132 Aren’t the Materials Here? (1)

However, Ye Xuan shook his head and looked at the fan drawing. “The Autumn Wind Fan Painting is mine now, right?”

Everyone nodded subconsciously.

Since he had already paid, the painting was naturally his!

After Ye Xuan received the affirmation, he nodded and continued, “In that case, I’ll have to borrow your treasure land to broaden the horizons of my friends.”

He was talking about Liu Yanran and the others. They were still waiting in front.

Before Ye Xuan could finish speaking, Lin Zhixi had already walked to the front hall to pick them up.

Liu Yanran and the others quickly walked in. They looked at the Autumn Wind Fan Painting hanging there and sighed.

When they heard that Ye Xuan had already spent 150 million to buy it, they were all shocked.

Liu Yun simply widened his eyes and looked at the painting in disbelief. He shouted, “No way, Brother Ye! When did Tang Bohu’s painting become so valuable? Did you get cheated?”

A painting that was less than 80 centimeters long, which was less than 2.5 feet in size, actually cost 150 million?

The price per foot exceeded 50 million yuan. It was simply an astronomical price!

However, Ye Xuan shook his head and said seriously, “You don’t understand. It makes sense why the Autumn Wind Fan Painting is worth so much money.”

When everyone heard Ye Xuan’s words, they sat up straight and wanted to hear Ye Xuan’s reasoning.

“Look at the style of Tang Bohu’s calligraphy. It’s the style of his writing when he was in the middle stage of his career, which was when he lived in Peach Blossom Ridge. At that time, he had many good works. It could be said to be the peak of his life as a painter! Do you think a good work at its peak is worth accepting at a high price?”

Lin Dongpeng’s eyes lit up and he said, “Little Friend Ye, do you study calligraphy too?”

Ye Xuan smiled faintly and explained, “I don’t dare to say that I studied it. I can only say that I know a little! When Tang Bohu was in the middle stage of his career, he fused his calligraphy with Li Beihai’s technique. Thus, his handwriting is slanted and novel. It’s really too unique.”

When everyone heard Ye Xuan say this and looked at Tang Bohu’s writing in the upper left corner, they immediately recognized the characteristics he mentioned.

Even Zheng Jianghao, who knew nothing, had a look of enlightenment on his face. He said, “As expected of the Young Master. It’s so easy to understand that even I can tell.”

Ye Xuan stood up and carefully put away the painting, preparing to leave with the others.

When Lin Dongpeng saw this, he immediately called his granddaughter, Lin Zhixi, to send Ye Xuan off.

As he walked, he said regretfully, “To be able to get to know Little Friend Ye today is the greatest gain! Unfortunately, the time is too short. When you have time, you must come and visit more often!”

Ye Xuan simply nodded with a calm expression.

Zhao Yuan was already in a daze from the continuous shock, but he respected Ye Xuan even more. “Little friend, are you going back?”

Ye Xuan thought about it and shook his head. “It’s still early. I still want to go to the stone gambling area.”

Zhao Yuan was clearly stunned. “There are university students who ask about stone gambling. Moreover, as the saying goes, nine out of ten gamblers lose. I’ve really never come into contact with this aspect.”

Although Zhao Yuan said that, he was thinking in his heart. Could it be that Ye Xuan was such a genius and even knew how to gamble with stones?

Ye Xuan smiled, indicating that he was just trying his luck. “I’ve always heard that the stone gambling arena is very crazy and I want to go and see it.”

Zhao Yuan thought about it and was still worried that Ye Xuan would be deceived, so he said, “Then I’ll accompany you for a walk! Although I don’t know much about stone gambling, I’m quite good at judging people.”

He couldn’t see through the stone gambling pit, but if anyone wanted to lie to Ye Xuan, they had to get past him.

With that, Zhao Yuan led Ye Xuan and the others towards the stone gambling area.

Just as they reached the entrance of the stone gambling area, they saw a few cutting machines filled with people standing in front of them. People kept shouting from inside, “Green, green, I have to see a green stone!”

Seeing this, Zhao Yuan hurriedly explained to them, “Some people are stone gambling and opening stones in front of the cutting machine! If they cut the stone and see a green interior, it means that there’s jade in the stone. The value of a stone that costs a few thousand yuan instantly increases by dozens or hundreds of times. This is also the saying in the stone gambling world. One slash can make one poor, one slash can make one rich, and one slash can strip you of everything!”

It was said that one slash could make one poor, but one slash could also make one rich.

Everyone thought so. This sentence was like thunder to their ears.

This infamous saying spread far and wide.

At the mention of stone gambling, one had to mention many people who lost everything and destroyed their families in order to pursue wealth.

They stood at the entrance of the street and looked inside.

Behind the crowd was the stone gambling area. It was actually a street, but it was wider and looked a little irregular.

The renovation styles of the shops here were strange. Some were magnificent, with carved beams and painted walls, while others simply had painted walls and couldn’t be bothered to renovate the floor.

However, outside each shop, there were some large iron tables with all kinds of stones placed on them.

They were of different sizes and shapes.

Liu Yanran had never been to such a place before. She looked at the special price signboards in front of some shops and chuckled. “Does stone gambling also yield big rewards?”

Zhao Yuan followed Liu Yanran’s gaze and saw a stone gambling stall with the words: “The special price of this table of stones is 10,000 yuan a piece.”

They really set a special price.

The two of them chuckled.

Ye Xuan saw that they were smiling happily and stuck his head out to take a look.

Instead of looking at the discount sign, he was attracted by a stone from another shop.
