Chapter 207 Read Enough Books
"The pure Kalimantan is fragrant, full-bodied, and slightly sour. You can smell it in your hand. Your hand string is only incense wood, not incense."
Leon Williams knew very well that this is a word game played at auction, which specializes in bullying honest people with stupid money. It's just that Leon Williams saved Donald Brown some face and doesn't want to say it directly.
"What nonsense! What's the difference between the two? Isn't it all Agarwood Bracelet?" Donald Brown asked with a sneer.
In the eyes of Donald Brown, Leon Williams is a disgrace. It is obviously incense, and it has to be literal.
"Incense wood and incense are two kinds of things. To put it more popularly, before the incense tree forms oil, it is just a general tree of the family Daphneaceae. After forming oil, the oil part is called incense, while the wood fiber part without oil is called incense wood. Agarwood is not a kind of wood, but a kind of solid condensate produced by a special kind of incense tree, which is mixed with resin and wood. "
"Both Aquilaria Sinensis and Agarwood can be used to carve Buddha statues, make rosary beads, make incense, prepare traditional medicine, and so on. Although the two are closely related, there is a great gap between them."
Leon Williams meant that the incense wood in general, but the incense is very precious. Just looking at the formation process of the incense wood, it is not comparable to the incense wood.
At the moment, both Donald Brown and Betty Brown had a look on their faces, and their hearts could not be at peace for a long time.
The two of them finally realized that it was not Leon Williams at all, but Aquilaria Sinensis and Agarwood, which were indeed two different kinds of things.
With an embarrassed look on his face, Donald Brown realized that he had made a mistake that made the outsiders laugh, but so what? He was one of the four elders and came from a scholarly family, how could he admit that he was wrong.
What's more, he was facing a junior with low status.
"You don't know anything about the culture of literary circles. I bought incense wood!" Donald Brown's face turned to seriousness.
"Impressive. Buy an Agar wooden hand string for 5 million." Leon Williams smiled.
How can Agarwood be compared with Aquilaria Sinensis? It is like comparing ordinary stone with jade.
Leon Williams has left leeway for Donald Brown. In fact, Donald Brown was put up by the auction, no matter what auction, is to make money for the purpose.
"You are a poor man. How can you understand the culture of literary circles and antiques? Play is fun, it is measured by money, you are vulgar!"
Instead of admitting his mistake, Donald Brown looked down on Leon Williams.
The treatment of this kind of skin is thicker than the city wall, for the disrespectful old man, Leon Williams decided not to give him any more humiliation.
"What about being a poor man? It's better than pretending to know something. If you've been tricked by the auction and won't admit it, you can brazenly say that what you're playing is fun. Agarwood is worth less than 1% dollars. You give money to the auction. Is that your pleasure?" Leon Williams thought it was funny.
This is the so-called scholarly family, this is the so-called boss!
Extremely hypocritical!
Leon Williams's words really embarrassed Donald Brown, and there was no reason for him to refute them.
He blushed and wanted to find a crack to get in.
Donald Brown never thought, that. He originally intended to embarrass Leon Williams but was strongly counterattacked by Leon Williams. He did not expect Leon Williams to know more about Aquilaria Sinensis.
At this time, Betty Brown looked at Leon Williams solemnly.
In her understanding, Leon Williams is the first person to make her grandfather feel depressed, especially in the study of literary games. Her grandfather, who claimed to be rich in learning became speechless.
Is Leon Williams a senior expert in antique circles? Even if he has this skill, he won't go so far as to collect junk.
Betty Brown thought there is another possibility. Maybe Leon Williams just happened to read Leon Williams's professional materials, which just came in handy today.
"Leon Williams, at least my grandfather is a respected boss. Even if he makes occasional mistakes, there is no need to throw himself at the bottom of a well like this. Don't be complacent. My grandfather is so knowledgeable that you will never be able to reach a height in your whole life." Betty Brown's microblade eyebrow arched, she's unconvinced and said this.
"As a matter of fact, I am not interested in comparing knowledge with your grandfather. Everyone has his own field of expertise. If your grandfather didn't insist on making that hypocritical remark, I wouldn't have to expose him." Leon Williams responded faintly.
Make a verdict.
Leon Williams never said that he was knowledgeable and talented. On the contrary, Brown' Family's head said these words to elevate himself and belittle others.
Admittedly, the Brown family can be called a scholarly family in the Provincial Capital. They must have its inside information, but it is indeed undignified to talk about today's Donald Brown.
When Betty Brown saw Leon Williams replied like this, she slightly furrowed her eyebrows and felt a trace of shame in her heart.
She thought Leon Williams would come back angrily, but she didn't expect Leon Williams to respond lightly.
The words are reasonable and well-founded, neither overbearing nor showing weakness, which directly made Betty Brown, a famous girl who is full of poetry and books, speechless.
Complete defeat!
At least today, Betty Brown is defenseless!
Leon Williams is sometimes strong and sometimes gentle yet focused, which made Betty Brown deeply doubt that it is useless to read poems these years.
In fact, reading is still useful, but Betty Brown does not know that Leon Williams reads no fewer books than she does.
"I know you're looking for me, and there must be something else, but if you look at the situation, you two won't mention it, so I won't ask." Leon Williams said to Betty Brown.
"Don't you have any curiosity at all?" Betty Brown asked rhetorically.
"So what? your grandfather won't tell me." Leon Williams answered.
"How did you know?" Betty Brown asked again.
"You said before that your grandfather was a big shot and a big shot, and now even if he eats flat, he won't admit defeat because he looks down on me, so he will set me up to save himself some face." Leon Williams said.
In the analysis of human, Leon Williams is the best. The thinking of the Western is the thinking of the Book of changes. A master of Heaven, has personally taught Leon Williams is great.
The biggest mistake of Betty Brown is to really treat Leon Williams as a nameless junior.
She only knew that Gordon Moore is unparalleled in learning, but she doesn't know that Leon Williams reads enough books, humble and low-key.
"My grandfather is not that kind of person. He is highly respected and is not as stingy as you think!" Betty Brown shook her head to disagree.
If you look at the embarrassed expression of Donald Brown, at this time, it is easy to judge whether he is really like what Leon Williams said.
It's just that in Betty Brown's heart, her grandfather was a great scholar full of experience. In ancient times, the great scholar who was enough to enter the Imperial Academy, his tall and majestic image made it difficult for her to subvert.
This time, Leon Williams did not argue, but a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
No granddaughter admits that her grandfather is hypocritical and stingy, so there is no need to argue with her because it is meaningless.
Then, Leon Williams turned and left.
As she looked at the figure of Leon Williams leaving, Betty Brown unexpectedly had a trace of doubt.
"Grandpa, do you think he collects rags or not? I can't tell you how I feel. I don't think he's easy."
"It must be your delusion, Betty Brown. He's a far cry from the Moore kid. Gordon Moore is respectful and gentle every time he sees me. That's the perfect person for you."
After today, Donald Brown hated Leon Williams because Leon Williams read his mind.
"Maybe it's really my delusion. Since we decided to repent our marriage to Leon Williams, should we give him some compensation?" Betty Brown asked.
"Oh, give him compensation for a wife? Given his current status of collecting rags, it must be very difficult for him to find a wife. I guess he came to the hotel to clean up tonight. Life in the Provincial Capital is so stressful that no girl will want to come near him at all. " Donald Brown joked.
However, just at this time, Janet a popular young girl, took the initiative to stop Leon Williams and laughed at Brown's conversation with Leon Williams.
