Da'an's best son-in-law

"The fragments of the scroll"

Wei Qing withdrew his gaze and suddenly became a little less interested.

If it is not an authentic work, the value of the collection will be greatly discounted. If you collect a semi-finished product, you will inevitably feel a little confused in the future.

"I won't give it a try." Seeing Wei Qing's reaction, Ye Chen said with a smile.

"No, no, I don't have much money saved on weekdays, but I can't spend it all on these half paintings." Wei Qing shook his head and replied like a rattle.

In fact, for collectors, both the fragment and the original have their own unique value, so Dong Shan said that the fragment may not be inferior to the original.

For people like Wei Qing, the incompleteness of the incomplete scroll will inevitably cause resentment in their hearts, but for some people, the incomplete scroll just enhances the value of the painting.

For example, the burning "Mona Lisa" may be more precious and beautiful than the intact "Mona Lisa" preserved in the Louvre Museum in Paris.

It was a pity that Ye Chen had no intention of fighting for it, whether it was the original or the fragment.

In his previous life, he went to learn about antiques and vision, just to experience the fun of searching for real treasures in those antique stalls.

After all, the process of getting something is often happier than actually having it.

As for imitating those arty literati and using their free money to fight for a fragment of a scroll, I'm sorry, but Ye Chen really has no interest. This amount of money is enough for him and Lian'er to have several meals of refreshments.

"The remaining scroll of "Jiangnan Three Thousand", the starting price is one thousand five hundred taels!" Dong Shan's powerful voice sounded again on the stage.

Compared to the frantic atmosphere just now, everyone's expressions were much calmer at this time, and they began to debate the true meaning of this fragment.

Compared with the original, the meaning and value of the fragment must be greatly discounted, but for the imitation they just considered, the significance of the fragment is also much greater.

No matter how fragmentary the scroll is, every single stroke on it is Wu Daozi's original work and cannot be faked. It's just that they need to carefully grasp the price and extent of reselling.

"One thousand six hundred taels!"

After the auction venue was silent for a while, someone in the audience raised the plaque in their hands and began to tentatively increase the price.

"One thousand, seven hundred taels!"

"One thousand nine hundred taels!"

The price of "Three Thousands of Jiangnan" is still rising rapidly at an extremely impressive rate. After all, it was written by Wu Daozi. Even if it is a fragment, its value is not comparable to that of ordinary paintings.

Dong Shan on the stage recorded every price increase and competition from the people in the audience, smiling broadly. If this trend continues, the price of this scrap will probably be higher than the sum of all the antiques just now.

As the price increase reached fever pitch, Ye Chen suddenly started taking action for the second time today.

"Two thousand five hundred taels!"

Wei Qing was unprepared when Ye Chen suddenly raised the plaque next to him. He was immediately frightened. After he came to his senses, he said in a daze: "Brother Chen, didn't you say you have nothing to do with this fragment?" Are you interested? Why the sudden price increase?"

Ye Chen suddenly raised the price by [-] taels, which was quite impressive. But if no one raised the price again, he would probably lose this scrap.

Moreover, judging from the atmosphere on the field, everyone was really frightened by Ye Chen's sudden increase of [-] taels, and no one increased the price again for a while.

"Brother Xiao, this..." The children of the Ye family asked in embarrassment when they saw Ye Chen suddenly fighting for the fragment.

"Don't raise the price yet. It's just a fragment. Grandpa's library is full of complete authentic works. There are no fragments yet. If I give it to him, he may not like it."

Ye Xiao ordered the Ye family disciples behind him.

With their financial resources, it is not difficult to get this fragment, but if they spend three thousand taels of silver for this fragment, it would be too much and not worth it.

As a much-watched and favored son of the Ye family, he had a lot of private money, but he also spent a lot on daily management, so there was no need to put too much energy into this gift.

However, how could the person who always acted submissively in the Ye family and had no courage to talk to him in front of him suddenly become like this...

Noticing Ye Chen's calm and calm expression, which seemed not to be affected by the gaze on him at all, Ye Xiao's eyebrows wrinkled without a trace.

This is not the brother he remembered...

"Uncle, don't be so brave. Do you still have money?" Lian'er was also startled by Ye Chen's lion's big mouth and said anxiously.

She thought that Ye Chen had lost face in the fight with Su Yunan just now, and now he suddenly took action to regain some face.

"Shh, don't talk, don't be anxious, just watch." Ye Chen made a silencing gesture towards Lian'er and said

The confident look on Ye Chen's face made Lian'er look at the former with some suspicion, but in the end she remained miserable and silent.

If I spend so much money to buy a broken scroll, my uncle will be a pauper again...

Seeing the silence in the audience, Ye Chen also smiled complacently, as if the fragment was already in his possession.

A joking voice came from the front again: "Three thousand taels"

The eyes of the audience suddenly turned, and sure enough they found that the bidder was Su Yunan, who had just caused Ye Chen to lose more than three hundred taels of silver for no reason.

At this time, the former was still playing with the fine folding fan in his hand, with a nonchalant look on his face.

The corners of Ye Chen's mouth twitched slightly, and his expression slowly darkened: "Three thousand five hundred taels"

"Four thousand taels" Su Yunan said jokingly again without raising his head.

"Four thousand five hundred taels"

"Five thousand taels!"

Five thousand......two?

When everyone in the venue heard this astronomical figure, their jaws were almost dropped. They all cast sympathetic glances at Ye Chen. After being disrupted and teased by Su Yunan over and over again, anyone else would have scolded Ye Chen at this moment. .

That is to say, when everyone's eyes were sympathetically cast on Ye Chen, Ye Chen suddenly smiled sarcastically and said lightly: "I just called you casually, since Brother Su is so persistent, how can I win people's love... ..."

There was an uproar.

Well, all Ye Chen's actions just now turned out to be to lure Su Yunan into action, so that the former could be the real villain.

Su Yunan's joking face suddenly looked like he had eaten a dead fly, and he said word by word: "Brother Ye Chen is really good at it."

Hearing the gnashing of teeth coming from Su Yunan's mouth, Ye Chen helplessly shrugged, "Brother Su, can't you afford it?"

Under the gaze of everyone in the audience, although Su Yunan's heart was already furious, he still kept smiling and said calmly: "It's only five thousand taels, but I, Su Yunan, haven't taken it seriously yet."

Having said that, everyone present could see that Su Yunan's expression at this moment was uglier than when Ye Chen was messed up just now.

Five thousand taels...to buy a scrap that he didn't need. Even if Su Yunan had plenty of money, he might have to bleed heavily this time.

If you want to report a grudge on the spot, Ye Chen from the Wei family is really cruel in his methods...
