Next came the third round of appraisal of the auction items, and everyone could rest for a while, but this time the appraisal took a little longer, because the last round of lots also identified fakes, and the conclusion was reached after the joint appraisal of Shi Qian and the gentlemen of various academies.

During the break, many people were discussing Mr. Xingzhi's spending 70,000 taels to bid for the box of files, and several masters also surrounded Mr. Xingzhi to ask, some asked why they spent such a large price to shoot this box of files, and some asked how to pay the 50,000 taels if they lost in the follow-up, and Mr. Xingzhi only said one sentence on the follow-up 50,000 taels, "I will find a way to raise it." And he coped with it. As for why he bid for the auction, Mr. Xingzhi told several masters a lot about the importance and significance of this box of materials and navigation, but they just shook their heads and sighed and could not accept it.

"At the beginning of the third round of bidding, the first lot was Mr. Dong Qichang's "Lin Huaisu Self-Narrative Book" from Shidong Academy, which was indeed Mr. Dong's authentic handwriting. The reserve price is 5,000 taels, and the price is increased by 50 taels each time. Yang Jing was a little tired, and the third round of auction was handed over to Shi Qian, who learned from Mr. Dong Qichang for his appreciation, so he was particularly respectful when he mentioned Mr. Dong.

Hearing that the first lot was actually from the Stone Cave Academy, everyone was a little surprised, because it was a sequential auction, the first two rounds of the Stone Cave Academy were all Guozijian and Xingzhi Academy in front, and this time they were all skipped, plus the previous Shi Qian and several connoisseurs of the academy appraised together, some people figured out the problem, the items of Guozijian and Xingzhi Academy should be identified as fakes and put at the end.

At this time, only Zhu Yingan in the audience didn't expect this stubble, and he was extremely excited, pulling Zhang Zhiji and said, "Ziyu, take a quick shot." ”

"What's the matter, this book is the property of Brother Yuan Ting?" Zhang Zhiji guessed a little when he saw Zhu Ying'an.

"That's natural, now there are a few people who can ask for Mr. Xiangguang's words, this is a whole volume, and I stole it from my father with great difficulty."

Zhang Zhiji has heard that Cheng Guogong is obsessed with Mr. Xiangguang's calligraphy and painting works, and this entire book book was stolen and sold, but I am afraid that if it is discovered, this little grandfather will not be killed when he goes back.

"Who let the old man have nothing else for me to steal except Mr. Xiangguang's calligraphy and paintings, or I don't know which ones are worth and which ones are not."

"Then I won't shoot it, otherwise your father won't hit my house and snatch it back." Zhang Zhiji said.

"Ziyu, you should do me a favor, I'll give me the money, I'll give it back to the old man when I shoot it back, I won't be able to find it, you want me to donate it myself, and then shoot it back by yourself, which will make people laugh." Zhu Ying'an clasped his hands together at Zhang Zhiji.

"Alright then, I'll help you out." Zhang Zhiji glanced at Zhu Ying'an's funny appearance, which was a little funny.

After a few rounds of bidding, the price has reached five thousand five hundred taels, Zhang Zhiji raised his hand and said, "Five thousand five hundred and fifty taels." ”

After several rounds of bidding, it was finally auctioned by Zhang Zhiji for 5,950 taels.

This indicates that the Stone Cave Academy has lost this auction.

"The second lot is Xu Wei Xu Wenchang's "Donkey Returns to the Forest Map" of Youlu Academy, the character paintings left by Xu Wenchang to write opinions are rare, the upper right is Xu Wei's own five-word law, this work is signed with the year, the Wenchang works rarely have the year, where the signed year is mostly the later works, and there are Wenchang, Xu Wei's seal, the seal of Tianchi Mountain, Xu Wenchang's works have these three seals are unique, identified as genuine, the reserve price is 8,800 taels, and the price is increased by 100 taels each time."

After the death of Xu Wei, the Ming Dynasty circulated many stories about Xu Wenchang, some of which were true and some of which were fabricated, so the literati and scholars highly respected Xu Wei, although his works were not long, but the price was extremely high, and some rare works were much more than Dong Qichang.

The final auction price was 12,500 taels.

Although the transaction price of Xu Wei's "Donkey Returns to the Forest" is not low, because the gap between the first two rounds is too large, Youlu Academy has also failed.

"The third lot is a guqin of Hengyang Academy, this piano is a Jiaowei qin made by Cai Yong of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which has been identified as genuine, and I don't need to introduce the allusion to Jiaowei, the reserve price is 30,000 taels, and the price is increased by 3,000 taels each time."

When everyone in the auction hall heard that this piano was Jiaowei, many people were immediately ready to move, but when they heard the final price of 30,000 taels, few people had any thoughts, and 30,000 taels was the highest reserve price since today's auction, nearly double the reserve price of the second.

Literati are good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so how can they not be tempted by Jiaowei, but there are few who can really come up with so much money, Xu Ming'er looked at this Jiaowei full of stories stupidly, and she couldn't tell the taste in her heart, but the Xu family is an honest official, let alone 30,000 taels, even 300 taels Xu Ming'er may not be able to take it out.

Xu Erjue saw Xu Ming'er's appearance and knew that his sister was obsessed with this guqin, so he had to comfort, "Sister, the guqin is about fate, if Jiaowei has a fate with her sister, it will be her sister after all." ”

"What do you say nonsense, my sister just looks at it and thinks she likes it, what is not fate, if you like it, you have to keep it for yourself, then it will be inferior." Xu Ming'er understood what Xu Erjue meant, and instead educated Xu Erjue.

"What? Miss Xu has taken a fancy to this piano? Fang Shihong saw that Xu Ming'er was not far away and deliberately walked over when he saw Jiao Wei's distraction, and saw that Xu Ming'er ignored him, so Fang Shihong raised his hand directly and said, "I'll give 40,000 taels." ”

After bidding and ignoring the others, he continued to say to Xu Ming'er, "Miss Xu, isn't it a pity that she likes this piano but has no money to bid for it?" At the beginning, I planned to spend 300,000 taels to buy you a pot of orchids, but you didn't want to, but humiliated me and said that my money was dirty. If you sold the pot of orchids that day, wouldn't this piano be Miss Xu's today? ”

At this time, the auction hall was surprisingly quiet, only Fang Shihong's voice was left, and Fang Shihong only noticed the abnormality after speaking.

At this time, Zhu Ying'an on the side opened his mouth and sneered, "I'm afraid this person is not a fool, everyone else has come out to 43,000 taels, and you actually gave 40,000 taels." Hahahaha, it's so funny. ”

Fang Shihong only cared about revenge against Xu Ming'er before, and he really didn't notice how much the bid was, so he looked at Shi Qian on the auction table with some doubts, and Shi Qian said, "Does Fang Gongzi want to bid again?" ”

Fang Shihong was sure that what Zhu Ying'an said was the truth at this time, and his face was a little ugly and he snorted, "Fifty thousand taels." After saying that, he didn't have the face to provoke Xu Ming'er anymore, turned around and left, and didn't take a few steps Fang Shihong turned back to Xu Ming'er and said, "If Miss Xu changes her mind, that pot of phalaenopsis orchid is still willing to pay 300,000 taels, or wait for me to shoot this piano today, Miss Xu can take that pot of flowers to exchange with me, otherwise, Miss Xu is afraid that she will never have a chance with this piano." ”

"Gongzi Xie Fang's kindness, Ming'er understands it." Xu Ming'er said indifferently.

After several twists and turns, this Jiaowei was finally auctioned off by Fang Shihong at a transaction price of 65,000 taels.

As a result, the total transaction price of Hengyang Academy in the three rounds reached 82,600 taels, even exceeding the 12,600 taels of Hedi Academy.

"The fourth lot is a jade bi with a Han Valley pattern in the first academy, this jade is a high-quality mutton fat jade, five kinds of color, there are two or three colors for common, four colors are very few, and there is no one in ten thousand colors, but the volume is slightly smaller, and it looks dry and dirty without playing, if it is played by people who understand jade for a few years or decades, so that the jade is highlighted, the color overflows, the value of this jade can be doubled several times. The reserve price of this item is 8,000 taels, and the price is increased by 100 taels each time. ”

The reserve price of 8,000 taels is still 4,600 taels away from Hengyang Academy, and there is still suspense.

This time the auction is the shopkeeper of several jade shops in Liuli Lane, as well as several rich gentry in the capital who like to play jade, and those who like to play jade know how rare the five-colored mutton fat jade is, and it is precisely because this jade bi has not been played that there is a lot of room to rise, and the bidding below 10,000 taels is quite fierce.

When the price reached 11,000 taels, several shopkeepers withdrew, because whether they could make money at this price depended on luck.

When it came to 12,000 taels, there was only one Yuanwai surnamed Wu and the shopkeeper surnamed Zhuang of Chenbaozhai, the largest jade store in Liuli Lane, who were still bidding, and every time they raised the price, they had to think about it for a long time, and finally when the price reached 12,500 taels, Wu Yuanwai gave up the bidding.

At this time, the transaction price of Hedi Academy was just one hundred taels worse than before.

Just when Zheng Yanzhi, the head of Hengyang Academy, breathed a sigh of relief, a master next to Wang Huixi, the head of Hengyang Academy, raised his hand and said, "One thousand seven hundred taels." ”

Everyone understands that this is Jidi Academy raising its price, although the practice is a bit shameful, but no one can blame it, and any academy will do the same.

The shopkeeper of Chenbao Zhai Village naturally understood the approach of Hengyang Academy, so he had to raise his hand again and say, "Twelve thousand eight hundred taels." ”

The master of Jidi Academy really didn't bid again, but after all, three hundred taels is not a decimal number, and spending three hundred taels in vain still made Shopkeeper Zhuang have some complaints about Jidi Academy.

As a result, Hengyang Academy was still defeated.

One of the next two lots is an item of Guozijian, Su Shi's "Huangzhou Cold Food Post" in the Song Dynasty, which is two poems written by Su Shi in the fifth year of Yuanfeng when he was demoted to Huangzhou because of the Wutai poetry case. His poems are desolate and desolate without losing their spaciousness, and the pen and ink color in calligraphy also change with the change of the context of the verses. If it is genuine, the reserve price can reach about 28,000 taels, but this is only a fake. ”

Shi Qian invited Yang Jing to hold this fake post with him and showed it to everyone, "The original copy of this post is a paper album, and this one is a handscroll, and the width is about three or four inches wider than the original handwriting. ”

After everyone saw it clearly, Shi Qian returned to the auction table, put the items back on the desk and continued, "Because the emperor also likes to collect some antiques and antiques, he has entered the palace to identify some items for His Majesty, and this "Huangzhou Cold Food Post" is one of His Majesty's collections, and I am fortunate to see it in the next, so there is no doubt that this lot is a fake." The reserve price is 500 taels, and the price is increased by 10 taels each time. ”

The difference between Guozijian and Hedi Academy is about 40,000 taels, and in the end this is still a fake, if Guozijian himself is lifted from 500 taels to nearly 40,000 taels, it is really a bit shameless, so Guozijian gave up the bidding, and in the end, only two people bid, and the price was 510 taels, so far Guozijian also withdrew from the competition.

"The last lot is the item provided by Xingzhi Academy, although it is not a fake, but the reason why it is placed at the end is because it is a bit special, this item is not a literary antique, nor a rare book, just two hand-copied and unframed poems, please take a look." After speaking, Shi Qian picked up two copies of the poem and showed it to everyone.

Everyone in the audience began to whisper when they saw these two hand-copied poems, no one understood what Xingzhi Academy's operation was, could it be that the auction had already been abandoned before it had even begun? Isn't Xingzhi Academy really noble?

"Brother Yuan Ting, I want you to help me in this auction, Brother Erjue, you also have to help me together, Brother Yuan Ting helped me auction this poem, you come to help Brother Yuan Ting raise the price, I don't want Xingzhi Academy to win this auction, but this poem must be raised to at least 10,000 taels." As soon as the last lot came out, Zhang Zhiji pulled Zhu Ying'an and Xu Erjue to the two.

"Oh? Ziyu actually has this kind of awareness? Zhu Ying'an was surprised, this kind of worthless two poems was actually auctioned with a huge amount of 10,000 taels, Zhu Ying'an thought that Zhang Zhiji planned to give love without leaving a name.

"You look carefully, those poems are the two poems that my cousin made before, or Erjue's sister Xu Dacai's handwriting, my cousin helped us show our face, shouldn't we help him raise his value?" Zhang Zhiji pointed to the two pieces of paper on the auction table, in fact, the most important thing he didn't say, one is Zhu Youzhen's identity, and the other is that Zhang Zhiji still owes him a skateboarding feeling.

"Oh, it turned out to be a poem by the Zhu brothers, don't worry, this matter is on me, if you can't take it for 10,000 taels, the fat of the old brother will be kept for you to satisfy your hunger in the future." Zhu Ying'an patted his chest and promised, not to mention that Zhu Youzhen helped him suppress Fang Shihong, even if Zhang Zhiji helped him shoot the volume of Dong Qichang's "Linhuai Suti" before, he was also going to make a move.

"It's the work of Brother Zhu and my sister, so I'm naturally obliged." Xu Erjue also patted his chest and said.

Shi Qian first read the content of the two poems and introduced the name of Xu Ming'er, the person who wrote the handwriting, and then continued, "This poem is a new work, and it was not framed in time due to time reasons, but these two poems can be called the best works. Therefore, the reserve price is set at five taels of silver, and the price is increased by one tael of silver each time. ”
