The Mighty Little Shennong

A pair of couplets are hung at the gates of the two villas of Zhang Bin's house.

Yes, hang it, not stick it.

If you hang it, you can take it off and save it later.

Such a beautiful couplet, no one would be willing to damage it.

At this moment, a group of villagers gathered in front of Zhang Bin's villa, admiring the couplets written by Zhang Bin obsessively.

And Mother Zhang was bragging. She proudly said: "Have you seen such beautiful calligraphy? You must have never seen it. Let me tell you, my son is a rare calligraphy genius. He has only practiced for three months. No, it's only a month, and calligraphy has reached its peak. If this pair of calligraphy is sold, guess how much it is worth?"

"one thousand."

"two hundred."

"Five thousand."

"..."

Many villagers guessed in awe.

It's New Year's Eve, and they bought couplets recently, and they are all 20 yuan a piece.

Therefore, they guessed that they had already estimated the couplet written by Zhang Bin to be very high.

"Ha... a bunch of douchebags, in fact, like you, I am also a douchebag, and I didn't know the value of this couplet at first. Later, I heard Ruolan say that this couplet is of great value, and even if it's not good, it can be sold for 20,000 yuan. ." Mother Zhang said with saliva splashing.

She believes that 20,000 yuan for a pair of couplets is an exorbitant price.

This bullshit made her feel a little guilty.

"It's only a few words, it's worth 20,000, and a word is nearly 2,000."

"That Xiaobin writes thousands of words a day, isn't that worth millions?"

"Xiao Bin is so awesome, he's actually a calligrapher."

"..."

Many villagers saw more of Zhang Bin's magic, so they did not suspect that Zhang's mother was bragging, and they talked excitedly one by one.

Liu Ruolan ran out and said angrily, "Mom, when did I tell you that this couplet is worth 20,000 yuan?"

"This, didn't you say that just now? It seems to be talking to yourself."

Mother Zhang was a little embarrassed and very unhappy in her heart. This daughter-in-law is usually very sensible, why did she come to demolish it today? Where does this put his old face?

"Then you must have heard it wrong. Mom, let me tell you, this couplet can be compared to Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. Wang Xizhi is a calligrapher, and his original work has not been preserved, only imitations. So, this is after Wang Xizhi. , another calligraphy at the level of a calligrapher, the value is extremely huge, 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 didn't want Mother Zhang to make a joke, so she had to be reminded.

"More than 20 million? Is this true?"

Mother Zhang's eyes widened, her chin almost dropped, and shock was written on her face.

She felt that she had been bragging all her life, and she was not as good as the words that her daughter-in-law Liu Ruolan blew. It turned out that her daughter-in-law was also a master of bragging.

Many villagers were completely dumbfounded this time, standing there, unable to move, only the sound of rapid breathing sounded one after another.

"It's absolutely true. Master Lin Lanting, you know, he is a 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 believed it thoroughly.

One by one, they were so excited that they couldn't be more excited.

Mother Zhang is also very regretful. Why didn't she be bold when she was bragging just now, why didn't she say it was worth 20 million? Just say 20,000? There is a thousand words missing in the middle, which is too big of a difference. Alas, missed a great opportunity to brag.

Soon, the news that Zhang Bin's couplet was worth 20 million spread throughout Sanchahe Village.

Mother Cheng heard it naturally. She was dumbfounded for a long time, and then she sneaked out of the door, looked at it, and no one paid attention, and then she tore off most of the newly bought couplets in her home.

After a while, she appeared at Zhang Bin's house and entered Zhang Bin's room.

Zhang Bin was lying on Liu Ruolan's long legs, and Xiaofang was beating Zhang Bin's legs.

Seeing Mother Cheng coming, they naturally jumped up.

Zhang Bin also politely invited Cheng's mother to sit down on the sofa.

"Mom, why are you here?"

Xiaofang asked in surprise.

Because it will be dark soon, and tonight is New Year's Eve, it should be very busy. How could Mother Cheng have time to come here.

"It's like this, I don't know which arrogant kid ripped off the couplet in our family. It's too late to buy it now. So, so, I want Xiaobin to write a picture..."

Mother Cheng was a little nervous. After all, the couplet written by Zhang Bin was worth 20 million yuan.

Is she here to ask for 20 million?

Will Zhang Bin agree?

Are you going too far?

Xiaofang's face also changed, a little uneasy.

Does she still know her mother's tricks?

Will Zhang Bin be angry?

"Isn't it just a couplet? I'll write it right away as a gift for my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

After Zhang Bin finished speaking with a smile, he took out the pen and paper, swiped his pen on the table, and quickly wrote a couplet.

Of course it is unparalleled beauty.

In fact, he didn't like Mother Cheng at all, because she was too snobby and despised him many times in the past.

However, she has a good daughter, Xiaofang. Now that Xiaofang is his woman, she has to give her face instead of the monk's face and the Buddha's face.

What's more, father-in-law Cheng Youtian is a good person, how could he be reluctant to give up a couplet?

For him, it was just a gesture of effort.

Cheng's mother suddenly smiled and almost fell to her knees.

A couplet worth 20 million.

She won't sleep tonight, she must keep this couplet.

Xiaofang's face flew into a flowery smile, and her beautiful eyes were full of affection.

Liu Ruolan was also very happy, glad that Zhang Bin didn't care about the old grudges with Cheng's mother.

This is a man with a big heart.

Zhang Bin also went over in person and hung the couplet at Xiaofang's house.

Cheng Youtian and Cheng's mother were both flattered and grateful to Zhang Bin.

With such a couplet, their Cheng family is also considered a rich man.

If it wasn't New Year's Eve today, they would definitely hold Zhang Bin away.

Perhaps knowing that Mother Cheng was nervous about this couplet, Zhang Bin took a few steps and turned back and said with a smile: "Mom, now Sanchahe Village is within the defense range of my grand formation, it's absolutely safe to hang the couplet outside, you Don't be nervous at all."

"Well, I see. Then I can sleep tonight."

Mother Cheng was overjoyed, because Zhang Bin called her mother, which was something she had been looking forward to for a long time.

As soon as Zhang Bin left, she jumped up and down in the room, almost insane with joy.

"It's good to know Xiaobin now? Didn't you want to marry your daughter to that Fuji Qingshan?" Father Cheng said angrily.

"Old man, if you dare to bring this up in the future, I will fight with you." Cheng mother became angry and threatened.

"Don't mention it, don't mention it." Father Cheng said, "Go and prepare the food and drink for the New Year. Tomorrow Xiaobin will come to pay New Year's greetings, don't you know?"

"Well, I'll go right away." Mother Cheng rushed into the kitchen excitedly.
