Chapter 41: Treasure Appraisal Conference
Time passes by, time is always fleeting, and the years are coming to an end.
On this day, Yu Feihong, a jade carving master from Yangzhou, called and said that the treasure appraisal conference at the end of the year in Shencheng was about to begin, and asked him when he would be there.
After Cai Hongming told him about the time, he prepared two clothes, then told his family, then boarded a plane and headed for Shencheng.
As soon as he got off the plane, he saw snow dancing all over the sky, and a cold breath came, making him shivering.
The weather in southern Fujian was not very cold. When Cai Hongming came, he only wore a sweater and a coat. He didn't expect it to be so cold here. Fortunately, he has recently entered the dark energy and is full of energy and blood. He is not as afraid of the cold as before, otherwise he would have shrunk long ago.
When he walked out of the station, he felt something. When he looked forward, he saw Shi Wan'er standing in the hall with her brows frowned and staring at this side. For a moment, his heart was filled with emotion.
"Didn't you tell me not to come?" Cai Hongming walked up to him and said.
"I'm going to come." Shi Wan'er glared at him and walked up to take Cai Hongming's hand angrily. But she thought to herself: Do I want to tell you that I miss you? Impossible.
The two walked out hand in hand, and Shi Wan'er's best friend Yi Yi drove outside to wait.
Cai Hongming got into the car and greeted her. The two of them were already familiar with each other. Yi Yi nodded without saying a word and drove away from the airport.
Knowing that he was coming, Shi Wan'er had already booked a room in the hotel. After Yi Yi sent the two to the hotel, she looked very flickered. However, when she left, there was a hint of teasing in Shi Wan'er's eyes. Shi Wan'er didn't care what she thought, she was going to be with Cai Hongming at night.
Last month, her mother had already combined the two with her mother and decided to get married. If there is no accident, it will be the end of next year.
It can be said that the two are already husband and wife, but they have not received any treatment yet. After settling in the hotel, they had a shameless cat and said lingering love words in the room.
"Do you miss me?" Cai Hongming asked, holding Shi Wan'er.
"Who misses you, hum," Shi Wan'er said proudly, lifting her chin.
"Oh, then why is your heart beating so fast?"
"Who is getting faster, where are you grabbing? Ah..."
After a few times of clouds and rain, the two of them snuggled up and lay on the bed.
"Are you going home for the New Year?" Cai Hongming asked, smelling the fragrance between Yi Ren's hair.
"Well," Shi Wan'er closed her eyes and lay comfortably in his arms, responding softly.
"Where are you going to play during the Spring Festival?"
"The weather is so cold, of course I'm watching TV at home. Where else can I go?"
"Why go to our place? I'll take you to fish and climb the mountain. You can bring your household registration book at home, we will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register, get the marriage certificate, so that we can save time and have to come back."
"Well... I'll think about it again." Shi Wan'er hesitated.
"What else do you think, that's it." Cai Hongming said domineeringly.
"Yeah." It's already reached this point, what else can she say.
The treasure appraisal conference had not yet begun. Cai Hongming arrived a few days in advance, just to talk to Shi Wan'er and tell each other about this unseen love. When it was approaching the treasure appraisal conference, Yu Feihong and his family rushed over. In the evening, the group had a meal in the hotel. Mr. Yu told him some precautions for the treasure appraisal conference to avoid making mistakes.
This treasure appraisal conference is not something that ordinary people can enter. Except for the treasure holder, they must have a rich status. Everyone who enters must verify their identity repeatedly to avoid accidents.
Because at that time, every treasure in the treasure appraisal conference will be value-sharing, so you have to be careful.
The treasure appraisal conference was held in a British-style building on the Bund. Cai Hongming brought Shi Wan'er and Mr. Yu and his group to the place. He saw banners flying around, countless luxury cars and antique cars parked, as well as some government vehicles. The surrounding area was full of gun security personnel, which looked very tight.
When you go in, you have to swipe your ID card, or you have to take a picture of it and go to the database for review. If you are not on the invited list, you will be denied entry.
Fortunately, the information of their group had been submitted earlier, otherwise it would be another trouble to go in.
As soon as he entered, Cai Hongming was stunned by the countless antique treasures placed in the hall. Antique treasures shone brightly under the lights, and various colors were dazzling, or contained in essence, or simple and grand, making people dazzled.
Suddenly, Cai Hongming was stunned when he saw that there were actually floors made of gold bricks under his feet. He was shocked. How much gold does it cost!
"Don't look at it, it's not gold." Yu Feihong saw him like this, but he didn't know what he was thinking, so he said from the side.
"No...it's not gold, it's impossible!" Cai Hongming didn't believe it, and he looked like gold no matter how he looked.
"Why am I lying to you? But it's not that there is no gold at all, it's just that the gold content is very small, most of it is copper and some other metals."
"Oh. But even if it's not gold, this thing is very valuable." After all, it's so big.
“That’s.”
The group walked and looked, and soon came to the Emperor Saint of the Monkey King carved by Master Yu. Although Cai Hongming had seen the photos of the Emperor Saint of the Monkey King earlier, there must be a gap between the photos and the facts. Now, when he saw them, he couldn't help but be stunned. The Emperor Saint of the Monkey King held a Guan knife in his hand and stroked his long beard with a smile on his face, but showed a sense of majesty, and his eyes were radiant, which made people intimidated.
Cai Hongming has seen many statues of Emperor Guan Sheng, but none of them have ever been as vivid as the one in front of him, as if they were alive. Master Yu's craftsmanship is really amazing.
Emperor Guan Sheng is very respected among the people and has seen many people. They stayed for a while and then turned elsewhere.
Every antique treasure placed here is covered in glass. If anyone wants to take it out, he can only tell the staff here that the staff will swipe the card to remove the glass cover and let people get started.
The treasure appraisal conference lasted for three days. The first two days mainly made people appreciate the things inside, and the third day was the auction of those antiques and treasures that were intentionally taken.
On the afternoon of the treasure appraisal conference, Cai Hongming and Shi Wan'er separated from Yu Feihong and the others and went to see the things inside by themselves. In two days, he and Shi Wan'er looked at everything inside and met Yu Feihong's friend, the jade merchant Weng Kaizhi, whom he met last time. This time he brought an old man who identified antiques, and it seemed that he wanted to buy something. Cai Hongming greeted him, said a few words, and continued to walk to other places. What he didn't expect was that he actually met a fat man who went to the northwest to purchase medicinal materials here, Ruan Tian??.
