Chapter 217: Exhausting All Strengths

There were dozens of people sitting in the palace, all of whom were bigger than him, and it was not a place for him to show his majesty.

Cui Wenxiu reluctantly glanced at the entourage, and the two came to a secluded place and asked, "How!" ”

The attendant said: "Back to Cui Ye, there are too many people around Qian Ye, and the small ones really can't rely on them." However, the small ones have exhausted all the means, and they have more or less heard a little news. ”

Cui Wenxiu didn't have the heart to listen to the entourage's merits, and interrupted impatiently: "Say! ”

The attendant said: "I heard that Qian Ye was discussing with the surname Li about the painting of a painter surnamed Hou Yanmin, and Qian Ye praised the painter for painting with the surname Tang for such a long time, and his painting skills will definitely improve a lot, so let the surname Li get him some more." The surname Li is quite embarrassed, saying that the market is bullish now, but he is afraid that he will not be able to do it. When Qian Ye heard this, he seemed very unhappy, saying that the surname Li had lost his money, but he was afraid that he would not be able to get it but would not be willing to give it to him. ”

Cui Wenxiu listened and nodded secretly. It turned out that Qian Yanei's hobby was calligraphy and painting, especially the paintings of a name Hou Yanmin. This is easy to do, just buy more Hou Yanmin's calligraphy and paintings to his liking. It's just that I don't know where Hou Yanmin's family lives, so I have to inquire clearly before I can come to visit.

He waved his hand to let the entourage step back, and then returned to his seat alone, pondering the three words Hou Yanmin.

Directly in front of the platform is the main hall, which is full of VIPs. Behind the left and right, a foot away from the platform, there are officials on guard, and then there are thousands of people watching the bustle.

The big scene of nearly 10,000 people was so quiet that even a single needle could be heard. This is, there is a young man with a hand-cranked fan on the stage, and when he walks to the middle of the platform, he closes the fan, lifts it upside down in the palm of his right hand, arches his hand in all directions, and finally stands facing the main hall, and says: "Fathers and fellow villagers, my sons, I am polite." The little Mao Qing, who was fortunate to be the auctioneer of the auction, was also the first time to do this errand. Before proceeding with the auction, I would like to invite you to listen to the commentary! ”

After speaking, he arched his hand to the stage again and walked off the stage. At this time, a person came to the stage, walked to the table in the center of the table and stood still, arched his hand in all directions, and then lifted the startling wood on the table and slapped it on the table, and said: "Everyone, what I want to talk about today is that Tang Bohu orders autumn incense!" ”

The people in the audience couldn't help but be disappointed. They came here to see the excitement of the auction, not to listen to the storytelling. Even if you listen to the commentary, you have to listen to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Water Margin, which one is willing to listen to Tang Bohu and order autumn fragrance. Who is Tang Bohu, who is Qiu Xiang, why did Tang Bohu order Qiu Xiang, what is the sound?

But as soon as the story began, they were immediately attracted to the content. They have only heard the storytelling of shouting and shouting, when have they ever heard the witty and humorous storytelling, and there are also fighting scenes in it, which makes them even more refreshed, and they suddenly forget whether they came here to listen to the commentary, or to watch the excitement of the auction.

The storyteller was invited by Li Feibai from Kaifeng Mansion, and the content of the story was dictated by Li Feibai and processed by the art of storytelling, and the story blueprint was taken from the famous movie "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", which became popular hundreds of years later. The reason why Li Feibai wants to do this is because the first two of his ten lots are paintings. The first is a painting by Hou Yanmin, and the second is a painting by Tang Bohu.

But Tang Bohu's fame is currently limited to Jiangnan, and there are very few people who know Tang Bohu in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and it is impossible to bid for a high price. Hou Yanmin's paintings are even more impossible.

Therefore, he came up with such a way to let everyone know about Tang Bohu in a short period of time. And to instill in the audience a concept, Tang Bohu's paintings are excellent! A painting that the master likes, how can there be a bad reason!

But if you want to attract the audience, you can't tell the truth, what kind of fraud in the field, what kind of crazy and stupid foolish wandering around without clothes to escape from King Ning. Although the truth is real, it is impossible to attract all people, and it cannot let people know that Tang Bohu's paintings are good in a short time. Therefore, he chose a movie hundreds of years later, so that the storyteller would be willing to spend a huge amount of money to buy Tang Bohu's paintings within an hour.

Sure enough, when the audience learned that it was not an auction but a book review, ninety percent of them showed impatient expressions. As Li Feibai expected, when the storyteller opened his mouth and talked about the gentry who went to pick up garbage in front of the Tang Mansion, and when he picked up a piece of torn rotten paper, he shouted in ecstasy: "I finally have Tang Bohu's Mobao", everyone smiled.

The storyteller continued to talk about Zhu Zhishan's wealth, and went to discuss the painting with Tang Bohu. When Tang Bohu finished saying "The wind blows the eggshell, and the wealth goes to the people's happiness", he asked Zhu Zhishan to take off his clothes and splash ink on his body, and used Zhu Zhishan's body as a pen to draw a huge painting, and the little worm in the eagle's mouth was based on Zhu Zhishan's words, and the crowd shouted "good" one after another.

Tang Xin'an was not attracted by storytelling, because his heart was not here at all. As soon as he entered the main hall, he found that many of the people sitting on the high stools behind him were old acquaintances, not the chief shopkeeper of a certain family, but also the chief shopkeeper of a certain family. Although the business of these people is not as big as his, it should not be underestimated.

What are they doing here? You must know that everyone is a master who is unprofitable and can't afford to be early, is it possible that Li Feibai really has a treasure that can be handled! No, according to the news he got, Li Feibai doesn't have any treasures that he can handle!

There was another burst of laughter, it turned out that Tang Bohu wanted to enter Washington, and he wanted to compare himself with a person who sold himself to bury the whole family, and called a cockroach Xiaoqiang, so that he could sell himself into Washington.

Tang Xin'an had no intention of listening, and asked quietly: "Feibai, what are your ten lots?" ”

Li Feibai said: "Don't worry, Mr. Tang, you will know in a moment." ”

How can Tang Xin'an not be in a hurry! The more Li Feibai told him not to worry, the more anxious he became! It's not that I'm afraid of losing to my daughter, but for the sake of Daxing. Doing business is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. If you can't figure out what the lots are as soon as possible, and then come up with countermeasures, not only will you lose to your daughter, but most importantly, you will miss a good opportunity to make money. But Li Feibai didn't say it, and he couldn't do it! He was restless, watching the sun rise higher and higher, and finally waited until the storyteller finished commenting on the story, but the audience asked for another tsunami, he was even more anxious.

Fortunately, the storyteller was very sorry and withdrew, and Mao Qing came on the stage at the right time, followed by two people, one of whom was holding a scroll.

Mao Qing stopped in front of the case, cleared his throat, and said: "The first lot to be auctioned today is the painting of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains drawn by Hou Yanmin, Tang Bohu's apprentice. Although he is an apprentice, his painting skills are no worse than those of his teacher. ”

As he spoke, the two men behind him had opened the scroll and circled the field so that everyone could see the drawing.

Mao Qing never thought that he would have the opportunity to show such a big face in front of thousands of people. The reason why I have this opportunity is not because of Li Feibai? What's more, he has learned from Ma Kun that the relationship between the painter and Li Feibai is extraordinary, and it is very likely that he will become Li Feibai's wife, so he has to use all his strength to sell the painting at a high price.

When the two assistants came back from going around the field, he said: "The painting is a landscape painting of Zhanger, and the painting is magnificent...... which is enough to praise the painting for a meal, as if this painting is heaven and earth, and there are still businessmen who make a fortune and become officials who are promoted to the immortals.

After the introduction, he said: "The starting price is five hundred taels, and the price is increased by one hundred taels each time, is there a bid?" ”
