Everyone looked in.

The auctioneer said: "Just when the red lotus picture was auctioned, another friend sent a set of twelve jade Buddhas for auction, and this friend intended to come to participate when he posted a treasure hunt post in the Treasure Pavilion, but there were some episodes on the way, which delayed the time, so the treasure was only sent to me now." ”

Chu Luoyi's eyes fell on the auctioneer, frowning slightly, she had instructed Xiao Liuzi before to auction this painting as the finale, but now why did someone send twelve jade Buddhas at this last moment.

"As we all know, jade has an auspicious and peaceful meaning since ancient times, and the Buddha will protect your official fortune and prosperity, the road to wealth is wide open, today, these twelve jade Buddhas will be auctioned separately, different Buddhas are blessed by different things, I hope everyone can have something to gain today." The auctioneer said loudly.

People stopped and went back one after another, and those who had not photographed the treasure before began to be eager to try.

Chu Luoyi retracted his gaze and set his eyes on the hands of Emperor Beiyan in a burst of uproar.

Emperor Beiyan was full of anticipation, and ordered the maid to withdraw all the pastries on the table to another table, and then haded with both hands, and carefully spread out the picture scroll. Guards Lu, Xiao Liuzi and others all gathered around tightly, wanting to see what this beauty who had brought disaster to the country and the people was like.

The picture scroll is spread out little by little, and a stunning woman jumps onto the paper, with some shock, a strong sense of presence is like a volcanic eruption, a mountain flood collapses, and people can't take their eyes off it.

It's just that, unlike in the imagination, the woman in the painting is not the charming and enchanting in the imagination, nor is there the charm of the red lotus.

A rust-colored robe was hunting in the wind like a flag, and three thousand green silk were blown by the wind on the woman's cheeks, stained into dark gold, and the woman looked sideways at the remnant sun in the majestic battlefield.

A pair of beautiful eyes with immortal persistence, but also with a sharp point that points directly to people's hearts, there is a great pride across the sky.

On the woman's cheek, there were three blood marks kissed by the sword, but she couldn't help but not reduce her demeanor at all, but added a carmine color dyed by blood.

The red glow swept across the battlefield, the horses were shrouded in leather, but few people returned, the guards pierced by swords, the scattered armor, the horses cut off from the waist, the flags burned by the flames of war, everything, desolate and beautiful.

Slowly moving down, the woman's white and tender feet, without shoes and socks, were stained with mud and blood, and the jade porcelain-like color formed a strong contrast with the blood-soaked purple red earth.

Emperor Beiyan's gaze couldn't help but be a little stupid, and he couldn't help but want to brush away the green silk that blocked the cheeks for the woman, but it was in vain.

Xiao Liuzi was also a little surprised, although this painting was made by the master, he had never had a chance to see it.

I thought it was such a charming and charming weak beauty, but I didn't want it to be a rouge who walked through a river of blood and walked all over the corpses.

"It's really different from ordinary women, this kind of demeanor really has the ability to bring disaster to the country and the people."

Emperor Beiyan slowly came back to his senses, but his eyes never left the paintings on the table.

Looking closely, I found that the woman's wrists and ankles were carrying colorful bells, as if the wind was blowing, and the sound of Lingling could be heard.

Emperor Beiyan greedily stroked the woman's cheeks, only to feel that the soft and beautiful colors that he loved on weekdays had lost their taste, and those pretended to be charming and bewitching postures looked unpretentious in an instant, and people couldn't have the slightest interest.

Chu Luoyi didn't care what Emperor Beiyan was thinking, but raised his head and set his eyes on the private room opposite.

The guard in front of the window still didn't move, thinking that the people in the private room hadn't left yet.

Chu Qingcheng, could it be you?

Chu Luoyi's heart seemed to fly out, and he couldn't wait to rush over now to see who the people in the private room were.

Emperor Beiyan was still immersed in the painting, and when he looked closely, under the cheeks covered by the green silk, a red lip was actually smiling, and the woman's eyes were like stars and bright moons, which was really a goblin who brought disaster to the country.

Time flies very quickly, and in just a moment, the kung fu of a cup of tea has arrived.

The shopkeeper of the Treasure Pavilion reappeared, a face full of pleats was full of smiles, rubbing his hands and saying to Emperor Beiyan: "This lord, this... It's time for this cup of tea, and according to the rules, I have to take this painting away."

Emperor Beiyan hadn't recovered from the painting yet, and he didn't raise his head and said, "Why did you get to a cup of tea so quickly." ”

"Yes.. Exactly... So, you see, the time has come, isn't it for me..."

Emperor Beiyan waved his hand and said: "This is not good, I spent 500,000 taels of gold, how can I just look at this short moment." ”

The shopkeeper was very embarrassed, and said: "But the owner of this red lotus picture, before the auction, that's what he said, this master, don't be embarrassed."

Emperor Beiyan picked up the folding fan, fanned it, got up and drove back to the table and walked around, but he always prevented the shopkeeper from taking the painting away.

The shopkeeper's face was a little ugly, and Emperor Beiyan flicked his fan: "In this way, you go and invite the owner of this painting, and I am willing to pay another 500,000 taels of gold to buy this painting." ”

"This... This.. It's not in order."

The shopkeeper hesitated, and the aura on Emperor Beiyan's body changed, and he seemed to be a little displeased, but he still said patiently: "If you invite the owner of this painting, I will grant you another thousand taels of benefits, if you don't invite it, you can leave your life here directly." ”

The shopkeeper was frightened into a cold sweat, Chu Luoyi looked at it coldly, the anger of Emperor Beiyan had accumulated to a certain extent, and he sneered in his heart, he was not afraid of the last fire, and he couldn't burn Wang Zhi!

The shopkeeper looked at Emperor Beiyan, who was a masterpiece of Long Wei, and was afraid, so he had to go and invite the owner of the Red Lotus Diagram.

Emperor Beiyan once again set his eyes on this painting, only hating why he was not born in that era and had the opportunity to see the beauty, so that he could only look at her paintings at this moment, leaving regrets.

It didn't take long for the shopkeeper to invite the owner of the red lotus diagram.

It seems that the person looks like a scholar, and he looks ordinary, and there is not much out of the ordinary.

Emperor Beiyan was the first to speak: "I heard that you are the owner of this painting?" ”

The scholar nodded slightly in horror, seeing that Emperor Beiyan didn't dare to speak.

Emperor Beiyan said a little kindly: "I'll give another 500,000 taels of gold, can you sell this painting to me?" ”

A deep shock flashed in the scholar's eyes, but in the end, he shook his head and said, "Don't.. This painting really can't be sold. ”

A touch of disdain also flashed in Guard Lu's eyes, an insatiable guy!

In his opinion, Emperor Beiyan shouldn't have given him so much silver, one million taels of gold, but I'm afraid that the treasury will also be emptied a lot, if you measure it, I don't know how many cities you can buy.

It is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it is better to kill this scholar directly, and it will cost nothing.

"A million." Emperor Beiyan's face was already as dark as ink.

The scholar still stubbornly shook his head and said, "No, no. I really can't.."

'Smack! Emperor Beiyan slapped his palm on the table: "Hmph! To be a man, you have to know how to be sufficient, I... I'm telling you, you can't get a penny now, and if you want to get this painting back, you're going to leave it today! ”

The scholar knelt on the ground at once: "This master.. You really misunderstood, villain.. The villain doesn't mean to be greedy for your money.."

"It's not that the villain doesn't want to sell this painting to the master, but that this painting is not a real red lotus picture, but a red lotus picture that imitates the painting."

"What did you say?" Emperor Beiyan's eyes widened in disbelief.

The scholar trembled and continued: "That's the case, it's not that the villain deliberately deceives, but the villain had a friend who happened to see this red lotus picture by chance, and happened to be good at calligraphy and painting, so he drew it down from memory, and then the villain's friend died, so he transferred this painting to the villain." ”

Emperor Beiyan once again set his eyes on the painting, and only then did he realize that the paper used in the red lotus picture was indeed the more expensive painting paper at present, not all of the previous dynasty. "You are so bold that you dare to deceive the people!"

The scholar was a little aggrieved in his words, and said: "The villain is not intended, the villain is a Xiucai who entered Beijing to catch the exam, and took away all the savings of the family, but he met a gangster on the way, and the villain's coil was entangled and robbed. ”

The scholar paused and continued: "The villain knows that this painting is fake, so he refuses to really auction it, just thinking about the time for a cup of tea, and will not let people invest too much money and earn dozens of taels of silver. ”

Emperor Beiyan looked at him speechless, Chu Luoyi looked at the scholar in front of him, and couldn't help but bow slightly, the person the old eunuch was looking for was still good.

"The lord just auctioned it at a sky-high price of 500,000 taels of gold, and the villain is already guilty, where can he dare to accept the lord's money again." The scholar's words moved Emperor Beiyan slightly.

If this scholar had not told him about this today, he would have been afraid that he would not have discovered that this painting was a fake in ten and a half months, so it seems that he had misunderstood this scholar.

"You get up first, so it seems that I blame you wrong."

Only then did the scholar stand up tremblingly, bowed down and continued: "The 500,000 taels of gold that the master spent before will definitely be returned, if the master really likes this painting, the villain is willing to give it to the master." ”

The scholar's words made it difficult for Emperor Beiyan to take back the previous silver money, so he said: "You can leave the previous silver money, as long as it can benefit my Beiyan, I... What if Master Ben just gave it to you, but then again, is this painting really fake? ”

The scholar was stunned for a while, and after coming back to his senses, he nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes.. It's fake, but don't be too disappointed, my old friend has seen the real work with his own eyes, and the skill of copying is first-class, and he even said that this painting is only two or three points inferior to the real thing. ”

When Emperor Beiyan heard this, he immediately spoke: "Can your old friend tell you, where have you seen the authentic work?" ”
