The strongest Marquis in history

While talking, the bustard looked at Wang Qi again, after all, there were no other bidders at the moment.

That is Chen Zhao and Wang Qi.

Wang Qi shook his head and chuckled.

Chen Zhao was a man who apologized and subdued in front of him before, but now he is arguing with him again.

After all, there is a sense of injustice.

Wang Qi stood up, walked to the side of the corridor, leaned on the railing, and looked into the lobby.At this time, pairs of eyes followed suit, all sizing up Wang Qi, with curious eyes, envious eyes, and more mocking eyes.

In their view, Wang Qi is a fool.

It cost 5000 taels to buy a pair of orchid and bamboo pictures, but it was useless at all.

Wang Qi didn't take it seriously, and continued: "Chen Zhao, you are from a wealthy family anyway, the price increase of 500 taels is really boring! Buy it now, 500 taels of silver, do you dare?"

boom! !

There was an uproar in the lobby.

All of them showed astonishment, shock, and weird expressions on their faces, and many people even talked endlessly.

2 taels of silver.

Raising such a high price at one time is simply a super prodigal.

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 know that Wang Qi is a scheming and ruthless person.From the looks of it now, he was also a profligate and ruthless person.

No, it should 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 raise the price, he would pressure Wang Qi to buy the Lanzhu Tu.He can take out just over 1 silver.

The problem is that now, Wang Qi did not play cards according to common sense, and he raised it to [-] in one breath. He immediately sat on the wax, neither advancing nor retreating.

The madam didn't care about the fight between Wang Qi and Chen Zhao, the price was [-], she was very happy.The old bustard looked at Chen Zhao and said, "Mr. Chen, Mr. Wang bid [-] yuan. Would you like to bid again?"

A pair of eyes fell on Chen Zhao.

They are all curious.

All of them looked like gossips, and many people wanted to speak out for Chen Zhao and continue to follow.

That's the fun!

Chen Zhao was unwilling, he opened his mouth, and finally said: "Wang Qi, [-] silver can buy a pair of "Orchid and Bamboo Picture", only a prodigal like you can do it."

Wang Qi said disdainfully: "For those who don't understand orchid and bamboo pictures, a penny is too much. To those who understand orchid and bamboo pictures, even ten thousand gold is not too expensive. This orchid and bamboo picture, my son 2 taels of silver is worth it."

Chen Zhao snorted and said no more.

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

The scene was silent, and no one bid.

The old bustard took a deep breath and said loudly: "I hereby announce that the person who got the "Orchid and Bamboo Picture" is Mr. Wang. Congratulations, Mr. Wang, you bought the orchid and bamboo picture at a price of 2 taels of silver."

Wang Qi nodded and returned to his seat.

The old bustard said something else below, then came upstairs in person, led Wang Qi away, and sat down in an elegant room on the second floor.

The old bustard looked at Wang Qi, and said with a smile: "My lord, the orchid and bamboo map is here. Regarding the money you bought for the orchid and bamboo map, when and how will you give it to Tianxiang Pavilion?"

Wang Qi smiled and said, "If I say that I have no money and can't afford 2 taels of silver, what will you do?"

The madam twitched her cheeks.

No money?

What do you bid for without money?

Fortunately, the old bustard has seen the storm, even though he was very dissatisfied, there was still a smile on his face covered with powder, and he said softly: "Young Master Wang is joking, the Wang family has countless assets, just 2 taels of silver, not enough Strange."

Wang Qi shook his head and said, "I really don't have 2 taels of silver. Of course, even if I have, I don't intend to pay."

brush!

The bustard's complexion changed drastically.

A pair of smiling eyes instantly became indifferent, even revealing a strong anger.

The old bustard said coldly: "My lord, during the auction earlier, I asked you if I could pay enough silver. At that time, your answer was no problem. Therefore, I allowed you to participate in the auction."

"Now, you say you don't have 2 taels of silver. You even let it go, even if you have it, you won't give it."

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

The old bustard said: "My old man has heard about the family background of Mr. Wang. Your Wang family in Yuyang County is a family from Youzhou, and has enough strength. Your father Wang Zongxi is also the prefect of Yuyang County. He is very powerful and can be called a tiger general of the Zhou Dynasty."

"But, this is not your capital for humiliating me, Tianxiang Pavilion."

"Tianxiang Pavilion has been established for more than ten years. Over the years, some people have come to Tianxiang Pavilion to provoke troubles, some have defaulted on their debts, and some have come to bully them. Without exception, these people have paid a heavy price, and even lost money. life."

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

At this moment, the bustard is showing strength.

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

Even if the trouble came in front of Wang Zongxi, Wang Qi didn't take it for granted.So at this moment, the old bustard is not stage-frightened at all, even when facing the son of the family, she still has a tough attitude.

Chapter 13 You Have To Thank Me

Wang Qi still looked calm and composed. He said calmly: "To be honest, I really don't plan to pay. If I don't pay, you have to thank me."

The old bustard had a tough attitude, but when he heard Wang Qi's words, he immediately became furious.

Too arrogant.

She received countless people, and it was the first time she met Wang Qi who was so sassy and so righteous.

The old bustard is also a careful person, after pondering over Wang Qi's words, he found that there was something in it, so he suppressed his anger, lowered his posture, and asked, "My lord, what do you mean by saying that the concubine should thank you?"

Wang Qidao: "It's very simple, your painting of orchid and bamboo is a fake, not the real one by Mr. Qingxi."

"impossible!"

The old bustard didn't even think about it, and said decisively: "In the Xiangge, there are many masters who are good at connoisseurship. This picture of orchid and bamboo is collected after careful appreciation. This picture of orchid and bamboo must be true."

Wang Qi didn't speak for a moment.

A casual look.

Seeing that Wang Qi didn't speak, the old bustard frowned, obviously Wang Qi was sitting on the ground and raising the price.The old bustard can bend and stretch, after all, if she is in a brothel, if she wants to be shameless, her life will be difficult.

The old bustard smiled and said slowly: "My lord, what is going on? Please tell me clearly, my lord."

Wang Qi still did not speak.

The old bustard said again: "As long as the master's identification is true, as long as the orchid and bamboo map is proven to be a fake, Tianxiang Pavilion will not take any money, but will give you a thousand taels of silver. What do you think?"

Wang Qi sneered: "It's a huge Tianxiang Pavilion, and there are many branches of Tianxiang Pavilion in Youzhou, so it has a profound heritage. Now I'm restoring the reputation of Tianxiang Pavilion, is it worth this money?"

A cold light flashed across the old bustard's eyes.

If it wasn't for the fact that Wang Qi came from a family with a different status, she would have planned to take down Wang Qi without giving this picture of orchid and bamboo.Anyway, if the orchid and bamboo pictures don't spread, everything will be fine.

The old bustard took a deep breath to suppress the ups and downs in his heart.At this moment, the bustard suddenly understood Chen Zhao's feelings, Wang Qi was really difficult to deal with.

The old bustard leaned forward slightly, exposing her plump chest, and said, "My lord, how about 5000 taels?"

Wang Qi glanced at the procuress, and said, "If I were about the same age as you, with your figure, maybe I would be envious. Once you are old, stop being coquettish in front of me, it's disgusting!"

"you……"

The old bustard was furious.

She really wanted to tear Wang Qi's mouth apart, and tricked her into finding out about Lan Zhutu.

The procuress suppressed the unknown fire, and said again: "Young Master Wang, as long as you explain clearly why the orchid and bamboo picture is a fake, Tianxiang Pavilion will give you 5000 taels of silver, and let Li Xiangjun accompany you for a night, how about it?"

Li Xiangjun is the oiran of Tianxiang Pavilion.

I have always sold my art but not my body.

When Wang Qi heard the procuress's condition, he shook his head and said: "Li Xiangjun's company is nothing more than a bone-scraping knife. I'm young, so it's better not to mess with me. What's more, the more beautiful a woman is, the more troublesome she is. Don't mess with it."

When the old bustard heard Wang Qi's words, she was even more afraid of Wang Qi.A man is not lustful, and has a deep scheming mind, has the city, the courage, and even the wrist.

Especially thick-skinned and smelly mouth, such a man is not simple.

Today's Wang Qi changed the old bustard's impression greatly.

The old bustard took a deep breath and said solemnly: "What would you like to say, Mr. Wang?"

Wang Qidao: "My lord is not short of money. But today, I took pictures of orchids and bamboos, which preserved the reputation of Tianxiang Pavilion, which can be said to have helped Tianxiang Pavilion a lot. Now, I appreciate the pictures of orchids and bamboos. Tianxiang Pavilion owes me a favor." , what do you think?"

The bustard was silent for a while.

The favor owed by Tianxiang Pavilion is of great value, far beyond what can be compared with thousands of taels of silver.Even the bustard was more willing to clearly mark the price and settle the money directly with Wang Qi.

Unfortunately, Wang Qi was unwilling.

The old bustard thought about it, and said slowly: "Just as the prince said."

Wang Qi said: "Bring the orchid and bamboo picture."

The old bustard immediately handed over the orchid and bamboo picture, Wang Qi took it in his hand, spread it out and said: "This orchid and bamboo picture, just looking at the painting or the words on the painting, really can't find any flaws, enough False and real. Even the ups and downs of the strokes of the pen, and the display of the bamboo's bones and muscles, there is no flaw at all, and they are already similar, or exactly the same."

The bustard nodded.

As the bustard of Tianxiang Pavilion, she naturally has some eyesight.

The orchid and bamboo picture is really Zheng Yuanming's style.

Wang Qi continued: "At that time, when you asked people to hold the orchid and bamboo painting for appreciation, I touched the material. It stands to reason that the paper texture and color of this orchid and bamboo painting look like they are more than three hundred years old. The previous ones have experienced the baptism of time."

"But the means of making old, after all, there are flaws and flaws."

Wang Qi said: "I'm not proficient in making old things, so I won't show off. But this painting and calligraphy has an obvious shortcoming. The paper used for this painting and calligraphy is high-quality bamboo paper, which is made of bamboo."

The old bustard said: "Is there any problem with bamboo paper? When Mr. Qingxi was alive, bamboo paper was already produced. Therefore, it is not a problem for Mr. Qingxi to use bamboo paper to paint."

Wang Qi laughed and explained: "Actually, this is exactly the problem. Bamboo paper appeared only three hundred years ago, and a few years earlier, there was no bamboo paper, but paper made of other materials."

"Mr. Qingxi Zheng Yuanming has a characteristic, that is, he paints in the first half of his life and writes poems in the second half. Zheng Yuanming's wife is good at commenting on paintings, so when Zheng Yuanming's wife was alive, he often painted."

"The orchid and bamboo pictures in history were drawn by Zheng Yuanming's wife when she was alive."

"Zheng Yuanming was about 40 years old, and his wife died of illness. For more than [-] years, Zheng Yuanming did not paint a single painting, but many poems lamenting decadence came out. Anyone looking for a literati should ask clearly about this."

Wang Qi said: "If you carefully study the time of bamboo paper, it only appeared in large quantities in Zheng Yuanming's later years. To be precise, the detailed information was verified and it appeared ten years before Zheng Yuanming's death. Therefore, this painting is real. ?"

The situation of Zhuzhi and Zheng Yuanming came from Wang Qi's memory.Speaking of it, although the owner is simple, but because he comes from a family with a solid foundation and excellent homework, he can provide Wang Qi with convenience.

The bustard understood after listening.

This picture of orchid and bamboo has a paper texture that can only be made at the peak of bamboo paper manufacturing technology.It can be inferred from this that the orchid and bamboo pictures are naturally fakes.

She sighed and said, "I didn't expect it to be like this. Such a simple logic has not been discovered."

At this moment, the bustard felt very sorry.

Of course, thanks to Wang Qi's discovery, otherwise Tianxiang Pavilion will really lose face this time.

Wang Qidao: "Actually, this is a matter of common sense, because many people don't know about it."

The old bustard solemnly said: "My lord, I don't want to thank you for your kindness. This time, I, Tianxiang Pavilion, owe you a favor."

Wang Qi said: "Can I go?"

The old bustard followed suit, and she said, "My lord, the door of my Tianxiang Pavilion is open for you at any time. You can come to Tianxiang Pavilion anytime, and every response is free. You are my distinguished guest of Tianxiang Pavilion."

Wang Qi smiled and said, "Cheer up."

The old bustard walked for a while, then turned and left, because she had to deal with Lan Zhutu's affairs.

Wang Qi returned to the previous private seat, Liu Zheng looked at Wang Qi, and praised: "My dear brother, you are so powerful, I admire you. With a wave of your hand, you get 2 taels of silver. This courage is admirable."

Wang Qi said: "It's a trivial matter."

He really made a lot of money by coming to Tianxiang Pavilion this time, because Tianxiang Pavilion owed him a favor this time.If something happens in the future, Tianxiang Pavilion can provide him with the necessary information.
