"Everyone! Next up is the finale of our auction, the "Peacock Picture" painted by Mr. Zhao on his sixteenth birthday! It is said that this is Mr. Zhao's proud work. Someone had offered a thousand taels before. Zhao The young master has not even been sold!" Liu Yuanhui said loudly.

Everyone came forward one after another and saw the "peacock" in the painting. It looked like a turkey with green feathers...

"So the painting was obtained by Yutangzhai at a cost of 1,500 taels, and it is also the last painting today. So the starting price is 1,800 taels!" Liu Yuanhui said loudly.

Most of the paintings bought by everyone in the audience exceeded their budget. Looking at this "Peacock Picture", they all hesitated.

"I heard Mr. Zhao say before that the highest bidder for the painting this time can go to the Liu Mansion to have dinner with Mr. Zhao. If you are lucky, King Yan will be there too..." Liu Yuanhui said, playing with the carrot in his hand.

Everyone bought these rubbish paintings in order to catch up with King Yan through Zhao Youliang. When Liu Yuanhui said that they would have a chance to meet King Yan, they immediately rushed to bid!

"I'll pay two thousand taels!"

"I'll pay two thousand two hundred taels!"

"Three thousand taels!"

"Old man! We must fight, right?" A wealthy businessman took off his boots and threw them at another wealthy businessman.

"How dare you hit me!" The wealthy businessman covered the shoe marks on his face and threw his hat over.

"And you! I have long disliked you!" Another wealthy businessman grabbed the beard of the wealthy businessman next to him and punched him!

"Bah!" another wealthy businessman spat out.

"..."

Then the old men off the court, whose average age was over fifty, started fighting!

They tear off their clothes, gouge their eyes, kick their private parts, and pull their beards. They do everything they can. The scene is extremely spectacular!

"Master... look at this..." Bailey looked at the scene in front of him with a look of disbelief.

Liu Yuanhui reached out and put aside a flying shoe and said: "Ahem! Isn't it good for the elderly to exercise? Just watch carefully. If you break something at home, let them pay for it! I'll squint for a while, and then I'll call after they finish. I!"

As Liu Yuanhui spoke, he leaned against the pillar of the pavilion and took a nap.

I saw sand and rocks flying in the courtyard for a while.

There was spit flying, curses, screams, and the sound of ripping clothes...

After a while, the auction at Jianbao Pavilion was over, and Cheng Yutang came to the back courtyard to find Liu Yuanhui.

Immediately afterwards, he was shocked by this messy scene.

Cheng Yutang circled around and came to the pavilion, and pushed Liu Yuanhui: "Master Liu? What is going on?"

When Liu Yuanhui saw it was Cheng Yutang, he stood up and rubbed his eyes and said, "Sister Cheng is here! The competition here is fierce. You sit down first and I'll take a look!"

Liu Yuanhui stood up and looked down at the pavilion. He saw a dozen middle-aged and elderly people lying on the ground with their bare feet and moaning with bruises and swollen faces. Their clothes were torn.

"How are you talking? Just now I remember that Li Cai and Li Daguan asked for three thousand taels! Is there anyone who wants to increase the price? If there is no one, I will give up!" Liu Yuanhui said and shook the carrot in his hand.

"Three thousand taels!! Did you all get this price?" Cheng Yutang opened his mouth wide and exclaimed.

"Shh! Sister Cheng, please stop talking!" Liu Yuanhui whispered to Cheng Yutang.

"Me! Me! I'll pay three thousand five hundred taels!"

Zhang Faxi, who opened a drug store, gasped and stretched out his fat arms.

"I offer 3,800 taels plus two land deeds!" Li Cai shouted, covering one eye.

"Old man surnamed Li! You fight so hard!? Well, I will fight with you to the end! I will pay you four thousand taels! Plus two drug stores!" Zhang Faxi said again.

"Fat Zhang! I'm afraid of you! I'll pay you 4,500 taels! Plus five land deeds!" Li Caidao said.

Everyone present was bruised and swollen as they watched the two bid so high, and no one said anything.

"I'll pay five thousand taels! Plus five medicine shops!" Zhang Faxi tore off the torn clothes on his upper body and said shirtless.

"Hey! I'll fight you to the end! I'll give you five thousand five hundred taels, six land deeds, and my gold tooth!" With a crisp click, Li Cai broke off his gold-inlaid front tooth! He glared at Zhang Faxi.

The competition between the two has reached a fierce stage.

"Wait a moment!"

Liu Yuanhui raised his hand and shouted, and everyone looked at him.

"Hehehehe, Yuanhui is ashamed. The "Peacock Picture" that was auctioned just now was not the last one. I accidentally left one behind and saw it!" Liu Yuanhui took out a scroll that he had hidden long ago and said.

Everyone almost fainted when they heard it, and Bailey didn't realize that the young master had hidden one.

"Ahem! How about this! I think Boss Li and Boss Zhang should stop arguing. Yuanhui will give these two future famous paintings to you respectively according to the quotations they just made! What do you think? ?”

Li Cai and Zhang Faxi looked at each other and hesitated after calming down.

Upon seeing this, Liu Yuanhui continued: "Then I will talk to Mr. Zhao and see if we can bring you two into Prince Yan's Mansion to have dinner with Prince Yan."

The two of them thought that if they could get an audience with King Yan and receive a huge amount of money for disaster relief, then the money they spent to buy the painting today would only be a dime.

"Deal!" Li Cai and Zhang Faxi said in unison.

"it is good!"

Liu Yuanhui said as he dropped the half-eaten carrot in his hand...

After a while, Li Cai and Zhang Faxi handed over the Tian deed and silver to Liu Yuanhui respectively.

"Congratulations to both of you!" Liu Yuanhui smiled and handed the two paintings to Li Cai and Zhang Faxi.

"Bailey! Go! Take that gold tooth to the fish pond and wash it well!" Liu Yuanhui said to Bailey.

Bailey walked off the pavilion with a look of disgust on his face.

Seeing that everyone in the courtyard was about to leave, Liu Yuanhui hurriedly said: "Dear ladies, please stay! Our Yutangzhai is a small business, and we can't compare with you. Everyone just got excited and made the courtyard a mess. I still need to spend money. For repairs, please leave five taels of maintenance fee per person! Thank you all!"

Liu Yuanhui bowed to everyone at the pavilion with a bright smile.

Everyone thought that after spending so much silver today, they still needed five taels, so they all left Yutangzhai after paying the maintenance fee of five taels.
