first divine calculation

Chapter 69

Master Guan was more excited than Banruo. Seeing his expression of joy, Banruo knew that this person really loved calligraphy and painting.

Master Guan pointed to the other paintings spread out, and said, "Second Master, look at these again, there are calligraphy and paintings by other famous artists here! There is also a painting by Shen Fu!"

"Shen Fu?" Huo Yubai picked up the magnifying glass and examined it carefully. After a long time, as before, after he put down the painting, he confirmed Master Guan's judgment: "As you said, it is Shen Sanbai's painting!"

Master Guan was affirmed, and he was even more excited!He said aloud:
"There are also two paintings and calligraphy by Xu Beihong and Zhang Daqian, and a piece of "The Inscription on the Main Column" by Huang Tingjian!"

When Master Guan said this, it seemed like he was talking about a myth!
Needless to say, the calligraphy and paintings of Xu Beihong and Zhang Daqian, among modern painters, these two are very popular, the calligraphy and painting can be tens of millions or even as high as one or two hundred million, and ordinary people may not necessarily be able to get theirs if they go bankrupt. a painting.

That's all. If it's just their personal calligraphy and painting, a single sheet is enough for calligraphy and painting lovers to be amazed, but in front of them, it's not just one sheet, but each of them has their own works!Chen Shu, Shen Fu, Fu Baoshi, Xu Beihong, Zhang Daqian... Which one of these people is not a famous artist?Who doesn't occupy a place in the painting world?You know, it is so difficult to own a painting, how rare is the work of Ji Qi and the others!The probability of this is probably even smaller than being hit on the top of the head by a meteor!This is probably the lifelong dream of many calligraphy and painting lovers, let alone that Master Guan said just now that there is a "Pillar Inscription" in it?
Even Huo Yubai, who is not surprised when things happen, was stunned for a moment when he heard Huang Tingjian's "The Inscription of the Mainstay".

"Huang Tingjian's "Pillar Inscription"?" He confirmed in a deep voice.

"Yes! Second Master, who else can there be besides Huang Tingjian!"

Master Guan's saliva is about to flow out!Among these masters, he loves Huang Tingjian's handwriting the most. With Huang Tingjian's achievements, his handwriting is not only rare and rare, but he has only seen it in copybooks before. When did he see it for real?

When Huo Yubai heard this, his dark eyes swept across the words, and he carefully put the words in order, for fear that it would be crumpled.

You know, this "Di Zhu Ming" is Huang Tingjian's representative work, this is not a joke, not to mention all other paintings in this box, only this "Di Zhu Ming" is invaluable, not only that, other The research value is also high, among other things, Huo Yubai has collected hundreds of paintings by famous masters in history over the years, but none of them can have the weight of this calligraphy work, not one!Not even the painting of Wang Xizhi that he hangs at home!

People who love calligraphy and painting will regard this as a treasure.

It was the first time that Banruo saw stars flashing in Huo Yubai's eyes, and it was also the first time he saw him showing a bewitched expression.

"The big-character running script is concise and powerful! It has a unique structure! It is indeed Huang Tingjian's masterpiece! It's just..." Huo Yubai frowned, and there seemed to be anger in his eyes. "It's just that the painting seems to be damp, and there are many indentations on the painting, as if it has been folded!"

In his opinion, such a painting should cost a huge amount of money every year to maintain it. Such a painting is a treasure of the motherland and a precious treasure that we can leave for future generations. Usually, such a calligraphy work is opened and viewed once. , are all a kind of damage to it, let alone folded and folded, pressed aside, let alone damp!This is simply intolerable!
"Oh! Second Master, you don't know. I took this painting out of this box. At that time, all the calligraphy and painting works in this box were folded and stuffed in. It is said that it is to prevent moisture. That's why the box was eaten by moths!"

"Insect-eaten?" Huo Yubai glanced at the box, and his face turned dark again. "It's not an exaggeration to say that this box is worthless. It's ridiculous to use such a wooden box to store calligraphy and painting!"

"Second Master, you don't understand this, this box was just bought by Miss Banruo!"

"What?" Huo Yubai suddenly looked at Banruo with obvious surprise in his eyes.

He originally thought that these paintings were sent to his door to be appraised and sold, because these paintings are all priceless, and if they are added together, the total value may exceed one billion!Because just the painting of Huang Tingjian, if placed in the autumn auction of Sotheby's or Poly Auction House, the transaction price may exceed 4 million yuan.

He has bought calligraphy and paintings all his life, but he never dared to buy the calligraphy of Huang Tingjian and Wang Xizhi at the same time, because there are too many rich people in China, and everyone would spare no effort to buy calligraphy of such famous masters, and it is difficult to buy them at auction. In the past, he got a painting by Wang Xizhi and regarded it as a treasure for many years, but she was so easy, so easy to get the paintings of these famous artists?
However, she didn't seem to take it seriously. Judging by her calm expression, does Huo Yubai know how rare her collection of calligraphy and painting is?
"Is it true that you just bought it?" Banruo nodded silently. "Theoretically speaking, what I bought was just the box. The calligraphy and painting are in the box and belong to the old man's own house. I'm thinking whether I should return these things to him."

Thinking of the old man's situation, he really needs money, and any calligraphy and painting here is enough for him to earn for a lifetime.

Seeing that Huo Yubai didn't understand, Master Guan explained the whole story, and then Huo Yubai pursed his lips and took a deep look at Banruo.

"This is your kindness and kindness."

Banruo didn't make a sound, she really didn't expect to pick up such a big leak, no, it should be said that she didn't pick up the leak, but she just got such a big surprise by being a good person herself.

Prajna pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Maybe I should return these calligraphy and paintings."

"Go back?" Master Guan was not happy, "Miss, it's because of your kindness, you bought the box and got the calligraphy and painting, which is what you deserve. Now, the calligraphy and painting are yours! Besides, the old man took such a Precious calligraphy and paintings are used to prevent moisture. Isn’t that a waste of these things? These should be preserved in the National Museum for future generations to visit and study! They are all the hard work of our ancestors. If you return them to the old man, I’m afraid It was sold by his son again, and when the time comes, who knows what the hard work of these famous masters will be like!"

Seeing that Prajna was contemplating, Master Guan continued:

"I know you're not short of money, so it's better to keep these collections well. In the future, this will be the spiritual wealth of our descendants!"

At this age, Master Guan really feels that he has a heavy burden on his shoulders. Our motherland has a history of 5000 years. In Yuanmingyuan, so many treasures have been left abroad. Although many people are now buying back the treasures of the motherland from abroad, such as Huo Yubai, he would even buy back some antiques and donate them to the country. However, the strength of individuals is meager. There are fewer and fewer antiques, and Banruo has so many famous paintings, so it should be well preserved!

Huo Yubai's eyes stared at her like ink, "I agree with Master Guan's statement, not to mention that you bought it, it belongs to you, I just hope you can consider the future of these paintings, if they are in your hands Come on, I'm relieved."

Banruo nodded, "I just feel sorry for it. I always feel like I've taken advantage of it. You are right. What I have to do now is to preserve and restore these famous paintings." She pondered for a while, "As for the old man, I will take good care of them. Make offerings to ensure that they spend their old age safely."

Huo Yubai and Master Guan nodded together.

Huo Yubai finally said: "If my master knew that you had Huang Tingjian's handwriting, he would be begging you frantically to let him take a look."

"Is it such an exaggeration?"

"This is not an exaggeration! In the eyes of calligraphy and painting lovers, this is a normal state!"

Huo Yubai raised his left hand, glanced at the watch on his wrist, and said in a deep voice, "The auction is about to start, let's go up first. As for these calligraphy and paintings..."

Huo Yubai glanced at the calligraphy and paintings spread out on the table, and said, "If Miss Banruo is willing, Huo is willing to repair the calligraphy and paintings for you for free, deal with the problem of moisture, and reinstall them for your collection!"

It's free, of course Banruo is willing, and besides, if she wants to collect it, she must find someone to deal with these calligraphy and paintings.

"I am glad to."

After Banruo said something, she walked into Gu Langxuan's backyard, but she felt a little puzzled in her heart. Her supernatural ability has always responded to antiques, so why doesn't she have the slightest feeling for calligraphy and painting alone?At first, she thought that the calligraphy and painting were fake, but now Huo Yubai has proved that they are all genuine, which is strange. Could it be that this ability doesn't even respond to paper products?
Prajna came upstairs with doubts.

Halfway, she heard a man ask another: "These auction items today are not bad, do you have any favorites?"

"have a look."

"The Qianlong vase is today's grand finale, do you plan to have a hand in that thing?"

"If you don't buy it, don't buy it! So many people come to take pictures, no matter how cheap this Qianlong bottle is, it will be fired!"

"Yes, I think today is another fight!"

Banruo didn't care much about these things, so she came to sit next to Qian Yuanji. Qian Yuanji and Zhao Mingyuan had just had a good chat, and they were already brothers.

"Brother Zhao, are you interested in this Qianlong bottle?"

"Brother Qian, I'm afraid the competition for this bottle is fierce, even if I'm interested, I may not be able to buy it."

When Banruo heard the words, he had a question: "A store like Gulangxuan is backed by the Huo family. If there are really good auction items, why doesn't Gulangxuan keep them for itself?"

Zhao Mingyuan laughed when he heard the words: "According to this statement, Gu Langxuan will not be able to conduct auction business. Since he has done this business, there must be gains and losses. Don't worry! The second master met at his own auction. No matter how good things are, they won’t sell them!”

"That's right." As soon as Banruo finished speaking, two women came in surrounded by bodyguards.

With such a big posture, the bosses on the spot were immediately compared. At this time, they couldn't help but look sideways at the people who came.

"It's Su Qi, why is she here?" Zhao Mingyuan frowned slightly, a little puzzled, "There is also Huo Qingcheng following, these two people are probably here for the auction, right?"

Isn't that fashionable woman wearing sunglasses and high heels Su Yi?Su Yi is tall and tall, with outstanding temperament, and she is more conspicuous surrounded by bodyguards. Compared with this, Huo Qingcheng, who should be outstanding, looks a little dim.

After the bodyguard wiped the seat, Su Qi sat down, as if she heard what Huo Qingcheng said, then Su Qi turned her head and glanced in the direction of Banruo.

At this time, she was wearing sunglasses, and she was looking at Banruo across the air. Banruo couldn't see her expression clearly, but only saw her raise the corners of her lips and smile coldly.

When the time came, at Huo Yubai's signal, the host made the opening.

This auction will adopt the English auction method.

"The first collection, everyone, please take a look! This is a pair of gilt hairpins from the Tang Dynasty, with pearls on the bottom, and a pair of mandarin ducks in the shape of flowers. The eyes and wings of the mandarin ducks are inlaid with jewels of corresponding colors. Appraisal, this hairpin came from the harem of the Tang Dynasty, it should be said that the Tang Dynasty can have such a production process, which is jaw-dropping, if nothing else, let’s talk about modern times, it is very rare to be able to make such a hairpin!"

The host pointed to the hairpin and introduced:

"This hairpin is very suitable for girls to wear with their heads. The starting price is 5 yuan. Ladies present can pay attention to it. It is also a good choice for men to buy as gifts for their wives and daughters! Alright, let's start bidding now!"

The color of this hairpin is very bright, which makes people feel good after seeing it. This gorgeous style was indeed popular in the harem of the Tang Dynasty. Hannya glanced at it and felt that the hairpin was indeed well preserved, although it did not match her simple style. , but it’s not bad to buy and keep.

She nodded to Qian Yuanji, and Qian Yuanji held up the sign.

“58号出价7万5，7万5一次！还有谁要出价？”

"Okay, another lady has bid!" As the bidding started, the host's mood became slightly high, "The lady on number 60 bid 10!"

Banruo frowned slightly, started to raise the price so soon?She looked at Su Yi at number 60, and saw that she turned her head slightly, raised the corners of her lips, and showed a provocative smile.

Banruo felt that she seemed to have some inexplicable hostility towards him, which was strange. Logically speaking, she saw that Su Qi was the woman who had something to do with Huo Yubai.

"Girl, are you still shooting?"

Prajna nodded, "Continue!"

“58号出价11万！”主持人喊道：“11万一次，11万两次！11万……好！60号女士再次出价，她出价20万！”

As the price increased, everyone turned their heads to look at Su Yi. The price of 20 is not very high, but for this hairpin, it is really a loss to buy it for 20.

"Girl?" Qian Yuanji asked sideways.

Banruo looked at the expression on Su Yi's face, and thought, Su Qi might be deliberately confronting him.Prajna didn't know what to think of, and suddenly showed an inexplicable smile.

"continue!"

"Ms. 58 bid 30!" Qian Yuanji was a little surprised when he heard Banruo's bid.

Is this clearly having sex with Su Yi?He could see that Su Qi was hostile towards Prajna, but spending money to buy pleasure, isn't that too irrational?
"30! Are there any more bids? If no one continues to bid, then... good! Someone bid again, and the 60th bid again! The 60th bid 40!" The host did not expect that the flames of war would start immediately , the voice became louder and louder.

"58 million on the 50nd!"

"60 million on the 60nd!"

On the other side, Huo Qingcheng glanced at Su Yi, and persuaded in a low voice: "Su Yi, this hairpin is not worth the money, among other things, our Gulangxuan has quite a few hairpins of this quality, and they are worth less than [-] yuan." I can buy it."

Su Qi raised her eyebrows and looked at her, and said:
"Qingcheng, I'm not short of money, but for some reason, I don't like that Prajna anyway. I will never let that woman named Prajna steal my things!"

Huo Qingcheng smiled, "I knew you were angry with others because of my brother!"

She turned sideways and looked back at Prajna, and said in a low voice:
"I heard that my brother is really close to her, but I know my brother. With his personality, it is impossible for him to like a little girl who is not yet an adult. Besides, what is so good about this girl? She has no breasts. If you want to have no buttocks, no femininity, and don't know how to dress, she is far worse than you, so she will never be my sister-in-law! Don't worry!"

These words made Su Qi amused, Su Qi smiled and said: "Although I also know that she is inferior to me in everything, but I still want to let her know that there is nothing I, Su Qi, can't get!"

"I'm waiting for you to be my sister-in-law!"

The two smiled at each other and said nothing.

Where does Prajna not know Su Yi's thoughts?She sneered in her heart, somewhat disdainful of Su Yi's behavior.To be honest, she can do whatever she wants with this hairpin. If she buys a hairpin of this quality for 60 yuan, it can only be said that Su Qi's family is really rich, so she might as well help him out so that the family has money and nowhere to go. Hua, I feel so panicked!
Thinking of this, Prajna closed her eyes and said again: "100!"

Qian Yuanji raised his sign.

"Okay, No. 58 bids 100 million!"

Huo Qingcheng sneered: "She's really matched with you! Su Qi, don't you think she's jealous of you?"

Su Qi raised her chin, "With her, is she worthy?" She held up her number plate again, this time she was determined to win:

"Okay! No. 60 bid again, and she bid 150 million!"

The host stirred up the atmosphere: "It seems that both of them like this hairpin very much. The competition on the scene is getting more and more fierce. I wonder who will get this hairpin in the end?"

In the end, Hannya smiled and raised the placard again, "180 million!"

With a little contempt, Su Yi said, "200 million!"

200 million?Hannya sneered, the price is almost the same!She signaled Qian Yuanji to take back the sign.

“好！200万！还有再次出价的吗？”主持人拿起锤子，激动地开口：“200万一次！200万两次！200万三次！最后我宣布，这次的拍卖品唐代珍珠鎏金簪，由60号拍得！成交价200万！”

There was a lot of discussion among the people. Most of the people present knew about Su Yi, and also knew that she was the No. 1 girl in the legend. When I saw her today, I thought that Su Yi was really beautiful. Both her body and appearance were top-notch, so perfect. Some people still have money at home. Among other things, the 5 hairpin can be photographed for 200 million. It is really a family with money to burn!

In the next few rounds, Su Yi seemed to be on par with Banruo.

The second collection is a pair of moon holding vases. The starting price is 100 million. Banruo intends to bid for it, and raised her cards a few times, but Su Yi obviously deliberately made things difficult for her, and every time she was higher than her. In the end, it was auctioned It will become a two-person show again.

In the end, under the help of Banruo, Su Yi auctioned off the pair of moon holding bottles at a price of 1000 million. Banruo estimated that the value of these bottles would be around 500 million if they were sold outside.

The same is true for the third collection, which is an ornament of the seven old men with yellow pine cranes in green fields. This ornament is engraved with seven old people, surrounded by auspicious clouds and pine cranes. It seems to have a better meaning, and it is an auspicious thing. Fortunately, the carving is good, but the quality of the jade is not predetermined. Therefore, the reserve price of the auction is only 50.

Because Wang Changsheng's birthday is approaching, Banruo happened to want to buy some gifts for him. When he saw the Qilao's decoration, he thought it was very suitable, so he wanted to take a picture of it. As a result, Su Qi came to snatch it, and every time Banruo raised the price, She doubled it, and in the end, the item with a starting price of 50 was auctioned by Su Yi for 500 million!

Qian Yuanji seemed to see Banruo's intentions, he laughed softly and said:
"The owners of these collections today have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to sell at a good price!"

Hannya raised the corners of her lips and smiled meaningfully.

"They should thank Ms. Su. Ms. Su has a lot of money. If it weren't for Ms. Su's generosity, how could there be such a high transaction price!"

Zhao Mingyuan smiled and said, "I think Qian Duo is stupid!"

Several people looked at each other and smiled.

After the auction of these three collections was over, Banruo went to the bathroom. After she came out, she washed her hands, but when she heard the sound of high heels approaching, Su Qi walked over, turned on the faucet beside her, and snorted:
"Miss Wang, how does it feel to be robbed of something you love?"

Banruo smiled, and still lowered her head to wash her hands: "Miss Su's words are wrong. What is a beloved thing? I'm a little puzzled."

Su Qi was slightly stunned, "Miss Wang, dare you say, you don't like the pair of hairpins? And the moon vase and Qilao's ornaments?"

Banruo was puzzled, she was very surprised and asked: "Miss Su, where do you see that I like it?"

"What?" Su Yi's complexion changed.

Banruo said lightly: "Miss Su, thank you very much for making a good start for this auction, let's talk about the hairpin, the starting price of 5 yuan, the final transaction price was 40 times that, I can only say that Miss Su It’s really rich! This is really beyond the reach of us mortals!”

Su Qi's face darkened when she said this, she quickly suppressed her anger, and smiled sweetly, "Miss Wang didn't grab the hairpin, what are you talking about!"

"Really, Gu Langxuan has a lot of hairpins like this. I want them. I can buy 200 pairs for 40 million. Who would be stupid enough to take pictures of them?" Banruo said very sincerely.

Su Qi was so angry that she gritted her teeth, she stared at Banruo fiercely, and finally said in a cold voice with disdain:
"I have a lot of money! I don't care about the 2000 million! I have a problem with this person. As long as I like something, I must grab it."

Unlike her entry into the play, Banruo's tone was still calm, she didn't lift her head and said:
"As long as you're happy."
