Lin Chen also saw the expressions of Ye Menghuang's parents. There was no disgust or disgust in their eyes, but they looked a little solemn. Maybe they felt that as a rural person, they were not worthy of their daughter.
Parents all over the world hope that their daughters will marry well. Moreover, since Ye Menghuang is so outstanding, it is normal for the other party to have higher demands, so he doesn't mind.
Hearing Qiu Zhenwei's words, he realized that he had indeed forgotten to bring something, which was a bit rude. But at first, he didn't know that Ye Menghuang would play this trick and call himself her suitor.
!
Before Lin Chen could speak, Ye Menghuang had already said coldly: "Qiu Zhenwei, why are you talking? Do you have a strong opinion against the countryside? According to me, your grandfather seems to be a rural person too!"
Qiu Zhenwei's face stiffened and he said awkwardly: "Menghuang, I didn't mean that. I just thought it was very rude for him to come here without a gift for the first time."
Ye Menghuang frowned, but she felt a little sorry for Lin Chen in her heart. She originally wanted to bring him over for a meal to thank him, but in the end, because Qiu Zhenwei was here, she described him as her suitor, and her stance changed, every move she made
The meaning is different.
If Lin Chen came to accept their thanks, then it would be okay if he didn't bring a gift, but if he came as her suitor and didn't bring something, then he didn't know etiquette.
It doesn’t matter what you bring, but you must always show your intention.
At this time, she could not say that Lin Chen was not pursuing her at all, and she felt more and more disgusted with Qiu Zhenwei in her heart. She frowned and said: "Whether Lin Chen brought something here, what does it have to do with you? I am our family's business, so you don't need to worry about it!"
"
Ye Chenglin couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said: "Sister, why are you so protective of him? What does this guy do to you? In this case, if you don't know how to bring something to the door, it means that you are not very important in his heart. We don't care either.
It’s not that I’m greedy for what he has, I just have the intention!”
"You're the only one who talks too much!" Ye Menghuang glared at Ye Chenglin.
She also has some headaches about this younger brother. Ye Chenglin is very smart and has good academic performance. He will graduate from Nanhua University this year. However, he has a bit of a naughty personality and refuses to be disciplined. He doesn't listen to anyone and no one can control him.
When Qiu Zhenwei saw Ye Chenglin standing on his side, he couldn't help but smile on his face, full of pride, and looked at Ye's father and said: "Uncle Ye, come here today, I brought a picture specially for you."
"Oh?" Father Ye showed some interest on his face.
If the other party was sending something valuable away, he wouldn't care. However, Qiu Zhenwei was obviously very good at getting what he wanted, but he still wanted to give him a piece of writing.
Although Father Ye has his own career, he also has a hobby, which is calligraphy!
He also has high attainments in calligraphy and is a member of the Provincial Calligraphy Association. Ye Menghuang's love for classical things such as Guqin and Guzheng was also influenced by her father.
Qiu Zhenwei smiled and took out a piece of calligraphy from the bag he brought with him. He glanced at Lin Chen proudly and spread the piece of calligraphy on the table.
The paper of this calligraphy has become a little yellowed, and the words on it are also very simple. It says "dragon and phoenix present auspiciousness, everything goes well" in eight big characters, signed by Dong Qichang, and stamped with Dong Qichang's seal!
Dong Qichang, one of the top ten calligraphers in ancient China, was the most outstanding and influential calligrapher and painter in Wanqing. If this calligraphy is true, even if it only has eight characters, it would be priceless!
The four words "dragon, phoenix, and auspiciousness" above also correspond to the situation of the Ye family. The two children of the Ye family are named Ye Menghuang and Ye Chenglin. Obviously, Father Ye hopes that his children will be dragons and phoenixes among men!
Sure enough, after Qiu Zhenwei spread out the calligraphy, Father Ye's eyes shone a little. After looking at it carefully, he couldn't help but smile. He obviously liked the calligraphy very much.
"The authentic work of Dong Qichang is not bad, it is a good thing. It looks like a dragon and a phoenix, which is really good."
Father Ye's face was full of joy, but in the end he shook his head and looked at Qiu Zhenwei, "Zhenwei, this calligraphy is very good, but your gift is too expensive, and I can't accept it. I accept it with your heart."
His attitude towards Qiu Zhenwei at this time was a little more enthusiastic than before. After all, the other party's intentions are here, which is rare and valuable!
Qiu Zhenwei smiled and said: "Uncle Ye, although I spent some money, the main thing is that you like it. I have brought these words with me. I can't take them back. Otherwise, my dad will say that I am ignorant when I go back."
His mother also smiled and echoed at this time: "That's right, the child has taken out everything, there is no reason to take it back. Zhenwei, this kid, really put a lot of thought into buying this calligraphy, and finally spent a lot of money."
It cost more than 1.5 million to get it!"
More than 1.5 million!
Ye Chenglin raised his eyebrows. Both Ye Mu and Ye Menghuang were a little surprised. They were not very knowledgeable about the value of calligraphy and painting. They didn't expect that just a few words would be so expensive.
Father Ye smiled and nodded: "More than 1.5 million, the price is actually not very expensive, it is worth every penny."
He looked at Qiu Zhenwei and said, "Zhenwei, how about your uncle giving you the money and selling me this calligraphy? My uncle really likes this calligraphy, and the meaning is also very good."
Qiu Zhenwei's smile became even brighter, and he thought to himself: It seems that he made the right move. This calligraphy really suited Ye Menghuang's father's thoughts. He immediately smiled and said that he didn't need any money, so just accept it.
However, a discordant voice came from the side.
"Uncle, this calligraphy is fake. You'd better not buy it, otherwise you will be cheated." Lin Chen said lightly.
"Fake?"
Everyone looked at Lin Chen and were stunned.
Father Ye took another careful look at the calligraphy on the table, shook his head and said: "How could it be fake? I have done some research on Dong Qichang's calligraphy. These words were indeed written by Dong Qichang, there is no way they are fake.
! Dong Qichang likes to use Korean paper when writing and painting. After hundreds of years, Korean paper will become slightly dark yellow with a hint of red. There will be no problem with this calligraphy."
Qiu Zhenwei looked at Lin Chen and sneered: "Don't pretend to understand if I say you don't understand. Do you know more about calligraphy than Uncle Ye? You actually said that my calligraphy was fake and that I wanted to cheat Uncle Ye. It's so boring.
It's a shame you're capable of sowing discord!"
"It's just that he came from the countryside, so his brain probably doesn't work very well!" His mother also looked disdainful.
Ye Chenglin glared at Lin Chen and said, "Don't make trouble!"
Ye Menghuang looked confused and didn't understand what was going on with Lin Chen. Her father was a member of the Provincial Calligraphy Association. How could he not tell whether the calligraphy was real or fake?
If even her father couldn't see it, then how could Lin Chen possibly see it!
"It seems that you all don't believe me." Lin Chen smiled helplessly. Seeing a glass of boiling water in front of Mother Ye, he picked it up directly.
"What do you want to do?" Qiu Zhenwei asked loudly.
Lin Chen ignored him and directly poured a large cup of boiling water on the calligraphy. Immediately, the calligraphy was completely wet, as if it had been soaked in water.
Immediately, everyone’s faces changed!
Father Ye’s face was ashen!
Qiu Zhenwei was secretly happy and secretly cursed an idiot for being so uncontrollable!
His face was full of anger, he pointed at Lin Chen and shouted: "Lin Chen, even if you are unhappy that I gave Uncle Ye this letter and stole your limelight, you should not do this anyway! You are like this,
