treasure hunter

After lunch, Mr. Ye took everyone to the backyard for a stroll. The backyard was full of flowers and plants, like a big garden. In the middle of the garden, there was a small gazebo with the word "Thinking of Past" written on the plaque of the gazebo.

When they walked into the pavilion, Pei Miao asked curiously, "Old Ye, is this pavilion called Siguo Pavilion?"

"Yes." Ye Lao sat down, spread his hands to invite them to sit down, and said slowly, "Saints have to reflect on themselves three times a day, and mortals like us, of course, have to reflect on ourselves more often, so that we can improve and make progress. When you have nothing to do, come to sit in the pavilion and think about whether you have anything to reflect on today. If not today, then did you have it yesterday, did you have it the day before yesterday, or in this life, if you did something wrong or did not do it right? Take out the good places and reflect on them.”

Tan Lao heard the words and sighed, "We can't compare Ye Lao's realm."

Everyone nodded.

Ye Laodao: "Self-reflection is a good behavior. The sooner you reflect, the sooner you can discover your own shortcomings, and the sooner you can go ahead of others, but now people are impetuous, and it is rare Someone can calm down and reflect on themselves."

If someone else said that, Pei Miao might think that this guy is pretending to be x, but Mr. Ye obviously has a different status and there is no need to pretend at all. This only proves that his realm is indeed high, so he also nodded frequently, agreeing with Ye old saying.

After a while, Elder Ye asked: "The reason you came to Shanghai this time is to watch the Doucai Chicken Cup, right?"

"Yes." Huang Lao nodded with a smile, "This time, a pair of chicken bowl cups appeared at the auction at the same time. It is rare in history, and we naturally don't want to miss it."

"Pei Miao too?" Elder Ye asked.

Pei Miao nodded, "Yes."

Ye Lao smiled and said: "It's very good. Only by pursuing precious antiques can we go further on the road of antiques. Such a good treasure, not to mention you, even I am very excited."

Huang Lao joked: "Then Ye Lao, when you wait for the auction, just buy it."

"Are you kidding me?" Ye Lao smiled and shook his head, "God knows what kind of sky-high price a pair of chicken bowl cups will fetch. With my little wealth, it would be enough to win one."

Huang Lao laughed and said, "It's easy for Xiang Nan's father to help you take pictures."

"I don't dare to bother him." Huang Lao said in a bad mood, "I have given birth to several sons, and none of them are reassuring. They looked very good when they were young, but they are disobedient when they grow up. Brothers even fight. I’m not dead yet, they’re making noise like they’ve never been in touch with each other, sometimes I really want to be like when I was a child, each of them giving them a stick, it’s better to be a daughter, and more caring than a son.”

Ye Xiangnan, who was standing aside and secretly playing with his mobile phone, was so frightened that he secretly stuffed his mobile phone into his trouser pocket.

Mr. Huang laughed dryly, changed the subject, and asked, "Then the preview or the auction... Teacher, are you going?"

Ye Lao thought for a while, and said, "It's inconvenient for me to attend public events. I'll go the day before the preview. With my old face, Rongbaozhai Auction House should let me have a look at the pair of chicken cups."

Mr. Zhu laughed and said, "I'm afraid they'll just beg Mr. Ye to read it. After all, as long as you see something correctly, it will be more convincing than any testimonial."

Huang Lao asked: "I wonder if we can take advantage of the teacher and go to have a closer look at the pair of chicken bowl cups?"

"Yes." Huang Lao said with a smile, "But it will depend on whether Rong Bao Zhai agrees or not. Maybe they won't let me see it."

Elder Tan on the side laughed when he heard this: "Are you kidding? Doesn't he want to be in the domestic antique circle?"

Ye Lao scolded with a smile: "Why do you make me look like a bandit, don't talk nonsense."

Pei Miao heard that he could watch the Chicken Bowl from a close distance, and of course he didn't want to miss this good opportunity, so he hurriedly asked, "Old Ye, can I go and see it together?"

Ye Lao nodded and smiled: "Come together, one more person will watch, and the color of the chicken cup will not fade."

Huang Lao asked, "Then... what time is it?"

Ye Laodao: "It will have to wait until I contact Rongbaozhai. If they agree, I will tell you the exact time."

"Okay, then we will wait for the good news from the teacher." Several old experts were very excited.

They chatted for a while in the yard, Elder Ye was a little sleepy and wanted to take a nap, Pei Miao and Elder Huang left.

Pei Miao drove a few old experts to the hotel, and it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon when they got back to the hotel. Pei Miao and Huang Lao went up to the 1207th floor together and found their own room, [-].

After entering the room, take a shower first. When you get out of the shower, your phone rang. Pei Miao picked up the phone and saw that it was Wang Huijun calling, so she answered the phone: "Hello, Uncle Wang."

"Hey, Pei Miao, are you busy now?"

While wiping her hair with a towel, Pei Miao said, "It's not busy, I just took a shower."

Wang Huijun said: "I have a small favor that I may need you to help me with."

Pei Miao asked, "What's the matter?"

Wang Huijun said: "The auction house in Shanghai is about to auction a pair of Ming Chenghua Doucai chicken cups. You are an antique dealer, so you should know how precious these things are. I want to take them down."

Pei Miao was stunned for a while, Wang Huijun wanted to make a chicken bowl cup, this is a big deal.

I only heard Wang Huijun continue: "Although Rongbaozhai has always had a good reputation in antique auctions, I heard the news that they did not guarantee the chicken bowl cups up for auction this time. This is the first time in history, so I I have no idea."

"No guarantee?" Pei Miao was taken aback when he heard the words. All the antiques auctioned by Rongbaozhai Auction House are always guaranteed. It is indeed a bit abnormal.

Pei Miao thought for a while and asked, "You don't want me to accompany you to the auction, do you?"

"Yes, I just want you to help me check it out." Wang Huijun said with a smile, "You know, I'm really not very good at antiques, I'm good at cooking and love to play, haha..."

Pei Miao said: "Uncle Wang, you really think highly of me, such a precious treasure, you actually call a young man like me to palm him, you are not afraid that I will be mistaken."

"Don't worry about this." Wang Huijun said, "First of all, I have absolute trust in your character and technology. If you take a step back, even if you get an eye shot, you don't need to be responsible. Just do your best."

Wang Huijun's words have reached this point, Pei Miao has no reason to refuse, but fortunately he is more confident, and said: "Okay, I will try my best to help you check."

Wang Huijun was very happy when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Then when will you come to Shanghai? Can you come tomorrow?"

Pei Miao said, "I'm already in Shanghai."

"They're all in the capital?!" Wang Huijun was surprised and happy when he heard the words, and said, "Where are you? I'll pick you up."

Pei Miao asked, "Why pick me up? Isn't it a few days before the auction?"

"You're offended by what you said." Wang Huijun laughed, "You've come to Shanghai, how can I not be a landlord, tell me where you are, and I'll pick you up."

Pei Miao said, "It's better for you to send me the address, and I'll just drive there."

"Alright, it's faster this way, hang up." Wang Huijun hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Soon, Pei Miao received the location information from Wang Huijun, he immediately put on his clothes, went to the next room to say hello to Mr. Huang, and went out.

According to the navigation, Pei Miao came to an indoor archery gym near Lujiazui. The archery gym, as the name suggests, is of course a place to practice archery.

After Pei Miao went in, he found that the archery gym was not small. To open such a large archery hall in such a prosperous area, the owner must be very rich.

Pei Miao was about to go to the front desk to ask where Wang Huijun was, when a man in a light blue casual suit walked over quickly and asked, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Pei Miao?"

Pei Miao nodded, "Yes, it's me."

"Mr. Pei, Mr. Wang is waiting for you in the VIP room on the second floor, please follow me."

"Okay, thank you."

Pei Miao followed the man up to the second floor, and came to the VIP room No. 01 on the second floor. After entering, Pei Miao almost screamed out, this is not a private room, it is a private room, and the space inside is too big.

This private room is rectangular, with a length of more than 20 meters and a width of about four meters. This long and narrow room gives people the feeling of being on a fork.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. After all, it is an archery room. If you don’t make it a little longer, there is not enough distance to shoot arrows.

There are three target lanes in the room, and there is an arrow target at the end of each target track, behind which is a black arrow cloth.

Wang Huijun was seriously posing for archery, and didn't notice Pei Miao's arrival. Behind him stood a girl in professional women's attire. One feels that she is always smiling.

No need to think about it, this is Wang Huijun's new secretary.

In fact, Pei Miao still admires Wang Huijun very much. After becoming famous, he never forgot his roots. He always missed his dead wife and never accepted other women. Although Wang Huijun always has beautiful women around him, in fact, he has always been in the position of "preserving himself like jade". state.

Pei Miao knows how to look at the face, if a man is lonely for a long time, Pei Miao can tell, Wang Huijun's face is like this.

With a soft "buzz", the arrow flew out, and then with a muffled "poof", the arrow hit the target, Qihuan, Pei Miao looked at the distance of the arrow, and there was a mark next to where Wang Huijun was standing. : ten meters.

Pei Miao didn't know much about archery, but flattery still had to be slapped, so he clapped and laughed and said, "Uncle Wang, good at archery."

Wang Huijun turned his head when he heard the sound, saw Pei Miao, and laughed happily, "Come on, come on, you also shoot two arrows."

"I won't." Pei Miao waved his hands and smiled lightly.

"You only need to learn if you don't know how to do it. It's very simple, just try." Wang Huijun put the bow into Pei Miao's hand while speaking.

Pei Miao actually wanted to try it, after all, it looked quite interesting, so she nodded, "Okay, let me try it, you teach me."

"Okay, hold the bow in your left hand, hold it in the middle, where there is a grip shape, yes, shoot the arrow... pull the string, bend your left wrist to the right, otherwise the bowstring will hit your arm..."

Wang Huijun carefully corrected Pei Miao's archery posture. In fact, it didn't need too much correction. Pei Miao had seen Wang Huijun's archery posture just now, so he just followed it. After all, the greatest ability of Butian Jieshou was to imitate. I imitated Wang Huijun's archery posture exactly the same.

Then, Pei Miao tried to aim, let go of the bowstring with his right hand, and there was a trembling sound, the arrow flew out and hit the archery target, but unfortunately it missed a little bit and only hit the fifth ring.

"Hey, five rings, amazing!" Seeing this, Wang Huijun exclaimed in surprise, "Is this your first time shooting an arrow?"

Pei Miao smiled and nodded, "It's the first time."

"It's so powerful the first time? Shoot another arrow and see."

Pei Miao immediately shot another arrow. This time, he directly bent the bow and set the arrow. The movement was very smooth, and it took about two seconds to aim.

"Om—" After the string trembled, the arrow pierced at a position close to the center, the second ring.

"What! The second ring!" Seeing this, Wang Huijun was not happy, and said depressedly, "I have been practicing for more than a month, and I want to shoot the second ring depends on my luck. Why can you shoot the second ring all at once? You must be fooled." , Another arrow!"

Pei Miao smiled and drew another arrow. This arrow, he was sure of ten rings. After all, he had supernatural powers to help him, but then he realized that this would really hurt Wang Huijun too much, so he deliberately moved slightly when shooting the arrow. With a bow, the arrow twisted and twisted in the air, as if dancing, and finally hit the arrow cloth without hitting the target.

"I'll just say it!" Wang Huijun finally regained his mental balance, and said with a smile, "You really are fooled."

Wang Huijun ran to the side, assembled another beautiful hunting recurve bow, and came back and said, "Come on, let's have a bibiha."

"Okay." Pei Miao replied with a smile. Suddenly, he was stunned. Through his Taixu eyes, he saw a slight redness above Wang Huijun's eyebrows, which was a sign of good luck. Red, if there is blood stagnation, behind the temples, that is, where the sideburns cover, there seems to be a black mist, no one can see this black mist with the naked eye, and Pei Miao only saw it with Taixu eyes unintentionally of.

This is not a good omen. If these faces simply appear, it means that there is a disaster of financial bankruptcy, and this face appears at the same time as the peach blossom face. It proved that this is not some good luck, but a good luck.

When Pei Miao was stunned, Wang Huijun had already bent his bow and set his arrow, and with a "buzz", he shot an arrow.

Pei Miao shook his head lightly, put aside these distracting thoughts for the time being, and started shooting arrows.

While the two were shooting arrows, Wang Huijun taught him some archery knowledge. He understood that the pulling force of these bows is measured in pounds. Pei Miao is using a 40-pound bow, and Wang Huijun is using a 37-pound bow. Bows, the bows used by the two are hunting-style recurve bows. In this VIP room, more than a dozen bows, large and small, have been prepared. The minimum pulling force is [-] pounds, and the maximum pulling force is [-] pounds. For bows that require other tensions, you can press the call bell at any time and let the service staff of the archery hall deliver them.

Pei Miao felt that the pulling force of his bow was a bit weak, so he changed it to a [-]-pound bow. Wang Huijun reminded him that bows and arrows need to be matched. When the arrow is shot, it is prone to deformation, which makes it difficult to shoot accurately. Such a professional problem is described and measured by "disturbance".

Disturbance is actually the linear displacement of the rod axis in the direction perpendicular to the axis when the force or non-uniform temperature changes.

Wang Huijun popularized a lot of theoretical knowledge about archery to Pei Miao. These theoretical knowledge are very simple and easy to understand, and they can be easily understood. Only archery requires long-term practice to reach a high level.

Pei Miao felt that her fingers hurt when she pulled the string, so she made a horn wrench to protect her fingers, and then she continued to shoot arrows.

Pei Miao's physical strength must be much better than Wang Huijun's. Wang Huijun felt a little tired after shooting more than [-] arrows. He sat on the rest chair next to him, and the beautiful secretary went to hand him water.

Pei Miao glanced casually, just in time to see Wang Huijun reach out to take the water, and when he was taking the water, he smiled at the beautiful secretary, a little lewdly...
