Chapter 274 Sooner or Later
"Yunxi, don't worry. Everyone in my family is easy to get along with. If you marry me, there won't be any trouble at all."
Even if there is, he will help her deal with it.
Zhou Shiyan said softly. His voice was gentle but firm, as if he wanted to reassure An Yunxi.
An Yunxi glared at him when she heard that, "Who said I wanted to marry you?"
She is only 19 years old, in the prime of her youth, she doesn't want to get married so early.
Zhou Shiyan looked at the woman in his arms, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a doting smile.
He gently half-hugged An Yunxi in his arms, then lowered his head and gently kissed her pink cheek.
"It's only a matter of time!"
He murmured in a low voice, his tone revealing an unquestionable determination.
This was not at home. An Yunxi's face suddenly turned red to her ears. She turned her head away shyly, not daring to look him in the eye.
However, she couldn't help but feel a sweet feeling in her heart.
But on the surface, she still said proudly, "Humph!"
The auction was about to begin, so the two stopped talking about this topic and started to focus their attention on the auction.
This auction is Ruili's autumn auction in 2017. It is large in scale and attracts much attention.
The auction items cover a wide range of fields, including Chinese calligraphy and painting, Asian 20th century and contemporary art, porcelain crafts, classical furniture, and fine jewelry and watches.
The five major sections bring together Chinese and foreign art treasures, totaling more than 2,000 items.
Of course, not all of these 2,000 lots will be sold in Beijing tonight.
The auction will last for a period of time and will be held in different sessions and locations.
This arrangement not only increases the diversity of the auction, but also gives more collectors and enthusiasts the opportunity to participate.
Some collectors are so obsessed with their favorite collections that they are even willing to fly to other cities to attend auctions just to get the treasure they have longed for.
However, An Yunxi did not have such enthusiasm and interest.
She is not keen on participating in such fierce competition because she believes that fate is predestined and what is meant to come will always come.
Of course, after looking at the catalogue and the preview, An Yunxi already had a rough idea of what would be auctioned at this auction.
It’s just that An Yunxi had not planned to attend this auction before.
Even if she had plans, she didn't think it necessary to come and see it in advance.
Just check the auction list in advance, and then come a little early on the day of the auction to take a general look.
Anyway, when she buys something, she mainly considers whether she likes it or not.
As long as you like it, it’s just a matter of money.
When it comes to money, how many people can compete with her?
In the blink of an eye, the auction officially began.
First up is a group of 20th century and contemporary artworks.
The works cover a wide range of styles and forms, including painting, sculpture, woodwork, etc.
Although they are all contemporary artworks, they attract the attention of many collectors with their unique artistic charm.
For these things, An Yunxi mainly looks at the appearance and whether they are pleasing to the eye, but she does not appreciate many of the abstract aesthetics of contemporary artists.
Therefore, An Yunxi did not have much interest in this section.
However, when a Suzhou embroidery work titled "Misty Jiangnan" appeared on the screen, An Yunxi immediately sat up straight and quickly picked up the tablet in her hand.
This Suzhou embroidery work is from Suzhou embroidery master Zhang Yuping.
The patterns are exquisite, the colors are fresh and elegant, and through delicate needlework and rich layering, it vividly shows the softness and agility of the Jiangnan water town.
The flowing water under the small bridge and the smoke from the houses, everything seems so lifelike, as if one is standing in the misty water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
An Yunxi has a special liking for this kind of elegant and artistic work.
Zhou Shiyan noticed An Yunxi's reaction, and he immediately understood that this was what the little girl liked.
So he also picked up his tablet and prepared to participate in the bidding.
However, at this moment, An Yunxi, who noticed Zhou Shiyan's actions, suddenly turned around, glared at him fiercely, and warned: "Don't do anything!"
She came here today with the purpose of spending money and using her cashback card, so how could she let others do it?
Besides, if they compete among themselves, someone else will take advantage of them, which is not acceptable.
Zhou Shiyan paused as he was about to bid on the tablet.
He glanced at the girl and met her expression of disapproval. He knew that the girl was serious, so he could only put the tablet down regretfully and spread his hands to show that he was obedient and would not take action.
Only then did An Yunxi look away and began to participate in the auction.
At this time, the bidding for this Suzhou embroidery work had reached 1.1 million.
An Yunxi thought about it, then directly entered 1.5 million and started bidding.
"1.5 million. Guest No. 19 in Room 10 bid 1.5 million. Anyone else want to add more money?"
"1.6 million. Guest No. 53 bids 1.6 million. Anyone else wants to add to the bid?"
An Yunxi was determined to get this work, so she raised the price to 2 million.
In the end, An Yunxi bought this Suzhou embroidery work for 2.2 million yuan.
