Tomb robber: Tuantuan, I am a national treasure!

"Xianfeng Yongzi"

"The chess pieces are hard and smooth, as delicate as jade, and feel comfortable when touched. When a black piece is held up to the light, it looks like a dark jadeite with a green ring around the edge; while a white piece is held up to the light and looks like ivory, the most lustrous and delicate in the world."

Just listening to the host's description is enough to see the specialness of this set of chess pieces.

The more Jinnian listened to it, the better it seemed to him. It would definitely be a good small gift.

Qi Tiezui wanted to try his hand at it, as he had never seen such advanced chess pieces before.

"It is said that Yongzi has a strong body and a soft mind, is bright but not dazzling, has a simple appearance, is restrained and dignified, is mellow in touch, and is warm in winter and cool in summer."

"It's a good choice for people who play chess."

"I've never heard of Jiu Ye having Yong Zi. This is indeed a good idea!"

Qi Tiezui gave Jinnian a thumbs up.

"Now begins the auction of 'Xianfeng Yongzi'."

Jinnian and his friends came down late and sat at table number nine. When he saw Qi Tiezui nod, he raised his sign directly.

"Table nine, once."

Jinnian stared at the chess piece that was turned in front of them. It was indeed beautiful.

"South red agate, Huanglong jade, jadeite, amber............"

“It’s all good stuff.”

"See if anyone is holding it up, take it down! Don't worry, Master Ba is here to support you!"

Qi Tiezui was not nervous, but Jinnian's palms were sweating from nervousness. He held the sign, ready to raise it a second time, or even a third time, or a fourth time... After all, the competition in the first two rounds was very fierce.

The first was a war between women, and the second was a competition between businessmen.

"Is anyone else raising the price?"

"Three, two, one!"

"Congratulations to Table Nine for winning our third collection!"

"Congratulations!"

Looking at the chess pieces being sent to the table, Jinnian was still confused.

"Oh wow, are we so lucky?"

Jinnian poked the box containing the chess pieces in confusion.

“Is there no one competing with us?”

Qi Tiezui patted his shoulder and said, "Little boy, wouldn't it be better if there was no competition? You don't have to spend more money."

"What? Do you need me to go to the next table and stir up some trouble so I can have a fierce competition with you?"

“Ugh…no no!”

Qi Tiezui looked at the two white jade jars inside, picked up a box, held it up, and observed it in front of his eyes.

"Hey, really, this black spot looks like ink, but it looks different under the light, like emerald."

Under the light, the sunspot was emerald green all over, like a piece of fine gem.

"Oh, we really bought something good, and no one is competing with us for it. Master Jiu must be so happy now."

After the auction, someone would come to collect the money from them. Qi Tiezui calculated that he wouldn't even need to pay for it. The chips that Jin Nianying won would be enough to pay for Yongzi.

Hiss, he is really a lucky star... Although this kind of chess piece, a literati's thing, has always been unpopular among businessmen, officials, and ladies, and is quite unpopular, but it is indeed a bit outrageous that there is no competitor.

Qi Tiezui could only attribute this to the fact that no one present was interested in these things, and by the way, he sighed that it was fortunate that he brought the young master with him.

Since there was no competition, the price of this piece of collection was much lower than the first and second pieces, and was only a fraction of their prices.

In fact, the reserve price of the auction items is not earth-shattering, but it is expensive because of the competition among various parties and the mutual price increases.

As for tomorrow’s finale, the price is beyond the imagination of this group of people now.

Jinnian touched the chess piece. It was round and smooth, and cool to the touch, perfect for playing with in the hand.

He gently closed the lid and placed it between the two of them.

Since no one is bidding higher with them and they still have some money left from their winnings, can they buy another one?

Qi Tiezui knew what he was thinking when he saw him counting the money in the bag.

"Oh, no need to look at it. How can Master Ba not know what you are thinking about? Let me guess... Sanniang? Fairy?"

Jinnian's eyebrows were curved, and his neck was flushed red with excitement.

"Let me take a look... Actually, the first piece, 'Golden Branches and Jade Leaves', is quite suitable, but it's a pity that it was bought by someone else."

But judging from the attitudes of the twins and the woman, they were not likely to win the fight. Their goal was to pick out a good gift to take back, not to save face.

As a warm-up for tomorrow's auction, there are quite a lot of things to choose from. Tomorrow's items are not something that these unknown people can afford now, which also ensures that they don't go home empty-handed.

"how about this?"

"White Jade Begonia Ring."

"A white jade bracelet with red tint."

"What a coincidence, these two were filmed together?"

"Wouldn't it be possible to get double the money if we filmed them separately? Why would you want to put these two together?"

This bracelet-shaped pendant is made of Khotan white jade, which is smooth and delicate, with red stains in some parts. It is roughly in the shape of an oval thick piece and is carved all over.

"Hey, little Jinnian, did you see this? If I call it a bracelet-shaped pendant, you may not understand it. Let's change the name to a heart-shaped pendant. Isn't it easier to understand?"

"Because this jade pendant is similar to the shape of a chicken heart, with one end rounded and the other pointed. The front is flat and the back is concave. There is a round hole in the middle. There are rolling cloud patterns on the surface. The outer periphery of the main body is carved with three dragons of different sizes and shapes."

"This, I think it's appropriate to give it to Sanniang. Sanniang is really amazing. If she is given a chance, she will definitely lead the Huo family to a higher level."

"There's also a crabapple ring here, which is also very beautiful."

"Haitang, Haitang...it's suitable for the fairy lady."

Qi Tiezui glanced at Jinnian meaningfully and handed him the album.

Jinnian took the album from Qi Tiezui's hand. The pictures in the album were carefully taken and were extremely clear, so clear that one could even see the inscriptions engraved on it.

"Actions come before words, and the body comes after things."

This ring is made of Khotan white jade with a warm and delicate texture. The overall shape is a crabapple flower with four petals. The inner circle is consistent with the outer shape. The surface of the object is finely polished and has a thick patina.

The most important thing is that these two are sold together. Qi Tiezui felt it was unfair for them when he saw them being put in the same box.

The meaning is quite fitting. There are even words engraved on the box, with the inscription: Do not change your ambition because of a high position; do not burden your spirit because of honor or disgrace.

In fact, Qi Tiezui also felt the recent unrest. In Changsha City, there was a turmoil and even the Nine Gates were making some small movements. If the fairy accepted the gift, her little head, which was exactly the same as Jinnian's, might just be concerned with being happy. However, Sanniang was different.

Seeing this sentence on the gift box, she couldn't help but think too much. She didn't think it was Jinnian, but she would probably think of Master Fo or Master Erye. This was exactly what Qi Tiezui was talking about. The Huo family has been stretching their hands too far recently.

However, Qi Tiezui glanced at Jinnian, who was happy to have a gift to give, and stuffed a grape into his mouth with a guilty conscience.

Little fool, Master Ba needs to lend you a hand!

Jinnian even pointed out the pattern on it and praised its beauty. The more Qi Tiezui listened, the more guilty he felt. He told Jinnian not to worry, and he would make up for it if the money was not enough later.

Jinnian was kept in the dark and had no idea that there were so many things to pay attention to when giving a gift. She didn't even notice that there were words engraved on the box. At most, she saw the words on the jade pendant in the picture.

But it wouldn't matter if he knew. At most he would just kick Qi Tiezui who had ulterior motives.

When it comes to the auction, this time it may be the more common and attractive jade pendant styles that are no longer ignored.

What surprised Jinnian was that it was the woman at table number five who was competing with them.

The twins and the officer at table number six didn't look at the rest after bidding on the first item. They probably wanted to save some budget for tomorrow's auction.

The woman at table number five also didn't move her sign after she called out the price for the first time.

The tables ahead had already taken down several pieces of collection, and they didn’t seem to be very interested in the jade pendant.

"Table nine, twice!"

"................"

"Table five, four times!"

The woman didn't hesitate at all and shouted loudly. Almost as soon as Jinnian and the others finished shouting, the maid next to them started raising signs.

There are two items inside, so it seems understandable that it is called more times.

Qi Tiezui winked at Jinnian and said, "What are you afraid of? Hey, don't you still have me? What are you afraid of!"

Jinnian felt a little hot, and was overwhelmed by the constantly warm atmosphere at the scene. Sweat began to appear on her forehead, and the sweat flowed down along her white hair. Hearing what Qi Tiezui said, Jinnian licked her dry lips, turning them a rouge-like red, and then continued to hold up the sign.

No, if that doesn’t work...he will just take out his own little piggy bank.

Jinnian was still wearing the flower that Qi Tiezui had put there on her head out of spite, but it was not the one from this morning, but the one that Qi Tiezui had picked from the vase before leaving the room just now.

There is a pink crabapple on his head, quietly staying on Jinnian's head, which matches his lip color very well.

The noble lady looked up and saw that the person bidding with her was a young boy who was more beautiful than a flower. She suddenly raised her hand and the maid who had been holding the sign suddenly stopped bidding.

A soft voice floated over, without any emotion.

"You are not suitable for Haitang."

Jinnian was startled, then realized that she was talking to him and responded politely.

"I gave it as a gift."

The woman raised her head and looked in the direction of Jinnian. Since there had been no further action for a long time, the host had assumed that table number nine had taken the photo of the item.

The woman didn't seem to have any regrets at all. She stood up and walked towards Jinnian.

Jinnian first took the two jade pendants brought by the host, gently closed the box, and put it together with Yongzi. When he looked up, he saw the woman approaching, so he looked at Qi Tiezui for help.
