Chapter 356
Everyone has his or her own life. Don’t interfere too much in other people’s lives. Your kind words may seem to help others avoid disaster, but in fact they are making them lose an opportunity to realize and change.
Sometimes the misfortunes you encounter are not bad luck, but opportunities given by God to understand the truth and change your life.
Some people have realized the truth and have since turned their lives around and changed their ways.
Some people, faced with frustration, fail to realize the truth and give up on themselves, becoming depressed.
Xuanmen has its own rules and does not actively interfere in other people's affairs.
Unless he asks for it.
Zhang Jingyuan knew that the people in the Xuanmen sect were the most ruthless in judging marriages, so she wanted to ask about her and Bo Ji.
Just as she was about to open her mouth, she saw Bo Ji talking and laughing with a beautiful girl on a path not far away.
Zhang Jingyuan's face instantly turned ugly. She stood up and strode forward without caring that Jin Chaochao was present.
"Bo Ji, what are you talking about?" She stood between the two of them with a fake smile.
The girl who was smiling just now lowered her head, picked up her skirt and ran away quickly.
Everyone knows that Zhang Jingyuan likes Bo Ji.
If a female mosquito flirts with him, she will get slapped in the face.
While accepting Zhang Jingyuan's flattery, Bo Ji declared to the outside world that he only had brotherly and sisterly feelings for Zhang Jingyuan.
He even publicly stated that he wanted to pursue Bai Zhi as his wife.
"Jingyuan, you scared everyone away. If you continue like this, I won't be able to find a wife in the future." Bo Ji tugged at the corner of his suit, looking sanctimonious.
Zhang Jingyuan snorted coldly, "You know I like you, but you still hang out with other girls. Bo Ji, don't go too far."
Bo Ji's face was full of seriousness. "There is no possibility for you and me. Everyone knows it. Even if you are willing to get married, your grandfather and parents will not agree. What's more, I really just treat you as a sister."
"I don't care, I just like you. If my grandfather doesn't agree, you can find a way to make them agree." Zhang Jingyuan said in a domineering tone.
Bo Ji straightened his back and pretended to be helpless. "You, I can't do anything to you. Jingyuan, you are not a child anymore, don't be so willful."
Zhang Jingyuan was furious, "How am I willful? I just like you. Bo Ji, you are so heartless."
"Okay, okay, little ancestor. I'll try my best. If I can win first place in this appreciation meeting and win your grandfather's appreciation, I will reconsider our relationship."
Zhang Jingyuan was comforted instantly, showing the shy attitude of a little girl, "That's better."
Jin Chaochao watched from a distance and raised his big hands to cover his face.
It's too shameful to watch!
About an hour later, Zhang Weiming received the appraisal results of today's appreciation meeting.
He looked at the list in the statistician's hand, and the first name was Si Mingye.
At this time Jin Chaochao just happened to walk over.
"Mr. Zhang, has the first prize of today's appreciation meeting been announced?" Jin Chaochao asked with a smile.
Zhang Weiming's eyes fell on Si Mingye who was beside her. "Ms. Jin, are you sure you didn't leak any information to anyone around you?"
Jin Chaochao was puzzled. "Never. There's no need for me to lie about this kind of thing."
Zhang Weiming handed the list in his hand to Jin Chaochao, "Take a look, I didn't expect that the little kid next to you has such a good eye."
Si Mingye came close to Jin Chaochao and stretched his neck to look, "Wow, I got first place. Sister, I am so awesome."
Jin Chaochao looked at Si Mingye's joyful expression, frowned, and cast a serious gaze on him, "Tell me the truth, is this the result of your own independent appraisal?"
Si Mingye pouted, looking guilty, and said nothing.
At this time, Bo Ji heard the noise and walked over. When he saw that the first person on the list was Si Mingye, he became very nervous.
"Grandpa Zhang, this kid cheated. He must have plagiarized from me. Look at what he chose, it's very similar to what I chose." Bo Ji's eyes were gloomy.
Although Jin Chaochao is a distinguished guest of the Zhang family, she cannot snatch the first place from him.
Not to mention that the first place winner will get three antiques, even the fame and fortune he gained today are enough to keep him in Xiang City for many years.
He brought Bo Ling here today so he can’t make things difficult for others.
At this time, the list has only been compiled and has not yet been announced.
The commotion here attracted a lot of people to watch.
Jin Chaochao looked at Si Mingye with dignity and asked, "Did you copy his work?"
Si Mingye snorted coldly, crossed his arms, glared at Bo Ji, and said with disdain, "I didn't copy him. This blue and white porcelain vase was chosen by Bo Ling. And this silver and jade jewelry box was also chosen by Bo Ling. Why can he monopolize other people's appraisal results? Why can't I?"
"You... are talking nonsense. This is clearly the result of my own appraisal." Bo Ji was angry, his face flushed, and he was also very flustered.
Only he and Bo Ling knew about this. How did this little brat know about it?
Could it be that Bo Ling told him?
Very good! This Bo Ling actually dared to plot against him behind his back.
Si Mingye looked at Jin Chaochao and raised four fingers to swear, "Sister, I promise. I chose this painting myself. I don't understand painting, but I felt that the style of this painting was very similar to the one in our library, so I chose this one. As for the other two, I did choose them because I overheard Bo Ling and Bo Ji talking."
Old Master Zhang flipped through the statistical data submitted by Si Mingye.
The painting he chose was an authentic work by Wang Wei, because very few of them have been handed down.
Therefore, most people cannot recognize this painting at all. Even if they see it, they dare not confirm that it is an authentic work.
Mr. Zhang suddenly laughed out loud, "Hahaha! Good, good, good, you are worthy of being the little boy next to Miss Jin. This child has good eyesight. The fact that he can choose this one among hundreds of paintings is enough to show that he has a strong observation ability. Based on this point alone, it is fair to give you the first prize."
Because the value of this painting has surpassed the total value of all the authentic works on site.
Mr. Zhang led everyone to Wang Wei's painting. Jin Chaochao looked at Si Mingye in surprise, "This painting is indeed similar to the one at home. You can actually recognize it. I underestimated you."
Si Mingye chuckled, "Sister, I told you, I won't embarrass you."
Seeing that everyone was admiring the painting, Bo Ji became very anxious, "Grandpa Zhang, is the painting I chose an authentic one?"
Zhang Weiming didn't like the frivolousness in Bo Ji. He didn't feel comfortable watching him like a child.
He flipped open Zhang Weiming's appraisal report, then walked up to the painting and said, "This is an authentic work by Mr. Qi, but it has been damaged and has signs of restoration. In terms of value, this painting is far inferior to Wang Wei's authentic work."
Bo Ji frowned, "Grandpa Zhang, Si Mingye stole my appraisal, blue and white porcelain and silver-inlaid jade jewelry box, they shouldn't be counted as his achievements."
Zhang Weiming immediately reacted when he heard him mention it, "Just now Si Mingye said that he copied Bo Ling's appraisal, and now you say he copied yours. Who copied whose?"
Si Mingye walked forward fearlessly and said with a smile: "To be precise, Bo Ji and I copied Bo Ling's appraisal together... No... Bo Ji didn't know how to do an appraisal at all, so he relied on Bo Ling's help."
