Nuan was too lazy to pay attention to him, and he closed his eyes without opening them.
The more this kind of person pays attention to him, the more energetic he becomes!
Xu Tingzhi had been sitting there quietly without bidding, and his expression was as serious as ever. Even when Wen Yu's painting appeared, he just glanced at it, and paused for two seconds.
Now I am looking at the back of Nuan Nuan's head in surprise, this little girl knows how to draw!
So many people couldn't tell, but she could tell at a glance, her eyesight was no less than his!
He is good at painting flowers and birds. He can tell at a glance that this painting only pays attention to fancy and craftsmanship. He uses all the skills. It looks beautiful on the surface, but it does not paint the true soul of the flowers and birds.
A flower is a flower and a bird is a bird. There is no connection between the two and there is no soul!
Soon the warm painting was presented.
As soon as the auctioneer appeared, the whole place fell into silence, an apocalyptic silence!
Even people who don't know how to paint can see the quality of this painting.
Because it’s so realistic!
So vivid!
Xu Tingzhi couldn't help but straighten his back, with a serious face, a touch of surprise, and he couldn't bear to blink.
The people present were just like him, reluctant to look away!
It took a long time for someone to hold back two words: "Masterpiece!"
He had been searching for a long time and couldn't find a good adjective, so he could only say these two words.
As soon as the words fell, it was like turning on a button, waking everyone up.
"Oh my god! This painting is amazing. The wolf painting must have become a spirit!"
"The eagle painting came to life! It must have flown directly into the painting!"
"What a picture of a spirit wolf walking in the countryside and a goshawk spreading its wings! There is no color at all, but it makes people seem to see a joyful picture of a harvest in the mountains and fields in autumn."
"At this time, colorlessness is better than color, and silence is better than sound!"
"Which master's painting?"
"Wu Ming? Who is Wu Ming? It's so amazing that you can actually draw such a masterpiece! This painting skill is amazing."
... ..
Who is Wuming? I don’t know his name, gender, or age, but he is famous!
It was praised as a god by the businessmen, painters, and scholars who participated in this auction!
After this auction, there is a new star in the world of calligraphy and painting, and that is Wuming!
―――
Xu Tingzhi's eyes widened and he stared at the paintings on the stage: ink renderings, like flowing water flowing around the plain sign, a few strokes of outline, dots of ink, distant mountains and rivers, leisurely fields, and the joy of a good harvest, all vividly reflected on the paper. superior.
As the pen moves and the ink flows, the spirit wolf and the goshawk are as real as walking into the painting!
It really feels like you are there in person!
It uses no tricks but beats them all!
From complexity to simplicity, this is the truth.
This is a painting with soul, every plant and tree in it is painted alive!
Even the back of the farmer wiping his sweat, although there is only one back, makes people feel how he feels at the moment - tired and happy!
Everyone couldn't move their eyes away, and joy slowly crept up in their hearts.
Look at the expressions on the faces of the people present unconsciously softening, and even smiling.
Good paintings can arouse people's emotions and make people feel the same!
No doubt this painting did it!
He finally found his apprentice!
Just nameless!
Xu Tingzhi's serious face was full of excitement!
There was no time to think too much, when a loud voice drowned out all the praise and discussion: "Five hundred taels!"
The Taoist and fairy-like old man suddenly spoke up, and as soon as he spoke, an unprecedentedly high price came out!
This is the difference between master-level paintings and those ordinary paintings. Once you bid, they are not of the same level!
"Six hundred taels!" Another loud voice followed immediately.
The price of such a masterpiece can be doubled several times if it is taken out of the capital!
"Seven hundred taels!"
"Eight hundred taels!"
... ..
"One thousand five hundred taels"
One sound drowns out the other!
The whole audience was shocked, one after another!
The people present immediately started shouting one hundred and two hundred taels, scrambling to be the first, and it was very lively.
Zhu Zhenxuan looked at the painting above and was amazed that it was a masterpiece. He glanced at it and started writing, nameless.
Apparently the painter didn't want others to know his real name, so he adopted a pseudonym.
Introduction from the auction house: Painter: unknown; age: unknown; painting time: within three days, because there is still the smell of new ink.
"Such a superb, masterful and profound painting must have been created by an anonymous master." Zhu Zhenxuan affirmed.
Wen Yu's heart moved: "This painter can't be mastered after forty or fifty years of practice. Do you think it was created by Master Xu?"
Master Xu is good at painting flowers and birds, and all of them are masterpieces. He occasionally paints landscapes and other animals, but they are not as good as flower-and-bird paintings.
"It's possible that besides Master Xu, who else in Ningyuan County can paint paintings of this level!"
The two of them subconsciously attributed this painting to something that could only be painted by an old man in their fifties or sixties, and not something that could be painted by people of their age.
Wen Yu: "I want to take a photo of this painting!"
When Zhu Zhenxuan heard this, he said, "I'll give it to you!"
But when he was about to call the price, he found that it had already been called two thousand taels!
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out, and his face turned red.
Although his family runs a grocery store in the town and is living a good life, it is impossible to spend two thousand taels to buy paintings. Only people with huge wealth can do it!
After all, after spending all your money to buy paintings, don’t you need to eat
Seeing this, Wen Yu turned around and pursed his lips, poor guy!
Looking at the painting above, she felt as if she had been scratched by a cat, itching, but she was suffering from a lack of money!
This made her even more eager to become Master Xu’s teacher!
In this way, her paintings will be able to fetch such high prices in the future.
Comparing her paintings with other people's paintings is no longer beyond comparison!
If she is famous and talented, she can marry into a wealthy family, instead of being ineligible even if she wants to buy a painting!
The bidding continued.
In the end, the call came to two thousand five hundred taels, and the voice gradually became quieter, but there were still two people rushing to bid.
It was the Taoist and immortal old man and Xu Tingzhi.
"Two thousand six hundred taels!" Xu Tingzhi shouted expressionlessly.
"Two thousand seven hundred taels!" The Taoist and immortal old man chased after him.
"Three thousand taels!" Xu Tingzhi added three hundred taels without frowning.
"Three thousand one hundred taels!"
"Three thousand five hundred taels!" Xu Tingzhi directly added four hundred!
This was a token of the master-disciple relationship between him and his apprentice.
How could it fall into the hands of others!
The old man with a bone-like immortality opened his mouth, thinking that he didn't bring enough banknotes with him, and said angrily: "I took a bunch of rubbish pictures earlier, I should have known that I would have saved the money and just took this picture!"
He didn't expect that Ningyuan County could also sell such priceless treasures!
I didn’t bring enough banknotes today. It would be easy to take this painting to the imperial capital or overseas and sell it for ten thousand taels!
Wen Yu: "..."
Does the trash he calls also include hers
Unable to take a photo of the masterpiece, the immortal old man stood up and walked away.
He wasn't interested in what was behind.
Wen Yu quickly chased after him: "Master Xu! Wait."
When Xu Tingzhi heard the cry, he instinctively turned his head and looked over.
But he saw Wen Yu chasing an old man and shouting.
He looked away.
Zhu Zhenxuan also quickly chased after him.
—
After the painting was auctioned, Xu Tingzhi left. He had to find the person who collected the auction items at the auction to find out who had put the painting up for auction.
Nuan Nuan and Wen Jiarui did not leave immediately because it was the jade auction's turn next.
Wen Nuan later spent twenty taels of silver on two pieces of jade pendants of average quality but exquisite carving, and spent fifty taels on a rough jade stone of not very good quality, and then went to collect the two thousand yuan for the auction painting. Two, eight hundred taels. After deducting the commission of seven hundred taels, there were only two thousand, eight hundred taels left.
After Xu Tingzhi got the answer, he waited under an elm tree outside the auction house gate for the two of them to come out.
