Chapter 949: How much do you want, how much do you have?
"As expected! I just said, how could the finale of today be to teach that fat pig a lesson?"
"Of course, teaching him a lesson did make me feel better."
Zhang Hong rubbed his hands with a smile - while Yu Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
At least everyone was surprisingly consistent in their attitude towards Chen Fuan. No one had been able to teach him a lesson before, but they just didn't have the chance.
When it comes to adding insult to injury, sometimes scholars are more ruthless than ordinary people.
"But... what Mr. Gu said about our benefactor..."
Zhuge Jin, who had already walked with Yu Fan and others, was muttering from the side.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to the two people who attracted the most attention in the room.
One is Yi Xiaotian who is chatting with Gu Shao, and the other is Gu Shao who has turned into a respectful state after experiencing the air just now.
No matter how you look at this combination, it makes people a little confused.
"Hey...could it be...that the noble person Master Huang mentioned is Brother Zhantang, right?"
I don’t know who mentioned it, but this idea instantly took root in everyone’s mind——
After having this awareness, they looked at Yi Xiaotian, and sure enough... everyone discovered the mysterious calmness in Yi Xiaotian.
If not a person of great ability, who could be as calm and calm as him at such an age?
Only Huang Xiang seemed a little absent-minded after experiencing the changes just now. After Yi Xiaotian saw his change, he asked Xu Beichen to help Huang Xiang to the side to rest.
"Just leave the rest to me."
He said so.
——
Of course, Yi Xiaotian didn't keep everyone waiting long.
Because he had made so many preparations just for this moment.
After nodding with Gu Shao next to him, Yi Xiaotian stood on the stage again.
Gu Shao on the side had already ordered some servants to go downstairs to prepare something.
Seeing Yi Xiaotian standing on the stage, everyone became quiet and waited quietly for Yi Xiaotian's explanation:
"Although some unpleasant things happened during the process, today's auction ends here."
"In addition to the calligraphy that Mr. Gu finally bought, it seems that everyone present has at least one copybook in hand - here, my ancestor, Master Huang, would like to thank you for your kindness, and in view of your kindness today, I would like to express my gratitude to you all.
I happen to have a batch of things on hand that you should be very interested in - just treat them as some small gifts and give them to you, I hope you don't dislike them."
After saying this, everyone looked at Yi Xiaotian blankly, and for a while they couldn't understand what Yi Xiaotian was thinking.
But as Yi Xiaotian reached out his hand, everyone looked towards the position where he reached out his hand.
At this moment, Gu Shao stood at the stairs, gesturing to the servants downstairs——
A large and heavy iron box was slowly carried upstairs by several people.
"This is…?"
Chunyu Shi on the side said doubtfully.
But obviously, no one can answer him.
——
Until the box is opened, no one can guess what is inside.
"A little care is nothing to worry about."
Yi Xiaotian added another sentence, seemingly not minding that the contents of the box were distributed to everyone present.
The more this happens, the more curious everyone becomes.
Finally, after Yi Xiaotian's instructions, Gu Shao asked people to open the box.
Immediately afterwards, there was a long period of silence.
…
The things in the box were naturally neither gold nor silver, but it happened to be like this, which made those literati who had always pursued it gradually go crazy.
"Stone?"
"The fart stone is an inkstone!"
It seemed like someone who didn't know the rules made a slight mention of it, but was yelled back by a group of people next to them whose jaws almost dropped.
At this glance, many people recalled that a few days ago, it was rumored that a top-quality inkstone was born at the entrance of Nawenren Alley on Wuxiang Street. In the following days, many people went to find out about it, and the results were all different.
Returned empty-handed.
At the table today, there are many people who have personally experienced this.
They all heard that...the inkstone was eventually given to the Emperor Elephant by the person who sold it. Until today's auction, many people did not believe this.
But after seeing the authentic writings written by Huang Xiang today, and feeling Huang Xiang's level of evolution, many people have already acquiesced in their hearts that Huang Xiang must have encountered some kind of fate.
The most likely scenario is that Huang Xiang got a top-quality inkstone.
Countless associations have all converged on one point at this moment.
As soon as an expert takes action, he will know whether it is there or not.
Zhang Hong was the first to stand up, swallowed hard, and then said to Yi Xiaotian nervously:
"Zhantang, this...this inkstone, can you allow me to inspect it up close?"
"My lord, if you please."
As Zhang Hong came out of the queue, everyone watched eagerly as Zhang Hong walked towards the large box of inkstones.
Everyone is waiting for Zhang Hong's statement - as a hidden calligrapher whose strength is greater than his fame, everyone believes in Zhang Hong's vision.
I saw Zhang Hong squatting slowly in front of the box. He didn't care about his identity or image. He casually touched an inkstone piled randomly in the box. He raised his hand, took it to the window, and turned it over and over facing the sunshine outside the window.
Looking at it.
at last--
In the end, Zhang Hong's steps faltered.
But this was not because he was old and frail, but because after he discovered the truth and saw the box of inkstones piled up like debris, his legs were shaking and he couldn't walk.
"Sir! Master Zhang! How...how is it?"
Someone asked hurriedly.
Everyone stared at Zhang Hong nervously. It was not until Zhang Hong calmed down the shock in his heart and turned to look at everyone that he spoke:
"yes…"
“It’s the best!”
——
In an instant, everyone went crazy. Except for the restraint of the literati who prevented them from rushing forward to grab it, everyone was crying and howling on the spot. This scene looked much scarier than hell.
Yi Xiaotian and Gu Shao, who knew everyone's mood, did not feel scared because of this. They just laughed and watched everyone vent their emotions wantonly.
——
I don’t know how long it took, people also made trouble and vented their emotions. Finally, someone came back to his senses and asked Yi Xiaotian:
"Brother Zhantang, you...you are not lying to us, are you?"
"Is it possible that you still don't know the value of these inkstones?"
"Yes, yes, these are the best inkstones...even...even if you have money, they are not treasures that can be bought casually!"
I gave it away as soon as I said I would, and many people were a little scared.
They were afraid that Yi Xiaotian had deceived them, and when Yi Xiaotian realized what he was doing, he would take it back. Then...such ups and downs were really torturous.
But Yi Xiaotian smiled and said:
"Of course I won't deceive you. In fact... I am a businessman who deals in inkstones. I am fortunate enough to travel here. Thanks to the relationship between this calligraphy exhibition and the auction, I hope to establish a good relationship with you."
"I have as many inkstones like this as I want."
What is generosity?
This is generosity!
How much, how much, who would dare to say that except Yi Xiaotian?
