Chapter 354: The lotus blessing
The auction house was quite full when they arrived, Ringo had been right about them being fashionably late.
She heard the whispers when she walked in holding Muyang’s hand with that pink diamond ring on her finger glistening brightly. Nobody could resist taking a look at her hand once they realized who she was.
Even today, the ring was still the talk of the city on and offline. She noticed some jealous looks, some envious looks and some angry looks but she paid them no mind.
Instead she tightened her hold on Muyang’s hand and smiled proudly.
One of the auction house workers led them to a private room where an attendant was waiting to cater to them and also place their bids.
"This auction takes place once every five years, what do they do with the place for the remainder of the time?"
"It’s a show room for painters and exhibitors. The Hua auction may take place once every five years but other auctions are held monthly and yearly.
If somebody discovered buried treasure that is worth something and they want to get maximum value for it, an auction is usually the best option." Muyang explained to her.
"Not an antique shop?"
"It depends but most antique shops sell fake products so the odds of them paying handsomely are low. That’s why I said you should bring your coins to an auction house or lend them to a private gallery. You have genuine Ming dynasty coins sitting in an antique shop with a bunch or fake antiques. Who will possibly ever imagine that they are genuine?"
"The lucky one." She replied in a very unbothered voice.
