Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 363: Critic Jin Zitan, many courtesans!
As far as Chen Yong knew, Xie Guan was not having an easy time in the Xie family. One could tell from the way he dressed that the material of his clothes was not expensive, and four million taels was probably something he had never seen before.

but!

Xie Guan's eyes just now seemed to show that he didn't care at all.

A thousand gold is not worth it!
After Chen Yong took over the gold and silver from Xie Guan, he felt a little lost. Was this the right decision?
Although he intended to protect Xie Guan in front of Chen Mu, he finally chose to remain silent in front of the Second Prince Chen Feng and Prince Yan.

Chen Yong's cautious character over the years made him believe that Xie Guan was not worth it for him to anger his two royal brothers at this time.

Xie Guan said this to repay his favor with four hundred taels.

We don’t owe each other anything!

Chen Yong calmed down, weighed the box of banknotes and said, "Master Guan, he is a wonderful person."

"This kind of gold and silver is just passed through my hands and I have to give it away."

He looked at Chen Mu again and said with a smile: "Thirteenth brother, the horse farm on Yulong Street is yours."

Chen Mu's ugly face finally showed some joy.

With the horse farm, the precious horses in the mansion now have a place to stay.

"Eleventh brother, I will definitely invite you to be my guest when the horse race is held in my mansion."

Chen Yong just smiled.

It seemed to be a transaction that benefited both parties. Chen Mu got the horse farm and he got four hundred taels of gold and silver.

In fact, he still made a profit of 400 taels.

Now that Su Shishi has bought the poems and paintings, this just-right large sum of money has finally silenced all unspoken criticisms.

Let’s leave it at that!

Chen Mu looked at Xie Guan, his face becoming a little colder, and prepared to leave.

However, he still said sarcastically: "Xie Guan, it's rare to find a sponsor as generous as Fairy Su."

"Otherwise, what is the value of your painting?"

"One of the fine horses in this palace is enough for you to paint thousands of pictures."

After hearing this, Yu Ke ignored it.

Just then!
An old, hoarse voice sounded.

"valuable!"

"How can it be worthless? It's worth a fortune."

Li Xiangjun smiled and recognized who was speaking.

Feng Yaya and Zhou Yuner looked at each other and smiled slightly.

A short old man with a wine-red nose squeezed out of the crowd with great effort, shouting as he squeezed.

"Make way, old man, let me pass."

The old man was wearing a Confucian robe, but his clothes were disheveled and his hair was messy, as if he had just stumbled out of a tavern.

However, his eyes were bright.

He ignored powerful figures like the Second Prince and Prince of Yan, and took two steps at a time and went straight to Xie Guan.

This action surprised everyone around and they all looked at him curiously.

Chen Feng recognized the old man at a glance. He was a celebrity in the West Wing and also a member of the academy.

The old man didn't seem to care about the looks of the people around him. He straightened his Confucian robe and said respectfully to Xie Guan:

"This is Master Guan, right?"

"I am Jin Zitan, an old man. Nice to meet you, Master Guan."

When Yu Ke heard the name, he was slightly stunned.

This name had appeared many times in the simulation. He tried hard to recall Xie Guan's memory and finally remembered the identity of this old man.

Jin Zitan was a famous critic in Bianjing. He was the one who compiled the Eighteen Famous People of Bianjing in The West Wing.

He was a frequent visitor to the West Wing. Even without any money, countless women were willing to open their beds for him, just to get a word of praise from him.

Hu Yunniang, the last year's most beautiful courtesan, won the title of the most beautiful courtesan because of a comment from Jin Zitan:

"Yunniang could play the zither at the age of eight, and the spring breeze blew down the sound of the sky. One sound from Yongmen brought tears to her eyelashes, two sounds revealed the red carp's mane, and three sounds revealed the white ape's arms and cheeks."

Only then did she become famous and won the title of the most beautiful courtesan in Yuehuaxuan.

Xie Ling, Xie Guan's father, also became famous because of Jin Zitan's reputation: "The first storm of the Nine Dukes, a hero in peacetime, and a hero in troubled times." Li Xiangjun also introduced him at the right time: "Master Guan, this is Mr. Jin."

Jin Zitan grinned, "Thanks to the kindness of the two girls, I actually know this old man."

Many of the courtesans in the West Wing were quite familiar with the old man Jin Zitan.

Although he had an eccentric personality and behaved unconventionally, he never bullied women. Instead, he was happy to help prostitutes compose music and lyrics.

Therefore, he had a very good reputation in the West Wing.

Jin Zitan is a person who does not covet wealth and is not afraid of power.

He once commented on Prime Minister Su, "He has the ability to support the country and calm the chaotic times, but when faced with major events, he makes more plans than decisions."

Because of this incident, he was taken to Tianlao Prison by Su Guanxiang and forced to rewrite it.

Jin Zitan refused to change his words even if he died, and even shouted, "If I'm afraid of life and death, why do I have a mouth?"

Finally, Su Xiang had no choice but to release him.

Mr. San also praised him for having a "pure heart."

and!

Jin Zitan's reputation has a huge influence. Even people from the nine major surnames dare not offend him for fear of being disparaged.

In addition, he himself was a member of the academy. He studied in the academy in his early years and later became a Jinshi with the first place in the imperial examination.

Chen Ting also smiled and greeted him warmly, "Mr. Jin, why are you here?"

He had a special "respect" for Jin Zitan, and he knew very well that Jin Zitan's reputation could cause a stir among the scholars.

However, Jin Zitan turned a deaf ear to the King of Yan's goodwill.

"Who just said that Master Guan's paintings are worthless? I am the first one to disagree with this statement."

"I had no intention of interjecting into what happened just now, but when I saw Master Guan giving away four million taels of gold and silver with a wave of his hand, I was filled with emotion."

"I know very well that in Master Guan's heart, these gold and silver are just external possessions and are not worth mentioning."

"It is true that the passage of time cannot be described in ink and color, and wealth is like light smoke to me."

Chen Mu looked embarrassed after hearing this.

Yu Ke also said, "Hello, Mr. Jin."

"Ah...I can't bear the title of old gentleman from Master Guan."

Jin Zi sighed and coughed lightly, and said with a little embarrassment: "I am shameless and want to see a painting given by you, but I am short of money..."

This was true. Although he was naturally carefree, he refused to accept any silver presented by many women in the West Wing.

Upon hearing this, Yu Ke was slightly stunned, and then readily agreed.

After all, there are only benefits and no disadvantages in making friends with "Xie Guan" and Jin Zitan.

Jin Zitan's eyes sparkled, and he looked at Su Shishi and said quickly: "Fairy Su, don't blame me. You spent four million taels, and this old man only relied on his mouth."

Su Shishi said indifferently: "Mr. Jin, Shishi is sincere in asking for a painting, so it is different."

Jin Zitan then smiled and gave a thumbs up, saying, "Fairy Su, you are indeed the best among flowers."

Jin Zitan naturally also commented on Su Shishi.

"This woman should only exist in heaven."

Chen Mu did not dare to mock Xie Guan anymore. After all, Jin Zitan was here. If he were to accuse him of being "disrespectful to students", the reputation he had worked so hard to build up in Bian Jing would probably be lost.

Jin Zi sighed and looked at Xie Guan, then laughed and said, "Since you have agreed, I will go to Xie's house to pay a visit in a few days."

The words just fell!

Jin Zitan noticed that there seemed to be something strange about the people around him.

at this time!

The crowd automatically parted and everyone looked over involuntarily.

It turned out to be several courtesans who had just appeared on the stage walking towards them.

Among them, Lady Gongsun, dressed in red silk, had a heroic look between her brows.

The one with a dignified and elegant temperament is Yun Wan, the courtesan of Yuehuaxuan.

There were also two women walking together, Hu Yunniang and Chenxiang.
