In the next moment, Faang Cheng auctioned a crystal clear, rhombus shaped jade cup that was rarely seen. This jade cup was auctioned off by a middle aged woman for a price of 6.8 million, from the looks of it, she liked this jade cup a lot, it fit well into her eyes!

There were also two pieces of jade belt plates that were well-preserved early on in the Tang Dynasty. When the jade belt board came out, it attracted everyone's attention, and there were even some people who were unclear about what the jade belt boards were used for.

The jade belt board was actually the same as the one in the middle of the man's belt in ancient times. It was very commonly used, but there weren't many that were passed down! Fourth Master Qi estimated that there should be between eleven to thirteen jade belt boards in this entire set. If the entire set of the jade belt boards was gathered together, then it would be an extremely valuable antique, with a conservative estimate of tens of millions, but the value of a single set of two pieces of jade belt was not as high as the entire set of jade belt boards! Thus, the two jade ribbon tablets were sold to Second Master Xiao for a price of 2.4 million. It seemed that Second Master Xiao really liked these strange and unconventional items!

"Due to time constraints, let's auction off today's last item!"

Fourth Master Qi raised his hand to look at his watch. It was already 5 o'clock, four hours had already passed, and everyone looked to be tired and annoyed. Thus, he decided to finish today's activities after taking another photo of the collection!

Faang Cheng was also already very tired, although he did not do anything, the excitement and nervousness of his emotions was consuming even more of his spirit, he had already run to who knows where to secretly sleep, he even felt that he could hear Zhang Xiaotian's deafening snores. Looking at Zhou Yan, he still looked at everyone without moving, and that expression on his face … It was as if everyone was an evil person who suddenly stood up and used an AK to rob people!

Faang Cheng carefully placed the last collection of today, the set of seven golden jade combs, onto the display stand in the center. The golden edges of the jade combs shone a little gold under the light, and along with the creamy jade combs, it seemed both elegant and noble!

"The last collection, seven golden jade combs set of Tang Dynasty, will be sold for a full set! "Interested buyers, please come forward and clap your hands!"

His voice was already slightly hoarse.

Faang Cheng noticed that ever since he placed this set of jade combs on the stage, Liu Qingqing's stunned gaze never shifted away from them. She stared at the set of jade combs in a daze, his face revealing undisguised desire.

"I want it!"

Sure enough, she stood up and walked up to the jade hairstyle. She looked at them with infatuation, neither coming closer nor going too far! It seemed to be true. Women would find it difficult to keep their hands on any of the jewelry they liked, not to mention the fact that they were also antiques!

It was rare for this set of golden jade combs to be preserved so completely! Actually, Faang Cheng did not know that they were a set either. He did not even know if there were only seven of them, or maybe … More! However, when he fished out two of them from the clear river, he knew that if he gathered one, it would be an extremely valuable collection. Thus, he had spent a lot of time searching for them!

This jade comb was truly exquisite, very gorgeous. Even Faang Cheng, as a man, had to admit that it was beautiful, and this jade comb was not only its literal meaning. Just a few jade combs, they were also an ornament! These jade combs were the most extravagant ornaments among the noble ladies in the upper class of Tang Dynasty. The entire bodies of these combs were made from Xinjiang and Tian Yu, without any impurities and crystal clear, and the back of their combs was inlaid with different shapes, patterns, and different amounts of golden edges. There were sculpted flowers embedded on the back of the combs, and some of the golden threads were wrapped around them directly, while some of the golden threads were even made into a crown on the back of the combs.

After finishing the eye of the palm, Liu Qingqing reluctantly left the display table and returned to her seat. Her hand clenched the number plate on the counter, waiting for the auction to begin!

Faang Cheng actually hoped that Liu Qingqing could get this set of jade combs, because he felt that Liu Qingqing's temperament seemed to be very suitable for this set of jade combs with gold inlaid.

Sure enough, as soon as the auction started, Liu Qingqing had begun her battle! The starting price of 4 million was raised to 12 million and the bidding price was Second Master Xiao. At this moment, he squinted her eyes and stared at Liu Qingqing, the first three-coloured terracotta soldier had been snatched away by her. If she were to snatch this jade comb away, she would lose her face!

Liu Qingqing's hand tightly gripped the number plate in her hand, her head lowered, as if she was thinking about something. Then, as if she had made her decision, she raised the number plate in her hand.

"20 million!"

Subsequently, everyone present fell silent. After a moment of silence, a commotion broke out in the hall. Second Master Xiao was sitting there with an unsightly expression, as if she was debating whether to continue following them or not.

"This lady has already bid 20 million, this is the highest price that can be seen in the auction hall today. Does anyone else want to increase the price?"

Fourth Master Qi was also surprised. He could accept this jade comb even if it was sold to within 15 million, 20 million … It's too much, this Liu Qingqing probably truly fancied them!

Second Master Xiao's hand that was holding the number plate trembled slightly. Faang Cheng was slightly startled when he saw Liu Qingqing's expression, and then, her gaze drifted over to her. The pair of unusually gentle eyes stared at him, causing Faang Cheng to be at a loss on what to do.

"Second Master Xiao, the price has already been raised to here. If you continue shouting, I can compensate you a few more times, but at that time, it would be alright if I get this jade comb, because no matter what, I do like it, and that money is worth it, but if you spend tens of millions to buy something that you don't really like, then you will lose a lot! "

Liu Qingqing spoke softly and charmingly, causing everyone to lower their voices.

"Besides, this jade comb is clearly more suitable for me, isn't it? Mr Faang, you are a seller, what do you think? "

Faang Cheng saw that everyone's gaze was fixated on him, and he couldn't help but stutter.

"That... I think... I think it really is... It's more suitable for Miss Liu! "

Faang Cheng looked at Liu Qingqing and said the heartfelt words of her heart! Although Faang Cheng's words did not have a decisive effect, Second Master Xiao still dejectedly leaned back in her chair and casually said:

"I'll give it to you!"

"Thank you, Second Master Xiao!"

Seeing that, Liu Qingqing anxiously laughed and said to Second Master Xiao, then turned her gaze to Faang Cheng. Not only was his eyes filled with gratitude, they were also filled with naked appreciation!

"Good!" This set of Tang Dynasty with a gold jade comb will belong to this lady! "

The Fourth Master Qi announced without hesitation. With the last item in hand, the transaction today was completely concluded!

It was as if Faang Cheng had spent the entire day doing physical labor, he sat down on a chair to the side in exhaustion, and started gulping down the water in the bottle! When he glanced at the few large cheques in the cheque folder beside him, he immediately regained the strength he had lost!

Everyone stood up, throwing aside the tit for tat situation at the auction. They were all old friends that were familiar with each other, with Xu Yinan standing in the middle of them, laughing as he spoke.

"I prepared dinner for everyone at Villa Number 3, we … Move forward? "

"Alright!"

"Alright, let's call it a gathering!"

Everyone agreed in succession. No matter what, this was still a good opportunity for them to get along with each other! Thus, aside from Elder Xiang and two other elderly people who took their leave first, the remaining ten people all stayed to have dinner together!

Seeing this, Faang Cheng also planned to tell Xu Yinan that they would not go, these buyers were all familiar with each other, and the three brothers of his would not easily fuse with them, when that time came, it would make everyone uncomfortable!

"Big Brother Xu …"

Faang Cheng had just opened his mouth, but Xu Yinan seemed to have seen through his intentions, and interrupted him.

"Faang Cheng, you have to go! "You are today's main character. If you don't go, then our meal would be meaningless. Furthermore …"

Xu Yinan lowered his voice.

"These people are people with too much money to suppress. It's always good for you to get to know more people like them in your antique business!"

What Xu Yinan had said was true, and it warmed Faang Cheng's heart! Since the Big Brother Xu had already said so, if he still stubbornly refused, then it would seem as if he did not know what was good for him.

"Alright, let's go together!"
