Chapter 158: Unwritten Rules
A look of apology quickly flashed across the man's face, "I'm really sorry. I have a shortcoming. I tend to be too absorbed in looking at things. Just don't mind."
Chi Ying chuckled . He shook his head.
At the same time, his eyes fell on the table calmly.
Her pupils suddenly widened, and a look of surprise quickly flashed across her face.
Isn't the painting on the table the same painting that He Chaoci left behind in the shop?
Manman's master actually likes her so much?
It's so fascinating to watch.
Seeing that Chi Ying's eyes had been falling on the painting on the table, the man also followed her gaze.
The man suddenly chuckled and placed his hands on the painting. Then, he raised his hands slightly and slowly placed them on the painting.
The man wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and he would reach out to push the frame from time to time.
His eyes were fixed on the painting on the table, and he said word by word: "Ever since Manman brought me this painting, I will look at it every day."
For some reason, Mr. Chi Ying It felt like there was something wrong with the other party's voice.
There seems to be a hint of dullness that is not easy to detect.
After the man paused, he added: "At first, this painting was very normal. The paper is indeed from today, but based on my many years of experience, these handwriting and ink are definitely from Nanxia."
As he spoke, He tapped his fingers on the table.
A flash of doubt flashed through his eyes, "But I recently discovered a very strange problem. As the days go by, the paper seems to be integrated with the painting."
Chi Ying frowned, a little puzzled. Looking at the middle-aged man.
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something in her mind, and her expression suddenly became inexplicable.
It seems that Manman's master likes this painting very much.
If he knew that the person who created this painting was sitting outside the tea room at the moment, he didn't know what the other person would think.
Seeing Chi Ying's confused look, Lan Manman quickly stepped forward and spoke appropriately, "Master, my friend is a complete novice in this area and doesn't know anything. If you have anything, you can ask her directly.
" The young man nodded. He naturally knew such basic things.
In their circle, there is an unwritten rule.
If you fall in love with something because it wants to meet its original owner, then you cannot mention how it came from.
The middle-aged man seemed to realize that he had not served him well. He smiled sheepishly, raised his head and looked at Chi Ying, stretched out his hand and pointed to the side, "Everyone, sit down."
Chi Ying then stepped in front of Lan Manman . After a while he sat down.
The man subconsciously reached out and pushed the frame. The next second, he moved the painting to the side and spread it flat on the table.
The man narrowed his eyes and covered up all the thoughts in his eyes.
He looked at Chi Ying with a smile and said, "I wonder if this little friend still has something like this at home. If so, I don't think so."
Before Chi Ying could answer, he continued, "No. I don’t know if I have such luck, and of course I don’t want to embarrass you. But I really like this painting.”
Chi Ying’s eyes dimmed, even though she had received a lot of money from He Chaoci so far. silver jewelry.
But there will never be anything like this painting again.
Thinking of this, she shook her head quickly.
A trace of disappointment flashed across the man's face, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "It's okay, if not, then there won't be."
Lan Manman was sitting quietly aside, but at this moment, a trace of suspicion flashed across his face.
Before letting Chi Ying come, Master told her that she had something important to talk to Chi Ying.
But looking at Master, it doesn't look like there's anything important going on.
Seeing that the other party was still immersed in his own disappointment, Lanmanman quickly cleared his throat and coughed lightly, "Master."
The middle-aged man quickly reacted and quickly put his thoughts back.
"By the way, I specially asked you to make a trip today. Actually, there is something I want to tell you."
Chi Ying couldn't help but sit up straight.
"There will be an auction in three days. The prices at this auction will be extremely high, so I want to ask if you still have any old objects there? If so, they can be unveiled at this auction. I believe you will. Get the number you want."
After a pause, he continued: "When I learned that this auction was going to be held, I thought of you immediately." As soon as
the other party finished speaking, Chi Ying's whole body was shocked . He was stunned for a moment, a flash of hesitation quickly flashed across his face, and he looked very confused.
Seeing this, the man didn't panic and just waited quietly.
After all, some people are very careful about things like this and don't want to take these things out.
After all, it is your own personal belongings.
When he is not sure of the other party's wishes, every additional word he says may cause the other party to resent him.
He couldn't help but look at Lan Manman aside, and saw that Lan Manman looked very normal.
He slowly relaxed his mind.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and suppressed the thousands of thoughts in his mind.
For a moment, the space was very quiet, with only the sound of the clock hand ticking.
Suddenly, Chi Ying raised her head suddenly. She seemed to have made some kind of determination and looked at the person in front of her steadily, "I still have some things here, but I don't know the value. If I just get them at the auction rashly, Go ahead, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among everyone."
Seeing that this was Chi Ying's worry, the man immediately smiled.
He took out a book from the bag on the side and placed it on the table, then pushed the book in front of Chi Ying.
He chuckled and said: "You can rest assured that all items that can enter the auction house will be verified by many people in advance before entering. But since you will add the items under my name, I will naturally also I will take responsibility for you to the end, so you don’t have to worry about it at all.”
Chi Ying nodded in understanding. It seemed that the auction the other party was talking about this time was not much different from the last one.
Although she did see some auction items at the last auction in Haicheng.
But that auction was specially organized by someone with a heart.
The auction items displayed were naturally insignificant things.
That kind of highly purposeful auction must be fundamentally different from other normal auctions.
Now she still has a large box of gold and silver jewelry at home, such as broken silver, silver ingots, gold leaves, etc. She knows them all.
But some square and blocky things were beyond her scope of cognition.
Something as valuable as this naturally requires professional judgment by professionals.
