Chapter 19 Crawling out
Shi Qian was really helpless. This price was enough to give Xingzhi Academy a face. If he came to the first auction, the poem would be only auctioned with other unframed poems at most. The reserve price alone would not exceed four cents of silver. The price increase could start at a few cents.
After hearing Shi Qian's words, everyone burst into laughter. Although the price was already high, even the fakes sold at two liang were much better than these two pieces of paper.
"Hahahaha, did Xingzhi Academy voluntarily give up? Did you save even the money for mounting?" Fang Shihong took the lead and cheered.
"It's better to fail to sell it. At least that Golden Buddha was much more beautiful than these two pieces of waste paper when he was given the second auction." Liu Jinsong ridiculed.
"The two are also examples of gold and jade, and they are all weak. Could it be that you only look at the gorgeous mounting of poetry and paintings and cannot understand the essence of these two poems? I would like to give five hundred taels of these two poems." As soon as Zhu Ying'an said this, everyone was stunned. He liked these two poems and copied them casually when he went back. He even had to use five hundred taels to take these two pieces of paper, which was not a handwritten by a famous artist.
"What we scholars should admire is connotation. I think Lord Shi has a little lower evaluation of these two poems. The best works are not enough to express these two poems. It is just right that they are famous quotes throughout the ages. I will give one thousand taels." Before Zhu Ying'an finished speaking, Xu Erjue immediately stood up and continued.
Many people can’t keep up with their ideas. What’s wrong with this world? Is money worthless?
Xu Minger was a little lost when the last item was displayed. She couldn't figure out why the things she hand-written were auctioned at the end. When Xu Erjue finished speaking, Xu Minger was even more surprised and pulled Xu Erjue's sleeve a few times and whispered, "Erjue, are you crazy? How can we have that much money?"
Xu Erjue blinked at Xu Ming'er, but Xu Ming'er ignored his brother's eyes and was still nervously waiting for explanation. Xu Erjue had no choice but to explain in Xu Ming'er's ear, and Xu Ming'er felt relieved.
"I wonder when the Xu family brother was so rich? He actually had the feeling of buying horse bones with a thousand gold coins." Zhu Ying'an was not surprised to have used 500 taels to bid for Fang Shihong. The two of them had fought each other once or twice, but seeing that the Xu family boy stood up, he was a little embarrassed. Fang Shihong could step on anyone at that time?
Hearing Fang Shihong's ridicule, Xu Erjue felt a little lacking in confidence and didn't know how to answer. He had never done such a thing as using money to smash people, nor did he have the ability to do it.
But Zhu Yingan stopped doing it and said, "Young Master is rich. Don't say you have money to buy some feelings. Even if you spend ten thousand taels to buy you, you won't frown. I will pay 5,000 taels to buy some fun. If you have the ability, you will also slapped my aura."
At this time, what Zhu Yingan thought was not to help Zhang Zhiji bid, but to fight Fang Shihong countless times.
Fang Shihong was also aroused. Not to mention two more pieces of paper, Zhu Ying'an said that even if he was taking a photo, he would have to take the air. "Okay, Fatty Zhu, today I will see how you make me fool. If anyone loses this round of auction, he will crawl out of this room and I will pay 6,000 taels."
Zhu Yingan Ben was just quarrel with Fang Shihong. Anyway, someone paid the bill, so he didn't think these two pieces of paper could be worth a few taels of silver. Isn't ten thousand taels enough to overwhelm all monsters? But at this moment, I'm afraid that this matter will not be good.
Zhu Yingan was not afraid of Fang Shihong, but he brought a total of 30,000 taels of silver notes today, and used 15,000 taels of Hanyue Blade. The book "Lin Huaisu's Self-Portrait" cost nearly 6,000 taels, and only about 9,000 taels of silver on his body. So he turned his body to the side and asked Zhang Zhiji, "Tiyu, how much silver did you bring today?"
"You really want to fight him? I brought 10,000 taels of silver notes, and the only thing left is some broken silver, which is not enough to hire a 2,000 taels to go home. However, this 10,000 taels are the silver you asked you to bid for me before. I can do nothing if there is more." Zhang Zhiji said in a dilemma.
"Brother Xu, where are you?" Zhu Yingan turned to Xu Erjue and said.
"This is ten taels of silver. I will give you all my belongings." Xu Erjue said generously, "If it is not enough, I can borrow some from my sister. She should have dozens of taels."
Zhu Yingan helped his forehead and said, "You should keep it for breakfast tomorrow."
"What, are you afraid of not answering?" Seeing that Zhu Yingan was there for a long time without answering, Fang Shihong retorted.
Zhu Yingan and Fang Shihong have been fighting for so many years. One of the principles they pursue is "Men can lose but not be cowardly." So he just looked up and replied, "Come here, I haven't been afraid for so many years." Zhu Yingan is not purely stupid. He has nearly 20,000 taels on his own. And Fang Shihong spent 88,000 taels to buy a few items before. I think there will be not much money left on his body. "But first agree that you are not allowed to lose at today's auction. Go home and ask for money for money. If it is not enough, go home to get it, everyone can't wait for you." Zhu Yingan continued.
Fang Shihong only brought a few thousand taels of silver notes when he went out. Today, he brought 150,000 taels of silver for the auction. Therefore, except for the 88,000 taels that had been used before, there were more than 60,000 taels left. I think it would be enough to deal with Zhu Yingan. He guessed that Zhu Yingan would be only 50,000 taels at most, and had used 15,000 taels before. "Okay, that's it, you can continue to bid."
"Seven thousand taels." Zhu Yingan didn't raise his hand and directly reported a number.
At this time, Xu Erjue no longer had to raise the price, and everyone else watched the two perform.
"It's too slow to add bit by bit, it's easy to add ten thousand taels." Fang Shihong added three thousand taels at once.
"But that's the case, 15,000 taels." Zhu Yingan said disdainfully.
"I just like this price increase, why can't you stand it?" Fang Shihong still had a lot of silver left. He just wanted to try Zhu Yingan, "I'll pay 18,000 taels."
"Since that's the case, I will pay 19,000 taels." This was Zhu Yingan's limit. If Fang Shihong added him, he would have to admit defeat.
Since Fang Shihong has sufficient funds, of course he will not end there. "I will pay 20,000 taels."
Zhu Yingan was a little unwilling. The most difficult thing for him was to bow his head to Fang Shihong and admit defeat. At this moment, the door of the auction hall was pushed open. Two people came in. When they heard the sound, everyone looked back at the door. The auction was almost over.
Seeing the visitor, Zhang Zhiji immediately stopped Zhu Yingan who was about to admit defeat and asked him to wait.
The visitor looked around the auction hall and walked towards Zhang Zhiji.
Fang Shihong just glanced at the door and turned around. He had noticed Zhu Yingan's expression. He was afraid that 20,000 taels would be the other party's bottom line, so he urged, "What? Are you out of money? Didn't you say you like to buy feelings with money? Didn't you want 10,000 taels to buy this young master to make a fool of himself?"
The two people coming from there had already walked to Zhang Zhiji's side. One of them punched Zhang Zhiji's chest and said, "I won't call us for such an interesting thing."
Zhu Yingan also knew the two people who came. The slightly taller one was Luo Yangxing, the son of Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and the other was Qin Yu, the son of Qin Wenshi, the minister of the Ministry of War. The relationship was not too secret.
"Who told your family to watch it seriously? You have missed many good shows. I will tell you the current drama again. The current drama is the critical moment, and you are here." So Zhang Zhiji talked about the current situation and asked them how much silver they brought.
"If the old man hadn't been summoned to the palace by the emperor, we were still locked up. This time you asked. I heard that the skateboard I mentioned to you last time had risen to 30,000 taels. Luo Ge and I took 30,000 taels each, but when we arrived, we realized that the price was raised and there was still nothing." Qin Yu replied.
"I will lend the silver notes to Brother Yuanting first. I have already solved the skateboarding for you. Someone will be sent to Sihai Manor in a few days."
Neither of them was short of money. They didn't like money very much, and they secretly handed over the silver notes without any hesitation.
Zhang Zhiji whispered in Zhu Ying'an's ear, "There is 60,000 taels more."
At this time, Zhu Yingan had the confidence, "Are you in a hurry to make a fool of yourself? I am not as good as you wish. My master likes to cut his flesh with a blunt knife, and then I will give it - 20,000 taels."
Fang Shihong never thought that Zhu Ying'an would collude with others to borrow money, because the people on his side were all following him, and if they wanted to collude, they could only get a few hundred taels. Because seeing Zhu Ying'an's previous performance, he thought that Zhu Ying'an was just pretending to be calm at this time, "I'll pay 25,000 taels."
"Twenty-five thousand and one taels." Zhu Yingan said a little slutty, and only this one is the minimum price of one tael of silver every time. If you change to other Zhu Yingan, you really can't play like this.
"Thirty thousand taels." Fang Shihong did not believe in evil ways.
"Thirty thousand ten thousand taels."
"Forty thousand taels."
"Forty thousand ten thousand taels."
"Fifty thousand taels."
"Fifty thousand ten thousand taels."
"Fatty Zhu, don't report it randomly. If you can't get it later, the auction will be uncountable." Fang Shihong only had more than 62,000 taels left. If this continues, he will not be able to make a few more rounds of price.
"Why, are you feeling distressed? Or is it because there is not much money?" Zhu Yingan was also a little upset at this time. How much did this guy bring? The total amount was more than 100,000 taels, and he was a little unsure.
"Okay, I don't believe you have brought so many silver notes. The last time, 62,000 taels, if you can add them, I will admit defeat." Fang Shihong said gritting his teeth.
"Then you crawl out, I'll pay 62,001 taels." After saying that, Zhu Yingan took out a stack of silver notes, and then took out a piece of silver from his arms and pressed it on it.
Although Fang Shihong lost, no one could blame him. After all, it was a bit of a joke to shoot two pieces of paper at this price, but the bet that was crawling out was caused by Fang Shihong.
Since then, all the items were sold, and in the end, Xingzhi Academy won the auction with a total transaction price of 100,000 taels. Mr. Xingzhi also escaped the fate of raising another 50,000 taels of silver.
Several other academies could only sigh and pay 50,000 taels of donation to Zhaomo of Shuntian Mansion.
At this time, the hour of You was half over, and the bidder went to deliver the items, and the others had already begun to leave one after another. Fang Shihong believed it. Without waiting for the others to react, he came to the door and crawled out of the door. He immediately stood up outside the door, without hesitating anyone, and left quickly.
