A hint of laughter crossed the corners of Qin Qin's mouth, as if he was self-deprecating and disdainful.

This kind of Qin Qin is a side that Qu Xiaoxiang has never seen.

It turns out that this woman who is self-denying and revenge also has such a free and easy side, no wonder she can have a deep love with King Ning and his wife, and spend so many years hand in hand without incident.

King Ning respects her very much and thinks about her very much, but many people don't realize it.

"So Xiaoxiang," Qin Qin looked at Qu Xiaoxiang and spoke slowly, "You are a smart woman, putting aside your prejudices against Minhui, in all fairness, isn't there anything about Minhui worthy of your admiration?" ”

Qu Xiaoxiang's heart stirred, is there anything worthy of her admiration in Lin Ruo?

Of course!

And, quite a few.

Her intelligence and cunning, her perception of people, her empathy, and her righteousness......

No matter how jealous and prejudiced Qu Xiaoxiang was, he couldn't deny Lin Ruo's excellence.

Therefore, Murong Chong will marry her as the concubine, and Su Muyu will go to the soup for her?

Wait a minute!

Su Muyu went to the soup for Lin Ruo, what does it matter to her!

She obviously wanted to explain clearly to Qin Qin, she had no relationship with Su Muyu for half a penny, and it wasn't rumored that she wanted to get engaged and married. How could it be inexplicable that she was jealous of Su Muyu's heart-digging of Lin Ruo, so she tried her best to dissociate herself from Su Muyu?

Facing Qin Qin's sincere and concerned gaze, Qu Xiaoxiang felt inexplicably tired and felt that the explanation was useless, so he simply stopped explaining anything, and changed the topic instead, turning Qin Qin's attention back to the lot of Xinglou.

Qin Qin smiled slightly, said no more, and shifted his attention.

There are some things that can only be considered enlightened if you have figured it out yourself.

Ning Wangye, the first "rich idler" in Bian'an, who came back from carefully sneaking around in the lobby, looked at the wing room where Qin Qin and Qu Xiaoxiang were, although it was ajar, but looking at the situation, it seemed that they were still talking, and they felt that they should not talk to each other, so they changed directions and walked towards the wing where Lin Ruo, Lin Qi and Li Xien were.

"Where did you get these treasures? You can even get a real painting of the 'masterpiece'! ”

King Ning sat down, poured tea and drank it without treating himself as an outsider, smiled kindly at Li Xien's round eyes because of surprise, and reached out to touch his head, but he was vigilantly dodged away and dodged towards Lin Qi's side.

Lin Ruo smiled lightly, watched Lin Qi holding Li Xien, comforted him, and fed him with all kinds of small snacks, so that he was no longer flustered, nodded with a smile, and then replied to King Ning lightly: "Poetry, calligraphy, lyrics and paintings have always been the favorite of readers, if they are not desperate, they will not be handed over to the copper-smelling businessmen in exchange for silver money." It's just that there are not many pawnshops that really understand calligraphy and painting and collect calligraphy and painting, and the authentic works are inevitably dusty, and these people often look for the so-called 'destined people' to deliver. ”

"Someone who is destined?" King Ning blinked and said unwillingly, "Why didn't you come to me, a 'destined person'?" ”

Compared with Lin Ruo, who does not know the authenticity of calligraphy and painting, King Ning thinks that he is more suitable to become a "destined person".

Lin Ruo pulled the corners of her mouth, she is indeed a profiteer who has never studied calligraphy and painting intensively, and she can't distinguish the authenticity of calligraphy and painting, but identifying the authenticity of this kind of thing, and she doesn't need to go out in person, even if the people under her can get through from under her nose, they can't hide Lin Qian and Li Yan's sharp eyes.

However, Ning Wang couldn't become a "destined person", Lin Ruo could tell him the answer with compassion: "Doing business with powerful people, how can it be easy and trouble-free to do business with merchants?" ”

Although the businessman is treacherous, he can solve it with money.

If the target is a powerful person, even if the other party can see the real thing, it is too easy to fall into the tragic ending of "guilty" - that is not something that can be solved simply with money!

The people don't fight with the officials, that's the reason.

Therefore, people who hold genuine works but are in the middle of the road would rather choose the private mortgage of "pawnshop" to barter for money, even if they are slaughtered.

King Ning was choked speechless, and could only sigh on the side.

"Brother Sanhuang, do you really like this "Qin Chopping Diagram"?"

This "Qin Chopping Picture" is one of Gu Kaizhi's masterpieces, although it is not as famous as "Luo Shen Futu", but it is also a masterpiece of the ages. The fourteen people on the painting have long eyebrows and trim eyes, solemn faces, and elegant demeanor. They either dig the plank, or string the sound, or make parts, or make the strings, which is very vivid.

"Of course!"

Qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, hops, King Ning is most greedy for wine, and the most obsessed is the piano and painting. What's more, this "Qin Chopping Picture" is still a genuine painting! How could it not be coveted by him?

Pity......

Such a picture must be expensive. How could he, an idle prince, rob this group of wealthy businessmen who spent a lot of money?

"If the third emperor brother really likes it, you can negotiate with Shopkeeper Yang first, if you can negotiate, this volume of "Qin Chopping Picture" will not participate in the next auction."

This is the auction rules of the Star Picking Building, and before going up to the second floor, the guys will explain to the distinguished customers who participated in the bidding. There are treasures that you have seen in advance, you can negotiate with the shopkeeper, of course, the price will not be low, but compared to the bidding that is red after entering the auction, it is naturally cost-effective.

After all, all bids are priced in gold, starting at only one or two thousand taels of gold, with increases ranging from tens to hundreds of taels of gold, and treasures that have been bid less than five times will be unauctioned.

Of course, whether you are willing to spend a lot of money to buy the treasures you like depends on the courage and vision of the high rollers.

It's just that today is the first auction of Xingxinglou, and it is also the first time for everyone to come into contact with such a refreshing way of shopping, so most of them still have a wait-and-see attitude.

Lin Ruo's suggestion to King Ning was very pertinent.

The value of this volume is in the middle of all the lots. However, Yang Zhuo bought it from the previous owner of the painting for only 3,000 taels of silver - for no other reason than because the previous owner of the painting did not know the authenticity and thought that this volume of "Qin Chopping Picture" was a fake depicted by the Tang people, so he bought it as an incidental to the Guanyin Jade Buddha.

If the buyer had known the value of the original painting, he would have regretted it.

"How much does that cost? Ah Ruo, you tell me the bottom first. ”

Knowing very well that Lin Ruo would not cheat people in money, especially his own people, King Ning lowered his voice and asked Lin Ruo about the price of "Qin Chopping Diagram".

"The starting price is 2,000 taels of gold, if you look at it in advance, you need 8,000 taels of gold, pay one-tenth of it as a deposit today, and pay it all within the remaining three days."

There are not many authentic works of Gu Kaizhi that have survived to this day, and it is difficult to find thousands of gold. Even though this "Picture of Chopping the Qin" is not one of his most brilliant works, the price of 8,000 taels of gold is definitely worth the money, only a little.

But King Ning hesitated.
