After having the first item, the atmosphere gradually became tense. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the table. If they met a good item, everyone would want to snatch it immediately. After all, many antiques were cheap, so buying it would be earning.

"The second is Mister Qigong's Lake Mountain Fishing Map."

Contemporary painting? Yang Bo was startled, he did not think that contemporary art books would appear. This was because in his opinion, many of the items here might have some problems, and it was very possible that they were robbing tombs for sale, and now, it seemed that there might be other methods.

Because it was a painting, the number of people who went up was much lesser this time. Only Master Yu and the other elder went up.

Yang Bo did not go up, because he knew very well that he had too little knowledge in painting, and his skills in painting would not increase in such a short period of time, so he might as well just stay off the stage.

He looked at it from afar. The circle of light around the painting was so thin that it was hard to judge.

After the two of them finished reading, Mei Laosan waited for a moment. Seeing that no one had any reaction, he felt disappointed, but still smiled and said: "Mister Qigong is a master of the state, and also a master of Chinese painting. I believe that everyone should know about Mister's name. "The starting price of the Lakeview Diagram is two hundred thousand!"

The situation had caused Yang Bo to be stunned; he had no way of appraising it himself, so he naturally wanted to see the attitude of others. At this moment, no one replied, only their breathing could be heard, which also explained the problem.

Mei Laosan looked a little awkward on the surface, "My Mei Laosan's business practices are always honest and honest!"

"Well, third, you don't have to say anything more. Since no one wants to, you can force yourself but no one is going to take it!" Master Yu interrupted him.

"Boss Plum, we're here to buy stuff, we don't want to see you lose face!"

Yang Bo turned his head and saw that it was the young man. He was leaning against the chair, and his sitting posture was crooked, as if he was lying on his own sofa.

When the Mei Laosan heard this, not only was he not angry, he looked solemn, "I'm truly sorry everyone, I'm sorry, let's continue!"

Yang Bo looked at the somewhat strange auction transaction, and was curious in his heart. He never thought that he would be able to see such an interesting situation here, even though it was his first time coming to this kind of place.

Yang Bo stepped forward and looked around. He wore a golden hair band, his features were delicate and pretty, and he wore a wide-sleeved cassock, which he wore on his chest. He looked dignified and benevolent. A wisp of light flew into his eyes. This should be a top-grade item.

"Thirty thousand starting bid!" Each increment must not be less than a thousand! "

Mei Laosan was paying attention to the expressions of the people below, but, they were all veterans, how could they see that, even Yang Bo who was only a young lad for the first time in the competition, had a calm and collected appearance.

"Fifty thousand dollars." The young man's faint voice entered his ears, "The old lady at home believes in Buddha, she wants to invite one back. This one is quite suitable."

Yang Bo curiously turned his head to glance at it, as if he didn't need to bring up this topic at the time of the auction. This kind of reason was something that Yang Bo could casually say for over ten minutes without repeating.

Contrary to Yang Bo's expectations, after the young man said this, he immediately quieted down. However, Mei Laosan did not seem displeased at all, and instead laughed: "Since Young Master Luo wants it, just say it."

Young Master Luo waved his hand and chuckled: "Business is business, friendship is friendship, a yard is a yard's worth of business, don't be confused."

"Yes, yes!" Young Master Luo is right! " On the surface, Mei Laosan's smile was thick, as if he was extremely happy.

"Is there anyone else who wants to increase the price?" Mei Laosan asked the crowd.

Yang Bo scoffed in his heart. He reckoned that the background of the Young Master Luo was not shallow, and actually made everyone avoid him, so this Guan Yin should at least be worth two to three hundred thousand. This was because everyone was afraid of the identity of the Young Master Luo, and no one actually dared to raise the price.

Sure enough, after Mei Laosan asked this question, he immediately replied: "This piece of the Ming Dynasty's scripture, Guan Yin sat statue, was taken by Young Master Luo!"

No one replied, Mei Laosan began to take the next step.

He realized that every time, the Young Master Luo would speak out first, and then, his appraiser would walk forward, but they did know how to advance and retreat, so after taking down the Guan Yin sitting visage, they practically did not intervene.

After taking a few more shots, he gave her a piece of Jade Dancer. It was made of white jade and had a red color, it was obvious that there was something wrong with the white Jade Dancer's background. Yang Bo suspected that it was very possible that it had just been dug out from the grave.

Looking at this Jade Dancer, Yang Bo became interested. Walking up to it, he observed it carefully, the dancer had her sleeves flung at her waist, one of her arms was raised above her head, the other hand was placed on her thin bent waist, her sleeve moved to the side and back. Her figure was graceful and her style was beautiful. Although she was just a small object, she was also very interesting.

The light in front of his eyes seeped out, threads of light wrapped around the dancing person's waist to form a halo, the halo gradually became thicker, much thicker than anything Yang Bo had seen before, just that it was slightly inferior to the Shang Dynasty's Wine Vessel. Looking at the fine lines that were showing through, Yang Bo suddenly thought of something.

When everyone finished reading, the Mei Laosan was straightforward, "The Han Jade Dancer's starting bid is 20,000, and each increment in price is not less than 1000!"

The Jade Dancer's beautiful figure attracted a lot of people to fight for her. Yang Bo knew how shallow his own wealth was, so he did not wait for them to speak.

Yang Bo was not that old, but this was the first time he had spoken up ever since the auction ended, causing everyone to turn their heads back.

"Twenty-five thousand!" Master Yu said.

"27,000!" Yang Bo looked in Master Yu's direction and nodded his head.

"Young man, you're very polite. This is the first time you've spoken, so I won't increase the price."

The only ones who spoke up were Yang Bo and Master Yu, who would have thought that Master Yu would leave in just two rounds, causing Yang Bo to be startled.

Master Yu had expressed his good intentions, causing Yang Bo to subconsciously accept it, before turning around and nodding at Master Yu.

The Mei Laosan did not mind as well. This Jade Dancer was just an ordinary object, and its price was just slightly higher than this. If Master Yu wanted to be a good person, he would be happy to cooperate.

Seeing that no one responded, Mei Laosan wanted to end this matter.

"Twenty-eight thousand!"

was even more surprised. He turned his head and saw that the person who had just spoke was Curator Qu!

It was true that he had stolen the treasure from the Assistant Curator Qu, but according to the rules of the trade, as long as the Assistant Curator Qu left, he would not have any rights to demand that no one else buy him. He did not expect the Assistant Curator Qu to first scheme with him, and now, even more so, raise the price for no reason!

Did he really think that Yang Bo was made of clay?
