When Wen Nuan and others arrived at the auction house, someone immediately came forward and saluted respectfully:
"The eighth girl is here, Yajian is ready, please!" The eighth princess is not the first to come, and this auction house is indeed related to the royal family, so the people in this auction house recognize the eighth princess.
The eighth princess has a special private room here.
Nuan Nuan and others were invited to a private room on the second floor with a great view.
The private room is semicircular and surrounded by windows, so you can see the auction very well.
There is a mahogany round table in the middle. On the round table are placed a variety of fruits, snacks, and a tea set. A pot of fragrant tea has been brewed, and the room is filled with the aroma of tea.
There is a drawer under the round table with a black price sign and a white chalk-like pen on it. If you like anything, just write the price on the price sign, and then ask the attendant to hold the price sign out of the window. Just shout out the price.
There are several Western telescopes placed next to the price tag.
To facilitate guests to use binoculars to view the auction items below.
Nuan Nuan and the others sat down around the round table.
Just after a few people sat down, Nuan Nuan saw two people walking in from the entrance of the auction.
Although the two people changed their appearance, Nuan Nuan still recognized them. After all, they were relatively familiar.
These two people are not...
"Eighth girl, your father is here!"
The eighth princess was drinking tea. After hearing this, she was so scared that she spit out tea!
What is her father
She quickly looked out.
Isn't it her father
And the person beside the emperor is undoubtedly Eunuch Li!
Wen Nuan: "Why did the emperor come to the auction? Does he have something he wants to take a photo of?"
The eighth princess retracted her head: "... Nuannuan, how did you recognize it?"
Father came here to take pictures of something, he came to sell something!
Warmth: "Just intuitive! The walking posture is very familiar."
Eighth Princess: "......"
sharp! sharp!
The first time she met her father at an auction, she didn't even recognize him, but later she discovered him accidentally.
But my father didn’t know that he recognized him!
"You have to pretend not to recognize it for a while!"
Nuan Nuan nodded.
This is natural. The emperor is paying a private visit incognito. How stupid must she be to recognize him directly? Isn't that a way to seek death
Liang Ziyun was also surprised and said: "Eighth Princess, what is the emperor doing here?"
Both Gentle and Wenxin looked at the eighth princess, they were both curious.
Princess Eight: "Probably, enjoy the fun of making money?"
My father would come out once or twice a year, and each time he would secretly take out the ancient paintings from his small vault and put them up for auction.
Several people:"... ... ... "
I didn’t expect that the emperor would still have such interest!
The private room next to the eighth princess is the emperor's private room.
After the emperor sat down, he asked the manager of the auction house: "Xiaoba is here too?"
He knew that the private room next to it was the eighth princess's private room.
I just walked by and saw that the private room was not locked from the outside, but was closed from the inside.
"Sir, yes, Miss Eight is here with several other girls."
The emperor thought for a while and felt that he should be with Princess Hui'an.
"Look what they want to take pictures in the private room, I'll give it to you!"
"Yes!" the manager said respectfully.
"The auction can begin." He couldn't leave the palace for too long.
"yes!"
~
The auction will begin soon.
The first appearance is an ancient painting. This painting was taken out by the emperor and secretly auctioned.
It is a work by a famous painter two hundred years ago. It depicts the lively scene of brewing in a brewing workshop.
It was robbed as soon as it appeared. This is an antique, a centuries-old antique.
Moreover, there are very few works handed down by this painter!
It is rare for anyone to be willing to put this kind of antique painting up for auction, unless the family is in dire straits!
However, there are still a few paintings in the emperor's treasury. They are all for appreciation anyway, so why not use them to earn some money and support the family
Finally, this ancient painting, which was more than two hundred years old, was bought by a wealthy businessman for one hundred thousand taels of silver.
The emperor was very satisfied after hearing this: Well, Sishui County has money to control floods this year!
April is the time when dragon boat water blooms. This year's dragon boat water comes earlier. A few days ago, he received a memorial from Sishui County. Many people's houses in Sishui County were washed away and their fertile fields were submerged. He asked for funding from the previous government. Disaster relief.
However, this year there are floods in the south and drought in the north!
Then we need to add new soldiers and build a training base!
Every local official asked him for money! You got more than you handed in!
How can he have so much money!
The second painting is a picture of flowing water and blooming flowers.
This painting is a picture of peonies blooming in the countryside.
Peonies have almost been painted to death by literati throughout the ages, and no one has painted them so lifelike.
But this picture of flowers blooming and being prosperous, because the scene was taken in the countryside, with green water, green mountains, and blooming peonies, the colors are gorgeous and very pleasing to the eye.
Because flowing water brings wealth and flowers bloom, there are many people at the auction.
But the asking price was not very high at first, and it was not a painting by a famous artist.
The bidding started at fifty taels, some people raised the price by one tael, and some raised the price by two taels.
It can be seen that this kind of painting cannot be sold at a high price.
In a certain private room, Wen Yu said to the maid beside him: "Go!"
The maid responded: "Yes!"
The maid went out for a while and came back soon.
Then a butterfly flew in from nowhere.
The people at the auction house didn't pay much attention at first.
Then another butterfly flew in, then two, then three...
Those colorful butterflies flew to the stage one after another.
Everyone raised their heads or turned their heads to look at the butterflies.
Then I saw those butterflies landing on the peonies on the painting.
They paused on the flower for a moment, then flew to the next one.
This scene shocked all the auctioneers in the audience!
"My God, this painting is amazing! The peonies on it look so fake and real! Even butterflies are attracted to it!"
"Absolutely amazing! It's absolutely amazing! Which master's painting is it?"
"Yuyan? Who is Yuyan?"
"I want to take a picture of this painting! If you put this painting at home, there will be colorful butterflies coming every day. It will be a beautiful scenery! One hundred taels!" In an instant, someone shouted a high price!
Originally, the bidding price of one tael of silver and one tael of silver just now had already reached seventy taels, but now the price has been increased to two taels!
"One hundred and fifty taels!"
"Two hundred taels!"
"Two hundred and fifty taels!"
... ...
"Five hundred taels!"
"One thousand taels!"
Bidding sounds come and go!
Wen Yu's mouth was filled with a smile.
From then on, she became famous all over the world!
The emperor was also dumbfounded: "Whose painting can be fake and real?"
Princess Eight: "That's awesome! The butterflies are here!"
Liang Ziyun: "How do those butterflies know that there are peonies blooming here?"
Eighth Princess: "Yes!"
Nuan Nuan: "It's just a small trick!"
