Found 100 Million In My Rented Apartment

Chapter 295 - 295 Dark Plum Blossoms and You Wen Flowers

295 Dark Plum Blossoms and You Wen Flowers

“Since you’ve all decided to compete, then let me explain the rules.”

At this moment, the old man who had been silent the entire time slowly walked over.

When he walked over, he was probably afraid that Ye Feng and the others would not recognize him, so he first introduced himself to Ye Feng and Kong Liancheng.

“My name is Wang Baiming. I’m the Lu family’s butler. I watched Xiaoya and Ling’er grow up. I’ll never be biased toward either side.”

!!

“Moreover, when I was young, I learned from some famous masters in the appraisal world for a period of time, so I can be considered to know a little about antique calligraphy and paintings.”

“I should be able to deal with this kind of situation.”

Lu Xiaoya nodded immediately. “Uncle Wang has been in our house for so many years. We trust your character. You’re the most suitable person to be the judge.”

Zhong Ling’er nodded in agreement. “I also believe in Uncle Wang’s character and judgment.”

Wang Baiming smiled and nodded.

“Our competition will be divided into three rounds. The first round will be calligraphy and painting, the second round will be porcelain, and the third round will be bronze. The selection time for each match is half an hour. After the selection is completed, the expenses and valuation will be summarized. The side with the lower expenses and higher valuation will win. The one who is late will automatically admit defeat.”

He paused for a moment before he continued, “The entire competition, best of three, can begin now.”

The four of them did not hesitate any longer and immediately entered the Antique Street.

At this time, the Antique Street was already full of people.

Today was the Annual Treasure Exhibition of the Antique Street.

Even many businesses and customers from other places came to participate.

Therefore, this place was even more lively than before.

The originally wide street was now filled with various antique stalls and customers choosing antiques.

When Ye Feng and the other three entered the Antique Street.

It immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Ye Feng and Kong Liancheng were both tall and handsome, and they also had a good temperament, not to mention Lu Xiaoya and Zhong Ling’er.

Any one of them could be considered a one-in-ten-thousand beauty.

Furthermore, the two of them looked extremely similar, like twins.

When the two of them stood together, their destructive power multiplied.

“Little Sister Xiaoya, good luck!”

Zhong Ling’er stuck out her tongue at Lu Xiaoya on purpose.

“Little Sister Ling’er, you have to work hard too.”

Lu Xiaoya was not a kind person either, and she immediately retaliated.

“Hmph!”

The two of them turned their heads away at the same time.

The first round was calligraphy and painting.

The four of them arrived at a calligraphy and painting stall at the same time.

When the stall owner saw the four of them, he immediately greeted them warmly.

It was obvious that young people were much easier to fool than those old guys. Stall owners like them always liked this kind of fat sheep.

Zhong Ling’er immediately took a fancy to a painting of plum blossoms on the stall. “Wow, this painting is so beautiful. I can tell it’s a fine work with one look.”

The stall owner immediately gave her a thumbs up. “This beautiful lady has good taste. This painting of the proud plum blossoms is definitely the best of the best.”

Zhong Ling’er got complimented and became more and more proud. “How much is this painting?”

The stall owner glanced at her twice, as if he was estimating her worth.

Finally, he raised five fingers. “500,000.”

Ye Feng almost burst out laughing.

This boss really dared to bid.

In his eyes, this painting was not even worth 50 yuan.

He actually dared to ask for 500,000?

Zhong Ling’er turned her head to look at Kong Liancheng. “Mr. Kong, I think this painting is good, and it’s only 500,000 yuan. It’s very cheap, right?”

Before Kong Liancheng could speak.

Lu Xiaoya couldn’t help but say sarcastically, “Of course this painting is good. It’s a painting of plum blossoms. Look at the inscription on it. The meaning is even more unique.”

Zhong Ling’er looked in the direction she was pointing and saw a few lines of small words written with a brush.

However, those words were written in cursive script and were all crooked. She didn’t recognize any of them.

However, she didn’t want to embarrass herself in front of Lu Xiaoya, so she immediately pretended to appreciate it. “Yes, this inscription has a deep meaning. I can see that the artist is a great person with deep thoughts.”

Lu Xiaoya deliberately made things difficult for her. “Then read it to us. What’s written on it?”

“I…”

Zhong Ling’er was speechless.

Seeing the teasing smile on Lu Xiaoya’s face, she was a little annoyed. “Why should I read it to you? If you know it, why don’t you read it out for everyone to hear?”

Lu Xiaoya immediately pointed at the words and read aloud, “Dark plum blossoms and you wen flowers, lying on branches hurt at the bottom of hatred. It was like water, easily translucent and green in spring. I knew you wouldn’t know. Now, you know?”

When Zhong Ling’er heard her read the words on it, she immediately panicked.

...

How could she recognize the words on it?

Is Lu Xiaoya really smarter than me?

It’s over, it’s over. My intelligence has been crushed.

Although she was panicking, she still pretended to be unconvinced. “Who said I don’t know? Of course I know that this is the poem.”

Lu Xiaoya looked at her provocatively. “Then read this poem again.”

Zhong Ling’er hurriedly recalled the poem that Lu Xiaoya had just read.

It was a good thing that she had a good memory.

Although the words used in this poem were very strange, she could still remember most of it.

She then announced confidently, “Dark plum blossoms and you wen flowers, lying on branches hurt at the bottom of hatred. From afar, it was like water, easily penetrated… Da chunlu!”

After she finished, she looked at Lu Xiaoya proudly.

However, she saw the other party covering her mouth and looking like she couldn’t help but laugh.

...

The people who were watching the show were also laughing hard.

A few of them even laughed so hard that they fell to the ground.

Zhong Ling’er was even more panicked.

What were they laughing about?

Did I read it wrong?

Lu Xiaoya held back her laughter. “Repeat the last two sentences a few more times.”

Zhong Ling’er recalled it again and felt that there was no problem, so she read it again, “I’ve heard from afar that lying down is like water, easily translucent and green in spring. It was like water, easily translucent and green in spring. If you ask me who I am, I’m a big stupid…”

After she repeated it a few times, she found that the meaning of the words began to change quietly.

She carefully recollected the poem in her mind.

I’m uncultured, and I have a low IQ. If you ask me who I am, I’m a big stupid donkey…

She suddenly realized.

She had fallen into Lu Xiaoya’s trap.

No wonder the people around them were all laughing.

This was too embarrassing, right?

She wished she could find a hole to hide in.

Lu Xiaoya couldn’t stop laughing. She clutched her stomach, looking like she was in pain but also wanted to laugh.

Although Ye Feng was trying his best to hold it in, he still revealed a smile on his face.

Kong Liancheng lowered his head, too ashamed to face anyone.

One should not be afraid of a god-like opponent, but of a pig-like teammate.

The competition hadn’t even started yet, and he had already lost all his face.

Zhong Ling’er flew into a rage out of humiliation. “Lu Xiaoya, I can’t stand the sight of you!”

“You tricked me!”
