Chapter 234: A Buyer from the Southern Jin Dynasty

Chu Youxian was shaking his fan proudly, and he was honored.-The people in the stone pavilion were also admiring and sighing, especially those Tang people, who were also born with a sense of honor. There is no such young calligrapher in the world, there is humanity for thousands of years, when the Ning family is the head of the calligrapher, there is a humane flower blossom post as the first line of books, and there is a humane chicken soup post worthy of the reputation of the first cursive script.

Listening to these discussions, Ning Que felt uncomfortable, he was indeed a very thick-skinned person, and he had always been very confident in his calligraphy, but calligraphy was really his greatest favorite, and he knew that he was not worthy of such exaggerated evaluations, so he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

He knew that his handwriting was good, and it could even be said to be very good, and it was definitely a super-first-class level in today's world, but if it wasn't for the coincidence, the young man chatted about idiocy, and wrote the five characters of the flower blooming on the other side of the sky in the imperial study, so that the emperor was fanatical and loved, and then there was a master Yan Se and the academy, even if his calligraphy would be appreciated by the bright-eyed calligrapher, where would he have today's status.

Thinking about the spring rain in Chang'an City, the bookmarks hanging on the wall of the old pen Zhai were cold-eyed, and there were no guests for several days, only holding an umbrella to the small tree, standing outside the threshold and smiling, he knew very well that the so-called fame was just an attached thing most of the time, just like the makeup powder on a woman's face.

However, no matter how sober Ning Que is, how calm he is after introspection, after the dignitaries and nobles in the pavilion of Yishi Ju were provoked to discuss and praise by the seller Zhong Li with a few simple words, it was difficult to remain sober and calm.

Listening to the increasing amount of money, Ning Que quickly calculated how much he could get, and found that as long as the last chicken soup paste was not smashed in his hand, then he should be able to meet his needs, and he couldn't help but show a smile on his face, looking forward to a big deal from the prince later.

As long as his reputation can earn silver taels, and earn enough silver taels, he doesn't bother to pay attention to how vain this reputation is, and the so-called shame and anxiety are even more instantaneous.

Qi Youxian quietly glanced at the expression on his face, and always felt that his smile was a little weird, so he couldn't help but be slightly cold, and asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do?"

He turned his heart sideways, and said in a trembling voice: "I brought 50,000 taels of silver today......

Ning Que was taken aback, looked at him and asked, "Fifty thousand taels, what are you doing with all this silver?"

Skirt Yuxian said, "This is what my father gave me. ”

Yu Que became more and more surprised, and said, "Your father is really going to buy it?" Don't, I'll write a few random pictures for him, and he can just give him a few thousand taels of silver." ”

Skirt Youxian thought he was polite, and said with a bitter face: "I later learned that in order for me to enter the academy, my family actually sold half of the family property, and now my family really can't get more silver." ”

Ning Que said angrily: "How can there be a calligraphy in the world that can be sold for 100,000 taels of silver? No matter how good the ink is, it is not melted with gold, and no matter how good the Huangzhou bud paper is, it is not kneaded into jade, and the most famous night book preface of Wang Shusheng back then was only sold for 8,000 taels of silver, you and I are a god?"

At this time, he naturally didn't know that Zhong Li, the famous seller standing on the platform of the building, had the strongest budget for the chicken soup post to be a full 30,000 taels of silver.

The red-sleeved man slowly walked onto the platform with the agarwood case, the woman's face was beautiful to the extreme, making people forget the vulgar, walking like a lake and the wind blowing the willows, but everyone's eyes in the pavilion did not stop at her at all, but fell on the note paper between the wooden cases.

Of course, that note was well pretended by those appraisal masters in Yishi Curie, which was not exaggerated, and added a lot of wonderful feelings, but the note is a note after all, but in the eyes of people, this note is no longer a note, but a huge amount of silver ticket or a very small piece of country.

The Qingwan man obviously felt that no one in Yishi Curie paid attention to her, just looking at the book she was holding, but she did not have the slightest look of annoyance, nor did she look gloomy, but raised her chin slightly, compared with the previous Qingli and gentle appearance, she actually looked extremely proud.

Because the entire Chang'an City knows the relationship between Ning Que and the Red Sleeve Move. This legendary calligraphy was written by Ning Que after drinking in the red sleeves.

She is a girl with red sleeves, and of course she has reason to be proud.

There was silence in the pavilion, except for the distant sound of the lake wind disturbing the willows.

Then there were a few faint gasps that were slightly heavy.

Everyone's eyes were on the slip on the wooden table.

Everyone knows the origin and reputation of this chicken soup post, as well as the legendary story related to it, they knew in advance that the last post of the old pen zhai seven posts in this auction is the chicken soup post, but at this moment finally looking at the real chicken soup post, the people in the building still can't hide their shock.

The silence continued, and compared to the fierce bidding scene during the auction of the previous six books, the silence at this time seemed extremely eerie, as if everyone was waiting for something.

The seller, Zhongli, stood on the stage, his face was calm, he didn't say a word, he didn't introduce the chicken soup post, nor did he ask about the intentions of the previous high rollers, and let the silence continue to ferment, not worrying about the cold scene at all.

Ning Que had never seen such a scene, and he was a little worried.

He was worried that the cold time was too long, he was worried that the chicken soup stickers would not be sold at a high price, and he knew that he had paid a lot of price to make up for the injured feelings of Scholar Wang.

At this time, Qi Youxian had vaguely guessed Ning Que's intention, and also guessed that the so-called theft of the old pen was purely a rumor, and asked in a low voice: "Do you want me to try to call a price first?"

Ning Que thought for a while and said, "Wait a little longer, if others don't say it, the steward of the prince's mansion will definitely make a price." ”

He thought about something, frowned and said, "I'm just worried about whether His Majesty knows about this matter, and the palace has greeted the outside, so no one dares to be open." ”

Straw Youxian said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, I heard Jin Wucai say in the academy yesterday that His Majesty did mention today's auction after the court meeting, saying that it was a theft, and he wanted the court to care about the situation, but he was accused by Mr. Wang." ”

Ning Que knew that there was still this story, and couldn't help but be happy: "Your Majesty wants to find a way to sneak my things into the palace, and I don't want to think about whether the ministers are happy or not." ”

Pray by Xian: "Yes, and I heard that the old bachelor Wang and the old sacrificial wine were in trouble at the same time, and finally forced His Majesty to promise not to use the inner library to buy books and posters. ”

Hearing this, Ning Que was even more pleased.

Skirt Youxian said again: "But I heard that the prince's mansion has spoken, whoever dares to grab the chicken soup post is to get along with the prince, at this time the venue is so quiet, there is no one to open up, I think it is because of this reason." ”

Hearing this, Ning Que was furious, and said angrily: "This old horseman, I have already given him so many things, and he actually gave me this hand! Later, if no one bids after his housekeeper makes a bid, you can carry it up for me!"

A voice finally sounded in the pavilion of Yishi House, which had been quiet for a long time.

The voice came from the best bamboo pavilion on the east side of the third floor, and everyone knew that in that bamboo pavilion sat the chief steward of the royal scholar's mansion.

The voice of the chief steward was very calm, but the price shouted was very shocking.

"Ten thousand taels. ”

The building is full of shock, and then the whole building is quiet.

Although everyone vaguely guessed that this chicken soup post would definitely fetch a shocking price today, no one thought that just the first bid had already exceeded the final transaction price of Wang Shu's holy night book preface that year, setting a new record for the auction of book stickers.

Ning Que leaned forward slightly, listening to the voice, he suddenly relaxed, leaned back in his chair, and thought to himself that the old man Wang was kind, even if no one bid with him anymore, the amount of silver in his hand was probably enough.

Scholar Wang is a veteran of the three dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, and he does not worship a seat when he enters the court, even if Prince Li Peiyan sees his old man, he has to avoid saluting, such a big man blew the wind in advance, and now he is very sincere in shouting such a high price, the building is suddenly quiet, and no one seems to want to bid with him.

Ning Que also thought so, and then he thought about whether to ask Qi Youxian to raise the price of the chicken soup post again, even if he didn't mention too much, it would be a good thing to have two or three thousand taels of silver more.

Zhongli on the inner stage of the pavilion looked at the attic on the third floor with a calm smile, and repeated the quotation of the Bachelor's Mansion, looking at his expression, it seemed that only he confirmed that this was definitely not the final price. Zhongli seemed to be waiting for something.

Sure enough, just when everyone thought that this book auction was coming to an end and was about to end, a voice sounded in a certain attic on the third floor of the first stone house.

"Fifteen thousand taels. ”

The building is full of surprise, and then the building is quiet again.

Pray for a little fever nervously, kept fanning the wind, lifted the curtain and walked out of the pavilion, wanting to see clearly who the person who dared to bid with the prince was sacred.

Ning Que's mood became better and better.

Although Yishiju has the responsibility to protect the identity and ** of the bidders, and there is a curtain of yarn and bamboo bones in front of the pavilion, covering the movement in the pavilion, but this is Chang'an City after all, and there are only so many people who can take out so much silver and have the identity to enter Yishiju, and after a while, the identity of the bidder in the West Pavilion on the third floor was inquired about, and it immediately caused a lot of discussion in the building.

"It is a Southern Jin Dynasty imperial merchant who came to Chang'an to buy. ”

Skirt Yu-hyun panted and walked back to the room, wiping her sweat as she reported what she had just heard.

"It's actually a Southern Jin Dynasty person?"

Ning Que was a little surprised, Ying said that his calligraphy has enjoyed prestige in the world, but the Southern Jin Dynasty has always been hostile to the Tang Dynasty, and the Southern Jin Dynasty people must have disdained their own calligraphy as a Tang Dynasty, how could they choose this occasion to buy their own calligraphy, you must know that if this is increasing the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.

Qi Youxian said: "I heard that the Southern Jin Dynasty Emperor Shang is the crown prince. ”

Ning Que was even more surprised, and after thinking for a while, he hesitated and asked, "The prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty is not a man, right?"

(I'm going to walk the dog first, the third chapter is estimated to come out later, the dog seems to have some problems with his eyes, I may take it to the doctor tomorrow, and I'll report it to everyone first.) (To be continued)
