?" Zhao Mingyuan asked worriedly.

"I'm fine." Probably because she was used to being lonely in her previous life, Ban Ruo was not used to other people's worries. "You have something to do with me?"

"That's it. Do you remember the charity dinner I mentioned to you last time? The time is set for this Saturday night. If you are free, you must come!" Zhao Mingyuan said.

Banruo had never participated in this kind of banquet in her previous life, and she never wanted to donate money directly to relevant organizations.

"You need to prepare something to donate as an auction item, or you can donate money directly, but on such occasions, there are very few people who donate money, and everyone will bring something." Zhao Mingyuan explained.

"Is there any regulation on this thing?"

"No, as long as you think you can afford it, of course, you can't be too shabby, otherwise it will be embarrassing if no one bids!"

"I understand."

"Master, do you have anything to take? Do you need my help?"

To tell the truth, Hannya was a little bit troubled by suddenly asking her to take out something, the value of the palace bowl was too high, she was reluctant to give it to others, and all the antiques and emeralds she bought before were sold by her Well, speaking of it, she really doesn't have anything to hand!
However, she also knew that Zhao Mingyuan was very busy with the foreign trade company recently, and she didn't want to trouble Zhao Mingyuan at this time.

"No, I can handle it myself."

"Okay, see you on Saturday night."

Banruo hung up the phone and suddenly felt that she had no clue about this matter. At this moment, she suddenly felt that she really lacked someone who could help her. She looked diligent, but she was actually very lazy, especially impatient with trivial matters.

Banruo suddenly thought of a person, she opened the phone's address book, turned to a number, thought for a moment, and then called.

"Miss Wang." The other side quickly picked up.

Banruo didn't greet him politely, and went straight to the point: "You don't have anything to do, right?"

"No, just wait for Miss Wang's orders."

"Okay, I'm going to attend a charity dinner, and I need to prepare an item for auction. Come and pick me up to prepare it." Banruo said.

"Is it Saturday night's dinner at Huo's Jewelry?"

"Yes."

On the other side, Qian Yuanji immediately agreed. "Okay, I'll pick you up right away."

Putting down the phone, Qian Yuanji's face was more serious than ever. Although he is an old sparrow in this industry, and Banruo is just a young girl, speaking of it, he shouldn't be so nervous. It is simply too easy for Prajna to do something that is beneficial to oneself.But the fact is on the contrary, in front of a magic fortune like Banruo, he often felt that the other party seemed to understand everything. He said that last time, when Banruo just glanced at him, he felt that she seemed to see through his past and future.In front of Prajna, he didn't even dare to play a little trick, as if that would only make himself a joke.

Therefore, Qian Yuanji put away all his small thoughts at this time and waited for him. He knew that Prajna would come to him today because he wanted to test his ability. left and right hands.

Qian Yuanji drove a modern small-displacement car, and soon came to Shifang Villa.

Qian Yuanji's character is quite active, and he knows how to create topics, even if he is alone with a person who doesn't talk much like Banruo, the scene doesn't cool down.

Along the way, time passed quickly.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of an antique shop. Qian Yuanji looked at the signboard of the antique shop and explained: "Although this antique shop is not as big as Gulangxuan's, the goods in this shop come from a variety of sources. Guang, there are many antiques that are not commonly seen on the surface, the reason why I brought you here today is because this antique shop has a small private auction today."

"Auction?" Banruo frowned. He had never heard of a small antique shop holding its own auction.

"Yes, but the scale is very small, and there are usually only a few items in the auction, but the advantage is that there are occasional genuine items, and the price is usually relatively low. I was thinking, come here to have a look first, if there are no good items, go to Gulangxuan It's not too late to buy one." Qian Yuanji explained the purpose of this trip.

Banruo nodded, looked at the number plate of the antique shop, and agreed.

This small antique shop called Fengmingxuan is not on the Antique Street. There were thirty or forty merchants at the small auction site.

Qian Yuanji took the number plate and sat down in the last row with Banruo.

Not long after, the auction started, and a man dressed like a person from the Qing Dynasty came onto the stage, holding a small microphone and said: "Welcome to Fengmingxuan's auction, all bosses, I am your old friend Wang Qing, I announce that this time The auction has officially started! We will auction a total of ten treasures this afternoon, and the time is limited, if you bosses have favorite products, please don't hesitate to take them as soon as you see them!"

Wang Qing continued: "Next, let's auction the first item."

Banruo followed the sound and looked towards the stage, only to see a beautiful woman in a cheongsam bring the lot up.

"The owner of Lot No. [-] said that this brand is porcelain from the Qing Dynasty. If there are any good ones, please show your cards!"

After hearing this, Qian Yuanji explained in Banruo's ear: "This Fengmingxuan is just an intermediary. It does not guarantee that all the auction items are authentic, nor does it guarantee that the relevant information the seller said is true. Everything depends on the buyer's own judgment."

"I see." Banruo looked at the porcelain, and saw that it was a jar about [-] centimeters high. Good condition.

At this time, many interested buyers went up to inspect the lot, and Banruo heard buyer No. 20 next to him say, "I think this is an antique, and it is probably about the same if it is said to be from the Qing Dynasty."

Qian Yuanji looked at Banruo: "Miss Wang, do you think this is a good shot?"

"How much is the reserve price?"

"Twenty-eight thousand!"

"Twenty-eight thousand?" Banruo was a little surprised, the starting price was too low, because just now, her ability had changed slightly, and this ability seemed to be very eager to absorb spiritual power from this porcelain, but this There doesn't seem to be much spiritual power in the porcelain, and after only a while of eating the supernatural power, I feel that there is nothing to eat.

Seeing this supernatural power, Banruo reacted, and knew that the porcelain turned out to be a real piece, but it was definitely not as expensive as a good product like a palace bowl.She looked at the porcelain, and saw that the porcelain had a strong evil spirit, which seemed to come from something that had been buried in the ground for many years. Judging by the degree of evil spirit, this porcelain did not seem to be from the Qing Dynasty, but on the contrary Like something from the Ming Dynasty.

Qian Yuanji asked her: "Should we shoot or not!"

"shoot!"

There seem to be not many people interested in this porcelain. Judging by their attitude, Banruo seems to think that such a new thing is not like the real thing at all, but a modern imitation. Besides, although the price of [-] is not expensive, However, there was a lot of porcelain in the Qing Dynasty, and even if it was a genuine product, it might not be sold at a high price. Therefore, not many people raised their placards.

In the end, only No. 20 and Banruo raised their cards.

20 beats and raised a sign: "[-]."

Qian Yuanji asked, "Miss Wang, can I buy this thing?"

Prajna said with firm eyes: "It is inevitable!"

Qian Yuanji knew what she meant, and immediately raised a sign: "Thirty-five thousand!"

No. 20 hesitated for a moment, and then increased the price by another ten thousand. "Forty-five thousand."

Qian Yuanji held up a placard: "Fifty thousand!"

No. 20 seems to like this porcelain very much, but considering the price, he knows that if it is porcelain from the late Qing Dynasty, there are simply too many of this kind of porcelain. Now there are a few pieces in his warehouse. If it is more than [-] I'm afraid I won't make much money if I photographed it.

However, No. 20 finally gritted his teeth and said, "Fifty-five thousand!"

"Sixty thousand!" Qian Yuanji glanced at No. 20, only to see that No. 20 hesitated for a long time, and finally gave up.

In the end, Banruo won the auction. Qian Yuanji glanced at the jar, a little unsure. Sometimes people are like this. If there are many people who rob it, they will think it is a good item. On the contrary, if no one robs the item , he will feel that he is not expensive.

Thinking of this, he asked cautiously: "Miss Wang, do you think this jar is from the Qing Dynasty?"

"No."

Qian Yuanji's face turned dark, didn't he still buy it?Isn't this a loss?Although it wasn't his money that was lost, both the boss and the employees were both prosperous and lost!

Just listen to Prajna and said again: "This is from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty."

"what?"

Qian Yuanji was shocked. "It's from the Yongle period? Are you sure?" You know, if this jar is from the Yongle period, it can be worth at least a few million. In other words, they still picked up a big leak!

Qian Yuanji suppressed the excitement in his heart, he held the sign tightly, and looked at the stage seriously.

The next few items were not very good. Banruo glanced at them and lost interest until the next evening, when the last item was brought up.

Wang Qing came to the stage and introduced: "This lot is a family heirloom of the seller. It is said that her ancestors received this Cartier emerald necklace in 1933. Over the years, this necklace has been passed down as a family heirloom. Today, this The seller’s family business was in trouble, so he wanted to put this necklace up for auction, and the starting price he offered was very high. I announce lot 10—Cartier’s natural emerald bead, ruby ​​and diamond necklace in 1933, with an auction price of 3000 million !"

Hearing this price, the scene was filled with excitement. Although Fengmingxuan's auction is small in size, the starting price of the auction items is usually not high, but it is not that high-priced items have never been sold. There are also rich businessmen at the scene, and the starting price is 3000 million. The emerald necklace, however, still aroused discussion at the scene.

However, after hearing this, Prajna suddenly became interested.

Before the red cloth covering the necklace was removed, the supernatural ability in her body began to move around. The supernatural ability seemed to be hungry for a long time. After the big meal, the supernatural ability could not wait to pounce on it immediately and feast on it.

Hannya stared straight at the diamond necklace. It was a necklace strung with many jadeite beads. The color of the jadeite was very positive and vivid, and each bead was full. The head of the jadeite beads was even more perfect. No matter which direction you look from, it seems that water can drip out. This string of chains is made up of 27 natural emerald beads, and finally it is sealed with a ring inlaid with red gemstones unique to the Cartier family. The whole necklace looks very beautiful. , without a trace of impurities.Moreover, the condition of the necklace is very good, all the beads have not been worn out, it is so good that it looks like it has just been put out for sale, it can be seen that the seller has kept it very well.

The starting price of 3000 million still scared everyone at the scene. Perhaps the buyers who came here did not prepare too much cash, so no one raised their placards.

Wang Qing and the seller looked at each other, both of them were anxious.

Wang Qing saw that time was passing by but no one bid, so he couldn't help but said: "This is an authentic Cartier jadeite necklace. Let's say these 27 natural jadeites are placed in today's jewelry stores. I'm afraid they can't be bought without tens of millions." Come on, not to mention, this is something from 1933, and there are very few jadeites of this color now! You will definitely not suffer a loss after taking pictures!"

However, most of the people who come here are just to pick up the loopholes, spend 300, and buy something worth 300 million. , It may not be able to sell at a good price, and many people are unwilling to take this risk.

Seeing this, Wang Qing had no choice but to raise the hammer.

"If there is really no bid, then I can only announce that this lot has passed the bid!" Wang Qing said, and was about to hammer it down.

Suddenly, Prajna blocked her exit, her eyes were burning, she looked at the jade necklace with absolute certainty, and said in a deep voice: "Wait!"

Hearing her words, everyone at the scene looked at her in unison. Seeing that she was just a little girl, everyone discussed and guessed that she was the daughter of a rich family.

Qian Yuanji was a little surprised when she heard that she wanted to buy it. "Miss Wang, 3000 million is not a small amount. If you want, you can buy an emerald necklace for 3000 million. Why buy this 1933 Cartier necklace? No one has sold this kind of thing before. No one knows how much this is worth!"

"Don't worry!" Banruo believes in her own judgment, besides, she likes simple things, the color and color of this jadeite are very beautiful, she likes it very much.

Qian Yuanji had no other choice. At her suggestion, he held up the sign: "If no one bids, we are willing to bid for this jadeite necklace at a price of 3100 million."

"Okay! 3100 million once! 3100 million twice! 3100 million three times!" Wang Qing seemed to be afraid that Prajna would go back on his word. The price of this jadeite necklace was auctioned!"

"3100 million! This little girl is really rich!"

"Yeah, I don't know if she understands what it means. If the necklace can't be sold, it won't be a big loss?"

"Maybe people don't care about the money at all, they just want to buy it and keep it at home!"

Everyone discussed, and everyone looked at Prajna with scrutiny, inquiry, envy, and jealousy.

Qian Yuanji was also a little puzzled, he asked: "Miss Wang, did you buy this emerald necklace to bring to a charity dinner?"

"Of course not. If I'm not mistaken, the piece of porcelain I bought just now belongs to Ming Yongle. It can be worth at least 200 million yuan. Although it is not expensive, it is more than enough to participate in an auction."

"It's natural." Qian Yuanji agreed, "Then this necklace..."

Hannah raised an eyebrow and looked at him. "Can I buy it and wear it myself?"

"Wear it yourself?" Qian Yuanji choked. "You're really... so brave!" Wearing more than 3000 million necklaces around your neck, you're not afraid of being robbed.

After paying the money, Banruo put the diamond necklace in her bag and put it away. She looked at the blue and white porcelain and said to Qian Yuanji, "You can help me deliver this to my home."

The so-called don't use the suspect, and don't doubt the employing person. Since Prajna has used him, there will be no doubt.

"Okay! Give me the address, and I'll send it for you. You will definitely need makeup and a dress for the dinner on Saturday. After I contact you for these, I will drive to pick you up on Saturday afternoon." Qian Yuanji arranged the matter good.

"Row."
