Those people were about to ask the messenger boy to report the number, but they saw that the boy named "No. 7" had auctioned himself off, and everyone was stunned again. What kind of weird trick is this? Can you still play like this?

?

"This is..." Fu Yunlang felt that his brain was not working properly.

Xiao Lingpu said calmly: "This is the price I paid."

Fu brothers: "..."

Although Xiao Lingpu also bid on the previous items, it was only a matter of trust. Now...

Fu Yunkai was a little confused as to what Xiao Lingpu did.

The two grew up together and are as close as brothers. He also spoke more casually: "I say, Your Highness, if you want to raise the price, at least don't raise it above my price."

"I really like this painting." Xiao Lingpu said.

As a prince, he has seen and eaten too many good things. He is also a very self-disciplined person and does not allow himself to be controlled by material desires. Therefore, his material desires are extremely low, as low as almost none. He pursues spiritual pursuits more.

some things.

But the painting just now shocked his soul and hit his heart directly. He really wanted to take a picture of this painting.

Fu Yunkai felt the same as Xiao Lingpu, so he could especially understand Xiao Lingpu's mood.

He nodded and watched the people below react from their sluggishness and start bidding. He sighed: "Forget it, even if you don't beat me, I can't get this painting."

It's not that Pingnanhou Mansion is short of money, it can still get two to thirty thousand taels of silver.

But he cannot be willful.

The money at home can be said to be the reserve silver of the army, which can save the lives of soldiers at critical moments. No matter how much he likes the painting, he cannot ignore it and spend a lot of money to buy it.

"Okay. You spend your money and I'll come and watch." He added.

Xiao Lingpu punched Fu Yunkai on the shoulder, laughed and scolded: "You kid, you are quite good at abacus."

After saying that, he raised his chin: "But I disappoint you. I can't afford this kind of price."

He is also a master who cannot be willful. His money is of great use and cannot be spent on such things. The price just now was the only price he paid impulsively.

It didn't matter that the two of them were impulsive, but they suddenly raised the price of the painting.

What someone is grabbing is a good thing.

People who were hesitant at first because the author of this painting was unknown were stimulated by their price, and finally let their inner love go and started bidding wildly.

"Fifteen thousand five hundred taels."

"Sixteen thousand taels."

"Seventeen thousand taels."

"Nineteen thousand taels."

That painting can make people like Fu Yunkai and Xiao Lingpu who can't spend money get excited, and others even more so.

The previous auction items, even Zuo Qiusheng's paintings and Western clocks, were all priced at one to two hundred taels of silver each. When it came to Zhao Ruxi's painting, the price was actually one to two thousand taels of silver each.

This crazy attitude made everyone in Zhao Ruxi's box stunned.

Before coming, the three senior brothers plus Kang Yannian avoided bumping heads with Zhao Ruxi and agreed that one of them would pay one price to support the younger junior sister. But before it was their turn to make a move, the price became so high.

"Master, do you mean that you don't have a chance to raise your placard?" Wu Zong asked Kang Shilin.

After the bidding started, the master called Kang An, who was standing in the corner, and whispered a few words, and Kang An withdrew.

They thought the master was trying to support the little junior sister in bidding, but the sign representing their box was not even raised once.

"No, it's because of other things." Kang Shilin said.

When Xiao Lingyan went to lobby him, he said that his painting would be the last one, and that he would let the emperor take a photo of his painting. In the end, the two of them negotiated a price that was a little higher than the price of Zhao Ruxi's painting.

At that time, Zhao Ruxi had not repainted this painting. Kang Shilin picked a favorite painting and felt that although it was not as good as Zhao Ruxi's, it was equally comparable and each had its own merits. However, his painting had a reputation bonus, so the bidding price would naturally be higher than that of Zhao Ruxi's.

Zhao Ruxi's Gao.

But after seeing the painting that Zhao Ruxi sent again, he knew that Zhao Ruxi's painting might fetch a very high price.

He didn't feel ashamed, but rather proud.

That was all his achievements in life. When he got old, he would only feel proud and honored to have an outstanding disciple like Zhao Ruxi.

This proves that Lao Kang has a foresight in selecting his apprentices.

He immediately asked someone to send a message to Xiao Lingyan, asking him not to interfere with the price. The price of his and Zhao Ruxi's paintings depends on chance.

But as soon as the reserve price of Zhao Ruxi's painting and the first bid came out, he knew that this was wrong again. He quickly called Kang An and told him to meet the fifth prince in person and let him find a way to sell his painting at the auction.

, lower the price. No matter what, it cannot be higher than the price of Zhao Ruxi’s paintings.

After thinking about it, he still explained: "I asked Kang An to contact the fifth prince and ask him to find a way to lower the price of my painting. It is best not to exceed Zhiwei."

He didn't want to wait for his painting to appear, because the bidding price was not as good as Zhao Ruxi's, and his three apprentices and his son had thoughts about Zhao Ruxi.

"Why?" Kang Yannian blurted out his words.

He gave Zhao Ruxi a complicated look.

Is it necessary for his father to sacrifice to this extent for Zhao Ruxi? Zhao Ruxi still has a long way to go. With her ability, it is only a matter of time before she surpasses her master. There is no need to suppress his father when she sells paintings for the first time, right?

If Zhao Ruxi relied on his own ability to suppress his father, he would have nothing to say. Everyone should rely on their own ability. But if his father did this intentionally, he would not feel good about it.

Is it necessary? Why? When his father thinks so highly of his young apprentice, what position does he put himself and the Kang family in?

Kang Shilin glanced at him with hatred: "Can you use your brain to think about the problem? Is your father the kind of saint who harms himself and benefits others? I still don't accept it. If it's possible, I would too

Let’s compete with my little apprentice.”

He sighed and expressed helplessness: "But isn't it impossible to fight? I have no choice but to sell my favor to Zhiwei."

"Master." Zhao Ruxi thought over and over again and figured out the key to this.

She was so moved that she burst into tears: "Master, you don't have to do this. Really, I'm never afraid of rumors or anything like that. I believe that as time goes by, the world will recognize that my paintings are worth so much money.

"

The people present were all old foxes who were well-educated in the officialdom, even Kang Yannian, who was troubled by his concern for his father. Hearing Zhao Ruxi's words, he also reacted.

Because the base price of Zhao Ruxi's painting was the same as Zuo Qiusheng's, as soon as the bidding was held, the price immediately exceeded Zuo Qiusheng's. I don't know how high it will rise now.

Now everyone is doing it from the bottom of their hearts, because they like this painting, so they want to get it in their pockets crazily, so they keep bidding at high prices. But when they get the painting, they find out that the painting is of a fourteen-year-old girl
