Master of Rebirth

The shopkeeper of Gu Baozhai was thoughtful, and it didn't take long for Wang Qi to send a stack of bank notes.After packing the bank notes, Wang Qi waited for a while before returning to the private room.When he arrived, Wang Long had already bought several pieces of antique jade.

"Brother, why have you been away for so long? Could it be that you have eaten up your stomach?" Looking up and seeing Wang Qi coming back, Wang Long asked pretending to be concerned.

"I was afraid that my second brother didn't have enough silver, so I went to Yinzhuang to get some more." Wang Qi said.

Wang Long looked at the bulging purse at his waist, and said in his heart: "It seems that Wang Qi really spent a lot of money this time to please Third Uncle, so it's even more impossible for me to let him do what he wants."

Glancing at Wang Long's selection, Wang Qi casually picked up a piece of Yu Ruyi, and said indifferently, "Second brother has already selected so many things."

Wang Long said proudly: "I thought that since I came out, I would also buy some gifts for my family members. Jade can support people, so I will give this Ruyi jade to grandma. What do you think, big brother?"

Taking a closer look at Yu Ruyi in her hand, Wang Qi actually smiled.

Although the jade material is of the upper layer and the workmanship is fine, it was carved recently.Although this kind of jade can be obtained, it is not a novelty.It's a bit embarrassing to put it in an antique shop.Perhaps it was Dong Jue who had caught Wang Long's intention to invite pets in front of his third uncle, and took the opportunity to sell some tasteless things in the store to him.

Seeing Wang Qi holding Yu Ruyi and not speaking, thinking that he was showing timidity, Wang Long finally regained a sense of wealth and wealth, and continued: "There is also that tea set, which costs 1 taels of silver. What do you think, big brother?"

Wang Qi put down Yu Ruyi, went to look at the porcelain Wang Long said, and just nodded: "Well, not bad."

With these words, Wang Long acquiesced that Wang Qi had conceded the defeat, and he was very satisfied in his heart, feeling that the round had been won.These odds and ends have already cost him nearly 2 taels of silver. Although his heart is bleeding, Wang Long thinks it is worth it when he thinks that he can overshadow Wang Qi's limelight.

Wang Yao couldn't put it down for that tea set, and said to Dong Jue, "I didn't expect Nephew Dong Xian to have such a high-quality tea set here."

"My lord Wang, I am honored. It is my nephew's honor to have the things in the shop that you admire." Dong Jue paused and began to dig a hole: "Mr. Wang is really lucky to have two such filial nephews. Yesterday Qiong Ju My brother just spent 10 taels to buy Wang Xizhi's "Quick Snow and Sunshine Post". Today, the second brother Wang spent another 1 taels to buy this set of tea sets to honor you. Although money does not represent the heart, in many cases the heart is only Only silver can reflect it."

"Brother spent 10 taels of silver?" Wang Long's complacent heart was chilled by Dong Jue's words, "Brother Dong, you said that piece of paper is worth 10 taels?"

"That's not true." Dong Jue lied and didn't make a draft, but he boasted loudly: "The lord in the county offered 50 taels, and I wouldn't be willing to sell it. If it wasn't for Brother Qiongju saying that Lord Wang likes it, I would I wouldn't sell it to him, brother Qiongju doesn't have that much face."

Wang Yao said cheerfully, "Xizhi's authentic works can be worth so much money."

1 taels of silver are naturally nothing compared to 10 taels.Wang Long's teeth itched angrily. He never expected that Wang Qi would be able to give out so much money without making a sound.It seems that the uncle left him a lot of money after his death.

"Second brother is too hasty to buy things." As if thinking that Wang Long was not angry enough, Wang Qi continued to add to the anger, "Brother Wushuang has a lot of good things here, but he hasn't brought them out yet. Second brother must Don't spend all your money, or you will be left to sigh when something good comes out."

Ignoring Wang Qi's words, Wang Long snorted coldly and said, "Brother Dong, you are not kind, if you have any good things, hurry up and bring them up, don't hide them."

"Second Master Wang is really quick to talk." Dong Jue said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, I really got a few good things recently, but I haven't dared to take them out. Since Mr. Wang is here in person, I must show them to you. .”

"What's the fuss about that, why don't you hurry up and show it to my third uncle." Wang Long said.

Dong Jue took out the scroll by himself instead of laboring.After carefully unfolding the long scroll, Dong Jue said, "Master Wang, please have a look."

Since Gu Baozhai can produce Wang Xizhi's "Quick Snow and Sunny Post", it can naturally produce other good things, Wang Yao dare not neglect, and hastily walked up to it.Just glanced at it, and threw all my heart into the painting.

Dong Jue was very knowledgeable about current affairs and didn't say much. After Wang Yao looked at the painting carefully, he said, "Master Wang, what do you think of this painting?"

"I didn't expect, I really didn't expect that I would be able to see Gu Kaizhi's "Admonitions of Women's History" in my lifetime." Wang Yao was full of admiration after confirming that the painting was probably authentic.

"I have heard for a long time that Gu Kaizhi is good at using the high ancient silk painting. The brushwork is like spring silkworms spinning silk, spring clouds floating in the sky, and flowing water running on the ground. The style of this painting is simple and simple, only a little color is applied on the hair and skirt of the characters, soft and lingering. It does have a special charm." Wang Qi talked eloquently, commenting on the picture clearly and logically.

Wang Yao praised: "That's right, I didn't expect Qi'er to understand Gu Kaizhi, it's really rare. Today's young people, few people can settle down to study these things."

"Third Uncle won the prize."

Seeing that the two were chatting enthusiastically, but they couldn't understand a word, Wang Long was anxious, so he could only insert a few words indiscriminately, trying to attract Wang Yao's attention.It's a pity that what he said was completely wrong. At first, Wang Yao was patient and perfunctory, but in the end, he didn't bother to answer.

This "Picture of Admonitions of Female History" is a rare and famous painting, which is hard to find.Because the emperor of the current dynasty loved calligraphy and painting, in order to curry favor with the emperor, celebrity calligraphy and painting have always been items that the elites in Beijing have been vying for.Naturally, Wang Yao knew the value of this painting, and when he had finished enjoying it, he asked the price nervously.

Wang Long waited for a long time, thinking that he finally had a chance to show his talents, he hurriedly said to Dong Jue: "Second Master Dong, my third uncle likes this painting, just tell me how much it is, and I won't treat you badly."

"This painting is much more expensive than that "Quick Snow and Sunshine Post". The second young master is going to bleed a lot." Dong Jue half-jokingly said.

Although I feel sorry for Yinzi, I have to suppress Wang Qi no matter what.Although he was extremely unwilling, Wang Long still stuck his neck and said: "Look at what you said, even if the things my third uncle likes are sold out, I have to buy them to honor his old man."

Although he knew that Wang Feng would definitely get the money in the end, Wang Long's words were too much, but Wang Yao was still very relieved.No matter what, as long as the juniors have this heart.

Looking at Wang Yao's satisfied smiling face, Wang Long finally felt that the gas stuck in his chest was a little easier.

It's a pity that before he could be proud, Dong Jue's words completely frightened him half to death, "That's right, 20 taels of silver is nothing but pocket money to Second Young Master Wang."

"That's it!... What?" Thinking he had heard it wrong, Wang Long said in disbelief, "20 taels of silver? Brother Dong, are you kidding me? That Shiqing post is only 10 taels."

"Hey, Mr. Wang's words are wrong. Let's not care about the artistic value first, but look at the most real ones. How big is the "Quick Snow and Sunny Post", and how big is the "Nv Shi Zhen Tu". You have to count the money according to the ruler. "Nvshi Zhentu" is more than ten times bigger than "Quick Snow and Sunny Post". I only charged you twice as much money, which is already very face-saving." Dong Jue smiled and fooled: "The ancients said that a single word is worth a lot of money. There are quite a few words on this "Nv Shi Zhen Tu", not to mention there are paintings on it. After such a careful calculation, how much should I charge?"

Wang Qi secretly praised in her heart: "Although the words are rough, the reasoning is not rough. Dong Jue is really eloquent, and Wang Long, who is definitely angry, has nothing to say."

Looking at the long scroll in front of him, it is indeed much larger than that copybook.Wang Long was really speechless.

Seeing that Wang Long was silent, Dong Jue looked at Wang Yao and asked, "Master Wang, do you think this painting is worth 20 taels?"

Hearing that his bid was so high, Wang Yao's expression was not good, but looking at the painting in front of him, he couldn't say anything worthless, he just said: "It's worth it, but..."

"Master Wang, Gu Kaizhi's paintings are priceless, let alone 20 taels, even millions of taels are willing to be paid." Dong Jue paused, and put a hat on Wang Long with malicious intentions: "The Wang family is the richest man in our county, and the young masters of the Wang family are all filial. How could such money be noticed, right, the second son of the Wang family?"

He wanted to be brave, but 20 taels of silver was equivalent to a year's harvest of all the shops of the Wang family, as if Mount Tai was overwhelmed.

"Although it's worth it, 20 taels of silver is indeed..." Knowing that Dong Jue was telling the truth, but also knowing that Wang Long definitely didn't take so much silver, Wang Yao felt very reluctant and really embarrassed.

Dong Jue continued to work hard, and continued: "Don't look at the painting in a hurry, Mr. Wang, how about you look at this picture again?" After speaking, Dong Jue took out another picture.

"It turned out to be Wang Xianzhi's "Mid-Autumn Posts." Thinking that he was delusional, Wang Yao checked it many times before expressing his sincere admiration.

Seeing that it was time to close the net, Wang Qi gave Dong Jue a wink.

Dong Jue understood, and hurriedly said: "As the saying goes, it is easy to get a daughter, but hard to find a friend. Mr. Wang is an elegant person, and my nephew does not want these two famous paintings to fall into the hands of ordinary people and ruin good things. How about this, 25 yuan Two silver coins, the "Picture of Admonitions for Women's History" and this "Mid-Autumn Post" are all yours. Master Wang, what do you think?"

In this way, Dong Jue has sold a lot of face.For a while, Wang Yao didn't know what to say.

Wang Qi was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled heartily: "Dong Jue really deserves to be in business, he killed a good price, not only 5 taels more than they expected, but also let the second uncle and the others feel how cheap they are. Same."

"That's it." Before Wang Yao could speak, Wang Qi made a final decision and said, "Brother Wushuang, I will pay the 25 taels. But I came out in a hurry today, and I didn't bring enough money. This is 15 taels. You put it away first. The rest will be delivered to you tomorrow."

After Wang Qi finished speaking, she untied the bulging money bag at her waist and was about to hand it to Dong Jue.

"Don't be so troublesome, I'll pay for the money." Wang Long was still hesitating at first, but when he saw Wang Qi speak, he immediately rushed to claim the credit, "Brother Dong, I'll send someone to pick up the bank note for you right now, 25 taels, definitely Inevitably."

Seeing that Wang Long took the bait, Dong Jue didn't hesitate, and said directly: "So, thank you, Second Young Master Wang."

"Long'er, it's costing you." Wang Yao hugged the calligraphy and painting, smiling from ear to ear.

Although Wang Long was suffering in his heart, he still had to pretend: "Everything should be done."

It was unavoidable that the night was long and dreamy, so Dong Jue immediately sent someone to follow Wang Long's servant to collect the silver ticket.Gu Baozhai's servant was quick on his feet, and he took back the silver ticket not long after.

Seeing Dong Jue accepting the bank notes with her own eyes, Wang Qi was somewhat relieved.

Wang Yao was eager to go back to appreciate the paintings carefully, but he didn't intend to stay any longer.

Seeing that Wang Yao's heart is like an arrow, Wang Qi bid farewell to Dong Jue.

Helping Wang Yao into the carriage, Wang Qi nodded to Dong Jue who was going out to see him off, and then got into the carriage.

Zhao Aman, who happened to pass by, saw Wang Qi boarding a luxurious carriage, and saw the carriage slowly passing by, then looked up at the plaque of Gu Baozhai, and then sneered: "Sure enough, he is still a rich man. The price of any item here should be enough for him and his grandma to spend for a year. Maybe he will never become Wang Qi's kind of person in his life. Maybe in the future, he will never have anything to do with Wang Qi. "

Ignoring the little disappointment in his heart, Zhao Aman wrapped his cotton coat tightly around his body and walked towards Jishi Medical Center.
