Chu Xian plans to go to Ancheng to sell his paintings, Lingxian is a small place, and Ancheng is a big city, and there are people who know the goods, and they are willing to be vassals and elegant, and they also pay a starting price. The most important thing is that Anseong has a 'Moon Crown Building', which is an elegant place, where Anseong scribes and university students gather, and there are many people who hang calligraphy and paintings diagonally on the wall, which means that they want to sell, if anyone sees it, they will directly straighten the painting, it is considered to be an intentional purchase, as for how much money, it all depends on where the calligraphy and painting are placed.

Seven floors up and down the moon crown building, there is also the name of the seven-story treasure pavilion, that is a layer higher than one floor, not only calligraphy and painting, but also other good things, the lowest price of things sold on the lowest floor, at most is more than a dozen taels of silver, and then increase layer by layer, to the seventh layer, any piece of ink treasure, the price is not what ordinary people can imagine. Naturally, those on the upper floor are all works of famous artists, and as for the first floor, most of them are paintings by unknown people, so the price cannot be too high.

Chu Xian is self-aware, his target this time is only the lowest floor of the Yueguan Tower, because if he can take the painting to the Yueguan Building and sell it on consignment, he can at least exchange it for ten taels of silver, and these money can already buy some key medicinal materials.

From Lingxian to Ancheng, it is only thirty miles, it is a walk, and it doesn't take half a day to go back and forth, so Chu Xian didn't delay, and told his mother that he was going to Ancheng to visit his classmates and got up, and when he arrived in Ancheng all the way, it only took more than an hour.

The size of Anseong is far from being comparable to that of a small Ling County, and the towering tower of Anseong alone is ten zhang high, and the streets and alleys are full of people, showing prosperity.

The Tiantang Holy Dynasty, the immortal martial arts are respected, the literary style is prosperous, and the Yueguan Tower is the favorite place for these people to go.

The moon crown floor is on the bank of the South River in the city, climb the tower to watch the river and look at the moon, sweep away at a glance, you can see the boat painting boat in the river, the slight breeze, show the elegance.

Thirty years in the dream, after Chu Xian entered the office, he also occasionally came to this Yueguanlou a few times, to be honest, Chu Xian's dream as an official, is only enough to drink here a few times, as for buying some things, there is no need to think about it.

Chu Xian in the dream is a poor official.

Because he had been here, Chu Xian quickly found the steward of the Yueguan Tower.

On weekdays, there are a lot of poor scholars who come to consign calligraphy and paintings in Yueguanlou, so the steward has long been accustomed to it, and even they have a special gentleman to identify Mobao, which is all old literary talents, or even students who have not entered the list, or calligraphy and painting, and their vision has nothing to say.

Following the steward, Chu Xian arrived at a room, where there were already several people in ordinary clothes, old and young, obviously waiting to appraise calligraphy and paintings, to see if they could enter the Yueguan Building and sell it at a good price.

Chu Xian waited for a while, and when it was his turn to enter the room, he saw a middle-aged scribe sitting behind a wooden table.

"Whether it's a word or a painting, take it out and take a look. The middle-aged scribe said disapprovingly, and didn't even raise his eyelids, after all, he had to receive a lot of such poor scholars every day, and most of them were swept back by him.

If you want to sell calligraphy and painting on consignment in Yueguan Building, they generally don't accept it at all.

Chu Xian immediately spread the painting on the table and unfolded it, the middle-aged scribe glanced at it, and said: "The painting is not bad, but if the painting is not paid, it is not a master's work, and the price will not be too high." ”

Chu Xian said: "I know the rules. ”

"That's good. The middle-aged scribe was also refreshed, and looked carefully at this picture of the lotus pond at sunset, and indeed felt good, so he said: "Generally, if you are not famous, you will give you fifteen taels at most, and I will give you twelve taels for this one." ”

Twelve taels of silver is enough for a family of four to eat and drink for a year, and for Chu Xian, it can also be used for emergency purposes temporarily, so Chu Xian nodded and did not negotiate again.

After all, selling paintings is just a temporary move for him, and he needs to use it to buy medicine, and as for the future, Chu Xian has other ways to make money, so this is the case.

The middle-aged scribe was very neat, and soon the money and painting were clear, Chu Xian said goodbye and left, and the middle-aged scribe called a guy to hang the painting on the lowest floor, waiting to be sold.

It is said that although the Yueguan Building collects calligraphy and paintings for sale, but because the threshold is very high, sometimes it may not be possible to receive one all day, today this single is considered to be early, and the guy took the painting and soon hung it in a very inconspicuous corner of the lowest floor of the Yueguan Building.

After hanging up, no one looked at it for most of the day, after all, everyone knew that the calligraphy and paintings on the lowest floor of the Yueguan Building were very ordinary, and few people paid attention to the calligraphy and paintings on this floor.

However, on this night, when the moon crown tower put up a lantern to welcome guests, everyone outside the door surrounded an old man and came in.

This old man is dressed in a robe, with an extraordinary temperament, walking with dragon and tiger steps, but without losing his elegance.

It is the owner of the Yueguan Building, and it is rare to appear at this moment, accompanying him.

"Lord Wei is really a rare guest, when you come, the entire Yueguan Building is full of brilliance. The owner of Yueguan Building said very respectfully.

Ordinary officials naturally don't need to be so polite, after all, if he can open the Yueguan Tower in Ancheng, how can he not have a background, but the old man he called Lord Wei in front of him is not an ordinary person.

That is Sima of the Ancheng Military Mansion, from the official position of the fifth grade, he controls the Ancheng city defense and the surrounding soldiers, and is extremely powerful, in addition, he is also a martial arts master who refines qi and transforms gods.

Who would dare to offend such a person?

The old man nodded and said, "I came today to invite one of my elder brothers to drink wine and admire the moon. ”

"That's natural, Lord Wei, please!" The owner of Yueguanlou is also a person with eight faces, he was secretly shocked in his heart, the one who could let Wei Zhen, the Sima of the Ancheng Military Mansion, treat him, was definitely not an ordinary person, so he glanced at the people who followed Wei Zhen.

This person seems to look a little familiar.

The official of Ancheng, a businessman like the owner of Yueguanlou, is like a treasure, and the one in front of him must also be an official, but he must have not seen it a few times, so he is not familiar with it.

But it doesn't matter, with Yueguanlou's ability, it's too easy to check a person.

So after settling a few people, the owner of the Yueguan Building will know the situation.

The guest invited by Sima Wei Zhen of the military government was Cui Huanzhi, the pen officer and judge of the Ancheng Gongyuan.

Although Cui Huanzhi is also from the official position of the sixth grade, in the Gongyuan, there are many such officials, and the most important thing is that he has no real power, and it is impossible to compare with Wei Zhen, the military Sima, in any aspect.

But today, Wei Zhen actually invited Cui Huanzhi to drink.

This is a bit intriguing.

The owner of Yueguanlou also has a backstage, and his backstage is also a figure in Ancheng officialdom, so he immediately reported the news.
