Zhu Donglai hurriedly said: "Brother Yi, help me find a way." ”

Yi Shaotian sighed: "It's not that there is no way, it's just that I need to build a Xuantie pen." ”

Zhu Donglai was surprised: "What is not lacking in our house is a pen, but this Xuantie pen is really not? Could it be that Brother Yi's literary and Taoist spirit has been raised to a new level?"

Yi Shaotian said: "How many silver taels do you still have on Brother Zhu?"

Zhu Donglai said: "Brother, I have already been clean and slippery. ”

Yi Shaotian said: "Bring it!"

Zhu Donglai was surprised: "What are ......you taking?" Don't ...... Don't, it's only three hundred taels, don't take them all. ”

Yi Shaotian grabbed Zhu Donglai's right foot, took out three silver tickets from the sole of his shoe, covered his nose and scolded: "It stinks, it wouldn't be better if you hide it in the seam of your clothes next time." ”

Zhu Donglai said with a sad face: "Brother Yi, you have to leave some for me." ”

Yi Shaotian's eyes rolled, and he whispered: "Far water can't save the near fire, you ...... like this"

I wish Donglai a great joy when he heard this.

After a while, the door of Zhu's mansion opened, and the family came out solemnly with a few picture scrolls.

Zhu Donglai stepped out with a calm expression, and said in a loud voice: "Quiet, everyone quiet, do I Zhu Donglai seem to be a person who does not repay his debts?" It's just that my money has been a little tight recently, so let me auction these peerless god paintings, and I will definitely pay back the silver taels owed to you in the afternoon. ”

A thick-eyebrow thug shook the wooden stick in his hand and scolded: "I, your calligraphy and painting can be worth a few dollars, and the 20,000 taels of silver you owe to our gambling house will be repaid soon, otherwise it will make you feel more pain...... , no, it's a painful shout......"

Zhu Donglai's face changed, he took a step back, and said with a little emptiness: "Twenty thousand taels, this is nothing, I now have a few Yi Shaotian's calligraphy and paintings in my hand, which are worth a fortune, and I only need to sell two to pay off the debt." ”

"Yi Shaotian's calligraphy and painting, how can it be in your hands?"

"No matter how valuable Yi Shaotian's calligraphy and paintings are, two pieces are not worth 50,000 silver?

"That's it. ”

"I wish you the fat man, you pay back the money quickly, what are you doing with so much nonsense. And the people were going to rush up and beat them.

Suddenly, a rich boy with a hat on his head and a folding fan to cover his face squeezed into the crowd, and asked Zhu Donglai with a bright voice, "Is it really Yi Shaotian's painting?" ”

Zhu Donglai said: "Brother Tai, don't worry, these are Yi Shaotian's real works, in this way, I will hold an auction on the spot, what about the one with the highest price?"

The family moved a big table, Zhu Donglai stepped up in style, and solemnly opened a picture of Yi Shaotian's hundred birds with both hands, and suddenly a glow came out, only to see a man and a woman riding a white horse in the painting, stepping on the long road of flowers, all kinds of birds happily surrounded them, and the color was pure and the painting style was unique.

Looking closely at the woman in the painting, I saw that she was dressed in a long dress woven of green leaves and flowers, her face was shy, as if a fairy who did not eat the fireworks of the world felt the breath of life of the earth, a thrush stopped in the palm of her hand, and a lark stopped on her shoulder, her smile was so sweet, as brilliant as a peony in full bloom, and as stunning as a phoenix bathing in fire.

Everyone was attracted by this painting, and even Zhu Donglai was amazed, Yi Shaotian's painting was really lifelike and shocking, and it was breathtaking.

I don't know who let out a soft whistle, and then I saw several sparrows, flowers and birds chirping happily from all directions, and they stopped on the painting, unwilling to leave for a long time, which was very shocking.

Someone exclaimed, "This ...... It's a work of God. ”

Under the shouts of the Zhufu family and the exclamation of the audience, the streets were already crowded, and many owners of painting workshops and calligraphy and painting shops also rushed to come.

In the midst of the crowd's bidding, the man wearing the hat had raised the price of the painting to 15,000 taels, and there were very few who could continue to shout.

Zhu Donglai couldn't hide his joy, and shouted loudly: "Is there anything higher than this son's bid?"

A richly dressed man moved his mouth, and finally said, "I'll give 17,000 taels." ”

Everyone talked about it, and the young man wearing the hat said: "It's really a masterpiece, even the birds can't tell whether it's true or false, it seems that there is a picture in the world, I am bound to win, I will pay 20,000 taels." ”

Everyone's eyes looked at him again, only to see him covering his face with a paper fan, only revealing his cunning eyes, and they couldn't recognize who he was.

"How are we going to do business if we continue like this. A studio owner scolded in a low voice.

Another oily and powdery painting shop owner was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I have a few calligraphy and paintings of Yi Shaotian when he was young, my mother is right, now I am really going to make a fortune." ”

A young man in a blue cloth was surprised: "Ouch, boss, what does this have to do with your mother?"

The owner of the painting shop whispered: "Hehe, my mother said that I will definitely be rich and wealthy before I turn fifty and become the richest businessman in Yuzhou City." ”

My father also said that I would be a useful person before I was twenty years old, but I am still working for you......

The owner of the painting shop scolded: "Can you listen carefully to the auction price, your father is right, you are a useful person now, I still need you to run errands for me." ”

Those who collected debts were also happy to see it, and they helped to shout vigorously, and they hoped that Zhu Donglai would pay off the silver taels.

"Who is this son?

"Look at the fan in his hand, there is a big Zhou character written on it, could it be Zhou Chenghai, a talented man from Shizhou who came to Yuzhou to find the fourth prince to kick the hall?"

"It should be him, that's right, Zhou Chenghai is the first talent in Shizhou, he paid a high price to buy Yi Shaotian's paintings, and he must take them back for research and research. ”

"It is also possible to take it back and learn from it, which is called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and winning all battles. ”

"Is it really him? We finally hyped up the price of his paintings, so how can we sell his paintings in the future? Hey!"

Zhu Donglai saw that everyone was discussing, there were joys and worries, and he admired Yi Shaotian's self-selling and boasting ideas more in his heart, his face flushed with excitement, and he laughed: "Congratulations, congratulations to Zhou Dacai for taking Yi Shaotian's picture of a hundred birds." ”

At this moment, two more people suddenly squeezed into the crowd, and one of them, a pretty boy with a gold belt on his head, said loudly: "Wait, I want this painting." ”

Another little scholar beside him whispered, "Little ...... Oh, Childe, what are you going to do? It's too expensive, isn't it?"

Everyone looked at it and was suddenly surprised, this pretty boy's face was as white as jade, giving people a fresh and refined feeling, but he spoke a little coquettishly.

Zhu Donglai said happily: "This son, how much are you going to bid?"

The pretty boy cleared his throat and said, "I'll pay 25,000 taels." ”

The young man in the hat was surprised in his heart: "This is not the woman who made trouble in the audience in the morning......?

He was about to knock her unconscious, when he heard the scholar next to her whisper, "Miss, how can we have so many silver taels on us?"

Behind her, a man suddenly smiled and said, "Cousin, since you like it, I'll buy it and give it to you." ”

The pretty boy's face suddenly turned pale, and he said angrily: "Li Shaobai, why are you still ghosted?"

Li Shaobai hurriedly said: "Cousin, your father asked me to watch you, how can I ignore it, you must know that there are many bad people in this Yuzhou City." ”

"Hmph, who dares to bully me in Yuzhou City, I'm going to decide this painting, don't make trouble. ”

"Cousin, I know you like Yi Shaotian's paintings, but you shouldn't pay such a high price?"

The pretty boy said unhappily: "This painting is so expressive, unparalleled in the world, even the birds are reluctant to leave, it is a priceless treasure, I will decide today." ”

He then said in a loud voice: "Hey, I wish the master, I will give 25,000 taels, did you hear?"

The boy immediately retreated quietly.

Zhu Donglai listened to the quarrel in the audience, for fear of ruining the good thing, and hurriedly said: "If no one offers a higher price, this painting will belong to this pretty boy." ”

Li Shaobai said coldly: "Slow, I'll give 30,000 taels, Zhu Donglai, don't make trouble." ”

Zhu Donglai broke out in a cold sweat, and secretly said in his heart that it was Li Shaobai, which was not very good now, but he said: "Ouch, it turned out to be Li Gongzi of Taibai Building, I will return the money to you after the auction." In the same door, please also invite a high-ranking nobleman. ”

Li Shaobai said in a loud voice: "I will pay 30,000 taels, if you don't sell it to me? ”

Zhu Donglai glanced at him, but his heart blossomed, and he said reluctantly: "Okay, is there a higher bid? If not, this painting will belong to Li Gongzi." ”

Li Shaobai is the son of the richest man in Yuzhou, his family is rich, and good things will come to pass, and Zhu Donglai's heart has already danced.

And the pretty boy is Li Shaobai's cousin Chu Tianxiang, her face turned red and white, staring at Li Shaobai and speechless: "You ......"

Li Shaobai said with a smile: "Cousin, as long as you like it, I will give it to you, what else do you like? My cousin bought it for you." ”

Chu Tianxiang stomped his feet and said, "Don't think that you are great if you are rich. ”

Unexpectedly, the first painting was auctioned for 30,000 taels, and Zhu Donglai unfolded the second painting.

Li Shaobai shouted: "I want as many Yi Shaotian's paintings as you have at the bottom." ”

Zhu Donglai opened his mouth wide, raised two fingers, and then raised another finger, and said in a slurred voice: "Three...... Three is three!"

Originally, Yi Shaotian told him to auction two of them, but when he saw the money, how could he stand the temptation, and he couldn't sell all the paintings in his hand, he thought about making so much money at once, his face was happy, and he was about to fall off.

Soon the 90,000 taels of silver tickets arrived.

Chu Tianxiang pulled Yahuan and turned around and left.

Li Shaobai hurriedly led someone to follow closely, blocked in front of her like the wind, and ordered someone to present the painting, Chu Tianxiang took the scroll with her maid Xiaoyue, and then stood quietly and looked at Miss.

Chu Tianxiang said coldly: "Li Shaobai, don't follow me, I will return the money to you." ”

Li Shaobai smiled, instantly changed from a barricade tiger to a little sheep, lowered his head and said softly: "Cousin, this is what I gave you, you know ......"

"Less...... Master. ”

Li Shaobai said unhappily: "Don't interrupt me. ”

The entourage behind Li Shaobai said in a slurring voice: "Tianxiang...... Miss...... Long gone. ”
