Dad's Tianting Taobao Store

Chapter 16
The car drove for more than 20 minutes before stopping.

When Xiao Ming got out of the car, he saw a single-family courtyard.

There are two stone lions standing at the door, majestic and majestic. The house is very simple with red bricks and green tiles. At first glance, it looks like a courtyard in the last century.

Xiao Ming was surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

Seeing Long Chengfei get out of the car and walk towards the inside without changing his face, Caiwen said, "Aren't you going to the auction venue?"

Long Chengfei turned his head and said: "Forget, I forgot to tell you in advance. My grandfather is very interested in collecting. He founded the Long Family's auction house for his own hobby. When he heard that you have Tang Yao's earthenware The bottle, I definitely want to take a look first."

Xiao Ming nodded, the expression on his face looked quite calm, but he was already shocked in his heart, and he was a little nervous holding the express box in his arms.

He just vaguely felt that the Tang Yao period was more than 2000 years old, and this bottle should be regarded as an antique.

Although this bottle has been worn out by Chang'e and looks very old, it should be able to sell for a good price, but I didn't expect it to alarm the patriarch of the Long family.

Although Xiao Ming is anxious to make money, he still understands the principle of being big and attracting the wind.

It's just a bottle, how can the Long family take time to meet him in person?

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming couldn't help but feel a little vigilant, and followed Long Chengfei to walk inside.

Bypassing the huge hollow relief screen in front of you, your eyes suddenly open up.

The area of ​​this house is larger than it looks from the outside, facing a garden, and not far away is a rockery lake, all of which maintain the style of the ancient times.

Judging from the scale and quaint atmosphere, it is not imitation, but has been handed down from generation to generation.

Having such a place in the city center where every inch of land is expensive is enough to prove the financial and material resources of the Long family.

Although the place is big, few people can be seen along the way.Long Chengfei led him through the garden, and was about to walk up the stone bridge, when there was a loud bang behind him!
Xiao Ming turned his head quickly, and a huge boulder rockery over two meters high suddenly fell down!

"Be careful!" Several people exclaimed from afar.

Xiao Ming looked at the boulder in front of him, but he couldn't even move it.

what happened? !
There was a burst of astonishment in his heart, and he could only watch the boulder fall.

Long Chengfei, who was a few steps away from him, did not take any action, but cast a probing look.

Seeing that Xiao Ming was just standing there, he thought he was frightened, so he frowned.

Could it be that their previous speculations were all wrong?

Xiao Ming stood where he was, watching the huge boulder getting closer and falling towards him, his legs didn't listen to him at all.

He gritted his teeth, cursed quickly in his heart, and subconsciously raised his hand to block it.

Just when the palms of their hands touched the rockery, several workers suddenly pulled the rope, and the boulder that had already fallen stopped in mid-air in an instant.
Several workers quickly worked together to pull the boulder back again.

Cold sweat broke out on Xiao Ming's forehead, and he felt lingering fear.

"Sorry, are you okay?"

Long Chengfei hurried over and asked, "I didn't expect them to be so sloppy!"

Xiao Ming looked at his right hand, only felt a little pain in the palm, shook his head and said: "It's okay, it's just scratched."

"That's good." Long Chengfei said angrily, "I'll train them well when I get back."

As he spoke, he yelled at several workers in the distance dissatisfied.

Xiao Ming said: "It's okay, I'm not injured, let's go in first."

Only then did Long Chengfei lead him to walk inside, but when he turned his head, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes where Xiao Ming couldn't see.

It wasn't an accident that the boulder fell down just now.

He intentionally made people wait here just to test Xiao Ming's ability.

Unexpectedly, he couldn't even hide from a stone, and he was frightened stupid.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like what grandpa said, he is a hidden person.

As soon as the two entered the living room, an old but very energetic voice came from inside.

"You are Xiao Ming, right? You were so frightened the first time you came here. When I turn around, I will discipline them well."

Hearing the sound, Xiao Ming turned his head to look, and saw an old man with gray hair and gray beard coming out energetically.

I saw that he was wearing a handicap undershirt, full of energy, with vigorous steps, very flexible, not at all like an old man of this age.

"Grandpa." Long Chengfei bowed slightly towards him in a well-behaved manner.

As soon as Xiao Ming heard it, he knew that he had guessed right. The person in front of him was the current patriarch of the Long family, Long Ao.

I remember reading it in a magazine before. Mr. Long should be over 100 years old now, but I didn't expect him to be so energetic.

"Little brother, are your hands alright?" Mr. Long asked with a smile.

As soon as Xiao Ming and Long Chengfei came in, he had been observing inside. Seeing that Xiao Ming was unable to dodge the boulder collapsing, and even tried to block the car with his hands, Long Ao felt in his heart. Also puzzled.

However, more than 80 years of experience than Long Chengfei told him that people should not be judged by their appearance.

Xiao Ming shook his head, and said casually: "The stone fell, they didn't expect it, it's none of their business, besides, I wasn't injured."

"That's good. If little brother Xiao gets hurt, I can't absolve myself of the blame."

After finishing speaking, he led Xiao Ming to sit down on a chair beside him, and asked, "I heard from Cheng Fei that you have a bottle from Tang Yao's period that you want to auction?"

"good."

Xiao Ming put the express box in his hand on the table.

Mr. Long glanced away, and a few traces of surprise flashed in Qingming's eyes, but he didn't ask.

Xiao Ming remembered what he was thinking when he walked in just now, and said first: "It is true that this earthenware bottle of mine can be auctioned at the Long Family's auction, but you must first agree to my request."

When Mr. Long heard it, his eyes flashed, and he looked at Xiao Ming with a little more appreciation.

"Before seeing the auction item, I made a request first. It seems that little brother Xiao is very confident in his collection."

Xiao Ming calmed down.

"If you don't have confidence, you won't bring it to the old man."

Mr. Long looked at him with constricted eyes.

It took a while to laugh, and he said heartily: "Okay, what is the condition, you can tell me."

Xiao Ming opened his mouth and said: "Whether it is this auction or other cooperation in the future, no matter whether the auction is successful or not, except for me, Mr. Long and Long Cheng, no one can know that these things are provided by me, and they must not expose me. name and identity."

When Old Man Yao heard it, he immediately understood the meaning hidden in Xiao Ming's words.

In other words, it is very likely that he has not only the current bottle, but also other collections...

He had read Xiao Ming's information before, and with his background, it was impossible to come up with a worthy collection.

Could it be that he is so confident that the bottle in his hand must be genuine, and will he agree?
