Yi Wan sat on the chair and looked at Bo Jiang.
Bo Jiang is 21 years old this year. Four years ago, he won the first place in liberal arts with the best score in the city, and was admitted to the history department of the top university in S City. He was named the "most beautiful schoolboy" when he entered the school, and his college entrance examination essay got full marks for his unique form of writing. Genius quality and energy are the standard of every male protagonist. Therefore, in addition to his studies, he has always continued his trainee career in AT agency.
His sudden appearance has greatly shattered the stereotype that "all celebrities are uneducated and unskilled" in the eyes of ordinary people. The at agency was very proud and bought a lot of press releases to promote its own trainee who had signed a 20-year artist contract.
The uniqueness of the "schoolmaster" persona meant that the top management did not kill the goose that lays the golden eggs and immediately change Bo Jiang's traffic. They generously allowed Bo Jiang to continue his studies with the greatest degree of freedom, and only asked him to occasionally take on some variety shows or activities similar to "The Brain" to continue his exposure.
They signed Bo Jiang when he was 12 years old. The company originally wanted him to debut as a member of a group, but unfortunately the project was not selected. Bo Jiang's performance over the years was mediocre, and even the company did not expect that his personality would change drastically after he turned 14, and he brought them an amazing surprise when he was 17 years old.
Thanks to Bo Jiang's excellent appearance and his college entrance examination results, which are considered groundbreaking in the entertainment industry, Bo Jiang has maintained a considerable degree of popularity over the past four years, even though his exposure is not high. His fans are also very loyal and have a strange sense of aloofness...
This year, it is time for Bo Jiang to graduate.
The brush that was writing on the rice paper stopped.
"… Is there something on my face?" Bo Jiang asked lightly.
Yi Wan shook his head: "No."
"Then you must be wondering why I sent someone to bring you here." Bo Jiang continued his writing, outlining the romantic style with every stroke, "Brother Liu called me before."
He paused, waiting for Yi Wan to speak. Yi Wan thought for a moment and said, "Brother Liu, do you want us to cultivate team camaraderie?"
Bo Jiang stopped writing and glanced at him indifferently.
His eyes were standard phoenix eyes, and even when he looked at people with a smile, his narrow eyes made him look a little cold. He said, "It seems that you don't know anything - that's all, it doesn't matter if you don't know. Sometimes, you need to pay more attention to the people around you."
Yi Wan blinked. Bo Jiang did not reply. He was not the type to like explaining things to others.
Besides, he was not very familiar with Yi Wan.
After finishing the last stroke, Bo Jiang put the brush aside. The ink of this era would dry out very quickly on the rice paper of this era. Bo Jiang thought that this was probably one of the few good things about this era.
He really has no sense of belonging or belonging in this era. These ink and paper are probably the only things that he has some sense of belonging.
Noticing that Yi Wan seemed to be staring at this place, Bo Jiang blew the paper, turned around and smiled at him: "Yi Wan, do you want to come over and take a look?"
Bo Jiang turned sideways and showed him his skills like a nobleman inviting a guest.
He came up with this calligraphy on a whim and wanted to give it to the old man of the Bo family.
Bo Jiang had no feelings for the family that flattered the powerful, so he had not prepared any gifts in advance. The Bo family was very arrogant, and they treated this outstanding collateral child like a son-in-law. The Bo family was famous for its research in archaeology and Chinese studies, and had countless treasures, ancient books, and materials. All resources were generously opened to the children of the Bo family, but when the children of the Bo family were waiting to divide the family, they were like stingy misers, fearing that the resources would leak out.
If not for this, Bo Jiang would not have been unable to endure the cold stares from her family and would not have "sold herself for 20 years" at such a young age to become a candidate idol for the AT agency.
However, when he opened the auction brochure today, Bo Jiang felt that things were getting interesting. Among the items being auctioned was a calligraphy work. The work was created by his younger brother in his previous life. The Bo family regarded it as a treasure and would not show it to the branch family members easily.
And it was he who personally taught him the tricks of his younger brother, who had betrayed him and ultimately caused him to die for his country.
My younger brother has not yet learned even 70% of his spiritual energy.
Bo Jiang found a temporary place to write. He used the font he used to write on the rice paper.
Flowing cloud body.
This was the font he often used when he was a son of a fallen country, and it was also the font his brother used in his works. Bo Jiang knew that this font was very popular in calligraphy and painting nowadays, and literati regarded it as the body of a fallen country because of the sons who died for their country, and felt it was unlucky.
Adding this work as an Easter egg in the final auction and comparing it with the "masterpiece" may have very interesting results.
Bo Jiang did not expect Yi Wan to have any appreciation. He was just being polite and was going to order his servants to mount the rice paper. When he turned around, he saw Yi Wan still lowering his head, staring at the calligraphy.
"Do you know anything about this?" Bo Jiang felt that his eyes were a little playful, "Or do you have any relevant experience?"
"I've been to several museums, and when I was in elementary school, I learned it and participated in a magic competition organized by an institution, and won second place," Yi Wan said.
"Oh. I remember you also participated in orienteering competitions in middle school?"
"Yeah." Yi Wan nodded honestly.
He learned the art at the Junior High School. Every Saturday, his uncle would send him there and take his own children to the amusement park. Yi Wan would stay there every Saturday, scribbling with a group of children on the five-sheet rice paper given by the teacher for one yuan, or on the children around him...
Finally, a group of children were driven by the teacher to the toilet, where they lined up to wash their pen holders or their towels in the dark water.
— Barely considered trained, Yi Wan thought.
However, after reading the detailed introduction booklet of the auction items and Bo Jiang's calligraphy works today, Yi Wan had a strange sense of enlightenment. This sense of enlightenment was similar to the feeling he had when he woke up and followed Ding Biehan to participate in "Green Tracks" and looked at those convex lenses or plants.
—I always feel like I passed by a certain film set at some time that I didn’t know about and learned something, Yi Wan thought.
"Very good." Bo Jiang said casually, thinking that Yi Wan also had some basics, "So what do you think of this calligraphy?"
"I think... it looks familiar."
"This is a very cold font. It seems that your master is a very knowledgeable and talented person." Bo Jiang said.
The auction was about to begin, and Bo Jiang had completed the task of blocking Yi Wan from communicating with the dark Yu Rongshi. He glanced at the clock, thinking that during the auction, Yu Rongshi would not have any chance to do anything to Yi Wan.
"Let's go to the auction house." Bo Jiang asked the waiter of the Bo family to frame the painting. "Yi Wan, I'll take you back after the auction."
The two walked towards the auction house, and the brilliant lights were right in front of them. Bo Jiangnan was interested in Yi Wan's erudite master who knew his own calligraphy, and asked him, "Who taught you about Buddhism?"
There was nothing to do during the long days, and perhaps when he had some free time, he could go and have a chat with the knowledgeable old man.
"The S City Nian Palace." Yi Wan replied.
Year Palace.
palace.
Bo Jiang, who came from five hundred years ago, was very sensitive to the word "palace". When he traveled to this body at the age of thirteen, he was not familiar with the institutions of this world and only learned cultural knowledge, so he naturally interpreted it as a group of institutions similar to the ancient palace.
However, he did not expect that Yi Wan's family background was even worse than he imagined. When he was the captain and got some information about Yi Wan, he originally thought that Yi Wan did not receive any love from his family.
"Your parents sent you to the palace to be trained. Yi Wan, they seemed to have high expectations for you." Bo Jiang said, silently memorizing the unfamiliar word "Nian Palace".
"My parents didn't raise me. My uncle raised me." Yi Wan replied, "But I didn't see this font when I was in the palace. It's..."
Bo Jiang pushed open the door of the auction hall.
"… but it is a bit like the one in today's auction. They look very similar, and even a bit like they were made by the same person…"
The auction was going on right before her eyes. Bo Jiang paused for a moment and said, pretending to be casual: "So what do you think of these two paintings..."
"Actually, I think that Brother Bo's painting is better." Yi Wan said.
The conversation stopped at this moment, and a member of the Bo family came over. The man was very young, only a few years older than Bo Jiang, but the arrogance in his eyes was unmatched.
"I was wondering who had just come. It turned out to be Bo Jiang." The man smiled and said, "Have you prepared a birthday gift for Grandpa Tianhou's 80th birthday? I know it's not easy to be a small artist. If you need any money, just ask me."
As he spoke, he slowly bent down and whispered in Bo Jiang's ear: "I am your elder brother after all. As your younger brother, how about you ask me for help occasionally?"
"You don't need the gold and silver." Bo Jiang said calmly, "I have prepared a letter of rites, which has been framed. It will be enough to auction it today."
"Really? Then I wish your method could fetch a high price." The man said, "You will ask me for it one day, brother."
The last sentence was a long, low voice. After he finished speaking, he stood up and looked at Yi Wan beside him with phoenix eyes similar to Bo Jiang's: "This man has a strange face... Is he your friend?"
"He's a friend I invited." Another voice said gently.
When Master Bo turned around, he saw Yu Rongshi standing on the side. He seemed to have seen the slightly tense atmosphere here and was waiting here to help Yi Wan out. After seeing Yu Rongshi, Master Bo's domineering attitude was much restrained: "So he is Mr. Yu's friend."
"Let me introduce you. This is Yi Wan, my junior with a promising future." Yu Rongshi said with a smile, "I won't disturb you brothers from reminiscing about the past. Yi Wan, shall we go?"
Yi Wan nodded to the two of them and left the tense battlefield. Yu Rongshi felt very strange. When he was about to take Yi Wan away, Bo Jiang gave him a cold and indifferent look.
He didn't remember ever having been involved in Bo Jiang's story.
"The one who was talking to you just now was Bo Xin, the eldest son of the family and Bo Jiang's cousin. He seemed to be somewhat interested in Bo Jiang. However, since orthopedics does not allow this, he should just be an image that was slapped in the face in Bo Jiang's story."
On the way back to his seat, Yu Rongshi spoke lightly, as if he didn't care at all about what explosive content he said.
—After taking off the mask and being exposed, you really let yourself go, Teacher Yu.
Yu Rongshi smiled and tried to see Yi Wan's reaction, but Yi Wan just sat in his chair and read the auction book. After realizing that he was staring at him, Yi Wan tilted his head and said, "Uh..."
Yu Rongshi: “Hmm?”
"Thank you, Brother Yu, for your help," he said.
Yu Rongshi: "After going out, you seem to have changed your tone of voice?"
Yi Wan: "Maybe it was infected by Bo Jiang."
Yi Wan continued to look down at the manual. Yu Rongshi looked at him with interest. He tried for a long time, but Yi Wan still did not reveal whether he knew Bo Jiang's "secret".
Yi Wan's reaction was always ambiguous.
He was somewhat puzzled as to why Bo Jiang wanted to take Yi Wan away, but he changed the question when asking: "Yi Wan, you helped me, have you thought about the gift as a reward?"
Yi Wan spoke this time.
"Well... let's buy some of Bo Jiang's calligraphy works."
Yu Rongshi:
Yi Wan: "It feels like it will be very valuable."
