Picked up a queen at the start

Chapter 238 Are You All Free?
After hearing this, Ji Qinglin smiled indifferently, all right, I don't bother to entangle with him.

"By the way, come on, let me introduce to you. This is Ji Qinglin. As I mentioned to you before, at the previous antique auction in the Magic City, you could spot the authentic Cheng Ziyuan at a glance."

Qi Yunnian turned around and introduced to his group of old buddies.

Those people were still wondering.

You said that Qi Yunnian is also a famous person in their antique collection circle.

Why rush to greet a young man, and seem to be very enthusiastic about him.

After hearing Qi Yunnian's introduction, everyone suddenly looked at Ji Qinglin with a sudden realization.

"Ji Qinglin? It turns out that you are the young man who spent 1 yuan to take a photo of Cheng Ziyuan's "Cloud Scenery in the Distant Mountains"."

"Oh, yes, you were the one who discovered the ice jade at the stone gambling party in the imperial capital before."

"I've heard of you before, but I didn't expect you to be so young!"

"Yeah, it's really scary for younger generations, awesome for younger generations!"

"That's not true. It is said that even Lao Qi didn't see the "Cloudscape of Distant Mountains"!"

Qi Yunnian: "."

Just talk when you say it, praise Ji Qinglin when you praise him, why are you so embarrassed!

Ji Qinglin smiled after hearing this, and then said lightly: "It's just good luck."

"Hey, you are so humble. You were lucky this time, but you could still be lucky twice or three times!"

"Yes, yes!"

Qi Yunnian on the side couldn't help but agree.

Then he turned to Ji Qinglin and said, "Okay, Ji Qinglin, don't be humble. I don't know what kind of luck you have."

After finishing speaking, Qi Yunnian directly pulled Ji Qinglin to sit down.

"Come, sit down first. If you have anything to say, sit down and talk later."

After Ji Qinglin pulled Xia Yao to sit down, he asked Qi Yunnian, "Are all of you antique collectors idle?"

Qi Yunnian: "???"

"Why do you ask that?"

"Then why did this New Year's Eve come to Shacheng and hold some kind of antique exchange meeting?"

Ji Qinglin asked sincerely, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has not even passed yet, and he has started to prepare for the antique exchange meeting.

Qi Yunnian glanced at him and said, "Do you still need to ask me about this? If you ask yourself, you will know."

"Ask me?".
Ji Qinglin looked at Qi Yunnian in confusion, and asked him what he was doing?

"Yes, aren't you also an antique collector? Are you not free?"

Qi Yunnian took a sip of tea and said in a leisurely manner.

Ji Qinglin couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. Indeed, those in their antique collecting business were quite leisurely.

While a few people were chatting, the antique auction gradually began.

"This time, together with many friends from the antique industry, I brought out a lot of treasures. When the time comes, if there is something you like, you can take it directly."

Qi Yunnian said to Ji Qinglin.

Ji Qinglin nodded. If he saw something valuable and the price was right, he would naturally take action.

Then, Ji Qinglin turned to Xia Yao and said, "If you see something you like later, just tell me."

"Why, you want to buy it and give it to me?"

Xia Yao glanced at Ji Qinglin and said, but she didn't lack such things, so there was no point in buying them back.

"Don't worry, it won't happen. I'll just ask someone to bring it over so you can take a closer look."

Ji Qinglin smiled and said deliberately teasing her.

"Ji Qinglin, you"

As soon as Xia Yao heard Ji Qinglin's words, she knew that he was playing tricks on her again, so she directly raised her hand, wanting to pat him.

As a result, before his hand could fall, it was directly held by Ji Qinglin.

"Okay, with so many people watching, you just want domestic violence!"

"Whoever wants domestic violence, it's obviously you who keeps teasing me."

Xia Yao curled her lips and muttered in a low voice.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. How about I take you to have hot pot tonight to make amends to you?"

Ji Qinglin squeezed Xia Yao's hand in his own, and said with a chuckle at the corner of his mouth.

Sure enough, when Xia Yao heard about the food, her anger immediately dissipated.

"This is what you said, don't go back on your word."

"When did I ever regret it to you?"

Ji Qinglin looked at her with a smile and said dotingly.

After hearing this, Xia Yao pursed her lips, and the corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily.

Qi Yunnian watched the interaction between the two, and quickly picked up the teacup beside him to take a sip of tea.

Really, at such an old age, he still showed affection in front of him!

When the time comes, if he can't stand being "tortured" by the two of them, be careful of him touching them.

The antiques at the antique exchange meeting this time were all taken from their own collections by Qi Yunnian and more than a dozen antique collectors.

The intention is to communicate with everyone, so that those who have never seen these antiques just have the opportunity to take a look.

And some of them are ready to sell, so if they meet someone who is interested, and the price is reasonable, they can trade directly.

After a while, this antique exchange meeting officially began.

A middle-aged man in a dark gray suit walked slowly to the front of the hall.

Then he said loudly, "It's a great honor to invite everyone to my manor this time to hold this antique exchange meeting."

Ji Qinglin took a sip of tea, from what he said, this person should be the owner of the manor.

In the next second, Qi Yunnian's words just confirmed Ji Qinglin's conjecture.

"This is Lao Zhao. Zhao Zhiming is also an old friend of mine. This antique exchange meeting was the first one he proposed."

Qi Yunnian introduced Ji Qinglin in a low voice.

Ji Qinglin nodded, that's it!
Then, I heard that Zhao Zhiming said with a smile.

"I won't say any more nonsense. Let's go straight to the antiques we have this time."

After Zhao Zhiming finished speaking, a staff member wearing a long-sleeved Chinese winter cheongsam came out with the first antique.

The staff wore special white gloves and carefully held the antiques in their hands.

Then he walked over slowly and steadily, placing the antiques in his hands in front of everyone in the hall one by one.

The first piece of antique is a clear clay inkstone with a square face. It is hard and wear-resistant, and it gets wet when you breathe it in. It is a well-known inkstone in history.

"This inkstone looks pretty good, but it's the first time I've seen a Chengni inkstone like this."

Xia Yao whispered to Ji Qinglin.

They Daqi also have Chengni inkstone, and speaking of it, this Chengni inkstone was invented by them in the early years of Daqi.

However, the Chengni inkstone in front of them is not quite the same as the Chengni inkstone when they were in Daqi.

"This Chengni Inkstone has undergone some modifications in production techniques and materials in the dynasties after Da Qi, so it is naturally different from when you were in Da Qi."
