Chapter 140 The Spectacle of the Moon Shadow Lantern
Mr. Dao's attitude towards himself and Fu Yihong suddenly changed, and Mo Liming naturally knew the reason. It was because Mrs. Dao said good things for them in front of her husband. Otherwise, why would he let people visit the couple today? Moonlight".

After dinner, Mr. Dao said, "Since you are so interested, go in and have a look at that thing first, and help me estimate the price by the way."

"Okay. Thank you, Mr. Dao." Mo Liming laughed happily.

After speaking, he and Fu Yihong, who was sitting beside him, glanced at each other, their eyes were full of joy.

Fu Yihong knew in her heart that it was thanks to Mo Liming this time, if it wasn't for his "improvement", he would have been driven away by Mr. Dao, and there would be no chance to stay and continue to discuss.

Seeing that they were about to see the legendary "Moon Shadow Magic Lamp" in person, Mo Liming and Fu Yihong were very happy in their hearts, and they were also a little bit excited.

"You two, please follow me." Mr. Dao politely asked for instructions.

"Ah."

Mo Liming and Fu Yihong stood up together, and followed Mr. Dao into a room.

Now it was evening when night fell, and the curtains in the room were drawn tightly, so the light was dim. Mr. Dao turned on the dim electric light in the room to see clearly.

"Here, it's these two things." Mr. Dao went to uncover a large gray cloth and instructed.

When the piece of cloth fell, the eyes of Mo Liming and Fu Yihong suddenly lit up, and what suddenly caught their eyes was a pair of antique lamps.

The pair of ancient lamps quietly leaned against the corner of the wall, exuding a strong atmosphere of historical precipitation.

"It's really 'Moon Shadow Lantern'!" Fu Yihong blurted out.

"I also feel that something is right." Mo Liming turned to look at her and said.

The two of them walked forward immediately, and they could see more clearly. They saw that the lamp stands of the pair of lamps were made of huanghuali wood, about one and a half meters high. Layered landscape pictures.

"This pair of ancient lamps was left over from my wife's natal home. Her mother kept them very intact. After the mother-in-law passed away, my wife took back the things and kept them." Only Mr. Dao said, "But At that time, we didn't pay much attention to it. We only knew that it was a pair of antique shelf lamps. Until a friend of mine who likes to collect antiques saw it and told me that it might be worth a lot of money. After that, my wife and I thought it over. We decided to find a trustworthy auction company to bid on, but we need a discount because we are in a hurry to use the money, and the money is quite a lot.”

Mo Liming and the others had heard some of what he said from Mrs. Dao before, but no one knew what the Dao family was in urgent need of money for.

"Mr. Dao, congratulations first. The pair of ancient lamps preserved by your family should be genuine. They were probably passed down from the Ming Dynasty. Even if they were not in the palace, they would have been owned by officials." Fu Yihong stared at them with piercing eyes. Looking at the obviously covered lamp stand, he explained, "I have never seen this kind of thing before. It is a rare thing in the antique market, and it can even be said to be an 'orphan product'."

"Then how much is it worth?" Hearing Fu Yihong's words of admiration, a smile appeared on Mr. Dao's originally cold face.

Fu Yihong replied: "It's hard to say, because there is no precedent in the history of ancient art auctions in recent years, so it's hard to find a reference price. But 'rare things are more expensive', I can be sure that it will not pass the auction, It will definitely be auctioned off smoothly!"

"Oh, is that right? Miss Fu, I trust your eyesight, thank you for helping me estimate." Mr. Dao said gratefully.

Fu Yihong smiled and said: "Mr. Dao, you're welcome. I'm just speaking truthfully. The Mr. Yin who came to you earlier, his starting price and the statement about the deposit are close to the actual situation."

"That's it." Mr. Dao looked at Fu Yihong thoughtfully and said, "Just now I took him to see something, and after reading it, he immediately made a very tempting suggestion. I don't know what he said is worth it. Not trustworthy?"

"what?!"

Mo Liming and Fu Yihong asked in unison.

"How can such a person be trusted?!" Mo Liming then sneered at Yin Kui in his heart.

Mr. Dao said: "This is how he discussed with me. He gave me 80 yuan, not the pair of lamps themselves, saying that the lamps could continue to be sold by the auction company. What he wanted were the blueprints on the lampshade. I was I couldn't believe my ears when I heard it, I just thought that there would be such a good thing in this world, I exchanged 80 for two small pictures, took the piece of paper, and pasted two new, better-looking ones. Is that it?"

"Mr. Dao, you were almost fooled by that person!" Fu Yihong's eyebrows were frowned suddenly, and she said solemnly, "You may not be clear, but this pair of ancient lamps is called 'Moon Shadow Lamp', the reason why they are so valuable , its essence lies in the two ever-changing stickers on the lampshade. If there are no stickers on the lampshade, it will really not be worth much. The transaction price will exceed 30 yuan, because ancient lamps made of ancient pear wood are not uncommon in the market, so they are not very competitive."

"So, that Mr. Yin from the 'Bogu Auction Company' in your urban area has bad intentions, and he wants to take advantage of me because I don't know anything about these things?" Mr. Dao said with an angry look on his face.

"Mr. Dao, it's obvious that he's deceiving you! This kind of person is really inhuman and has no professional ethics at all!" Mo Liming angrily scolded Yin Kui without concealment.

"Hey, it's a good thing I didn't have to be obsessed with money to agree to him immediately, otherwise I would destroy the pair of lamps!" Mr. Dao sighed.

Fu Yihong nodded and said: "Mr. Dao, you are right, this pair of 'Moon Shadow Lanterns' is an integral whole, without any part, it will not be the same."

"Forgive my ignorance." Mr. Dao said very modestly, "Miss Fu, I have to ask you, why are the pictures on the lampshade the most important?"

"Let me tell you the facts, it's more convincing." Fu Yihong said solemnly, "But I have to do an experiment."

"What experiment?" Mr. Dao asked suspiciously.

Mo Liming also stared at Fu Yihong in surprise, not knowing what it meant.

"Mr. Dao, do you have candles at home?" Fu Yihong asked without answering.

"Candles, yes." Mr. Dao nodded quickly and replied.

"Then trouble you to get two." Fu Yihong said.

"Well, okay." Mr. Dao agreed without hesitation, and then he turned and went out to get the candles.

After Mr. Dao stepped out, Mo Liming seemed to understand Fu Yihong's intention. He didn't say anything, but concentrated on observing the miraculous picture on the lampshade.

"Yihong, those paintings weren't directly painted on the lampshade, right?" Mo Liming said suddenly.

"Yes, it's a picture posted on it. It's amazing. I've only seen related descriptions in books before, and I haven't seen its mysterious changes with my own eyes. But it will become clear after a while." Fu Yihong Qiao Xiaoyan replied.

Not long after, Mr. Dao walked in with a candle.

"Miss Fu, I found two candles, and more than half of them were burned. Is it okay? If it doesn't work, I will ask my wife to go downstairs to the grocery store in the community to buy some new ones." Mr. Dao said.

But Fu Yihong shook her head and said with a satisfied smile: "No need. The shorter one is just right for use."

After he took the candle and lighter from Mr. Knife, he said, "Mr. Knife, take off the lampshade, let's put the candle on it and light it to see the effect."

"Success!" Mr. Dao said without thinking.

When he carefully took off the lampshade, Fu Yihong winked at Mo Liming to turn off the lamp and close the door.

Mo Liming understood and went to do it.

All of a sudden, the room was dark.

Immediately afterwards, Fu Yihong lit the candles plugged into the lamp sockets one by one, and asked Mr. Dao to reinstall the lampshade.

After a while, strange and magnificent scenes appeared, only the shadows of the pictures appeared on the four walls and the ceiling, and what was even more strange was the portrait on the lampshade.

The peculiar landscape portrait on the lampshade is alive, with vast mist, shadows of trees whirling, mountains surrounded by clouds and mist, boats and figures moving slowly, ready to emerge.

In an instant, Mo Liming and Mr. Dao were dumbfounded, and Fu Yihong was also beaming and excited.

"Miss Fu, what the hell is going on?! The landscape figures in the painting, every plant and tree are moving!" Mr. Dao couldn't help exclaiming.

Mo Liming also took a long breath, unbelievable, although he had guessed this scene before, but guessing and witnessing it with his own eyes are two completely different feelings.

Fu Yihong said: "Mr. Dao, now our experiment is successful. Congratulations. This pair of lamps is a real treasure. Its name is 'Moon Shadow Lantern', which is taken from the famous sentence of Zhang Xian, a famous poet in the Northern Song Dynasty: 'Yun Po All the mysteries are in these two landscape paintings. This is a very superb landscape painting technique, but it has been lost so far. It is only recorded in ancient books. Like this baby, I used to I haven’t seen it before, but today I have opened my eyes.”

"Yeah, I've opened my eyes too! It's a unique treasure!" Mo Liming couldn't help admiring.

"Thank you! Without your guidance, I would never know that this pair of ancient lamps has such a function in my life! That Mr. Yin is really unkind, trying to change the most precious thing. Cheated him at a low price! I will never talk to him again, if there is such a worthless person in their company, then it is not worthy of trust!"

Mo Liming and Fu Yihong smiled at each other after listening to his words that became firm after a thorough understanding.

With the other party's words, they all breathed a long sigh of relief in their hearts, which shows that Mr. Dao has completely given up cooperating with Yin Kui and his company now.

"Hehe, Yin Kui, what can you do if you plant a traitor in our company? A treacherous person like you can't do any big business at all, he will only shoot himself in the foot!" Mo Liming secretly He denounced Yin Kui's shadow.

"Mr. Dao, I wonder if you are interested in talking with us? Our company is called 'Jiuding Auction Company', you can check it first to see how our company's reputation and reputation are in the art auction house." Fu Yihong pushed the boat smoothly. Said formally.

Mr. Dao nodded resolutely and said: "There is really no need to investigate. I can tell from the two of you that you are both honest and trustworthy people, and your company must have a good reputation. I believe you. "

"Thank you, Mr. Dao! I think we will have a happy cooperation!" Fu Yihong said happily.

So far, Mo Liming is also very happy in his heart, feeling like he's done.

After admiring the pair of "Moon Shadow Lanterns" in the room for a while, the three of them retreated from the room.

Before Mo Liming and Fu Yihong said goodbye and left, Mr. Dao also agreed, he said please allow him to think about it, but he would never trust Yin Kui, and only kept in touch with them.

…………

"Li Ming, that's great!"

After walking out of Mr. Dao's house, Fu Yihong said to Mo Liming happily: "Before I came here, I never thought that it would be so simple, and it would be so easy to win Mr. Dao's trust. And it's all thanks to you."

"But I don't know if Mr. Dao is for sale?" Mo Liming said with his eyes narrowed.

"It should be almost there, at least we have taken a big step successfully!" Fu Yihong said with a smile, "We can have a good sleep tonight, and hope that when we wake up tomorrow morning, we will receive a message from Mr. Dao asking us to pick up the goods." Telephone."

"As the saying goes: 'With all sincerity, gold and stone are opened'. Yihong, their family has this need, and they shouldn't be able to take it off. We just have to wait." Mo Liming said in a comforting tone.

"Well, I'm relieved." Fu Yihong replied politely.

At that moment, the two of them drove straight to the hotel where they were staying. In the car, Fu Yihong suddenly said, "Mo Liming, if Mr. Dao doesn't reply tomorrow, what arrangements should we make?"

"Just take a walk. I heard that there are quite a lot of tourist attractions here in WLMQ." Mo Liming said casually.

Fu Yihong said: "It's not bad to continue to go to the gambling stone market. Hehe, maybe you will have good luck again! It's better to bet on stones to get money quickly, right?"

"That's true. We'll talk about it tomorrow when we wake up." Mo Liming smiled.

After the car stopped by the gate of the hotel, Mo Liming and Fu Yihong got out of the car.

"Mr. Mo—"

Mo Liming had just stepped into the threshold of the hotel. At this moment, he only heard a greeting coming from the front right. It was Wang Hao.

"Mr. Wang, what's the matter?" Mo Liming stepped forward and asked calmly.

"It's nothing." Wang Hao said with a straight expression, he handed Mo Liming a note, and then hurried away without any explanation.

Mo Liming didn't read the content on the paper in time, but walked back to the guest room first.

He didn't unfold the note until Fu Yihong said goodbye and no one was around.

"There is such a thing?!"

It doesn't matter if it doesn't matter, he was taken aback when he saw it.
