Chapter 1130 The price of gold starts at 1,500 taels
After the shopkeeper Xu finished speaking, he took out a page of paper from his pocket and solemnly placed it next to the calligraphy, "This is the contract left by Chen Gongzi when he put the calligraphy with me, and it has his autograph on it." ”
"When signing, I can see clearly next to me, and then I compared it with the calligraphy on the note, exactly the same, the pen style, the penmanship, the way of writing, are exactly the same, you can compare."
After listening to what the shopkeeper Xu said, looking at the piece of paper at the place where the calligraphy was registered, the four children of the family, including those pawnshop shopkeepers, all surrounded him.
They saw the contents of this contract, the shopkeeper Xu advanced five hundred taels of silver in advance, and Chen Yi left the calligraphy in the pawnshop, these are only secondary, the most important thing is the signature on this contract.
At this moment, these people compared the handwriting on the contract with the inscription on the calligraphy, and it was exactly the same, it was really the same, and they couldn't find any difference.
The word Chen Yi is written elegantly and freely, and the level of this name alone is not something that some calligraphers can write.
"Haha, I believe that Brother Chen Yi is the creator of this small Kai Huang Tingjing." At this time, Wu Gongzi laughed and said, after seeing this small Kai Huang Ting Sutra, his title to Chen Yi has changed from a little brother to a brother.
Wei Gongzi and Zhang Gongzi's faces were shocked again, if what the shopkeeper Xu said was true, then this calligraphy was really very likely to be created by this person of the same age as them in front of them.
How could such a young person have such a superb level of calligraphy, and even surpass some famous calligraphers in the Tang and Song dynasties.
At this moment. They were a little glad that they didn't go with Liu Gongzi to taunt the shopkeeper Xu just now. To taunt Chen Yi.
Otherwise. If they offend such a calligraphy master, the consequences are really not something they can bear.
"It is exactly the same as the handwriting on the calligraphy, and what can it represent, there are many means to make such an effect, not to mention, who can prove that the shopkeeper Xu of the pawnshop is telling the truth." Liu Gongzi checked the handwriting. Then he continued to deny it.
In his heart, he regretted it a little now, but his identity as a child of the family did not allow him to bow to Chen Yi, to an unknown person, and the most important thing was his heart, he did not believe that Chen Yi, a young man, could write calligraphy at such a level.
Shopkeeper Xu's face changed, and he just wanted to refute. was stopped by Chen Yi, "Young Master Liu." Do you need me to repeat what I just said, it doesn't matter if I'm the creator of this calligraphy or not, the purpose of my coming here is to exchange this calligraphy for money, so let's start this antique sale. ”
"This level of calligraphy is not something you can create, then it must have been stolen by you, and then you used other means to change your name, and you want to sell it like this, Wei Gongzi, don't believe him." At this moment, Liu Gongzi pointed to the calligraphy with a gloomy face and said.
Chen Yi smiled faintly, "Oh, then you can go to the government to sue me, three sons, this calligraphy is right in front of you, whether you want to buy it or not, it's all up to you." ”
"Brother Chen, I don't know how much this calligraphy costs, we feel that the money we bring may not be enough." At this time, Wu Gongzi asked without hesitation, even if what the surname Liu said was true, he would buy this calligraphy, not to mention, he already believed this young man in his heart.
It's just that the level of this calligraphy is so high, he feels that the little money he has on him is not enough to buy it, but his heart is very eager to get this calligraphy, he was born in a family, he knows the value of this calligraphy very well.
Any literati will be shocked when they see this calligraphy, such a calligraphy full of Wang Xizhi's true meaning, what does it represent, it represents that they can learn Wang Xizhi's true meaning from it, so that their calligraphy is closer to Wang Xizhi, closer to the Holy Dao, so that their calligraphy level has been greatly improved.
Wei Gongzi and Zhang Gongzi also looked at Chen Yi tightly, expecting Chen Yi to say the price, as for what Liu Gongzi said, they really didn't take it to heart, no matter what, get this calligraphy first.
In the family, this calligraphy will definitely make them pay attention to it and be praised by the elders of the family, which is undoubtedly a huge opportunity for them to be gentlemen.
"How much do you think this calligraphy should be worth?" Chen Yi smiled and looked at Wu Gongzi and the others.
Wu Gongzi and the three of them glanced at each other, and they all saw the ** who wanted to get calligraphy in each other's eyes, and then, Wu Gongzi said with some embarrassment: "Brother Chen, this calligraphy can be said to be priceless in our eyes, but you still need to give a price." ”
Chen Yi nodded and stretched out a finger, "The price starts at one thousand five hundred taels of gold." The five thousand taels he said in the pawnshop before was just an exaggeration, and even so, his calligraphy could be worth three or four thousand taels of gold.
Fifteen hundred taels of gold, hearing Chen Yi's words, all the pawnshop shopkeepers next to them were dumbfounded, they desperately accepted a thing and took it, the highest is only worth more than three thousand taels of silver, and now this calligraphy is actually a starting price of one thousand five hundred taels of gold.
So much gold, it is really money that ordinary pawnshops can't earn in a lifetime, as for the shopkeeper Wang, after hearing this thousand five hundred taels of gold, his breathing became a little shorter, looking at the shopkeeper Xu, looking at Chen Yi, his heart was suddenly full of regret.
In normal times, many people didn't dare to imagine what something worth more than a thousand taels of gold looked like, but now although they were dumbfounded, they didn't have the slightest doubt in their hearts that this calligraphy was indeed worth more than a thousand taels of gold.
After Wu Gongzi and the three of them heard this price, their eyelids also jumped, but they were not too surprised, in their family, some copies of calligraphy that were less than half the level were almost ten thousand taels of silver, let alone this calligraphy.
"Haha, 1,500 taels of gold, whoever has so much gold on them, this calligraphy can't be sold, and after you go back, you will be escorted to the government."
Hearing this price, Liu Gongzi laughed loudly and said, at most, they only brought a few thousand taels of silver, 1,500 taels of gold, and it was only the starting price, who would bring so much gold on them.
In fact, his heart is also full of regret, if he takes this calligraphy back to the family, it will definitely make him shine in front of his grandfather.
Because his grandfather, his father, and even most of the people in the clan respected Wang Xizhi very much, and he knew very well what this calligraphy full of Wang Xizhi's true meaning represented, but he couldn't get this calligraphy, and he didn't want these three people to get it.
As for going to the government to sue Chen Yi, he is not so idiotic, not to mention that he has no conclusive evidence, just say that Wu Gongzi will not let him succeed lightly.
What he wants to do is to temporarily let these three people not get calligraphy, as for after the cruise ship docks, he will use other means to get calligraphy, Chen Yi pretends to be a tall appearance in front of people, and he has seen a lot of people who do other things behind their backs.
If Chen Yi is really a master of the world, then he will not take out this superb level of calligraphy and sell it casually, besides, if Chen Yi is really the creator of this calligraphy, with this level of people, which one is not arrogant, others come to ask for it, sometimes they can't get a response, let alone take the initiative to take out calligraphy to sell it now.
"Ahem, Brother Chen, we really didn't bring that many silver taels." At this time, Wu Gongzi said helplessly, he now regrets getting on the cruise ship very much, if it is on land, just send someone home to get it.
Chen Yi waved his hand lightly and said very casually: "It's okay, you can make an IOU first." ”
Hearing Chen Yi's words, Wu Gongzi suddenly showed a look of surprise, and said with a laugh: "Haha, Brother Chen is right, you can make an IOU first, and when the time comes, we will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other." ”
Wei Gongzi and Zhang Gongzi are also happy, with the level of this calligraphy, after they get it, the family will definitely send money.
At this time, Liu Gongzi's face changed, "Chen Yi, aren't you afraid that they will take your calligraphy and regret not recognizing this price afterwards." ”
"This doesn't have to worry about Liu Gongzi, three sons, the starting price is 1,500 taels of gold, let's start now." Chen Yi smiled faintly, and then said to Wu Gongzi and the three of them.
Wu Gongzi gloated and looked at Liu Gongzi, "Haha, surnamed Liu, you think we are all as insidious as you, watch us bid carefully, this calligraphy, you are not qualified to get it, I will pay 1,600 taels of gold." ”
"I'll give you a thousand seven hundred taels." Zhang Gongzi next to him also said without any hesitation, this calligraphy is enough to make anyone tempted, they are not afraid that the family will not give money.
Hearing the bidding of Wu Gongzi and Zhang Gongzi, the pawnshop shopkeepers next to them widened their eyes, this time they bid one hundred taels of gold, which directly surpassed the value of their antiques.
And Liu Gongzi was full of anger in his heart, but he couldn't stop the sale of this calligraphy at all, and similarly, he also had a strong regret in his heart, and the momentary scenery made him lose a chance to make a name for himself in the family.
"Eighteen hundred taels." Wei Gongzi also followed directly, and the three of them now have only one belief, that is, to get this calligraphy.
The value soon exceeded two thousand taels of gold, heading towards three thousand taels, and the people in the pawnshop present were breathing more and more rapidly, these golds, even if they were them, would take a long, long time to get, and ordinary people would not be able to get these riches in their lifetime.
