Allusion
Lord Bull cleared his throat and organized his words.
"To be honest, this is the first time I've seen such a treasure with my own eyes. In the past, I always thought that the records in the book were just legends. I didn't expect it to be true.
I once read an allusion in an unofficial history book. It was said that Wang Xizhi had a Kirin Golden Star Inkstone in his hand. When it came into contact with water, it would emit steam and an auspicious sign of the Kirin stepping on the air. It was really fortunate to be able to see it with my own eyes today.
Tell me, where did you find such a priceless treasure?”
The old man sighed and looked at Zhang Zheng with envy for the first time.
Zhang Zheng chuckled when he heard that. He rubbed his head and said,
"I was just lucky.”
After that, Zhang Zheng told Niu Gensheng everything that happened when he met Hua Yanran at the trust store in the morning.
After listening to his story, Lord Bull nodded and a smile appeared on his face.
"You're really lucky, kid. However, this is also your blessing and your good karma!”
After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something and continued,
"Right, I remember that the book said that Wang Xizhi's Golden Star Inkstone can only be seen on rainy days, so I'll leave it with me for the time being. I'll appreciate it on rainy days.”
"No problem, but Master, you have so many treasures. Can you take out one for me to take a look?”
Zhang Zheng could see the old man's fondness for the inkstone and quickly took the opportunity to raise his conditions.
He knew that the old man had been collecting antiques for many years and definitely had a few good things in his hands. However, he usually hid them very tightly and Zhang Zheng rarely had the chance to see them.
"Hurry up and get lost. Don't you think I don't know what you're up to? Don't give me that. If the treasure falls into your hands, do you think there's any room for it to come back?”
When Lord Bull heard this, he scolded with a smile. Then, he changed the topic,
"But if you're willing to give this inkstone to me, you can choose any item in my treasure room.”
'Damn, the old man is really cunning. He doesn't do anything that will make him suffer a loss,' Zhang Zheng thought to himself.
However, he did not know if the inkstone would be considered a successful collection or if the system would take back the reward.
If the system allowed it, he would really be willing to exchange an antique of the same level with the old man.
With this thought in mind, Zhang Zheng began to communicate with the system in his mind.
"System, if I give the inkstone to someone else, will it be considered a successful collection?”
"It doesn't count. If the ownership of the antique is not in the host's hands, then the system reward will be withdrawn!”
The system's cold and heartless voice echoed in Zhang Zheng's mind.
As expected!
He knew that the system would not let him take advantage of the loophole so easily.
After hearing the system's answer, Zhang Zheng could not help but think to himself. It seemed that his plan to exchange an antique from the old man's hands had failed.
Beside him, Lord Bull seemed to have noticed Zhang Zheng's disappointment and could not help but comfort him,
"Zhengzi, don't think too much. It's not that I can't bear to part with those antiques. Each of my three sons can inherit my mantle. After I die, won't those things be left to you?”
At this point, the old man suddenly became sad, and a trace of loneliness appeared on his face.
"Bah!" Zhang Zheng quickly spat a few mouthfuls on the ground." Master, what are you saying? You will definitely live to a hundred years old!”
Niu Defu echoed,
"That's right, Dad. Don't say such things in the future. Those who don't know might think that we're abusing you.”
"Alright, let's not talk about this. People tend to think too much when they're old.
Masako, didn't you bring wine and cooked food over? Let's have a good drink tonight!”
The old man quickly calmed down from his sad mood and regained some energy.
"I'll listen to you. I won't be working tomorrow, so let's drink as much as we want tonight!”Zhang Zheng promised.
……
The drinking session lasted until ten o'clock at night. Zhang Zheng, Master Niu, and Niu Defu finished a total of two catties of white wine.
Fortunately, Zhang Zheng's alcohol tolerance was not bad. After drinking so much, he did not drink until he was dead drunk. After eating and drinking well, he staggered home alone.
When he entered the bedroom, he saw a thick stack of books on the table. He was stunned for a moment before he remembered that Han Chunming had sent them.
Tomorrow was Xu Jingtian's birthday. He asked Han Chunming to get him some books suitable for her age as a birthday present.
After flipping through the books, Zhang Zheng realized that Han Chunming had given him quite a few books. Other than a few encyclopedia books, there were also quite a number of third grade exam papers.
"Hey, why did Chunming make so many questions? If she sent them to Jingtian herself, she would hate herself.”
Zhang Zheng didn't know what Han Chunming was thinking. He actually gave him so many questions. Wasn't this cheating Jingtian?
Jingtian was at the age where she loved to play. So many questions would definitely become a nightmare that she could not get rid of. It left a deep impression on her.
Zhang Zheng felt that he couldn't do such a tasteless thing. He thought that he would only give those few encyclopedia books tomorrow and forget about the rest.
Then, she washed up and went to bed.
The night was silent.
