Cecilia very happy Saturday. When she chatted the surprised discovery, Old Man Han has the good artistic attainments unexpectedly, the character written with a writing brush that the elderly man wrote she did not understand, the Chinese ink painting actually a little understood, the art was the same. 塞西莉亚过了个很愉快的星期六。她聊天时惊讶发现,韩老爷子居然有着不错的艺术造诣,老人家写的毛笔字她不太懂,中国水墨却有点了解,艺术都是相同的。 But living room Titian's that sacred dialogue, is lets her luckily, Cecilia is the creation classicism oil painting, this time can the short distance appreciate to the Grandmaster work unexpectedly, is really trip has not been made in vain. 而客厅里提香的那幅神圣对话,更是让她幸喜不已,塞西莉亚本身就是创作古典主义油画,这次居然能近距离欣赏到大师作品,真是不虚此行。 Small Anya was also very happy. 小安雅也很高兴。 Under mother gradually influences, she is not a mischievous person, now also has the intimate little Elder Brother to accompany, two people when library secure awaited calmly for several hours occasionally chat, the time passes quickly, this is a marvelous feeling. 在母亲熏陶下,她本就不是个顽皮的人,如今又有贴心小哥哥陪伴着,两人在图书室里安静待了几个小时之余偶尔聊聊天,时间过得很快,这是种奇妙的感觉。 That delicious lunch special, the Chinese flavor reminded her of the great grandmother, the kitten became lively, being able to fall asleep that last night she was worried about, then felt relieved finally. 还有那顿美味午餐,中国风味让她想起了曾祖母,小猫变得活泼起来,昨晚她担心的睡不着,这下终于放心了。 In the afternoon, Cecilia brings home Anya, the little girl does not abandon leaves the only friend, must often relate with the Han Xuan agreement pitiful, honk the small mouth lovable appearance is making this old and young heart melt. 下午时分,塞西莉亚带着安雅回家,小女孩不舍离开唯一的朋友,可怜兮兮和韩宣约定要常联系,嘟着小嘴可爱模样让这一家老少心都融化了。 Therefore over the following several hours, Han Xuan passed in absent-minded, not only Anya has no friend, small Han Xuan is also same. 于是接下来几个小时,韩宣都在恍恍惚惚中度过,不仅安雅没什么朋友,小韩宣也是一样。 Father Han rebukes oneself in the one side, son's same age partner were too truly few. Intelligently is only a child, McDull will also not speak again, now are many kitten Fatty. 韩父在一旁自责,儿子的同龄伙伴确实太少了。再聪明也只是个孩子,麦兜又不会说话,现在还多了个小猫胖丁。 Helpless shakes the head, the secretly thought son gets up is any strange name. 无奈摇摇头,暗道儿子起得都是什么怪名字。 This situation continues to stop to the evening, because evening's charity auction must start. 这种情况持续到傍晚才停止,因为晚上的慈善拍卖会就要开始了。 Although United States is the country that an immigrant composes, population from the world, but generally speaking, in this national eye only then the Caucasians and other person of two types, the racial discrimination exist in each corner, obviously Old Man Han rushes out the gigantic family property to have many in this place is not easy. 虽说美国是个移民组成的国家,人口来自世界各地,但总的来说,这个国家眼里只有白人和其他人两种,种族歧视存在于各个角落,可见韩老爷子在这个地方闯出硕大家业有多不容易。 The auction and meeting always become friends with the good place of business partner, cannot rush to the reputation in this circle single-handedly forever. But the nature is a little different today, except for giving the orphans donates money, to young generation of mutual understanding platform. 拍卖会和聚会从来都是结交生意伙伴的好地方,单枪匹马在这个圈子里永远也闯不出名头。只不过今天性质有点不同,除了给孤儿们捐款,还有就是给年轻一辈相互认识的平台。 American is never parsimonious in the donation, was exploited by the hateful tax bureau with it, might as well make the good deed abundant good reputation, but can also avoid taxes legitimately, kills two birds with one stone, who does not want to do. 美国人从不吝啬于捐款,与其被可恶的税务局剥削,不如做点好事博个好名声,还可以合法避税,一举两得,谁不想干呢。 The auction location decides in famous Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts, in Manhattan Park Avenue, is not far from Han Xuan, therefore until afternoon 6 0.4 ten them, only has several minutes of distance. 拍卖会场地定在著名的华尔道夫酒店,就在曼哈顿派克大道,离韩宣家并不远,所以直到下午六点四十他们才出发,只有几分钟路程。 Old style Aston Martin stops in the entrance, quick has the waiter to help open the vehicle door, when the whole family gets out, arrives at the parking lot it. 老式阿斯顿马丁停在门口,很快就有侍者帮着打开车门,等一家人下车,将其开到停车场。 Han Xuan reorganizes the good clothes, the black suit with the small leather shoes, putting on is not very uncomfortable, walks is restrained the hands and feet. Because this herd two generations of previous generation that special volume, from not the opportunity across the suit, envied others at that time, now changed thin instead nitpicked, really will be the talent that could not obtain will be in a tumult. 韩宣整理好衣服,黑色西装配小皮鞋,穿起来很不舒服,走路都被约束着手脚。这个牧二代前世由于那特殊体积,从没机会穿过西装,当时还羡慕别人,如今变瘦反而挑剔了,果然是得不到的才会骚动。 Walked to turn head to look all around toward, Han Xuan raised the head to the grandfather asks: „How some so many Chinese?” 往里走扭头四周看了看,韩宣抬起头对爷爷问道:“怎么有那么多华人？” „Today is the Chinese American chamber of commerce organizes to initiate, other invited business partner” Old Man Han walks while said: „Grandson you comes for the first time, how feels?” “今天就是美国华人商会组织发起的啊,其他都是被邀请的生意伙伴”韩老爷子边走边说道:“孙子你还是第一次来吧,感觉怎么样？” „Does not get together with our farm in similarly.” Han Xuan shrugs. “不就和我们农场里聚会差不多。”韩宣耸耸肩。 „Haha, truly almost.” “哈哈,确实差不多。” The old gentleman said that pulls the Han Xuan small hand, often has nearby person to notify him, 11 smile nods, now are not the time of chat, after the auction, has a cocktail party. 老爷子说完牵起韩宣小手,不时有附近人跟他打招呼,一一微笑点头,现在不是聊天的时间,拍卖后还有个酒会。 Examines the invitation, the aide leads him to go to the conference site to sit down politely, the first row by the aisle position, the difference is very convenient. 检验完请柬,侍从客气带领他去会场坐下,第一排靠走道位置,出入都很方便。 The people had come much, half big child are also many, calmly sits side the parents, family education very strict appearance. 人已经来了不少,半大的孩子也很多,在父母身边静静坐着,家教都很严的样子。 But Han does not treat as the child Han Xuan, naturally, here refers to psychologically, clever grandson clever son love cannot be few. 而韩家早就不把韩宣当作小孩,当然,这里指的是心理上,乖孙子乖儿子该疼爱的绝不能少。 Father Han is like Han Xuan, how knits a bow tie to put is not familiar with, 韩父跟韩宣一样,打个领结怎么放都不习惯, Probably on the buttocks the nail, was stared to be calm and steady by old Grandma steadily, sits sighed on the chair, if we had known does not come... the old gentleman to find his appearance, is nerve-racking secretly, sighed lacks successors, the split vision shot a look at the grandson to install the heart, held the Han Xuan small hand to look to the onstage, before long the light tarnish, the auction started. 像是屁股上长了钉子,被老奶奶瞪了眼才安稳,坐在椅子上感叹,早知道不来了...老爷子瞧见他模样,暗自伤神,感叹后继无人,余光瞥到孙子才安下心,抓住韩宣小手看向前台,不一会儿灯光变暗,拍卖会开始了。 Front a half hour actually spoke, not only these foreigners, somewhat were sleepy including the surroundings Chinese, Han Xuan drooped the head to support, awaited calmly this „national essence” the conclusion with the hand. 前面半小时竟然都是演讲,不只是那些老外,连周围华人都有些瞌睡,韩宣耷拉着脑袋用手撑住,静待这“国粹”的结束。 Finally, with the quite intense applause, seems cheering or divulges, Chinese steps down the stage not to stop, the senior auctioneer who does not know the circumstances of the matter mounts the stage somewhat in a terrified way, does not have to think oneself are so popular. 终于,随着阵相当激烈的掌声,仿佛是在喝彩又或是宣泄,老华人走下台都没停止,不知情的老拍卖师上台有些惶恐,没想到自己这么受欢迎。 A woman goes out from the side gate quickly, in the hand holds a wooden box, places in central stone platform gently, the auctioneer puts out a hand, inside was the sea of Song fishes the porcelain tray. 一个女人很快从侧门走出,手里捧着个木盒,轻轻放在中央的石台上,拍卖师伸手,里面是件宋代的海捞瓷盘。 The sea fishes the porcelain to save the world quantity to be many, several hundred years soak the physical appearance in the sea water are poor, shouted 2-3 prices were then bought, 2000 US dollars, are very high. 海捞瓷存世量很多,数百年泡在海水中品相不怎么好,喊了2-3次价便被人买去,两千美元,已经很高了。 Front several are not the famous gadget, the most precious enamel color rock flowers and plants mark small bottle is the Old Man Zhao donation, oneself spent 150,000 US dollars buying, annoyed one pile of supercilious looks. 前面几件都是不出名的玩意儿,最贵重的珐琅彩山石花卉纹小瓶还是都是赵老爷子捐赠,自己又花十五万美元给买了回去,惹来一堆白眼。 The foreigners lack to the Chinese antique interest, when there is a Western aristocrat thing fights, one set the viscounts of more than 100 years of history have used the silverware, lays out 300,000 US dollars unexpectedly. What is more surprising, the 1820s commemorative edition Coca-Cola jar, was sold for 5000 dollars, a Han Xuan almost old blood spurts, without the history is really fearful. 老外们对中国古董兴致缺缺,等有西方贵族用品时才争抢,一套才一百多年历史的子爵用过的银器,居然拍出30万美元。更让人惊讶的是,一个十九世纪二十年代的纪念版可口可乐罐子,被卖到5000美金,韩宣差点一口老血喷出来,没历史真可怕。 The Chinese immigration belt/bring comes out many good things, the Giuseppe Castiglione's who for example is patting « Campaign Qiu Ming " chart, as the foreigner in Chinese most famous representative, his One Hundred Horses hides in Taipei National Palace Museum, as one of the town/subdues hall three treasures, even the overseas are still well-known. 华人移民带出来不少好东西,比如正在拍的这幅郎世宁的《平野秋鸣》图,做为外国人在中国最出名的代表人物,他的百骏图藏在台北故宫博物馆,作为镇馆三宝之一,即使是国外也广为人知。 This picture has been called 350,000 dollars to be bought by Old Man Han, cheerful and is staring at the auctioneer's platform, makes the charity in any case, the price high spot is also indifferent. 这幅画一直被叫到35万美金才被韩老爷子买下,乐呵呵的又盯着拍卖台,反正是做慈善,价格高点也无所谓。 Helpless small Han Xuan sighed: „In the world really has the good luck person...” 小韩宣无奈叹了口气:“世上果然有好运气的人啊…” A each article antique mounts the stage to be patted, the charity auction rarely has the class/flow racket. Many person and Old Man Han was the same, the treasure of liking strolled the circle outside , was bought by oneself, Tang Bohu's mountain static day long chart, old gentleman that greedy, wished one could to set out to mount the stage to give to snatch. 一件件古董上台又被拍走,慈善拍卖很少有流拍的。好多人和韩老爷子一样,喜欢的宝贝在外面逛了圈,又被自己买回去,其中唐伯虎的山静日长图,老爷子那个眼馋啊,恨不得起身上台给抢过来。 Without the means that for friendly disposition leads to wealth, saw with own eyes that the original masters must stamp one's foot, the price is also 190,000 US dollars, is similar to its real price, Old Man Han puts down in the hand resentfully the wooden sign. 没办法,为了和气生财,眼见原主人都要跳脚了,价格也达到19万美元,和它真实价格差不多,韩老爷子才悻悻放下手中木牌。 The auction had ended originally, above broadcasts the voice of senior auctioneer: „ladies and gentlemen, this charity auction altogether collected 3.705 million US dollars, I represent the pitiful orphan to express gratitude to you.” 拍卖原本已经结束,上面又传来老拍卖师的声音:“各位先生女士,这次慈善拍卖总共筹集了三百七十万五千美元,我代表可怜的孤儿向你们表示感谢。” „Asked everyone to wait a bit the little while, our auction room received an request, having a thing was 100 years flows from China, wishing the master to sell out it, I thinks you should interested, again how if can add one to auction?” The auctioneers inquired, beckoned, a black person held the wooden frame to get on the stage, opened covers in its scarlet cloth. “不过请各位稍等会儿,我们拍卖行接到一份委托,有件东西是一百年从中国流出来的,愿主人想要卖掉它,我想你们应该会有兴趣的,如果可以再加一场拍卖如何？”拍卖师询问道,招招手,一位黑人托着木架走上台,揭开盖在它身上的红布。 „beast head?” “兽首？” Under the stage some people make noise surprisedly. 台下有人惊讶出声。 „Racket!” “拍！” Old Man Han sits the straight body suddenly, Han Xuan is alarmed by him, turns head to look, the bronze horse's head holds up the head to stand upright. 韩老爷子猛然坐直身子,韩宣被他惊动,扭头看去,青铜马头昂首挺立。 On the stage the auctioneer nods: „Starting bid price 100,000 US dollars, after mounting the stage to come to see, can bid.” 台上拍卖师点点头:“起拍价十万美元,上台来看过之后就可以出价。” Small Han Xuan was astonished, not only because of seeing beast head, but is this price... 小韩宣惊愕了,不仅是因为看到兽首,而是这价格… „Also too cabbage!” “也太白菜了吧！” Mounted the stage to gather round horse Shouzhuan several, rushed to put out a hand to spill the grandfather, small sound said: „Buys.” 上台围着马首转了几圈,赶忙伸出手拉拉爷爷,小声道:“买下来。” Under the stage bids the sound continuously, then adds to 220,000 US dollars quickly, the old gentleman nods, had not spoken. 台下出价声此起彼伏,很快便加到22万美元,老爷子点点头,一直没吭声。 After 700,000, bid the speed slowly then, 350,000 increasing price also turned into 10,000 to add upward, at this time old gentleman raised the hand: „900,000!” 到了七十万之后,出价速度便慢了下来,三五万的加价也变成五千五千往上加,这时老爷子才举起了手:“九十万！” Surroundings very tacit static, after a half minute, has a foreigner saying: „920,000 US dollars.” 周围很默契的静了静,半分钟后才有个老外说道:“九十二万美元。” Han Xuan was immediately happy, this request was also too obvious. 韩宣顿时就乐了,这托也太明显了吧。 The old gentleman looked that has not opened the mouth to that side, the foreigner perspiration must brave, this hears an immature sound: „920,500.” 老爷子看向那边没开口,老外汗都要冒出来,这才听到个稚嫩声音:“九十二万五百。” „920,500 US dollars? Also do some people increase price? First, two and three ! Congratulates your mister, this holding turned over to you!” Senior auctioneer busy quick, inquired that two then fell the hammer. “九十二万五百美元？还有人加价吗？一、二、三、啪！恭喜您先生,这件藏品归您了！”老拍卖师这次忙的很快,询问两声便落了锤。 beast head first auction, the overseas have not known value, looked that the senior auctioneer appearance knows. 兽首第一次拍卖,国外还不知道其中的价值,看老拍卖师模样就知道。 Regards 12 beast head with it is the artware, rather they are the miniature of entire time, a miniature of Chinese century humiliation history. Harmony expensive/noble gorgeous circle bright circle, more than hundred years ago these beast head were cut by the westerner before Haiyantang, Han Xuan mounts the stage to feel that neck break place, but can also feel the blade axe mark. 与其将十二兽首当成是艺术品,不如说它们是整个时代的缩影,华人一个世纪屈辱历史的缩影。雍贵华美的圆明圆,百多年前这些兽首在海晏堂前被西方人砍下,韩宣上台摸着那脖子断裂处,还能感觉到刀斧印记。 The old gentleman sets out to hold the fist in the other hand to the surroundings person, thanks them not to raise prices. Mostly is a Chinese, in those days in the internal disputes, the victory and loss from the family affairs, cannot make others get the bargain. 老爷子起身对周围人抱拳,感激他们没有抬价。大多都是华人,往日里窝里斗,输赢都是自家事,总不能让旁人沾了便宜。 The surrounding person respectful cups one hand in the other across the chest to the old gentleman, accompanies walks toward the banquet hall, Han Xuan holds horse head to be distracted, follows in side. 周围人恭敬对老爷子拱拱手,结伴往宴会厅走去,韩宣抱着马首走神,跟在旁边。 Now Huaxia just now opens, is far less than the future, in the future some people will buy this thing to be scolded stupid by the people, actually looks like the nouveau riche, looked down upon their people to shout to the past in: „father had money! Spoke to pull out your face again!” 现在华夏才刚开放,远不如将来,往后有人买下这东西被国人骂蠢,其实就像是暴发户,对往日里看不起他们的人喊道:“老子有钱了！再说话抽你脸！” This is a very bewildered mood, every time takes back one looks like can increase a strength of spirit, making one raised the head to walk, for example put on a high and mighty act Old Man Han, periphery looks at this moment to people of child. 这是种很莫名其妙的情绪,每收回一个就像是能增加点骨气,让人抬起头走路,比如此刻趾高气昂的韩老爷子,还有周围看向小孩的人们。 Han Xuan can know that the future road, they actually do not know, here without the support of powerful motherland, they like not having root duckweed. 韩宣能知道未来的路,他们却不知道,在这里没有强盛祖国的支持,他们就像没有根的浮萍。 Evening banquet that should live it up, Han Xuan is similar to drinks something tasteless, sits in the table is shaking the calf, often touches the horse head. 本该热闹的晚宴,韩宣如同嚼蜡,坐在桌边晃着小腿,不时摸摸马脑袋。 Distant place Father Han is chatting, how the smile sees stiffly, helpless Han Xuan shakes the head, walks up to break through: „Father, I was sleepy, goes home to be good.” 远处韩父在跟人聊天,笑容怎么看都僵硬,韩宣无奈摇摇头,走上前去解围:“爸爸,我瞌睡了,回家好不好。” „... Good.” “等…好。” A taxi stops in the roadside, when are not many in the room the light shines, kitten Fatty runs over immediately. 一辆出租车停在路边,不多时房间里灯光亮起,小猫胖丁立马跑过来。 Han Xuan holds it, sees the father several antiques, places on the wooden frame together with horse, satisfaction nods to move toward the kitchen. 韩宣将它抱起来,见父亲把几件古董,连同马首放在木架上,满意点点头走向厨房。 Should give Fatty to prepare the dinner. 该给胖丁准备晚餐了。 Welcome the general book friends to visit reading, latest, quickest and hottest serial publication performs in the mobile phone user welcome to reading. 欢迎广大书友光临阅读,最新、最快、最火的连载作品尽在手机用户请到阅读。
