Due to a heavy snowfall, Hua Rujin and King Ning's convoy arrived at Jiangxia County, the provincial capital, after traveling for more than ten days.

As soon as I entered the city, I heard that the auction house was auctioning calligraphy and paintings.

Zhu Zhiye and Wu Muning even heard that there were calligraphy and paintings of the evil god of swords and brushes among the items auctioned by the auction house. Hua Rujin said:

"It's been several years since I saw a good work from the Cthulhu Knife and Pen, and I can't let others snatch it, Xiaohuaer, you go with me to the auction house first, and then go to see Ye Chengwei."

Hearing what Wu Muning said last time, he no longer cares about calling Hua Rujin a silly girl, but instead calls him Xiao Huaer. Although Hua Rujin doesn't like him calling herself like this, it is much better than calling him a silly girl, so he has no choice but to obey. he.

Even though she had been separated from Ye Chengwei for many days, and she was concerned about the case of Mu Ran's cousin, she was looking forward to seeing Ye Chengwei sooner, and didn't want to follow him to make troubles.

But when she heard the name of the Sword and Pen Cthulhu, she couldn't help but ignited the desire to find out.

In Jiangling City, on the birthday of Mrs. Shu's old lady, Ye Chengwei gave Tao a piece of calligraphy as a birthday present. Cousin Ruya's face was full of glory when she mentioned this. I want to see for myself how amazing it is.

Unable to withstand the kind invitation of King Ning and Wu Muning, she had no choice but to follow the two to the auction house first.

When we arrived at the auction house, it was noon, and it was supposed to be time for dinner, but the lobby was full of people, extremely lively.

The three of them squeezed in together, and they heard the auctioneer yell loudly: "The next thing to be auctioned is the last calligraphy of Knife and Pen Cthulhu and the only ink Danqing painting in the finale."

Hearing that it was the last piece of calligraphy, King Ning couldn't wait to ask others: "How many pieces of calligraphy of the sword and pen evil god have been auctioned?"

The man lamented: "Two paintings have already been auctioned, and both were sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver. I just saw it by chance. I am afraid that the remaining calligraphy and that painting cannot be taken down without tens of thousands of taels of silver. "

"It's too late after all."

Zhu Zhiye and Wu Muning sighed at the same time.

Afraid of missing the last two authentic paintings, Wu Muning hurriedly urged the auction house manager: "Hurry up and bid, don't delay."

Zhu Zhiye was not worried about the money, but was afraid of buying fakes, so he asked unhurriedly: "The previous masterpieces of the Daobi evil god all appeared in Jinling, why is the original work of Mr. Daobi appearing in Jiangxia County now? Could it be that someone imitated it?"

"Don't worry about this, my lord. We have already sent someone to check it. It is indeed the work of the sword and pen evil god. It was obtained by a gentleman's old friend. It is only due to the family situation that he has to sell the original work of the gentleman."

As soon as the shopkeeper's words fell, many people echoed and said: "This can't be wrong, and besides, it's so realistic, even if it's an imitation, it's not easy."

Wu Muning is an avid fan of the evil god of swords and brushes. Whether it is Mr. calligraphy or paintings, she knows very well that the paper and ink used, seals, brushwork, inscriptions, and even colors are different from others. Even everyone in Beijing is also different. It can be imitated, so she is not worried about buying fakes.

With a smile on his face, he said to Zhu Zhiye: "Your Highness, you are worrying too much. Such a big auction house would not dare to auction fakes. I have seen the real works of Mr. Wang."

Zhu Zhiye immediately dispelled his worries, and hastily called out: "Shopkeeper, hurry up and make an offer."

The shopkeeper is also a shrewd person, the two pieces of calligraphy just now were auctioned for tens of thousands of taels of silver, the so-called rare is the most expensive thing, this last piece of calligraphy naturally had to be asked for a higher price, so he hinted at the boy.

The young man glanced at the shopkeeper's gesticulating fingers, felt guilty for a while, and said cautiously: "This last piece of calligraphy is the last handwriting of the knife and pen evil god, and the starting price is 1 taels of silver."

Ting An, who was hiding in the dark and watching, heard the young man say that this was the young master's last pen, and almost spit out a mouthful of blood, but the description of the young master is different in the world anyway, some people say that he is the hidden high-ranking man in the previous dynasty. Some people say that he is a white-haired old man who loves mountains and rivers, so he doesn't care.

It's just that even he himself didn't expect that he hadn't sold his calligraphy and painting for the young master for many years, and now more and more people admire the young master's calligraphy and painting.

If the son is willing, he really wants the son to change his career, which is much richer than the money he earns as an official.

The boy in the store thought that the price offered would make the spectators afraid to accept it, but just as he opened his mouth, someone stretched out his finger and shouted, "I'll offer 1 taels."

"I will offer 5000 taels."

"I will offer 6000 taels."

"I offer 2 taels."

Hearing someone shouting 2 taels, the hall was silent for a moment.

Hua Rujin glanced at the bidder, who was wearing sable and velvet, probably extremely wealthy.

She can only envy the preferences of these rich people, but she dare not expect extravagantly.

Spending 2 taels of silver to buy a piece of calligraphy, in her opinion, is something that only a fool can do.

"Hey, if you find a man as capable as the Knife and Pen Cthulhu to be your husband, then you will have to spend the rest of your life. You don't have to do anything, just ask him to do a few more paintings and write a few calligraphy. live."

Hua Rujin murmured silently to herself. According to rumors, the life of the sword and pen evil god is extremely secretive. Even if he is not a member of the previous dynasty, he is still a rare old man now. .

Hearing the high-spirited bids, she could only watch it as if it was a lively scene, and turned her eyes to Wu Muning and King Ning with great interest, and saw Wu Muning directly gesticulating a few fingers: "I will pay 3 taels."

"3 million taels?"

Hua Rujin glanced at Wu Muning enviously, and regretted not cheating her more.

Seeing the silence everywhere, Zhu Zhiye wanted to follow suit, but was stopped by Wu Muning: "Your Highness, our family loves Mr. Daobi's calligraphy the most. Your Highness, why don't you give me this calligraphy."

Zhu Zhiye first turned his head to look at Hua Rujin, and asked, "Xiao Hua'er, there are only the last two pieces of Mr.'s original works, do you like them?"

Hua Rujin didn't understand what he meant, but thinking that he had been more courteous to her recently, she was afraid that he was buying it as a gift for herself, so she quickly shook her head and said, "I don't understand this, wouldn't it be a waste of money to buy it, so I won't be with the two." There's a fight."

But I still couldn't bear the pain in my heart.

Even if you can't appreciate it, it will only become more and more valuable if you stay at home.

It's just that Wu Muning regards herself as a friend, so she can't bear to take away people's love.

After getting her words, Zhu Zhiye nodded to Wu Muning and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't compete with you for this painting, but you are not allowed to compete with me for the next painting, Wu Suantou."

"Okay, if your highness takes a picture, just let me appreciate it for a few days."

Wu Muning replied happily.

The servants on the field called for several times, but seeing no one raised the price, they settled on the last piece of calligraphy and sold it to Wu Muning at a high price of 3 taels of silver.

Under the envious and jealous eyes of everyone, Wu Muning took the calligraphy and returned to his seat. Several people looked at it together. As if he had found a treasure, Wu Muning held it in his hands fondly, for fear that someone would break it if he was not careful.

Hua Rujin looked at the calligraphy calmly, the handwriting was indeed extremely beautiful, but she always felt a little familiar.

One piece of calligraphy by the evil god of knife and pen was auctioned for 3 taels of silver. I really don't know how many taels of silver should be needed to win a painting.

Since she doesn't have the strength to collect the authentic works of these masters, she just wants to hold her mind and see who will dare to compete with King Ning next.
