When they arrived, many people were already there.
Many people also bought things they liked and left.
Men Huigui met Mr. James, and after entering, Mr. James personally entertained them.
First I showed them around the house and pointed out which ones were the best and which ones were the worst.
Many people are looking at furniture and porcelain.
The furniture are all old huanghuali and mahogany furniture, and are also antiques left over from the Qing Dynasty.
James is a great collector.
Most of the porcelain was from the middle and late Qing Dynasty. She guessed that James had put away the good stuff and was about to take it away.
Even a copper washstand was put up for sale and sold smoothly.
Before I started picking things, I saw a big drama of fighting over the washbasin!
The washbasin with dragon relief pattern from the late Qing Dynasty is also amazing!
Mr. James spoke in a foreign language throughout the conversation. If he spoke slowly, she could still understand a little bit. But if he spoke quickly, it was still incomprehensible.
Men Huigui spoke a few more words to James, and then James left to greet the guests.
Doors return: "James said that everything here can be chosen."
Fang Zongtang curled his lips: "I want to see what he is going to take away?"
There is nothing that can be done about this matter.
Soon, everything of value was locked up.
She thought the trip was in vain when her eyes were attracted by an exquisite music box.
It was just an ordinary music box, but she pressed it and it still broke.
Men Huigui: "If you like music boxes, when you go back and pass by the department store, I will give you an identical one!"
Buy it specifically? No need!
This music box is shaped like an American castle. It’s bright blue and looks pretty nice.
My finger accidentally touched the bottom of the castle and found some burrs.
She turned the castle upside down.
Door returns: "The back should be where the batteries are."
She fumbled for a blade on her body and pried the lid open.
The door returns: "..."
"It's a place to store batteries. Unfortunately, it's been used to store other things." It looks like a letter!
A letter written in a foreign language, and written quite sloppily!
"Look, I can't understand this kind of foreign cursive writing!"
Men Huigui took the letter in a daze and went to find James immediately.
She looked around but didn't find anything good, so this trip was in vain.
Just when she wanted to go back, James and Men Hui came in hurriedly.
James was talking in a lot of foreign languages, but she only understood the two words "thank you".
Men Huigui quickly translated for her: "James thanks you for helping him find his grandma's relics!"
"The letter?"
The door returned and nodded.
James realized that she didn't understand him, and immediately said in an awkward native dialect: "Beautiful lady, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I would never know my grandma, and you would have left me precious things!"
Fang Zongtang smiled politely.
"You're welcome, it's just a coincidence!"
James just talked to Men Huigui for a few words and knew Fang Zongtang's preferences.
"I know who you are now. It's hard to understand why you like broken things!"
The door returns to remind: "It's broken porcelain."
She didn't explain this. She just smiled and accepted it.
James added, "A cousin of mine is going to hold a private auction at sea tomorrow. He likes to collect strange things. If you help me find my grandmother's relics, I will give you an invitation as a thank you. That private auction is not something that ordinary people can go to. I believe you will like it if you go!"
An ocean cruise auction sounds like something very high-end.
"Sure, that's exactly what I need!" she replied in the foreign language she had just learned.
On the way back, she asked for the doorman's return.
"What's written on that piece of paper?"
Men Huigui smiled and said: "James grew up with his grandmother, who died of a sudden illness without leaving him a single word. The letter on the letter asked James to stop drinking, eat more, dress warmly, go to horse racing less often, and spend more time at home with his family."
