That little fly

Hammer Master's final offer was made by Tong Shouzhong, "The three nobles gave it their all in the end and raised their prices one after another, five thousand each time. In the blink of an eye, the price soared from one million and one thousand three thousand to one hundred [-], [-]! The nobleman of Hezi No. [-], but I am not sure that the final winner is Hezi No. [-]. Let’s look at the other two, who will win in the end... [-] million, once! "

Zhang Li took a deep breath to calm himself down.This time they can be regarded as going all out and breaking the boat.In the eyes of outsiders, the Mansion of Heaven and Man is infinitely beautiful, standing for hundreds of years, almost as long as the empire.The royal family has also changed its direct branches and offshoots several times, but the Heavenly Mansion has not changed.

But my family knows their own affairs, and now they are not as good as before.The Mansion of Heaven and Man can only be called Mansion of Heaven if Fei Tian'er was born, and they haven't seen Fei Tian'er for more than a hundred years.Without Fei Tian'er, there is no foundation to stand on.Zhang Li is the head of the family of Zhang's generation, but he is only a fourth-rank Beijing official. In the imperial capital, fourth-rank officials are nobody, and they are not even qualified to send their children to imperial schools.As the future head of the family, Zhang Li knows more inside stories that others don't know. Although there is no evidence, the leaders of several families have a faint consensus: I am afraid that there will never be another Fei Tian'er born in the Tianren Mansion. Inheritance abandoned.

Perhaps, others have already felt it.

Otherwise, it is impossible for the Four Heavenly Mansions to be reduced to the point of being excluded by the central cabinet for decades.

Therefore, if Tianren Mansion still wants to gain a foothold in the imperial capital and maintain its fame and status for hundreds of years, it must earn some capital.Finding any possible flying child and marrying it is a fundamental solution, or, like an ordinary family, find an opportunity to rejuvenate.Like Princess Ningguo.Mr. Renshu is a bit like Fei Tianer, if it is true, if it is done well, they can perfectly solve two problems at once.

In any case, this time is an opportunity, Zhang Li is unwilling to give up, and Zhang Gao, Xu Lin and the four families behind him will not give up.

Before the hammerhead master called out the price three times, Zhang Li raised the price once, and then sent people around him to report to the in-laws in a hurry to raise funds, and he was sure to win.

[-] million...

[-] million...

110 three...

130 three...

The price was pushed higher and higher, so high that the bystanders who had been watching the excitement gradually stopped being noisy, and began to feel nervous. The hammerhead master was sweating profusely, and his entire coat was wet.Even the entire Tong family, who was originally full of confidence, began to feel uneasy.

——This is on the top.

——This is Mr. Renshu fighting against Tianren Mansion!

By now, Tong Shouzhong fully understood.Mr. Renshu didn't want to give the prescription to a certain family, so he used their Tongfu as a cover.If it wasn't for their meeting today, it would have been Mr. Ren Shu who would have met the other party in person.Thinking of this, they felt a little strange. The two parties came from the same origin (?) Why did this happen? Is there any unknown inside story?Or, that one, isn't Mr. Renshu at all?Or, Mr. Renshu has nothing to do with Fei Tian'er at all?What's more, Tong Ling's mind was wide open, could it be that Tong's house was plotted by someone?That person is a liar at all, in case that person is a fake, in case, the real Tong's house bids for a high price, but they can't afford it at all...

Fortunately, later, the head shopkeeper of Jubaozhai personally went to Hezi No. 100 box, brought in a bank draft of [-] million taels of silver from Lihao bank, claimed that it had been checked, and 'returned' it to Tong Shouzhong.

According to the rules, when the bidding has reached such a level, of course someone from Jubaozhai must come forward to verify the bidding ability of the bidder.This one million taels bank draft was presumably given by Mr. Ren Shu, under the guise of Tong Fu's name.

The shopkeeper of Jubaozhai also went to inspect the Zhang family in Tianren Mansion.At that time, Zhang Li's complexion was already ugly, and it was not a problem with the bank notes, but because the price had far exceeded their psychological price and budget.I didn't give up. Apart from the reasons mentioned before, there was also the problem of opening up the southern border.

When Tianrenfu was researching this quinine, it thought about this possibility: If this medicine can prevent miasma, it must be a great help to open up the southern border.Stuck on this point is tantamount to getting stuck on the rich resources in the southern border. This is not only wealth, but also a bargaining chip to return to the center of power.Then its value is far more than 120 Wen per dose.Zhang Li didn't know the central cabinet's plan, but they really analyzed it carefully during the internal discussions of Tianren Mansion and came to such a conclusion.Because of this possibility, he was able to not let go when the price soared to 150 million.

He couldn't let go, he fought until this juncture...

150 million ten thousand...

150 seventy thousand...

160 million thirty thousand...

160 million...

one hundred……

"1704!" Zhang Li's face was sallow, and he had to take it down. The family had acquired so many real estate properties, even gold and silver antiques, it could be said to be desperate.

"170 forty-six thousand!" If this opportunity is lost, what will happen in the future?Fei Tian'er has not appeared for more than a hundred years, and in the future, I am afraid there will not be one in the future.But there will always be Fei Tian'er in this world, and the ones that are forgotten and buried are only the Tianren Mansion, and only the centuries-old glory of Gao Zhang and Xu Lin's four families...

"170!" Now only his old father, the Da Si Nong, has the highest official position in several Tianren mansions, and he has a first-rank honorary title, because he is the great-grandson of the late Ming Xiang, but Ming Xiang's ancestral shadow is no longer possible. It's on me again.

"1705..."

When Zhang Li was about to add another two thousand, the head shopkeeper of Jubaozhai visited the box No. [-] and said, "Master Zhang, I'm sorry, but you can't increase the price any more."

"What did you say?"

"Your amount is no longer sufficient."

"What?" Zhang Lihuo stood up abruptly, and after seeing the upper limit of the amount in front of him, sure enough, no, "Boss Ke, can you wait for a while... Zhang Xier! Go quickly..."

The shopkeeper sighed softly, "Master Zhang, you should know the rules." It's not that the family background is not strong enough, it's just that the money is not enough at the moment.Accidents like this happen every year, and many people will miss their beloved things because of this, but there is no way, the rules are the rules, and this kind of opening cannot be opened, otherwise Jubaozhai will smash its own signs, and there will be no credibility. up.

Moreover, 170 million guan, this sky-high price, has far exceeded the original valuation, as if there is an element of fighting spirit in it, and Jubaozhai will charge another [-]% commission.

"The price is already very high." The shopkeeper softly comforted him. He didn't know what kind of grievances the seller had with the buyer, but the seller didn't want to do business with Zhang's mansion, and Jubaozhai didn't want to see the impasse that followed.What he didn't say was: How much more can you make up?How much more are you willing to pay?

Everything that happened in the box is unknown to outsiders, not even the hammerhead master, so he is still counting down outside, "... 1705 million... twice!"

"1705 million—three times—deal!" In the final hammering, everything became a foregone conclusion. "Congratulations to No. [-] nobleman Hezi for winning Jubaozhai's annual prize, Mr. Renshu's potion formula, quinine!"

The applause was like a wave, and all the children of the Tong family were so happy that they couldn't care less about anything else.

After the ecstasy, Tong Shouzhong rearranged his clothes and visited the neighbor again. When he entered the door, he saw that the gentleman had already put on his cloak, and he looked like he was about to leave.Tong Shouzhong was shocked and immediately realized: Mr. Renshu didn't intend to involve too much, let alone disclose his identity!Then he thought, if the Tong family, as a former second-rate family, can win in such a fierce competition, anyone with a discerning eye will immediately guess that there is someone behind them!

How to explain?

If the husband is pulled out——we can’t hide it, he will definitely be involved—then, can we just say it was a coincidence?You must know that Mr. Renshu's whereabouts have been tracked by the Central Council for a long time. The purpose behind it is self-evident, but the reason on the surface is fair and nice: the golden seal of the canonization of Lord Marquis and related procedures are still waiting for Mr. to come forward to accept it. Woolen cloth.

"I believe you can handle it well." Master Shui knows what Tong Shouzhong is struggling with, but he doesn't care. "Three days later, Jubaozhai will bring a copy of the new contract to your residence. I'm sorry, don't let it go."

Mr. Renshu didn't reveal the meaning of regular contact in the future, and Tong Shouzhong understood and said goodbye to the owner of Shui Zhuang respectfully, without asking too much.That's good, so that they won't be in a dilemma when they are questioned endlessly in the future.

Master Shuizhuang finished dressing, and took over his son's ermine cloak without using anyone's hands, "Come here, hero, we should go." He put on the clothes for his son, and his domineering hero gauze cap.

"Heroes, the green hills are still there, and the green waters are always flowing. See you in the rivers and lakes. We will see you later." Shui Qingqian put on a heroic style, and said goodbye in a dignified way.

Tong Shouzhong: ...

The water is clear and shallow, (^o^)/~~ I am so happy, finally, this sentence is finally used!

Not long after the Tianren Mansion's Zhang family suffered a disastrous defeat at the auction, there was another piece of news from Tianren Mansion that made everyone wonder: Is this bad luck, or did they really suffer some kind of retribution?

The ancestral hall of Xu's family in Tianren Mansion was struck by lightning.

The ancestral temple was struck by lightning in the autumn and winter of last year. According to the time, it was not close to the Tianren Zhang’s face being beaten at the auction. It happened that the news broke out recently. The government is cursed.Thunder and rain are God's arrangements, so why do you think it's just a coincidence that lightning strikes the ancestral hall?It is inevitable for people who eat melons to gossip like this.

The incident didn't sound very glorious, so it wasn't publicized at first, but the subsequent construction of the ancestral tomb and the construction of the ancestral hall are considered family affairs. There are endless children and grandchildren, so the scope of news inevitably expands, and the news of his family being struck by lightning spreads year after year, so the people who eat melons also heard it.The people who eat melons even include children from second-rate rich merchant families like Pumpkin Alley.

Su Xiaopang and Shui Qingqian secretly gossip about their neighbor Xu's family on the street of Tingzi Lane,

"The ancestors of their family are descendants of concubines, and those who have enough to go back to their hometown to build ancestral halls... I heard that it is for the purpose of building a family tree. Prominent position—it’s up to this time, so you must not be absent.”

Shui Qingqian didn't know anything about Xu's family at all, he didn't want to see that Xu Er, he had little contact with him, after moving, he went to the Laiyi Academy where he went to school, and he lost another chance to contact Xu Ao.He thought Su Xiaopang's gossip was quite fresh.It's just a little unreliable. It's winter and there will be thunder?The thunder happened to hit someone's ancestral grave and ancestral hall by such a coincidence, the coincidence was a bit like a storytelling.

"There will be no thunder in autumn and winter?" The people who eat melons look at a loss.

"Well, very few, very few, that's how it is summarized in the book. You said that there were very few, and it happened to fall on the ancestral grave... This is for a manifestation." Shui Qingqian suddenly touched the scar on his arm. Goosebumps, feeling so scared.

Su Xiaopang was also terrified, and quickly bit the chicken leg to suppress his shock.He suddenly found a possible reason for the haunting, "Well... I heard that the Xu family's business is not very good, maybe it's a manifestation of the law of heaven."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't really understand, but I feel, you know. My lord, they usually talk about business, the Li family's silk and satin business, the Wang family's oil extraction business, this business and that business, but when it comes to the Xu family, they Saying 'that business', business is not a good word." Su Xiaopang got Shui Qingqian's approval, and his confidence became more and more confident, "I once heard them say brothels... What is that?"

Shui Qingqian knew that, with a serious explanation, "it's a place where prostitutes sing and dance to do business." As for the specific business that prostitutes do, the book didn't say.Shui Qingqian suddenly remembered, "Doesn't Xu's family run a restaurant?"

"There are food, and there are 'other' eating, drinking, and having fun. I asked, but I was scolded~~(>_<)~~, my mother taught 'children are not allowed to ask questions.'"

On this question, the two short melons were furious, as grown-ups always do.

"Maybe they don't know it themselves, but they use such words to prevaricate, and there is another sentence, 'You will understand when you grow up.'" Shui Qingqian puffed up a steamed bun face, how old he was.He is already very big!
