Looking at Li Yanjun lying on the bed, Lu Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly. Originally, Lu Chen had planned for this girl to run out and called her up. The two of them could watch the excitement of the auction and chat over a glass of red wine. Life and ideals, enhance feelings.
It's better now. We haven't negotiated any romance or life ideals. Lu Chen has seen the wine of Princess Langya first. After seeing the wine of Her Highness, Lu Chen felt like he was hit by a 10,000-volt thunderbolt. General feelings.
At the same time, Lu Chen also secretly decided that he would never let this person drink in the future. Good guy, after drinking, this future wife will become the boss and her second child.
After this busy work, the auction below has already reached the fifth lot. This lot is a glass lamp, and the price has been shouted to 950 guan at this time.
"One Thousand Guan!" This was the first bid in this auction that reached a thousand Guan. Lu Chen looked directly for the voice and saw that it was coming from the Zheng family's box on the second floor. This voice was also very familiar to Lu Chen. , it was Zheng Shanguo’s voice.
"Is it possible that the head of the Zheng family didn't come?" Lu Chen looked at the box opposite with some confusion.
Is the head of the Zheng family coming? came, but the head of the Zheng family did not sit in the box, but sat on the first floor. When Lu Chen looked at the Zheng family box opposite, the head of the Zheng family, Zheng Qian and Zheng Wanzai, was looking at Lu Chen's box.
Zheng Qian, who was sitting on the first floor, glanced around all the boxes on the second floor. The windows of all the boxes were open at this time, except for Lu Chen's box, which was half-opened and half-closed. Moreover, this When the glazed lamp appeared, except for a few special boxes that didn't have a price call, basically all the other boxes had a price call.
As for the boxes that did not have bids, Zheng Qian also showed them to the people below. In addition to a few boxes belonging to the aristocratic families who had reached an agreement with the Zheng family, there were also boxes belonging to Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, and in the end, What was special was the box where Lu Chen was.
The people below actually didn't know who was sitting in this box, and they couldn't find out who was sitting in the box. It seemed that the box was empty. But just now when Lu Chen hurried over to hold Li Yanjun down, Zheng Qian saw a figure in the box. After a flash of light, Zheng Qian knew that there was definitely someone in this box, but the identity of this person made Zheng Qian have to think about it.
As for why Zheng Shanguo bid for this glazed lamp, it was actually because the Zheng family was originally ranked fourth during the "Aristocratic Family Meeting", but due to the interference of the Du family, there was no other way, and the Zheng family had no choice but to postpone the bidding. On to fifth place.
At this time, Luo Lifu, who was standing behind the auction table, raised the auction hammer in her hand and asked again if anyone was bidding. At this time, Lu Chen seemed to feel something. Through the gap in the window lattice, he saw the person below looking up. My own thin old man.
Just from this glance, Lu Chen knew that this old man might not be so easy to get along with. Moreover, just when Lu Chen glanced at him, Lu Chen found that this old man actually smiled at him, with his falcon-like eyes. Lu Chen couldn't help but be surprised by the stern smile.
Obviously the old man had noticed his presence, but Lu Chen thought that the old man probably didn't recognize him. He took a sip of red wine, calmed his mind, and looked through the gap in the window lattice again, and found that the old man actually Still staring at his box.
"Liu Jing!" Lu Chen waved directly to Liu Jing, and Liu Jing hurriedly came over, "Go to the prince and ask to see if you know this person!" Lu Chen leaned back and left the window. Then he raised his finger and pointed at Zheng Qian's position in the gap between the window lattice.
Liu Jing half-crouched to confirm Zheng Qian's position, then withdrew, bowed in response, and then left the box.
In the time it took to drink tea, Liu Jing came back and reported the investigation to Lu Chen. Although Lu Chen didn't know Zheng Qian, Li Jiancheng obviously knew him. He learned from Li Jiancheng that this old man was the head of the Zheng family. Zheng Qian Zheng Wanzai.
"Awesome!" Lu Chen waved his hand directly, indicating that Liu Jing could step back. Lu Chen, who was leaning behind the window lattice, secretly praised him. The heads of other aristocratic families were all sitting in the box, but this was the only one from the Zheng family. The owner of the house is sitting below. It seems that this old man obviously thinks that there is something fishy about this auction!
"However, even if he thinks there is something fishy, my bait is sweet enough. Even if Old Man Zheng has doubts, he has to eat it!" Lu Chen pondered with a smile on his lips, because at this time Luo Lifu had already dropped the hammer. As a sign, the Zheng family bought the glazed lantern for one thousand guan.
When Lu Chen was feeling complacent, he slightly poked his head down to look down through the gap in the window lattice again, and found that Zheng Qian had disappeared.
At this time, Zheng Qian had already arrived in the Zheng family's box. Zheng Shanguo saw Zheng Qian and hurriedly saluted Zheng Qian. Zheng Qian waved his hand directly, walked to the chair, lifted the skirt of his robe and sat on the chair.
Zheng Shanguo hurried over and poured Zheng Qian a cup of tea.
"Hasn't it been found out who is in that box?" Zheng Qian looked at Zheng Shanguo seriously and asked.
"Master, I asked the shopkeeper of Changyuan Building. He said that the box was reserved by Qian Junnan. As for who it was reserved for, he didn't know!" A man in well-dressed clothes stood aside and shouted at Zheng Qian bowed and saluted and said.
"Hmph! Waste!" Zheng Qian snorted coldly, "The shopkeeper doesn't know, doesn't Qian Junnan know either?" Zheng Qian continued to ask in a cold voice.
"The villain also asked Qian Junnan, and he said he didn't know. He only said that it was reserved by Liuli's owner for an important guest!" The handsome man replied again.
"Important guest?" After hearing the report from the well-dressed man, Zheng Qian sneered again, and raised his gray eyebrows slightly, "I suspect that the important guest is the person who owns Liuli!" Zheng Qian sneered. said.
"Why did uncle say that?" Hearing Zheng Qian's words, Zheng Shanguo couldn't help but ask.
"Good fruit!" Hearing Zheng Shanguo's question, Zheng Qian couldn't help but sigh, "They say you are the face of our Zheng family and a smart person. Why can't you understand such a simple courtesy?" Zheng Qian Qian looked at Zheng Shanguo as if he hated the iron.
"Do you know why you lost to Lu Chen?" Zheng Qian didn't say the reason for his suspicion, but asked Zheng Shanguo directly. Hearing Zheng Qian's question, Zheng Shanguo couldn't help but change his face slightly, and turned the Zheng family's The output of five mines can be said to be the thing that Zheng Shanguo feels most guilty about towards the Zheng family. He did not expect that his uncle, Zheng Qian, the head of the Zheng family, would actually mention this matter in front of so many people, and he couldn't help but feel tense.
"This is a shameful thing for Shan Guo to do to the Zheng family!" Zheng Shan Guo hurriedly stood up and bowed to accuse him.
"Shanguo! My uncle doesn't mean to blame you! There are only five mines, but our Zheng family hasn't taken them seriously yet!" Zheng Qian directly waved his hand to stop Zheng Shanguo, "But these five mines cannot be lost in vain. If we can use this Liuli How many mines can be obtained in exchange for the manufacturer taking control?" Zheng Qian looked at Zheng Shanguo and said with a serious face.
"My uncle also heard about what happened between you and Lu Chen!" Seeing that Zheng Shanguo didn't say anything, Zheng Qian continued, "It's good that you are an upright official. This is very important to the reputation of the Zheng family, but that Lu Chen You never follow the rules, haven't you noticed after this incident?" Zheng Qian looked at Zheng Shanguo and reminded him.
"Yes! My nephew also found out!" Zheng Shanguo saluted again and said.
After going through the bet, Zheng Shanguo, Wang Gui and others were not idle. When they got together, they also reflected on why they were cheated so miserably by Lu Chen. The final conclusion was that these "game rules" they have always followed It seemed that it was of no use to Lu Chen at all, and they also discovered one thing, that is, Lu Chen seemed to have great respect for the emperor Li Yuan, but in their opinion, it seemed that Lu Chen gave Li Yuan more This is because of their reputation, which is exactly the same as that of their family.
Moreover, the more important point is that Lu Chen seems to have a very good understanding of the so-called "Five Surnames and Seven Hopes" and the "Guanlong Family". It can be said that he understands them very thoroughly, but for the They didn't know anything about Lu Chen who just came up with some novel things. The most important point was that Lu Chen was a bit "unscrupulous" in his actions. The reason why they saw this was when the gate of Zheng Shanguo's house was destroyed. thing, they discovered.
When everyone thought that Lu Chen didn't dare to destroy the door of a minister's family, the Chang'an County Duke really dared to do so, and he did it in full view of the public.
"It is said that Lu Chen has a lot of good things in his hands?" Zheng Qian asked, looking at Zheng Shanguo who was deep in thought.
"Yes! His Weiwei-backed equipment alone has made many people salivate!" Zheng Shanguo was awakened from his meditation by Zheng Qian's words and reported directly.
"I've heard about this too! Is there any way to get it?" Zheng Qian nodded, looked at Zheng Shanguo and asked.
"I'm afraid it's difficult! Lu Chen seems to be naturally hostile to our aristocratic families!" Zheng Shanguo thought about it and said.
"Attitudes can be changed!" Hearing Zheng Shanguo's words, Zheng Qian laughed directly. "They say money moves people's hearts. Why does Lu Chen want those lands and mines from you? What does this mean?" Zheng Qian looked at it. Zheng Shanguo asked.
"Is he short of money?" Zheng Shanguo thought for a moment and replied.
"He should be very short of money!" Zheng Qian was quite satisfied with Zheng Shanguo's answer. He smiled and stroked his beard, which had turned mostly white, "Besides, he was not only short of money, he was also short of resources. !" Zheng Qian looked at Zheng Shanguo again and reminded.
After hearing his uncle's words, Zheng Shanguo suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
