The Mighty Little Shennong Chapter 352: Funny bragging
A pair of couplets are hung at the gates of the two villas of Zhang Bin's house.
Yes, hang it up, not paste it.
If you hang it up, you can take it down and save it later.
Such a beautiful couplet, no one can bear to damage it.
At this moment, a group of villagers gathered in front of Zhang Bin's villa, obsessively admiring Zhang Bin's couplet.
Mother Zhang was bragging. She proudly said: "Have you seen such beautiful calligraphy? I must have never seen it. I tell you, my son is a rare calligraphy genius. He has only practiced three Month, no, no, no, it’s one month, and calligraphy has reached its peak. If this pair of calligraphy is sold, guess how much is it worth?"
"One thousand."
"Two hundred."
"Five thousand."
"..."
Many villagers guessed in awe.
It's New Year's Eve, and they have only recently bought couplets, all at 20 yuan each.
So, they guessed that they had already estimated Zhang Bin's couplet very high.
"Ha...a group of soil buns, in fact, I am also a soil bun, just like you. I didn't know the value of this couplet at first. Later, I heard Ruolan say that this couplet is of great value and can be sold even if it's not good. Twenty thousand." Zhang Mu said, drooling.
She thinks that a couplet of 20,000 yuan is really a sky-high price.
This bragging blow made her feel a little guilty.
"This is only a few words, it's worth 20,000, one word is nearly 2,000."
"Then Xiaobin writes thousands of words a day, isn't it worth millions?"
"Xiaobin is so awesome, he is still a calligrapher."
"..."
Many villagers saw Zhang Bin’s magic more, so they did not suspect that Zhang’s mother was bragging, and they all started talking excitedly.
Liu Ruolan ran out staring, and said angrily: "Mom, when did I tell you that this couplet is worth 20,000 yuan?"
"Well, didn't you just say that? It seems to be talking to yourself."
Mother Zhang is a bit embarrassed and very upset in her heart. This wife is usually very sensible. Why did she come to tear down the stage today? Where does this put my old face?
"You must have heard it wrong. Mom, let me tell you that this couplet can be compared to Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. Wang Xizhi is a calligraphy sage. His original work has not been preserved, only the copy. So, this After Wang Xizhi, another calligraphy at the calligraphy level is extremely valuable. It is not 20,000 as you said, but more than 20 million. If it is auctioned, it may be even higher." Liu Ruolan said softly.
She doesn't want Mother Zhang to make a joke, so she must be reminded.
"20 million or more? Is this true?"
Mother Zhang's eyes widened, her chin almost fell, and her face was full of shock.
She feels that she has been bragging all her life, not as good as the words of her daughter-in-law Liu Ruolan. It turns out that her daughter-in-law is also a master of bragging.
Many villagers were completely dumbfounded this time. They were stunned, unable to move, only the sound of rapid breathing sounded one after another.
"It is true. Master Lin Lanting, you know, he is the master of painting. Any painting he creates is worth more than 200 million, and the highest is 400 million..."
Liu Ruolan began to popularize common sense in painting and calligraphy to Zhang's mother.
In the end, Mother Zhang believed, and the villagers also believed thoroughly.
One by one, I was so excited that I couldn't get more excited.
Mother Zhang also regrets it. Why didn't she be bold when she was bragging? Why didn't she say it was worth 20 million? Only say 20,000? There is a thousand words missing in the middle, which is too big a difference. Alas, I missed a good opportunity to brag.
Soon, news that Zhang Bin's couplet was worth 20 million yuan spread throughout Sanchahe Village.
Mother Cheng heard it naturally, she was dumbfounded for a long time, then sneaked out the door, looked around, no one noticed, and then she tore off most of the couplet she bought newly.
After a while, she appeared at Zhang Bin's house and entered Zhang Bin's room.
Zhang Bin is lying on Liu Ruolan's long legs, and Xiaofang is beating Zhang Bin's leg.
When Cheng Mu came, they naturally jumped up immediately.
Zhang Bin also politely invited Cheng Mu to sit down on the sofa.
"Mom, why are you here?"
Xiaofang asked in surprise.
Because it will be dark soon, and tonight is the New Year’s Eve, it should be very busy. How could Cheng Mu have time to come here.
"It's like this, I don't know which bear kid ripped off our couplet. It's too late to buy it now. So, so, I want Xiaobin to write a picture..."
Cheng's mother was a little nervous. After all, the couplet written by Zhang Bin is worth 20 million.
Is she here to ask for twenty million?
Will Zhang Bin agree?
Is it too much?
Xiaofang's face also changed, a little uneasy.
Is she still aware of her mother's tricks?
Will Zhang Bin be angry?
"Isn’t it just a couplet? I’ll write it right away and count as a gift to my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Zhang Bin smiled and finished speaking, took out the pen and paper, swiped a bit on the table, and quickly wrote a couplet.
Of course, it is unparalleled beauty.
Actually, he didn't like Cheng Mu at all, because she was too snobbish and despised him many times in the past.
But, she has a good daughter, Xiaofang. Now Xiaofang is his woman. She doesn't look at the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha, but she also has to give her face.
What's more, his father-in-law Cheng Youtian is a good person, how could he be reluctant to have a couplet?
For him, it means nothing more.
Cheng Mu smiled suddenly and almost fell to her knees.
A couplet worth 20 million.
She won't go to bed tonight, she must guard this couplet.
Xiaofang's face flew into a flowery smile, and her beautiful eyes were full of affection.
Liu Ruolan was also very happy, happy that Zhang Bin didn't care about the grievances with Cheng Mu in the past.
This is a man with a big heart.
Zhang Bin went there personally and hung the couplet at Xiaofang's house.
Both Cheng Youtian and Cheng Mu were flattered and thanked Zhang Bin for their kindness.
With such a couplet, their Cheng family can be regarded as a rich native.
If today is not New Year’s Eve~IndoMTL.com~ they will definitely hold Zhang Bin from leaving.
Perhaps knowing that Cheng Mu was very nervous about this couplet, Zhang Bin took a few steps, then turned around and smiled and said, "Mom, now Sanchahe Village is within the defensive area of my large array. It is absolutely safe for the couplet to hang outside. Yes, you shouldn’t be nervous at all."
"Hmm, I know. Then I can sleep tonight."
Mother Cheng was extremely happy, because Zhang Bin called her mother. This is something she has been looking forward to for a long time.
As soon as Zhang Bin left, she bounced around the room, almost crazy with joy.
"I know that Xiaobin is good now? In the old days, didn't you want to marry your daughter to Teng Qingshan?" Father Cheng said angrily.
"Old man, if you dare to mention this in the future, I will fight you desperately." Cheng Mu became angry and threatened.
"Don't mention it, don't mention it." Father Cheng said, "Hurry up and prepare the Chinese New Year's wine and food. Tomorrow Xiaobin will come to visit the New Year, don't you know?"
"Yeah, I'll go right away." Cheng Mu rushed into the kitchen excitedly.
