CHAPTER XIX

"I'm going to have this picture! I'll see who dares to rob me! Twenty thousand taels! ”

The voice of a man with five big and three thick came out, and Jin Xi followed the prestige, and it was really like what Jin Xi said, it was an old man with a lewd and greasy face, squinted eyes, a flushed face as if he had drunk wine, and a scruffy beard.

Jin Xi heard someone discussing, and A said, "Yo, isn't this Second Master Jia?" I heard that he came here for this painting? ”

B said: "Hehe, this old man Jia is really stupid and has a lot of money, this painting wants me to say, it's not even worth five thousand taels." ”

A said again: "Hey, don't say it, isn't this Second Master Jia just a stupid person?" Who doesn't smash him? ”

Originally, Jia Erye thought that he was winning, but he didn't expect someone to rob him, and another man who looked a little thin stood up: "I'll give twenty-five thousand!" ”

Jia Erye said: "Hehe, you kid really don't know who I am? Do you dare to grab the painting I fancied? I'll give 30,000! The highest price wins! ”

The audience was in an uproar: "Oh, these two people actually really shouted the price." ”

A said: "Look, just this Boss Jia, I can see him 'contributing' to the Ink Dyeing Pavilion every year." I'm afraid I'm going to plant it again this time! ”

Jin Xi shook his head: "Alas, I'll just say, there will definitely be people like them who will raise the price, this painting wants me to say, selling for three thousand taels is too much, it's not as good as the "Ten Horses" just now!." ”

Yingying asked curiously: "Then why did Boss Xiao set the price so high knowing that this painting was not good?" Isn't he afraid that no one will buy it in the end? ”

Jin Xi waved his hand and said, "How can it not be sold?" Look at the posture of these two people, if you keep shouting, it is estimated that you will shout a sky-high price. ”

Sure enough, Jia Erye shouted, "I'll give thirty-five thousand!" You kid just have to rob me. The thin man said, "I'll give 40,000!" ”

Jin Xi looked at the two of them with contemptuous eyes and said, "Let me tell you, Yingying, if you continue in this state, the price will only get higher and higher, which shows that Master Xiao deliberately set the price high, and the purpose was to fool this group of stupid and wealthy womanizers from the beginning!" ”

Yingying got goosebumps when she heard this: "Oops, don't talk about it, it's disgusting." ”

Jin Xi looked at the two people who were competing to shout, frowned and said, "And I think this matter is not so simple!" ”

Just when everyone thought that the thin man was going to bid again, the thin man stopped shouting, and Jia Erye didn't know that he had fallen into the trap: "Hehe, little white face, you can't shout me, right?" This painting is mine! ”

Everyone in the audience looked at each other, only Boss Jia sat down happily, and hummed with Erlang's legs crossed!

Master Xiao announced: "This painting was finally auctioned to Boss Jia at a price of 50,000 taels!" Now that two affordable calligraphy and paintings have been auctioned, the next one to be auctioned is the real thing! ”

The audience almost stared at the booth in front of them with wide eyes, and unlike the previous works, the previous paintings were pushed over by two people directly on the wooden board, while this painting was put on by Master Xiao himself and then unfolded on the wooden board with two subordinates.

Master Xiao said: "This painting is a high-imitation "Yuhuaxi Deer Drinking Picture", and the starting price is 35,000 taels of gold. ”

Yingying said: "Oh, the price of this painting is different all of a sudden!" This painting is very beautiful, but the estimated price is only afraid that it will not be low, my father said this time, only allowed to buy a painting within 10,000 taels of silver. ”

Jin Xi also said: "Yes, compared with the previous two, the level of this painting is simply scum!" You look at the deer's head down and drinking, the natural color of the markings on the body, I seem to be able to see the fawn's eyelashes clearly, the mouth that drinks water seems to be still moving. And the red flower of this tree is also very beautifully painted, and the petals falling from mid-air seem to be being blown by the wind. ”

After everyone took turns bidding for the auction, the painting was sold for 40,000 taels of gold.

In this way, Yingying listened to Jin Xi's evaluation of the painting, ate melon seeds, and finally fell asleep groggily, and when Jin Xi called her up, more than half of the auction had already been auctioned.

Jin Xi tugged at the corner of Yingying's clothes: "Yingying, what do you think of this painting?" Isn't it to your liking? And it's only eight thousand taels! ”

Yingying rubbed her sleepy eyes: "Oh? Is it really as good as you say? ”

Xiao Qianyu is introducing this painting: "This painting is called "Peony Smoke and Rain Pavilion", and the starting price is 8,000 taels. ”

Yingying began to look at the painting carefully, the picture is a peony flower in the rain, swaying in the smoke and rain, the graceful figure is completely outlined by a few strokes, although the painting is very cheap, but it is also very suitable for Yingying's appetite.

Yingying raised her slender and white arms: "I'll give nine thousand taels!" ”

At this time, the thin man who had just snatched the "Lady Fun Picture" with Jia Erye began to shout again, "I'll pay nine thousand one hundred taels!" ”

Yingying was so angry that she stomped her foot and almost knocked over the tea cup on the table: "Why does this person want to buy any painting?" It's disgusting! I'm! I'll give 10,000 taels! ”

The thin man stopped shouting.

Jin Xi said tentatively: "Yingying, is this painting just what you want?" ”

Yingying said: "Yes, I like it very much, this painting can be placed in my bedroom, I can see it every morning, it must be great, this ten thousand taels are not in vain." ”

Jin Xi paused and said, "Yingying, you can listen to what I say next, don't be angry." ”

Yingying didn't react for a while: "What? Why should I be angry? ”

Jin Xi said: "This man shouted all his works just now...... You know what I'm going to say next, right? ”

Yingying suddenly realized: "Oh! Do you mean that this man is the trustee of the auction house? ”

Jin Xi nodded: "Yes, if I'm not mistaken, it should be like this." In addition, every time the Ink Dye Pavilion holds an auction, it will appoint a different person to do it. "So this time is no exception.

Yingying said: "No wonder you told me not to be angry, but I think about it, if there is a trust, whether the auction house has a painting or not, they will not lose anything, this auction house is really cunning." ”

Jin Xi said: "How else can it be called no treacherous business? This Boss Xiao is so shrewd and capable, naturally he will not let himself suffer. ”

Yingying picked up a piece of dim sum and said, "Alas, that's it, but fortunately, this painting is quite good-looking, and I'm quite satisfied." Yingying said as she stuffed the snack into her mouth. Let's eat something delicious, the only thing that comforts me now is food. ”

Jin Xi said: "I really convinced you!" At this time, I can still think of eating. ”

Boss Xiao solemnly announced: "The next painting is a painting that we have treasured for a long time, and we will put it up for auction today!" ”
