Lu Changsheng didn't have time to think about it. He really wanted to go to Murong's house and meet Murong Qingxue.
"Uncle, do you like this painting?" At this moment, Ji Shaoye, who was sitting next to Gu Zhengwen, asked.
Of course Gu Zhengwen liked this painting, but a painting like this would probably fetch a sky-high price. Although his family was relatively wealthy, it was definitely not something he could afford.
Gu Zhengwen shook his head and said, "Just appreciate it, there's no need to buy it."
"If uncle likes it, I can take a picture of it and express my feelings to him." As Ji Shaoye spoke, he glanced at Lu Changsheng, which was meaningful.
Gu Zhengwen was stunned. If it had been before, he might have actually asked Ji Shaoye to take the photo. Even if he didn't want it, he could have gone and observed it frequently. But now that Lu Changsheng is around and Ji Shaoye deliberately explained it, the meaning is very clear.
He wanted to demonstrate with Lu Changsheng.
After what happened yesterday, Gu Zhengwen is already very satisfied with Lu Changsheng. Although Ji Shaoye's artistic attainments are also good, he cannot compare with Lu Changsheng. Although Gu Zhengwen likes this painting, his determination will not change.
, If he hadn't liked Ji Shaoye very much in the past, and if his daughter's marriage to Ji Shaoye hadn't been able to get married, and he felt guilty, he would never have interacted with Ji Shaoye again.
"No need, just take a look at some things." Gu Zhengwen shook his head and declined.
But Ji Shaoye thought that Gu Zhengwen was playing hard-to-get, so he smiled and participated in the bidding. When he raised the placard for the first time, he glanced at Lu Changsheng: "Three million."
For such a painting, no matter how accomplished the artist is, three million is still considered high. In today's world of calligraphy and painting, the highest auction price for a contemporary painter is only three million, and it is definitely a work by a long-established master.
"Do you want to take pictures? I'll lend you some money." Li Yi asked.
"No need. The Murong family naturally put this painting up for auction. They have their own intentions. Just wait and see what happens." Lu Changsheng shook his head. He wanted to know what the Murong family was doing.
Li Yi stopped talking, and then the price kept rising. In the end, it actually reached a price of five million, which can be said to be a sky-high price in the contemporary calligraphy and painting world.
But Ji Shaoye didn't even frown and directly increased the price: "Seven million!"
From what he meant, this was inevitable. Everyone present looked at him in surprise, and Ji Shaoye seemed to enjoy the feeling of being noticed.
When he looked at Lu Changsheng proudly, he found that Lu Changsheng had no intention of bidding at all. At this time, he already thought that Lu Changsheng had given up.
"Ten million!" came a voice, and everyone present took a breath.
This is definitely a sky-high price, creating the highest price in the history of contemporary calligraphy and painting. Even though the author of this painting is not famous now, after this sky-high price, the author immediately became a master and became a master, not to mention the literary giants present.
Famous artists don't think they can paint such a painting.
Ji Shaoye's face was very ugly. As the young master of the Ji family, he wanted to buy a painting but someone actually went against him. This was unacceptable to him.
He turned around and looked at the source of the sound, but it didn't matter if he didn't look at it. He was stunned as soon as he looked at it. If he dared to go against this person, I'm afraid even the Ji family wouldn't be able to protect him.
At this time, everyone present looked over and saw a middle-aged man, accompanied by two bodyguards, walking into the auction, and he was the one who just made a bid.
If it were in other places, I'm afraid this person would have been kicked out long ago for casually asking for prices, but it's different now.
"The heir to the Murong family, Murong Huang!" Li Yi whispered in Lu Changsheng's ear, "He is also the father of Murong Qingxue!"
Hearing this name, Lu Changsheng had no reaction, but when he heard the word father, the anger in Lu Changsheng's heart rose.
Who here does not know the status of the Murong family? And who does not know the heir of the Murong family, Murong Huang?
But Lu Changsheng didn't know him, but he still had a grudge against him. If it hadn't been for this guy's words, Murong Qingxue might not have said that to him in order to protect him, and he wouldn't have hurt Murong Qingxue.
Heart.
When he thought of Murong Qingxue's almost demented expression that day, Lu Changsheng's heart felt pain for no reason. He thought about how much harm he had done to her at that time, to that person who didn't understand the world, but endured being hurt in order to protect him.
He has to protect his girl despite being wronged, how hurtful it is!
"What's wrong with you!" Gu Yueqin didn't know why Lu Changsheng's hands were shaking.
"No...it's okay!" Lu Changsheng forced a smile, but Gu Yueqin could see how forced this smile was.
"If you feel uncomfortable, let's go." Gu Yueqin said.
"No." Lu Changsheng shook his head and regained his composure, "Why are you leaving?"
Gu Yueqin sighed, but did not say anything. At this time, Murong Huang stepped onto the podium. Although everyone did not know why Murong Huang, the master behind the auction, participated in the bidding, they did not dare to have any opinions.
This is the effect of power.
"You must want to ask me why I participated in this bidding, right?" Murong Huang glanced at everyone, his eyes fell on Lu Changsheng, and Lu Changsheng also looked at him, but he took it back after just a moment, but Lu Changsheng
Changsheng felt a kind of oppression from the superiors.
Compared to his uncle Ming Xuanji, there was an unabashed oppression about Murong Huang, while his uncle seemed more easy-going.
Everyone was silent, but some people still nodded. As for Ji Shaoye, he was breaking out in a cold sweat at this moment, thinking that it was a good thing he didn't mess around just now, otherwise it would have been terrible.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Murong Huang spoke again: "The main reason is that this painting does not belong to my Murong family, and the owner of the painting did not send it to be photographed."
"Boom!" Everyone present exploded, but soon they calmed down again. Since it was not sent for auction, and it was not from the Murong family, the source can be imagined. With the strength of the Murong family, if they want to get such a
There are many ways for a painting, but what some people regret is whether the owner of that painting is still alive or not.
Those who engage in art have weird tempers. Some people would rather offend powerful people than give in. The reason why they did not speak today is because there is no need to offend the Murong family, but if something happens to them, they will never give in.
.
"But..." Murong Huang glanced at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Lu Changsheng, "The owner of the painting was at the scene today, so I took this painting mainly to confirm the painting.
I also hope to buy the property rights of this painting from the owner. Although my Murong family has some money, we will never do anything like that."
With a "boom", the entire auction exploded again. They all looked at each other and even glanced to other places to see if there was anyone they didn't recognize.
After all, in this kind of occasion, we are traveling together, they all know famous people, and they must be quite old to be able to paint such a painting, so they all hope to witness the grace of the owner of the painting.
But they looked for a long time, and even Gu Zhengwen was looking for it, but they couldn't find anyone who fit their position. Finally, they looked at Murong Huang, obviously hoping that he could reveal the answer to everyone present.
And Murong Huang did not disappoint them. He looked at Lu Changsheng and said, "Little brother, I don't know what you want!"
With a "boom", the auction exploded again. They followed Murong Hao's gaze and saw a young man.
"This...this painting was...did you paint?" Gu Zhengwen was speechless, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Ji Shaoye was even more surprised. He also studied calligraphy and painting and had good attainments, but he did not expect that Lu Changsheng would be the owner of this painting.
"No... no way!" Gu Ling looked at Lu Changsheng with complicated eyes. She suddenly thought of something. It is said that Murong Qingxue once cried for a boy when she was in Qinghe High School, "You won't
Is it Murong Qingxue, the one you like?"
Lu Changsheng did not answer. He stared at Murong Huang and suddenly smiled: "Sorry, this painting is not for sale!"
"Boom" the auction exploded again. Everyone present looked at this young man. He stood proudly on his seat and stared at Murong Huang, which shocked them greatly.
Everyone knows how powerful the Murong family is, but this young man rejected Murong Huang on the spot, which was like stroking a tiger's beard.
But if this young man surrenders and has no pride at all, then how can he draw such a painting?
Gu Zhengwen was already stunned. He naturally knew Lu Changsheng's temper. Of course he admired Lu Changsheng's integrity, but it seemed a bit silly to show such integrity in front of Murong Huang.
"Haha." Murong Huang sneered, "Okay, good sense, but no one has refused to give me the things my Murong family wants. You can set a price. My Murong family will never take other people's things for free!"
"
Lu Changsheng shook his head: "I said I won't sell it, didn't you hear it? Your Murong family has your Murong family's principles, but I also have my own principles. If I don't want to give you my things, even the King of Heaven will give it to me.
Take it away!”
"Siss" Everyone present took a breath. They didn't expect that this young man would dare to challenge Murong Huang.
Gu Zhengwen quickly pulled Lu Changsheng, as if to ask him to sit down. He felt that if a genius like Lu Changsheng was ruined, it would be a loss to the literary world.
Murong Huang's eyes were very cold, so cold that he already had murderous intent. The reason why he auctioned this painting was because of his father Murong Ku's intention. His father said that Lu Changsheng would definitely come, and he must buy this painting from Lu Changsheng.
Painting, no matter what method is used.
He originally thought that as long as he paid Lu Changsheng a high price, he would successfully complete the task, but he did not expect that Lu Changsheng not only refused, but even refused to give him face.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of the disappearance of Gu Ming and Butler Liu, and now he was sure that they were killed by Lu Changsheng.
Just when everyone didn't know how to end it, Lu Changsheng spoke again: "I have given the painting to Qingxue, so the owner of this painting is now her. You don't need to buy it from me, and you don't need to take it from me.
The things I sent out have absolutely no intention of getting them back."
After saying that, Lu Changsheng sat down, and everyone present was speechless. At this time, they all thought that Lu Changsheng had given in, otherwise he would not have said that he would give the painting to Murong Qingxue.
But the words were very harsh in Murong Huang's ears. Instead of giving in, Lu Changsheng used the few words just now to tell him that he was not someone the Murong family could manipulate as they wished.
"Okay!" Murong Huang glanced at Lu Changsheng coldly and strode away.
"When I have time, I will visit the Murong family and uncle Murong!" Lu Changsheng said again.
Murong Huang kept his steps steady, said nothing, and disappeared from the auction house in an instant.
