253 One thousand two hundred taels
Yue Yao sent Mr. Yushan away, her face still flushed. Until now, she has not calmed down, everything is good to see, and everything is pleasant.
Xiang Wei asked curiously, "Girl, what is the big event?" "It's not a big joy that can make Yue Yao smile so much that her mouth is open.
Yue Yao didn't hide it from Xiang Wei, and told Xiang Wei about her painting winning second in the competition, and Yue Yao said proudly: "There are so many excellent paintings, I can actually win the second place." This incident made Yueyao full of confidence in the future, and she took a big step forward from her life goal.
Xiang Wei didn't pay attention to the news in the capital in the countryside, and when she heard this, she was a little upset, "What do you call you second?" What kind of eyes did this judge have, and why did he give you a second prize? ”
Yue Yao is already very satisfied that she can win the second, "There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky!" Not being the first place proves that I still have to work hard. Yueyao didn't bother with the first and second, she felt that this time she had fully confirmed her strength.
Xiang Wei doesn't discuss painting issues with this painting idiot, because that is tantamount to looking for abuse. Xiang smiled and said, "Girl, the exhibition is tomorrow." Otherwise, we'll check it out tomorrow. "The villa is relatively close to the capital, and you can get there in two hours out of the city gate.
Yue Yao shook her head and said, "Don't go." "It's naturally okay to go out with a veil on weekdays, but on the day of the exhibition, it must be crowded, so she shouldn't go!"
Xiang Wei smiled: "This is easy to do." A woman disguises herself as a man. ”
Yue Yao looked at Wei like a monster. Although Yueyao has experienced more than a lifetime and does not take many things seriously, she has the most formal education in the end, where would she do such a deviant thing as a woman pretending to be a man.
Xiang Wei felt very pity, "It's a pity to lose such a good opportunity because of the girl's conformism." ”
Yue Yao smiled lightly and ignored Xiang Wei no more.
This painting competition caused a sensation in Beijing. After the competition, there are still three days left for the exhibition. The exhibition is an auction when it is played, the paintings are exhibited on the first two days, and the paintings are auctioned on the third day.
Two days ago, it attracted celebrities from the capital to watch. Of course, what they were most interested in was not the painting of the first place, Zhou Zijin, but the painting of the mysterious mountain dweller.
On the third day of the exhibition, an auction was held. Of course, the auction of these paintings is with the consent of the owner, and someone like Yueyao who does not raise an objection is also equivalent to agreeing to the auction.
The fiftieth place painting was sold for one hundred and twenty taels, and the third place was sold for four hundred and fifty taels. And although Yue Yao's "Hanmei Lady" is the second, the starting price is the same as the first place, which is six hundred taels of silver.
After Yueyao's painting was taken out, Huang Lao, who was in the box, said to Mr. Yushan beside him: "If people know that this painting was painted by that doll, I don't know what kind of sensation it will cause." Looking at the recent trend in the capital, Huang Lao agreed with Mr. Yushan's words very much, and he must not leak the details of the mountain and wild residents.
Feng Lao turned his head to Yushan and said, "When will we meet this little girl?" "Feng Lao is very curious, they have been talking about this little girl for more than a month, but they haven't seen her yet!
Mr. Yushan shook his head and said, "I want to see him for another two years!" If it were known that Mr. Yamano was her, she wouldn't have a clean life. "The power of the world is still strong.
Feng Lao smiled: "Didn't you say that this child has a strong heart and will not be affected?" Why are you worried now, it's inconsistent. Feng Lao was just joking, he naturally knew that Mr. Yushan was protecting this child, and he couldn't let Yueyao show up at this time. Painting requires a steady state of mind, and if you are disturbed by external objects, you will not be able to progress.
Huang Lao sighed on the side and said, "I hope we can see this child reach the height you said in our lifetimes." ”
As the two were talking, a loud voice suddenly resounded in the auction room: "One thousand two hundred taels of silver." "Just now, I only got seven hundred and twenty taels, and this person directly added so much.
The auction room fell silent.
As soon as Mr. Yushan reacted, he saw that the auctioneer's hammer had fallen. The painting was sold for 1,200 taels.
Mr. Yushan frowned and said, "One thousand two hundred taels, a little low!" ”
Huang Lao scolded with a smile: "One thousand two hundred taels is still a bit low? You don't look at how much other people's paintings can sell for? It's already remarkable to have such a result just after graduating from the school. You still want her to climb to the sky! If you really let her ascend to the sky in one step, wouldn't it hurt her. ”
Feng Lao also helped Feng Feng beside him: "If it weren't for the poem you mentioned, this painting would have been seven or eight hundred taels up to the sky." Fortunately, this competition only looks at the style and skills of painting, and poetry is not in the category of evaluation, otherwise there will be water in this second. ”
Mr. Yushan sneered, "My student's handwriting is definitely no worse than this week's. So you don't have to worry about that. ”
The first place did not have such a high price, and only bought seven hundred and eighty taels.
Mr. Yushan heard the scholar say that it was Duanwang who bought Yue Yao's paintings, and his face was not good-looking at the moment, who couldn't buy it, why was it this person, it was really unhappy!
Yue Yao got the news in the villa and knew that her paintings were sold for 1,200 taels, and she smiled. Although she knew that this painting was sold at such a high price due to her husband, but at her level, a painting could sell for three or five hundred taels. Three or five hundred taels a painting is already at the level of a first-class painter.
Xiang Wei quipped on the side: "I used to think that you were a waste of time when you painted, but now that I think about it, it is quite profitable." You can draw more and sell for more money. ”
Yue Yao shook a roll of her eyes, this woman thought her painting was a cabbage, and she could sell it if she wanted to. You must know that the more famous the painters, the fewer their paintings, because they will not be released if they are not masterpieces. If it is all over the street, it is not the handiwork of a great painter, but a seller of New Year's paintings.
Yue Yao calmed down as quickly as possible, and then went outside to sketch with Xiang Wei Drizzle with an easel on her back every day.
Yueyao was so happy here, but Ma Chengteng in the capital was a little regretful. He looked at the paintings on display and felt that Yueyao's level was not inferior to the top ten. If Yueyao can participate in the competition, she will definitely be in the top ten.
Ma Chengteng said dissatisfiedly: "I don't know why Mr. Yushan didn't let Yueyao participate in the competition?" What a great opportunity was wasted. Ma Chengteng regrets it now, he knew that he should have let Yueyao participate, so he didn't care what Mr. Yushan meant.
The little guy around him didn't dare to answer.
Ma Chengteng was in a bad mood for the next few days, so he punished several small servants and maids, making the people who served him panic.
Zhuang Ruolan asked Ma Peng, "What's Daddy doing lately?" So angry? "Although this father-in-law is a little nonsense in the backyard, he has always been very kind-hearted, and he doesn't know what caused him to be so angry.
Ma Peng smiled: "It's okay, it will be fine in a few days." Ma Peng actually knew what was going on, but it was not good to say these things to Zhuang Ruolan.
