Accompanied by Eunuch Qin, they looked at the vase very quickly and soon arrived at their box. Eunuch Qin came in and bowed first, then smiled and said: "This porcelain is fragile. Please be considerate. It's best not to touch it. Everyone

If you want to see it, just ask the boy to turn it for you."

The boy first showed it to the old man sitting in the middle. After he waved his hand, he walked around again so that everyone could see the vase he was holding. During this process, he would turn the vase in his hand for everyone to see.

The peculiarity of this heart-turning bottle.

Everyone saw it clearly and were amazed.

Even Kang Yannian, who had previously lacked interest, became excited at this time and sighed: "It's so clever, so clever."

Gong Cheng is a technology geek and wants to take apart the two bottles and study them to see the mechanisms and methods inside.

The man named Xu Zhou on the stage has something to say. In order to express his friendship to his wife, the craftsman made the inner and outer porcelain bottles together and put them in the kiln to be fired together. In addition to the meaning of "changing one's heart", it also means "the husband and wife are of the same mind".

" means.

But without getting started, just looking at it like this, he didn't see anything at all.

This vase was so novel, and there was only one outside the palace. Gong Cheng also knew that his own assets and strength were not enough to compete with others.

He could only sigh with regret: "I wonder if the descendants of that craftsman can also make this kind of porcelain."

"Second Senior Brother, didn't you listen to what Xu Zhou said just now? No one can make this vase."

Xu Zhou just said that the craftsman lived in the previous dynasty and had been dead for many years. Their descendants had experienced war and had no livelihood, and they were unable to protect the two vases. They were afraid that they would be broken during the escape, so they took away the two treasured vases.

A vase was sold to someone else. By chance, the vase appeared at the auction.

Although I don’t know whether this story is true or not, but Xu Zhou dared to say this, it is impossible for the craftsman to make a revolving bottle again, otherwise, wouldn’t it be a slap in the face of the fifth prince?

Gong Cheng also understood this truth and couldn't help but sigh.

While they were talking, Eunuch Qin and the boy had already walked downstairs to show the guests.

There are rows of seats below, and the gap between the seats is quite large. It is very convenient to sit up and walk. Eunuch Qin and the boy are walking in a row without being crowded. They are not like in the box.

They will stop for a while. They are walking slowly and at a constant speed below, and the waiter is turning the outer vase in his hand, so that the guests can clearly see the exquisiteness and magic of this vase.

After walking around for a few times, the two of them arrived on the stage.

"Okay, now we are officially going to auction the vase. We invite the auctioneer Guan Wentao."

A pair of young men moved an auction table, followed by a thin middle-aged man.

He bowed to everyone: "I am Guan Wentao, and I will preside over today's auction."

As he spoke, he stood in front of the auction table, picked up a small hammer and struck a drum mounted on it: "The front is a pastel hollowed-out 'Four Seasons Landscape' revolving vase, with a base price of three thousand taels. No one can bid any more."

Less than one hundred taels. Start bidding now!" As he said that, he banged the drum hard.

The place became quiet for a moment.

Zhao Ruxi had already anticipated this situation and quickly called the boy at the door to come in: "Three thousand three hundred taels."

The boy nodded and ran out quickly.

Kang Jinlin asked his apprentice in surprise: "Do you like this bottle?"

Zhao Ruxi smiled and said: "I like it. But I just quoted a random price, and it will probably be surpassed soon. If I can't get it at this price, I won't buy it."

She didn't want this bottle, she just wanted to help Xiao Lingyan and act as a sitter to prevent the auction from being left in the dark.

That guy is not stupid, he must have arranged it. If nothing else, officials from the Second Prince's family will definitely raise the price. But she can help.

She smiled at everyone and said, "You can participate if you like it. It's just fun anyway. If you buy it at this price, you won't lose anything. If you can't buy it, you won't lose anything."

When Gong Cheng heard this, he looked at Zhao Ruxi eager to give it a try: "If the price I quoted was higher than yours, and I bought it, wouldn't Junior Sister be angry?"

Zhao Ruxi shrugged: "How can you be angry? The one with the highest price will get it. Besides, if Second Senior Brother buys it, it's okay to let me play with it for a while, right?"

"That's natural."

As Gong Cheng spoke, he called the messenger boy over and said, "The price is three thousand five hundred taels."

The boy was puzzled: "Sir, the price has been quoted to 3,600 taels."

When everyone heard it, they saw that the price was really being quoted. At this time, two young men said at the same time: "Three thousand eight hundred taels."

"Three thousand seven hundred taels."

Guan Wentao, who was on the stage, quickly interjected at the right time: "The one with the highest price shall prevail. If the price is lower than the quoted price without raising the sign in front, the boy does not need to make another bid."

The scene was slightly stagnant, but after a while the boys started running around again.

"Three thousand nine hundred taels."

"Four thousand taels."

When Zhao Ruxi saw the enthusiastic quotation below, her heart dropped to her stomach.

When the messenger boy saw Gong Cheng looking down the field with a dull expression, he couldn't help but ask: "Master Gong, do you still want to make an offer?"

Gong Cheng thought for a while: "Four thousand five hundred taels." If it weren't for this price, the price would have been exceeded before the boy even got there.

"Master Gong, wait a moment." Before the boy could finish his words, he had already rushed out the door.

Sure enough, the quotation went up again at this time: "Four thousand two hundred taels."

"Four thousand three hundred taels."

Finally, No. 11, who represented their box, raised his hand: "Four thousand five hundred taels."

Gong Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had completed the task, with a relaxed and happy smile on his face. Even though his quotation was quickly exceeded by the "four thousand seven hundred taels" from behind, there was no trace of frustration on his face.

.

Zhao Ruxi couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

The second senior brother looked so honest and honest, but he didn't expect that he turned out to be a wonderful person.

After laughing, she asked: "Second Senior Brother, how much money do you think this revolving bottle is worth based on the market price?"

The revolving vase sold in modern times fetched a sky-high price because it was an antique from the Qing Dynasty and was used by the emperor, with a high added value. She was not sure what the price of such a vase would have been in ancient times.

Gong Cheng thought for a while and said: "I just looked at it. The texture of this vase is white and delicate, the texture is transparent and thin, the glaze color is bright, and the lines are smooth and perfect. Such porcelain can only be made by porcelain masters. It has such texture.

, there is also a novel shape of turning the heart, and it is the only porcelain with this shape in the world. The other one was also presented to the palace. Under normal circumstances, it can be sold for five or six thousand taels of silver."

He pointed downstairs: "Now put it up for auction here. If you find two or three that you like or don't deal with, it can fetch seven, eight thousand or even higher."
