Qing Lingzhi faints

The auction that Xiang Ruqiao took Pei Yinxi to was held in the conference hall of the largest five-star hotel in Kyoto.This is the spring auction held by Jiade Auction House, one of the world's largest auction houses, in Kyoto.An invitation-only exhibition has been held before the auction, and only collectors who are interested in the exhibition and pay a certain amount of money will finally be invited to enter the formal auction.

Xiang Ruqiao has a lot of research on artworks and antiques, and has already determined the intended auction item in her heart before, and when she arrived at the venue, she took Pei Yinxi to the seat familiarly.

Pei Yinxi was bored at first, and Xiang Ruqiao took two pieces of famous wine and a sculpture one after another. Pei Yinxi kept flipping through the catalog and asked Xiang Ruqiao: "Which one should I shoot? When will it end?"

At first, Xiang Ruqiao responded nicely, but after asking several times, Xiang Ruqiao's mood of buying, buying, and buying was ruined.He frowned angrily and said: "There are still a few pieces. If you are bored, you can sit in the lounge. There are some pictures, videos, etc. of the collection. I also saw a brooch of a noble lady in Queen Victoria's time. , you go and have a look, why don't you come here, don't you want to buy something for your wife as a gift?"

Xiang Ruqiao was not merciless about spending Yu Yanqing's money to buy things, and she was not merciless about encouraging Yu Yanqing's wife to spend money on things.Her task is to hold Pei Yinxi back, as long as the goal is achieved, it doesn't matter if she spends more money, anyway, it's her boss Yu Yanqing's money.

Feeling disgusted by Xiang Ruqiao, Pei Yinxi touched his nose and left the auction site to rest in the lounge and exhibition hall.

Xiang Ruqiao thought that Pei Yinxi was so bored that she finally went to rest and would not come back so soon.Unexpectedly, Pei Yinxi came back not long after she left. As soon as she sat down, she happened to be in an auction dedicated to Southeast Asia.

This lot is an ancient book, written in Chinese.Preliminary identification is a manuscript handed down in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, but the quality of the manuscript itself is not high.This is because the paper used for this copy is the most commonly used rough-edged paper for folk books at that time. The book is a handwritten copy with correct handwriting, but the calligraphy is ordinary.

The appraisal opinion believes that this book is an ancient story book.As novels and storybooks for entertainment, they were bought by rubber tapping workers or fishermen and brought to Southeast Asia, where they were eventually handed down.

The contents of the stories recorded in the book are real events or fictions. Who wrote this book is not recorded and cannot be verified.It is only recorded in front of the story in the book: the record in this book is the legend of the South Dian Kingdom thousands of years ago.Yu is a descendant of the royal historian of the Southern Dian Kingdom, and the records in the book are the secret oral records of Yu ancestors for thousands of years.It is passed down from generation to generation and not passed on to outsiders. Yu Jin wrote this book to pass on to future generations.

This way of writing is a common method used by many unknown novelists in ancient times when they created market novels. It not only serves as the beginning, but also adds a mysterious and legendary color to their novels, attracting people to read and buy.

This ancient book has been kept by an Indonesian family with Chinese ancestry. Because the family has never experienced war or turmoil, the ancient book has been kept until recently.Judging from the location, paper, copying method and records of this ancient book, it can be seen that this is a folk storybook like strange tales and tales.This kind of lot can be regarded as an antique, but it is not an antique or artwork with much collection value.

Collections of general books and calligraphy, which come from famous masters, or have been collected by historically great collectors and overshadowed private collections, or have high artistic appreciation value and cultural and historical value, once they appear at the auction, they will be sold at auction. It will sell for a sky-high price, and it will be extremely concerned.

However, this ancient book received only average attention, and not many people were very interested in it before it was put up for auction.Pei Yinxi was uncharacteristically interested in it.Even when she hurried back to the auction site, she seemed to be aiming at this ancient book.As soon as she sat down, she started holding up a sign to this ancient book, making Ru Qiao look sideways at her.

Then the auction started. Pei Yinxi was very low-key, and her style of shooting was not aggressive, but as long as there were bids, she would follow.There are fewer and fewer people bidding, from seven or eight to four or five, and then to two or three.The price ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands and finally to millions.

Pei Yinxi's face was calm, he was still bidding, Xiang Ruqiao looked more and more surprised.Xiang Ruqiao hurriedly pulled Pei Yinxi quietly: "Hey, what are you doing? This thing is not very valuable, and it's not in my target lot. What do you like about it?"

Pei Yinxi said in a low voice: "I paid for it myself, please keep an eye on it for me, I want to take it down."

Spread your hands to Ruqiao, rich people are so capricious.In the end, Pei Yinxi followed closely and finally got impatient with the last bidder. Pei Yinxi finally won the ancient book at 150 million.

As soon as Pei Yinxi took the ancient book, he went to the backcourt to ask for delivery.Xiang Ruqiao didn't want to take pictures of the next thing anymore, so she went to read the book with Pei Yinxi.

Xiang Ruqiao and Pei Yinxi were in the VIP room, receiving the books taken out of the constant temperature and humidity box.Xiang Ruqiao said in a loud voice: "I didn't expect you to be interested in this kind of thing. You don't collect ancient books, and the material and printing are not exquisite. You spent a lot of money to buy it. What makes you feel so happy?" interest?"

She had already secretly contacted Shui Liu.Yu Yanqing and Shui Liu began to do detailed physical examinations and tests in the morning. Yu Yanqing wanted to conduct a biopsy on himself and take his cerebrospinal fluid to study the virus, and it should be in progress by now.Her task of holding Pei Yinxi back was half done, so she didn't have to worry about holding her back for the rest of the time. Pei Yinxi bought a lot by herself, and began to study it with great interest.

Pei Yinxi was really interested. She got the book and asked Xiang Ruqiao to come over and read it: "I'm not interested in ancient books. I was in the lounge and saw the pictures of this book, the places recorded in this book, There is also this story, look at it."

Xiang Ruqiao put on the glove, took it over and took a look, the more she looked, the more amazed she became. "My God! Do you think the things recorded in this book are real, or are they just stories?"

Pei Yinxi thought about it, and said slowly: "In the historical materials, there has never been any relevant records. If someone else reads it, they will definitely say it is a story. But we have seen it before! I called Xia Lvsi. "

"Hey, Old Pei, I knew you were a good friend. Every time you call me here, you go to such a high-end and elegant place. Do you want to invite me to dinner here today?" Si pushed open the door and came in with a smile.

Xiang Ruqiao hurriedly called Xia Lusi over: "Officer Xia! Come quickly and see this!"

Xia Lvsi took the book to read, and Pei Yinxi said: "In this book, a country called Nandian Kingdom is recorded. Its center is in today's Yunnan, and its borders touch Myanmar and Laos. The story recorded in this book , It is the story of the dangerous wars, court maneuvers, and national reform and revival of the South Dian Kingdom before it became a prosperous country. The content of the story can be described as very twists and turns."

Xia Lvsi was so surprised that he couldn't say a word, he could only murmur unconsciously: "Southern Dian Kingdom, Southern Dian Kingdom...she...she."

"That's right... I insisted on buying this book because, while I was watching the video, I accidentally discovered that when I flipped through the book, there was a page of illustrations, and it was this!" Pei Yinxi opened the book and found that page illustration.

The paintings are drawn with simple brush lines, just like the simple portraits of ancient characters in middle school textbooks, with only a few strokes.But it was such a simple portrait, in which was the image of a woman in ancient costume.According to the book, this is the eldest princess of Nandian Kingdom!

"Oh my god, the eldest princess! Could it be the portrait we saw in the cave that day?" Xiang Ruqiao leaned forward to look.

The murals in the cave are colorful, and they seem to be able to walk out of the paintings, but there are only a few strokes in this ancient book, and there are not many similarities.But in one place, the three people who saw the painting were all stunned. Xia Lvsi subconsciously took out the piece of red jade that she had been wearing next to her body since she came back from Nanwa with the red thread around her neck.

——In the illustration in the book, there is also an ornament drawn on the woman's neck. Others can't tell what it is, but Pei Yinxi and the other three who have seen it with their own eyes can think of it.That thing is this drop-shaped ruby!

"Princess...princess! It's her! This book is about her, and the things in the book are true?!" Xia Lusi hurriedly took out her mobile phone and found a portrait to show to Pei Yinxi and Xiang Ruqiao .

"Ah" to Ruqiao: "Where did this portrait come from? It's seven or eight percent similar to the murals in the cave."

Xia Lvsi scratched her head and smiled shyly: "After I come back, I asked our criminal police team's analog portrait artist to help me draw it."

The clothes of this portrait are fluttering, the colors are rendered, and it is lifelike, but it is really similar to the portrait in the cave.The similarities between this portrait and the illustrations on ancient book manuscripts are that the person in the painting has elegant clothes, long hair like waterfalls and clouds, noble temperament, and wears the same accessory, which is the red piece worn by Xia Lusi. Jade.

"It is written in this book that the eldest princess of the South Dian Kingdom has a peerless beautiful face and a broad and loving heart, and is deeply loved by all people. With her martial arts and martial arts, she established a powerful army and pacified the nomadic tribes in the northwest of the South Dian Kingdom. The Kingdom, internally determined to reform and develop the economy, making everyone in the South Dian country rich and the country extremely strong, and because of her ancient talents, the South Dian country later became the richest and most powerful country in the world." Xiang Ruqiao has a high attainment in ancient Chinese, Read the whole book in no time.

"What about her?" When Xia Lusi thought of the princess in the painting and heard things related to her, she couldn't help her heart pounding, "How is she? What kind of person is she? Has she... "

Did she, marry someone else, have a child...inherit her kingdom?

Xia Lvsi felt sour in his heart, and when he thought of this possibility, a strong jealousy arose spontaneously.This princess, often, no, almost every night, would enter her dreams, be intimate with her and tangle with her.

If she is a real person, or a person from more than 1000 years ago, and is the king of a powerful country that has not been recorded in history, then according to common sense, would she have married a long time ago and belonged to someone else?

Ah, how can it be!

"Uh, you... Lao Xia, you are real." Pei Yinxi was quite sure now, Xia Lusi had a very deep and strange feeling for the woman on the mural.It was because she knew that the things recorded in this ancient book might be related to that woman, so she immediately decided to go back to the auction site and buy this book for Xia Lvsi no matter what.

Originally, Pei Yinxi still guessed that Xia Lvsi fell in love with the person on the mural, after all, it was too unbelievable.But now when it comes to the matter of the princess, Pei Yinxi can understand the probing expression on Xia Lusi's face, it's clearly a jealous expression.

"Old Pei, help me read, what does this book say? What happened to the princess?" Xia Lvsi said.

Pei Yinxi turned to the last few pages, then sighed, and said to Xia Lvsi: "It is recorded in the book that the princess is too dazzling and great. Her reforms and great achievements in making the country strong have touched too many clan elders interests, and aroused the jealousy of neighboring countries. Under the collusion of internal villains and the malicious infiltration of hostile countries, internal and external attacks, and finally conspired to launch a coup against her. In an earth-shaking coup, she was murdered. killed."

"What?!" Xia Lvsi slammed her phone to the ground, subconsciously placed it on the gun at her waist, and said through gritted teeth, "She was killed! Damn, dare to kill her! Who dares to kill her!" kill her!"

"Officer Xia, Officer Xia, don't be angry. This is a novel." Xiang Ruqiao was so frightened that she quickly spoke to comfort her.Comrade police officer, it's really an occupational disease. When I heard that the princess was killed, the sudden murderous look on her body was really scary.

Xiang Ruqiao couldn't persuade her at all, Xia Lvsi was so angry that she grabbed the ancient book and started flipping through it.This is an antique from 600 years ago. The paper is as brittle as a cicada's wings. Xiang Ruqiao and Pei Yinxi were very careful while wearing gloves, but Officer Xia made a fuss when he brought it over.

Pei Yinxi didn't feel sorry for Antique, nor did he stop him, but spread his arms and said to Ru Qiao, "Do you really think that's just an ancient novel?"

Xiang Ruqiao was taken aback by the question, and didn't know how to make a conclusion.

At this time Xiang Ruqiao's cell phone rang, it was Shui Liu calling.As soon as Xiang Ruqiao picked it up, Shui Liu said, "Qiao Qiao, is Pei Yinxi by your side?"

Xiang Ruqiao looked at Pei Yinxi and said, "Yes, what's the matter? Are you looking for her?"

Shui Liu said: "Well, let her come back. Doctor Yu is not feeling well right now, and has been looking for her."

Pei Yinxi listened to the call from Shui Liu asking her where she was, and she put her ear on Ru Qiao's side to listen.This time, he heard that Yu Yanqing was looking for her because he was not feeling well.Pei Yinxi didn't say a word, turned around and ran, exhausting the speed of the [-]-meter sprint, and ran out all at once.

Xiang Ruqiao: "..."

Shui Liu said: "What's the matter? Tell Pei Yinxi to come over quickly when you're done. Doctor Yu is suffering a lot and is waiting for her to come."

Xiang Ruqiao sighed helplessly: "I don't need to say anything. She heard it and ran away without delay. How did you take care of our eldest lady? Didn't you say it was a very safe operation? Great experts in the entire hospital, you can make people uncomfortable... I suggest that you run away quickly, I'm afraid Pei Yinxi will eat you."

The author has something to say: Dr. Yu: What is the doctor afraid of for a minor operation?
