While talking, it was already 11:30 in the morning.

In the largest banquet hall of the Beijing Hotel, at this time, there were already crowded, full of friends, cheers and laughter everywhere, and the scene was very lively.

The guests who were invited to attend the wedding banquet were all gathered. They sat down in their respective seats, and they chatted and chatted while waiting for the start of the wedding banquet.

Today’s wedding banquet is relatively simple. It does not hold a wedding ceremony, it is just a wedding banquet to connect feelings.

Because there have been two ceremonies at homes in Boston and Lishi Hutong, the ceremony was cancelled today.

However, under the instruction of Ye Tian, ​​the staff of the wedding planning company still set up a colorful stage. After all, the procedures on some scenes still have to go.

When it was 11:30 in the morning, Ye Tian took the lead from the lounge on the side of the banquet hall and walked straight to the stage.

There was no master of ceremonies or host at the wedding banquet today. The person who presided over the wedding was Ye Tian himself.

As he appeared, everyone on the scene looked over, and the guests who happened to be sitting near the passage greeted him one after another.

In a blink of an eye, Ye Tian has arrived in the center of the banquet hall, getting closer and closer to the stage in front.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from the side.

"Ye Tian, ​​can you accept this wedding gift? Since I brought it from Shanghai, it is a bit inappropriate to bring it back?"

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately turned his head and looked over.

The speaker is Mr. Liu, a top collector from Shanghai, who is very familiar with Ye Tian. During the Spring Festival last year, Ye Tian also rushed to Shanghai to help him identify artworks.

On the table in front of this person, there is a brocade box, which is not big in size, but looks very delicate.

Obviously, the brocade box contained the wedding gift for Ye Tian and Betty.

Ye Tianchong nodded gently, then smiled and said:

"Mr. Liu, I appreciate your kindness and thank you on behalf of my wife Betty, but I really can’t accept this gift. I have told you before that no money will be charged for this wedding banquet.

Although your gift is not cash, it is an antique artwork, but it must be very valuable, so I cannot accept it. If I accept your gift, wouldn't it embarrass other guests! "

Hearing his explanation, Mr. Liu couldn't help but nodded slightly, his expression still showing some regret.

Before he could respond, Ye Tian continued:

"After the wedding banquet is over, there will be a small charity auction. I will take out some antique works of appropriate value and good quality for public auction.

Among these antique works of art, there are antique works of art from our country and some from the West. The quantity of antique works of art from the East and the West accounts for half.

The starting price of all antique artworks that are on the auction is RMB one yuan. I don’t set a reserve price, but I will set an upper limit lower than the market price so that everyone can participate.

At today’s auction, no matter how the transaction is and the amount of the transaction, I will donate all the proceeds from the auction for the protection of historical sites in China.

In order to ensure openness and transparency, several staff from the Beijing Notary Office will supervise the auction today, and follow up and make public the use of auction funds afterwards.

Since you have brought an antique artwork here, you might as well participate in this public welfare auction and contribute to the protection of domestic heritage sites. I believe this is more meaningful."

Hearing this, the eyes of many guests on the scene suddenly brightened up, and they shined straight.

Everyone originally thought this was just an ordinary wedding banquet, just contact the relationship, but whoever thought that there would be a charity auction after the wedding banquet, and the prices of all the lots were lower than the market price.

With the eyesight and rank of the guy Ye Tian, ​​the antique art he took out for public auction, the quality is definitely not bad, maybe you can find a treasure today.

If you can find a treasure, you will make a lot of money.

When thinking of this, everyone suddenly became more excited, and everyone looked forward to it.

Especially those famous collectors, antique art appraisal experts, as well as several antique dealers from Liulichang, and managers of several famous auction houses.

These guys have secretly geared up, just waiting for the auction to start, and then they end up fighting.

Without any hesitation, Mr. Liu immediately smiled and nodded and said:

"Okay, Ye Tian, ​​this is a good thing, count me!"

"Come on! Then you sit down and taste the food at the Beijing Hotel, I will go to the stage first"

Ye Tian smiled and nodded and said, then stepped out and continued to move forward.

Just as he left, another collector sitting not far from Mr. Liu looked up and asked curiously:

"Old Liu, what baby is in this brocade box, can you take it out to open your eyes?"

Not only the collector, but the rest of the scene also looked at the brocade box on the table, and everyone was curious.

The guests sitting in this area include not only domestic well-known collectors, antique art appraisal experts and other professionals, but also several domestic famous entrepreneurs. Everyone is worth a lot of money.

Mr. Liu turned his head to look at the collector, then glanced at the crowd, only then smiled and solved the mystery.

"The brocade box contains a sketch by Master Lin Fengmian. The title of the painting is "Lotus and Mandarin Duck". Isn't Ye Tian married, so I want to give this painting to him as a gift"

Before he could say anything, there was an exclamation on the scene.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, old Liu, you are really willing, the handwriting is too big! That's Master Lin Fengmian's sketch, you are going to send it out as a wedding gift, did I hear it wrong?

"If Ye Tian knows that this brocade box contains a sketch of Master Lin Fengmian, I don't know if he has the courage to reject this gift and send it to a later auction!"

In the exclamation, Mr. Liu continued to smile and said:

"Everyone must have heard that during the Spring Festival last year, Ye Tian went to Shanghai to help me identify several Western art works. During that trip to Shanghai, he saw through an art scam and let me escape.

was also during that trip to Shanghai. After his appraisal and his help, I was lucky enough to receive two paintings from Picasso’s pastoral period. They are two of the most outstanding Western antique artworks in my collection.

One year later, the value of the two Picasso pastoral paintings has increased a lot, so I took advantage of the opportunity of attending the wedding banquet to bring this sketch of Lin Fengmian to www.novelhall.com~ to show my thanks! "

Before the words fell, the scene was boiling again, almost everyone exclaimed in a low voice.

"Old Liu, I've heard about this, but I didn't expect that you actually received two Picasso paintings that time. The harvest is so great and enviable!"

"Let me go! Two paintings from Picasso's pastoral period are worth tens of millions of dollars, Lao Liu, you really made a lot of money!"

In an exclamation, Mr. Liu nodded proudly and said:

"Yes, I did make a lot of money in that art transaction, but please keep this matter confidential and don’t publicize it."

"Okay, Lao Liu, let's not talk about the two Picasso pastoral paintings, you first take out this sketch of Lin Fengmian, let everyone open their eyes!"

"No problem, I will take out this Chinese painting sketch for everyone to enjoy."

, Mr. Liu gently untied the ribbon that tied the brocade box, opened the delicate brocade box, carefully took out the paintings contained in it, and then slowly unfolded it on the tabletop.

At this time, everyone's eyes are all focused on the painting, everyone is very excited and full of expectations.

On the other side, Ye Tian has already stepped onto the stage and reached out to take the microphone from the staff of the wedding planning company.

The next moment, his clear voice was uploaded from the stage.
