Chapter 87: Auction

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the bustling Jinling Mansion is very lively, and on the Qinhuai River, the lantern cruise boats are like dragons, traveling with the water. In the green buildings on both sides of the strait, singing and dancing are leveling, chanting and laughing, so lively.

At this time, the art garden not far from Fireworks Lane is also crowded, and the stall owners of the stalls on the art street are all overwhelmed and busy.

At this time, in the theater, the jade breaking case, which must be performed every night, was also suspended for the first time, and a unique fantasy trick was staged!

At this moment, on the stage, Dong Ce stood alone in front of a flat white cloth screen frame, his hands slowly pinched the white cloth, suddenly, the light behind the white cloth lit up, and then a graceful figure appeared on the cloth, in the surprised eyes of more than 200 audiences in the audience, the figure danced, and the dance was extremely graceful and intoxicating.

As Dong Ce pointed a little, there was a sudden "bang", and a thick smoke exploded behind the screen like a cloud, and the figure seemed to turn into white smoke and disappeared in an instant.

Without waiting for the audience's surprise, Dong Ce shook his hand to conjure up a piece of Yunjin, repeatedly gave the audience a closer look, then held it up to cover his whole body, and then only in the blink of an eye, Yunjin shook it off and closed it, and in an instant, white smoke floated out, and an amazing scene appeared!

I saw that Dong Ce was still alone on the stage, and at this moment, a beautiful woman wearing a neon dress and silk dress with long flowing silver hair appeared out of thin air in front of him.

Dong Ce smiled lightly and retreated step by step, as if he wanted to leave the stage to this woman.

As the white-haired woman moved, the drums sounded in unison, and she danced like a fairy.

The audience, who had not yet recovered from the shock, was instantly brought into the clouds by the light dance, and was shocked to realize that they were also as ethereal as smoke.

With the music and dancing, followed by human voices but no figures, there seemed to be ten, even dozens, and only one or two people, singing a long poem.

"The mica screen candle shadow is deep, and the long river is gradually falling. Chang'e should repent of stealing the elixir, and the blue sea and blue sky are night and night. ”

On the stage, the white snow moth danced in response to the poem, dancing out of loneliness and coldness, dancing out of the secret tears, when the audience was sighing for her lonely sleep, she actually floated up, rippling with long sleeves flying higher and higher, and finally disappeared on the stage.

"Wow!" After a long period of stunned silence, there was a sudden collective uproar.

At the end of the poem, the song is closed, the beauty has gone, and what is left behind, in addition to the lingering sound, is the dance that is shocking, but because of this, many people are dissatisfied, not to remember the song and the poem, but to hate it is too short!

"Alas, Chang'e has gone to the moon to make moon cakes, leave me and other laypeople to prepare to do mundane things!" Dong Ce appeared on the stage, revealing the face of a businessman, and became the master of ceremonies for his lacquer paintings.

As three paintings made of cotton cloth made of paper and paint as ink were brought to the stage, everyone woke up to the fact that they came to the theater tonight just for lacquer paintings, but they didn't expect to enjoy a beautiful Chang'e running to the moon.

These three paintings, a landscape, a market, are all zhang wide, six feet high, the mountain is the spring rain Zhongshan, the city is the prosperous east gate, are the scenery that can be found in Jinling Mansion, in these two paintings, whether it is the small beast sheltering from the rain in the mountain, or the passer-by of the market house, it is realistic and vivid, such as real and illusory, which makes people feel excited.

But nothing has attracted the most attention than the last one, which is engraved with the eight beauties!

Dong Ce faced the audience and said aloud: "The first two don't need me to introduce more, and this ten beautiful pictures, on the left, next to the stream, Xi Shi Huansha, Yu Ji hanging a sword from her waist looking up at the sky, on the right, the sable cicada in front of the flowers holds a water scoop and elegantly waters the flowers, Luo Shen Zhen Mi holds her hair and looks at the book, on the picture, it is the Chang'e who danced before the moon, and under the moon, there are thousands of troops looking back and smiling, and in the center is on the horizontal Chen Qingshi, it is the enchanting peerless Su Daji, on both sides of his body, sitting around the pipa Wang Zhaojun and Zhuo Wenjun singing the piano, In the end, the beauty in red clothes fluttering and dancing in the air was Zhao Feiyan, who was as light as a swallow. ”

When Dong Ce finished his introduction, before he could make an offer in a hurry, a young man sitting in the VIP seat got up and said impatiently: "Master Dong, I don't know if you can take a closer look on the stage?" ”

Dong Ce was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then thought about it and said: "Yes, but only ten people can be arranged on the stage at a time, starting from seat No. 1, whoever wants to wait on the side of the stage now, and someone will arrange for you to come up immediately." ”

Hearing this, ten people in the VIP table immediately got up, and it was from the first to the tenth that no one could still sit firmly.

And from the 11th, everyone has gotten up and is ready to go on stage at any time.

A group of people came to the stage to savor between the three paintings, and stayed in front of the ten beautiful pictures for the longest time, and even some people couldn't get away, they couldn't beat and couldn't scold, which made Dong Ce very helpless, but fortunately, he didn't need to do anything, and there were guests to help him and drag those boys off the stage directly.

It took an hour for the guests to savor the three paintings, which made Dong Ce's feet numb, and his saliva was dry because of explaining to the guests.

Took a cup of tea from the maid who dug it from the hands of the white snow moth, and after drinking it all in one gulp, Dong Ce handed the teacup to the maid, walked to a small counter in a few steps, picked up the small mallet, and said to the customers who were already impatient: "The rules of my art garden auction, you have already heard the introduction of the running hall when you come in, and now you are directly bidding, Zhongshan Spring Rain Map, the low price is ten times, and the price increase cannot be less than one hundred Wen each time, of course, there is the rich man who directly bids a thousand yuan, and he will not mind it in the next, only welcome!" ”

As soon as Dong Ce's words fell, someone immediately shouted: "Ten consistent! ”

Dong Ce glanced at the guests who were bidding, and immediately said: "The No. 13 VIP guest has always asked for a lot, who still wants to increase the price?" If not, I'll have three counts and the gavel will fall! As soon as this gavel falls, the trade ......"

Before Dong Ce finished speaking, someone immediately got up and shouted, "I'm going out of thirteen!" ”

As soon as the voice fell, someone said, "Eighteen runs!" ”

"Eighteen and five hundred texts!"

"Twenty times."

"Twenty consistent."

"Thirty times!"

“……”

In the blink of an eye, Zhongshan's spring rain picture was raised to five times the lowest price, but it did not stop, until Zhou Gongzi, who often went back and forth to the art street painting stall and even Dong Ce had an impression of him, offered a high price of sixty-five yuan, and no one raised the price.

The lacquer painting has just come out, and the specific price is not what the art garden says, but what the guests say, but now the guests are also ignorant and dare not go deep easily, so under the high price of sixty-five times, almost everyone restrains their impulses!

Maybe these paintings are far more than this price, but it may not always be there, it all depends on the world, and the longer the painting, the more expressive the identity of the person who painted, the price is naturally different, but Dong Ce is just a fledgling, although he has some fame in Jinling, but he can't get into the eyes of many people, so his paintings are hard to find.

But who would have thought that ten years later, this picture of Zhongshan Spring Rain was really auctioned for a thousand gold in Luoyang Mansion!
