The two of them were busy, but they were busy all day.

"Let's go, why are you standing here in a daze?"

Seeing Qiu Mengyun standing there for a long time, Xia Tian reminded her.

"Ah? Oh, I'll go now, I'll go now." Qiu Mengyun came to her senses and quickly followed Uncle Li's steps.

After entering the basement, Qiu Mengyun looked around curiously.

"Xia Tian, ​​Uncle Li just fiddled with it and the ground opened up. Is this the kind of secret room that is often shown on TV? Are there any hidden mechanisms here, fire-breathing or arrow-shooting?"

Xia Tian tapped her head: "What are you thinking about all day long, this is just an ordinary basement. As for the exit of the basement, it is even simpler, and the principle is almost the same as the elevator door we take, the only difference is that this one is flat on the ground."

"Xiao Tian, ​​the best antiques in Hangzhou are all here, you two can take your time to choose!"

After arriving at the innermost secret room, Uncle Li pointed at the antiques on the shelves around him and said.

Xia Tian turned to look at Qiu Mengyun beside him: "Mengyun, what kind of antiques does Uncle Qiu like the most? Porcelain, calligraphy and painting, or?"

Qiu Mengyun said: "My father collects antiques as a hobby. If I have to choose, I may prefer calligraphy and painting."

Xia Tian nodded: "Okay, I understand."

After the voice fell, he walked straight to the shelf on the left, picked up a calligraphy and painting on the shelf and handed it to Qiu Mengyun.

"Uncle Li, I'll take this painting. Please register it later."

Uncle Li smiled and nodded: "No problem, is this one painting enough? The paintings over there are also good, and there are a few Yuan blue and white jars here that are also in good condition. Why don't you take a few more."

"After all, this is your first visit as a prospective son-in-law. Don't let people look down on you."

Before Xia Tian opened his mouth, Qiu Mengyun hurriedly shook her head and said: "Enough, enough. My dad doesn't really understand. He just follows others to pretend to be refined. No matter how much you give him, it's just that. As for the top-quality Yuan blue and white porcelain, it's even more unnecessary. It's a waste to give it to him. After all, it's wild..."

Realizing that it was not appropriate to say this about her father in front of outsiders, Qiu Mengyun stopped the rest of the words in time when she said the last sentence.

Xia Tian also smiled and said, "No need, Uncle Li, this one is enough. If you give too much this time, it will be troublesome to give gifts in the future."

Uncle Li nodded knowingly: "Well, you are right, I didn't think it through."

After walking out of the basement, Xia Tian asked, "Uncle Li, I remember you still have tea here, right? Mengyun's father also likes to drink tea, so you can help me pack some later, and you don't need to pack more than 2 taels."

Uncle Li nodded: "You go to the store in front and wait for me, I will help you get it now."

After Uncle Li left, Qiu Mengyun muttered softly: "It's not a precious thing, why not just give one catty, you don't have to worry about my dad saying you are stingy if you give two taels."

Xia Tian smiled bitterly and said, "I want to be generous, but Uncle Li probably doesn't have even one catty in total."

Qiu Mengyun suddenly realized: "That's right. When we came just now, Uncle Li was drinking tea in the back. He likes tea so much, so he must have a lot of tea at home."

"How about this, you keep these two taels of tea for yourself. After we leave the store, we will find a tea shop and buy a bag of good tea for my dad again."

Xia Tian shook his head: "No, these two taels are enough. Besides, didn't you persuade me before that this gift is a token of your thoughts!"

Qiu Mengyun agreed: "Okay! When we go back, if my dad asks you, don't say anything. I will say that I insisted that you buy two taels. He will definitely not have the heart to blame me."

Xia Tian could see that Qiu Mengyun didn't know much about tea, so he was too lazy to explain to her the difference between the mother tree Dahongpao in Wuyi Mountain and ordinary tea.

He said with a smile, "Thank you Miss Qiu for your righteous words. When we get to the Qiu family, it will be your territory. You have to protect me."

Qiu Mengyun patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, I have the final say in the Qiu family. As long as I am here, no one dares to embarrass you."

Soon, Uncle Li came out with a beautifully packaged gift box: "Xiaotian, keep it. When you are free in two days, remember to bring your girlfriend to my place to play."

Xia Tian nodded: "Don't worry, Uncle Li, I will treat everyone to a drink in two days."

After leaving Wangyuanzhai, Xia Tian took another taxi.

"Master, let's go to Jiangnan Auction House."

Qiu Mengyun asked in surprise: "Xia Tian, ​​why are you going to the auction house? You just got a painting from your uncle Li for free, and now you want to sell it at the auction house?"

"Tell me honestly, are you not satisfied with the painting from Uncle Li and want to sell this one to buy a better one?"

"I tell you that there is no need for that. You can fool my dad with any fake painting. It would be a waste to make it too good."

Xia Tian smiled and joked: "Why don't you just say that your dad is a wild boar who can't taste fine bran?"

"Puh, phuh! You are the wild boar, your whole family is wild boar."

Although this is what she wanted to express, she refused to admit Xia Tian's statement.

This guy is such a bastard, he actually said that her dad is a wild boar who can't taste fine bran. If her dad is a wild boar, then what is she?

"Okay, okay, I admit I was wrong, okay!"

"But this time I went to the auction house not to sell the paintings in my hand, but to find something there. After all, your father's gift is ready, but your mother's gift is not yet settled."

Xia Tian was too lazy to argue with her, and decisively admitted his mistake and told her the purpose of his visit.

Qiu Mengyun shook her head and said, "If you went there to buy a gift for my mother, I'm afraid it would be a wasted trip."

"You are not from Hangzhou, you don't know that the Jiangnan Auction House holds two auctions every week, and the time is every weekend. Today is only Wednesday, and it's useless for us to go there."

Xia Tian smiled and said, "Anyway, it's almost time, whether it's useful or not, let's go and take a look first!"

After entering the Jiangnan Auction House, two beautiful girls immediately came to greet them.

"Good morning, two distinguished guests, do you want to come here to send something for auction?"

Obviously, when they saw Qiu Mengyun holding a scroll in her hand, they thought it was for auction.

Xia Tian shook her head: "You are wrong, we don't sell anything. Please help inform your boss here, tell him that an old friend from Yu Nan is here, and invite him to come out and chat."

"May I know your last name, sir?"

"Xia."

"Okay, sir, I will inform you right away, please sit over there and wait."

It is obvious that the service here at the auction house is much better than that of the antique shop. Although she didn't think Xia Tian could know their boss, she still went to report very diligently.
