Jin Xi and Yingying also followed everyone's gaze, and Ling Qiuyue was slowly walking towards the first row. She walked straight to her seat and sat down.

Someone at the bottom discussed: "This Boss Ling is actually a woman?" ”

Another person said: "Of course, but it's no wonder that Boss Ling won't show up a few times a year, unless it's when Jiweixuan selects a chef, and then this auction can move her, but you can also see how much this Boss Ling loves paintings." ”

The third person interjected again: "This Boss Ling is a chef, why do you like calligraphy and painting?" ”

The first person said, "What do you know?" It's called a hobby! Be careful that Boss Ling listens! ”

……

Several people were talking about Boss Ling, but Yingying said: "I have also heard a little about Boss Ling, my father said that she used to be a closed disciple of a certain kitchen god, and later set up her own door after completing her studies, and then broke into a famous hall and opened her own restaurant, and later became 'Jiweixuan'." ’”

Jin Xi said, "Oh? Does this Boss Ling sound very powerful? But I used to think he was a man! However, she is a woman, and it is a miracle that she can have today's achievements. ”

Jin Xi looked at Boss Ling's appearance, with tight hair, smoothed sideburns, and a capable dress, simple makeup. It all shows that the woman sitting in her seat in front of her is not a simple strong woman.

Yingying said: "But there is another thing that I didn't expect! ”

Jin Xi asked curiously, "What is it?" ”

Yingying said: "Master Xiao should not be an ordinary person, I have been to this ink dyeing pavilion a few times, but it is the first time to see him, if he is a new guy, how can he be so familiar with the situation of the ink dyeing pavilion and the situation of Tibetan paintings?" Don't you think it's weird? Brocade? ”

Jin Xi paused, yes, why didn't she think of it? "What you said makes a lot of sense, according to what you said, this Steward Xiao shouldn't be a simple character. Yingying, I see that your head usually thinks about food, why is this well-eaten food so smart? ”

Yingying said, "How can there be? You're going to make fun of me. ”

Sure enough, what Boss Ling said next confirmed Yingying's thoughts: "Thank you to the second leader of the Ink Dyeing Pavilion this time, Xiao Qianyu and Jiweixuan hosted this event together......"

Sure enough, this Master Xiao is really not a simple character, who would have thought that an old man with an unattractive appearance would be the second master of the Ink Dyeing Pavilion?

Yingying said: "Sure enough, this Master Xiao is such a character, no wonder he knew everything about the content of the painting when he showed us the painting just now." ”

Xiao Qianyu said with a smile: "Hehe, Boss Ling is really modest, the old man is just doing things for our Ink Dyeing Pavilion master." ”

Jin Xi asked Yingying: "Yingying, where did you say the big boss of the Ink Dyeing Pavilion went?" ”

Yingying smiled and said: "Haha, Jin Xi you are asking the right person, let me tell you, the master of the Ink Dyeing Pavilion is also a painter, so he often travels to famous mountains and rivers to feel that nature is not at home." Moreover, I heard that Master Xiao also likes to travel in the mountains and rivers, looking for folk artists and calligraphy and painting collections from all over the world. However, he is different from the big boss, the big boss does not find good calligraphy and painting treasures and will not come back. And the second boss basically only goes out for a few months every 5 years. ”

Jin Xi sincerely admired: "This kind of life of traveling around the world and doing what you love to do is really enviable!" ”

Yingying said: "Alas, it's a pity that we only have envy. It is basically impossible for so-called ladies like us to be free and happy to enjoy the mountains and rivers. ”

Jin Xi said: "Okay, you don't want to be in the blessing and don't know the blessing, what is there to complain about?" Is. ”

In the interval between the two talking, Xiao Qianyu said: "This auction adopts the bidding system, and every two affordable calligraphy and paintings will be auctioned out before a high-priced calligraphy and painting is auctioned, which is a system implemented to protect the maintenance funds of the pavilion's calligraphy and paintings." I hope you can understand. ”

Jin Xi whispered to Yingying in the audience: "This auction house is really good at doing business, so if no one buys ordinary calligraphy and paintings, even if you want to buy high-priced fine calligraphy and paintings, you can only buy low-priced ones before you can auction the next one. ”

Yingying said: "Yes, but I will definitely buy a defective product, and I will consider it as a contribution to the Ink Dyeing Pavilion." ”

Master Xiao coughed: "In addition, the gold and silver obtained from the auction of Jiweixuan will be used for the funds of the next event." Okay, now let's start the auction! By the time Xiao Qianyu spoke, the first work had already been pushed out.

Master Xiao said: "This is our first work today, "Ten Horses", the starting price is 1,000 taels of silver. ”

Jin Xi began to observe the painting carefully, and said to Yingying: "Although this painting looks very beautiful, it is all a picture of a horse resting and grazing under a tree by the lake, and it lacks the sassy and heroic posture that should be in a horse painting." So it is estimated that the price should not be too high. ”

Yingying said: "This painting is not suitable for me, although it is cheap, but forget it." ”

"It's true that this painting doesn't look like the style you would hang in a room. ”

In the time between the two talking, this ordinary item had been auctioned off for two thousand taels.

Master Xiao said as he brought out the next painting: "The next painting is called "Lady Sex Picture", and the starting price is three thousand taels of silver. ”

Although the price of this painting is not high, but it is very good-looking, the ladies in the picture seem to come to life, lifelike on the paper, some of them are talking in groups of three or two, and some are freshening up, ready to clean before the sun rises, tidying up, so as to help their respective masters to dress up and change clothes, serve tea and water, the ladies on the painting are plump, although the clothes are plain, but there are beautiful embroidery patterns.

Jin Xi said: "This painting is only a lascivious old man will be particularly fond of, there are so many sons on the scene, it is not good to shoot 10,000 taels, because anyone who has a little brain understands that although the content of this painting looks good, it is not realistic, because how can there be a family like them who are so heartless and smiling and ready to get up early?" Only those frivolous people who fantasize about having thousands of beautiful women will buy it. ”

Jin Xi said Yingying was stunned for a moment, and Jin Xi said again: "And you look at the people in the painting, you look at the figures of our Hongyu and Wanjun, where is such a fat and strong woman to be a maid?" ”

Hongyu and Wanjun stood behind and couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hehe, Miss is right. ”

Yingying's eyes widened and said, "It's really fake......"

Before Yingying's words fell, someone shouted the price: "20,000 taels, I'll see who will rob me!" ”
