Even Hu Xiaotian didn't expect that this guy would dare to come forward to bid. I said, you are so brave. You dare to bid in front of King Zhou? But Hu Xiaotian immediately understood Xu Qinglian's intention. This old turtle is very likely to
Ninth, he wanted to take a picture of this landscape painting and then give it to Long Yefang. He wanted to curry favor with the King of Zhou.
Xu Qinglian did have such thoughts, and he hesitated for a long time before making a decision. After saying this, he immediately added: "I am willing to sell this painting for 550 taels and give it to His Highness the King of Zhou."
Hu Xiaotian secretly sighed in his heart, this old turtle really didn't want to show off at all, and he didn't even take a damn photo of it. He wanted to sell it to King Zhou first. What he said was like telling everyone at the scene clearly, don't follow me.
To fight, to fight with me is to fight with the King of Zhou.
The smile on Zhou Wang Long Ye's lips became even thicker. He was not a vain person, but the feeling of being respected by others still made him feel happy.
Hu Xiaotian thought that Long Yefang would bid from the beginning, but he did not expect that he could be so calm. This made Hu Xiaotian look at the seventeenth prince with admiration. After all, Long Yefang was from the royal family, and his vision was still very high.
, he should have expected from the beginning that someone would give this painting to him, so what if it was a bid? Since he showed a strong interest, who would dare to take it for himself?
After Xu Qinglian's words, most people backed down. No one could offend Qingyun's county magistrate because of a painting.
Hu Xiaotian cursed secretly in his heart. This old turtle wanted to curry favor with Long Ye, but he was reluctant to pay. He only added fifty taels. Now he is getting an advantage. Hu Xiaotian said: "Five hundred and fifty taels once, five hundred and fifty taels."
...Twice! Five hundred and fifty taels..." I was really unwilling to let Xu Qinglian, an old turtle, get a huge advantage in vain.
At this time, a rough voice said: "I will offer six hundred taels!" But it was Teng Tianqi, the leader of Black Stone Village who had never participated in the bidding, who spoke.
Xu Qinglian's head suddenly got bigger, and he cursed in his heart, why are you a black Miao man trying to compete with me? He said loudly: "Six hundred and fifty taels!"
Teng Tian prayed: "Eight hundred taels!"
Xu Qinglian felt a chill in his heart. He didn't dare to bid any more. He was just a small county magistrate. Seeing that Teng Tianqi had no intention of giving in, if he kept asking the price, he was afraid that the price would rise to more than a thousand taels.
Even if Teng Tianqi gave up the bidding, everyone would doubt where he got so much money in the end. With his salary, it was impossible to save so much. He looked at Wan Boping not far away.
, I said in my heart that you, Wan Boping, are the richest man in Qingyun. Now you should step forward to fight for Qingyun and earn some face.
Wan Boping was silent now. He seemed to be quite afraid of the leader of Blackstone Village. He lowered his head and remained silent, obviously withdrawing from the competition.
In the end, Teng Tianqi bought the landscape painting for 800 taels. To everyone's surprise, Long Yefang did not participate in the bidding from beginning to end.
Seeing that the landscape painting fell into the hands of foreigners, even Zhang Ziqian felt sorry. In his opinion, few black Miao people could understand the artistic conception of landscape painting. It was really a secret that this painting was taken away by Teng Tianqi.
The auction items below include the white jade Guanyin provided by Wan Boping, as well as various objects donated by others, but most of them did not achieve heart-beating prices, and there was no fierce bidding scene like just now.
A rough calculation shows that one thousand two hundred taels of charity have been auctioned today. Although it is not much, at least it has been explained in terms of face. Most of these auctions have been arranged in advance, and the next step is the on-site donation auction.
.
Zhang Ziqian, the governor of the West, splashed ink and wrote a calligraphy on the spot. This calligraphy was auctioned off by Long Yefang for a price of one thousand taels. In fact, Zhang Ziqian knew full well that although his calligraphy was good, it was a masterpiece that was created overnight on the spot.
In any case, it is not as good as Yan Muliang's Sunrise Mountains and Seas. Long Yefang's move was extraordinary. It was indeed a royal style. He told everyone with such actions that he had the strength, and just because of his status, he didn't bother to do it.
It's just a fight with the black Miao people over the painting.
The enthusiasm at the scene was rekindled, and there was an endless stream of voluntary donors. Hu Xiaotian was about to take out the items he wanted to donate for auction, but heard Xiangqin’s loud voice sounded again: “We have an item to donate, and the reserve price is one thousand taels!
"
Everyone's eyes turned to Xiangqin, and they saw Xiangqin holding up an IOU with an official seal in his hand.
Hu Xiaotian saw clearly that what she was holding in her hand was the IOU he had written to Huancai Pavilion, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. I said, I am really afraid of what I am going to do. When did I say I won’t pay you back?
Ridiculing me in front of so many people is a clear sign of not giving me face. When I first met, I said I wanted to pay her back, and she kept saying that talking about money hurts feelings, but in the blink of an eye, she changed her original attitude.
The IOU was put up for auction. This was done in a very unethical manner. Today, these girls from Huancai Pavilion are not here to cheer, they are here to ruin the show.
According to the rules, interested bidders are allowed to appreciate and evaluate each donated item before the auction, and this IOU is no exception.
Many people came over, but Xiangqin put away the IOU at this time. The IOU was not big after all, and Xiangqin had not fully unfolded it, so no one could see clearly what was written on it.
Hu Xiaotian looked at Xiyan who was sitting there. She was the initiator of this incident. Xiyan didn't look at him at all, nor did she pay attention to anyone in the hall. She just looked at the IOU in Xiangqin's hand, as if
Looking forward to how it will develop next.
Hu Xiaotian raised his hand without hesitation and said: "I'll take the thousand taels of silver!" He knocked out his front teeth and swallowed it, knowing that he was cheated.
Everyone on the scene was exclaimed. An IOU was actually worth a thousand taels. There must be something fishy about this. But most people thought that the IOU was not worth it, and no one would seriously bid with Hu Xiaotian, not to mention that this guy had Qingyun County.
Cheng’s identity.
But someone just opened the bidding, and the bidder was actually Zhou Wang Long Yefang: "Two thousand taels!" As he spoke, Long Yefang always looked at Xiyan with a smile.
Hu Xiaotian is depressed. This prince is not a good person. The IOU belongs to me. Who are you following to join in the fun? Want to pick up girls? You want to leave a deep impression on Xiyan, but you can’t put your happiness at risk.
It is based on my pain. Hu Xiaotian is not bidding now, nor is he not bidding. It is really a dilemma.
As long as Long Yefang bids, no one will bid against him at the scene. Firstly, because of his power, and secondly, no one wants to be taken advantage of. What is the use of this IOU? It may be worthless.
At this time, Xi Yan looked at Hu Xiaotian, her beautiful eyes full of provocative light. She seemed to be saying, do you have the guts to bid with Long Yefang?
Hu Xiaotian thought to himself that it's not just robbing a woman, it's just an IOU. I don't want to fight with this prince and grandson, so he had the idea of retreating. This guy is not immune to Xi Yan's provocation.
Knowing his original embarrassment, no normal man has ever visited a brothel, let alone done anything shady. Even if this incident comes to Li Tianheng's ears, he is not afraid. The worst is, you will think that I have misbehaved.
, I like to visit the brothels when I have nothing to do, and I still owe the brothel sister so much money. If the engagement is broken off, I would be happy to do so.
Xi Yan finally glanced at Long Yefang and said softly: "The amount on this IOU is only ten taels of silver."
Long Yefang smiled and said: "I will pay you two thousand taels of silver!"
The scene was completely silent, with a royal spirit. This is the real second generation of rich people. If they are pretending to be the second generation of officials, in fact, even the entire Dakang belongs to their Long family. What does a mere two thousand taels of gold mean?
Hu Xiaotian was a little unhappy now. Long Yefang, Long Yefang, I know your father is awesome, but we have to behave in a certain way. What’s so big about two thousand taels of silver? It’s nothing more than a number to you, as long as you shout
Come out, I don’t know how many people are rushing to give you money behind your back. Who doesn’t know your intention? It’s just to use two thousand taels of silver to make the beauty smile, but you are just showing off, why do you want to step on me? Just because of you.
Is he more majestic than me? In fact, he also understands that he is much more majestic than his own father.
Xiyan sighed and said, "Two thousand taels of silver sounds good." She took the IOU from Xiangqin's hand.
Long Yefang stood up with a smile, a proud smile on his face. He thought that there was no way anyone would come forward to compete with him, so he was going to personally take the IOU from Xi Yan. Of course Long Yefang wouldn't care about the IOU, Drunkard
What he cares about is not the wine, but Xi Yan. This beauty has attracted all his attention since she stepped into Hongyan Tower. Every smile, every move, all affects his heartbeat, not to mention two thousand.
So what if it's 10,000 taels of silver? As long as you can make a beautiful woman smile and win her heart, no matter how much money you have, it's worth it.
Xi Yan said: "We are just people in the dust, and we are not worthy of His Highness King Zhou's love." Before Hu Xiaotian could announce the result, he had already torn the IOU into pieces in front of everyone. Her move was beyond all expectations.
As expected, Hu Xiaotian was stunned when he saw it. He was relieved but also felt a little pity. An IOU was two thousand taels. I said, this week Wang is clearly a victim. Originally, the money was already in his hands. With this money
All the financial problems that troubled him were solved, but Xiyan's behavior brought him back to before liberation in an instant. I said, what you tore off was my money!
Xiyan opened her hands, and thousands of tiny pieces of paper flew like butterflies. Then she turned around and left, leaving no sympathy for Zhou Wang Long Yefang at all.
Long Yefang didn't expect that she would treat him like this. He had already stood up and was about to take the IOU, but he couldn't help but froze there, with the expression on his face extremely embarrassed. The guard beside him suddenly wanted to have a fit, but Long Yefang couldn't help but freeze there.
Ye Fang raised his right hand to signal everyone to calm down and not to act rashly. (To be continued...)
