    Liu Zheng drank several glasses of wine in a row. Although he was a little drunk and a little excited, his mind was still clear.

    The old bustard stood up to speak. Liu Zheng was afraid that Wang Qi would not know the situation, so he explained: "Brother Xian, you are right to come with me today. The auction in Tianxiang Pavilion is very interesting."

    "According to the usual probability, it happens about once every half a month. Sometimes, it doesn't even happen once a month."

    "I didn't expect that we met."

    "The auction in Tianxiang Pavilion was really a big scene. People who seemed to be silent on weekdays met the auction, but they spent money like water. They didn't even blink when throwing money. Thousands and tens of thousands of taels of silver were spent in one go.  Gone."

    Liu Zheng said: "I wouldn't dare to put it on me. Just thinking about it makes my thighs tremble."

    Wang Qi smiled and said: "Brother Liu, how can you say it is so serious?"

    Liu Zhengdao: "That's really trembling."

    Wang Qi said: "I also know about Mr. Qingxi's situation. Mr. Qingxi's full name is Zheng Yuanming. His family fell into decline in his early years, but he did not change his ambition and worked hard. He is very good in calligraphy, painting, and poetry.  It¡¯s called the Three Wonders of Poetry, Calligraphy and Painting.¡±

    "It's a pity that his attainments in poetry, calligraphy, and painting delayed his career development. Throughout his life, he was just a county magistrate, and never even served as a county prefect."

    Wang Qi said: "In the Wei Dynasty more than three hundred years ago, he was always a county magistrate."

    This is the memory in my mind.

    It¡¯s very clear.

    The Zhou Dynasty that Wang Qi traveled through did not exist in any dynasty in history. Even if you push forward, you cannot find any dynasty that is the same as the history of China. It is a completely imaginary world.

    Wang Qi is already used to it.

    Since you have come, make peace with it and live a good life.

    Liu Zheng nodded and said: "Speaking of which, Mr. Qingxi's paintings and calligraphy are indeed rare. More than thirty years ago, a painting of flowers and birds came out, but it disappeared. Now, this painting of orchid and bamboo has come out. It is so rare.  , I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s quite expensive.¡±

    Wang Qidao: "Let's wait and see."

    While the two were chatting, the guard holding the "Orchid and Bamboo Picture" had already walked around downstairs in the lobby, and then came upstairs to show it to those who were willing to appreciate it one by one.

    When he reached Wang Qi, Wang Qi waved, and the guard handed over the "Orchid and Bamboo Picture".  Wang Qi took it, looked at it carefully, and then touched the painting itself.

    He has never seen Zheng Yuanming's orchid and bamboo paintings, so he doesn't know whether they are authentic or not, but he knows the words that have been circulated based on his memory.  The inscription on this painting does not seem to be fake.

    Wang Qi touched the material of the painting again, and it felt like very old paper.  However, because Wang Qi later worked in a library, he also came into contact with some cultural relics.  In addition, the library has hundreds of years of books that he has touched.

    In terms of feel, it¡¯s a bit surprising.

    Wang Qi returned it calmly, thinking in his heart.

    Liu Zheng never touched it, as if he was afraid of damaging it.  When the guard left with the orchid and bamboo pictures, Liu Zheng saw Wang Qi in a daze, waved his hand quickly and said, "Brother Xian, what's wrong?"

    Wang Qi came back to his senses and said: "It's nothing."

    He was still thinking in his mind.

    In terms of feel, he felt something was wrong, but for a while, he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

    After everyone finished reading, the "Orchid and Bamboo Picture" returned to the hands of the old bustard.

    The madam was heavily powdered and had bright red rouge on her lips. She opened her mouth and said, "Everyone, I have already appreciated the orchid and bamboo painting. This orchid and bamboo painting was bought by me, Tianxiang Pavilion, at a great expense."

    "But the Orchid Bamboo Tu, for me, Tianxiang Pavilion, staying in Tianxiang Pavilion is a waste of natural resources."

    "Only when it is in the hands of the right person, it will be in its proper place. So today, Tianxiang Pavilion is putting it up for auction. The starting price is one thousand taels of silver. Each time the price is increased, it will not be less than one hundred taels of silver. The higher bidder will win."

    "start!"

    The madam said slightly excitedly.

    Tianxiang Pavilion obtained this orchid and bamboo painting. It was authenticated and confirmed to be authentic before being put up for auction.  After all, both the strokes of the calligraphy and the orchid and bamboo pictures are extremely exquisite, highlighting Zheng Yuanming's painting skills.

    "One thousand taels!"

    Someone in the crowd spoke.

    This is what people in the lobby on the ground floor are saying.

    "One thousand taels is too little. I, Tang Youwei, am here to make an offer. I will bid three thousand taels."

    Another fat person shouted.

    When the madam heard this, she opened her scarlet mouthWith a bright smile on his lips, he said: "Everyone, Mr. Tang is bidding three thousand taels now. Is there any higher price than this?"

    In the lobby, many people were talking.

    Tang Youwei was nearly forty years old, and he was still the son of the Tang Dynasty. Fortunately, the madam could shout out.  However, in this discussion, someone finally made a bid, directly calling for four thousand taels of silver, which was one thousand taels higher than Tang Youwei.

    Liu Zheng was very excited when he saw the excitement.  He had only heard about the Tianxiang Pavilion auction, but had never actually seen it with his own eyes.  Now that I have seen it, I am very excited.

    Wang Qi had been thinking about it and didn't care about the bidding. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he said: "I understand!"

    Liu Zheng was stunned and said: "What do you understand?"

    Wang Qi smiled but said nothing.  He turned his gaze and landed in the lobby below where the bidding was taking place.  Now the latest auction price has soared to 8,600 taels of silver, and the competition has become increasingly fierce.

    Liu Zheng was confused and didn¡¯t understand what Wang Qi was thinking.

    In fact, ever since he met Wang Qi, the previous impression of Wang Qi in his mind has completely gone away.  The Wang Qi in front of him was a very different Wang Qi. Liu Zheng couldn't fathom Wang Qi's thoughts at all.

    Liu Zheng shook his head, too lazy to guess. In a blink of an eye, he was attracted by the fierce competition.

    In this short period of time, the price has soared again and has exceeded twelve thousand taels of silver.

    This price is already very expensive.

    A painting has soared to twelve thousand taels of silver, which is a sky-high price.

    Wang Qi saw it in his eyes. He saw many people starting to wait and see. After thinking about it in his mind, he shouted directly: "Fifteen thousand taels!"

    As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked.

    Twelve thousand taels of silver have already made many people retreat, and many people are unwilling.  Suddenly, Wang Qi offered fifteen thousand taels of silver, which was shocking.

    A pair of eyes looked upstairs.

    People around also looked over.

    Many people saw Wang Qi, and instantly, someone revealed Wang Qi¡¯s identity.  Many people had previously known about the fight between Wang Qi and Chen Zhao, and knew that Wang Qi was not a simple man.

    Now that Wang Qi has taken action and spent a lot of money, they are even more surprised.

    The opening is fifteen thousand taels of silver.

    What a big deal!

    Liu Zheng sat aside, confused.

    Wang Qi bid fifteen thousand taels and actually participated in the competition.

    At this moment, Liu Zheng suddenly felt a different feeling in your circle.  In the final analysis, he is the son of a county magistrate and his family has little background.  The Wang family, where Wang Qi lives, has a rich heritage and has been a prominent family for hundreds of years.

    The madam also looked upstairs.  Because Wang Qi was close to the edge, the madam could see Wang Qi's position. She was a little surprised by Wang Qi's move and asked: "Master Wang, are you really offering fifteen thousand taels?"

    The implication is that there is still some doubt.

    After all, Wang Qi is young.

    Pairs of eyes continued to look at Wang Qi, waiting for Wang Qi's answer.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
