Chapter 263 Guqin

Wu Yuechan stood on the stage with a blushing cheek. After hundreds of people staring and discussing, she felt extremely nervous. She had never appeared in public so much, and had to accept so many comments, which made her feel at a loss.

"Miss Yuechan doesn't need to be nervous. Just say your thoughts, the people of the Song Dynasty are all obliged to defend the country when the war of resistance and protection. Besides, you can come here. It is already an amazing move to be able to stand in the venue of the charity fair. Those present are all famous scholars from all walks of life in Qingyuan Prefecture. How could they laugh at you!"

Zhao Qi's voice was not loud, but when it was heard through the loudspeaker, the entire venue could be heard clearly, so the discussion in the entire venue soon calmed down.

With Zhao Qi's encouragement, Wu Yuechan seemed to feel a little more courageous and spoke to the entire venue with a slight blessing:

"First of all, I would like to thank all my friends who donated and participated in the charity sale for my grandfather far away in Ezhou. Then I would like to express my special thanks to Mr. Zhao Qi and Mr. Zhao from Xiaolongwan Harbor in Yanggong Town and Mr. Zheng, the shopkeeper who is preparing for the charity sale. It is your righteous act that can raise so much military pay for my grandfather and the soldiers on the front line of Ezhou. The little woman, who is a woman, can neither repay nor do anything. She came to the charity sale today and wanted to donate the same item for the auction. I hope to raise more military pay for the soldiers on the front line. Please see, the little woman donated this guqin..."

Two little maids placed the guqin on the wooden table where the auction items were placed in the center of the auction stand.

"This guqin was given by Mr. Xijian. It is said that it was used by Master Su. The back of the zither has the word "pine wind" and the bottom of the zither is the book "Shan Gu Ming Dongpo..."

"Wow~" Before Wu Yuechan finished speaking, there was a violent commotion at the scene. Many people stood up and pointed, especially the famous people invited to the private room on the second floor, all of whom were excited to squeeze into the window to look at it. Some people couldn't wait to run down from the second floor and headed straight to the auction table.

At this time, on the street outside Baihua Tower, the people who had watched the bustle for a day had already begun to disperse slowly.

Because someone had already notified him with a speaker just now that the charity sale had ended.

But just as these people began to retreat, news suddenly came from inside, and the granddaughter of Duke Chongguo, the third lady, came to the venue with mysterious donations. For a moment, the entrance of Baihua Tower was surrounded again and was covered in water.

At this time, Wu Yuechan was already sitting in front of the guqin, plucking the strings with her ten fingers slenderly to play a song for all the guests.

This may be the last time she played the guqin, so she played it very seriously. After playing the song, Wu Yuechan reluctantly caressed [Bayi Chinese website www.x81zw.info] touched the strings and stood up to salute again.

"Thank you all, this pine-style guqin, no matter who the buyer is, please treat it well. Yue Chan is very grateful!"

"This guqin is the favorite thing of Miss Yuechan. In order to donate to the front line, Miss Yuechan still donated it without hesitation. Although the military pay raised was donated to Duke Chong, our purpose was to resist the Mongols. This is righteousness and has no selfish interests. Therefore, while Zhao thanks you for your righteous acts, please cherish the items you bought and hope to take good care of. I hope that the friends I bought will cherish more..."

Zhao Qi said as he picked up the wooden hammer.

"Today's last shot means that this charity sale has really ended. I hope that friends who have not taken action will not miss this rare opportunity..."

While Zhao Qi was speaking, he also looked at a private room on the second floor intentionally or unintentionally.

In the elegant room, there were a few well-dressed old men sitting together, and one of them couldn't help but twitch a few times.

"Brother Lu, this piano is indeed a good thing. Do you want to take action?" An old man of similar age next to him whispered.

Many people were invited to this charity sale, and as a famous merchant in Yanggong Town and even the entire Qingyuan Mansion, the Lu family was naturally among the invitations. After receiving the invitation, Lu Yuntai hesitated and replied to attend.

But participating does not necessarily cost money, after all, the Lu family and Zhao Qi have a grudge.

There are also more than 500 guests, and there are only more than 300 items sold for charity. In addition to the officials and celebrities invited to witness, at least hundreds of people will return empty-handed. If they don’t buy anything, they will naturally not spend money and just come to join in the fun.

Lu Yuntai came here, and never took action from beginning to end. He was just going to be a spectator. If he didn't come, he would probably be ridiculed by his fellow businessmen and the people, but he couldn't blame him if he didn't buy it. There was always an excuse that could be explained.

Lu Yuntai was a little moved when asked by his companions. He didn't understand the guqin or the rhythm. However, the guqin used by Su Dongpo's inscriptions is hard to come by, and is even more rare than the calligraphy and paintings of famous people. The most important thing is that people like Ding Daquan likes to listen to music more than once. Ding Daquan likes to listen to music, and his family has a wide range of pipas and drums, and he also has a group of geisha.

If you buy this piano and give it to Ding Daquan, you will definitely get more benefits.

At this time, not only Lu Yuntai was moved, but at least half of the guests in the entire charity venue were moved. Su Houyou, who was sitting on the rostrum, was so excited that he could not help himself. Just when Wu Yuchan spoke about the Gu Mingshu, he couldn't wait to run up and take a closer look around the guqin. He became more and more excited as he looked. Finally, he touched the three words Dongpo Shu on the Mingshu, and his eyes turned red and even more swallowed.

"Okay, now you will start filming the Gu Yin guqin donated by Miss Yuechan. The starting price is 3,000 guan. Each increase must not be less than 100 guan. Now..."

Listening to the discussion at the venue, Zhao Qi didn't say much nonsense to announce the start of filming.

"Three thousand one hundred coins!"

"Three thousand three hundred stale!"

"Three thousand five hundred stale"

...

"Four thousand stakes!"

...

"Four thousand five hundred stale!"

...

"Five thousand stakes!"

"Five thousand three white pens!"

"Five thousand five hundred stale!"

"Five,800 stale!"

...

As soon as Zhao Qi finished speaking, the entire venue was filled with noise. Hundreds of hands were raised, and various quotations were heard. In just two minutes, the bid exceeded 5,000 guan, and soon exceeded 6,000 guan. The rapid change was dazzling, and Zhao Qi could not even report it, so he had to stand on the stage with a small hammer as a sculpture.

About five minutes later, the quotation exceeded 7,000 trump cards.

At this time, only a few people were still participating in the auction, and they were already very cautious when increasing the price, all of which were 100,000,000,000.

In fact, since the 6,000 guan, almost 90% of the people have stopped. Some have pulled their hair, some sighed, and almost looked annoyed.

The current price of 7,000 jin has long exceeded the current value of this guqin.

If I don't like it very much, I basically don't want to be a stick.

Some people originally wanted to use this to please Wu Yuechan and become familiar with Duke Chong in the future, but the price is far beyond the necessity of investment.

"Seven thousand two hundred stale!"

"Seven thousand three hundred stale!"

After more than 7,300 stakes, several people soon stopped. Only two people were still bidding for auction in the entire venue, one was a guest in the private room on the second floor, and the other was Su Houyou sitting on the rostrum.

"Brother Su, be careful. Although this is your ancestor, the price is too high!"

Zheng Zhen, Cao Feng and others smiled bitterly and advised Su Houyou not to be too persistent.

Although tea merchants like them have good family wealth, they are all wealth accumulated over the years and generations. Every year, tea is hard for a whole year, and their income is only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. Moreover, the tea quota is in the hands of the government. If you want to get the quota, you have to bribe officials. Moreover, the commercial tax this year is increased by 20%. In this way, it is estimated that the hard work of this year will only be 10,000 yuan in income.

As for Su Houyou's family background, it is even worse. Qiqianguan is probably the full profit of a year.

Su Houyou shook her head and refused to speak, but continued to compete with the guests on the second floor.

Zhao Qi stood at the auction table with a strange expression. The person who was calling for the price in the private room upstairs should be Lu Yuntai. Could it be that he had been stimulated by himself and wanted to earn back his face? But it shouldn't be. How could this old fox be so generous?

And he didn't understand why Su Houyou worked so hard.
