Chapter 402: The Auction Begins

I heard that my father accepted another apprentice, and he was still a female apprentice, although he knew that his father was a visionary, Kang Yannian still didn't pay enough attention to Zhao Ruxi. I only thought that Zhao Ruxi's painting talent stopped at sketching, but he was accepted as an apprentice by his father by chance. Unexpectedly, my father accepted such an apprentice.

Kang Shilin didn't have time to pay attention to the complicated feelings of his son and eldest apprentice. He was staring at the crowd below.

Today is the day when the painting of the little apprentice is displayed in front of people's eyes. Although he was extremely confident in the paintings of his little apprentice, he was not famous after all. He was worried that everyone only valued fame, but not eyes.

So his focus was on the reactions of the people below.

I saw Gonggong Qin leading the little servant to walk slowly between the seats, and wherever the painting went, the guests there seemed to have been immobilized, standing there motionless. When they reacted, everyone wanted to move forward to the painting, but was politely stopped by Father-in-law Qin.

"Oh my God, that's amazing."

"Whose painting is this?"

"If I've seen it, I wouldn't know it."

Under the excitement, everyone couldn't help but raise their voices, and the sound of discussion reached Kang Shilin's ears.

Kang Shilin breathed a sigh of relief, with a smug look on his face.

These people, as long as they are not blind.

Not only Kang Shilin, but the other people in the box also paid attention to the downstairs after saying a few words.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Wu Zong turned his head and smiled at Zhao Ruxi: "Little junior sister, how much do you say you can get for this painting?" ”

Zhao Ruxi shook his head: "It's hard to say." After all, I'm a nobody. ”

Wu Huaisi said: "Don't worry, your painting is too shocking." Anyone with eyes knows its value. Although Zuo Qiusheng is famous, but the horse is a miracle horse, and it is a trail after all, how can he beat the galloping mountains and rivers? Don't say anything else, just your brother and me, two paintings are in front of me, I must choose your paintings. ”

"Thank you, brother, for your love." Zhao Ruxi said with a smile.

Wu Zong couldn't help but give the little junior sister a thumbs up in his heart.

Since Zhao Ruxi's apprenticeship, although Wu Huaisi's attitude towards Zhao Ruxi is also good, and there are many maintenances in case of trouble, but it is all in the face of the master, and Zhao Ruxi himself is not very important.

Later, I saw that Zhao Ruxi was good in both behavior and talent, although he had changed his views a little, his attitude basically did not change much.

As an official to the level of Wuhuai Temple, I don't know how many people and things I see, and fewer and fewer people can enter the eyes of Wuhuai Temple.

But just now, he could clearly feel that the senior brother was interested in getting close to the little junior sister.

If you were someone else, you would be flattered to be able to get such a gesture from the senior brother, and gladly accept the kindness of the senior brother, and respond enthusiastically to the senior brother.

But the little junior sister still maintained her previous attitude, as if she couldn't feel the cold treatment of the senior brother before and the warmth now, and her attitude was always the same.

What does it mean to be neither humble nor arrogant, the little junior sister vividly interpreted the meaning of this idiom for him.

Zhao Ruxi's attitude not only did not make Wu Huaisi unhappy, but made him pay more and more attention to it.

Kang Yannian's change of attitude is the same as that of Wu Huai Temple.

"The bidding has begun." Gong Cheng's excited voice pulled Wu Zong's thoughts back, "Let's see what the reserve price is." ”

Zuo Qiusheng's painting, the reserve price is 8,000 taels of silver. Gong Cheng wanted to know what kind of reserve price the fifth prince would set for the painting of the little junior sister.

As soon as he said this, other people's attention was also focused on Guan Wentao.

The reserve price represents the auction house's recognition of Zhao Ruxi's painting, and it is also the key to establishing Zhao Ruxi's status.

"It can't be too low, it can't be too high." Wu Huaisi stared at Guan Wentao and muttered.

Everyone was only worried about it too low, but when he said this, it suddenly made sense.

set it too low, and everyone muttered more and more in their hearts. Zhao Ruxi's painting style is too strong, and everyone has never seen it. Now that it has been confirmed by the auction house, the bid may not be too high.

But if the reserve price is set higher than Zuo Qiusheng, when the truth is revealed, everyone will feel deceived again.

You little girl, can you be more famous and outstanding than other people's Zuoqiu students?

At that time, everyone will not care who sets the reserve price of this auction, they will only feel that Zhao Ruxi does not know the height of the sky and is too arrogant.

"As I said below, things are destined to be found. Therefore, whether it is the galloping horse in front of it or the landscape painting just now, the auction house has covered up the painter's payment with something. Our original intention is to let everyone see with their eyes and feel with their hearts. We want people to appreciate and collect the paintings, not for the fame of the painter, but to really pay attention to the painting itself. It's hard to buy a favorite. Only if you like it, you think it's worth it for any amount of money. If you don't like it, it's naturally worthless. Do you think Wen Tao is right? ”

"Yes. But I still want to know who the person who painted this picture is. Finally, someone below shouted below without putting on a stand for the official master.

Everyone burst into laughter.

After laughing, someone chimed in: "Yes, you tell us who drew it." ”

"It's a question that only the person who took the picture is qualified to know." Guan Wentao said with a smile, then smiled, and said, "The landscape painting "Flying Stream", the reserve price is 8,000 taels of silver, and the auction will start now. ”

As he spoke, he slammed the snare drum.

As soon as he finished speaking, a little guy immediately raised his card: "Ten thousand taels." ”

The scene fell silent all of a sudden. Everyone looked at the little guy blankly - they haven't recruited the messenger yet, who is so anxious that they will directly call the price to 10,000 taels?

In Xiao Lingpu's box, Fu Yunlang looked at his brother speechlessly: "Brother, you like this painting so much?" "The reserve price hasn't been quoted yet, so his brother is indiscriminate, and directly asks the little guy to quote a price of 10,000 taels.

In addition to military books, his brother is a person who doesn't touch other books, and he doesn't have any artistic cells. If anyone gave him a famous calligraphy and painting, he would definitely want to ask someone to exchange it for the equivalent value of silver, lest he have to take the calligraphy and painting to the pawnshop to exchange for silver, which is troublesome and depreciating, and it is not cost-effective.

Moreover, after seeing too much of the poor life of the people at the border gates, his brother was the most unsightly to spend a lot of money, just to buy something that he couldn't eat or wear.

Just such a person, but now he has to pay 10,000 taels of silver to buy this painting that is not suitable for food and clothing, he thinks that his brother is simply crazy.

Fu Yunkai was about to speak, when he saw that the little guy representing their box had reported his 10,000 taels, and before everyone had woken up from their sluggishness, he raised his card again and reported a number: "Fifteen thousand taels of silver." ”

Those people were about to call the messenger to report the number, but they saw that this little guy who was "No. 7" had put himself out of the auction, and everyone was stunned.

What kind of trick is this? Can you still play like this?

"This is ......" Fu Yunlang felt that his brain was not good.

Xiao Lingpu said calmly: "This is my bid." ”

Fu Brothers: "......"
