The Wang family has no official position in the imperial court, but it is one of the most wealthy businessmen in the capital. Moreover, the eldest daughter of the royal family was also chosen by the emperor in the thousand-year talent show and was made a concubine. Therefore, they became an even more prominent family in the capital.
Nangong Jin raised his eyes and looked at Wang Chi: "I didn't expect that Young Master Wang would also be interested in this thing. This general is really surprised!"
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Wang has always liked arty elegance. Although he is not very talented, he likes to collect favorite paintings. I didn't expect that the general protecting the country also has such an elegant taste!"
Overtly or covertly, the two of them showed their rivalry in their politeness.
Yu Tianrong, who was upstairs, looked at the visitor with some searching eyes: "Bingxuan, who is this person?"
"Madam, the Wang family can be said to be a wealthy family in the capital. It is not an exaggeration to call it the richest man. This person is the current head of the Wang family, Wang Chi. The eldest son of the Wang family."
"Oh, he is a businessman and also likes painting?"
Xi Bingxuan smiled slightly: "Madam, don't get me wrong. Although Wang Chi is a businessman, he has always been an elegant young man and has good friendships with many literati in the capital."
He has a dignified appearance and can be regarded as a handsome young master, but his eyes reveal the shrewdness of a businessman! Yu Tianrong never expected that he had just held an auction and actually provoked the richest man in the capital and the general protecting the country.
"Madam, General Protector may be here for you. Some people inquired about the painting garden two days ago. However, I didn't want to alert others, so I didn't alert them. Now that I think about it, those two spies are from General Protector.
.”
Yu Tianrong smiled coldly: "Inquire about me, is there anything else worthy of his attention?"
Xi Bingxuan shrugged and said ambiguously: "I have to ask the general protecting the country. Maybe the general protecting the country regrets driving his wife out!"
He rolled his eyes and said, "Shut up! Don't think I don't understand. Are you going to say that if General Protector wants to recall me, will I cling to him and cling to his big tree?"
Xi Bingxuan smiled lightly: "Madam is really thoughtful, how dare Bingxuan!"
Yu Tianrong glared at him angrily: "Why don't you dare! Go and tell them that the auction will continue, and I can go home and rest after it's over!"
Xi Bingxuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw her angry look, but he still suppressed a smile and walked out of the corridor: "The owner said that General Meng Huguo and the eldest young master of the Wang family value it, so let's continue the auction of this painting, and the highest bidder will get it!"
Nangong Jin glanced upstairs coldly: That woman was indeed inside, what tricks did she want to play?
The shopkeeper looked at Nangong Jin and Wang Chi: "General Protector of the Country, Master Wang, look at -"
Wang Chi chuckled: "I want to buy it!"
Nangong Jin smiled and hid his sword: "In this case, I will pay three thousand taels!"
"Four thousand taels!"
Nangong Jin glanced at Wang Chi: Is this guy just looking for trouble?
"There are so many beauties in the general's mansion. I'm afraid these paintings are not as eye-catching as those beauties in the general's eyes, but Wang loves painting more than women. Why don't the general fulfill Wang's hobby?" Wang Chi looked at Nangong Jin with a smile on his face.
.
Nangong Jin's cold eyes flashed with anger, was he mocking himself?
"What a pity, I also want these paintings, five thousand taels!"
Wang Chi looked at Nangong Jin with some confusion. Normally Nangong Jin would never spend his energy on such elegant things, but today he actually came to buy the painting in person. Is there some secret that he didn't know about?
However, he really liked that painting! When his second brother came back with the painting in his arms, he fell in love with it at first sight. Hearing that the auction was still going on, he even left his guests and came to have a look, but he didn't know that every painting was unique.
After catching his eye, he stood up and called out the price!
"General, it's really... six thousand taels!" Wang Chi believed that his financial resources were not even half inferior to those of the General's Mansion. The General Protecting the Country was powerful, but he was not worried about those things.
Nangong Jin's cold face couldn't be colder. Wang Chi must have made it clear today that he wants to compete with him!
"Well, General, Master Wang, I don't think it's better, how about you share three paintings each equally. Although this is a bit regretful, it also allows both adults to gain something..." The shopkeeper is a good person. Seeing that the situation is deadlocked, he will say
The price is too high, it’s simply astronomical!
Wang Chi glanced at Nangong Jin: "Okay, then, how about asking the general to give up some of his love and let Wang get three of them?"
Nangong Jin's face softened: "Okay! This general doesn't want to overly steal people's love."
The shopkeeper felt relieved: "Then, that painting will be -"
"Wang and the general will take turns to choose one each. General, please go first!" Wang Chi showed his respect and generosity appropriately.
Nangong Jin received his overtures, and his dissatisfaction was reduced a bit. In the end, he asked for three pictures: The Eagle Spreading Its Wings, So Many Beautiful Countrysides, and Small Bridges and Flowing Waters. The remaining pictures include White Snow in Spring, Beautiful Snow Country, and Immortals.
Wang Chi asked for the diagram of the couple.
