  Chapter 137 Treasure Appreciation Club (23)

  Just as Zuo Yi and Baoer were sitting in the Ferris wheel admiring the fireworks, Zhou Hong had just arrived at the gate of Jinhu Villa.

  Jumho Villa is located in Lingshan National Forest Park, about 20 kilometers away from the main city of Hangzhou. It is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and the natural environment is very superior. It can be called a place of beauty.

  This manor hidden by the mountains and lakes has a total of 36 villas. The history of construction can be traced back to a hundred years ago.

  It is not the first time for Zhou Hong to come to Kumho Villa, but every time he comes, he feels the same.

   That is to feel one's own smallness and lowliness.

Relying on the ability of "Platinum Pupils", Zhou Hong has earned a wealth that others cannot accumulate in a few lifetimes in just a few years. Not worth mentioning.

  It is said that a villa here is worth at least a billion yuan, and there is no price in the market, and the owner will never sell it.

  Drip~

  After carefully checking Zhou Hong's ID card and invitation letter, the security personnel opened the gate and signaled him to go in.

   Zhou Hong drove his white Audi carefully through the long security check channel.

  With Zhou Hong’s financial resources, let alone BBA, buying a supercar for fun is not a big pressure, but he has a cautious personality, and in line with the principle of not revealing his wealth, he usually travels by this low-key A4.

  Passing through the security check channel, walked along the spacious, straight and tidy driveway for 200 meters, and then turned right into a fork road. Zhou Hong parked his Audi in front of a villa facing the lake.

  This villa has a very distinct southern garden style, with white walls and gray tiles in simple tones, facing south and facing the lake, it seems to blend in with the surrounding mountains and rivers.

   There are already more than a dozen cars parked in front of the villa, among which there are many top luxury cars like Rolls-Royce Phantom, and some of the same grade as Zhou Hong.

   Zhou Hong got out of the car with a long wooden box and came to the main entrance, and showed the invitation letter to the security personnel again.

   Zhou Hong was able to enter the villa after the security personnel checked his belongings.

  The courtyard is deeply antique, with pavilions, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water. With the help of ancient palace lanterns, he walked through the path covered with rain flower stones and came to the front hall.

   "Xiao Zhou is here."

  A white-haired old man in a Tang suit saw Zhou Hong who had just entered, and immediately asked with a smile, "What treasure did you bring over today to open our eyes?"

  His voice was exceptionally loud, and immediately attracted the attention of dozens of guests, men, women and children in the hall.

   Zhou Hong was caught off guard, under the gaze of many eyes, his face became swollen, and he said quickly: "President Chang, in front of you and other seniors, I dare not make a fool of myself!"

  This old man in Tang suit is Chang An, the president of Jiangnan Antique Collection Association, and he has known Zhou Hong for several years.

  Chang An has a high prestige in the Jiangnan collection circle, he is bold and generous, and has a very wide network of contacts in the circle, but he just likes to joke.

   Zhou Hong was often teased by him before.

   "You guy, you never tell half the truth."

  Chang An snorted: "If you don't dare to make a fool of yourself, why do you come here? How many times have I told you that young people should have the vigor of young people, and don't be lifeless like us old guys."

  You can also be regarded as lifeless?

   Zhou Hong couldn't help but smiled wryly and said: "You're right, in fact, I came here mainly to attract others, and to gain insights and open my eyes."

  Chang An shook his head disapprovingly, but he didn't make things difficult for him anymore: "Come on, let me introduce some friends to you."

   Zhou Hong secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly followed.

   Tonight in Jinhu Mountain Villa, a villa facing the lake, is a regular private treasure appreciation event. The owner invited some well-known figures in the Jiangnan collection circle to come with their own treasures to exchange and appreciate them.

  As a rising star in the circle, Zhou Hong was appreciated by Chang An and other seniors because of his brilliant eyesight and many successful pick-ups, and was able to mix into this high-end small circle.

   This is also of great help to him, because he can get a lot of useful information here.

   "Brother Zhou Hong?"

  After getting to know a few collectors recommended by Chang An, Zhou Hong had just placed the wooden box he brought on the display table when he heard a pleasant voice behind him.

  Zhou Hong quickly turned around, showing a bright smile: "Hello Miss Yu, we meet again."

   Greeting Zhou Hong was a young woman in her twenties. Although her appearance was not stunning, she was delicate and charming, and she stood gracefully in a white dress, like a magnolia flower that had just bloomed.

   Zhou Hong used great efforts to conceal the joy and excitement of seeing the beautiful woman again.

  One of the important reasons why he came to this private treasure appreciation party tonight was for the Miss Yu Wantingyu in front of him.

  Yu Wanting is the youngest daughter of Yu Juncai, who is the owner of this lakeside villa and the chairman of Jiangnan Yushi Group!

Zhou Hong got to know Yu Wanting because of the Yu Family Treasure Appreciation Association, and he deeply admired this beautiful and charming woman. Buried in the bottom of my heart.

   "Just call me Wanting."

  Yu Wanting smiled slightly and said, "Brother Zhou Hong, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

   Yes, we haven't seen each other for four months and seven days!

   Zhou Hong almost blurted out.

"yes."

  He nodded and smiled and asked, "How are you recently?"

"I…"

  Yu Wanting just said a word, and suddenly a girl rushed over and grabbed her slender waist, and widened her eyes at Zhou Hong: "It's you again, what? Do you want to chase our sister Wanting?"

  This girl is eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a bright yellow short skirt, she looks pretty but has a bad face.

   It was as if Zhou Hong was a prisoner.

   Zhou Hong recognized that the other party was Yu Wanting's cousin Tang Wenwen, and subconsciously felt guilty.

  Tang Wenwen has a weird personality. Zhou Hong has dealt with her once, and he knows that she is not easy to mess with.

   "Wenwen, what nonsense are you talking about!"

  Yu Wanting patted Tang Wenwen lightly, and said angrily, "Brother Zhou Hong is a guest of our treasure appreciation party, and he didn't offend you."

"Humph."

  Tang Wenwen wrinkled her nose and asked, "Zhou Hong, what treasure did you bring over today? Let me see!"

  Yu Wanting also showed a curious look.

   Zhou Hong quickly unfolded the long wooden box and took out the contents: "I brought a sword."

"cut!"

Seeing the items that Zhou Hong had just brought out, Tang Wenwen immediately sneered and said, "Zhou Hong, you are too insincere. Don't you know that the most collected items in Huxuan are swords? There are more than a dozen works by top masters. You this..."

   She looked at the pale golden long sword in Zhou Hong's hand, and shook her head disdainfully—too lazy to comment!

  Yu Wanting's father, Yu Juncai, is not only the helm of a large group, but also an excellent swordsman himself. He has a professional seven-dan Wumeng certificate and loves swords very much.

  He spent a huge amount of money to collect more than a dozen works of top masters, and the number of ordinary masters and famous masters is even more.

   Zhou Hong came here today with a long sword as an exhibit, isn't it just playing a big sword in front of Guan Gong?

  Yu Wanting tugged at her cousin and said, "Brother Zhou Hong's sword is very beautiful."

   Zhou Hong's sword is still hidden in the scabbard, just looking at the scabbard is quite beautiful, with a little bit of starlight on the surface.

  She wanted to help Zhou Hong talk, but Tang Wenwen almost burst out laughing: "It's so beautiful..."

  Tang Wenwen knows swords, and also learns swords. She has seen several masterpieces collected by Yu Juncai, all of which are simple, luxurious and restrained, not fancy like this.

   Zhou Hong's sword has not been drawn out of its sheath, she has already beaten it into the ranks of sensationalists!

   Tang Wenwen's ridicule was so obvious that Yu Wanting, who had a gentle personality, couldn't help but give her a blank look.

   Zhou Hong held the long sword in his hand, so embarrassed that he didn't know where to put it.

  His eloquence is not good, and it is impossible to refute.

   Didn't dare to confront Tang Wenwen.

   "Guests..."

  At this moment, a calm and powerful voice suddenly sounded in the hall: "Welcome everyone to participate in tonight's treasure appreciation party!"
