Chapter 941: Chen Fuan’s Fight with the Trapped Beast
I don’t know how long Huang Xiang had been practicing for making this speech. Although there were not many people around the round platform, the eyes that were looking at him were all very noble.
Being able to finish this opening statement completely and smoothly under such a scorching gaze, Huang Xiang has regained most of his self-confidence.
Yu Fan, Zhang Hong and others were leading the way to support the emperor.
As they cheered and applauded, the dignitaries in the city also looked at them.
The atmosphere was heated up instantly.
In this atmosphere, Huang Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, slowly came down the stage, and met several "distinguished guests".
Needless to say, Yu Fan and Zhang Hong were pure members of their own family. They came up to chat with the emperor, and to ask about today's "final show".
"Xiuming! It seems that you are in pretty good condition today?"
"Xiuming, it's so gratifying to see you, Xiu Ming, so radiant."
Zhang Hong and Yu Fan were on the left and right. These two people were old friends. In the past few days, they also had a series of exchanges after learning about the calligraphy exhibition at the same time.
The news from Yu Fan and Zhang Hong about the "grand finale" of the Calligraphy Exhibition was also widely circulated among the guests who were invited to the banquet.
It can be said that many people who are not actually interested in the word Huang Xiang want to see what the mysterious arrangement in today's rumors is like.
Of course - these people also include Yu Fan and Zhang Hong.
"Haha, there are two people who came to the exhibition to support me. If I am still not in a good state, wouldn't I be letting them down?"
Huang Xiang saw the extremely friendly expressions of the two distinguished people, and the pressure in his heart suddenly eased.
While chatting with the two of them, he took the drink from the maid next to him - these maids were specially delivered by Linlang Pavilion to the big customers who had booked the entire restaurant. I heard that most of these maids were from the Western Regions.
The dancers and musicians who came to the Central Plains were not only pretty merchants, but also good at service, and all of them had unique skills.
For a time, apart from those who came with a clear purpose to study Huang Xiang's calligraphy, the rest of the guests who had not had much interest in staying at this calligraphy exhibition also showed great joy.
"Come! I'll drink this cup first as a token of respect!"
Huang Xiang was extremely happy today. Even in his youth and heyday, he had never had such a glorious moment. Yi Xiaotian had realized his dream, not to mention how grateful he was to Yi Xiaotian now.
"Hahaha, come on, come on! Do it!"
Zhang Hong and Yu Fan also smiled like Huang Xiang, raised their heads and drank the wine in one gulp.
It is said to be a calligraphy exhibition, but in fact, this calligraphy exhibition is more like a large banquet.
As for calligraphy - there is only one person in the Imperial Elephant. No matter how many there are, they are still limited. After watching the calligraphy exhibition and before the final auction, it was a time for everyone to socialize and have fun.
However, after several people finished drinking, Yu Fan still asked quietly from the side while they were slightly tipsy:
"Then again, Brother Xiu Ming, it's already now, can't you still tell us the final arrangements for today?"
"Yes, yes, it's not just the two of us. In the past few days, people like Zhuge Jin and Chun Yushi have been looking for us to ask about this matter. Don't try to interest us anymore."
Zhang Hong and Yufan looked like they were very old, but in fact when they encountered such interesting things, they all behaved like children.
Everyone has curiosity. They had already let the news out, but when it came to the end, they still couldn't help it.
But when it comes to such critical matters, Huang Xiang still remains calm——
This is something Yi Xiaotian told him. The more excited he is about this kind of thing, the more cautious he will be.
Upon hearing the inquiry from the two people in front of him, Huang Xiang quickly shook his head and waved his hand:
"No, no! No matter what you say today, this arrangement must be left to the end. You two, don't make it difficult for me. I can't disobey your noble request -"
"Hey, look at you, you sound like a noble person. Could it be that the noble person you are talking about is the boy named Zhantang? I remember that before that boy came, you looked miserable every day.
…”
Zhang Hong patted his head and seemed a little angry...but well...he wouldn't get into trouble with Huang Xiang because of this kind of thing.
After joking for a while, he planned to leave with Yu Fan.
How dare Huang Xiang speak? Is it possible that he wants to tell the other party, "Yes, it's him"?
He felt that even if he said this, the other two would not believe it.
Of course, Huang Xiang miscalculated that Yu Fan was wary of Yi Xiaotian - but in short, Huang Xiang was tight-lipped, leaving the two of them at a loss for a while.
But...just when the two were about to leave.
Chen Fuan is here.
Chen Fu'an probably didn't see clearly how Yu Fan and Zhang Hong turned their backs, so he just walked straight towards the imperial elephant——
"Hey! You...you...what are you doing! You...let me down!"
Feeling the weightlessness on his feet, Huang Xiang felt a pressure on his neck, and Chen Fuan directly grabbed him by the collar and lifted him into the air.
Huang Xiang was really panicked now. There were all the people in the hall. He really didn't expect that Chen Fuan would dare to be so blatant.
The key is...the key is that his daughter is not far away at the moment, staring at him closely with that resentful look...
This made Huang Xiang feel like he had fallen from heaven to earth in an instant - and he had personally experienced the suffering in the world.
"Immortal! I came here today to give you face! But...you...how dare you deceive me?"
"I! I...I didn't! You...what are you talking about!"
Huang Xiang was struggling in mid-air, while Chen Fuan had sweat and anger on his face.
He was mad because he searched around this floor for most of the time. He even took the risk of being rude and being looked down upon. He checked the faces of the people present one by one, but... among the crowd, there was no one.
The one he wanted to find——
"Gu Shao... ahem... Where are Mr. Gu and others? You lied to me before and said that Mr. Gu would also come to the calligraphy exhibition, but where are others?"
Chen Fuan was really mad.
Most people may not understand how difficult it is to recruit Gu Shao - the eldest son of one of the four surnames in Wu County, the designated heir of Gu Yong, and the eldest son of the Gu family who is extremely famous in Jiangdong. I don’t know how many wealthy businessmen have spent a lot of money on it.
I have a lot of money just to have a relationship with him.
Among them is Chen Fuan.
In order to get rid of the Zhang family, Chen Fuan has spent thousands of taels of money to match the Gu family.
In the end, he only got a letter from Gu Shao once.
What happens after the promise?
There is no cooperation.
There is no communication.
How can Chen Fuan calm down when he is in an awkward situation now that he has never even met?
This opportunity happened to appear in front of him, and he wanted to make friends with the other person and break through the predicament in one go.
