Chapter 247
The four words "Authentic Writings" are not a joke.
Who present doesn't know the book saint Wang Xizhi?
Don't say it's genuine, even if it's a copy or rubbing, if it can be handed down to the present, it's worth a lot.
So when they saw these four words, many people had already begun to discuss it, wanting to know what the authentic handwriting of the book saint that the Li family took out this time was like?
Although there is more than one original book of the saints, the other books are displayed in the museum, and they are not just casually obtained.
To put it bluntly, even if you have money, it is impossible to buy it, especially for calligraphers, if you can have a pair of authentic calligraphy, even if he dies now, he is willing!
However, there is really no shortage of calligraphy masters and calligraphy enthusiasts among the wealthy families, so when they get the brochure, they can't help but stand up, eager to see the true works of calligraphy.
Li Yuan had expected this, and before he got off the stage, he asked the staff to send a tray, and everyone's eyes were immediately attracted to it.
Li Yuan coughed lightly, "Everyone, please be quiet, what you just brought up is the authentic book saint that everyone cares about." Without further ado, I'll show it to you now. ”
Soon, an old man came up, first cleaned his hands in front of everyone, dried them with a white towel, and took out a pair of sterilized rubber gloves and put them on, and then carefully opened the scroll on the tray, and soon a picture of words appeared on the huge curtain.
Many of the people present had studied calligraphy, and they were obviously stunned for a moment after seeing the words projected on the screen, and then stared at it carefully for more than ten seconds, revealing an incredible expression.
"This ...... This can't be a theory of happiness, right? ”
"It seems to be true! It doesn't seem like it's a copy or a rubbing, but whether it's the book or not is the real work of the saint has to be carefully studied. ”
"Doesn't it mean that the theory of Le Yi has long been lost? Why is it here? ”
"Don't you know that there are two ways of saying it? One said that it was lost, and another said that it was collected by Tang Taizong, and it has never been circulated since. I just don't know if it's true or not. ”
"It must be true, right? The Li family would not joke about this kind of thing. ”
"Maybe, someone has to come and identify it."
Everyone had different opinions, and no one had a definite statement, but Li Yuan on the stage was not panicked at all, because before the auction began, he had found someone to do an appraisal.
The old man who came up just now is the most prestigious calligrapher in Xizhou, with a unique vision, and even he can't find any flaws in this calligraphy.
In addition, Li Yuan also found a professional institution to screen and test, and determined that this character has a history of more than 1,000 years now, and it also coincides with the era of the sage, so it can basically be concluded that this is the true work of the sage, and it is the long-lost theory of Le Yi.
As for why Lu Xuan has this thing, it is not for Li Yuan to ask.
In order not to make himself famous, Lu Xuan brought back the ten auction items he brought back this time were all auctioned in the name of the Li family, and people would only think that the Li family had an extremely terrifying heritage.
Li Yi also deliberately explained to Li Yuan, not allowed to ask about the source of these things, let alone have any curiosity about Lu Xuan.
It wasn't until the voices of the people below were quieter that the old man began to introduce the preciousness of the Le Yi Theory to everyone.
Even people who are not interested in calligraphy know how much the authentic calligraphy is worth, let alone something that is said to have been lost.
The meaning of something that is lost and what is placed in a museum is completely different.
It is also a genuine handiwork of calligraphy, placed in the museum, where almost all calligraphy lovers and calligraphy can observe and study and exchange experiences with each other; However, the sudden appearance of a "lost" calligraphy that has never appeared in the public eye will inevitably cause a sensation in the calligraphy world!
So without waiting for the old man to finish his introduction, everyone in the audience was eager to try it, wanting to take down this precious calligraphy.
Li Yuan saw the anxiety in everyone's hearts, and after the old man finished introducing him, he directly entered the auction link.
"The first auction item, the book saint's true work Le Yi theory, our Li family came forward to guarantee, if it is found to be fake, our Li family is fully responsible! The starting price is 300 million, and each increase shall not be less than 10 million, auction, start! ”
"I'll give 300 million!!"
300 million is already sky-high, 99% of people can't make so much money even if they work hard all their lives and don't eat, but in the eyes of those wealthy calligraphers, 300 million is nothing at all, even if the price doubles, they are willing to buy it.
"Five hundred million!"
"550 million!!"
"Six hundred million!"
……
In just a few rounds of bidding, the price of the authentic works of the calligraphy saint soared to 600 million, which shocked those calligraphy lovers and shook their heads again and again.
600 million is not a small amount, even if it is a wealthy family, it may not be able to take out so much money casually, so after this price was shouted, many wealthy calligraphers began to hesitate.
The true works of the Shusheng are not hard currency, and it is already rare to be able to sell them for 600 million, and this is because the Le Yi Theory has been lost for thousands of years and has brought more mystery, so when it first appeared, some people were willing to pay for this mystery.
But as long as time passes, this mystery disappears, and it is not so easy to change hands at the original price.
After all, the number of wealthy calligraphers is not much, and the energy of 600 million is definitely not to be underestimated.
But at this time, Lin Wanwan stood up and bid again.
"Seven hundred million!"
Although neither the Lu Group nor the Li family said that these ten auction items were taken out by Lu Xuan, how could Lin Jia, as Lu Xuan's former servant, not know the details of Li Yi?
Li Yi was a cook at the beginning, and their Li family has not produced a few cultural people for so many years, how can they have authentic works of calligraphy?
If it was just an ordinary book saint's true handwriting, it was still a Le Yi theory that had been lost for thousands of years, so Lin Jia immediately knew that this Le Yi theory must have been taken out by Lu Xuan.
The purpose of the auction has been very clear, that is, to give some compensation to those who have been persecuted by the Holy Sect, naturally the higher the auction price, the better, so Lin Jia asked Lin Wanwan to bid.
In addition, he didn't worry that Lu Xuan would say anything about him, because he was Lu Xuan's bookkeeper, and he belonged to the most educated of the four major servants, and he had a lot of research on calligraphy.
The head of one of the four major families in China likes calligraphy, and he bought the calligraphy at a sky-high price, which is not too much, right?
