Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 225: The Heavy Blow
The end of the river was not connected to the endless ocean, but ended up in a clear and sparkling lake with a pavilion that provided an elegant ancient charm. A barefoot girl splashed her feet in the lake water, soaking the lotus close by.
Suddenly, taking a closer look, Zhu Xiang found himself in the picture, in the celestial world. He no longer looked at the picture, as if he was looking at this world with his naked eyes.
He is a part of this place! He was called to this place!
Such a sensation he was experiencing at this moment.
The spectators in the hall of the first floor of Lotus Blossom House looked at Zhu Xiang with disdain. They had seen many shameless people, but never once had they seen someone as shameless as him.
Of the two paintings, which is better and which is the least?
Without the need for a brain, even with their toes, they could see it clearly. Zhu Xiang's painting was good, but compared to Tang Xiu's painting, the difference was the contrast between day and night, there was no need to compare them.
“Hei .. That surname Zhu must have learned that there will always be someone better, huh? If I were you, I would immediately take off my pants to cover my head, run away from this place. So I can stop embarrassing myself again. ”Scoffs and jeers emerged from the crowd, immediately sparking laughter.
The others, also with contemplative gazes, belittled, “The family name Zhu, you have lost your way. So, You must honor your promise and deliver the painting you promised! The result has been announced, You wouldn't be a bastard who would renege on debt, would you? ”
“Right! For better or worse, you are the second young master of the Zhu Family in Tianjin City. Don't be a heartache loser who beats gracefully. You don't want to discredit your family, do you? ”
Among the spectators, Professor Hu's mouth twitched. Only at this moment did he recover from his shock. The expression in her eyes when she saw Tang Xiu was completely different from before. He even started reprimanding himself for underestimating him. He was also a painter, but he judged the book by its cover by looking at Tang Xiu based only on his age.
“Today was the first time in my life I made such a mistake!” Professor Hu could not help but smile and let out a long sigh.
Then, he began to feel sympathy for Le Baiyi. Because he clearly remembered what Le Baiyi had said earlier.
The Wintertide Fluorites and Star Fragment Stones!
However, he knew very well that the amount of ore Le Baiyi had, more than him, was twice the price of his sale.
Le Baiyi was surprised. It was as if a pair of invisible hands were gripping his neck. He blushed and could not even speak for a long time.
He was like a frog looking at the sky from the bottom of a well! So bitter and astringent, he wanted to vomit.
Curiosity was written all over Mu Wanying's face. Before this, Professor Hu said that the identity of this young man was mysterious, and now he believed it. Even before, he thought he could read Tang Xiu, a joke.
But, he's excited. Because Tang Xiu clearly said that he rarely painted, which meant that this painting would definitely be very valuable in the future.
Zhu Xiang finally came to his senses under everyone's scorn. He looked around with a blank expression as his face began to change, from red to white, white to green, green to purple, finally turning pale white as if wax paper.
He has lost! It was as if he was reluctant, but that fact was shown in front of him, and he had no choice but to admit it.
Suddenly, Zhu Xiang looked at Tang Xiu with red eyes. In a firm tone, he shouted, “Who are you really?”
Tang Xiu replied nonchalantly, “I'm just an ordinary person. A student who has just attended CET. You don't have to care about me. I'm not famous in the painting industry nor is it what I wanted. Fame will only bring trouble; no benefit is gained from it. ”
Zhu Xiang choked on hearing his words and was unable to say anything for a long time. He actually lost at the hands of a student who had just completed CET!
Only now did he realize that Tang Xiu's words made sense. The higher you stand, the harder it will be to fall. He was too arrogant, too domineering; he thought he was unequal in the world. But at this moment, he had humiliated himself to such an extent that he ended up miserable!
Bai Yu looked at him and sneered, “If my memory doesn't disappoint me, before this you said that you would give Mr. Tang an authentic masterpiece from the famous painter, the sailboat” painting and the “Li Sixun Pavilion. Since you're a local, I don't think it'll take long to take it from your house and bring it here, huh? ”
Zhu Xiang looked at him with flaming eyes. Then he looked at Tang Xiu with hatred, saying, “Available to bet means I dare to lose. I'll bring the painting now! ”
After saying that, under many contemptible eyes, he dashed out of the Lotus Blossom House with a embarrassed face.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in the crowd shouted loudly, “Say, today that surname Zhu has lost so miserably, do you think he still has the face to return to? I dare say he would just send someone to send the painting over. ”
“Ha ha ha..”
A burst of laughter followed right from the crowd.
Bai Yu's atmosphere was very good now. Not only did he vent the foul mood in his heart, Zhu Xiang was even kicked out; moreover he even saw an incomparable unique painting. Once this painting became known in the outside world in the future, its reputation in the Lotus Blossom House would also increase.
He could already see the incredible scenery that would occur in this Lotus Blossom House in the future.
“Bapak. Tang, thank you for giving me the chance to see a good painting. Your bill is on me today. Furthermore, from now on, I guarantee that all your expenses will also be free. “Bai Yu said solemnly.
Tang Xiu was silent for a moment. He then nodded slowly, “Then, I will write a few words for you! Please appreciate it well! ”
Bai Yu was shocked. In ecstasy, he repeatedly said thank you, “Great, thank you. Thank you, Mr. Tang. ”
Tang Xiu waved his hand and, under the watchful eye of the spectators, he picked up a brush and wrote a scroll, writing six words in a bold and cursive style.
Elegance Painting Lotus Blossom House.
The characters are written in a strong and powerful style, giving the impression and charm of the elegance of an emperor and the joy of life.
The elegance itself carried the charm of an imperial aura. Firm and hard, along with the feel of knight and gentleness.
“Good character!”
An old man who was not only an excellent painter but also a calligrapher, widened his eyes and shouted loudly.
When Bai Yu saw the calligraphy, she immediately liked it. After immersing himself in painting and calligraphy for many years, he was naturally able to discern the quality of the work. Even though he could not be said to be an expert, he could see that these six characters were truly extraordinarily written.
“One mi. Five million! I'll buy this calligraphy for five million! ”
The old man who spoke earlier blinked at Bai Yu, full of hope.
Bai Yu's heart flinched and hurriedly shook her head, saying, “Not sell. Let alone five million, even if it was 50 million, I wouldn't sell it! ”
Disappointment was written on the old man's face. He turned around and looked at Tang Xiu. With an expression of hope, he said, “My sister, may I ask... Can you also write some characters to me? I'll buy it from you. ”
“Are you sure?” Feeling strange, Tang Xiu asked.
The old man nodded seriously, “I'm sure.”
Tang Xiu looked around and loudly said, “Who else would want me to write some characters? Five million each. And I'll just write four parts. ”
“I'll buy one!” Mu Wanying took a step and said without hesitation.
Surprised, Tang Xiu glanced at her. He then nodded and said, “There are others?”
Professor Hu squinted his eyes and smiled, “Seeing such a good thing today, I will also buy it.”
At this time, a middle-aged woman stood up and shouted, “I will also buy it!”
Tang Xiu immediately said, “Alright! All four images have been sold out. After this, no matter who they are, I won't write anymore. ”
Therefore, he instantly wrote six characters on each reel. Soon, he finished writing on four scrolls. Tang Xiu then looked at the four people and directly told them his bank account.
The money came by itself.
Tang Xiu nodded in satisfaction and suddenly had an impulse. What if he writes and paints hundreds of calligraphy and paintings in his spare time and sells them? If everything sold out, he would become a rich man in an instant.
But it was just a passing idea. Because he also understood the profound truth that when one thing is rare, it will become very precious. If he drew hundreds of calligraphers, perhaps his work would become too general.
Bai Yu looked at him as she said with a smile, “Mr. Tang, do you want to go back to your box? I've sent someone to clean the dishes and send tea and dessert there. Please wait there until Zhu Xiang sends you the painting “Screen Collar and Pavilion”. ”
Tang Xiu turned to look at Professor Hu, while the latter said with a smile, “Come back and chat.”
Le Baiyi was a bit depressed at the moment. After seeing Professor Hu nodding at her, she originally wanted to tell Tang Xiu that she would give him Wintertide Fluorites and Star Fragment Stones. However, since they had to return to their box, he decided to say it later.
Right at this moment, two women came walking through the front door of Lotus Blossom House. Wearing the latest style fashion with famous brand handbags, they still give a graceful charm despite being in their 30s. Suddenly, one of the female smiles passed, replaced by a surprised expression.
“Tang Xiu?”
It was someone Huang Jie could not forget. After hesitating for a moment, he called out loudly.
After hearing that someone suddenly called out to him, Tang Xiu, who was about to walk upstairs with the others, felt astonished. He turned around and looked at Huang Ji. His mouth could not withstand the twitching several times. If not considering decency, he really wanted to leave this place immediately.
How surprised he was, Huang Jie was also quite surprised. He picked up his friend and walked quickly towards Tang Xiu, saying excitedly, “Tang Xiu, is that really you? Huge! I originally intended to go to Star City to look for you! ”
Smiling, Tang Xiu said, “Please never say that you saw me, right? What I fear the most is being misunderstood by people because of it. ”
Exposing a sad expression, Huang Jie smiled, “You are the second person that made this Huang Jie keep thinking about him other than my husband. By the way, I personally don't think this is a coincidence. The thing is, I think you really don't know what you want! ”
