<>This charity banquet was held by Beichengzf.

The banquet was held in the first floor banquet hall of a five-star hotel. Those who could be invited were either rich or noble, powerful, and powerful people in the North City.

When Su Mian appeared at the door of the banquet hall with Zhong Nanqin's arm in his arms, the originally lively hall slowly calmed down.

Everyone's eyes gathered. This was the first time Su Mian participated in such a venue.

She immediately became nervous when she was stared at by so many people.

Zhong Nanqin seemed to feel her nervousness, raised his hand, took her hand holding his arm down, and wrapped it in the palm of his hand.

He whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid."

His palms were big and hot, and she was wrapped in his palm.

Suddenly, the nervousness dissipated a lot.

Taking a deep breath, she gently pulled the corners of her lips, and a slight smile appeared on her face.

Zhong Nanqin looked at her, held her hands, and the speed on her feet was slow but elegant.

Soon, someone surrounded him.

Zhong Nanqin stopped, let go of the hand that was originally holding her, but instead hugged her slender waist.

Perhaps because he was afraid that others would meet her, Zhong Nanqin held her halfway in his arms.

Su Mian didn't move, just stayed by his side obediently, listening to him telling some polite words to those people, alienated but not polite.

Someone looked at Su Mian and asked with interest, "It's rare to see Mr. Zhong bring a female companion. Today, this beautiful lady, don't you introduce it to us?"

Zhong Nanqin raised his eyes and looked at the other person, then lowered his eyes to the quiet and well-behaved girl beside him.

Her eyes were deep and her thin lips were slightly opened, "Her name was Su Mian."

In four simple words, she only said her name.

But let everyone know that this girl named Su Mian is definitely not just Zhong Nanqin's female companion.

At exactly 8 o'clock in the evening, the charity banquet officially began.

Everyone went to another auction hall, where four precious antiques will be sold tonight.

All the money obtained from the auction will be donated to poor and backward mountainous areas to build schools and provide for living supplies.

Su Mian followed Zhong Nanqin in the best position in the audience, looked at the auction table above, and opened her eyes wide in curiosity.

She had only watched the auction on TV before.

She has never seen such a high-end auction like today.

I was expectant and curious.

What I expect is that she has always been very interested in ancient things, and she feels that the treasures left by our ancestors that have been settled and flowed for thousands of years have brought a mysterious power.

Soon, the first auction item was taken up...org Yawen

It is a calligraphy and painting, a painting by a master of the Ming Dynasty, with a starting price of 400,000 yuan.

Although Su Mian does not know calligraphy and painting, the paintings of masters of the Ming Dynasty should be at least one million, right?

When the auction began, someone soon shouted for a price of 500,000.

Then someone paid 600,000, 700,000, and 800,000...

The bidding was very fierce, and Su Mian watched the painting soar from the starting price of 400,000 to 2 million.

She didn't pay attention to someone in the end and she kept sighing...

In the world of rich people, she, the poor, really doesn't understand.

She secretly glanced at the man sitting beside her, and he had never spoken since the moment she sat down.

Looking at the auction table with deep eyes, he seemed not interested in the calligraphy and paintings just now. He was still indifferent to the fierce bidding of others.

The second auction item was also presented.

This is a cloisonne enamel incense burner, an imperial treasure of the Qing Dynasty, with a starting price of 800,000 yuan.

Su Mian looked at the incense burner and couldn't help but think, "Is it for the imperial use of the Qing Dynasty?"

Which emperor of the Qing Dynasty used it?

Is it Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng or Qianlong?

Because he had just watched a time travel drama a few years ago, Su Mian loved Emperor Yongzheng in it very much.

She couldn't help but fantasize whether this could be used by Yongzheng...

She was thinking about it here and there, and the auction was fierce.

In the end, he was won by a man for a high price of four million.

When Su Mian heard the price, she couldn't help but want to look back and see who is so rich.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his head was tilted back, a big hand suddenly reached over and grabbed the back of her head.

The next second, Zhong Nanqin's low voice came, "Sit honestly, don't move around."

......

Su Mian raised her eyes and looked at him, then sat upright, and looked back at the auction table.

The third auction item was presented, which was a Song Dynasty red sandalwood Taishi chair.

Su Mian looked at the chair and was funny. Can I sit on this chair after I bought it?

I'm afraid no one wants to take pictures!

But in the end, the chair became the target of many people's bidding, with the starting price of 500,000 yuan, and the final price of 3 million yuan was sold.

Su Mian felt that following Zhong Nanqin was really open to her eyes.

The last one, and the finale, is an ebony hairpin.

What is amazing is the budding magnolia at the top of the hairpin, with a blue-white color, and tender yellow stamens inside.

Su Mian's eyes were straightened.

The eyes were full of stunning.

What a nice view!

Zhong Nanqin raised his eyes and glanced at her, and the auction just began.

The starting price of 600,000 yuan soared to 4 million yuan.

When the price is stuck at four million, no one dares to raise a sign again.

When the host beats the hammer, he shouts, "Four million once, four million twice..."

Suddenly, a low and mellow voice interrupted the host's shouting, "Five million."

The voice came from around him.

Su Mian turned her head and looked at Zhong Nanqin holding a bidding sign beside her, and was a little surprised.

She thought he wasn't interested in the auction stuff.

It turned out that what he had been waiting for was the hairpin.

Does he have a hobby for collecting women's hairpins?

This hobby is quite special.

......

After the auction, the hotel prepared a sumptuous Yanshi for the guests in the restaurant.

But Zhong Nanqin did not stay for dinner. After taking Su Mian out of the hotel, he drove himself and took Su Mian to a private house for dishes.

This private restaurant is deep in an alley, and Su Mian follows Zhong Nanqin, walking crookedly in her dress and seven-inch high heels.

Finally, he stopped in front of a half-covered wooden door, Zhong Nanqin reached out and pushed open the door and walked in.

Su Mian followed behind, and after entering, he found that there was another world inside.

The yard is very large, surrounded by corridors, mountains, rocks, green bamboos, and various flowers form a quiet and elegant landscape painting.

It's very quiet here, with people occasionally saying whispering, without a trace of noise.

A young man wearing a small coat came up and bowed to Zhong Nanqin and Su Mian, "Mr. Zhong, are you here? Are you old?"

"Um."

"Please, please."

The young man led the way in front, while Zhong Nanqin walked behind.

He took a few steps but stopped again. Looking at Su Mian who had fallen several steps, he didn't say anything and waited quietly for her to come to the front.

He reached out and held her little hand, wrapped it in his palm, and slowly walked forward with her.

Su Mian struggled and said in a low voice, "Let go."
