After Gu Mei bought the silver box, new items were placed on the long table, once again attracting the attention of many people.
Facing such a situation, even if Gu Mei's heart still had some small excitement, she could only temporarily suppress that excitement and continue to look at the following things with Professor Wang.
Because there were many people here and it was inconvenient, Gu Mei also did not have the opportunity to discuss with Professor Wang about this silver box she bought.
The next thing to be put out is the same as before, one good thing and one ordinary thing are put out. Basically, those that look like they belong to opening the door will be sold quickly, while the ordinary ones are relatively few.
The several pieces of antiques behind were also looked at by her, but those things were either too expensive or simply fake, so she didn't make an offer for any of them.
She saw a jade incense burner being sold at a high price, but after her left hand touched it, she was certain that the thing was fake and not even made of jade, but rather a stone processed in a special way.
It's just that thing is really true, even Professor Wang can't be sure whether it's true or false in such a short time.
"Things here are probably about it, let's go somewhere else and take a look." After looking at several more things, Professor Wang said to Gu Mian.
Gu Mei naturally had no opinion, nodded and followed Professor Wang out.
After walking out, it can be seen that the door curtains at the entrance of the small meeting rooms around are basically all pulled down. The few small meeting rooms that have not been pulled down only have a few people in twos and threes.
Qin Sheng and others did not know where they were at this time. Gu Ming swept a glance around, but temporarily did not find anyone familiar in his line of sight.
"Uncle, there are so few people over there. Is the bidding already over?" Gu Mian asked in a low voice beside Professor Wang.
Professor Wang looked in the direction of Gu Mian and nodded: "You're right, that's where the bidding ends, and what's left are things that no one has bid on."
"Where are we going next?" asked Gu Mian. (Cotton Candy)
She bought that silver box at a very low price in that small venue just now, but Professor Wang didn't buy anything.
"Just take a look." Professor Wang glanced at the time, thought for a moment, and then asked Gu Mian: "Do you want to follow me together or just wander around by yourself?"
Gu Mei thought for a moment and finally decided to follow Professor Wang, in this unfamiliar place, as a girl, she felt much safer following someone familiar.
Professor Wang saw that Gu Ming still wanted to follow him, so he didn't say anything and led Gu Ming into a small meeting room with an overall dark color scheme.
The first round of bidding in this small venue has not yet ended, but there are not many people inside.
The decorations here are similar to the previous small venue, except for the different colors. The sofas are also placed in a clever position. There is also a long table in front.
At this time, on the long table in front of him, a small object was placed, because it was a bit far away, and there were people beside it. Gu Ming couldn't see clearly what it was, but one thing was certain, that thing was absolutely not a big deal.
"What's taken out from here should be wood carvings or something like that, and they should all be small-sized wood carvings." Before Gu Mian could ask a question, Professor Wang spoke up.
Professor Wang didn't examine every item like he did in the small meeting room earlier, but instead only went to take a closer look at things that caught his interest.
Professor Wang is a professor of jade and stone appraisal, and his specialty is also jade and stone appraisal. He is secondly good at identifying various ceramics, and the identification of wood carvings is relatively rough.
Gu Meng then was different from Professor Wang, for every object brought out on the long table filled her with interest. After all, in front of her left hand, as long as it was an antique, she could feel it out, the only difference being what kind of feeling the antique gave her.
Compared to various metal products, jade products, wood carvings and bamboo carvings, there are also many fakes. [Cotton Candy] In this small venue, Gu Xiang went up to observe that at least two out of the five items were fake, and her hands didn't even feel a slight warmth. Some things even made her feel uncomfortable after touching them.
No wonder there are so few people in this small venue. Anyone who knows a thing or two will lose interest after taking a closer look.
Professor Wang soon became disinterested in this place. He beckoned to Gu Mian and indicated that he was ready to leave here and go somewhere else.
Just as Gu Miao and Gu Yang were about to stand up, they suddenly felt a throb in their hearts, and their line of sight involuntarily shifted towards the direction of the long table.
At this time, a wooden carving of Pi Xiu was placed on the long table. The ornament was not large, and it looked like it was smaller than the palm of one's hand, slightly smaller than the silver box that Gu Can had just bought.
She said something to Professor Wang and then walked towards the long table.
According to ancient books, Pixiu is a fierce beast and one of the five great auspicious beasts in ancient times (the others are dragon, phoenix, turtle, and qilin), known as the wealth-attracting divine beast. Pixiu was once the totem of two ancient tribes. Legend has it that Pixiu helped the Yellow Emperor win battles and was rewarded with the title "Tianlu" meaning heavenly blessing. It is said to guard treasures for emperors and is a symbol of royalty, known as "Imperial Treasure".
It has another characteristic that is widely loved by people, that is, it gathers wealth and brings good luck. The Pi Xiu, a mythical creature, is said to have a mouth but no anus, can swallow all things without leaking, can attract wealth and treasure, only in and not out, with supernatural powers.
Because Pi Xiu can only bring in wealth and treasure, but not take it out, from ancient times, Pi Xiu has been regarded as a auspicious creature that brings in wealth and treasure, and is still widely loved today.
However, Pixiu is generally made of jade, because Pixiu is best made of jade, as jade has a natural spirituality. It must be opened to light, otherwise it will be a blind Pixiu, which can only be used as an ornament and is useless. Moreover, Pixiu cannot be said to be bought, but must be said to be invited.
There are also wooden carvings like this in front of the eyes, some ancient big houses will use solid wood to carve Pixiu and put it on the beam, and people also believe that using sandalwood or peach wood to make Pixiu has the effect of warding off evil spirits.
Just by looking at the wooden carving of Xi Wangmu in front of her, Gu Xiang couldn't help but feel that this didn't seem like something used to be placed on a beam to ward off evil spirits.
The whole body of this Qilin is dark in color, but amidst the darkness, there is a subtle luster that cannot be described as being carved from any specific wood. The carving of the Qilin is not lifelike, yet it has an extraordinary aura, and the simple carving technique perfectly embodies the majesty that the Qilin should have as an ancient divine beast.
Gu Mei didn't know much about identifying wooden carvings, and from its shape and carving techniques, she couldn't tell whether it was a modern product or an antique. The only thing she could do was to touch it with her left hand.
It wasn't easy waiting for the people in front to finish, but Gu Mei finally got her hands on this little thing that made her heart skip a beat. As soon as she did, a wave of heat that seemed to seep into her very soul emanated from it.
This heat was different from any other heat she had ever felt before. Before, it was just her hands that were burning, but this time the heat directly seeped into her heart, and although her hands were still burning, they seemed to be sucked in by some kind of force, holding onto Gu Mian's hand tightly, making her unable to let go.
At this moment, Gu Mian felt something more than just joy in her heart. The excitement seemed to be overflowing, and she had never experienced such a magical feeling before. Her whole being was in a state of euphoria, and at the bottom of her heart, there was a low, muffled cry.
Gu Miao didn't know how to describe that cry, but she understood that it must be the sound of a Qilin.
Others may view this Bixi in a certain way, but Qian Meng has a voice in her heart that keeps urging her to buy this wooden carving of Bixi.
Although Gu Mei felt so much after getting the Qilin, in other people's eyes, it was just a blink of an eye. No one noticed the excitement under her seemingly calm surface.
The wooden carving of Pixiu had a reserve price of only 2,000. Gu Ming endured the excitement in her heart and waited until all the people who intended to buy Pixiu had bid before she made her move.
There are three people who have the intention of buying the Pixiu, including Gu Mei. Gu Mei is very afraid that the Pixiu will be sold to someone at a high price, and while waiting for the result, she is always in a state of anxiety.
She didn't know how much the Pixiu was worth, and now its value is secondary to her. What's most important is the unspeakable comfort it brings her.
Fortunately, heaven stood on Gu Mian's side, and the wooden carving Pixiu was finally bought by Gu Mian for 200,000 yuan.
When the price she offered was announced, not to mention others, even Professor Wang was shocked and quickly shifted his gaze to the Pixiu obtained by Gu Mei.
"Ah... " Professor Wang originally wanted to say something, but looking at Gu Mian holding the Pixiu and radiating a joyful aura, he ultimately didn't speak up.
"Uncle, let's go somewhere else and take a look!" Gu Mian happily put the wooden Qilin into the silver box he had bought earlier, with a smile on his face, facing Professor Wang.
She naturally knew what Professor Wang wanted to say, which was nothing more than feeling that the price she offered was too high. However, it's hard to buy a good reputation with money, and even if the price she offered was much higher than this wooden carving, she thought it was worth it.
After all, this wooden carving gave her a very strange feeling, and as a woman's intuition told her, this wood carving was definitely not simple. Otherwise, why did it catch her attention before she touched it, and after touching it, there was such a magical feeling.
