The peony was already in the auction. When Fu Tian arrived, the auction had just started. According to the owner of the peony, this is an old peony that has been in flower for nearly 20 years. It has been taken care of very well. After the finale of the Peony Flower Fair.

Many people who got the news in advance waited for this peony to show up, holding their breath.

There were many bidders, and the auction price started directly from 1000 taels of silver. At the beginning, it was still 500 taels and 500 taels were added up. Later, some people got impatient and called for 5000 taels in one go.

The crowd gasped, and the man who called out 5000 taels was a man with the appearance of a wealthy businessman. He looked around proudly, determined to win the peony on the stage.

"6000 taels." Suddenly, another thick male voice sounded from the whispering crowd. Fu Tian was still observing the situation, when he heard the voice his expression moved, and he looked towards the source of the voice.

It turned out to be a familiar face.

As I said before, except for the direct branch of the Fu family, all the side branches went out to make their own fortunes, and the best among them was Fu Zhengde, Fu Tian's second uncle, who was doing business in Qingyang.

Fu Zhengde's great-grandfather and the great-grandfather of the Fu family were brothers. Fu Youqin wanted to call him second cousin, while Fu Tian wanted to call him second uncle.Fu Zhengde came back when he worshiped his ancestors last year, but because of Fu Shuyue's incident, the two families were not very happy.

Did not expect to meet here again.

"6000 taels, is there anyone else to bid?" The owner of the peony looked at the crowd below with a happy face. At this time, there were only a few people asking for the price, but every time they asked, the price of the peony would be pushed up even higher. , as a seller, he is naturally very happy.

"Seven thousand, 500 taels." Fu Zhengde's previous bidder added another 500 taels, with hesitation already in his voice, and if the price was increased now, he might have to withdraw from the bidding.

Fu Tian, ​​who had been silent all this time, said, "9000 taels."

The crowd around him was in an uproar, and they all looked at this young man who had been silent all this time in shock.

Fu Tian ignored those probing eyes, and was determined to win this Wei Zi plant.

When Fu Zhengde heard "9000 taels", he was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that the voice was obviously still a young man. He saw a person standing in the middle of the commotion. He really looked like a young man, but the crowd blocked him, so he couldn't see his face clearly.

He gritted his teeth and continued to increase the price, "500 taels."

He must buy this Wei Zi plant. The tenth day of the lunar new year is the Empress Dowager’s birthday. I heard that the Queen Mother loves peonies very much. It doesn't matter, as long as the son sends this peony to the queen mother, he will definitely please the queen mother. When the time comes, the son will help to say a few words in front of the queen mother, and he will also be able to compete for the Qingyang imperial merchant's spot.

Although the purpose of the two is different, the person they want to send is indeed the same.

Fu Tian is not short of money, but he lacks a suitable birthday gift. Now that things are in front of him, it is impossible for him to give up. What's more, Fu Zhengde humiliated Fu Shuyue in Qingyang back then, and Fu Tian still has to remember it in his heart. It is even more impossible for him to humble his elders.

So he unceremoniously added another 1000 taels.

Master Peony's voice almost broke, "1000 taels!"

Fu Zhengde was suffocated, and finally looked at the center of the commotion again. He pushed aside the crowd and walked in front of Fu Tian, ​​"Little brother, this peony is extremely important to me, can you—"

Halfway through his words, his expression and movements froze suddenly, and he said in shock, "Youling? Why are you here?"

Then he reacted very quickly, with a smile all over his face, "Is this your first time in Qingyang? Come with me to the mansion later, did you pat this peony for fun? Second uncle wants to grow it Use, don't make trouble..."

Before Fu Tian could reply, he finished talking all by himself like a cannonball, and patted Fu Tian's shoulder lovingly with a smile on his face when he finished, as if he had long forgotten that the relationship between the two was not very harmonious when they were in Sifang Town. There is also some faint contempt.

Fu Tian's expression remained unchanged, and he raised his hand to stop his movements, "Second uncle, the public is in the public, and the private is in the private, this peony... the one with the highest price will get it."

Seeing that the two of them knew each other, the owner of Peony felt sorry for the moment. Unexpectedly, the young man refused to let go and wanted to continue filming, so he hurriedly said, "Yes, sir, 1000 taels, do you want to add it?"

Fu Zhengde's expression twisted for a while, and he almost couldn't maintain his smile. He said with a fake smile, "You bought it just to keep it looking good. If you like it, Er Bo will find you another one."

Fu Huang shook his head and looked at him with a half-smile, "How does Second Uncle know that I bought it just to look good at home, maybe to give it to other people, only the appearance of this Wei Zi plant can be worthy of it?" The person I want to send, I will not give up."

Fu Zhengde: "You..."

Seeing that they were still talking, the owner of Peony on the stage broke in with a shrill voice, "1000 taels for the first time..."

Fu Zhengde was anxious, and immediately shouted: "Eleven thousand and five hundred taels!"

"3000 taels." Fu Huang turned around with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent.

Fu Zhengde felt that his heart, liver, spleen and lungs were hurting, and he gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Where did you get so much money?!"

Fu Tian looked at him with an innocent expression, "The Fu family's property has been accumulated for several generations, and it is only 1 taels or 3000 taels. There is no need to worry about the second uncle, I can still afford this amount."

"You, you..." Fu Zhengde pointed at him, unable to speak, he could only hold his breath and turned his head to continue bidding, "500 taels."

"5000 taels."

Fu Tian didn't show any reluctance. For every 500 taels Fu Zhengde added, he added 500 taels to round him up.

The final price was 2000 taels.

Fu Zhengde stared at the stage, tightly clenched the hands hanging by his sides, panting heavily.

For a long time, there was no one quoting in the audience. The owner of Peony waited and saw that Fu Zhengde did not speak, so he said, "Twenty-two thousand taels..."

"Twenty-two thousand two times."

"2000 two or three times, deal!"

With an excited smile on his face, he looked at Fu Tian's eyes and wanted to see a pile of gold ingots that could walk, "Young master, Wei Zi belongs to you. Look... is this a bank note or cash?"

"You take Wei Zi with me and go to Kanglehou Mansion with me to get the money."

The owner of Peony didn't expect that this extremely rich young man had something to do with the Marquis Mansion, but seeing that he was wearing brocade clothes and was generous in spending 2 taels of silver without even blinking his eyes, he felt that only princes and nobles had such confidence .

Master Peony directed the people to carefully lift Wei Zi, who was tall, and put him on the carriage, then led the horse himself, and followed Fu Tian to the direction of Dongzheng Street.

Seeing that there was no excitement, the crowd dispersed.

Only Fu Zhengde was still frozen in place, looking at Fu Tian's back.

The "Kanglehou Mansion" that Fu Tian mentioned has been lingering in his mind.He has been in Qingyang for many years. Although he is just a businessman, he has met many officials or nobles. Although those people may not put him in their eyes, they are not stingy to send him some news from their fingers.

For example, on the Empress Dowager's birthday this time, he followed the path of an official and met Prince Yong'an.Another example is the newly sealed Kanglehou.

Others only knew that Kanglehou was from the south, but he knew more. This Kanglehou not only came from Nanming County, but also came from the same origin as him, both from Sifang Town.

He has been guessing which family in Sifang Town flew up to the branch and turned into a phoenix, but he guessed all the families he remembered, but he didn't guess the Fu family.

Before today, he was still wondering if he could follow someone else's line and have a relationship with this new Lord Hou, but he didn't expect to meet him so soon, and it was from the Fu family.

He thought of what he said to Fu Tian when he worshiped his ancestors, and then thought of Fu Tian's attitude just now, and swallowed hard.

Fu Huang happily brought the flowers back to the Hou's mansion, and asked Dai Fu to get the bank notes, settled the money, and asked people to move the peony flowers to his yard like a baby.

Putting the peony in the best lighted place in the yard, Fu Tian waved back and walked around Wei Zi twice happily. As he got closer, he could feel the vigorous vitality of Wei Zi more clearly.

But the strange thing is that this Wei Zi plant has not spoken since the beginning, and Fu Tian was about to try to ask, when he heard a somewhat old female voice: "Xiangsheng, what do you always look at me for?"

Fu Tian was taken aback by her sudden utterance, and said, "How do you know I can understand?"

For the flowers and plants in the past, it was only when he took the initiative to speak that the other party would communicate with him. There has never been one who took the initiative to ask him something like this Wei Zi plant.

Wei Zi is getting older, and he speaks slowly, "Feeling."

It said and said: "I still feel that you have a power that makes me very comfortable."

Fu Tian was even more confused, "What power?"

Wei Zi said it didn't know either, "Can you share some with me? I can exchange things with you."

Fu Tian wondered one after another, thinking for a while what kind of power is in me, and then thinking that I don't know how to share it with you, and you have a flower that can't run or move, what will you give me in exchange?

He thought about it, and unconsciously asked the question.

Wei Zi said: "Aren't you going to give me away? I absorb the essence of the sun and the moon all the year round. People who often stay with me will also be affected by me. Not to mention all diseases are immune, but they can also be healthy."

"If you can share that power with me, the more sun and moon essence I can absorb, the more benefits the people who stay with me will have."

Fu Tian was suspicious, "Absorb the essence of the sun and the moon? Then you will become a spirit?" Although he was reborn once, such strange things are still rare, and he has never seen any plant say such a thing before.

"How can it be so easy to become a master." Wei Zi has obviously experienced a lot, and his tone of voice was very vicissitudes when he spoke, "There are thousands of flowers and plants in this world, most of them are ignorant, and there is no one in ten thousand who can open their spirits to cultivate, like me. For those with spiritual apertures, it is not easy to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon for cultivation in a stable way, and if they are resold by others, they will lose their lives if they are unlucky."

"Not to mention that this practice is also about fate and luck. I have lived for more than 20 years, and I have never heard of anyone who has become a master." If I really want to say, even it is very rare.

Fu Tian was relieved to hear that he would not become a spirit, otherwise, if he sent the flowers to the palace, he would become a spirit and run away in a few years, then something big would happen.
