Hong Chen supported Boss Zhu and said kindly,""Boss Zhu, don't get too excited. One thousand gold taels is definitely worth it.”
Boss Zhu steadied himself and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He squeezed out a smile and said,""Grandmaster is right, you are right.”
There were many wealthy businessmen who requested for paintings, but Hong Chen declined politely.
"The article is natural, and the wonderful pen comes by chance. Today, this master's inspiration has been used up.”Hong Chen said calmly.
Many people muttered in their hearts,""How is he a ten-year-old child? He's clearly an old fox who has lived for more than fifty years!”
Things are precious when they are rare.
Hong Chen was not in a hurry to sell his calligraphy and paintings. He did not lack money anyway.
"Oh right, I almost forgot about the important matter after being disturbed by you guys!”
Hong Chen slapped his forehead and looked at the pretty lady, Lu Qingxiao, and asked,""Pretty lady, may I ask where the Sage of Calligraphy is? He still owes me money.”
Lu Qingxiao chuckled and said,"The small debt collectors have come to collect their debts."”
"Grandpa doesn't like the noise of people, so he's in the backyard to admire the flowers. As for the money, Grandpa has already prepared it for Scholar Hong Chen.”
Hong Chen waved his hands and praised,"Grandpa is indeed the Sage of Calligraphy. It feels so good."”
"The carriage is already prepared outside the door. Pretty Sister can send servants to carry the silver to the carriage.”
"Alright, no problem." Lu Qingxiao nodded.”
Ten thousand taels of silver.
Even if a large silver ingot worth fifty taels of silver was transported in boxes, it would be at least two large boxes.
Two young and strong servants from the Lu Residence carried a large box onto the carriage.
Hong Chen leaped lightly onto the horse's back and waved goodbye to Lu Qingxiao.""Goodbye, pretty lady. Remember to say hello to the old man for me and thank him.”
Lu Qingxiao was overjoyed to be called a beautiful lady. She said happily,""When you have time, come to the residence often to play and exchange calligraphy. I also especially like calligraphy.”
"Alright, it's a deal!"
After Hong Chen and Lu Qingxiao made their agreement, they clamped their legs on the horse's stomach.
With a " drive " sound, he whipped the carriage.
"Ten thousand taels of silver, you can buy a large mansion in the capital.”
"He's only ten years old, but he's already so rich. It's enviable.”
"Sigh, when I was ten years old, I was just playing house. He already had ten thousand taels of silver in assets.”
"Comparing people is infuriating."
The people standing in the Lu Manor looked at Hong Chen's departing figure with envy and jealousy.
She was only a ten-year-old child, but she had already reached the peak of her life!
Without a doubt, Master Hong Chen would become the next Sage of Calligraphy after Luc Xi!
No one noticed.
After Hong Chen drove off, a few tall and sturdy figures silently followed closely behind.
When Hong Chen drove the carriage to a less crowded alley, a powerful figure descended from the sky and blocked Hong Chen's path.
Immediately, behind Hong Chen, and to his left and right, several people blocked his way.
Hong Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the burly figure blocking the way at the very front.
"Scarface? Was it the wanted criminal from the government office, Scarface Li, with a cultivation at the eighth level of the Body Tempering stage?”
Scarface Li held the nine-ringed machete in his hand and laughed hideously. The scar on his face that pierced through his left eye started to twist.
"Little kid, I didn't expect you to know my name.”
Hong Chen raised his small face and said seriously,""The yamen has a bounty on your head, so I paid attention to it.”
"Unfortunately, your head isn't worth much. It's not as valuable as my calligraphy.”
"Otherwise…"
"I'll go take your head and exchange it for the bounty at the yamen."”
The man beside him laughed out loud,"Scarface Li, your reputation is not good.”
Scarface Li's ferocious face immediately darkened, and his eyes revealed a fierce light.
Even a young man without any cultivation would probably pee his pants, let alone a child.
Hong Chen turned his head and swept a glance, recognizing their identities.
"The dart never misses. Liu Qing, the one-eyed dragon who specializes in using hidden weapons, is at the sixth level of the Body Tempering stage.”
"Yan Xiaosan, who has an impressive Light-body Technique and is known as the 'Flying Swallow on the Beam,' is at the seventh level of the Body Tempering stage.”
"He was originally a butcher. Later, he slaughtered dozens of people from a wealthy family in one night.”
"Tsk, tsk. The bounty from the yamen for the four of you added together is not even worth the money for one word of mine.”
Hong Chen shook his head, his eyes filled with disdain.
Liu Qing, Liang Shangfei, Yan Xiaosan, Butcher Zhao, and Scarface Li were all furious.
They were actually despised by a ten-year-old child?
To be honest, any one of the four of them had a fierce reputation that could scare a child to tears. In the end, the ten-year-old boy opposite them was extremely calm.
"Heroes, why waste your breath on him? Kill him, divide the ten thousand taels of silver, and then we'll go our separate ways!”
At this moment, a sinister voice came from the corner of the alley.
A man covered in whip marks looked at Hong Chen with sinister eyes.
"So it's you, the coachman?"
Hong Chen's eyes emitted a hint of icy cold killing intent.
