Xiao Cunyu covered his heart with his hands, and his terrified expression looked as if he was really scared.
"If no one bids for Kaiyunjing anymore, then..." the shopkeeper began tentatively.
"Seven, eight... seven thousand eight hundred taels!" Master Nie shouted hurriedly, fearing that he would not have time to think.
Xiao Cunyu frowned slightly, a hint of annoyance flashing across his face, but he quickly suppressed it: "Eight thousand taels!"
After saying this, she was no longer so arrogant, and seemed certain that the other party would not raise the price. She looked at the painting on the stage eagerly, as if it had already been put into her pocket.
"Eight thousand one hundred taels." Hang Lixing also felt angry.
Xiao Jieyuan? His talent and knowledge weren't bad either, but he wasn't the top student. All his brilliance was overshadowed by Xiao Guantang!
Xiao Guantang has everything: the guidance of Mr. Lin and the respect of the students!
And what about him? !
He could hardly raise his head in the academy, all because he was so kind as to find a beautiful jade for Mr. Lin!
If you don't want his kindness, just don't accept it, but you still deliberately suppress it!
What a great scholar, he is nothing but a fraud and a name stealer!
"Brother Hang, you're so generous!" Xiao Cunyu exclaimed, then sat down obediently. "Tieyi, how much banknotes did I bring with me today? Is it enough to buy this painting?"
"You brought a total of 2,330 taels with you, which is definitely not enough." Tieyi said very bluntly.
Xiao Cunyu received the silver and money and counted it in front of him.
"!!!" Hang Lixing stood up angrily: "You cheated me!"
"No, I didn't expect that I didn't bring enough silver... What a shame, so shameful!" Xiao Cunyu snorted, "Tieyi, you must bring more next time. Look, Brother Hang is mad at me. If I had brought 10,000 taels, I could continue the auction now!"
"..." After hearing this, Hang Lixing didn't know whether to be angry or relieved.
This damn brat actually played a trick on him!
"Congratulations, Mr. Hang, for buying the "Qingming Kaiyuntu"!" The shopkeeper made the final decision, fearing that he would lose the business.
After bidding at Lianhuazhai, if you don't buy something, you can compensate for some of the loss, but your reputation will be ruined. If you can't afford the compensation, you will have to go to the government office.
"Congratulations, Brother Hang!" Xiao Cunyu also clasped his fists in congratulations.
She was very sincere and serious, with an unusually clear gaze. She looked like a wishful and silly girl, very naive.
Hang Lixing clenched his fists, not feeling happy at all.
According to the plan, this Kaiyunjing...doesn't require so much money.
Even... when he came today, he specially greeted the people around him. These people were willing to give him some face and were not prepared to fight for this thing. If Xiao Cunyu had not intervened, it might only cost more than four thousand taels!
Now look what happened, eight thousand one hundred silver!
Hang Lixing had beads of sweat on his forehead and his face turned red.
Xiao Cunyu still had that carefree look on his face, even tilting his head and muttering to himself, "There's no Kaiyuntu... so I'll just make a 'Taiping Suichaotu' and give it to my third brother."
"What did you say?" Hang Lixing had very sensitive ears and caught it immediately, and asked hurriedly.
"Brother Hang, don't worry. What does that kid know? The "Taiping Suichao Tu" has disappeared for nearly a hundred years. How could he have it?" Master Nie hurriedly comforted him.
The origin of "Taiping Suichao Tu" is much longer than that of "Qingming Kaiyun Tu"!
It was painted one year before the founding emperor passed away, and he asked the most powerful painters in the world to work together!
This painting was later given away as a reward and disappeared many years later!
