Even though the starting price was very high, someone quickly raised their placards to bid, and within a short time, the price reached thirteen thousand taels.

"Yunlang, what price did you pay for this Western hourglass?" When Fu Yunkai heard the bidding outside, he didn't believe his ears, so he quickly turned around and asked Fu Yunlang.

Fu Yunlang really didn't want to talk to his brother.

But seeing His Highness looking at him, as if he wanted him to say it again, he could only say: "Five thousand taels of silver."

"Wow, how profitable is that?" Fu Yunkai shouted.

Because of this profit, he and Xiao Lingpu started discussing whether to "repress business."

Fu Yunlang rolled his eyes vaguely and continued to listen to the bidding outside.

This Western thing is so rare. Buying it and placing it in the hall is definitely a symbol of strength and will attract many people in the capital to visit and watch.

In particular, Guan Wentao said that one of the buildings had been donated to the emperor. The bidders knew that even if they won the bid, they did not have to worry about offending the emperor if they did not donate it to the emperor, so the bids became even crazier.

In the end, this exquisite clock was sold for a high price of 22,000 taels.

When Guan Wentao's small drum hammer came down, Fu Yunlang grinned almost to his ears, smiling like a fool: "Haha, I'm rich, I'm rich."

Fu Yunkai covered his mouth and scolded: "Are you crazy?"

Fu Yunlang was excited and quickly added his own palm to his brother's hand.

His Highness adopted an anonymous auction method. Except for those in the palace, no one knew that he had brought this clock back from the south, and that the purchase price was only five thousand taels.

Now the prince is sitting on one side of the box, and the fourth prince is sitting on the other side. These people have nothing to do with the Pingnan Hou Mansion. If they know that Zhong belongs to the Fu family, they will definitely instruct the minister to impeach the Fu family to make huge profits.

Although the emperor will protect the Fu family, they can't cause trouble to the emperor, right?

Seeing that Fu Yunlang had calmed down, Fu Yunkai let go of his hand.

Xiao Lingpu wasn't too worried.

After Xiao Lingyan got the tea house, the focus of the renovation was on these boxes.

He let people tinker in these boxes for a while, and the sound insulation effect of the boxes became very good. Yesterday, Xiao Lingpu tried it. When he sat in and talked, as long as it was not too loud, the people next door couldn't hear him.

"Are you still very impressed by Zuo Qiusheng's painting earlier? Then what we are going to auction next is another painting." Guan Wentao invited the fourth lot on the stage.

"Hey." Fu Yunlang calmed down and stood up, "What's going on?"

He has three clocks. He just sold one. What about the other two? Are they not for sale? Or should they be sold at the end?

"I forgot." Xiao Lingpu patted himself and said to Fu Yunlang with a smile, "Lao Wu asked me to tell you that rare things are valuable, and more things are worthless. If Zhong is the one who took the photo,

The clock sold for a high price, and if there was not enough time at the auction, it would not be auctioned again. He would stay until the end of the auction, and everyone would go to the house where he bought the clock to see it, and then ask around to see if there was any clock for sale.

Once everyone’s appetite is satisfied, we’ll hold another auction.”

Now Fu Yunlang has already surrendered to Xiao Lingyan.

After hearing this, he had no other thoughts, sat down obediently, nodded and said: "Your Highness, the Fifth Prince, thinks long term. I will listen to him in everything."

While he was talking, Eunuch Qin had already led the boy in, saluted Xiao Lingpu: "Your Highness," and said hello to the Fu brothers.

The boy has already unfolded the painting neatly.

"Hey, what a painting." Fu Yunkai was the first to exclaim after seeing the painting clearly.

This painting is naturally the one by Zhao Ruxi.

But this was not the one Kang Shilin wanted to put up for auction at the beginning, but the one painted by Zhao Ruxi just a few days ago.

She was dissatisfied with the original painting and felt that it was a little more ingenious, so she specially went to Zhuangzi to paint it during her holidays.

The reason why academic masters are academic masters is that when others are still taking the appearance of knowledge seriously, they have already cleared away the clouds and gone straight to the core truth.

Zhao Ruxi did not study pure art in her previous life, but when she was painting in this life, she knew that painting creation was based on proficiency in painting skills. But when it came time to actually start painting, she had to forget all painting skills and

Only when you have the thoughts and passions you want to express in your heart can you draw paintings that touch people's hearts.

So she went to Zhuangzi, climbed the mountain behind Zhuangzi, and had a panoramic view of the crisscrossing streets, mountains, and rivers at the foot of the mountain. Then she closed her eyes and recalled what she had seen while traveling in Mingchuan Mountain in her previous life. She was so shocked in her heart that she

Finally, I splashed ink on the top of the mountain and drew this painting.

When she was painting in the past, she always wanted to get high scores, so she consciously trained her skills in certain aspects, thinking about how to plan the layout, where to draw mountains, where to draw water, and what techniques to use to express them.

But when she was painting this painting, there were no distracting thoughts in her mind, and her heart was filled with the shock she had felt when she saw the Victoria Falls.

When she put down her brush, came back to her senses, and looked at her painting, she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

She returned to the capital that night and presented the painting to Kang Shilin. Kang Shilin stood there for a long time, and finally burst into tears, which shocked Zhao Ruxi and Kang An.

Finally, the old gentleman said: "Zhiwei, from now on I, Kang Shilin, will become a famous person in history, not because of myself, but because I am your master."

At that time, Kang Shilin was extremely reluctant to part with the painting and wanted to keep it. Zhao Ruxi agreed to paint him a better one. She also said that this was the first time her painting was exposed to the world and she wanted to show her best.

In front of everyone, Kang Shilin gave up.

Now, this painting was displayed in front of Xiao Lingpu, Fu Yunkai and others. The magnificent waterfall flew down, surging, and the momentum of swallowing up Hongni was so shocking that the two iron-blooded men who had once dominated the battlefield suddenly stood up.

I just felt my mood agitated, and I was filled with great pride for a moment.

Even though he was his master, Eunuch Qin did not intend to show favoritism. When everyone was distracted, he bowed and left with the boy to another box.

After he left, it took a long time before Fu Yunkai calmed down and asked Xiao Lingpu: "Who painted this painting? Does your highness know?"

He was a military commander who had never written or paid attention to anything, so he didn't know much about the painting world. Just like the second lot Zuo Qiusheng's painting, if Xiao Lingpu hadn't explained it to him, he wouldn't have known who the painter was.

Who is it? Why did his auction items fetch such high prices?

Xiao Lingpu came to his senses and shook his head: "I don't know. I've never seen it before."

Such a style of painting would be unforgettable for him as long as he saw it. The painter could not be an unknown person.
