103 Drawing a tiger is not an anti-dog
The charity will be planned to raise donations mainly for wealthy businessmen and gentry, and the dignitaries and literati who hold their own identities do not want to participate at all when they hear that 'the one with the highest price wins', but Gu Ci quietly mobilized the dock towns and shops in various places to do a small targeted publicity, and only focused on Xiao Lu's paintings for those self-appointed scribes, and there will be many celebrities who are in a hurry to rush to the capital.
There are a total of six kinds of lots, a handwritten large character of the 'Shoushan House' obtained from the emperor, a sword that accompanied Taizong to conquer the territory, a handle of Xiuyu Ruyi placed in the main hall of Cining Palace by the Queen Mother all the year round, a grape ornament that the prince took out casually, a new volume of Xiao Lu's work "Autumn Night Fishing in the Red River" and a large character.
Gu Ci originally planned to borrow the lobby of Zhishuang Zhai to auction, but the tickets of 1,000 taels of silver were stunned but could not stop the enthusiasm of the local tyrants, just entered November, Mingxiu, who was responsible for fundraising, had more than 30,000 donations in his hands, and countless wronged heads were rushing to the capital. The crown princess, who was proud of the results of the battle, began to look for a large enough place, and when the emperor found out, he deliberately asked her if she wanted to borrow the land in the palace for use. Considering that Commander Ruan and Cheng Fuyin, who are in charge of the security of the capital, and Commander Qian in charge of the defense of the palace are all skilled workers, and Mama Xie and Wen Qing cooperate very well, I asked her husband, she gritted her teeth and set the place in Chongxi Palace, so that no one would dare to say that the ticket price of one thousand taels is too expensive, right?
The furnishings in the hall are different from the palace banquet, with the center as the booth around two circles, the upper half circle is twenty tables of VIP seats, the screens are separated, the tulle is the curtain, the maximum degree of privacy is guaranteed, and each person is allowed to bring two entourage. The lower half of the circle is fan-shaped in several layers, all of which are ordinary square tables, and each person can bring one attendant. Even if there are thousands of people in this land, Gu Ci is confident that he can settle it. The deposit for the VIP seat is 10,000, first served, if you take a picture of something, you can be discounted for donations, and if you don't buy it, I'm sorry for you, and the money will not be refunded. Of course, in addition to the better location, the drinks and food at the VIP table are also more exquisite than the ordinary table, and you can also have a drink with the prince first!
I believe that after this night, there will be many more customers in her industry!
In a cheerful mood, Gu Ci was busy arranging menus and drinks, printing pamphlets introducing Sian Chay Tong and these treasures, and training the female guards who acted as palace maids on how to better display the full picture of the objects at each table. It wasn't until he found out that the host hadn't scored, so he hurriedly asked her husband for help. Not only does she need to be able to handle her identity, but she also has to be able to speak well and be good at handling big scenes, she doesn't have such a person.
Yuan Yi has been helping with her these days, thinking that it would be as sweet and sweet as the little girl accompanying her to make a review, but she didn't think that she would be easily distracted even when she was eating, and of course the complaining prince wanted to take this opportunity to get back the interest, and locked her in the bedroom for an afternoon, and then generously lent Gu Wenkai to her.
The exhausted Gu Cile threw himself into his arms and thanked him, was coaxed to accept many discordant conditions, and after a while, he suddenly raised his head and glared at him, "Brother, you are too cunning!" That's my sixth brother! ”
Yuan Yi, who was physically and mentally satisfied, hugged her and smiled comfortably, and turned over and pressed it again.
***********************
The day before the Zhixue Festival, there was a small episode, some girls who were good friends with Gu Yi got together, held a banquet in a newly opened Sichuan restaurant Huixianglou, invited a group of Beijing ladies, and also claimed to raise funds in the form of auctions, and the lots were actually provided by Gu Yi alone - a set of Baixiu glazed pastel orchid tea set a hundred years ago, a piece of superb pine smoke ink, and the most important thing is a kang screen drawn by Xie Yun himself, and the one that Gu Ci took away from Gu Pu's study back then is a set!
Gu Ci angrily pulled the sleeve of Gu Wenkai, who came to report the news, and asked, "Why is my grandmother's painting in her hands?" ”
"The reward she received from her grandfather's endorsement when she was a child......"
"I'm going to buy it back!"
"......" saw the weak and delicate princess go crazy for the first time, Gu Wenkai, the elder brother, said that he was not very comfortable, and hurriedly stopped, "Ah Ran has already let Ah Jin go, if you come forward...... "The matter will be big!"
Gu Ci, who was so angry that his eyes were red, turned his head and shouted chamomile, "Bring the silver ticket to Ajin, don't let her suffer." And whoever is in charge and who is present today, give me a good note! ”
Gu Wenkai hurriedly touched his body, took out a piece of paper and handed it to her, "This is the list...... Ah Ran said that Ah Jin can handle it well. Don't be angry......"
Seeing that the two female guards took the token and led the horse out, Gu Ci, who was a little calmer, embarrassedly apologized to Gu Wenkai, "I'm sorry Sixth Brother, I'm not angry with you, no, I shouldn't lose my temper in front of you......"
"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, there will always be a way to solve it."
Gu Wenkai felt as if he understood why the wise and martial prince would be so fond of this county lord sister who was high in the eyes of the other Gu family.
***********************
Huixianglou in Xishi is a two-story small building, not a patio structure, so the first floor of individual customers and the second floor of the big table, there is no box, and their specialty dish is a variety of spicy food, which attracts many good foodies. Gu Yi and his party should be the highest-grade guests they have ever received, the entire hall has been wrapped, and there are maids, grandmothers and other people sitting on the first floor, and the other girls only bring a personal maid upstairs. In order to prevent idlers from gathering nearby to criticize, the coachmen collectively blew cold wind and wind outside the door.
Xie Jin got the instructions of the eldest sister, and came over with a girl in a majestic manner, but fortunately, the female guard who took care of her arrived in time, intercepted her at the intersection, and gave her a box of silver tickets with a denomination of one hundred taels, and one of them also went up with her instead of her girl. The coachmen thought that Xie Jin was also invited, and did not stop him. However, the dress of the female guards of the East Palace was very conspicuous, so that many idlers who were inquiring about the strangeness in the neighborhood gathered over, and were stopped at the door by the coachmen who watched people with nostrils, so they had to look at the second floor curiously despite the cold wind.
Gu Yi's other big girl, Wei Xue, was guarding the door on the second floor, and when she saw Xie Jin and the others who came uninvited, she immediately blocked the stairs and saluted, "This girl, we have chartered the venue today, and we only accept female guests with invitations." ”
Xie Jin coughed and retorted loudly, "The Fang family wants to sell the Xie family's things, and we are not allowed to buy them with the surname Xie?" ”
Wei Xue's face was stunned and her feet were weak, and she was stretched out by the female guard, and she went to the side.
Xie Jin's voice was crisp and loud, so that people inside and outside could hear it clearly, and the onlookers began to make noise when they heard the words, and more and more people gathered around the door of the incense building. Gu Yi sighed in his heart and secretly screamed that it was not good, why did he forget this stubble! But the kang screen has been put on the table, and everyone can see the words 'Xie Huijiang'......
Gu Yi hurriedly raised a gentle and warm smile to welcome Xie Jin up, "It's our honor that Miss Xie Si can come, please sit down for a while and have a cup of tea first." ”
"Miss Gu Wu doesn't have to be so polite, I'm only here for this kang screen. The Xie family has ancestral teachings, and poetry, calligraphy and painting can be passed on but not sold. I don't know where you got it, but now that I know, I'm willing to get it back for double the price. Xie Jin pointed to the kang screen and said with a smile, but the volume was not small, so that the people downstairs could hear it clearly, like a water drop oil pot, and discussed.
Gu Yi's face turned blue, which means that she auctioned the paintings of the Langya Xie family in the poetry and books, and she is a complete layman, not to mention, the origin of the things is unknown! She took a deep breath to suppress the desire to vomit blood, and kept smiling and said, "There is a misunderstanding in this matter, please sit down first." ”
Xie Jin pretended to look at her innocently, "Double is not enough, can that triple work?" ”
"It's not about the money!"
"Isn't it the one who has the highest price? I don't know who is a higher bidder than me? We can have a good discussion! Xie Jin turned his head to look at the women.
Gu Yi, whose face was ugly and pale, felt like he was going crazy, and Wei Lan immediately came up to play a round, "Fourth Miss Xie, don't get me wrong, this kang screen was given to the girl by our old lady......"
"Isn't this Mrs. Xie's dowry? How could Old Lady Gu deal with it like this? Xie Jin's face was full of disbelief, "Everyone in the world knows that the rules of the Xie family are 'giving calligraphy and paintings must be titled, named, and Junzhang', and there is only Mrs. Xie's words on it, and it is impossible to give it away anyway." ”
Gu Yi clenched his fist to death, pinched his palm hard to endure this breath, and said with a stiff face, "Then I'll be the master, take this kang screen Xie Si girl!" ”
"In business, I don't know what the reserve price is? Can anyone bid? ”
Xie Jin's attitude is still kind, and her voice is as loud as ever, of course, everyone who knows her knows that she is born, but in Gu Yi's opinion, she is deliberately smashing the field, and there must be people outside listening to her words, and she will make up rumors to slander herself in the future, and she can't help but hate her teeth.
"You can bid."
“…… It's priceless to me, aren't you embarrassed for me? ”
Gu Yi was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas were born, and he actually thought that he would take a fancy to her money! "One hundred taels is good!"
Who knew that Xie Jin suddenly restrained her smile, motioned to the female guard to take away the kang screen, and angrily took out two silver tickets and slapped them on the table beside Gu Yi, "Violent Heavenly Things!" Mrs. Xie is the master of the mantle! Without waiting for the angry Gu Yi to open her mouth, she swallowed her anger and asked dryly, "I don't know if this money is going to be given to Sian Chay Tong through your hand by Gu Wu, or if I will send it over by the way?" ”
"Don't bother you to work hard!" Gu Yi completely lost his usual elegance and calmness, and lowered his voice to avoid roaring.
"It's not hard, it's just the auditor under the crown princess who audits the accounts, and he has been in charge of auditing the accounts of Sian Chay Hall since two months ago, and he is about to pass in a while." Xie Jin returned to normal, and her voice was still clear when she lost her anger, "There are still a few hundred taels left, and the five girls Gu will send them together after the New Year." ”
A girl in a fancy dress closest to Gu Yi said suspiciously, "Didn't you say that the most expensive house had already been built?" We donated a few thousand last month, why are there only a few hundred? Suddenly, his tone became angry, "Isn't there anyone guarding and stealing from him?!" ”
Xie Jin replied, "At present, the income in the account is only 10,000 taels taken out by the Queen Mother and the Crown Princess, and the Crown Princess has explained to Lord Min and others, and Sian Chay Hall will only start receiving donations next year." I don't know what this girl is called, when did she donate? Do you have a receipt in hand for me to see? ”
The eyes of the girl and the other girls who spoke were focused on Gu Yi.
Xie Jin added inexplicably, "If there is an error or omission in the records of Sian Chay Tong, I can immediately order the cashier in charge of cash to be dismissed pending investigation!" I also asked the girl to help provide supporting evidence. ”
Gu Yi's burning anger was suddenly extinguished by the cold sweat on her body, the money she had received in the past few months was not sent to Sian Chay Hall, and she didn't even tell the fourth lady, she only made a simple record, as if she embezzled a little bit of the essence and soap that went to the Bright Pavilion to buy wholesale prices, and the maids embroidered them into handkerchiefs and purses according to the patterns she designed, and took them to some small goods stores to sell on consignment.
I just don't know how big this hole is that I haven't paid back yet......
She immediately decided not to carry out this topic again, "The money is going to be sent after the year, so it is currently in my custody, and Miss Nie has no receipt in her hand, I will explain this later." Then he glared at Xie Jin secretly, "Miss Xie Si will not send it slowly!" ”
Xie Jin seemed to understand, squinted at Gu Yi with disdain, and saluted everyone to leave.
When she went downstairs, many of the girls who recognized the 'maid' beside Xie Jin as the female guard of the East Palace also left under the pretext of leaving, and some people felt that Gu Yi had a problem with the disposal of the donation, and they didn't even bother to ask where the money was, and left with a smile. A few more serious girls planned to ask Gu Yi how to arrange these donations, but Gu Yi's tone was a little impatient, and there were no accounts or anything like that, only a few donations The total amount of money that everyone had staked, and they couldn't see a single silver horn, so they went to Sian Chay Hall to ask what the situation was. Hulala was almost gone, Gu Yi couldn't hold up his demeanor anymore, forced a smile and sent the rest of the girls away, and immediately slumped on the chair in despair.
Weilan hesitated for a long time, and came over to persuade her, "Girl, go back and rest early, you are too tired during this time." ”
Gu Yimulan got up, got into the carriage, and suddenly asked Wei Xue, "How much silver is there to return to our capital?" ”
Wei Xue was taken aback and thought carefully, "A few days ago, the statistics were that there were still four hundred and fifty-three taels of silver left to make up for the donation. ”
"Didn't include what you earned before? How can it be so bad? ”
“…… Girl, you bought this set of tea sets...... "The original price is five hundred, and the discount is more than three hundred taels!"
Gu Yi fell weakly on the pillow.
***********************
Gu Ci knew that Xie Jin no longer paid attention to this matter after taking back the kang screen, and concentrated on preparing for tomorrow's charity meeting. Although she doesn't have to come forward, the whole process must be controlled remotely from time to time, deal with emergencies, and the most important thing is to understand the character and power of the businessmen, and judge which ones are necessary for deeper cooperation.
Starting at half past one o'clock in the afternoon, the VIP guests who were the first to be the first to be escorted by the five leading mansions and ten horsemen personally escorted the four red carriages to the address they left behind. The people who were greeted in the car in front of everyone were not ordinary spring breeze, and many businessmen who were reluctant or did not get the quota late were very envious, jealous and hateful.
Some of the ordinary guests who came early also arrived at the Xihua Gate, but did not stand outside the door, the unsmiling Imperial Forest Army verified the invitation card and the identity of the visitor, and the waiter would first receive the tea in the hugging house outside the Chongxi Palace, which was the resting place of the hundred officials of the Wenhua Palace on weekdays, and the princess repaired the Wenhua Wuying two halls when they made it comfortable and bright together, and the fog on the glass would have a small chamberlain to wipe it clean, which did not affect the scenery of the flowers and greenery outside.
Mingxiu received here, and the VIPs handed over to the handsome and elegant Prince of Long Zhang Fengzi to greet him! I believe that the person who paid 10,000 taels will definitely make this trip worthwhile!
The order of the people who entered the table was according to the order of payment, Yuan Yi settled down and went to the next seat, and there was no trace of impatience on his face. The legend of the 'true dragon prince' is so approachable and amiable, many people are so excited that they are incoherent, and there is an old man who is even flushed so red that he almost faints, but fortunately, the palace maid next to him is the female guard of the princess, and the old man pinched the old man's acupoint neatly, so that he eased up, and the imperial doctor on call also came at this time, so that the old man enjoyed the treatment of a royal doctor.
Someone will inform Gu Ci of the situation at the scene every ten minutes, and this kind of emergency must be reported immediately, and then every half an hour, Gu Ci will ask the Lan Nuguan and Wen Qing who are watching to tell the Queen Mother and the emperor about the situation. When she heard that this old man who was too excited to see the idol was an old man from the Mo family who had been smelting iron and forging steel for generations in Tangjin City, she immediately drew a five-pointed star, and she must focus on taking care of it!
Before half past two, 281 guests were seated, including the Su family of maritime merchants in Guangdong City, the Qi family of silk merchants in Suyang City, the Wan family of grain merchants, the Deng family of water transport families, etc., and of course, the famous and noble merchants who came from the southern Shilin for Xiao Lu's new work. The prince retired honorably and gave up the place to Gu Wenkai, he reported that his family was from the East Palace, and at the invitation of the princess's sister, he was the master of ceremonies, telling everyone an allusion and singing a good song to help popularity. I look handsome with red lips and white teeth, a bamboo green cotton robe and a jade crown, and the literary quality is polite and humorous, which is easy to make people feel close.
After all, this form of auction is the first time it has appeared, and Gu Ci is not prepared to make it complicated, a few simple points - everything will start at 500 taels, add 100 taels and add 100 taels, and if there is no price increase for three times, it will be finalized. Everyone knew the approximate material and appearance of these things from the booklet in their hands, and at this time, there was no gem grade, so the palace maid could only hold the things on a rosewood plate and slowly patrol the field for a week, so that people could see the quality clearly.
The first one on the field is the purple jade grape ornament, this is still alive today the seal carving master Zhao Ding Zhao Mengxuan everyone rare jade carving works, this person ancestor is Danqing everyone Zhao Ji, good at calligraphy and painting when he was young, he grew up without fame, so he does not love pen and ink love carving knife. The seal of his rule is famous for its simplicity and vigor, especially the fine seal book and the official book. This ornament is exquisitely composed, with jade as the leaf, tourmaline as the dew, purple jade and pink crystal inlaid into grapes, a graceful and elegant boudoir style, if it were not for the clumsy 'Xuan' word behind the bottom grape, almost no one would dare to believe that this is his work. Gu Wenkai is eloquent, emphasizing the origin of this ornament - the picture designed by the prince of the Zhao family, the knife under Zhao Lao, is the first cooperation between the master and apprentice, the seal carving is changed to jade, the same knife is stable, and the exquisite ingenuity does not hide its strict layout.
Now there are more people who are interested.
In the Mingde Palace, Gu Ci asked Yuan Yi curiously, "Why did you draw this for Zhao to engrave?" Who is it for the wedding? ”
The prince said a little unnaturally, "It's just a joke with Master." He didn't want the little girl to know that this thing was a make-up he had prepared for her on a whim when he hadn't understood his mind and didn't plan to marry her, and he also took the meaning of having more children and more blessings. He must have had a brain pump! This time I saw it in the warehouse, and I immediately disposed of it!
The purple jade grapes were sold for 800 taels, which was bought by Mr. Gong, a friend of the Zhao family, and Mr. Gong, who was the heirloom of Guangling City, and he smiled playfully with the ornaments.
The next one is the queen mother's jade Ruyi appearance, this thing is not particularly rare, only two families are bidding, one is the Fengling City grain merchant Xiong's family, Yu Ruyi is his family as a gift to the queen mother who went to take refuge, it is not strange to want to return to the original owner, the other is the salt merchant Miao family in Leling City, this Ruyi and another Guanyin are a set of things carved out of the same stone, and their family happens to have Guanyin. The two of them were at the ordinary table, not far away, and they looked at each other, and Master Xiong let the young master of the Miao family make a deal.
After listening to the report, Yuan Yi raised her eyebrows and asked her daughter-in-law, "This auction is a bit bad, if the bidding is privately connected, it can't be sold at a good price." ”
Gu Ci said with a smile, "It's just a small fight, if you really want to make money from the auction, you have to play a whole set." ”
"I want to hear about it."
Seeing that the prince was all hugging the princess and going together, Ming Ting took the idle people and other 'Yiqing' out of the study with interest.
"For example, if three apples are ten people fighting, first use this price increase auction method to bring out the five people with the highest bidding price alone, and then, use the sealed price reduction bidding method, let them each quote a reserve price, and only choose the highest three, so that they can't connect in series."
"What is a markdown?" Yuan Yi loves her bright and star-like eyes when she endorses the book, and she holds her lips and grinds them gently.
“…… That is, with the previous one, the highest price, let them drop to, they can, accept, the lowest price, write it out, seal it and hand it over to the auctioneer......" Gu Ci was kissed so that his eyes were blurred, and he snuggled up to him softly, and said intermittently, "If there are three people, the offer is the same, and the ......auction will be lost."
After the two items in the Chongxi Palace warmed up, they began to enter the main event.
The first to come up is Xiao Lu's words, which read, 'The chickens and dogs in the hut between the clouds are quiet, and the smoke and haze are dewed in the autumn.' He re-ascended the gate of heaven every day, and survived to stay late under the immortal rock'. He has not circulated his masterpieces for nearly 20 years, and in recent years, he has been obsessed with medicine, and there are very few new innovations. At present, regardless of the poetry talent, this ancient and lush big character is more simple and humble than when he became famous, solemn and smooth, and the majestic pen is on the paper, the momentum is hearty, and the vicissitudes of life are not comparable to the vigor of the year.
The scene was already boiling.
It is impossible to miss such a masterpiece if you are proficient in calligraphy and painting, and those who do not know how to do it but have money also want to make a family heirloom, and the scene is fierce. After the first two rounds of bidding, Gu Wenkai thought that Gu Ci had repeatedly warned him to control the scene too carefully, and he would see a group of Jiangnan Shilin families throwing knives in the eyes of the old men who didn't know a big word but slapped the table and raised the price.
He hurriedly swallowed his saliva and made a round, "Taifu has very few good works that have flowed out in recent years, no wonder everyone is so excited, but this charity meeting is held to raise funds, you are all great benevolent people, don't hurt the harmony." ”
People who know something about Xiao Lu immediately reacted, what this means is that Xiao Yugong has not given up his pen to practice medicine, and there should be a lot of works, so there is really no need to stare at a word hard, and there will be no painting for a while, it is said that he has created a new painting method over the years, or wait and see.
Gu Wenkai then joked, "Taifu's words are so popular, if the emperor's imperial pen is held out in a while, all good people will not be able to break their heads?" First of all, I would like to thank you for your great mercy on behalf of the orphans of the world! He also made a gesture in a similar way.
The businessmen thought that there would be the emperor's writing of the four words 'Shoushan House' for a while, this is the first time in the world, and the big treasure that can glorify the ancestors in the future, so they also rested.
The only ones who are still bidding are the third master of the Guo family in Jinling City and the old lady of the Mi family in Linan City who is sitting in the VIP seat.
Guo San is obviously a rich man, shouting 1,100, but Mrs. Mi is a few hundred, and the price will be 10,000 after a while. In the end, it was the bold Guo Kun who won 18,000 taels.
The tea was replaced by wine, and Bailichun was served in unlimited quantities at the VIP table, and there was only a small pot for the ordinary seat, which was poured out, and the hall was fragrant. The heated venue did not have the nervousness of entering the palace at the beginning, and many people began to discuss and laugh enthusiastically under the urging of alcohol. After a while, he said that Guo San's habits of losing the family have not changed at all, and he will definitely be smoked by Mrs. Guo again, and some people echo that Guo San was known as 'a lackey under Songyuan Hall' back then, and that Xiao Taifu's works on the market, but if he knows his whereabouts, he will definitely ask for it, and those who buy it today will have to endure his day and night entanglement in the future. Some people say that the Mi family has really made a lot of money in recent years with Penghu, but the true nature of the door can't be changed, and they can't be happy when they encounter the money.
After listening to these gossips, Gu Ci silently painted the Mi family and the Guo family as little stars, and then looked at the handsome guy next to him expectantly, Yuan Yi smiled, "I will ask them to stay until the next year." ”
She took the initiative to throw the prince down on the couch and kiss her, "Brother has worked hard!" ”
"How to compensate?"
Gu Ci blushed and bit his ear, and was given additional conditions to be executed tonight.
"Autumn Night Fishing in the Red River" was hung on a wooden screen with rollers installed, and the originally lively venue was suddenly silent.
This painting is more skillful and spicy, the composition is back to basics, and the three-dimensional sense obtained from a distance is almost lifelike.
Sure enough, it's a new painting technique that has never been seen before!
It seems that Zhang Shengqiu's concave and convex painting method has been learned, and once you look closely, you can find the mystery - shadow.
In the painting, whether it is the folds of the fisherman's hat, the table and chair of the ship that are very in line with the perspective method, or the red maple leaves that are flying over and over, and the footprints of the craggy and strange rocks, you can clearly see the deep and shallow shadows under the full moon.
This has never been seen in the paintings of predecessors, Xiao Lu has sharpened his sword for ten years, and the name of 'painting saint' is well deserved!
Gu Wenkai seemed to have misunderstood the silence of the scene, and added firewood in a chic manner, "In the next inside, the people once said that the Xie family 'gave calligraphy and painting must be inscribed, named, and Junzhang', and the princess thought so, and planned to invite the person who bought this painting today to go to Chongwen Hall to talk to Mrs. Xiao another day, and make up the gift and inscription. ”
After that, he motioned to the palace maids to start pushing the painting towards the venue, many people stood up directly and stared at the painting, and many people in the VIP seat even lifted the curtain and walked out, and after a while, the palace maids were struggling.
Gu Wenkai immediately asked the palace maid to push the painting back, and then asked the person who wanted to see it to come forward to take a look, and if the eyes were not good, he could also provide a magnifying glass for free.
A group of scribes raved about the paintings, and some were already obsessively figuring out the brushstrokes and techniques.
Guo San was so happy that he almost fainted, and directly reported 30,000.
As soon as Gu Wenkai was overjoyed, he was frightened by another one who shouted '50,000'.
Guo San was not discouraged and pressed over with '80,000', and another '100,000' crushed over.
Guo San was anxious and yelled, "110,000! In the future, I will use glass as a frame for this painting and hang it in the main hall of the Guo family, free for the big guys to observe! ”
The other voice was much more timid, "...... 120,000 ......"
"What's your name?!"
The Guo family has also led the coquettishness of Jiangnan Shilin for decades, and there are really not many people who don't give him face, and he doesn't recognize it.
“…… My surname is Xia, and our general told me that if it is a painting of a princess or a princess, you must buy it......"
This person was actually Xia Ji's personal entourage, and he injured his left leg and was thrown back to Beijing to give a gift for the holidays. Xia Ji is a fan of Xiao Lu's brain, Xia Bufan has seen Gu Ci's paintings, so he naturally wants to grab them.
"Which general?!" What new techniques does a martial artist know!
Gu Wenkai saw Guo San's angry eyes, and immediately came up to play the round, and threw a look at the entourage, "This is General Xia's family, right?" General Xia fought bloodily for the country at Yanmen Pass, how can our charity ask for your donation! Why don't you ask the crown princess to ask Mrs. Xiao to paint for Jingxi Army another day? ”
The scribes, who were originally full of contempt, suddenly looked gentle and kind, the war on the Western Front was really won this time, and it was a shame! Although they feel that martial artists are unlearned, it is undeniable that those who serve the country are worthy of respect.
The Xia family hesitated to respond, but he really had no confidence in front of this group of well-mannered scholars, and he couldn't even write his own name!
Gu Wenkai invited him to sit down and poured a cup of tea with his own hands, "Did you go back to Beijing because you were injured?" ”
He smiled innocently, "I was hit by two arrows in my left leg, and the treatment was no major deal in time, but I couldn't go to the battlefield, so I went back to Beijing to deliver New Year's goods for the time being." ”
Guo San waved his hand at him, "Disrespectful and disrespectful, you are true heroes who go to the battlefield." I'm 130,000, don't rob me anymore! ”
The other writers laughed and shook their heads, the price was indeed more than their budget. Although the businessmen knew from the performance of these people that this painting was rare, if they really bid, they would be despised and not to mention, looking at Guo San's posture, it was like killing his parents, and they also stopped thinking.
Guo Sanxin watched the painting slowly roll up, and put it in front of him with the words, and he was already happily thinking about what to wear when he saw the idol.
Gu Ci couldn't help but laugh when he heard Guo San's money, "The co-authorship is all his family's money......"
"This person admires the master very much, and for the sake of these hundreds of thousands of taels, I don't know what he will be beaten. You have to talk to Master so that the family can go back happily. ”
"The Guo family has a lot of books?"
"It is not inferior to the Xiao Xie family, and it is said that the scattered classics of the Wang family are all preserved by them as best they can."
"I have a way to let him go back without being beaten, but I don't know if it will ......"
"But it doesn't matter, your brother, I'm not a person who is afraid of things."
"Establish a national library, transcribe books from various collections, compile dictionaries, and at the same time compile dictionaries and popularize phonetics."
"That's a good idea. You can use the method of Danqing Pavilion to recruit people to copy it, and then engrave it for preservation. ”
"It's just that fireproofing and proofreading are big projects, and the rest doesn't cost much."
"Don't be afraid of money, let the emperor write a few more words and sell them."
