Chapter 1136: Decline the invitation

Looking at Chen Yi standing in front of him, Steward Shen showed a look of surprise on his face, and the subordinate sent by Wu Gongzi basically told what happened.

At this antique gathering, Wu Gongzi found a calligraphy full of Wang Xizhi's true intentions, and the owner of the calligraphy is still a young man, and it is very likely that he is the creator of calligraphy.

Originally, the first person to find Wu Gongzi's father was the father, and after his father saw this calligraphy, he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly came to Wu Gongzi's grandfather's room and showed him this calligraphy.

Similarly, Wu Gongzi's grandfather, after seeing this calligraphy, was also full of amazement, in this process, he also watched in the room, and clearly heard Wu Gongzi's grandfather's admiration for this calligraphy, his face was full of excitement.

He has been waiting for Wu Gongzi's grandfather for most of his life, and in the past ten years, he has not been particularly excited at all, but he didn't expect to see this calligraphy and break the record.

Because he often followed Wu Gongzi's grandfather, he also had a certain appreciation of calligraphy, and after seeing this calligraphy, he was also full of amazement.

After listening to the process narrated by the next person, he thought to himself, what kind of young man can write such amazing calligraphy, he thinks that he is at least about thirty years old.

But I didn't expect that now that I really saw the master of calligraphy, the possible creator, he was full of disbelief, can such a young person really be able to write such calligraphy.

For the name Chen Yi, he can say that he remembers it clearly, Wu Gongzi's grandfather. Father. and the elders of other families. No one was familiar with the name, but it appeared on a very high level of calligraphy.

"Chen Gongzi is good, sure enough, the words are like his person, the small Kai Huang Tingjing you wrote is extremely extraordinary, so that the old master likes it very much, and so are you, the dragon among people." took a few serious glances at Chen Yi. Steward Shen said with a smile, and after finishing speaking, he also paid close attention to Chen Yi's demeanor.

After hearing Steward Shen's words, Chen Yi smiled slightly, "Thank you Steward Shen for your praise, it's my honor to have someone like my calligraphy." ”

Steward Shen has read countless people, if Chen Yi's expression is a little dodgy, he can definitely find out, but now. From Chen Yi's face and gaze, all he found was indifference. Could it be that the calligraphy was really written by this young man, it was extremely amazing.

"Chen Gongzi, since that calligraphy has been bought by my family, then now is the time to pay the money, this is a fifty thousand taels of silver tickets equivalent to five thousand taels of gold, you can withdraw it at any time at the money bank." Then, Steward Shen solemnly handed over a stack of silver tickets in his hand to Chen Yi's hands.

Looking at the large stack of silver tickets handed over by Steward Shen, Chen Yi smiled, although there was a rich village in ancient times, it was not as convenient as the modern World Bank, such as these silver tickets, maybe some larger taverns would recognize it, but more places, it is impossible to pay directly with silver tickets.

For the people of this Wu Mansion, he has no opinion on exchanging his gold into silver taels, after all, with gold, he is not easy to spend, in this world where ordinary people live for a year and only need a few taels of silver, take a gold ingot out, it is estimated that others will not be able to find it.

"Then thank you Steward Shen." Chen Yi smiled, took over this large stack of silver tickets, and did not count them, with his identification skills, he directly identified the number of silver tickets in this stack.

And watching Chen Yi take over this stack of silver tickets, the people next to him swallowed and foamed involuntarily, this is 50,000 taels of silver, and the people of Wu Mansion handed it over directly to Chen Yi in this way, it seems that the level of that calligraphy is really unimaginable.

"Haha, now that the fifty thousand taels of silver have arrived in Brother Chen's hands, then the calligraphy transaction is completed, and I am the first place in this antique gathering." Wu Gongzi laughed and said, he has been waiting for this first place for a long time, and now it has finally become a reality.

Steward Shen smiled at this time, he had already heard the subordinate talk about the process of this antique gathering on the way, "Childe, congratulations on winning the first place in this party, the old slave thinks that you should be most grateful to Gongzi Chen." ”

Hearing the housekeeper's words, Wu Gongzi immediately reacted, and said to Chen Yi: "Brother Chen, I must thank you for winning the first place this time, without you, I can't get the first place, and our family can't get such a superb calligraphy." ”

Chen Yi smiled and waved his hand, "Wu Gongzi, no need to thank you, let's just take what we need, here, I also want to congratulate you on winning the first place." ”

Seeing this, Zhang Gongzi and Wei Gongzi on the side also expressed their congratulations to Wu Gongzi, but Liu Gongzi was still looking at this scene with a gloomy face.

This time, he completely failed, what failed was the vision of people, and what failed was the arrogance in his heart, if he hadn't mocked Chen Yi, then it should be him who was congratulated by everyone now.

"Chen Gongzi, in addition to asking me to hand over the 50,000 taels of silver tickets to you, the old master also specially explained that I invited you to the house as a guest, he has some calligraphy matters that he needs to discuss with you."

Steward Shen arched his hand towards Chen Yi, and then said with a smile, he knew very well in his heart that the reason why the old master asked Chen Yi to go to the mansion was to confirm whether this young man was the creator of calligraphy.

Hearing Steward Shen's words, everyone at the scene looked at Chen Yi with envy and jealousy, Wu Gongzi's grandfather was a big official in the court, and it was a great honor to be able to invite him, maybe Chen Yi would soar.

Liu Gongzi's face changed slightly, it seems that this calligraphy is very, very important in the eyes of Master Wu, so he wants to determine whether Chen Yi is the creator of calligraphy.

After the news of this incident spread, he could predict what the family elders would think of him, which was definitely the stupidest thing he had ever done.

"Steward Shen, thank you Master Wu for the invitation, I'm just sorry, I have some things to deal with recently, so let's go to the house another day." Chen Yi arched his hand towards Steward Shen, and said with a little apology in his words.

In his opinion, going to Wu Mansion as a guest, really did not go to Lu Zigang's workshop, it is important to continue to complete the jade carving, if it is not for the money, this antique party, he probably will not come to participate.

Chen Yi's words made the faces of everyone at the scene look dumbfounded, this is a great joy for anyone, they didn't expect it, they didn't expect Chen Yi to refuse.

For a child of a poor family, being able to go to the mansion of a high-ranking official is something that many people can't ask for, Chen Yi relies on calligraphy, so that the lord of Wu Mansion invites, if he can prove that he is the creator of calligraphy in the mansion, he will definitely get more attention.

However, such an opportunity, an opportunity to soar and leap to the top, was actually given up by Chen Yi, there are some things that need to be dealt with, and what is more important than this matter.

Everyone at the scene, whether it was the four sons of the family or Steward Shen, was stunned, and some didn't believe that Chen Yi would say such words.

"Brother Chen, my grandfather is a very good person, and he will never do anything to you." At this time, Wu Gongzi hurriedly spoke, as if he felt that Chen Yi was worried about his grandfather's temper.

"Chen Gongzi, you might as well think about it." At this time, Zhang Gongzi also persuaded on the side.

Liu Gongzi's eyes lit up, Chen Yi actually refused like this, could it be that this guy is not the creator of calligraphy, is he a little timid, he couldn't help but smile for a while: "Haha, since Chen Gongzi has something important to deal with, you don't need to persuade him." ”

Chen Yi glanced at him with a smile, "Thank you Liu Gongzi, in order to show my gratitude, in the future, I will not sell any of my calligraphy to the people of Liufu." ”

Hearing Chen Yi's words, Liu Gongzi's face changed suddenly, he didn't expect Chen Yi to target him, but to target his entire family, "Are you threatening this son." ”

"No, I'm really thanking Young Master Liu." Chen Yi said with a faint smile, this surnamed Liu has repeatedly provoked him, and he really can't do it in the mud.

And the faces of the people next to them suddenly showed a different color, they didn't expect that Chen Yi, a person with no background, would dare to directly threaten Liu Gongzi's entire family, which was simply self-defeating.

Steward Shen heard Chen Yi's words, his eyes also lit up, he saw Chen Yi's refusal before, and he also had the idea that this young man was not a calligraphy creator.

But now, these words mean that Chen Yi does not have a lot of calligraphy of this level, then he is the creator of this calligraphy, and in his opinion, the latter is more likely.

Their Wu Mansion and Liu Gongzi's family are also opponents in the officialdom, so the sons in their mansion will have a holiday with each other, and now, seeing that Chen Yi said that all calligraphy in the future will not be sold to Liu Mansion, his heart is also a little refreshed.

More importantly, he admired Chen Yi's courage very much, after these words were released, it meant that Chen Yi and Liufu had an irreconcilable contradiction.

"Steward Shen, I do have something to deal with, I'll visit another day, besides, please do me a favor." Chen Yi arched his hand towards Steward Shen and said with a smile.

"Chen Gongzi, don't be polite, you have something, so it's okay to be a guest another day, as for helping, it's not a problem, please say." Steward Shen said with a smile, he became more and more convinced that Chen Yi was the creator of calligraphy, and if he were someone else, he would never have the courage to dare to go against the entire family of Liu Gongzi.

Chen Yi nodded, "Thank you, Steward Shen, please help me spread the news, that is, after ten days, I will hold a calligraphy party, at this party, I will sell my two calligraphy, if anyone is interested in participating, please go to Xinglong Pawnshop to find Shopkeeper Xu." (To be continued......)
