Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 124 Bingxue, Smart, It's Not Surprising to Make Some Strange Moves

Mrs. Ru's Chu family of Su Wang's mansion, that is, Chu Sijiu, the only surviving second daughter of the Chu family, opened a gallery on Zhuque Street.

Like a gust of wind, the news spread throughout Yecheng in an instant.

In just one hour, spies from various mansions arrived one after another.

Because the two princes, Dongfang Hao and Dongfang Jun, were fighting inside, the spies were too low-level to dare to enter.

"Great, whether it's the handwriting or artistic conception of the painting, there are unique features, which are beyond the reach of people nowadays." Dongfang Jun stood in front of Qianye Qing's painting, and praised him.

Dongfang Hao's eyes were deep, and he stared at the painting that was said to be given to him in silence.

In the turbulent waves of the ocean, a section of dead wood is arched high, and this part is made of ink pens of different shades.It's just that on the side of the dead wood, there is a touch of emerald green branches and leaves quietly growing, which are green and full of vitality.

Just like the "Autumn Day" hanging in his study, this painting called "New Emerald Green" also has a vigorous and high-spirited vitality, but it is more meaningful.

"Brother Huang, does this mean that you don't plan to sell this painting hanging in the viewing area?" Dongfang Jun was salivating after seeing it, wishing he could take it all back home.

Dongfang Hao glanced at him lightly, "This one is mine."

Ah oh.

Dongfang Jun was speechless immediately, after thinking about it, he decided to do serious things.

With a shy face, he leaned in front of Chu Sijiu, "Ru Ma'am, Qianyeqing's "Bodhisattva Picture" will be auctioned for three days, can it be shortened to one day, the prince waits here for one day, it is considered a Let me show you the store."

Chu Sijiu raised her eyebrows, "The prince promised to send you off, and he will take pictures of it, so you can go back home and wait."

Dongfang Jun raised his chin and thought for a while, feeling uneasy, "With your auction method, someone may come out and cut off the beard at any time. What if someone else takes the photo?"

Chu Sijiu laughed wickedly, "The one with the highest price gets it, and I will be the one who gets the cheapest in the end."

Dongfang Jun's expression became stiff, "Ru Ma'am, they are all from our own family, for your convenience."

Chu Sijiu pursed her lips, and said in a calm tone, "Eighth Prince, when I open a shop and do business, the rules are all set, come over and let me change them, next time Prince Rui comes over, let me change them again, Yecheng I can't afford to offend any of these rich and powerful people, how can I open my shop after changing before and after?"

Dongfang Junyu said, "All right, I'll pay to become a member first."

"That's right, this attitude is correct." Chu Sijiu chuckled, took out a book and recorded it, and took out the receipt that he had prepared in advance, "This hundred gold is the membership fee, and you can use it at any time with the receipt." Come back."

When Dongfang Jun came out to buy paintings, he naturally brought a bank note.

After handing in the banknotes and getting a 111 member number, he walked confidently to the auction area.

The starting bid for Qianye Qing's "Picture of Bodhisattva" is [-] gold.

"Five hundred gold." Dongfang Jun boldly quoted a price.

A round table was placed in the middle of the auction area, and a book boy who was polishing his pen stood beside it.

After hearing Dongfang Jun's words, he quickly wrote down the auction price in a well-organized notebook, and asked Dongfang Jun to sign his name.

The next moment, a small plaque was hung next to the "Picture of Bodhisattva", the current auction price: [-] gold.

"Ah Jiu is so calculating. After this, not only the paintings can be sold at a good price, but the membership fee can also be used for your daily purchases." Dongfang Hao walked over slowly.

He circled around the gallery and basically understood the pattern in the middle.

The four facades are just divided into four areas, namely the painting collection area, appreciation area, sales area and auction area.

There is a senior old painter sitting in the painting collection area, which is used to identify the quality of calligraphy and paintings, negotiate prices, sign contracts and other related matters with the sellers.

The sources and uses of the calligraphy and paintings hung in the appreciation area are quite mixed, some may have been sold, and some may be hung to see the reaction of customers.

The sales area is a fixed price, whether you are a member or not, you can buy it.

The auction area is exclusive to members, and only those who have paid the membership fee can bid.

A set of counters are made at the oblique corner of the entrance, selling top-quality fragrant tea; a row of elegant tables and chairs are placed near the window for people to drink tea and rest.

This kind of gallery layout and business concept is exquisite and far exceeds his expectations.

However, he doesn't know that there is a big universe in Chu Sijiu's chest, and the gallery is just one part of it.

Several years later, he finally understood her layout.

But it was too late.

At this moment, Chu Sijiu narrowed her eyes shallowly, and smiled slyly like a cat, "There is no one who doesn't bother making money. Considering that I am ice-snow and smart, it is not surprising that I come up with some strange tricks."

Not at all humble.

Dongfang Hao was not surprised, he looked at her quietly for a while, "I will give you one hundred gold from this king back home."

"Okay."

Chu Sijiu didn't care, took out the membership book and wrote him down, membership number 112.

In the eyes of the ancients, the Arabic numerals in the previous life were like little tadpoles. Dongfang Hao pointed at the numeral suspiciously, "What is this?"

"It's just a simple identification mark." Chu Sijiu confessed casually.

"Oh." Dongfang Hao instinctively felt that there was a mystery here, and pondered for a while with his eyes fixed, but he couldn't understand it.

Dongfang Jun lowered the auction price, feeling a little more at ease.

He also wandered around, he is also a knowledgeable person, and immediately felt the ingenuity of this gallery design.However, according to his thinking, this must be Dongfang Hao's handwriting.

In Dayu Country, when it comes to doing business, no one can compete with Brother Five Emperors.

After walking around for a while, he came back and praised, "Brother Huang, this gallery is elegantly furnished, with a broad layout, and there are Qianye Qing's paintings filling the space, so it has a bright future."

Chu Sijiu smiled, "Thank you for your good words."

Just as Dongfang Jun wanted to establish a good relationship with her, he rolled his eyes and smiled with eight neat white teeth, "Mrs. Ru, how did you get in touch with Qianye Qing? Can you pass me a greeting card for the prince?"

Chu Si's nine eyes froze, and she rolled her eyes at him, "Qianye Qing is an expert in the world, she doesn't like to show her face, so she won't accept any invitations, just let her paint peacefully."

Dongfang Jun drooped his eyebrows and sighed wearily, "I really want to see him."

Chu Sijiu chuckled, "Eggs are delicious, so you don't have to see that chicken."

After she finished speaking, she felt something was wrong, and she accidentally compared herself to a chicken.Annoyance suddenly appeared in his heart, but a smile remained motionless on his face.

Dongfang Jun is innocent and cute, he didn't think much about it at all, instead he felt a sense of enlightenment.

"Mrs. Ru is really transparent, and she solved the problem that has plagued the prince for many months with one sentence."

Dongfang Hao squinted his eyes slightly, and listened calmly, but didn't talk to him.

Perhaps those spies went back and reported the truth, and some people entered the gallery one after another, wandering around to look around.Those who are knowledgeable, took a fancy to Qianye Qing's paintings, and there was a painting boy beside him explaining the rules softly.

After that, someone paid the membership fee.

After registering in the register, five hundred gold was written on the back of the painting immediately. (It is stipulated that ten golds will be used as a price increase unit)
Dongfang Jun was in a hurry, and immediately went over to increase the price.

Chu Sijiu watched with a smile.

"Sell a painting, how much does Ah Jiu get?" Dongfang Hao's voice came from beside his ear.

"For auction, [-]%; for sale, [-]%." Chu Sijiu replied according to the rules.

Dongfang Hao casually watched Dongfang Jun's farewell, and said in a soft voice, "Ah Jiu can earn more than [-] gold for this painting."

"It's necessary." Chu Sijiu squeezed his eyes narrowly, "The prince is so good at making money, I can't lag behind."

Dongfang Hao looked down at her, "Does Ah Jiu want to compete with this king?"

Chu Sijiu frowned, and sighed softly, "If I set my ambition to make a lot of money early in the morning, I might be able to compete with the prince. Now, if I can earn a fraction of the prince, I will be satisfied."

……

Here is another auction, another bickering, and it is very lively.

But they didn't know that in the imperial palace, there was a war of words going on with regard to Dongfang Hao's rightful concubine candidate.

One side has no objection, it is the old man Murong, but the other side is surprising, it is the new Zhongyong Hou Yan Qicheng.

　Dear friends: "Fuck, Zhongyonghou's Mansion is here!"

　　Liuliu: "Vote, vote, vote!"
