Chapter 344: Chapter Three Hundred and Forty: The Scholar’s Transformation

“Old Bai? WeiYa Cottage?” Tang Luo was a little taken aback, because he really found it hard to connect these two things.

Due to his responsibility of supporting orphans, Mi Bai had always been in a tight economic situation. Although his painting stall has received great acclaim since it opened, it still needs time to ferment. At this stage, his monthly income won’t exceed 50 g°ld coins.

But WeiYa Cottage, as the representative of mid-range restaurants in Xihng, would cost over a dozen gold coins for a meal. This would equate to his monthly income. Even Xu LaoYing was his recognized good friend, Tang Luo didn’t think Mi Bai would host such a banquet.

in Mi Bai’s heart, the children were always the most important. He wouldn’t let the kids go hungry in order to treat Xu LaoYing to a meal. If he were to host dinner, it would be at his house. Considering this, Mi Bai must have had a change in circumstances over the past two months. Tang Luo turned to Xu LaoYing and asked, “Has Old Bai come into some wealth?”

“Ahahaha!” Xu LaoYing laughed loudly, as if something amusing had happened. “You don’t know, do you? Old Bai is really popular now!” “Popular? What kind of popular?” Tang Luo asked curiously.

“DO you remember that auction official we met at the auction house, Xiao Zheng? He stopped by Mi Bai’s stall, bought a piece of calligraphy, praised it, and now Old Bai’s calligraphy and painting stall has become really popular. Every day all his works are sold out!” Xu LaoYing said proudly. He has always believed that Mi Bai’s calligraphy and paintings had surpassed those of the royal court, but the people of Xiling seemed indifferent. However, just a single compliment from auction official Xiao Zheng drew numerous people to buy Mi Bai’s work, making his step closer to becoming a grand calligrapher which filled him with joy.

Upon hearing Xiao Zheng’s name, Tang Luo nodded his head as if he understood.

If it was him, then it was not surprising.
