Chapter 398: Complete the little junior sister?
At first, Zhao Ruxi felt that Xiao Lingyan's method of delivering messages was too backward and too slow. But now she found that there was an advantage, because there was a time difference. If the person who quoted the price wanted to have more value, he had to be better than the current price.
His quotation is much higher, otherwise it would be meaningless even before his quotation is called out. So when everyone calls out the price, they all jump up a little to quote, which is at least several hundred higher than the current quotation.
Two silver coins is as if the silver coins are not money.
However, when it reached 7,000, the quotation speed slowed down, and there were fewer boys running downstairs, but the errand boys in the boxes upstairs were still running happily.
Zhao Ruxi paid attention. Basically, one number was reported on the right side, and after a while, one number was reported on the left side. It seemed that the arenas on both sides were finally closed.
Probably because he was annoyed, in the end someone on your side quoted a high price: "Eight thousand five hundred taels of silver." Suddenly, the price of one thousand taels of silver jumped, and the running boys stopped, obviously.
The quotes reported to them by guests were all lower than this number.
Then the whole place fell silent.
Guan Wentao waited for a while, but when he saw that the errand boy did not come to deliver the message again, he tapped the drum lightly and asked: "Eight thousand five hundred taels of silver, is there anyone else with you?"
There was no movement in the whole place.
"Eight thousand five hundred taels once." Guan Wentao beat the drum and shouted, "If you want to bid, hurry up. I will bid three times. If there is no new price, the deal will be done at eight thousand five hundred taels."
Seeing that no one spoke, he said: "Eight thousand five hundred and two times." His eyes scanned the whole place. As long as he saw someone running, he would stop and wait for someone to quote a new price.
But I don’t know whether it’s because the price is too high and no one is willing to follow the price anymore; or because letting the errand boy enter and leave his box at this time will expose his identity and no one will follow the price anymore.
In the end, the revolving vase was sold for eight thousand five hundred taels of silver.
"Congratulations to guest No. 32 for winning a pastel hollowed-out 'Four Seasons Landscape' heart-turning vase from the previous dynasty. Guest No. 32 is requested to take the silver ticket to the auction house for transaction before noon tomorrow morning."
Guan Wentao paused for a moment: "I think everyone has read the auction rules attached to the invitation before coming to the auction. I'll reiterate them here. The guests who took the photos tonight are asked to pick them up before noon tomorrow morning.
The banknotes should be traded at the auction house. Those who fail to trade after the deadline will be permanently shut out by the auction house. Guests who take photos of items tonight are also asked to pay attention to the time."
After explaining this, he said: "Let us bring out the second item we took today."
The first item was so precious that everyone changed their initial attitude and started looking forward to the second item.
It was Eunuch Qin who came out again. In addition to the boy holding the vase, another boy came out with him. The two boys were wearing light-colored gloves, and one of them was holding a scroll in his hand. It was obvious that this time the photo was taken.
is a word or painting.
Wu Zong became excited and asked Kang Shilin: "Master, is it the painting of junior sister?"
Kang Shilin remembered that Xiao Lingyan said that he would put Zhao Ruxi's paintings second to last, but he didn't know how many pieces there would be in the auction tonight, so he hesitated and said, "Isn't that right?"
Eunuch Qin and the two servants did not stay on the stage. After coming out of the backstage, they went straight to the box upstairs, obviously to save time.
Guan Wentao introduced the items on the stage: "Everyone has come to see it. The boy was holding a painting in his hand just now. As for whose painting it is and which dynasty it is from, I won't say it for now. Things are destined for people.
, discerning people can naturally tell who the owner of the painting is, how good or bad the painting is, and give the price of the painting based on their own inner standards. However, I can assure you that all the lots in our auction house are
It has been authenticated by a master. Unless the appraisal master has poor eyesight, he will never sell a fake."
After he said these words, people on stage and off stage started talking.
If you sell a painting without telling everyone who painted it, how can you bid? After all, whether the painting is painted by a celebrity or an ordinary painter, and whether the painter is alive or dead, the price is very different.
Wu Zong's mind was spinning the fastest. As soon as Guan Wentao finished speaking, he clapped his hands and shouted: "Ah, this sales method can't be more beneficial to my junior sister."
Zhao Ruxi was a fourteen-year-old girl with a low status. Even if she became a disciple of Kang Shilin and created a completely different system of painting, sketching, people still didn't pay much attention to her.
Even if the landscape paintings she painted are majestic and shocking, once people know who the artist is, they will not only subconsciously despise it, but also label the painting as worthless.
The artist is only fourteen years old. Who knows how many paintings she will create in her life? The paintings at fourteen are definitely immature and immature, and are completely incomparable with the paintings she made when she was thirty or forty years old. Such paintings are naturally worthless.
.
Moreover, the act of bidding for such a little girl's painting shows that they recognize that this little girl's painting skills are sought after by them. Isn't this embarrassing? There are so many big men present, are they not as good as a little girl?
Want to pursue her? Does she have that big face? Who gave her that face?
When the time comes, not only will the paintings be auctioned without bids, but the auction may also be unsuccessful.
In this way, not only did the junior sister fail to become famous, but she became a joke.
But after the fifth prince established such a rule, the situation was completely different.
Wu Zong himself is a painter, and his figure paintings are also excellent. He usually sells paintings for high prices. He is also a very proud person. But he sincerely admits that he is not as good as his junior sister.
Her paintings are absolutely shocking the moment you open the scroll, and the majestic momentum rushes towards you. Anyone who has eyes and can feel this momentum will be impressed by it and be willing to pay a high price to buy it.
It is of great benefit to the junior sister to only look at the painting itself without looking at who the author of the painting is.
While they were talking, Eunuch Qin had already entered their box with two young men.
Without saying a word, the boy opened the scroll and the painting slowly appeared in front of everyone.
Wu Zong was a little disappointed when he saw that it was not his junior sister. However, he was immediately attracted by the painting.
The horses above were lifelike, as if they were galloping towards them.
"This is..." his eyes widened, "Is this a painting by Zuo Qiusheng of the former dynasty?"
Kang Shilin stroked his beard and nodded: "Exactly."
Zuo Qiusheng in the former dynasty was the best at painting horses. In order to paint horses, he once lived and ate in a stable, just to observe the movement of horses, and he finally painted the most charming horses.
Although Zuo Qiusheng painted many paintings throughout his life, he rarely sold them. He burned them all if he was not satisfied with them. Therefore, there are not many paintings that have been handed down to the world. Coupled with the war, there are even fewer paintings. So far, they have been
Only two paintings were discovered and collected by the Jin people, and one was bought by the late emperor and kept in the palace.
Now there is another painting by Zuo Qiusheng, why shouldn't everyone be excited?
"Take it, you must take it," Kang Shilin said.
But there are many people who think the same as him.
