The head of the Wang family saw that the head of the Chen family looked incomprehensible. He was in a good mood today, and he was willing to say a few more words to this rotten scholar who was different and incompatible with each other: "Don't stare at me like that. Isn't what I said wrong?" Every generation has something that every generation should strive for. I am working hard, but I will never be able to do what nine generations of people should do in this life."

The head of the Chen family was asked.

He thought for a moment and nodded.

Seeing this, the head of the Wang family became even more enthusiastic: "I have spent all my money to buy wine-making skills. The accumulated capital is enough to support my great-grandson. If the family is unfortunate and cannot be rich for three generations, it is not my fault. If the nine generations can really prosper as I envisioned, then my great-grandson will have to figure out a way on his own, no matter whether it is emptying his family wealth to donate an official position or doing something else, I can't control it anyway, and I will definitely not survive that day."

Patriarch Chen was awakened by these straightforward and sharp words, and held Patriarch Wang's wrist tightly: "Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading!"

The head of the Wang family rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't talk to me such useless nonsense. You must really thank me and return the silver ingot I gave you before!"

The head of the Chen family let go, looked at the half-smiling face of the head of the Wang family, and said shamelessly: "I don't know how to make money like you, and my family is very thin. I don't dare to expect that little bastard in Yuen Long to have any big future. With this money, I can You have to keep it to marry him a good, smart and capable wife!"

The head of the Wang family sneered: "Studying should start from childhood. As a great-grandfather, you will have to live another ten or eight years."

"Hehe, that's necessary!"

The head of the Chen family was smiling from ear to ear. He had found a new goal in life and was full of energy.

Once a person has Bentou, no matter how dark the sky above his head is, he will not feel depressed or unable to endure it.

The head of the Wang family ignored the silly and happy head of the Chen family and listened intently to County Magistrate Wang's introduction about the merit monument.

The head of the Chen family was enjoying himself there, until Magistrate Wang knocked on the wooden hammer and announced the bidding for the first merit monument, and the scene became lively.

County Magistrate Wang gave a passionate speech there: "There are eight merit monuments in total. Please bid enthusiastically! The merit monuments will be famous far and wide and will be famous for generations to come!"

The head of the Chen family took the lead in investing, raising his arms and shouting: "Three hundred taels!"

Magistrate Wang couldn't help but look sideways: "Three hundred taels once! Three hundred taels two times! Three hundred taels! The first merit monument was taken by the Chen family!"

The head of the Chen family was so happy that he forgot all about it. His limbs became uncoordinated. He staggered to Magistrate Wang and took the bidding voucher: "Thank you, Lord County Magistrate!"

Huo Yunchao stood aside, pointing at the drawing and said with a smile: "Chen Juren, the merit monument you took will be erected closest to Xishan College."

The head of the Chen family was so excited that his knees became weak and he almost fainted in front of everyone. Fortunately, he bit the tip of his tongue tenaciously to hold on to the dizziness in his head. He knelt down and thanked Huo Yunchao: "Master Hou, for your great kindness." , the villain will never forget it!"

Huo Yunchao said with a smile: "Chen Juren does not need to be so modest. You are the first supporter to bid for the merit monument, so it is natural for you to be given some convenience."

This was said not only to the head of the Chen family, but also to other people present. Huo Yunchao showed his attitude openly and openly - he did not engage in forced buying or forced selling, but he never said that Don’t skew resources yourself.

The head of the Chen family was so happy that he could not find anything else. Le Diandian returned to his seat and showed the head of the Wang family the merit monument he had bought: "Here, the Marquis personally promised to erect the merit monument that I bid for at this location! These three hundred taels of flowers It’s worth it!”

The head of the Wang family sneered at this. He didn't have any extra money to bid for merit monuments, and even if he had, he wouldn't want to spend it on this illusory thing.

He is a person who has suffered a lot. In his eyes, this kind of investment behavior without seeing any value is like throwing real money into the water without making a splash.

After Patriarch Chen got over his excitement, he came over to Patriarch Wang and said, "I know you are tight on money. Believe me, you will still have the opportunity to bid for the Monument of Merit in the future!"

The head of the Wang family frowned. He didn't want to pay another penny of filial piety money in vain, but he felt like a mirror in his heart, that was impossible.

Today's auction is nothing more than County Magistrate Wang and Ping Lehou making clever excuses and openly asking for bribes from them.

The more the head of the Wang family thought about it, the more he felt dissatisfied: "You mean there will be many more auctions like today's?"

Patriarch Chen noticed the angry look on Patriarch Wang's face and immediately suppressed his smile: "Don't think nonsense. Lord Wang and Lord Marquis are different from the corrupt officials in the past."

The head of the Wang family looked disdainful: "The world is as black as crows."

Patriarch Chen shook his head helplessly: "Just wait and see."

The remaining seven merit tablets were auctioned off one after another, with the lowest price belonging to the Chen family leader being three hundred taels.

The head of the Chen family was filled with joy. He was even more grateful that he had made the first quotation. Not only had he grabbed the first merit monument at the lowest price, but Marquis Pingle also gave him the perfect location closest to Xishan Academy!

After the bidding, Huo Yunchao asked Magistrate Wang to wait for a moment. He came to the high platform and glanced around the guests: "Dear guests, if there is anyone who is willing to pack meals, you can tell the servants. The servants will pack them according to your instructions. The dishes you want. Don’t be polite, just treat yourself as if you’re back in the country.”

As soon as these words came out, the small businessmen all looked shocked. They thought about packing their meals and going home. Although they have a small fortune, this is a banquet at the Pinglehou Mansion! It is a very good thing to pack it up and take it home to share with your family.

Huo Yunchao specifically asked the guests to pack their meals. Firstly, he did not want to waste food, and secondly, he wanted people who did not take pictures to bring something back.

After sending Pinglehou and Magistrate Wang off respectfully, the head of the Chen family poked the head of the Wang family on the shoulder, winked and asked him, "How is it?"

The head of the Wang family was silent for a moment, and he said: "If in ten years, Pinglehou is still the same as he is today, then my descendants will have a chance to soar into the sky."

Patriarch Chen burst out laughing: "I think so too! Heroes think alike! Cheers!"

The head of the Wang family glanced at the empty wine glass of the head of the Chen family with disgust, and poured two sips of wine for him with a pained expression: "Do it!"

The head of the Chen family drank while feeling disgusted. After drinking, he said, "Can't you give me one more mouthful?"

"No!" The head of the Wang family refused very simply, "Don't rush to pack meals with me later."

The head of the Chen family snorted: "If you don't want to rob, I won't rob. Hum, sooner or later you will beg me!"

He touched the secret recipe for dried meat in his pocket and imagined the scene where the head of the Wang family came to his shop to buy dried meat. He felt happy just thinking about it.

The people at the same table with the Wang family and the Chen family heard Huo Yunchao publicly reminding them to pack their meals and go home. Their first reaction was not to compete with the Wang family.

The head of the Wang family is known as a tough guy, stingy and shameless.

The head of the Li family and the head of the Huang family think that they are different from the iron cock, and they really can't afford to lose that person.
