Chapter 369 Unidentified
Mr. Wei Zhang's painting was finally bought by President Jin of the Jewelry Guild for fifteen thousand taels.
President Kim, who was delighted with the painting, even pretended to dedicate it to King Kang.
The Fourth Young Master immediately said that he would accept it for his father.
President Jin’s face instantly turned pale with fright.
Fortunately, Prince Yong'an was a good man. He immediately scolded his brother and then said that Prince Kang's palace could not accept such an expensive gift.
If there is a chance in the future, I can go to President Jin’s place to appreciate the paintings.
President Kim was moved to tears.
He felt that it was a pity that Prince Yong'an did not become the crown prince. Otherwise, when the Prince of Yong'an succeeded the throne in the future, he would definitely be a kind prince!
The four people who were hiding in the storage room sneaked out while everyone was congratulating Chairman Jin on his masterpiece.
Uncle Xie wanted to support his nephew, so he pretended to point to a freehand landscape painting in Dadunzi and asked loudly, "This painting is very suitable to my liking. I wonder if I have to bid for it too?"
Song Yang poked his head out of the crowd and said: This is your nephew's painting. Why did you buy it? Let your nephew paint it for you!
But Chen Dongyue was the first to answer, "So that this guest will know that although Mr. Qingshan's paintings are exhibited for the first time, his brushwork is calm and majestic, and he has the style of a master."
Da Dunzi on the side heard that if he had a tail, he would be able to swing it and fly by himself.
Chen Dongyue continued: "Mr. Qingshan studied under a famous family. Although I can't say specifically which master he studied under, I believe everyone can definitely get a glimpse of it from his works~~~~"
"No, I just want to ask if it can be sold." Uncle Xie likes to get straight to the point.
“If this distinguished guest likes it, it’s not impossible to sell it~~~~” Chen Dongyue said with a smile: “I wonder which of Mr. Qingshan’s works do you like?”
In fact, Uncle Xie originally wanted to give his nephew's painting a round shape, but just now Xie Jiao said that it would be too fake if the newcomer's painting was rounded all at once.
So he pointed at a spring scene picture and said, "Just this one."
Chen Dongyue smiled and said: "Your distinguished guest is really discerning. This painting is the most expensive one among Mr. Qingshan's paintings. The asking price is one hundred taels."
"Almost~" Mr. Sun whispered to the eldest son beside him, "Although Mr. Qingshan is not famous now, it seems...
He must have a close relationship with Mr. Wei Zhang, otherwise how could it be that their paintings were so coincidentally exhibited together?
Although the painting styles of the two are different, I remember that Mr. Wei Zhang also had several freehand paintings, which were collected by some famous studies in the capital. "
Everyone who heard this nodded.
Although as a first-time seller of paintings, the price of one hundred taels is indeed very high, but Mr. Qingshan is a good painter, and secondly, he is very likely to be a student of Mr. Wei Zhang... He has a bright future... It’s limitless.
This painting still has some collection value.
So someone shouted the price: "One hundred and twenty taels, I want it."
Dadunzi was overjoyed.
Unexpectedly, besides my uncle, there are actually people willing to buy my paintings!
He really lived up to these days. He practiced day and night, and even changed his food intake from eight meals a day to three meals a day.
Xie Jiao also had red eyes.
This is the first time his big baby has been recognized by outsiders.
The old mother was so excited that her palms began to sweat.
Hearing someone shouting one hundred and twenty taels, someone else shouted: "Then I will give you one hundred and twenty-one taels."
Song Yang said softly: "I'm sorry for this distinguished guest, but in our study, we'll ask for prices at 10 per cent."
Someone burst out laughing.
The distinguished guest blushed and said, "Sorry, this is my first time bidding..."
"It's okay, it's okay," Song Yang whispered to the distinguished guest: "Next time there is an exhibition, we will send you a message. You will get familiar with it the more you come.
To be honest, this is my first time hosting an auction today, and I don’t understand many of them! Thank you all for your understanding. "
This was said very appropriately, and the distinguished guest who was originally blushing felt a lot of benefit in an instant.
The eldest son of the Sun family wanted to bid one hundred and thirty taels under Master Sun's instruction.
But I saw the strong man asking for the price in the distance, raising his right hand and saying: "Five thousand taels! This painting is mine."
Xie Jiao, who was standing on the edge, quickly took three steps away from this man.
Her third brother is crazy and she doesn't want to be near him.
Da Dunzi was even more frightened, but now everyone was staring at Uncle Xie with their mouths open, and he couldn't cover Third Uncle Xie's mouth.
So the child could only cover his face in pain.
The silence of everyone at the scene was deafening.
Everyone's doubts are visible to the naked eye.
Chen Dongyue wanted to speak to ease the stagnant atmosphere, "Dear guest, would you like to think again... After all, our price is one hundred taels."
He didn't want to thank Third Uncle but waved his hand nonchalantly, "Don't think about it. I like it hard to buy for a thousand gold, but this painting is worth five thousand taels in my heart."
"..." Chen Dongyue glanced at Uncle Xie with a speechless expression.
Uncle Xie nodded seriously to her and said, "Don't look at me, I really want to buy it."
Okay, love it! ! !
"Wrap the painting for this gentleman," Chen Dongyue waved weakly, "Please go downstairs to pay."
Third Uncle Xie happily followed Song Yang, who had a blank look on his face.
This can't be blamed on Song Yang's bad attitude. It's really the impact he received today that was too great.
You know, more than ten days ago, he was still doing business for a few cents in labor costs.
And just one morning, just one morning! ! ! The shop has already earned two thousand taels.
The difference between heaven and earth made him doubt life.
Also beginning to doubt life are the specially invited guests today.
Because after Uncle Xie bought a painting by Dadunzi, Xie Jiao also took action.
Although she was a little crazy for her son, she was not as crazy as her third brother.
Xie Jiao bought a long cursive calligraphy by Dadunzi in the name of Mrs. Zhang.
It cost two thousand taels of silver.
Everyone was shocked again.
You know, in the cultural world of the Great Rong Dynasty, copybooks were generally not as expensive as paintings.
Even if it is a real master, thousands of taels of copybooks are not easy to sell.
But Mr. Qingshan actually sold calligraphy and paintings worth 7,000 taels on the first day of the exhibition.
Who is this person? !
Jian Shanchang, who was a little aloof at first, walked back to the remaining calligraphy paintings of Dadunzi and looked at them carefully again.
"Hmm~~~~~It's indeed a bit different. This touch is green and yet rich~~~~ It's really special and rare.
The most difficult thing about writing and painting is to show your differences among universal standards.
This Mr. Qingshan really has his own style, and given time, he will definitely become everyone's favorite. "
Chen Dongyue thought to herself, money is better! !
When this thing is cheap, it is called good, but when it is expensive, it is called different.
After hearing Chief Jian Shan's analysis, everyone gathered around to take a look.
After taking a look like this, I saw a lot of secrets.
Some people say that Mr. Aoyama's paintings and calligraphy not only express his love for all things in the world, but also express his infinite enthusiasm for the Darei Mountains and Rivers.
Dadunzi: I didn’t think about it that much! ! ! !
Both the Sun family and his son and Jiang Tongpan wanted to acquire two paintings by Da Dunzi, but Chen Dongyue said that the remaining paintings would only be on display for seven days and the artist himself said that he was not ready to sell them yet.
Dadunzi:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? When did I say that! ! !
There was some regret on everyone's faces.
Some people bought Yanshan's annual paintings of flowers and birds instead.
Green mountains and rocky mountains sound like they were handed over by a gentleman.
If Qingshan has a future, maybe Yanshan can also have a future? !
Anyway, Yanshan's paintings don't exceed a hundred taels, so even if he makes a loss on the purchase, the loss won't be huge.
Everyone wandered around the study for two hours.
Before leaving, Chen Dongyue gave everyone a set of stationery supplies as promised.
Those poets who loved poetry immediately wrote several poems for Liu Yunxuan on the spot.
Although Prince Yong'an did not write a poem, he did write four words: Zhong Ling Yu Xiu.
He also said that if Chen Dongyue has any good exhibitions in the future, remember to send him a post.
But the Fourth Young Master said: "Zhan is so famous that you don't need to call me. I don't have the money to buy it, but I feel itchy after seeing it."
Chen Dongyue laughed and said, "If you like something, we can give it to you."
"Don't go back on your promise."
As soon as the Fourth Young Master finished speaking, his Third Brother threw him into the carriage.
After the distinguished guests left, Liuyunxuan was officially opened to the public.
I don’t know who told the story about several paintings that were sold for two days for tens of thousands of dollars. Almost everyone on the street knew about it.
So everyone wanted to see what those tens of thousands of taels of stuff that couldn’t be eaten or drank looked like!
Chairman Jin agreed to display Mr. Wei Zhang's paintings in the study for another three days.
But it should be written clearly on it: This painting has been bought by Jin Bingkun, the owner of Xiangrui Jewelry Store, for fifteen thousand taels.
This guy, for nothing else, just loves to show off.
By the way, he also wanted to publicize the strength of Xiangrui Jewelry Store.
Fortunately, Jin Ningfang mainly focuses on colored glaze and has little conflict with Xiangrui Jewelry Store, so President Jin doesn't have much objection to Chen Dongyue and the others.
Seeing someone who loves to be the first to do so, of course Chen Dongyue has to agree! !
So within three days, the whole Liaocheng knew that President Jin was so angry that he bought a painting worth fifteen thousand taels! !
In addition, the first time Mr. Qingshan sold a painting, he sold it for a high price of five thousand taels, which became another hot topic in the city.
But Chen Dongyue had already forgotten about the study at this moment.
Because Ci'an Tang, after a series of preparations, is finally about to open! ! !
