Chapter 55 Is It Worth It?

"There are heaven and man outside the sky, and there are people outside the sky?"

Lan Zhuoyue never even dreamed that one day her sister would say such a thing, and she would accept it as a matter of course. In other respects, she was indeed humble, low-key and gentle as jade, but when it comes to calligraphy and painting, she has an unparalleled talent. Confidence, as well as the strength of character between the lines and the pen and ink rendering.

But now, my sister was actually convinced by a young man?

Lan Zhuoyue suddenly realized a problem, and hurriedly asked, "Sister, how much did you pay for these two paintings?"

Lan Tianyu smiled lightly and said, "One hundred thousand taels of blue gold."

"How much?" Lan Zhuozhuo's eyes widened, and his tone raised several beats.

Lan Tianyu was in a happy mood and repeated: "One hundred thousand taels of blue gold."

The small flame in Lan Zhuoyue's heart suddenly rose, and he said angrily, "Sister, are you crazy? One hundred thousand taels of blue gold is one million taels of blue silver, and you actually spend so much money to buy two broken paintings? No, you must I was bewitched by that boy, otherwise it would be impossible to do such an irrational behavior, I will go to him to settle the score."

With that said, he turned around and rushed into the fenced yard.

Lan Tianyu was stunned for a while, she didn't expect that the priceless treasure in her eyes was bewitched in her younger brother's eyes, and the mature and stable younger brother would go to find him angrily...

"Stop!" After Lan Tianyu came to her senses, her complexion changed immediately, and she chased into the courtyard.

Attic on the second floor.

Ye Tong quietly engraved jade stones. He just earned 200,000 taels of blue gold, so he was not excited about it. After he came to the county, the prices here refreshed his recognition, especially the flowers needed to buy cultivation resources. Selling, two hundred thousand blue gold is just a drop in the bucket, not worth mentioning.

Yaonu crouched in the corner and dozed off in the corner with his crutches in his arms. Money didn’t mean much to him. In his mind, if he had money, he would spend more of it; if he had no money, he would spend less of it. At his age, if he can live an extra day, it is considered as a day earned.

Suddenly, Yao Nu opened his eyes, and with a cold light flashing through his eyes, he was slightly surprised when he saw the person coming.

The moment Lan Zhuoyue stepped into the door, he had a panoramic view of the people and scenery in the room. When he saw Ye Tong, he was obviously taken aback for a moment, but then he scolded angrily: "Ye Tong, hello How dare you lie to my elder sister's money, are you courting death?"

Ye Tong raised her eyelids and asked, "Who is your elder sister?"

Lan Zhuoyue shouted angrily: "Are you still playing tricks? How dare you sell two broken paintings for a sky-high price of 200,000 taels of blue gold. Even if my Lan family doesn't lack this little money, I can't be cheated by you like this, right?"

Ye Tong asked, "Is Lan Tianyu your sister?"

Lan Zhuozhuo snorted coldly, "That's right."

Ye Tong shook her head and said: "The paintings I draw are priceless treasures in the eyes of some people, and rubbish in the eyes of others. Your sister bought paintings from me because she likes my paintings. This kind of transaction is worthless. I would like to make a wish, it is not someone who takes advantage of someone, let alone cheating, I want to tell you that you broke into my residence so aggressively, it seems to be doubting and angry at me, but it is actually Distrust of your sister."

Lan Zhuoyue said angrily: "Nonsense, why do I not trust my sister?"

Ye Tong said: "If you trust her, why come here to shout at me like a clown? She is willing to buy my paintings, that's a matter of her vision, two hundred thousand blue gold to buy two paintings, maybe it's good for you It’s very expensive, but have you ever thought about it, the paintings she can identify with naturally feel that two hundred thousand blue gold is worth it.”

Speaking of which.

Ye Tong put down the unfinished jade carving, stood up and walked to the window, looked at the picturesque scenery outside, and then said: "For example, when you see something you like, you will feel that it is of high value. But in the eyes of those who don't like it, this thing is no different from rubbish, so, do you think this thing is worth the money in your heart?"

"This..." Lan Zhuoyue was speechless, it seemed that what the other party said made sense.

Ye Tong turned around, looked straight into his eyes, and said word by word: "There are no idiots in this world, there are only those who are self-righteous, you sister, you should understand, is she stupid? Is she so gullible? ? Isn't it an insult and distrust to her that you broke in to ask the teacher for her crimes?"

Lan Zhuoyue's complexion became a little pale, and every word Ye Tong said was like a knife cutting his heart, making him feel strong regret.

Makes sense! Very reasonable!

Even if he was on the opposite side of Ye Tong, even if he was judged as a "self-righteous" person by Ye Tong, he still felt that what Ye Tong said was reasonable.

I didn't even see those two paintings, so I decisively judged that they were not worth 200,000 taels of blue gold. It was because I didn't like calligraphy and painting very much, but what about sister? She has been obsessed with calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and she would be ecstatic every time she encountered a good painting. Maybe those two paintings are worth two hundred thousand taels of blue gold in her eyes?

Then, if I rushed to other people's residence angrily to ask the teacher, isn't it just an insult and distrust to sister?

at the door.

Lan Tianyu's eyes sparkled with brilliance, and her heart was full of emotions. She never thought that her younger brother who was still arrogant just now, after recklessly questioning Master Ye Tongxing, was left speechless by his few words.

She understood those principles and deeply agreed with them, but Lan Tianyu couldn't understand that such words containing profound wisdom came from the mouth of a young man.

In a trance, Lan Tianyu faintly felt that there was not a young man in front of him, but a mature and wise man.

Lan Tianyu sighed deeply in her heart, stepped into the room, bowed slightly behind Ye Tong, and said softly: "Master Ye, my younger brother is reckless, please don't blame me, I am the elder sister who is not strict in discipline, after I go back I shall be punished."

Ye Tong lost interest, waved his hand and said, "Take it back! There are too few people in this world who can defeat themselves. I can understand his recklessness."

Lan Zhuoyue showed a dumbfounded expression, and after Ye Tong finished speaking, he looked at Lan Tianyu blankly and asked, "Sister, you...what did you call him just now?"

Lan Tianyu didn't seem to hear his younger brother's question, his bright eyes were full of confusion, and he asked, "Master Ye, what do you mean by defeating yourself?"

Ye Tong asked back: "Have you ever thought about the meaning of life?"

"This..." Lan Tianyu couldn't keep up with Ye Tong's train of thought, so she shook her head blankly.

Ye Tong sighed: "People live in the world, only a few dozen years of spring and autumn, from croaking to death, whether it is success or failure, whether it is a mediocre life or a wonderful life, it is all about the fluctuation of the spirit, experience and experience. Life is full of flavors, ups and downs, this is living. A person, who is the biggest enemy? I can tell you clearly, it is yourself, because every moment of living in this world, you are fighting against yourself. "

The chicken soup for the soul that is prevalent on the earth, Ye Tong can be said to be casual. For people in this world, even poisonous chicken soup is enough for them to drink a pot. There are a few broken crutches for sale here.

Hearing Ye Tong's words, Lan Tianyu's eyes became brighter.

Ye Tong turned around again, looked at the outside world again, and murmured: "People's hearts are unpredictable, and people's hearts are difficult to distinguish. If your heart is toward the light, you are in heaven; if your heart is toward darkness, you are in purgatory."

Suddenly, Ye Tong turned around, fixed his gaze on Lan Zhuoyue who was stunned, and said in a deep voice: "For your sister's sake, or for the sake of the two hundred thousand taels of blue gold, I will give you a piece of advice: emotions , is one's own worst enemy, to control him, to defeat him, to think carefully about things, to think twice before acting, this is the sign of a mature man."

"Yes, you, the person you are talking about!" Lan Zhuoyue bowed and saluted, and he did the teacher's salute.

The cool wind brushed against his cheeks.

Lan Zhuoyue, who was walking like a puppet on the path in the peach forest, looked completely dazed, and Ye Tong's last words kept echoing in his mind.

Lan Tianyu walked forward quietly with a strange look in her eyes.

"Here we are!" The two walked through the peach blossom grove, walked across the small winding bridge, and stood behind the attic. Lan Tianyu stopped and turned around slowly.

Lan Zhuozhuo raised his head, his eyes were still a bit confused, and he murmured, "Sister, is he really just a young man?"

Lan Tianyu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with complicated emotions, and shook her head again. She didn't know how to describe Ye Tong, young and mature? Not really!

Lan Zhuoyue shook his head. After concentrating his eyes, he took a deep breath and said, "Sister, I want to see if his paintings can be compared with his poems?"

"Poetry?" Lan Tianyu frowned and asked, "What does this mean?"

Lan Zhuozhuo said: "He appeared in Piaoxianglou last night and wrote two poems, each of which can be called a peerless poem, absolutely amazing."

Piaoxiang Building? Lan Tianyu frowned imperceptibly.

A moment later, when Lan Zhuoyue was in the study room on the second floor of the attic, he saw the two paintings laid out on the table, and he felt amazed. It is a top-notch work, even if it is a master court painter, I am afraid that it can only do this step.

"Can compose poems and draw pictures at the same time, and what's more?" After a long time, Lan Zhuoyue murmured, "Is this still a human being?"

He was referring to Ye Tong.

Lan Tianyu heard it, but she didn't reply. She already knew from her younger brother Lan Zhuoyue that Ye Tong wrote the two poems in Piaoxianglou. And the level of painting is at the level of a master, as well as his exquisite carving skills, and his refining of elixir...

The curiosity in Lan Tianyu's heart was thoroughly aroused: How much ability does he have?

Taolin loft.

Zui Qingshan stood at the window, with a thoughtful look on his face, the reason why he stayed in this Taoyuan Inn was to observe a person conveniently, she was Lan Tianyu.

It's just that Zui Qingshan never expected that Lan Tianyu would come to the next door and spend two hundred thousand taels of blue gold to buy two paintings from Ye Tong.

What Zui Changsheng didn't even expect was that Lan Zhuozhuo, the dignified head of the Lan family, who is also Lan Tianyu's younger brother, also went to the next building. He rushed away, but left in a daze.

Ye Tong! Make him more interested!

"Huh?" Suddenly, Zui Qingshan's complexion suddenly became a little dull, because in his line of sight, there was another figure staying outside the gate of the fenced courtyard next door.
