What a generous deal. There was an old saying: Words were precious. Especially masters who have achieved extremely high attainments in calligraphy would rather burn their works than give them away to others easily.Only when you meet a confidant. Only people with similar interests could be recognized by the master. Don’t laugh at someone sleeping drunk on the battlefield. How many men have ever returned from the battles in history?The reason why Irving wrote this calligraphy was to praise Lindsey, a brave and patriotic soldier.Lindsey held the calligraphy in her hand and said with great joy: "I am so sorry. It is a masterpiece that has been passed down through the ages. I only happened to get a piece of it. What more can I ask for?"Everyone came forward to congratulate: "Congratulations, Mister Lindsey, for winning this calligraphy."Lindsey stroked his beard and smiled, "This is not good. It is better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. I plan to donate it to th
Outside the gate.An old man in a blue suit and wearing reading glasses walked slowly into the hall, exuding the elegant temperament of an old scholar from the late Civil war and early Reconnaissance America.This person was none other than the current president of the National Calligraphy Association—Charles Moore.Charles Moore came over with his hands behind his back, glared at Farrell coldly, and then spoke in a cold voice."We recently received a report that you were performing so-called 'inkjet calligraphy' with a syringe pen, which had an extremely bad impact on society and greatly damaged the reputation of our calligraphy community. After several days of discussion, we have decided to cancel your membership. In addition, all calligraphers have issued a joint statement to severely criticize the outside world and put an end to such incidents in the future! Don't even think about gaining a foothold in the calligraphy world!"Bang!Farrell bumped into the table and yelled like cr
"What's wrong?" Irving put down the teacup and asked in a low voice."Nothing, excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom." Linda left his seat in a panic and walked out in a hurry."What happened to Madam Smiths?"Zuri and Sophie looked at each other, not daring to speculate further.Irving didn't say anything. He took the card on the rose and looked at it. He saw a message written in thin, strong and clear font on it: Linda, you are still as beautiful as ever, and nothing has changed.It was not specified who it was. Looking at the unique handwriting, Irving guessed that Linda should have recognized who wrote it, which was why he had such a big reaction. Could it be him?Thinking of Linda's bewildered behavior and loss of composure, Irving couldn't help but feel a little sad, as if his heart was being grabbed. If he and Linda were not husband and wife, perhaps it would be better. But he quickly calmed down.Was he finally coming? Irving raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smil
She cried. Irving guessed in his heart, and at the same time, his hostility towards the man deepened."Excuse me." Linda apologized to everyone present for his previous misconduct.When she caught a glimpse of the roses on the table, perhaps remembering the unbearable past, she suddenly grabbed them with a cold expression and tried to throw them away.Unexpectedly, Irving grabbed her wrist. Linda frowned and looked at Irving in confusion."You can throw away the flowers, but the problem remains. Many things cannot be solved by escaping."Upon hearing this, Linda lowered her brows and remained silent.Irving took the flower from her hand and said softly, "No matter what happens, I will be with you. From now on, no one can hurt you."Linda's body trembled slightly, his eyes turned red, and he seemed to want to say something but stopped.When Zuri saw that the situation had eased, he immediately raised his glass and shouted, "Don't just sit there, let's toast to Mister Smiths and his wif
"Luke Robinson came to New York City this time, not only to attend the banquet held by the Linderman family, but also to meet Linda.Therefore, before he came, he had already obtained all the information about Linda. He never expected that Linda was already married. It was said that she married a fool. It was like a flower stuck in cow dung!Luke Robinson knew that Irving was a loser who only knew how to live off his wife, so he asked directly, "Mr. Smiths, you are so lucky to marry Linda! Linda and I both graduated from Ivy League universities. I wonder which university you graduated from?"“I didn’t go to any fancy college.” Irving answered straightforwardly. In his previous life, he either learned from an individual or was self-taught. But in this life, he went to local state college."Oh! No way, Linda is the campus belle of our university. I didn't expect her to marry someone like you, ahem..." Luke Robinson pretended to be embarrassed and smiled, and hurriedly explained, "I didn'
Some people in the hall who knew more about the situation secretly estimated it.The jewelry this woman was wearing was worth at least several million. Her facial features were also very good, not inferior to some popular female stars, but in front of Linda, she loses a little bit of her independent temperament."Husband, why are you here so early in the morning? Why didn't you wait for me?"The woman hit Luke Robinson coquettishly, with a hint of resentment in her tone."Excuse me, honey! Come over here and meet my old classmate." Luke Robinson put his arm around the woman's waist and said to Linda in a haughty manner, "Linda, this is my wife, Lucy, the daughter of the Mayor of Nebraska."Luke Robinson couldn't help feeling complacent, even a little arrogant, as if he was showing off to Linda. Look what you married. Look at how noble the person I married was.Linda lowered her head, and the unbearable past that had been suppressed for so long gradually emerged before her eyes. The sw
"You little bastard, do you have the guts to say that again?"Luke pointed at Irving.The muscles on his face were trembling violently, his eyes were wide open, and an uncontrollable rage burst out.Irving's face was indifferent, and he slowly said "Are you two peasants done talking?""You bastard, you are so bold. Do you know that we are..."Luke hadn't finished speaking yet when he was Interrupted instantly.With a snapping kick, Luke's entire body flew out, accompanied by a shrill scream, and slid three or four meters on the clean floor before stopping.Wherever he passed, tables and chairs were overturned and guests hurriedly avoided him.“Ouch!” Luke covered the left side of his face, which was already red and swollen, with five clearly visible finger marks."Damn it! How dare you hit me!"The yelling was interrupted with another snapping slap. Luke's right cheek was hit hard, and five bright red fingerprints appeared on it.It turned out that it was Irving who took action.Seein
Stone gambling. This was a term in the jewelry industry, but in fact it was a way of trading gemstone raw stones. It is popular in the Canada border area and has a gambling nature.When gemstone was mined, it was covered with a layer of weathered skin. The quality of the gemstone cannot be seen with the naked eye and could only be known after it was cut.People who are proficient in this were called stone gamblers. Any famous stone gambler has three necessary conditions. One was extremely high technology. The second was an adventurous spirit that goes beyond ordinary people. The third was rich experience.There was a saying in the gambling stone circle that had been passed down to this day.One cut could make you poor, one cut could make you rich.Because the process of cutting raw stones is indescribably stimulating and exciting.One cut.You may become rich overnight and rise to the top.One cut.You may lose everything you own and become nothing but a loser.Summer, 1898.An Americ
