    Wang Qi smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Of course it's fifteen thousand taels. How can you tell lies in front of everyone."

    The old bustard was worried and reminded: "Master Wang, you must be clear that once the deal is concluded, if you cannot pay enough money, I, Tianxiang Pavilion, will never give up. Although Tianxiang Pavilion is not a big force, it is still a powerful force in Youhu.  Within the state, there are some means.¡±

    Wang Qi glanced sideways and said: "It's only fifteen thousand taels of silver, which is not surprising. Do I, the Wang family's rich Youzhou family, still care about this little money? What's more, now that I'm offering fifteen thousand taels, you should thank me  .¡±

    Facing the madam, he was neither humble nor overbearing.

    There is no hint of cowardice.

    The old bustard looked in the direction of Wang Qi and saw that Wang Qi was still determined, so he said no more.

    What should be said, she has already said.

    The old bustard turned his eyes, looked at everyone in the lobby, and said loudly: "Everyone, for this "Orchid and Bamboo Picture", the prince has offered fifteen thousand taels, but is there a higher price?"

    In the lobby, many people were silent.

    "It's just that when many people look at Wang Qi, there is a hint of ridicule in their eyes, because for some businessmen, they spend thousands of taels of silver to buy orchid and bamboo paintings to improve their taste.

    But it¡¯s not worth spending tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy back an orchid and bamboo painting.

    Seeing that no one was speaking, the old bustard said: "Since no one bids again, then I announce"

    "Fifteen thousand five hundred taels."

    At this moment, someone suddenly shouted loudly.

    The old bustard was familiar with the people who came to Tianxiang Pavilion. When he saw the person shouting, he smiled and said: "It turns out to be Mr. Chen Zhao. Mr. Chen bids fifteen thousand five hundred taels. Is there a higher price?"

    As he spoke, the Madam looked at Wang Qi again. After all, there was no one else bidding at the moment.

    ?That is, Chen Zhao and Wang Qi.

    Wang Qi shook his head and chuckled.

    Chen Zhao, this person, had apologized and softened in front of him before, but now he was quarreling with him again.

    After all, the heart is uneven.

    Wang Qi stood up, walked to the corridor, leaned on the railing, and looked towards the lobby.  At this time, pairs of eyes also looked over, sizing up Wang Qi. Some looked at him curiously, some looked at him with admiration, and some looked at him with ridicule.

    In their opinion, Wang Qi is a fool.

    I spent 15,000 taels on an orchid and bamboo painting, but it was of no use at all.

    Wang Qi didn't take it seriously and continued: "Chen Zhao, after all, you are from a well-off family. The price increase of 500 taels and 500 taels is really boring! The fixed price is 20,000 taels of silver. Do you dare?"

    Boom!  !

    There was an uproar in the lobby.

    Every face showed surprise, shock, and weird expressions, and many people even talked endlessly.

    Twenty thousand taels of silver.

    Raising such a high price at once is simply a waste of money.

    Many people shook their heads directly, and their evaluation of Wang Qi was even worse.  Although I heard the conversation between Chen Zhao and Wang Qi before, I knew that Wang Qi was a cruel and scheming person.  Now it seems that he is also a ruthless person who spends extravagantly.

    No, he must be a lunatic.

    Chen Zhao¡¯s expression also changed again and again.

    Chen Zhao¡¯s original plan was to disgust Wang Qi. Of course, if Wang Qi didn¡¯t increase the price, he would buy the orchid and bamboo painting over Wang Qi.  He could get away with just over 10,000 silver.

    The problem is that now, Wang Qi does not follow the common sense and raises the price to 20,000 in one breath. He is suddenly in a dilemma. He can neither advance nor retreat, but cannot advance or retreat.

    The old madam didn¡¯t care about the fight between Wang Qi and Chen Zhao. The price reached 20,000 yuan, and she was happy in her heart.  The old bustard looked at Chen Zhao and said, "Mr. Chen, Mr. Wang has offered 20,000 yuan. Do you want to bid again?"

    A pair of eyes fell on Chen Zhao.

    They are all curious.

    ??Every one of them looked like gossip, and many people wanted to continue shouting for Chen Zhao.

    That¡¯s so exciting!

    Chen Zhao was unwilling to do so. He opened his mouth and finally said, "Wang Qi, only a prodigal like you can buy a copy of "Orchid and Bamboo" for twenty thousand silver."

    Wang Qi said disdainfully: "For those who don't understand the orchid and bamboo pictures, one penny is too much. For those who understand the orchid and bamboo pictures, even ten thousand gold is not too expensive. This orchid and bamboo picture, my master  It¡¯s worth twenty thousand taels of silver.¡±

    Chen Zhao snorted and said no more.

    The old bustard looked around at the crowd again and asked: "Everyone, are there anyone who wants to bid?"

    nowThere was silence, no more bids were made.

    The old madam took a deep breath and said loudly: "I hereby announce that the person who obtained the "Orchid and Bamboo Picture" is the prince. Congratulations to the prince, for purchasing the orchid and bamboo picture at the price of 20,000 taels of silver."

    Wang Qi nodded and returned to his seat.

    The old madam said something more below, then came upstairs in person, led Wang Qi away, and sat down in a private room on the second floor.

    The old bustard looked at Wang Qi and said with a smile: "Master Wang, here is the orchid and bamboo picture. Regarding the silver you purchased for the orchid and bamboo picture, when and how will you give it to us at Tianxiang Pavilion?"

    Wang Qi smiled and said, "What would you do if I said I had no money and couldn't come up with 20,000 taels of silver?"

    The madam¡¯s cheeks twitched.

    No money?

    ??What do you bid for if you don¡¯t have money?

    Fortunately, the old bustard has seen the wind and waves. Even though he was very dissatisfied, he still had a smile on his pink face and said softly: "Young Master Wang is joking. The Wang family has countless assets. A mere twenty thousand taels of silver is not enough."  Strange."

    Wang Qi shook his head and said, "I really don't have 20,000 taels of silver. Of course, even if I did, I wouldn't pay."

    brush!

    The face of the old bustard changed drastically.

    A pair of smiling eyes instantly became cold and even filled with anger.

    The old bustard said coldly: "Master Wang, during the auction earlier, I asked you whether you could pay enough silver. Your answer at that time was that it was no problem. Therefore, I allowed you to participate in the auction."

    "Now, you say you don't have 20,000 taels of silver. You even lied that even if you did, you wouldn't give me the money."

    "Could it be that you think that I, Tianxiang Pavilion, are easy to bully?"

    The old bustard said: "I have heard about Mr. Wang's family background. Your royal family in Yuyang County is a Youzhou family and has sufficient strength. Your Majesty Wang Zongxi is also the prefect of Yuyang County. He has outstanding strength and can be called a tiger general of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

    "But, this is not your ability to humiliate me, Tianxiang Pavilion."

    "It has been more than ten years since Tianxiang Pavilion was established. Over the years, some people have come to Tianxiang Pavilion to provoke and look for trouble, some have defaulted on debts, and some have been bullied. Without exception, these people have paid a heavy price and even lost money.  life."

    The old bustard said: "Master Wang, please think twice."

    At this moment, the madam showed her strength.

    The Wang family is very strong, this is a fact.  Tianxiang Pavilion is not weak either.  Especially for this incident, in the view of the old bustard, the responsibility lies entirely with Wang Qi, not Tianxiang Pavilion.

    Even if it comes to Wang Zongxi, Wang Qi will not take any account of it.  Therefore, the Madam didn't have any stage fright at this moment. Even when facing the young master of aristocratic family, she still had a tough attitude.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
