"Yuzhi, you really don't do calligraphy and painting anymore?"

"If you don't do it, you can't do it..."

"Why can't you do it? You are a civil servant of the ninth rank!"

"So what? Do you really think I am afraid of others' despicable means? My family is also a family of calligraphy and painting for generations, so there is no way to protect themselves?"

"Then bless you..."

"I'm afraid Christie's will do it!"

"I'm afraid Christie's will do it?"

"Yes, it's Christie's! Christie's' singing and selling will sooner or later make us lose our foothold..."

"Can you?"

In a corner of the horse road in Fengle Zhonglou, Chen Youwen, who had just finished the sale, also has a table leaning against the corner in the Huangzi District. He is today's big seller, so he can't go to the yard, right?

So Su Dalang arranged a table to lean against him. The table was very small, and in addition to Chen Youwen himself, there were three people to sit. Chen Youwen invited his colleague Du Yongde, who was in the Painting Academy, as well as Gou Dushi, who came from a family of calligraphy and painting.

Like Chen Youwen and Wu Haogu, who runs shops while doing auditions, Du Yongde and Gou Chushi also have big deals at home, so they are naturally in calligraphy, painting, and arts.

In particular, the latter is known as the best in the Hanlin Academy's appreciation (eye ability)! Even Chen Youwen is ashamed of his good eyesight. If he had not had a low status and was just an art science, his reputation in the field of palms would never be inferior to Mi Fu and Wang Sheng.

Originally, after Chen Youwen took office, Du Yongde was promoted to the position of the postmaster, and Gou Dushi was also promoted to the postmaster. However, Wu Haogu's airborne made both of them lose their wishful thinking, so now both of them are a little dissatisfied, so they are closer to Chen Youwen.

However, they did not dare to publicly confront Wu Haogu, who was in the limelight. They only dared to do some small moves and dig a few small holes for Wu Haogu. They dragged Wu Haogu as the head of calligraphy and painting, which was the yin wind that they fanned out. When they chose Wu Haogu and Zhao Xiaoyi, they were digging a hole for Wu Haogu... Don't think that they did this to make an egg hit a stone, in fact, they were not simple either.

Du Yongde is very old, has many friends in the noble circle of Kaifeng Prefecture, and has also taken many famous families as apprentices. Moreover, there are many secret stocks of wealthy families in his Du family's old shop, and Wu Haogu could not touch him at all!

In fact, Master Gou is also a lackey under the Duan Prince's Mansion. He specially collected calligraphy and paintings for Zhao Ji. Not long ago, he found two missing pictures from the four screens of "The Picture of the Hollyhound of the Green Threshold" painted by Xu Xi. This is the treasure "The Picture of the Hollyhound of the Prince Consort Wang Shi has been looking for. After Zhao Ji got it, he handed it over to his old friend Wang Shi, preparing to take him to Yuntai Mountain.

Therefore, it is also trouble for Wu Haogu to deal with them. Moreover, their small actions are different from those of Chen Youwen who buys murder Wu Haogu. Even if Wu Dalang wants to deal with them, he has to be ranked behind Chen Youwen. If he wants to deal with Chen Youwen, he cannot start in Kaifeng Prefecture.

Chen Youwen is also a ninth-grade Wenlin Lang. How could Wu Haogu take him in Kaifeng Prefecture?

Chen Youwen was not stupid either, and he had long seen that Wu Haogu would not let him go, so he was preparing for a way out.

While preparing for the way out, Chen Youwen also did not forget to dig a hole for Wu Haogu and apply some eye drops...

"Can you wait and see!"

Chen Youwen sneered: "There has never been a clear price in calligraphy, painting, and arts industry in the past. Moreover, it is usually difficult for sellers who have things to meet with money and buyers who want things to meet. Only by hitting us through the hands can the things become money!

As for how much we make in the middle, haha...

But now, Wu Haogu has created such a big selling market. This is equivalent to having a direct contact between buyers and sellers. The selling house is to help sell and identify the authenticity, and the pumping from it is also clear and real price... For sellers, the income from selling is definitely much more than selling it to us. For buyers, the bid may be more expensive, but the authenticity is guaranteed, and they will not miss what they want.

Therefore, once the trading method of singing and selling calligraphy, painting, and cultural relics is promoted, the traditional calligraphy, painting, and cultural relics store will have to close down, and the profits it can obtain will definitely be greatly reduced.

"What should I do?" The old man Du Yongde became anxious after hearing Chen Youwen's analysis. There are many shares of aristocratic families in his shop, and the annual dividends cannot be reduced!

Duke Gou seemed calm and didn't say anything. He had a pair of tricks that could pick up bargains, so singing and selling houses were mixed. On the one hand, they would steal his business, and on the other hand, it also facilitated him to take advantage of the "leaks" he picked up.

Chen Youwen glanced at Du Yongde, who was full of anxiety and the quiet Chushi, and smiled and said, "You can also open a singing and selling house!"

"Yes!" Du Yongde gently patted the table, "If he can open it, we can't do it? Youzhi, Erlang (Teacher Gou), let's do it together!"

Master Gou smiled and pointed at the Mo Madam on the stage, "Old Du, the singing and selling is about to begin, let's watch it first."

...

"Xiao Yi, the singing and selling is about to begin. Should we go on stage and take a look at things?"

Wu Haogu was also saying something similar to Zhao Ji at this time, and the guests arrived one after another. The bottom floor of Fengle Middle Tower was full of seats, with dozens of tables surrounded by two or three hundred figures.

When Pan Xiao'an and Pan Qiaolian came, they sat next to Wu Haogu's table No. 3, which was arranged by Wu Haogu and Su Dalang. Of course, the Pan brothers and sisters had to sit next to Wu Haogu!

At the second table in Tianzi beside Zhao Ji, there were two brothers of Empress Dowager Xiang Zongliang and Xiang Zong. The two brothers pretended not to know Zhao Ji, but the bags they brought with them were filled with "private friends", which was 20,000 yuan!

This is specially used to support Zhao Ji... Zhao Ji's paintings cannot be cheaper than ancient paintings, right?

Cai Jing and Cai You and his son have arrived at this time, but they are not sitting in the Tianzi area, which is too embarrassing. The Xiang brothers and the Pan brothers and sisters accompany Zhao Ji to play. Cai Jing is a civil servant and an important official, so he still has to remain noble.

So Cai Jing and his son were sitting at the table No. 1, and there was an auction table between them and Cai Jing and Cai You, and there was also a minister of the Ministry of Rites Jian Xuchen. He actually didn’t know much about Zhao Ji, Zhao Xiaoyi, and even if he knew it, he would not make friends. On the one hand, because he was the Minister of Rites and an important minister of the court, making friends with the prince was a taboo; on the other hand, he was a villain of Zhang Dun. He followed Zhang Xianggong and did things for Zhang Xianggong to settle down and did his life. He did not need to cling to King Duan.

He just wanted to meet Li Shishi, so he asked Ji Yi for a post. Li Shishi. For him, it was a dream of his youth.

This is emotion!

As for Cai Jing, he is different from Jian Xuchen. It is true that he is a member of the new party, but Zhang Dun is not Wang Anshi. His younger brother Cai Bian married Wang Anshi's daughter. Therefore, within the new party, the Cai brothers are also a big mountain, not under Zhang Dun and Zeng Bu, and there is no problem of Cai Jing being a lackey for Zhang Dun.

However, Cai Jing could not blatantly curry favor with Zhao Ji, so he pretended to be a "fan" of Li Shishi. He was talking to Jian Xuchen about interesting things about how he dated Li Shishi back then, and Jian Xuchen looked surprised.

Cai Jing was a young man and became a Jinshi at the age of 23. In the years when Li Shishi was very popular, Cai Jing was the capital of Kaifeng Prefecture... Such an official dating of Li Shishi like a courtesan will definitely turn into a good story (it will be a scandal if it is put on the future generations). Why was there no news at that time? Could it be that Cai Jing was just as afraid of his wife as his younger brother Cai Bian?

At this moment, Cai You, the son of Cai Jing, suddenly interrupted, "Father, Shangshu Jian, someone has gone up to read calligraphy and paintings, let's go and take a look."

Cai Jing raised his head and looked at the auction table, nodded with a smile: "Okay! Let's go and have a look, Xuzhi, are you going together?"

"Okay, let's have a look together."
Chapter completed!
