I am a winner with Chinese poetry

Yes, Gu Yunzhou was not prepared to exchange this "Pipa Xing" with anyone. The first two times he gave it to his mentor was to give it to his mentor, and the other time was to pay for his mother's medical treatment. If he used poetry as a bargaining chip again and again, he would probably be despised over time.

Moreover, he had no intention of gaining any benefits from this. After all, these were precious treasures left by his ancestors. He just wanted to restore them one by one in the Tianxing Continent at the appropriate time and did not want to be tied to any transaction.

"Wow, it's quite lively, everyone is here!" This time, a middle-aged dude walked in with a group of people. He was teasing a bird with unusually bright feathers perched on his arm with one hand, while greeting a few people in a nonchalant manner.

"Qi Junshan, you have a sharp ear. Didn't you say you were going to inspect the next county?" Wei Yuan greeted the visitor with a smile, and it was obvious that they had a good private relationship.

"Don't mention it. I was about to leave when someone called me back. Mr. Gu, just name a price. After I'm done here, I have to go to the next county to settle accounts with those bastards!" Qi Junshan walked to the front of the stage with a smile, sat down with his legs spread out, and began to urge.

"Seventh Uncle, Yunzhou hasn't said he wants to exchange yet!" Qi Heng trotted over to Qi Junshan and spoke. His voice was not loud, but to those present who were not Confucian scholars with literary aura, the voice was no different from what they heard.

"Ah?" Qi Junshan looked at Gu Yunzhou with a puzzled look. He was hurriedly called over by the servant and only heard a general idea. He knew that the young man had a rare poem in his hand and the clan had given a death order that they must fight for it. So he subconsciously thought that the other party wanted to exchange it. Now it seems that the owner has not agreed yet, but they, the buyers, are impatient to bid. What a mistake. It must be that the sun is too strong today and made him dizzy, otherwise he would not make such a low-level mistake.

Qi Junshan's hand, which was stroking the bird's feathers, froze for a moment. He coughed and changed the subject nonchalantly, "Gu Xiaoyou, our Qi family sincerely wants to exchange your poems. You see, you and my Ah Heng are friends, so we're family. It's almost noon now, why don't we go to your house for dinner and then discuss it in detail!"

"That's just being unfair of you. When you're having a meal with someone, you have to follow the first-come-first-served principle. Young friend Yunzhou came to visit my Wei Yu today, so if you want to go, you should go to my house!" Wei Yuan, with a friendly face, also came out at this time. Although they have a good relationship, when it comes to family interests, everyone still has to rely on their own abilities.

"What do you think, Mr. Gu?" Wei Yuan turned around and threw the topic directly to Gu Yunzhou. Now everyone stopped arguing and looked at Gu Yunzhou with burning eyes.

"Thank you all for your kindness, seniors. However, this "Pipa Xing" is my treasured possession, and I have no intention of selling or exchanging it!" Gu Yunzhou's face was warm, but his words revealed an unwavering and resolute spirit that left no room for maneuver, like a basin of cold water poured over their heads, instantly extinguishing the glimmer of hope that had just ignited in everyone's hearts.

"Gu Xiaoyou, don't make such a hasty decision. We can discuss the price more slowly!" Qin Fang, unable to contain his inner anxiety any longer, spoke first. Back then, he had a son who was exceptionally gifted and had shown extraordinary abilities since childhood. His career had been smooth sailing, attracting the attention of the entire Qin family and being considered the future pillar of the family.

But such a gifted child suffered a severe setback when he was in his twenties - the woman he loved did not choose to be with him for life, but instead fell into the arms of another man who was far inferior to him in terms of family background and status.

Such a sudden and huge change dealt a heavy blow to his beloved son, and even brought the Wen Palace to ruin. In just one night, the Wen Palace was almost dry, and from then on it became sluggish and ruined.

Over the years, he has always been depressed and gloomy, and has long since fallen from being the leader of the next generation of the Qin family to being lost among the common people. In fact, Qin Fang has tried various methods, but the results have been minimal.

When he sees this "Pipa Xing" now, it is like a person on the verge of despair suddenly seeing a life-saving straw. How can he let go easily?

"Okay, Old Man Qin, this guy clearly doesn't want to make this deal with you. Are you planning to bully him and force the deal?" Li Youyou frowned and looked at Qin Fang. The Qin and Li families had always had a close relationship, so Li Youyou was well aware of Qin Fang's current situation.

On the one hand, this was a reminder, and on the other hand, it was a test to see what Gu Yunzhou's attitude was.

"Well, to be honest, my friend, it's not that I'm ungrateful or unreasonable, but I'm truly desperate! Back then, after my child suffered a severe injury, his literary palace was obscured by dust. He never recovered from the blow and was always gloomy and unhappy."

"As a father, I am also helpless! I even gave him the extremely precious Qingxin Grass, but there is still no improvement. That's why I am so presumptuous to ask you to exchange treasures with me today!" Qin Fang sighed heavily, his face full of helplessness, and slowly recounted this sad story.

"Senior Qin, please don't worry. Since things have come to this, how about this? I will lend you this "Pipa Xing" for the time being, and let your son read it first. After he finishes reading it, he can return it to me." Gu Yunzhou sighed, pitiful for the love of parents in the world. As he spoke, he handed the piece of paper that had just been written and was filled with the fragrance of ink to Qin Fang.

"This... this is so much for you, my friend! I am deeply grateful and thank you for your kindness and righteousness! After I finish reading it, I will return this poem to you immediately!"

Qin Fang's originally dull face instantly glowed with brilliance, his excited voice trembled a little, and he quickly bowed deeply to Gu Yunzhou to express his sincere gratitude.

However, at this moment, a discordant voice suddenly sounded: "Uncle Qin, aren't you worried that taking something written by a person who is seeking fame and reputation but not substance will defile Brother Qin's literary palace if you take it back?" The speaker's tone was full of disdain and contempt, and it was obvious that he had a prejudice against Gu Yunzhou.

The person who spoke was a handsome young man, who walked slowly towards them, protected by a large group of servants. Behind him followed a young man who was also wearing a brocade robe. Gu Yunzhou felt that the man looked strangely familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
