After Xiao Cunyu finished speaking, he leaned back, seemingly no longer interested in anything in front of him.
However, the expressions of Hang Lixing and his group upstairs became gloomy.
After a short while, the shopkeeper had already finalized the deal, and the painting "Xian Feng Zhi" fell into their hands. But such a painting...
They look down on everyone.
"He... he clearly showed a look of surprise just now, he must have wanted it very much, why..." Young Master Nie beside him was a little annoyed, "This pretty boy is really patient, he's much more insidious than Zhou Jingmao!"
Zhou Jingmao of the Zhou family cannot stand being wronged the most. If he encounters such a thing, he will definitely use silver to hit people without hesitation. It is very likely that an item worth two hundred taels will be raised to two thousand taels!
Zhou Jingmao is good friends with Xiao Cunyu, and Xiao Cunyu...
He is obviously a playboy, ignorant of the sufferings of the world, and a waste who spends money like water!
But she was able to control her temper and didn't continue bidding!
"He is a member of the Xiao family. Which young master of the Xiao family is simple? Even if he is a prodigal son, it doesn't mean he is brainless. He has seen us and of course he understands that you are deliberately raising the price. How could he be so stupid as to fall into your trap?" Hang Lixing said steadily.
He looked calm and not angry.
He was not the one who bid, so naturally he did not pay the five hundred taels of silver.
Young Master Nie was a little annoyed. He didn't expect that he would end up losing more than he gained. He drank a sip of wine in frustration, and the wine glass hit the table with a "bang" sound.
Xiao Cunyu rushed up and made a disgusted face.
A bunch of idiots.
This Fengxianzhi would be a treasure in her hands, and if she used it, it would surely play its greatest role.
But these idiots can only use it to ward off evil spirits and avoid misfortunes on a small scale, but it cannot change their luck.
You haven't even grown up yet, and you dare to plot against her?
Her money didn't come from the wind, so why would she sell it just to save face? That was absolutely impossible.
Without Fengxianzhi, Xiao Cunyu looked uninterested.
But it didn't stop her from opening her mouth.
Several more items appeared one after another, all of them rare treasures, such as a round and flawless sea pearl, a set of extremely pure glass cups, and even a thick exclusive recipe book and a recipe for making ink...
These things were all of considerable value, and the bidding was very lively.
In every show, Xiao Cunyu would open her mouth and shout a few words, raising the price from time to time, but these things were more popular, so her voice would be drowned out in a blink of an eye.
"This painting is the Kaiyun Scene from the Qingming Tu, completely different from the Fengxianzhi painting just now. It depicts the grand banquet hosted by Dafeng for the envoys from Changguo nearly thirty years ago. As everyone knows, our country built a temporary palace at that time, filled with rare treasures and beautiful maids. Almost all the nobles in the capital went to the palace to admire the scenery, and this painting depicts the scene at that time. The painter was Fu Lingzi, the foremost painter of our dynasty..."
As the shopkeeper spoke, the audience was already whispering.
The Qingming Tu is very grand. It is said that the whole painting consists of twelve pictures, depicting twelve scenes of the imperial palace.
In this scene, the theme is a pavilion on Yunhu Lake, with mountains, water, fog and clouds. Luxury and prosperity are entangled in the mist, and the painting is very natural.
The palace that everyone talked about in the past had long since fallen into disrepair due to the empty treasury and the misappropriation of the palace's belongings.
The reason why the treasury is empty... is also ironic.
This painting depicts the grand scene of friendly relations between Feng and Chang. However, at this time, Li was in civil strife, and the two countries had their own agenda for friendly relations, which was to start a war.
War always requires money. If you spend too much and can’t fill the hole, you’ll have to sell your treasure.
Just like her, when she had no money to spend, she would sell the little fortune left by her parents as much as she could.
