Gusu Liang reminded Court Lady Gu not to look upwards, but it was the first time Court Lady Gu had ever done such a thing, so it was inevitable that she would be a little weak, so she could only keep her head bowed very low, and it was only when she sat down in her own seat that she relaxed a little.
Shen Zhongbai had noticed Gusu Ran from the moment he entered, naturally there was no way he hadn't noticed that he had kept his head down the entire time, he waved his hand and beckoned his guards, "Go and take a look, what's the situation."
Gusu Liang took a wary glance at the surrounding people, and immediately also noticed that all of Court Lady Gu's current behaviors were really too eye-catching, and if they continued like this, I'm afraid that they would really reveal their footsteps and be discovered by Shen Zhongbai.
"Don't lower your head, raise your head, the same as when you normally talk." Gusu Liang just didn't think, originally when he was checking, he thought Shen Zhongbai would sit on the first floor, or the second floor seats near the railing, so as far as possible, he chose the position of Court Lady Gu in a place where Shen Zhongbai was unlikely to notice, but he didn't think that he would pick such a position, Shen Zhongbai could now see every move of the people underneath completely, it was really a bit dangerous.
Court Lady Gu also noticed her behavior, which was indeed a bit unusual and prone to attracting attention, and directly raised her head, but at this time, Gu Huai'an suddenly walked in front of her.
"Brother ..."
Gu Qiang court officials did not react for a moment, almost blurted out called brother, good in time to collect, now at this time, the first floor of the hall is noisy, in addition to their neighborhood of a few people with better ear, there is no one else heard the words of Gu Qiang court officials said just now.
"Young gentleman today good a nature, how also have time to come to the Chamber of Commerce?" Gu Huai'an naturally also noticed the abnormality of Gu Qiang's party, Shen Zhongbai who was sitting on the second floor had already noticed it, and there was no other way to do it himself, he could only come over to strike up a couple of conversations with Gu Qiang, and say it to Shen Zhongbai's men, so as not to cause any trouble.
"Mr. Gu, it's been many days since I've seen you, I wonder if you've come to the Chamber of Commerce today, but do you have something in your sights?"
The Chamber of Commerce so a place, in fact, is also for these businessmen can be legitimate to deal with some of the usual bad out of things, stay here most of the businessmen, are already have their own hearts want to, bidding for things, so will come to this place, Gusu Liang as a big family in Kyoto, will occasionally come to a lively, Gu Huai'an is a doctor, but also a businessman, the purpose of his coming here, most of them are also for some valuable medicinal herbs, but also for the businessmen, they are also the most expensive. Most of the time, he comes here for the sake of some valuable medicinal herbs.
Gusu Liang had inquired early on that there were indeed precious medicinal herbs amongst today's bidding items, and since this was the case, he also had to start with this medicinal herb to attract Shen Zhongbai's attention.
"There is naturally, I just hope that the young gentleman will wait for a while and not compete with me is all, this thing is very important to me, I hope that the young gentleman can look at the friendship between the grand duke and me and raise your hand."
Gu Huai'an nodded his head and bowed in the direction of Court Lady Gu, who also stood up and returned the bow.
"Mr. Gu is joking, I'm a young man who's just starting out, how can I compete with Mr. Gu's many years of experience in the Chamber of Commerce? If there's anything I need help with, just say so, and I'll do my best to help Mr. Gu."
Shen Zhongbai's men are naturally the content of the two of them talking to tell Shen Zhongbai word for word, his heart in fact has always understood, Gusu Liang and Gu Huai'an relationship between the two is very close, just today, Gusu Liang did not show up, on the contrary, Gusu Liang's younger brother came to this kind of occasions, it's hard not to be really like the president of the Chamber of Commerce said, this Gusu Ran, really is a business talent?
Chamber of Commerce this year's auction, indeed all top of the world are rare treasures, some things, even Shen Zhongbai have never seen, just, most of the Shen Zhongbai surprised, or this Gusu Ran out of the things.
Gu court ladies secretly went back to the nine king's mansion, in Busan rummage through the cupboard, also did not feel that what they have around them, is considered a rare treasure, and other merchants to take out the things, compared to their own things is simply not worth mentioning, Gusu Liang a look at Gu court ladies began to hesitate, this is the opening, "This take out to auction things are not important, it is important to let Shen Zhongbai find out that your ability, as for the value of the things you take out, it doesn't matter at all."
Gusu Liang was afraid that Court Lady Gu was continuing to dwell on this matter, so he simply dismissed this idea of Court Lady Gu directly, "Just take one piece with you, just this one!"
Without even looking at it, Gusu Liang took away a painting from Court Lady Gu's desk, but he didn't expect that this painting, today, would help them a lot.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Gusu has brought a painting today, I wonder which one of you can take it with you? This painting is not the work of a famous artist, but the brush strokes are delicate, and the person in the painting is also alive, this kind of workmanship is still rare today, I don't know which gentleman is willing to bid?"
Standing in the center, describing the painting also looks a little embarrassed, after all, even he did not expect, the recent reputation of the Gusu family's young gentleman, but will come up with such a pair of words that are not known to shoot, the painting of the painting is good, but it is a work of no name, not much of a famous painter, would not be worth any money, this young gentleman, is it such a person who has never seen the world?
"This painting ..." Gu Qiang's eyes also straightened at once, originally when Gusu Liang took this painting, she herself didn't realize it at all, and now that it's unfolded on the stage, she just thought of it.
What a coincidence that Gushu Ryou took this painting!
This is their own water before the painting, at that time of their own, but also a mind like Shen Zhongbai, the painting of the characters, most of them are a Shen Zhongbai as the prototype of the painting, in the nine king's house, the vast majority of them are also thrown in the Gu family, think it should have long been looking for, most of the painting is a scene, but also their own rare works of satisfaction, so only to stay, but I did not expect, but even by the Gusu Liang hand! I didn't expect that it would be casually used by Gusu Liang as a bidding item!
Noticing something strange about Court Lady Gu's expression, Gusu Liang hurriedly came up, "What's wrong, is there something wrong with that painting?"
Theoretically, you can't take back a lot that's on the stage, but if there's never any bidding, you'll get it back, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Court Lady Gu frowned, "No." I only hope that Shen Zhongbai, at that distance, would not see what was on the painting, that it was him in person, if it was any other scene, it would be just that, but this one, it was the scene by the lake when Shen Zhongbai was hunting in the paddock, it was hard to guarantee that Shen Zhongbai would not have an impression of it.
Although her mouth said it was fine, Court Lady Gu still drilled up her sleeve.
Probably because this painting is not a masterpiece, so half a day there is no one bid, Gu court officials this only a little breath of relief, did not expect, just at this time, Shen Zhongbai suddenly stood up, "This painting, seems to be near the royal paddock, think the painting of the person, should also be the Kyoto in the official son of the children, just did not book on the name of the just, in my opinion, is a good work of art. In my opinion, it is a good masterpiece, are you all shopkeepers, really not ready to bid?"
"I'll bid a hundred taels." A calligraphy and painting workshop boss trembling bid, after all, this is the emperor are personally said masterpiece, he is even more can not miss.
When she heard someone bid, Court Lady Gu put her heart down, as long as Shen Zhongbai didn't take the painting in the end, it meant that Shen Zhongbai didn't realize the problem in the painting.
There was constant bidding in the Chamber of Commerce, and at the end of the day, the painting was bought by an out-of-town calligraphy and painting workshop owner, and Gu Qiangqiang was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Don't slack off, here's what we want."
Qi Bai looked around vigilantly, Gu Huai'an also returned to his position early, the preciousness of this medicinal herb Gu Qiang was not clear, but this was considered an important opportunity for him to show off his skills in front of Shen Zhongbai today, and he must not miss it.
"One thousand taels." Before the person on the stage could open his mouth to introduce himself, someone else opened his mouth to make a bid.
"This girl really has good eyesight, this medicine was planted by Mr. Longyuan himself, the legendary healing elixir that can flesh white bones, for all of you who walk the rivers and lakes, it can be considered the best elixir."
"Five thousand taels!" Gu Huai'an also did not expect, the auction will be temporarily do switch, this was only a purple bamboo grass, although rare, but also not precious to this point, he did not want to do too much argument with others, this medicine whether they or the court's son to get it, can be, must not fall into the hands of others.
"Mr. Gu is still really generous ..." Shen Zhongbai nodded, this Gu Huai'an is worthy of being a world famous divine doctor, for Mr. Longyuan's elixir, surely he won't miss it.
"Seven thousand!" The woman who started the bidding directly bid seven thousand without even considering it, Gusu Liang saw the girl, seemed to frown, and hurriedly touched Gu Qiang's shoulder, "Don't be in a hurry to bid, wait for that woman's highest price."
Their original plan was to let the Gu court ladies give this medicine to Gu Huai'an in a smooth manner, just to have an echo with the previous situation, but they didn't want to kill a Cheng Bite Jin in the middle of the road, this is only a short three times the bidding is about to exceed 10,000, and Gu Huai'an continues to go down, Shen Zhongbai is afraid that he is going to be skeptical.
"Ten thousand taels." Gu Huai'an for Mr. Longyuan's elixir, is absolutely do not want to miss, he turned back to look at has not been out of the marriage of Gu Qiang, but saw the Gusu Liang to his own gestures, indeed, if this woman continues to call down the price of the words, he will indeed die yo may not be able to hold on to it, it seems to need to see the good thing, too.
"Mr. Gu, isn't it a bit too ridiculous to ask for 10,000 taels for such a small box of herbs?" The woman stood up and said with a smile in Gu Huai'an's direction, seemingly deciding to withdraw from the bidding.
