When a person is in a high place, friends will become very scarce accordingly.
Being alone and alone, it is too cold to be in high places.
Inviting Xiao Yuyan to the living room, Han Jiulin said with a smile: "You were angry last time in the capital. I thought you would never come to the capital again."
Xiao Yuyan sat on the sofa, looking at the furnishings in the living room, and said: "Tomorrow is the birthday of old man Qin Guan. Last time we were at the Han family, we were bullied by the Han family. Thanks to old man Qin Guan for speaking up for us, me and
Grandpa and the others can stop kneeling on the ground.
Although Old Qin Guan celebrated his birthday this time and did not invite our Xiao family, my grandfather thought of this friendship and asked me to come to the capital to congratulate Old Qin Guan on his birthday tomorrow."
Han Jiulin nodded slightly. Xiao Mofu was a man who knew how to repay his kindness. Old Qin Guan was kind to them and it was appropriate for him to take the initiative to congratulate them on their birthday.
Xiao Yuyan glanced at Han Jiulin and said, "I don't have many friends in the capital, so I wanted to come and meet you first.
But I know that you are in a high position now and are busy with your affairs, so I don’t dare to disturb you easily, so I plan to come to the palace to try my luck."
Having said this, she still felt angry in her heart.
Just now Han Jiulin asked her to leave and said he was going to see off a guest.
She really thought that the relationship between herself and Han Jiulin was going to end.
After all, a large part of the previous friendship between Han Jiulin and the Xiao family was based on cooperation.
Now the Xiao family has no big role for Han Jiulin.
In addition, Han Jiulin has now been promoted to a high position and has become the unparalleled commander-in-chief of the four realms.
Although the Xiao family can be considered a wealthy family in Jinmen, they become increasingly insignificant in front of Han Jiulin.
She really didn't know whether she and Han Jiulin could maintain the previous relationship.
On the way here, Xiao Yuyan was actually very nervous all the time.
She didn't call Han Jiulin in advance. In addition to being afraid of disturbing Han Jiulin, she was also a little worried that Han Jiulin would randomly find an excuse to refuse her.
After much thought, I felt that visiting the palace in person was the best way.
When Han Jiulin deliberately teased her and said the words to see off the guests, Xiao Yuyan almost collapsed!
The moment I turned around, I felt disheartened and sad.
Sure enough, she and Han Jiulin had drifted apart, and their fate ended.
However, before Xiao Yuyan could get into a good mood, Han Jiulin grabbed her again and said he was teasing her!
This made Xiao Yuyan's mood feel like a roller coaster, with too many ups and downs and making it difficult to control herself.
Until now, looking at Han Jiulin's thoughtful face, although I feel happy in my heart, I am also very angry.
After Xiao Yuyan finished speaking, she paused for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "You have done me a terrible job. Now my eyes are red from crying. I don't care, you must compensate me!"
Seeing Xiao Yuyan's coquettish look, Han Jiulin secretly laughed: "No problem, tell me how you want me to compensate you."
Xiao Yuyan smiled, pursed her lips and said, "I want you... to go shopping with me!"
"shop?"
Han Jiulin smiled bitterly and said, "Do you know how I've been spending these days?"
Xiao Yuyan was startled for a moment: "How did you live?"
Han Jiulin said: "Since I became the commander-in-chief of the four realms, I have become a household name. I can be recognized wherever I go. I cannot go out as I like before."
Xiao Yuyan covered her mouth and laughed: "Then what's the problem? You can't co-write with a big star and suffocate to death at home, right?"
Han Jiulin raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean, let me learn from those celebrities and arm myself?"
Xiao Yuyan nodded: "Yes, if you wear a hat and a mask, who can recognize who you are?"
"no."
Han Jiulin shook his head: "After all, I am the commander-in-chief of the four realms. How can I hide my head and face like those celebrities?"
Xiao Yuyan thought about it and retreated to the next best thing:
"I won't let you walk down the street with me. There is a high-end antique auction in Beijing today, and I want to go and see it.
Maybe I can pick out something good and use it to celebrate the birthday of Mr. Qin Guan.
Just accompany me to the antique auction."
"That's okay."
Han Jiulin pondered for a moment and refused no longer.
It just so happened that he was going to celebrate the birthday of old man Qin Guan tomorrow, and he didn't have a suitable birthday gift in hand. He had already sent someone to give some life force to old man Qin Guan before, so bringing life force to the door seemed a bit perfunctory.
Through this antique auction, he can also see if he can choose a suitable birthday gift for old man Qin Guan.
The antique auction started at three o'clock in the afternoon. Han Jiulin took Xiao Yuyan to play in the palace for a while, and also went boating on the lake for a while.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them went out together and took a car to the auction venue.
Before leaving, in order not to cause a sensation, Han Jiulin changed into casual clothes, put on a cap and a mask, and armed himself.
Although I am somewhat reluctant to dress up like this, it is better than being watched by others and causing unnecessary disturbance.
The antique auction venue is located in a teahouse outside the east gate of Liulichang Ancient Culture Street.
Because it is a relatively high-end auction, it is a semi-public auction, and those who can participate are mostly prominent and powerful figures in the capital, except for some well-known figures in the capital's antique shops.
If ordinary people want to participate in an auction of this level, if they are not recommended by an acquaintance, they have to check their financial resources. If they don't have millions in deposits, they won't even be able to enter the tea house.
Since Han Jiulin travels in a low-key manner, he will naturally not take his Audi A8L, but even so, he will take an Audi A6L with a special license plate.
After taking the bus to the vicinity of Liulichang, because the road was relatively smooth and there was no traffic jam, there was still half an hour before the auction started.
Xiao Yuyan then suggested that she first go around Liulichang Street to see if she could find any good items.
Han Jiulin agreed, got out of the car and let the driver go first, and then walked into Liulichang East Street with Xiao Yuyan.
Liulichang Street, both sides of the street are lined with ancient buildings.
There were people riding rickshaws and bicycles going back and forth on the street, and cars would also drive by slowly from time to time.
There are also many Chinese people and foreign tourists visiting here.
Every few steps you walk, you can see shops selling antique calligraphy and paintings. Most of the plaques on both sides of the shops say: Baohetang, Hanmo Studio, Antique Market, Cultural Exchange Center and the like.
From the door or window of the shop, you can see all kinds of weird antiques of various ages.
