Chapter 1871

She was numb.

This thing, even a six-year-old child paints better than Gao Yang. You want to sell this for money?

And you want to sell it for a good price?

Gao Gao Changwen also had a strange expression.

If this thing could sell for a good price, why would he, Gao Gao Changwen, have to struggle to make storybooks?

If anyone wants this, and it sells for more than two taels of silver, I'll eat shit!

"One picture isn't enough, I have to paint a few more, like 'Tiger Descending the Mountain,' 'Lady Bathing,' 'Divine Dragon Wagging its Tail,' all of them must be included."

"Only then can it sell for a good price!"

Gao Yang moved the 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix' picture aside and picked up the brush again.

This time it wasn't a picture, but calligraphy!

The characters were like dog scratches, like chickens writing, crisscrossing, crooked, and almost written in one breath.

This already extremely ugly handwriting became even uglier.

Shangguan Wan'er's brows furrowed even tighter.

Chu Chu Qingluan also looked puzzled.

Is Gao Yang a fool?

Anyone in the world who has this thought, no matter who they are, basically becomes the biggest fool.

So, what is Gao Yang's intention?

Gao Gao Changwen said weakly, "Brother, is this calligraphy also for auction?"

He felt that if Gao Yang didn't want to sell it for money to add bricks and tiles to Great Qian's education cause, then he might as well not hold an auction.

This handwriting, even he, Gao Gao Changwen, felt it was extremely ugly, so that says it all.

You want to sell this?

The merchants of the world, the officials of the court, which one isn't a shrewd person? Would they take the money they worked hard to embezzle or earn, and instead of spending it on luxury and pleasure, come to buy this broken thing?

"Why, do you think the handwriting is ugly?"

Gao Yang asked.

Gao Gao Changwen stammered, really feeling guilty, but fearing Gao Yang's lewd power, he could only say, "This calligraphy isn't that ugly, it's just that it's not obviously good-looking."

"Superficial!"

"Gao Changwen, your appreciation of art really needs improvement!"

Gao Yang took out his personal seal, stamped it on with a 'pop,' and muttered to himself.

"But that's normal. Art is a minor path; those who like it think it's priceless, those who don't like it think it's worthless!"

"Art is only sold to those who like it!"

"This is the most incredible and unique charm of art!"

Gao Yang picked up his calligraphy and his 'Chick Pecking Rice' picture, sighing with emotion.

Gao Gao Changwen really couldn't be insincere anymore.

He hurriedly found an excuse and slipped away quickly, shaking his head as he walked. This is art, my ass!

But Shangguan Wan'er was stunned.

Boom!

At this moment.

Shangguan Wan'er felt as if she had been struck by a thunderbolt, suddenly splitting the fog in her brain.

Her beautiful eyes widened, and she suddenly understood.

Chu Chu Qingluan's beautiful eyes also widened, understanding the meaning!

Art is only sold to those who understand art—this sentence has deep meaning!

"Gao Yang, this matter is not allowed! Her Majesty will definitely be enraged by this resignation. Once this auction is held, if it sells for an extremely high price, once you resign, I'm afraid you'll have even more enemies!"

Gao Yang smiled, "Wan'er, what kind of people do you think will buy these paintings?"

Before Shangguan Wan'er could answer, Gao Yang continued, "Three types of people. First, my former enemies. They will take the opportunity to buy the paintings to repair their relationship with me. It looks like buying paintings, but in reality, they are sending money."

"Second, those who want to curry favor with me, get a glimpse of me, or have requests for me or want to use my name to speculate and sell at a high price!"

"Third, those who are blind or have bad brains."

"What psychological burden is there to pit these three types of people?"

"After resigning, it won't be easy to make money. This Young Master still owes ten million taels of silver for Great Qian's education cause. If I don't take this opportunity to make a fortune, I'm afraid I'll regret it later!"

Shangguan Wan'er's expression was complex.

She should have guessed it earlier; how could the big thing Gao Yang mentioned be so simple!

"Cutting off someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents. Although this isn't cutting off their path to wealth, it is still pitting people."

"Once the matter of resigning is exposed, you will definitely attract jealousy."

Gao Yang laughed directly when he heard this.

He asked back, "Wan'er, even if I don't pit them, do you think that once I resign and break with Wu Zhao, those enemies won't kick me while I'm down?"

"Human nature is inherently inferior, and revenge will only be endless. They can't wait to trample me to death and make me never be able to turn over. Instead of that, it's better to strike first!"

"Besides, since I, Gao Yang, dare to do it, why should I fear the revenge of these former enemies?"

Gao Yang's eyes were indifferent, and when he said the last sentence, his whole being was filled with an indescribable dominance.

This was destined to be a test of human nature, and it was destined that some people would suffer a dumb loss and swallow it whole!

"Since you want to do it, then do it."

Shangguan Wan'er looked helpless.

Gao Yang was right. Even if he didn't pit them, as long as he resigned and broke with Wu Zhao, would those enemies let go of the opportunity to kick him while he was down?

But ten million taels of silver, Gao Yang was still carrying it on his shoulders alone!

Now she was curious about how much silver these calligraphy and paintings of Gao Yang could sell for!

"Chen Sheng, release the news, say that this Chancellor is going to hold a charity auction, and there are some good things to auction. All the money from the auction will be invested in Great Qian's education cause!"

"Whether they are merchants, scholars, or officials of Great Qian in Changancheng, everyone can come to participate!"

"Remember to emphasize that this auction is only for charity. All past grievances are put aside, everyone can come, and to protect privacy, I have specially prepared masks, so everyone can come boldly!"

Shangguan Wan'er: "……"

Chu Chu Qingluan: "……"

The two looked at each other, and both saw a complexity in each other's eyes.

Ruthless!

Too ruthless!

This is to treat all those enemies as Kunlun slaves!
