Chapter 14 Spring Dream Leaves No Traces

  In a mansion in Luoyang's wealthy district, Wei Du was discussing matters with an elderly man of similar age to him.

  This old man looks like he should be older than Weidu, with a seven-point resemblance in appearance, and his eyes are full of cleverness.

  "Big brother, these are the two paintings I bought for six thousand gold," he said, taking out the two RMB notes that Chen Chu had sold to him from his pocket and carefully placing them on the table in front of the other person. Wei Du called this person big brother, and with their similar appearance, it was clear that they were brothers by blood.

  This old man is called Wei Wen, he is the father of Wei Hong, the elder brother of Wei Du, and the current master of the Wei family.

  As soon as Wei Wen saw the two banknotes, his eyes lit up and he carefully examined them on the table. His expression became more and more surprised and excited. After a while, Wei Wen finally looked up at Wei Du with a look of astonishment and said: "Some time ago, I received a letter from my second brother, and at that time, I was wondering what kind of treasure could be worth 6,000 taels of gold? Today, I see it, and I realize that the world's treasures are indeed endless!"

  Wei Du smiled and said, "So, big brother, do you think these two paintings are worth six thousand gold?"

  "Wei Wen nodded immediately and said, 'It's worth it! Absolutely worth it! The composition and brushwork of these two paintings are unprecedented and unheard of! The portrait on top has a rich texture, vivid and lifelike, its exquisite craftsmanship far surpasses all the famous calligraphy and painting treasures I've ever seen! I can assure you, brother, if these two paintings were sold to a wealthy family, they would fetch at least a price of ten thousand gold!"

  Wei Du nodded his head, he had also predicted this.

  Wei Wen couldn't help but admire the two 100-yuan bills, and then he found that these two 100-yuan bills were exactly the same without any difference! This surprised him for a while.

  "By the way, what do these two circles and a vertical line on these two paintings mean? I think I'm quite knowledgeable, but I have no idea." Wei Wen asked curiously, pointing to the Arabic numeral 100 on the RMB.

  Wei Du was stunned immediately, he didn't know what it meant either. He originally wanted to ask Chen Chu about it, but for various reasons, he never got a chance to bring up the question.

  Wei Du smiled awkwardly and said: "To be honest, I'm embarrassed, but I don't know what this means either?"

  "Oh? Didn't Second Brother ask that vendor? Or perhaps the vendor himself didn't know?" Wei Wen asked with some curiosity.

  "My younger brother hasn't had a chance to ask yet. However, the owner of the goods also came to Luoyang with my younger brother. If big brother is interested, I can ask him at any time. It's just that I don't know if he knows the meaning of these symbols."

  "Wei Wen nodded and said, 'Then let's go ask. It would be best if we could figure out what these symbols mean. If the buyer asks about it and we don't know, that would be very bad.'"

  Wei nodded slightly to show he understood.

  Wei Wen suddenly remembered something and asked: "Right, I heard that Second Brother and the owner who sold these two paintings are on familiar terms with each other, is this true?"

  Wei Du smiled and replied affirmatively: "Yes, it's true."

  Wei Wen suddenly showed a strange expression and asked, "Second brother's vision is usually high, this person has won second brother's favor, compared to also be an extraordinary figure."

  He stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment, then said: "This person is young, but his words and demeanor are extraordinary, and he has great ambitions. His future achievements will not be trivial."

  "Oh? Since Second Brother said so, this person must be extraordinary. Second Brother helped him recruit refugees and buy grain, probably because he saw something in him."

  Wei Du smiled and nodded slightly.

  ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

  "Wenji, lift your butt a bit higher, that's it, just like that, let brother love you well!" Chen Chu excitedly caressed Cai Wenji's snowy and seductive buttocks, eagerly mounting his gun and starting to work hard.

  Tsai Wen-chi batted her charming and flirtatious eyes, occasionally turning back to throw out a string of enchanting glances that made one's blood boil.

  Chen Chu's energy suddenly became more abundant, panting heavily, his movements becoming increasingly rough.

  Just then, two more beauties suddenly appeared.

  One wore a pink gauze, the other a purple gauze. Their figures were slender and charming, especially the twin peaks on their chests, proudly rising into the clouds, making one want to climb up at first sight. Unfortunately, no matter how hard Chen Chu tried, he couldn't see the faces of these two beauties clearly, just like the goddesses of the Wu Mountains, who seemed to appear and disappear in the mist.

  However, Chen Chu strangely called out their names.

  "Cicada, Xiangxiang, you're here too. That's great! Brother will spoil you well today!", Chen Chu was extremely excited at this time.

  Just as Chen Chu was about to make a big move, a deafening roar suddenly shook the sky. Immediately, the three beauties who were smiling at him disappeared, and then Chen Chu felt like he had been thrown down from the clouds, followed by a blackout.

  A wave of pain hit, and Chen Chu dazedly opened his eyes. He looked around in a daze, only to find himself still inside the inn, lying on the floor beside the bed. Chen Chu immediately came to his senses, realizing that everything earlier was just a spring dream.

  Just then, the thunderous knocking sound rang out again, and Chen Chu suddenly burst into flames. Damn it, if it weren't for this hateful knocking sound, he might have already... the three beauties.

  How hateful! Chen Chu got up with a sudden movement and walked towards the door with a fierce momentum.
