Chapter Seventy-Three: Charity Auction (2)
......
In the end, Wang Xizhi's first work "Changfeng Post" was bought back by Zhu Yunren himself at a price of 320,000 yuan, and it seems that he is really reluctant to write this character.
The auction went smoothly, and none of the more than 30 paintings and calligraphy were unsold, and it seems that the rich people invited by Zhu Yunren are quite face-saving. Of course, he himself bought the most, and spent more than one million to photograph five works, including two Wang Xizhi's characters and a painting by Wu Daozi. The second is Qian Wanyou, who bought three works, one each by Wang Xizhi and Wu Daozi.
"Next, I would like to invite the finale of this auction!" the auctioneer excitedly said, "This work is still in the private collection of Mr. Zhu Yunren. From the hand of Master Wu Daozi's "Parking and Sitting in Love Fenglin Night". Far up the cold mountain stone path slope, Baiyunsheng has a home. Parking sits in love with the maple forest in the evening, and the frost leaves are red in February. Such beautiful verses, such beautiful paintings, and such beautiful artistic conceptions no longer need me to describe them. Please bid, the reserve price is 200,000 yuan, and the price increase is not less than 5,000 each time. ”
"Seven words are enough to stop and sit in love with Fenglin Night, two hundred and fifty thousand!" Guest No. 13 seemed to like this tone very much.
"Two hundred and eighty thousand!" Qian Wanyou also bid.
"300,000!" Zhu Yunren's expression became serious, it seemed that he was determined to win, the works of Wang Xizhi and Wu Daozi, he should have planned to leave a pair of even numbers.
"Three hundred and thirty thousand!" This is the first time to participate in the bidding in front of the No. 13 guest, and it is the baby who has been waiting for the finale.
"500,000!" With a loud offer, a person walked in from the door and said to Zhu Yunren: "Old man Zhu is engaged in such a big battle today, how can I not come to cheer?"
Everyone followed the sound and saw that this uninvited guest was wearing a fur coat, and he looked like he was either rich or expensive, but the smile on his face did not seem very sincere.
"Isn't this He Luming, why is he here?"
This He Luming and Zhu Yunren feel very wrong, and Zhu Yunren may not have invited him. I'll sit and wait and see what happens, and I'll figure out the situation first.
"It's a guest, please take a seat. Zhu Yunren greeted and asked lukewarmly: "When did Brother He become interested in calligraphy and painting?"
"Vassal elegance, I'm not interested, but I just made a special trip to cheer up. He Luming's words offended all the people in this room, but he didn't seem to care, it seemed that he was a hard stubble.
"I'm polite to my brother, everyone here is very much to give me Zhu someone's face, if it is a special trip to cheer up, then it is not necessary. "It's the first time I've seen me talk to the amiable Zhu Yunren so politely.
"Oh, then it doesn't matter what the show is or not, just when I'm here to make a splash and do good deeds. He Luming cocked Erlang's legs, "I've come so far away, Old Man Zhu shouldn't refuse my kindness." ”
Zhu Yunren smiled slightly, "Since Brother He is also here to do charity, then I naturally can't refuse people thousands of miles away." ”
"That's good. He Luming snorted and shouted to the auctioneer: "I just bid 500,000 yuan, didn't you hear? No one bids again, you hurry up and hit the hammer." ”
The auctioneer bowed apologetically and raised the hammer, "This Mr. He bid 500,000 yuan, does anyone bid higher?"
"600,000!" Zhu Yunren bid.
"One million!" He Luming suddenly increased the price by 400,000, which is not called inevitable, but a hard way to smash people with money. He glanced at Zhu Yunren meaningfully, and then stared at the picture of "Parking and Sitting in Love in the Maple Forest Evening" and exclaimed: "Take a closer look, this painting is quite good-looking, one million is really not expensive." ”
"One million two million!" Zhu Yunren followed and increased the price.
"Two million!" He Luming shook his head and stared at "Parking and Sitting in Love Fenglin Night", as if he was very intoxicated. I don't understand whether he is deliberately raising the bar or showing off his wealth in a high-profile manner.
Zhu Yunren looked at He Luming expressionlessly, and said: "Since Brother He likes this painting so much, then I won't do that senseless battle of will, I will give up." ”
"Huh?" He Luming seemed to wake up from a dream, and asked in surprise: "You won't play? How boring is that! I spent most of the day finally scraping together some money to do charity, and you are tantamount to not giving me a chance." ”
"If you want to do charity, you can donate the money to Tianyiguan. Zhu Yunren replied lightly.
"I don't want to do such a stupid thing to give money to someone for no reason. He Luming pursed his lips, signed a check on the spot and took "Parking and Sitting in Love with Fenglin Evening" in his hand: "However, if you really like this painting, I can give it to you for free." ”
Zhu Yunren flatly refused: "No need, you can take it back and keep it yourself." ”
"Don't you want it......" He Luming unfolded the scroll and glanced upside down a few times, frowned and said, "I suddenly don't want it anymore, what do you say I should do?"
Zhu Yunren said indifferently: "You can do whatever you want with your own things." ”
"Yes, my own stuff, I can do whatever I want. He Luming was a little nervous, and suddenly took out a lighter and lit up "Parking and Loving Maple Forest Evening......
"You!" Zhu Yunren was suddenly furious, "What do you mean?"
He Luming looked directly at the flames that were burning more and more, "I don't mean anything, didn't you say that I can do what I want?" I suddenly felt that this painting was so ugly, it would be better to burn it clean if it was left in the world and dirty my eyes. ”
The yellow flame revealed a faint blue light, quickly devouring Wu Daozi's masterpiece. Zhu Yunren watched the distant mountain path, the fiery red maple leaves, the beautiful poems, paintings, and artistic conceptions turning into a pile of meaningless gray little by little, his eyes seemed to be a little moist, and they seemed to be burning......
The guests present were also a little overwhelmed, but it was hard to say anything, people spent two million to buy a painting to burn and play, and you really can't do anything about him. Qian Wanyou came over and comforted Zhu Yunren a few words, and then said angrily to He Luming: "It's one thing for you to be rich, but that's not how you do it! People are doing it, and the sky is watching!"
"The sky is watching?hahahaha!" He Luming looked up to the sky and laughed, "Then let the sky show me well! Can you see me off a piece of meat?"
"Hmph!" I stood up and snorted heavily, interrupting He Luming's laughter, "In my Tianyi Temple, I burned the painstaking work of my Tianyi Sect Wu Daozi's predecessors in public, is this an insult to my Tianyi Sect?"
"Tianyi Sect?" He Luming looked me up and down, "What are you? What kind of thing is Tianyi Sect? You say that I am insulting you, then it is an insult, what can you do?"
"You don't care what Tianyi Sect is, and I don't care what you are. I walked up to He Luming with my hands behind my back and looked into his eyes coldly, "If you don't kowtow today, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to get out of this door." ”
