Chapter 215 Dogs Fighting!
"I'll offer two thousand five hundred taels!"
Another person stepped forward and made an offer.
“I can’t tell exactly how well this calligraphy is written, but looking at it, I feel inexplicably excited. Of all the calligraphy and paintings I’ve seen, only this one gives me that feeling,” explained the merchant who made the bid.
"Two thousand six hundred taels!"
Someone else has jumped in to get involved!
The price of this calligraphy and painting jumped to three thousand taels at the end of summer.
Did you think that was the maximum amount of three thousand taels?
"I'll offer three thousand one hundred taels!"
Another person stepped forward and made a bid, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
Previously, the bidders were all men, adding 100 or 50 taels at a time. Now, the bidder is a woman, and a beautiful young woman with a maidservant.
Everyone present couldn't help but wonder about the identity of this young woman.
"I am Lady Wei, the third young master of the Marquis of Wei's mansion," Ma Yiyi introduced herself with a dignified posture and a loud yet graceful voice.
Currently, there is no one present who has a higher status than Ma Yiyi.
For a moment, everyone looked at each other, hesitating whether to raise the price.
Ma Yiyi stood in front of Mr. Yuanshan's calligraphy and painting, staring blankly at them. In reality, what she saw was a constantly flashing light screen in front of her.
Instead of bullet comments, the screen displayed a system message notification box.
Live Streaming System: Host Ma Yiyi, please buy this painting no matter how much silver it costs!
The live streaming system sensed a mysterious power in the painting that it did not understand, and it would not tell Ma Yiyi about it.
So Ma Yiyi stepped forward and started bidding, even bringing up her status in an attempt to pressure others and save money on the calligraphy.
Outside the calligraphy and painting studio, in the late summer, he still leaned lazily against the wall, a hint of mockery playing on his lips.
Using the painting as a medium, she deliberately left some of her spiritual energy on it, so that the live streaming system could also capture some unknown energy through the data.
really……
Ma Yiyi, who lived nearby, arrived first.
"I'll offer four thousand taels!"
A short while later, more people appeared.
The man didn't see Ma Yiyi, nor did he hear her self-introduction. As soon as he arrived, he eagerly asked the person next to him where the calligraphy and painting were valued, and then shouted out the price.
"His-"
“May I ask who this young master is? I am the wife of the third young master of the Wei family.” Ma Yiyi’s heart tightened. She hadn’t expected that someone would make a bid after hearing her identity. She immediately brought up her status and gritted her teeth, saying, “I bid four thousand one hundred taels.”
Ma Yiyi was still reluctant to spend more money to buy the painting.
"Oh, Madam Wei, is Madam Wei preparing to go to the palace to see Consort Wei?" The person who came was no ordinary person. Young Master Li greeted her with a smile, then his expression turned serious and he said, "I will offer five thousand taels."
Ma Yiyi clenched her molars.
At that moment, more people rushed out.
"I'll offer six thousand taels!"
Ma Yiyi and the young man who made the bid both looked at the boy who had come later.
"The highest bidder wins. Surely you can afford to pay the price?" asked the young Master Lan later.
“I am the wife of the Third Young Master of the Marquis of Wei’s household. You can call me Madam Wei,” Ma Yiyi once again used her status to intimidate others.
"Hehe, so it turns out your family has produced a concubine, and you're from the Wei family, the maternal uncle of the Seventh Prince," Young Master Lan chuckled nonchalantly, "I heard that you, Madam, also have excellent calligraphy skills, why bother competing with me for a piece of calligraphy and painting?"
"I'll bid six thousand taels," Young Master Li glanced disdainfully at Ma Yiyi, who was trying to use her status to pressure others into giving her the fine calligraphy and painting, and directly called out to Young Master Lan who had arrived later.
“I’ll offer seven thousand taels,” Young Master Lan said again.
"Has the bid already reached seven thousand taels? I'll offer seven thousand one hundred taels... Is there any chance I can get the painting?"
Unexpectedly, someone else raised their hand and timidly chimed in.
Everyone present turned to look at the person who had spoken.
"This……"
A fine painting is worth only around ten thousand taels of silver, but Ms. Yuanshan is still alive! Her calligraphy and paintings are now priced at over seven thousand taels… This is truly…
Many of the onlookers felt a bit dizzy.
That's seven thousand taels!
"And who are you?! How dare you stand up and bid?" Ma Yiyi suppressed her anger but couldn't hold back and asked loudly.
Before Ma Yiyi could even find out the person's identity, another person got involved.
"Seven thousand one hundred taels? Then I'll offer ten thousand taels. This painting, no matter how expensive, shouldn't be more than ten thousand taels, right?" The newcomer also had a beard and was a middle-aged man. Judging from his clothes and other details, he was also a person of extraordinary status.
"..."
Outside the calligraphy and painting studio, Xia Mo, who was lazily leaning against the wall, suddenly lost her lazy expression, and her eyes lit up.
The dogs are fighting!
nice!
The capital city was truly bustling, and the scene inside the calligraphy and painting studio was even more lively.
One of her paintings has really attracted a lot of people!
At this moment, the six people bidding all looked determined to win, and they were all people who owned live streaming systems.
Their live streaming systems all convey a message to their hosts, instructing them to obtain the painting at all costs. However, their hosts are unaware of why the live streaming systems are so insistent on having that particular painting.
Six people, each with their own live streaming system, are strangers to each other, and their systems are not connected to each other.
Inside the calligraphy and painting studio—
When the price of a painting by a living artist was raised to ten thousand taels of silver, the scene fell into an eerily quiet silence once again.
It was at this moment that the six-person live streaming system realized that there were others like them, explored the area, and began to interconnect.
The data from the six people's live streaming systems were interconnected like data cables, but their hosts remained unaware of it.
The live streaming system for the five people popped up a new notification: "The tallest tree in the forest catches the most wind; we can't raise the price any further, and it's okay if we don't win the bid for the painting."
When Ma Yiyi saw that she didn't have to pay a high price for the calligraphy, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After the price of calligraphy was raised to ten thousand taels, that amount of money was beyond her control, and she... couldn't afford that much money.
The live stream system indicated that they had given up. The other four people, who had actually gotten angry from raising the price, still felt a little unwilling, but they listened to the system's instructions and stopped bidding.
Finally, Mr. Yuanshan's calligraphy and painting were acquired by the middle-aged man who arrived last.
"Ten thousand taels. You can send someone with me to the mansion to collect it." The middle-aged man didn't know the mystery of the painting, but he still carefully put it away.
As the middle-aged man received the calligraphy and painting, the screen in front of him transformed into a task interface, prompting him that he had completed a random task and obtained "Rice Cultivation Technology".
The middle-aged man remained calm and did not immediately accept the gift.
Xia Mo also wanted a copy of the book "Rice Cultivation Technology," so she simply attached her consciousness to the middle-aged man.
She was already thinking about what she could get in return for bringing the book "Rice Cultivation Technology" with Huangfu Qian.
