The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 41
[Chapter 41: The Prodigal Son’s Gameplay]
This should be the style of a prodigal son.
Xu Wenxuan had already heard about what kind of person Lin Tian was before, but during his interactions with Lin Tian, he felt that Lin Tian was more of a scholar.
But after seeing him today, it seems that the rumors are not all false.
At least Lin Tian is now a prodigal son!
“Do you really think that having a few stinky money is great?”
“I hate this kind of prodigal son who is arrogant because of a few stinky money the most, and wastes food without any knowledge!”
“Not everything can be bought with money!”
“Miss Maner will definitely not be interested in such a person!”
No matter in which world, there is always a shortage of people who hate the rich.
After all, people always hate what they can’t get.
Xu Wenxuan couldn’t help frowning when he heard these words, but he turned his head to look at Lin Tian, and Lin Tian didn’t even move his eyebrows.
It seemed that those words were not spoken to him. Lin Tian was tasting the pastries of Yuhua Pavilion with great interest.
Well, it’s not as delicious as the ones made in my house!
Lin Tian took two bites and threw it back. Since he ate pastries with modern flavors, he no longer looked down on these ordinary pastries.
“Money is not everything, but not having money is absolutely impossible!”
Feeling a little boring, Lin Tian stood up again and said to those who were pointing fingers at him.
“Don’t you look down on rich people? I’ll give you ten taels of silver. Each of you can say one word to praise me. I’ll give it to the one who praises me to my satisfaction.”
After saying that, Lin Tian glanced at those who were quite dissatisfied with him.
Most of them were literati. They thought they were noble and noble. What they looked down on the most was rich people like Lin Tian who were uneducated and unskilled.
“It’s just ten taels of silver. Although this money is a lot, it can’t buy our conscience!”
“What a stinky rich kid!”
“Do you really think you can do whatever you want with money? It’s ridiculous!”
Lin Tian smiled. It was just that the money he gave was not enough.
There are loyal people, but they are few. Most of them are sour literati who are pretentious.
“Twenty taels.”
Lin Tian took out the silver note and slapped it on the table.
The discussion gradually subsided.
“Forty taels.”
Some people began to hesitate.
“Eighty taels.”
“I… I’ll do it!” said a person who just yelled at Lin Tian’s stench.
Xu Wenxuan was already stunned. He didn’t expect there was such a way to play.
“Praise it.”
Lin Tian played with the jade pendant on his waist without even moving his eyelids.
He had already foreseen this result.
The so-called treating money as dirt is just because the temptation is not big enough.
“Master Lin… Master Lin is handsome, elegant, and handsome, and he has fascinated thousands of girls!”
The man asked tentatively. If it was only ten taels of silver, it would be fine, but this is a full eighty taels.
Their family’s income for nearly a year!
He was born in a poor family and studied hard for more than ten years. He despised those sons of rich families the most.
But this couldn’t resist the temptation of money!
“Go on, have you studied for so many years in vain?”
Lin Tian raised his eyelids, indicating that he was really dissatisfied with such a few words of praise.
The man didn’t expect Lin Tian to have any requests. He paused and felt humiliated.
“You!”
“One hundred and sixty taels.”
Without waiting for the man to speak, Lin Tian bid for another stack of banknotes.
Eighty taels was already tempting enough, and now it has doubled. Seeing this dozen of banknotes, many people are jealous.
“Can you do it? If not, I’ll do it!”
Some people around have already started to make a fuss. One hundred and sixty taels is already a large sum of money for ordinary people.
“Master Lin is handsome and generous. I was shortsighted and misunderstood you! If it weren’t for Master Lin’s timely rescue and dragging me, a drowning man, to the light, I’m afraid I would have fallen to death!”
“Thank you Master Lin for saving my life. Your brilliance saves all living beings, and your tolerance is as broad as the sea…”
Seeing that the silver was about to be obtained, how could the person who spoke at the beginning be willing to let go? He simply gritted his teeth and said everything he could say.
When he was about to run out of words, Lin Tian picked his ears and changed his posture.
“Okay, from now on, keep your eyes open and keep your mouth shut.”
Lin Tian stretched his body, handed the stack of silver notes, a total of 160 taels, to the man, and waved him away.
The whole process was smooth and Xu Wenxuan watched with great interest.
He didn’t expect that Lin Tian was so interesting.
“Have you seen enough? If you have, help me take down that Miss Maner!”
Lin Tian raised his eyelids, glanced at Xu Wenxuan, changed his position and continued to lie down.
But after so long, Lin Tian’s ambition to buy Gu Maner also reached the ears of the real owner.
“To buy our Miss Maner, it depends on whether you can write a poem that beats everyone present, and then discuss it with Miss Maner!” The old female procuress said loudly, smiling like a chrysanthemum.
She naturally knew the extent of Lin Tian’s prodigal.
“Then let’s wait and see!”
Lin Tian agreed without hesitation.
At this time, not far away, Qin Wangshu frowned and clutched the handkerchief in his hand tightly, staring at Lin Tian’s sitting posture as if he had no bones.
“Didn’t Sister Shuer break off the engagement with that waste? If you are unhappy with him, just turn a blind eye to him.” Ouyang Haowen looked over in the direction of Qin Wangshu’s gaze and said with some disdain.
He had liked Qin Wangshu for a long time, and the two of them got along well. When he was about to tell his family that he wanted to propose marriage, he learned that Qin Wangshu had been betrothed to Lin Tian long ago!
Who is Lin Tian? A waste and a prodigal son known to everyone!
Qin Wangshu is the most talented woman, with a stunning appearance, and is proficient in everything from playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting!
The two of them are worlds apart at a glance. How could he tolerate Qin Wangshu marrying a waste like Lin Tian!
Fortunately, Qin Wangshu himself was also dissatisfied with Lin Tian, and soon took the initiative to ask for a divorce.
“Let’s go.” Qin Wangshu turned and left.
“I declare that this lake tour poetry meeting is officially open. Please bring your works here. We will select ten pieces according to the vote and hand them over to Miss Maner for selection.” The
lake tour poetry meeting officially began.
The rules are actually very simple. There is no limit to the theme of the poem. Just write it and give it to the book boy.
The book boy will hang all the poems on the banner. The banner with the most support should be the best.
And the top ten will be selected by Gu Maner.
“It’s just a woman, why make such a fuss?”
Lin Tian drank a glass of wine and smacked his lips.
The wine here is really bland, and he misses the modern old Maotai.
Recalling the lingering taste of Maotai, Lin Tian couldn’t help but close his eyes and enjoy it.
Maybe he could learn to make wine by himself?
Many people around him have already written poems, and some even took out their own prepared poems and copied them.
