Due to a heavy snowfall, it took more than ten days to drive the road before Hua Rujin and Ning Wang's convoy arrived in Jiangxia County, the provincial capital.

As soon as I entered the city, I heard that the auction house was auctioning calligraphy and paintings.

Zhu Zhiye and Wu Muning heard that there were calligraphy and paintings of the evil god of swords and pens in the things auctioned by the auction house, and they immediately became interested, and they didn't care to go to the mansion of the inspection envoy to see Ye Chengwei first, so they quickly turned the horse's head and said to Hua Rujin:

"It's been several years since I've seen a masterpiece of the Evil God of Swords and Pens, but you can't let others snatch it, Xiaohua'er, you go to the auction house with this king first, and then go to see Ye Chengwei."

The last time I listened to Wu Muning's words, he now doesn't care if Hua Rujin is called a silly girl, but changes his name to Xiaohuaer, although Hua Rujin doesn't like him to call himself like this, but it is much better than calling a silly girl, so he has to obey him.

is separated from Ye Chengwei for many days, and she is concerned about the case of Mougin's cousin, so she is looking forward to seeing Ye Chengwei earlier, and she doesn't want to toss with him again.

But when she heard the name of the evil god of swords and pens, she couldn't help but ignite her desire in her heart.

When she was in Jiangling City, when the old lady of the Shu family had her birthday, Ye Chengwei sent a calligraphy to the Tao family as a birthday gift, and everyone regarded the calligraphy and painting of the evil god of the sword and pen as a treasure, and she couldn't help but go and see it.

couldn't stand the warm invitation of King Ning and Wu Muning, so she had to go to the auction house with the two of them first.

When I arrived at the auction house, it was afternoon, and it was supposed to be time for dinner, but the lobby was crowded with people and bustling.

The three of them squeezed in together, and they heard the guy from the auction house shouting loudly: "The next thing to be auctioned is the last calligraphy and the only ink and blue painting of the sword and pen evil god." ”

Hearing that it was the last piece of calligraphy, King Ning couldn't wait to ask others: "How many pieces of calligraphy have been auctioned off by the evil god of swords and pens?" ”

The man sighed lamentingly: "I have already auctioned two pieces, both of which were sold for 10,000 taels of silver, and I am afraid that the rest of the calligraphy and the painting will not be able to be taken without tens of thousands of taels of silver." ”

"It's too late."

Zhu Zhiye and Wu Muning sighed at the same time.

Afraid of missing the last two authentic paintings, Wu Muning hurriedly urged the auction house shopkeeper: "Hurry up and bid, don't delay." ”

Zhu Zhiye was not worried about the silver, but was afraid of buying a fake, and asked unhurriedly: "The past masterpieces of the evil god of the knife and pen all appeared in Jinling, why is the real work of Mr. Daobi also appearing in Jiangxia County now, is it not that someone imitated it?" ”

"Don't worry about this, we have sent someone to check it, it is indeed the work of the evil god of swords and pens, and it is obtained by a gentleman's deceased, just because the family has to sell the true works of the gentleman."

As soon as the shopkeeper's words fell, many people chimed in: "This can't be wrong, and it's so realistic, even if it's imitation, it's not simple." ”

Wu Muning is an avid fan of the evil god of swords and pens, whether it is her calligraphy or paintings, the paper and ink, seals, penmanship, inscriptions, and even colors used are different from others, and even everyone in Beijing can imitate them, so she is not worried about buying fakes.

smiled and said to Zhu Zhiye: "Your Highness is too worried, how can such a big auction house dare to auction fakes, I have seen the authentic works of Mr." ”

Zhu Zhiye immediately dispelled his worries, and hurriedly called: "Shopkeeper, hurry up and make a price." ”

The shopkeeper is also a shrewd person, and the two pieces of calligraphy have been auctioned to 10,000 taels of silver, the so-called rare is expensive, and this last piece of calligraphy is naturally going to be offered a higher price, and he hinted at the little guy.

The little guy glanced at the shopkeeper's fingers, felt weak for a while, and said cautiously: "This last calligraphy is the last calligraphy of the sword and pen evil god before his death, and the starting price is 10,000 taels of silver." ”

Ting An, who was hiding in the dark and watching, heard the little guy say that this was Childe's masterpiece, and almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the depiction of Childe in the horizontal and vertical world was not the same, some people said that he was a hidden master in the previous dynasty, and some people said that he was a white-haired old man who was in love with the landscape, so he didn't care.

It's just that even he didn't expect that he hadn't sold calligraphy and painting for Gongzi for several years, and now there are more and more people who admire Gongzi's calligraphy and painting.

If Childe is willing, he really wants Childe to change careers, which is much more than the money he earns as an official.

The little guy in the store thought that the price offered would make the spectators here dare not accept it, but as soon as he opened his mouth, someone stretched out his finger and shouted: "I will pay 12,000 taels." ”

"I'll give fifteen thousand taels."

"I'll give you sixteen thousand taels."

"I'll give you 20,000 taels."

Hearing someone shouting 20,000 taels, the hall was silent for a moment.

Hua Rujin glanced at the person who made the bid, wearing mink and velvet, I am afraid that he is extremely rich.

She only envies the preferences of these rich people, but she doesn't dare to hope for them.

Spending 20,000 taels of silver to buy a spell is something that only a wronged boss can do.

"Ahem, if you find a man with the ability to be a husband like the evil god of swords and pens, then you will have to make a fortune in this life, you don't have to do anything, just let him make a few more paintings and write a few calligraphy to live a peaceful and stable life."

Hua Rujin silently muttered to herself, but I heard rumors that the life experience of the evil god of the sword and pen is extremely secret, even if it is not a person from the previous dynasty, it is also the current old man, if you really see this person, I am afraid that I will lose interest.

Listening to the bidding everywhere, she was in high spirits, and she only watched when there was a lively scene, her eyes turned to Wu Muning and King Ning, and she saw Wu Muning directly draw a few fingers: "I'll give 30,000 taels." ”

"Thirty thousand taels?"

Hua Rujin glanced at Wu Muning enviously, and really regretted that she didn't pit her with more money at the beginning.

Zhu Zhiye saw that there was silence everywhere, and he also wanted to follow the bidding, but was stopped by Wu Muning: "Your Highness, our family loves Mr. Daobi's calligraphy the most, Your Highness might as well give me this calligraphy." ”

Zhu Zhiye first turned his head to look at Hua Rujin and asked, "Little Hua'er, there are only the last two of Mr.'s authentic works left, do you have any favorites?" ”

Hua Rujin didn't understand what he meant, but thinking that he had become more and more attentive to himself recently, he was afraid that he was buying it for himself, so he shook his head and said: "How do I understand this, wouldn't it be a tyrannical thing to buy it, so I won't compete with the two." ”

But I still couldn't help but feel a pain in my heart.

Even if you don't appreciate it, staying at home will only become more and more valuable.

It's just that Wu Muning regards herself as a friend, where can she bear to take people's love again.

After getting her words, Zhu Zhiye bowed his head to Wu Muning: "Since this is the case, then I won't compete with you for this painting, but you are not allowed to compete with me for the next painting Wu Garlic." ”

"Okay, if Your Highness gets it, just show me a few days."

Wu Muning replied happily.

The little guy on the field called several times in a row, and when he saw that no one was bidding any more, he settled the last piece of calligraphy and sold it to Wu Muning at a high price of 30,000 taels of silver.

In the envious and jealous eyes of everyone, Wu Muning took the calligraphy, returned to the seat, and several people watched together.

Hua Rujin calmly glanced at the calligraphy, the handwriting was indeed very good-looking, but I always felt a little familiar.

A piece of calligraphy by the evil god of the sword and pen was auctioned for 30,000 taels of silver, and I really don't know how many taels of silver it will cost to win a painting.

Since she didn't have the strength to collect these authentic works, she just wanted to hold her mind and see which of the unjust leaders dared to compete with King Ning next.
