Chapter 83 - Xiao Yi Engraved Words
Xiao Yi's face had already turned completely black, and he looked like charred charcoal.
For this lunch, Xiao Yi was not very happy to eat. During the banquet, the senior officials of Jianghai made a scene. This bunch of old foxes were all flabbergasted in the political world. Secretly, he still retained a bit of the attitude of an old urchin.
As the alcohol continued to gush out, everyone leaned back against the sofa to rest. Lu Haiyang dozed for a while, then quickly stood up and retrieved a pen and ink from the study room. With a straight face, he sincerely spoke to Xiao Yi: "Mr. Xiao, being able to visit this humble house is my honor. Today, I hope that Mr. Xiao can bring up a few words as a souvenir. "
Eating was like floating clouds, the main point was the inscription.
Immediately, she came to the main topic at hand, and many pairs of eyes began to light up as they looked at Xiao Yi. They wanted to see if Xiao Yi was willing to say these words.
Or did he just eat it and leave?
"Sure, what question?" Take someone else's hand short, eat someone else's mouth short. Xiao Yi did not hesitate and agreed.
"How about a couplet?" Lu Haiyang thought for a while, then said happily.
"What question?" Xiao Yi picked up the brush he had prepared, and asked again.
"It's entirely up to Mr. Xiao." To Lu Haiyang, the questions did not matter at all. As long as it was Xiao Yi's calligraphy, that was enough.
"Alright." Xiao Yi laughed sinisterly, thinking of how these old cunning foxes had played tricks on him during the feast. After that, it became a pair of beautiful couplets.
In just three short minutes, Xiao Yi's set of words had been completed. He threw the brush in his hand onto the ink stone and laughed. Then, he loudly shouted: "Done!"
Lu Haiyang's face was immediately filled with excitement as he looked at the few large words written on the paper, which seemed to have the charm of a dragon and the grace of a phoenix. Instantly, a happy expression appeared on his face. Then, he slowly started to read the big word written by Xiao Yi.
White woman water mountain
Black Li Kui old man trolley.
It was like a golden dragon soaring into the sky, a fierce dragon swimming in the water. The words were indeed not bad, and they seemed to be filled with a heroic spirit. However, these fourteen words were rather meaningful. Seeing this, Lu Haiyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The awkward smile on his face was frozen on his face.
As for the group of dignitaries on the sofa, they could not help but laugh out loud. Towards Xiao Yi's excellent couplet, they all praised and raised their thumbs up for a moment.
"You want to take one out?" Xiao Yi laughed in ridicule, looking at the group of old cunning foxes, he opened his mouth to ask.
This group of dignitaries was completely stunned by Xiao Yi's perfect couplet. He was stunned, and couldn't think of a suitable batch no matter how hard he tried.
Finally, a thought flashed through Director Wei's mind and he loudly spat out two words.
"Good, good, good."
Lu Haiyang wrote a few words consecutively in the hall, and everyone started to praise him. Even Xiao Yi laughed, he admired Director Wei's talent from the bottom of his heart.
Casually picking up his brush, he waved it and wrote these four words without a second word.
The expression Lu Haiyang requested was immediately completed. White woman of the mountain of water, black Li Kui old man carts, a large number of dry arms.
The handwriting was strong and forceful. It looked like a whale swallowing the river. It was just that the couplet had some hidden meaning, which made Lu Haiyang at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Alright, the question is already answered. Director Lu, are you satisfied? " Xiao Yi looked at Director Lu and started to mock him.
Lu Haiyang laughed bitterly, looked at the words, and unwillingly muttered: "Not bad, not bad."
"Hahaha …"
Seeing Lu Haiyang forcing himself to admit it, everyone laughed. The hall became lively once again.
Rest for a while in the hall
The directors dispersed. Xiao Yi thought about it and decided to rest in Director Lu's villa. At noon, he accompanied this bunch of old foxes for a drink, just in time for their afternoon nap. Since he had nothing to do in the afternoon, he couldn't be bothered to go home and rest at Director Lu's place. At night, he pounced on another meal.
The one he slept the most was in the afternoon, after Xiao Yi had slept for a long time. He slowly circulated the Nine Dragons True Qi in his body once through. Then, the Director Wei sent a car over to take it for dinner.
Xiao Yi sat in the Director Wei's Mercedes-Benz and secretly felt good about it. It was a good day to have a good meal and a good wine. Compared to the days when the birds on the mountain were in pain, it was indeed much more wonderful.
At another villa, another table, and it was even Jiang Hai's group of dignitaries. Compared to the afternoon, there were a few more unfamiliar faces. Xiao Yi didn't clearly remember every single person's name, but he knew that all of these people were great characters whose legs were trembling so hard that it seemed as if they were going to crumble at any moment.
The only difference was that they switched the time to night.
After the wine was served, everyone's faces were bright red. Under the influence of the alcohol, all of them were slightly excited.
Drinking was not the main point. The inscription was the main point. Every single word from Xiao Yi had long ago become hard to come by.
Seeing that it was almost time, Director Wei quickly brought out pen and paper for Xiao Yi to write. However, the roll of paper that Director Wei had brought over was a little too big for him. If it was made flat, Xiao Yi felt that he could lie on top of it.
"What are these questions?" Without waiting for Director Wei to speak, Xiao Yi was the first to ask.
Director Wei laughed a little embarrassedly, then licked his lips and spoke greedily: "Mr. Xiao, since you have come up with a question, how about … …"
As soon as Director Wei finished speaking, everyone was slightly taken aback. The nave, as its name implied, was a large painting hanging in the middle of the study room.
Compared to the couplets from the Director Lu, there were indeed too many words to be written in the middle hall. Seeing that Director Lu had written a couplet at noon, he decided to let Xiao Yi write a couplet in the middle of the night.
"Old Wei, you're too fierce, aren't you?" The first one who did not do so was Lu Haiyang. He angrily shouted at Director Wei: "To have Mr. Xiao write so many characters is already a request of others. But now, you actually have no sense of shame and dare to show it. This Jiang Hai, who didn't know that the Mr. Xiao was made of gold? If you write hundreds of sizes in this nave. "Then, are you making a lot of money from this competition?"
After being scolded so harshly by Lu Haiyang, Old Wei immediately said softly with a flushed face: "I asked Mr. Xiao to help me with the inscription, what are you so nervous for? Mr. Xiao, look … "
Originally, it didn't matter to Xiao Yi how much Xiao Yi wrote, but when he heard Lu Haiyang's words, each word was worth a thousand gold. Immediately, he reevaluated the price of his own calligraphy.
Based on what he had heard, Xiao Yi would definitely suffer a huge loss if he were to write this. This kind of business loss, Xiao Yi was not stupid enough to do it. Immediately, he laughed and rejected it, "What I am giving Director Lu is a couplet. Now, give Director Wei a couplet. In my opinion, this would be fair. "
When Director Wei saw the burning gazes on him, they were all gazes of jealousy and envy. Furthermore, since Xiao Yi had said so, as someone who understood the situation, Director Wei would immediately take a step back and softly say: "Since that's the case, then Mr. Xiao will help me solve a couplet."
"Alright."
Director Wei's voice was not loud, as it spread out in all directions. When he read the last word, he finally realized that something was wrong. When he wanted to stop, it was already too late.
Everyone began to laugh out loud, laughing in an incomparably exaggerated and arrogant manner. These important members of the political world had normally solemn expressions on their faces, but they had all turned into crazed, ridiculing expressions.
"How is it?" The cause of this matter, Xiao Yi, saw Director Wei whose face had turned green, and acted as if he was asking for it.
Director Wei looked at the crowd's exaggerated smiles, then looked at Xiao Yi as he asked himself seriously. Instantly, he squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Everyone, think of a scolding." Seeing that the Director Wei was not willing to answer them, Xiao Yi raised his head and looked towards the crowd.
Everyone slightly restrained their smiles as they looked at the line of flamboyant words written on the paper. Then, one by one, they shook their heads, as if putting on an act.
