Chapter 328: The Man in the Painting
Gu Suliang reminded Gu Yan not to look up, but it was the first time for Gu Yan to do such a thing, and it was inevitable that she would be a little weak, so she could only keep her head very low until she sat in her position, and then relaxed a little.
Shen Zhongbai had already noticed Gu Suran when he entered the door, naturally it was impossible not to notice that he had been keeping his head down, he waved his hand and beckoned his guards, "Go and see, what's going on." ”
Gu Suliang glanced at the people around him vigilantly, and immediately noticed that Gu Yan's current behavior was too eye-catching, if she continued like this, I am afraid that she would really show her feet and be discovered by Shen Zhongbai.
"Don't keep your head down, keep your head up, just as you would when you normally speak." Gu Su Liang just didn't expect that when he was checking, he thought that Shen Zhongbai would sit on the first floor, or the seat near the railing on the second floor, so as much as possible, Gu Yan's position was chosen in a place where Shen Zhongbai was unlikely to notice, but he didn't expect that he would choose such a position, Shen Zhongbai can now see every move of the people below, which is really a bit dangerous.
Gu Yan also noticed that her behavior was indeed a little abnormal, and it was easy to attract the attention of others, so she raised her head directly, but at this time, Gu Huai'an suddenly walked in front of her.
"Brother......
Gu Yan didn't react for a while, and almost blurted out to call her brother, but fortunately, she stopped it in time, and now at this time, the hall on the first floor was noisy, except for the few people with better ears near them, no one else heard what Gu Yan said just now.
"Little boy is a good person today, why do you have time to come to the Chamber of Commerce?" Gu Huai'an naturally also noticed Gu Yan's abnormality, Shen Zhongbai, who was sitting on the second floor, had already noticed it, and he had no other way but to come over and talk to Gu Chang and tell Shen Zhongbai's subordinates to listen, so as not to cause trouble.
"Gu Gongzi, I haven't seen you for many days, I don't know if you came to the Chamber of Commerce today, but what do you like?"
The Chamber of Commerce is such a place, in fact, it is for these businessmen to justifiably deal with some things that are not easy to sell on weekdays, most of the businessmen who stay here already have what they want in their minds and bid for it, so they will come to this place, Gusu Liang, as a big family in Kyoto, occasionally comes to join in the fun, Gu Huaian is a doctor and a businessman, and the purpose of his coming here is mostly for some precious medicinal materials.
Gu Su Liang inquired early in the morning, among today's bids, there are indeed precious medicinal materials, since this is the case, we have to start with this medicinal material to attract Shen Zhongbai's attention.
"There is nature, I just hope that the little boy will wait for a while, don't compete with the next, this thing is very important to the next, I hope the little boy can look at the friendship between the big boy and the next, and raise your noble hand."
Gu Huai'an nodded in the direction of Gu Yan, and Gu Yan also stood up and returned the salute.
"Gu Gongzi laughed, I, a fledgling young man, how can I be able to compete with Gu Gongzi in the Chamber of Commerce for many years? If there is anything that needs help, just say it, and I will do my best to help Gu Gongzi. ”
Shen Zhongbai's subordinates naturally told Shen Zhongbai the content of the conversation between the two of them word for word, and he actually always understood in his heart that Gu Su Liang and Gu Huai'an had a very close relationship, but today, Gu Su Liang did not show up, but it was Gu Su Liang's younger brother who came to this kind of occasion, could it be true Just like the president of the Chamber of Commerce said, this Gu Su Ran is really a business talent?
The auctions of the Chamber of Commerce this year are indeed all rare treasures, and there are some things that even Shen Zhongbai has never seen, but what Shen Zhongbai is most surprised by is what this Gu Suran took out.
Gu Yan secretly went back to the Nine Kings Mansion, rummaging through the cabinets in Busan, and he didn't feel that anything around him was a rare treasure, and the things taken out by other merchants were simply not worth mentioning compared to his own things, Gu Su Liang saw that Gu Yan began to hesitate, and then spoke, "It doesn't matter what you take out to auction, the important thing is to let Shen Zhongbai discover your ability, as for the value of the things you take out, it doesn't matter at all." ”
Gu Su Liang was afraid that Gu Yan would continue to struggle with this matter, so he simply dispelled Gu Yan's thoughts, "Just take one of them, just this one!" ”
Gu Su Liang didn't even look at it, so he took away a painting on Gu Yan's desk, but he didn't expect that this painting would help them a lot today.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Gongzi Gusu brought a painting today, I don't know which person is destined to take this painting away? This painting is not a master's work, but the brushstrokes are delicate, and the people in the painting are also vivid, this kind of painting is still very rare today, I don't know which son is willing to bid? ”
Standing in the middle, the person who described this painting also looked a little embarrassed, after all, even he didn't expect that the little son of the Gusu family, who had recently become famous, would come up with such a little-known word to shoot, although the painting of this painting is good, but it is a nameless work, a painter who is not famous, it is not worth anything, this little boy, is it such a person who has never seen the world?
"This painting ......" Gu Yan's eyes also straightened all of a sudden, originally when Gu Su Liang took this painting, she didn't realize it at all, but now that it was unfolded on the stage, she remembered.
Gu Su Liang is so coincidental, why did he take this painting?
This was painted before he fell into the water, at that time, he still liked Shen Zhongbai wholeheartedly, most of the character paintings he painted were painted by Shen Zhongbai as the prototype, after arriving at the Nine Kings' Mansion, most of them were thrown in the Gu family, and I thought that I should not be able to find it for a long time, most of this painting is a scene, and it is a work that I am rarely satisfied with, so I stayed, but I didn't expect it to be taken by Gu Su Liang to make a bid!
Finding that Gu Yan's expression was different, Gu Su Liang hurried up, "What's the matter, is there something wrong with that painting?" ”
Although the lot that came to the stage could not theoretically be recovered, if no one bids, it would be returned, so there should be no problem.
Gu Yan frowned, "No." "I just hope that Shen Zhongbai is at that distance, don't see the content on the painting, it's him, if it's another scene, it's just that, it's the scene of Shen Zhongbai hunting in the paddock, by the lake, it's hard to guarantee whether Shen Zhongbai will have an impression.
Although she said that it was okay, Gu Yan still rolled up her sleeves.
Probably because this painting is not a masterpiece of a famous artist, so no one has bid for most of the day, Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, at this time, Shen Zhongbai suddenly stood up, "This painting, it seems to be near the royal paddock, the person who wants to come to this painting should also be the official child of this Kyoto, but there is no name on the book, in my opinion, it is a good masterpiece, is it true that all the shopkeepers are not ready to bid?" ”
"I'll give you a hundred taels." The owner of a calligraphy and painting workshop made a trembling bid, after all, this is a masterpiece that the emperor said himself, and he can't miss it.
Hearing that someone was bidding, Gu Yan was relieved, as long as it was not Shen Zhongbai who took the painting in the end, it meant that Shen Zhongbai did not realize the problem in the painting.
There were people bidding in the chamber of commerce, and in the end, the painting was bought by a calligraphy and painting workshop owner from another place, and Gu Yan was relieved.
"Don't slack off, here's what we want."
Qi Bai looked around vigilantly, Gu Huai'an also returned to his position early, the preciousness of this medicinal material Gu Yan was not clear, but this was an important opportunity for him to show his skills in front of Shen Zhongbai today, and he must not miss it.
"One thousand taels." Before anyone on the stage could make an introduction, someone made an offer.
"This girl is really good eyesight, this medicine was planted by Mr. Longyuan himself, the legendary elixir that can cure injuries and bones, for everyone who walks the rivers and lakes, it can be regarded as the best elixir."
"Five thousand taels!" Gu Huai'an didn't expect that the auctioned things would be temporarily replaced, this was originally just a purple bamboo grass, although it was rare, but it was not precious to such an extent, he didn't want to have too many disputes with others, whether he got this medicine by himself or his sister-in-law, it was okay, and it must not fall into the hands of others.
"Gu Gongzi is really generous...... Shen Zhongbai nodded, this Gu Huai'an is worthy of being a famous miracle doctor in the world, and he will definitely not miss Mr. Longyuan's elixir.
"Seven thousand!" At the beginning, the woman who bid directly offered the price of seven thousand, and she didn't think about it at all, Gu Suliang saw the girl, seemed to frown, and quickly touched Gu Yan's shoulder, "Don't be in a hurry to bid, wait for the highest price of that woman." ”
Their original plan was to let Gu Yan push the boat to give this medicine to Gu Huai'an, which happened to echo the previous situation, but they didn't want to make a trip to bite the gold halfway, just three short bids, it was about to exceed 10,000, if Gu Huai'an continued to go down, Shen Zhongbai would probably be suspicious.
"Ten thousand taels." Gu Huai'an definitely didn't want to miss Mr. Longyuan's elixir, he looked back at Gu Yan, who had never been married, but saw Gu Suliang gesturing to himself, indeed, if this woman continues to bid down, she will indeed die and may not be able to hold on, it seems that she also needs to accept it when she sees it.
"Gu Gongzi, isn't it a bit ridiculous to offer such a small box of medicinal materials at a price of 10,000 taels?" The woman stood up, smiled in Gu Huai'an's direction and said, as if she had decided to withdraw from the bid.
