"I bid 210,000!"

A white-haired old man raised the sign in his hand.

Before he finished speaking, another person raised his sign.

“22W!”

“25W!”

“26W!”

The price kept rising, but it soon calmed down.

Not everyone liked Yuan Qinghua, let alone a fragment.

The auctioneer did not expect a fragment to fetch a high price, so he quickly began to hammer down the hammer in his hand.

After two rings, just as the third ring was about to be rung…

Gu Yiran, who was sitting in the private room, had a grape in her mouth as she pressed the auction button unhurriedly.

“30W!”

He didn't have that much money in his card, but don't forget that there were two of his collections to be auctioned at this auction.

Once the price of 300,000 was announced, the crowd calmed down.

The old man raised his sign again and bid 310,000. However, judging from the conflicted look on his face, it was obvious that this was his limit.

"350,000." Gu Yiran said calmly. The waiter beside him quickly helped him bid.

After this round, no one bid anymore. Gu Yiran also got the Yuan Blue and White Porcelain Fragment as he wished.

Soon, someone knocked on the door.

The waiter ran over to open the door. When he saw who it was, he covered his mouth and said in surprise,"Boss, why are you here?"

"I'm here to see Mr. Gu." Liu Xihua smiled and walked in with a wooden box in his hand.

"You're a boss. Why don't you go and deal with the auction?”Gu Yiran received the wooden box from Liu Xihua with a burning gaze.

He opened the wooden box and saw more than ten pieces of blue and white porcelain fragments.

He was admiring the fragments of the blue and white porcelain while listening to Liu Xihua's words.

"Mr. Gu, do you like porcelain?" Liu Xihua asked.

Gu Yiran nodded.

"That's good. Every time we collect items, we will encounter a lot of porcelain fragments.”Liu Xihua smiled." If Mr. Gu likes it, I can give it all to you next time."”

"Really?" Gu Yiran said in surprise.

Gu Yiran did not expect such a good thing to happen.

"Anyway, a few pieces of porcelain are not worth much.”Liu Xihua pointed at the auction stage.

It turned out that the auction was already nearing its end. Treasures began to appear on the stage one after another. Right now, there was a painting on the auction stage.

It was the Painting of a Beautiful Lady in the Tang Dynasty that Gu Yiran had handed to the auction house.

"Tang Bohu's talent is unparalleled in history and his paintings are even more rare.”The auctioneer said," This painting of a beautiful lady is what Great Scholar Tang is best at. Your collection room definitely can't lack such a collection!”

"The starting price is 1,000,000, and each increment must not be lower than 100,000!”

“110W!”

Before the auctioneer could finish speaking, someone impatiently called out the price.

There were many masters of painting and calligraphy in ancient times, but the most well-known ones were Tang Bohu and Wang Xizhi.

Their works were also honored guests at major auction houses.

“150W!”

The price reached a new high.

Many people in the auction house calmed down.

Because they knew that if this was really Tang Bohu's painting, it would definitely be the finale. It would definitely not appear so early.

With the strength of the Treasure Auction Company, it was impossible for them to be so generous.

"Everyone, wait a moment." At this moment, the auctioneer asked everyone to pause for a moment and slowly said," This painting has been appraised by our expert appraiser. The result is that it is authentic, but there are some strange places. I hope that all the auctioneers will consider it carefully.”

In the private room, Gu Yiran looked up at Liu Xihua.

Liu Xihua coughed lightly and said," Small auction companies like us operate on our reputation. There are some risks that we must inform our guests.”

Gu Yiran nodded in understanding.

After all, it was something that easily cost millions. No one dared to be careless.

The auctioneer's words made many people give up on the idea of auctioning.

In the end, the auction did not fail, but the price was not too high either. The final price was three million.

"Congratulations to the host for successfully selling the Painting of a Beautiful Lady of the Tang Dynasty and obtaining three million points. The system has automatically converted it into three hundred forgery points.”

"I'm a little tired from watching. I'll rest for a while.”Gu Yiran said calmly. She closed her eyes slightly and her hand had already touched the fragment of the Yuan Blue and White Porcelain.

There were still a few items left before the auction of the finale items. It would take more than half an hour.

Gu Yiran planned to take this opportunity to analyze the manufacturing process of the blue and white porcelain.

The blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty was divided into two types: the official kiln and the civilian kiln.

The former would be much more expensive.

The method to distinguish distance was to distinguish them from the patterns.

Generally speaking, blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty had dragon patterns with two horns and five claws, unicorns, phoenixes, white rabbits, ganoderma lucidum, etc. These were all produced by official kilns and were prohibited from being produced by civilian kilns.

The pieces of blue and white porcelain in Gu Yiran's hands had a dragon pattern on them. They were produced in an official kiln.

A scene gradually appeared in front of his slightly closed eyes.

A middle-aged man started from the selection of clay to the removal of impurities, and then slowly made the embryo.

Then, he handed the embryo over to the others.

The production of a piece of blue and white porcelain was not done by just one worker.

For example, it required several workers to make an embryo from clay.

The drawings on the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty needed to be carved by craftsmen who were proficient in carving during the embryo stage. Only then could it enter the firing process.

Gu Yiran was like a bystander as she watched a piece of clay buried deep underground being passed around by the workers.

From an unknown clay to an embryo, it slowly became a rare treasure.

During this process, he could not help but sigh at the superb skills of the ancient craftsmen.

The complexity of the procedures was astonishing.

It was no wonder that many ancient crafts had disappeared in the long river of history. Even with the use of various scientific research instruments, they could not be perfectly restored.

The scene gradually disappeared.

Gu Yiran felt as if a century had passed. When she opened her eyes again, it was as if a lifetime had passed.

In the past, when he analyzed the works of a master painter, it was only one person's skill.

On the other hand, craftsmanship such as the Tang Sancai and the Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain was composed by many people. The process of analyzing it was very taxing.

Gu Yiran was a little dizzy, but she still forced herself to stay awake.

When Liu Xihua saw that he had woken up, he also reminded him in a low voice that it was about time to auction the finale item, Xu Beihong's " Galloping Horse Painting ".

PS: I was too sleepy last night and accidentally copied the wrong one. Please forgive me. She shamelessly asked for a flower evaluation.
