"Draw Gu Kaizhi's authentic work "Qin Chopping Picture", 12,000 taels. Do you still want to increase the price? ”

Half of the hourglass of timekeeping has passed.

Whenever a new high price is replaced, the guy will change to a new hourglass to time, if the hourglass is completed, no one offers a higher price, the "auctioneer" drops the hammer, and the ownership of the lot will be settled.

Lu Yiran looked around proudly, seeing the fine sand falling one by one, it was about to pass away, thinking that this volume of "Qin Chopping Diagram" was about to fall into the bag, and the excitement in his eyes was difficult to suppress.

King Ning sighed and regretted that he had not been at the beginning: "Alas, I knew earlier, I should have listened to you, spend eight thousand taels of gold ......"

However, just as he could finish speaking, another cry rang out.

"Thirteen thousand taels."

Lu Yiran suddenly put down Erlang's legs, and looked in the direction of the voice with resentful eyes.

The one who raised the sign was a small guy. After bidding the price, the little servant saluted the person behind the light gauze curtain and stood aside respectfully. Although the light gauze curtain is thin, under the reflection of the candle flame, people can't see the true face of the person behind the curtain.

"The guests of the seventeenth chamber are currently bidding the highest, thirteen thousand taels."

The auctioneer with a wooden hammer in his hand called the price again, and the young man next to him also cleverly changed to a new hourglass timer.

The starting price of "Qin Tu" is 2,000 taels of gold, and the first ten bids have to be increased by at least 200 taels, and after that, there is no constraint, and the price can be increased at will. But from the very beginning, Lu Yiran showed an appearance of ambition, adding 1,210,000 taels upwards to throw other competitors away.

thought that this "Qin Chopping Diagram" would definitely belong to him, but he didn't want to kill such a trip halfway. Since 8,000 taels, the mysterious guest in the 17th wing has never increased the price, but when the hourglass is about to leak out, he inserted a foot sideways and directly increased the price by 1,000 taels!

Lu Yiran gritted his teeth and raised his card again to bid: "Fourteen thousand taels!" ”

"Fifteen thousand taels!"

Before the auctioneer could speak, the little man who was standing in front of the seventeenth chamber raised his sign again to bid the price.

"Hey, that's wicked!" King Ning became interested in the mysterious person in the No. 17 wing, and his slender fingers pointed in the direction of the seventeenth wing, and said to Lin Ruo, "The people in this Bian'an City have a lot of money, and they are all named. I don't know what kind of identity this person is, so he dares to snatch food from the mouth of the Lu family like this? ”

Fifteen thousand taels of gold, this price, for Gu Kaizhi's authentic works, is about to be capped.

Lin Ruo was also a little curious, carefully combed through the distinguished guests invited today from his mind, and glanced at the distinguished guests in each side room, and had a general conclusion in his heart.

"Why, do you know who's in there?"

Seeing a knowing smile on Lin Ruo's face, King Ning couldn't help but ask curiously. Lin Qi also cast inquiring eyes, but Li Xien still ignored the auction and only ate delicious cakes.

Lin Ruo hooked the corners of his mouth, revealing a light and shallow smile: "This one, I'm afraid it's not for the "Qin Chopping Picture". ”

"What's that for?"

"For the sake of King Ye's face, and for the Lu family to spend more money."

King Ning keenly smelled a hint of conspiracy, and asked uncertainly, "The prince's people?" ”

Although the head of the household department is the prince's person, and most of the household departments are princelings, but after careful calculation, there is really no businessman under the prince who can be as rich as the Lu family, otherwise, he would not be so deliberate to win over the ten thousand families.

"Bai Sanniang of Yangzhou."

If it is said that the wind and snow of Bian'an City stand out from many green buildings is "skillful", then the flower street and willow lane of Qinhuai Yangzhou are won in "Jiao" - glamorous and charming.

In Yangzhou, Qinhuai, flower workshops are all over the place, and wealthy businessmen gather. In such a gold nest, there are many businessmen with thousands of dollars in their pockets, and they spend 100,000 silver on a meal of flower wine, which abounds.

And Bai Sanniang is the first-class character in this Qinhuai Yangzhou.

Not only did the merchants who came and go to Yangzhou have to give her a few thin noodles, but even the officials who were transferred to Yangzhou had to "pay a visit to the wharf" first. Not to mention the girls and bustards of the Qinglou in Huafang on both sides of the Qinhuai River, no one dares to offend this one. The power behind her is very complicated, and it is said that she once had a dewy affair with a nobleman and had a son, although the nobleman never married her into the family, but always sent someone to protect her secretly; It is also said that she is the mistress of the most powerful underworld leader in Jiangnan, and whoever dares to offend her will have a bloody disaster within three days......

And so on and so forth.

was able to catch up with Bai Sanniang, I have to say that the prince's two trips to Shangyu were in vain.

This time Bai Sanniang has never entered Beijing, the person who came is Bai Sanniang's righteous son Bai Que, of course, some people say that it is Bai Sanniang's biological son, and there are all kinds of conclusive evidence.

Although Lin Ruo had never seen Bai Que's face, he had heard several brothers of the Wang family talk about it when he was in Jinling, and this Bai Young Master was unusually good-looking, even more beautiful than the Oiran on the banks of the Qinhuai River. Probably because of this, he rarely sees people, and if he travels, he must cover most of his face with a delicate mask.

After talking for a while, the price of the volume of "Chopping the Qin" went up again, and Bai Que directly increased it to 20,000 taels. And in comparison, Lu Yiran's face was a little ugly, and every time he quoted, he gritted his teeth as if he was ruthless, and on Bai Que's side, the main owner was still comfortable behind the curtain, and the little guy who quoted was waiting outside the curtain respectfully, calmly holding up the card.

The people around whispered, guessing who the mysterious guest in Room Seventeen was.

King Ning hurriedly poured himself a cup of tea to suppress his shock, and then lowered his voice and said to Lin Ruo: "This Bai Sanniang's family background is really thicker than the Lu family?" ”

Not necessarily. But ......"

Lin Ruo smiled lightly and sold it.

"But what?"

"Lu Yiran is the cousin of the Lu family, and his son is still a concubine, let alone a nephew? Even if the Lu family has money, it will not be squandered by him at will. If it weren't for King Ye's desire for this volume of "Qin Chopping Diagram", the Lu family might not have let go of his mouth and allowed him to spend so much. However, that white boy is very different. ”

Even if it was picked up, it was a son, and it was Bai Sanniang's only son.

has been dependent on each other for so many years, even if it is not biological, it is better than biological.

The intimacy between people is often so straightforward and cruel.

The words fell into Lin Qi's ears, and he felt a little uncomfortable inexplicably, and said to Lin Ruo: "Second sister, it's not necessarily!" ”

Knowing that Lin Qi was only treating her and Li Yan, he smiled gently: "Of course, how can the Lu family compare with our family?" ”

The three words "our family" made Lin Qi smile again, nodded vigorously, showed his approval, touched Li Xien's head, and said thoughtlessly: "Xi'en too." ”
