Chapter 289: East Fence Picking Decorations Talking about Chongyang
The general was angry in his heart, and he suppressed his anger and pretended to be light-hearted: "Since you want to show your sincerity, you will quote the highest price of today's transaction, and buy this calligraphy and painting for 10,000 yuan." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The strong man stared at the almond in surprise, and said with a smile: "Ah, will the general really be so sincere? It seems that the general is really like this calligraphy and painting, as the saying goes, the gentleman does not win the love of people, since you are so rare, in the next day will be the beauty of adulthood, then let it be to the general!"
The strong man grinned, and Jia Qiang immediately quoted quite tacitly: "The adult will be 10,000 taels once, the adult will be 12,000 or 22, and the adult will be 123 times, and there is no higher, if there is not, then the deal will be sold!" ”
Only then did the surnamed general understand that he had fallen for the man's way.
There are rules in this auction, since the bid is reported, unless the target of the auction is a fake, otherwise, it is absolutely not renegable, not to mention that under the witness of many officials, even if it is 100,000 taels, he has to admit it obediently.
Today he came prepared, that is, to buy the ink treasure of the concubine Niangniang, gritted his teeth and asked the housekeeper to hand over the silver ticket, accepted the calligraphy and painting, and impulsively, he really wanted to throw it on the ground in public and step on it a few times.
Seeing that the transaction was successful, Jia Qiang hurriedly took out another calligraphy and painting by Shi Xiangyun, and said with a smile: "Uncle Xue, it's not difficult if you want to be Dongdong, and there is still a calligraphy and painting for your old friend of Pillow Xia." ”
"Okay, read it to me. The strong man laughed.
Jia Qiang shook her head and sang: "Playing the piano and pouring wine is happy, and a few cases are embellished." The incense is divided into three paths, and the book-thrower is on a branch of autumn. The frost clear paper tent comes to a new dream, and the garden is cold and the sun reminisces about the old tour. Proud of the world also because of the same smell, the spring breeze peach and plum are not drowned. ”
"It's a good 'next seat of incense is divided into three paths, and the book thrower is on a branch of autumn', which is a different artistic conception from the one just now. Without waiting for Jia Qiang to finish singing, everyone applauded and said: "Well written, the old friend of Pillow Xia is worthy of being a woman among women, the article is chic and uninhibited, noble and proud, we are naturally not worthy of being touched, let's let Uncle Xue be the host." ”
"What's the reserve price?" asked the strong man with a smile as he thanked everyone.
"Back to Uncle Xue's words, twenty taels of silver. Jia Qiang smiled and bowed down to reply, almost flattering.
The strong man picked up the forty taels of silver that Wei Ruolan forgot to take away on the case, put it into the tray held by Sweeping Hong, and shouted to everyone: "Oh, if you want to say that this calligraphy and painting is worth 100,000 taels of silver, but, uncle, I am really embarrassed to be shy today, so I will pay forty taels of silver to buy this calligraphy and painting." Everyone, don't fight with me, you have conceded, you have conceded......"
Feng Ziying hated the surnamed general for refuting her face, and took the opportunity to scold: "Uncle Xue, the gentleman has something to do and something not to do, everyone knows that you are standing up for Lord Wei, if anyone fights with you, then he is grandma's bastard turtle king eight lambs......"
"Thank you, Brother Ziying, for your love, thank you for your success!" The strong man hugged his fists and worshiped for a week, because he smiled and said to the general: "Ashamed, ashamed, Xue is now in the middle of the road, and he is not as good as in the past, so don't fight with my uncle." ”
The adult was so angry that he couldn't speak, he was stunned for a while, and was about to make a sarcastic speech, but he saw the strong man hook his fingers, and ordered the little guy to follow to take out a calligraphy and painting, and said to Jia Qiang with a smile: "This is a poem made by the sister when she was not out of the cabinet, and the calligraphy and painting are all written by the sister, and it is donated today, which can be regarded as a slight expression of patriotism." ”
Jia Qiang hurriedly bowed down and took it with both hands, and when she unfolded it, it was a white begonia with ink and blue, and a song of seven laws was inscribed in the upper left corner. The rouge washes out the shadow of the autumn steps, and the ice and snow attract the soul of the dew. The light pole knows that the flowers are more colorful, and the jade is more sorrowful. If you want to pay for the white emperor, you should be clean, and you will be silent and dim. ”
"Poetry and painting are like people, the concubine is really dignified and noble, but elegant and fresh, good poetry, good poetry......"
The officials who knew Xue Pan flattered first, and the others understood after hearing it, no wonder this strong man was so big, it turned out to be Xue Pan, the brother of the concubine Niangniang, many of them came to the concubine Niangniang's Mo Bao, and immediately praised continuously, but they didn't dare to take the lead in bidding, lest the price quoted was low, which would make the overlord unhappy.
According to the rules, Jia Qiang should offer the reserve price first, but he has been mixing in the scene for a long time, and he knows that he can't follow the reserve price just now, so he simply asked the dumb overlord: "Uncle Xue, your old calligraphy and painting is a treasure, and the little nephew doesn't dare to bid casually......"
Xue Pan smiled cheekily: "The sister is now the concubine Niangniang, her ink treasure, I am usually reluctant to let people look at it, this is not in response to the will of the saint, I want to raise money for the imperial court, I am now shy in my pocket, but I can't take out much silver, so I can't bear to cut my love, take out this calligraphy and painting, at least, I have to help the concubine Niangniang raise 10,000 taels of silver, right?"
Xue Pan because of the new emperor's enthronement amnesty to the world, so, released home early, because of his sister's relationship, the business is also booming, but, after all, the Xue family since he ate the lawsuit, in order to save his life, almost exhausted all the family wealth, sometimes the scale of investment is larger, but also overstretched, at this time, he took the opportunity to take out his sister's calligraphy and paintings, to take a ride to auction, to earn tens of thousands of silver flowers, he thought, Jia Fu will definitely give him all the silver auctioned, and it will not be discounted.
If you say, this calligraphy and painting is not only dignified and concise poetry, calligraphy is also quite experienced, and the pasting is quite exquisite, because it is Xue Baochai's proud work, so, it was originally hung in her boudoir, and she did not bring it when she married into the Beijing Palace, but stayed at home, saying that she was married into the palace, and it was rare for mother and daughter to meet, and left this calligraphy and painting to her mother as a thought, if it were not for Xue Pan in the name of raising donations for the emperor, Aunt Xue categorically refused to let him take it out and sell it.
As soon as Jia Qiang heard this, she immediately quoted the reserve price: "The concubine Niangniang donated a piece of calligraphy and calligraphy, and the reserve price was 10,000 taels of silver, and the adults began to bid for the auction." ”
"Fifteen thousand taels of silver!" The first to offer the price was an imperial merchant, and it is said that the annual rouge gouache and colorful embroidered brocade in the palace were purchased from his shop.
Lord Tobe followed up with the offer: "Sixteen thousand taels!"
"Eighteen thousand!" "A certain adult wants to climb the high branch of the concubine, because Xue Baochai is quite self-disciplined and does not leave people a way to bribe, this is a good opportunity to befriend the uncle of the country.
The adults beat themselves to know the identity of the strong man, and their faces were bruised with fright, and now everyone in the government and the opposition knows that the emperor is most favored by Xue Guifei now, and I don't know how Xue Guifei is left and right, even the queen mother also favors her, not only does not have the slightest jealousy, but reprimands the concubines who are jealous, and they are not allowed to play with the rights and wrongs of the concubines.
I took the wrong medicine today, and this person was desperately afraid that he couldn't do it, so why did he hurry to offend.
immediately thought in his heart, no matter what, even if he gave up this old face, he would ask for the understanding of Uncle Guo.
Immediately took out the calligraphy and painting that was photographed for 10,000 taels of silver, presented it with his hands with sincere fear, and said in a high-sounding manner, the gentleman does not win people's love, he took this calligraphy and painting, and he originally planned to give it to Uncle Xue for disposal.
"Oh, Lord Jiang is too polite, I knew that this painting was given to me, so I shouldn't have bid with adults in the future, and I will lose 10,000 taels of silver. Xue Pan didn't shirk, took the calligraphy and painting and handed it to the little guy behind him, and ordered him to send it to Wei Ruolan.
Wei Ruolan and her family reunited after a long absence, hugged and cried, and then realized that they had made a mess in front of everyone, blushing early, and retreated to the inner room to quietly make love.
Xue Pan made a magnanimous appearance, hugged the shoulders of the general affectionately, regardless of the price at which the song "Song of White Begonia" could be sold, first call the general a brother and brother, look at him like that, there is a great sense of seeing each other and hating each other.
He had just secretly inquired clearly, and his grandfather was originally a famous Jin businessman, and his family was honest, and it was precisely because there was so much money that he had nowhere to spend it, so he invested in politics. Zhi, married his daughter to a Beijing official, the dowry is not expensive, the Beijing official got the support of his wife, relied on the silver to open the way to seek official luck, and bet on the king of Nan'an after the adult, I didn't want to almost speculate on a handful of rice, but fortunately I didn't abandon the ability to see profit and forget the righteousness, and defected to the emperor at a critical moment, although, years of investment is a bamboo basket for nothing, and finally saved his life and an official hat.
"Brother Brother, I will transfer the calligraphy and painting to Brother Wei, you have no opinion, right? I also sympathize with him, you see, the originally quite handsome young man, I haven't seen him for a few years, his face is full of vicissitudes, and there is a scar on his forehead, he also takes a fancy to this sentence 'Autumn light throws away and then (Emerald) Hugh lives up, and it is relatively appropriate to cherish the yin', I miss myself and my wife get together less and leave more, so I am reluctant to this calligraphy and painting, brother, I am the most soft-hearted, so it will fulfill him, but it hurts my brother You can't bear to cut your love. ”
Xue Pan called Brother Jiang in his mouth, and scolded angrily in his heart, you are a bastard, why don't you give it to me quietly if you have 10,000 taels of silver, you buy Sister Shi's broken calligraphy and painting for me, in fact, it's not even worth half a tael of silver!
"Uncle Xue said this, but he is out of sight, not to mention a worthless calligraphy and painting, as long as he can work for Uncle Xue, he will not give up in the water and fire. ”
"Really, the adult will be too grateful and disrespectful to Xue, the more I feel uneasy about taking away your love, but unfortunately, the calligraphy and painting just now have been given away by my brother, so it's better to do this, my brother will transfer this to my brother, and I will be my own brother in the future, brother, I don't dare to let my brother break the bank, no matter how much silver, my brother just looks at it. ”
Jiang realized his debut at this time, his feelings, he was swept by Uncle Xue again, and from head to toe, he was completely scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, and then, he didn't have a temper.
Then I think about it, isn't it just 10,000 taels of silver? There are many people in this world who can't find the temple gate with a pig's head, and their gift can be described as seamless, so that they don't have to worry about someone saying that they bribe Uncle Guo, and let everyone know that I will be a "brother" of Uncle Guo in a grand manner, why not do it.
"Butler, take 10,000 taels of silver tickets, since Uncle Xue has the heart to fulfill it, this calligraphy and painting must be treasured. ”
The dumb overlord wanted to deceive him of a thousand taels of silver, but he didn't expect him to make a move of 10,000 taels of silver, so he immediately laughed from ear to ear, and didn't forget to curse in his heart: "This unjust boss is the same as my uncle back then, it's really his grandma's sha!"
As soon as the deal was made here, I listened to the inevitable offer over there: "Add another 5,000, and I will 25,000!"
"Twenty-five thousand two times, twenty-five thousand two times, twenty-five thousand two three times, sold, this "Song of White Begonia" is this big official!"
Although it was sold for a good price, Jia Qiang was not excited at all, he knew that the 25,000 taels of silver would all go into the pocket of the Dull Overlord in a while.
The auction is still going on, with the price comparison in front, Jia Qiang got the advice of the prince and concubine, and asked him to raise the reserve price of calligraphy and painting to 1,000 taels of silver, saying that all the adults are worried about the monarch sincerely to raise the tuntian money for the imperial court, rather than slowly asking for the price to delay the time of the adults, it is better to directly open the appropriate price.
Everyone was embarrassed to keep the price too low, and the dozen or so calligraphy and paintings behind were sold for as little as two thousand taels of silver.
Just when the auction was about to end, the palace suddenly sent two calligraphy and paintings, which turned out to be two chrysanthemum poems sent by the concubine Niangniang, one is "Remembering Chrysanthemum" and the other is "Painting Chrysanthemum".
The Huangmen squire sat on horseback and said with a smile: "I heard that the Grand View Garden is raising Tuntian funds for the imperial court, and the noble concubine Niangniang personally transcribed her own two seven-character poems, and the saint also personally stamped his own private seal, I hope you will be generous to support Mobei Tuntian and realize the great cause of fixing the border and securing Xinjiang." ”
Before the words fell, I heard a few horses galloping to Rongguo Mansion without getting off the horse and walking, obviously the official position should be above one grade, yes, the people in the house got up one after another to greet them, but it was Lord Taifu Qin and Lord Taibao Chen.
The two adults dismounted without hurry, and said to the Huangmen squire: "The two of us are willing to set an example, 50,000 taels of silver each, please return the seal of the saint and the ink treasure of the concubine Niangniang." ”
"Hahaha, the saint really didn't guess wrong, saying that the two adults would definitely change their original intentions, agree with and support the matter of Tuntian, but I don't know if the saint guessed that the two of you came so quickly. ”
The two adults smiled and said, "I was going to thank Lord Shirou for sending the message!"
"Such a good poem, naturally let all the adults here read it first, as for whose house the calligraphy and painting should fall into, since it was sent to the auction, the two adults may not be able to invite it back. ”
Huangmen Shilang said, laughing and unfolding one of the calligraphy and paintings, but it was "Painting Chrysanthemum", only to see him clear his throat contrivedly, and sang loudly: "Poetry and drama pen do not know crazy, how can it be a Danqing Fei competition." The poly leaves are splashed with thousands of inks, and the flowers are dyed with a few traces of frost. The faint and thick god will be in front of the phoenix, jumping off the fragrance of the autumn wrist. Don't recognize the East Fence as an idle pick, and stick the screen to chat to comfort Chongyang. (To be continued.) )
