Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Competition

Young people have high spirits, and they are more than they say.

A total of 10 guests visited today, including Huo Zhenying, Dong Tianyue, Gui Yumeng, Wu Yubin, Liu Shaojie, Qilinbi, Qilin Tianya, Lou Weier, Hua Fangfang, and Bian Kumquat, which can be regarded as perfect.

Except for Gui Yumeng, the other three girls are all in Jing'er's dormitory, and their family conditions are not bad. Although the gifts they gave were not too expensive, they were all lovely gifts, such as Lou Weier's gift of a glowing doll, a German-made "Little Bency Bear", which was engraved with the word "Jing'er", which was obviously customized in advance; Hua Fangfang's family opened a flower shop and gave a small bottle of crystal lilies carved inside; Bian Jinju's family sells cosmetics and gave Jing'er a small bottle of "Chanel No. 5" perfume. Jing'er walked to the sofa where the gifts were stacked, and opened the gift boxes of the three girls one by one.

These three small gifts of theirs, Lou Weier's most attentive and pleasing Jing'er's favorite; Bian kumquat is the most real, but unfortunately Jing'er was born with a body fragrance and doesn't use perfume much; Hua Fangfang is the most expensive, and the choice is a higher quality natural white crystal, and the bottle is estimated to be tens of thousands.

After reading the gifts of the three dormitory girls, Jing'er opened Gui Yumeng's gift box, which was a heart-shaped yellow rosewood brocade box. Don't look at him small, that box is worth 18,000.

When I opened the lid of the box, a refreshing aroma came, Jing'er sniffed greedily, squinted slightly and said happily: "What a mellow Canaan incense!" Jing'er opened her eyes and recognized the origin of this agarwood pendant at a glance, and a warm current surged in her heart, which was about the warmth of friendship between women.

Lou, Hua, and Bian also came over to sniff, among which Hua Fangfang was more knowledgeable and exclaimed: "So mellow, is it the top-grade Qi Nan agarwood?" ”

Jing'er nodded proudly at her classmates, and the light and joy in her eyes surpassed the previous three gifts too much.

"Well, thank you Sister Yumeng!" Jing'er hugged Gui Yumeng's face and kissed it.

Huo Zhenying also smiled when she saw it: "Yumeng girl, this pendant is worth a lot of money!" ”

"It's nothing, who told Jing'er to keep talking!" Gui Yumeng said with a smile.

This peace charm agarwood pendant was originally hung in front of the car by Gui Yumeng, Jing'er liked it very much after seeing it, and every time she met, she had to boast about the pendant, and Gui Yumeng planned to give her love.

"Well, Sister Yumeng loves me the most! Next time you like something about me, just ask. How about my green emerald brooch? Jing'er smiled affectionately.

Gui Yumeng's heart jumped suddenly, "Next time you like something about me, just open your mouth?" ", what else can I fancy, or I say that I have a crush on Dong Tianyue, are you willing to give it to me?

Jing'er found that Gui Yumeng was suddenly in a daze, looking at Dong Tianyue with a tender gaze, she reacted, and hurriedly smiled: "Boyfriend, it's not good!" ”

"Hmm." Gui Yumeng sneered.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what kind of dumb riddle these two girls were playing.

Just when everyone was about to put away the agarwood pendant, Wu Yubin felt that Gui Yumeng must have come from a lot of things, and suddenly smiled: "Oh, I didn't expect Miss Gui to be so generous, this piece of agarwood is more than enough to buy a standard Honda Accord." I really envy Dong Tianyue, he is really lucky, why did he catch up with a white rich beauty like you? ”

This Wu Yubin has always liked to ridicule people who are poorer than him, especially Dong Tianyue, who he looks at unpleasantly, and if he doesn't squeeze him, Wu Yubin will not be happy in his heart.

Seeing Wu Yubin targeting Dong Tianyue again, Gui Yumeng was a little disgusted, and said, "Oh, it seems that Young Master Wu is very interested in agarwood?" ”

What research can Wu Yubin have? He had only heard of the saying "a piece of agarwood and a piece of gold", plus the inference of observing words and colors. Gui Yumeng's rhetorical question naturally couldn't be answered fluently, but he still understood a little bit of superficial knowledge, and he was only slightly stunned and pretended to say it.

"Well, research doesn't dare to be. In the agarwood, Canaan incense, that is, Qi Nan incense is the most precious, and the high-grade Qi Nan incense, one gram of one thousand yuan is common. As for this agarwood pendant, I see that your boyfriend Dong Tianyue must know more than me, so I asked him to tell everyone about it? ”

Wu Yubin hurriedly kicked the "ball" to Dong Tianyue, wanting him to make a fool of himself. Dong Tianyue is known as a strange person in the first class of Chinese painting, it is because of his surname and calligraphy and painting skills, as for whether he understands agarwood, where does Wu Yubin know? Is such a precious thing as agarwood something that Dong Tianyue can get involved in? Therefore, Wu Yubin thought that Dong Tianyue must not know as much about agarwood as he did.

In order to exert pressure, Wu Yubin glanced at Lou Weier meaningfully, the woman's ability to observe words and emotions is not small, plus she is in the same group as Wu Yubin in her heart, and hurriedly echoed on the side: "The great talent of our Chinese painting class, you can't embarrass our class at a critical time, you can give everyone a science popularization!" ”

Gui Yumeng and Jing'er both looked at Dong Tianyue worriedly, afraid that he would not be able to get off the stage without Dong. The antiques are broad and profound, who dares to say that they are proficient in everything? Dong Tianyue understands calligraphy and painting, but it doesn't mean that he also understands agarwood.

Huo Zhenying and Qilinbi both leaned on the sofa and smiled, as if they were looking forward to Dong Tianyue's performance.

Dong Tianyue was not flustered at all, knowing that Wu Yubin wanted to see him make a fool of himself, and said lightly: "Since Wu Shao and Chairman Lou are so kindly invited, I will say a few words casually." "Lou Weier is the vice president of the student union, so Dong Tianyue calls her Chairman Lou. Call her that and see if she can handle it.

"Then please put it!" Wu Yubin sat down on the sofa and said lightly. Seeing that Dong Tianyue was not flustered at all, he said in his heart: Could it be that this kid also understands agarwood? There was some drumming in my heart.

The others also sat down on the sofas around them and listened attentively.

Dong Tianyue took the wooden box from Jing'er's hand, and was about to take it over to taste, Wu Yubin hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Oh, be careful, if it is broken, you can't afford to pay for it!" ”

There was a clear contempt for people in his words, and it felt like a landlord was reprimanding the poor. Dong Tianyue knew Wu Yubin's surname, but it didn't matter. Where can Jing'er stand it?

Although Jing'er pretended to have a cold war with Dong Tianyue, she couldn't bear it anymore, and said lightly: "He broke down, you don't need to accompany him!" ”。 One sentence made Wu Yubin as silent as if he had eaten a fly.

As soon as the words were spoken, Jing'er realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and glanced at Gui Yumeng slightly unnaturally. Finding that Gui Yumeng's face was wrong, how smart Jing'er was, she hurriedly smiled: "Because Dong Tianyue is Sister Yumeng's boyfriend, this gift was given by Sister Yumeng." Therefore, even if Dong Tianyue shattered it, it would be impossible for him to pay for it. ”

The two parents also looked at each other in shock. It stands to reason that Jing'er, as the eldest lady of the Huo family, has needless to say about her mental quality and cultivation, but today she seems to have lost everyone's elegance and reserve?

Seeing that Gui Yumeng and Jing'er both defended themselves, Dong Tianyue was still very happy, and said with a smile: "It's okay, even if this kind of hardwood falls down, it is not so easy to break." ”

"Hmph, hardwood is more fragile, right? Okay, let's not talk about that for now, you go on. Wu Yubin said lightly.

Dong Tianyue was not angry, holding a yellow rosewood brocade box in his left hand, and a pendant threaded with thread in his right hand, looking at the people around him: "Briefly talk about this yellow rosewood brocade box." This is Hainan Huanghuali, commonly known as Haihuang, from the texture of about fifty or sixty years, the carving is a new worker, exquisite craftsmanship, the rich flower carved on the lifelike, should be the Dongyang wood carving 'generalist' Huang Zijin master work, if it is really the work of Master Huang, the market is estimated to be about 300,000-500,000 yuan! ”

Everyone was shocked, the three female classmates, Wu Yubin, Young Master Qilin and others were all staring at Dong Tianyue with suspicion and contempt. Cut, you can see it for fifty or sixty years, and you can see which carver's work it is, who do you think you are? Do you have an eye in the sky? Cut, you blow it!

However, he is also a child of a rich family, and Qilin Tianya is a smiling tiger, very scheming, polite in his words, and never easily offends people with foul language. Dong Tianyue felt that he was much more terrifying than Wu Yubin!

Speaking of this, Dong Tianyue also felt everyone's suspicious looks, and opened the bottom of the brocade box slightly nervously and took a look: Oh, there is a paragraph, it is really the work of Master Huang Zijin, the "Prime Minister of Wood Carving".

Everyone's eyes are bright, and naturally they see it.

Wu Yubin said in his heart: "Damn, is it really a master's work?" Although he was surprised, he refused to admit defeat and smiled slightly: "Hehe, Master Huang's work, I said I could buy a Honda Accord, and I said it was cheaper?" ”

Dong Tianyue didn't bother to take care of him, just smiled. However, no matter how Wu Yubin looked at it, he felt that Dong Tianyue was laughing at him.

After listening to Dong Tianyue's tasting, everyone looked at Gui Yumeng, hoping that she would confirm whether Dong Tianyue was talking nonsense. Before Gui Yumeng could confirm it, the unicorn wall on the sofa stood up and got started, stared at the one, and said with a rare statement: "Xiao Dong is right, I also noticed this brocade box just now, this is also right, it is really the work of Old Man Huang." I really didn't expect that your Gui family and the Huang family still have a relationship? ”

Gui Yumeng was also impressed by Dong Tianyue's ability to appreciate, and guessed that it was the work of Master Huang Zijin without looking at the model, which once again proved that Dong Tianyue's appraisal of Lang Shining's painting last time was not blind.

"I've found a treasure, I've found a treasure! The chairman is right, Dong Tianyue's appreciation skills have surpassed me! Gui Yumeng thought beautifully in his heart, a little excited, and immediately nodded to Qilinbi.

"Grandpa Huang and grandfather are close friends." Gui Yumeng said with a smile.

Qilinbi seemed to have expected it, and said, "Hehe, no wonder. Since there is such a relationship, then there is no doubt that this thing is genuine. Qilinbi has spoken, which shows that Dong Tianyue's tasting is right. Don't look at Wu Yubin, who is very majestic in front of Dong Tianyue, but he behaves like a docile dog in front of Qilin Wall.

"Yes, that's what Uncle Kirin said. So are we starting to get down to business? Wu Yubin hurriedly diverted the topic, this time the humiliation not only did not stink Dong Tianyue, but showed Dong Tianyue's erudition, Wu Yubin was very unhappy! However, he didn't believe that Dong Tianyue's gift could be better than that of him and several other young masters!

The rest of the competition is a matter for a few men. Naturally, the gifts of the two elders will not be attended. Then the remaining men are all single, they are Dong Tianyue, Qilin Tianya, Wu Yubin, and Liu Kunshan. The gifts of these four people are the focus of today's competition.

For the sake of fairness, Gui Yumeng proposed to draw lots to determine the order of the competition. The order of the draw was Liu Kunshan, Qilin Tianya, Dong Tianyue, and Wu Yubin. For such a draw order, Dong Tianyue doesn't care. Other people don't have any opinions, but Wu Yubin thinks too much, and feels that he is in the last place, and God is also letting him do the finale!

"Alright, the order is set. Let's take a look at Young Master Liu's gift first. Wu Yubin said with a smile.
