Chapter 293: Pan Lang (2)
After Zhao Gu arrived at Pan Lang's literary meeting, he saw that Lu Mengzheng, Zhang Qixian, Chen Xinghua, Li Fu, Kou Zhun, Lu Duan and other high-ranking officials had already arrived, full of powerful and powerful, and their style was inexplicable. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
I am afraid that in the Great Song Dynasty, except for Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Pu, and Lu Mengzheng, there is no one who can gather so many high-ranking officials and magnates.
Zhao Gu didn't show much surprise, but sat in his place under the guidance of the maid in Xiucai clothes, and after saying hello to the people around him, Zhao Gu kept silent.
I saw that in front of me, Pan Lang was sitting on the main seat, wearing a linen shirt and long jacket, stepping on tattered cloth shoes, holding a wine jug, and drinking heavily, without paying attention to everyone here, even when Zhao Gu came in, he didn't look up.
After a while, Pan Lang finally drank enough, hiccuped, and laughed: "Guys old guys, I haven't seen you for many years, are you still strong?" Don't die before me. ”
Lu Mengzheng and other high-ranking officials hesitated at the corners of their mouths, but now they are still within the New Year, how can anyone open their mouths and die with their mouths closed, you are not afraid of committing taboos.
The scene fell silent all of a sudden, Lu Mengzheng and the others did not answer Pan Lang's words, Zhao Gu watched it funny from the side, but he didn't show it, and was silent.
Pan Lang seemed to be used to it, and said to himself: "You guys, you guys pretend to be elegant all day long, and you didn't come to Lao Tzu for a painting, hahaha......." ”
Zhao Gu knew at this time that the reason why Pan Lang was able to invite so many high-ranking officials to come was because he promised to give everyone a painting, which attracted so many powerful people.
"Old Pan monster, don't say much, quickly take out the painting and take a look." But Zhang Qixian couldn't help it and said directly.
Pan Lang squinted at him, but didn't say more, directly took out a painting from under his buttocks and threw it in the main hall.
"Ouch, don't fall so hard, if you break it, it's troublesome." When an old Confucian saw that the painting was thrown to the ground, as if it was his own grandson, he ran over tremblingly and carefully picked up the painting.
This old Confucian Zhao Gu also knows, although he doesn't know the name, but he has also been to Tianxuelou Wendou that day, and he should also be one of the reclusive old Confucians.
The old man wiped the painting clean, then slowly opened the painting, only glanced at it, and then covered his chest and gasped vigorously, looking like he was about to die.
Lu Mengzheng and the others were startled, and hurriedly got up to support Lao Ru, patted his chest again, and pinched people, which made Lao Ru spit out this breath.
Lu Mengzheng and the others were puzzled, so they opened the painting, only to see that it was a picture of a lady, the maid on the picture seemed to have just gotten up, dressing up, with a lazy expression, a graceful figure, her shoulders were exposed, and her face was gorgeous, jumping on the paper, as if she was close to her.
"Shhh
The sound of inhaling sounded in the audience, which did not subside for a long time, and all the high-ranking officials looked like they had seen a ghost, as if they didn't believe their eyes.
"This is Zhang Xuan's lady picture!" Kou Zhun said.
"That's right, this must be Zhang Xuan's lady picture, according to legend, he was the court painter of Li Longji's time, and he was the inheritor and founder of the lady's calligraphy and painting, and Zhou Yu was juxtaposed, and his painting style directly affected the overall painting style of the Tang Dynasty, and he was the ancestor of our literati!" Zhang Qixian nodded and said.
Everyone else nodded, but Lu Mengzheng exclaimed at this time: "Look there, it seems to be the inscription of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji!" ”
Everyone followed his gaze, and sure enough, they saw a few words in the corner of the maid, and there was a seal on it, which was undoubtedly Tang Xuanzong Li Longji.
Everyone was stunned for a while, if this painting was only made by Zhang Xuan himself, it could only be regarded as a peerless work, but if Li Longji's inscription was added, it could be regarded as a national treasure.
Lu Duan, who was not confused about major matters, rarely spoke, but at this time, he couldn't help it, and asked: "Have you all seen the "Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu" in the palace, how does that painting compare with this painting?" ”
He is a pun, that is, to remind everyone not to forget to compare the two paintings to see if this painting is real, and also want to hear everyone's opinions, if this painting is real, compared with the "Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu", who is more valuable.
Li Fu, as a famous painter in the painting, will not look away, and said: "This painting is absolutely genuine, and because there is more Li Longji's inscription on it, it must have been inscribed by Li Longji himself when Zhang Xuan was a court painter, so I conclude that the value of this painting is far more than "The Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu". ”
Seeing Li Fudu say this, everyone was finally relieved, so they all turned their eyes to Pan Lang and asked, "Where did you get this painting?" ”
Pan Lang rolled his eyes directly at everyone: "You don't care where I got it, if you want this painting, it depends on how much silver you are willing to pay, and the rest of Hugh has to ask more." ”
Lu Mengzheng and the others were so stunned that they had to go back to their positions and sit down, saying, "You want to sell this painting?" How much? ”
"The one with the highest price wins." Pan Lang said.
Everyone frowned, they didn't expect Pan Lang to be so out of tune, such a precious, naturally everyone wants to get it, if it is really like what he said, the one with the highest price wins, then today's bid is afraid to turn the sky upside down.
But everyone can't, everyone knows that Pan Lang is an unobtrusive person, and you can't reason with him.
At that moment, a high-ranking official was the first to make an offer: "I will pay 10,000 yuan!" ”
Everyone was shocked, they didn't expect someone to offer such a high price at the beginning, this is obviously trying to take the lead!
Even Zhao Gu couldn't help but glance at this person, 10,000 yuan is equivalent to 10 million in later generations, this person actually used it to buy a painting, which shows that it is worth a lot of money.
But it is clear that 10,000 guan is by no means the final price of this painting, and someone immediately followed with 12,000 guan.
Following 13,000, 14,000, and 20,000, more and more people were bidding.
But as 20,000 guan was called out, the number of bidders gradually decreased, among which Lu Mengzheng also made a bid, but soon he gave up, although the Great Song Dynasty would not prohibit officials from doing business, and even encouraged it, but there were still few people who could take out so much money at one time.
In the end, when the initial bidder called out the price of 30,000 yuan, he finally won the auction of the painting and calligraphy.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh, this person is really wealthy!
Pan Lang was very happy, and immediately handed the calligraphy and painting to the man, who was also very straightforward, and directly took out the bill and gave it to Pan Lang.
This bill is not the well-known Jiaozi in later generations, the Jiaozi of the Great Song Dynasty can be directly used as money, although this bill can also be used for trading, but it also needs to go to the money bank to exchange for cash silver or copper plates, which can be universal.
At this time, the bill is actually more like a passbook or bank card in later generations, except that it has no password, and anyone who holds it can redeem it.
