After the fairy disappeared

What’s the point of Chapter 1449?
He Lingchuan nodded: "I understand."

Just like he did with the Gu family, Qingyang Regent was originally prepared to attack them, but King Yao temporarily gave in and exchanged interests, so Qingyang withdrew the charges against them.

However, this has already brought bad reputations to the officials and families involved. After all, flies don't bite seamless eggs. If Qingyang takes action against them through the method of monitoring and recommending them, they must have a long history of bad deeds and something to hold against them.

Everyone was beginning to have doubts, but the competition at the auction was still going on. The fight between the three people became more intense, and the price quickly rose to 23,000.

The merchants participating in the auction on the opposite side bowed to Zhang Shan and sat down, meaning that they would withdraw from the competition.

He Lingchuan recognized him; he was the head of Deyou Trading Company.

There are only two competitors left.

Fan Shuang rubbed her hands, her eyes sparkling: "It's time for something fun."

He Lingchuan also recognized Zhang Shan's opponent. It was Qu Ruhai, the Zuo Zongchang of Luodian State, whom he met while barbecuing in the courtyard on the first day he arrived in Tianshui City!
How could ordinary officials and merchants dare to challenge the Qing Palace? But the people of Luodian obviously did not have this concern.

The last time He Lingchuan saw Qu Ruhai, he knew that he was very happy here and was not worried at all that Yao State would harm him.

Qu Ruhai crossed his arms in front of him and said to Zhang Shan with a smile: "Zhang Lao Er, your bid is so weak, is it because you didn't have enough dinner?"

Facing his provocation, Zhang Shan sneered: "You spend money lavishly here, aren't you afraid of draining the little wealth of Luodian? Oh, no, that money was robbed, so you don't feel bad about spending it."

Qu Ruhai stroked his beard and said leisurely, "Is the money in your Qing Palace clean? Why did Qingyang Regent investigate your family a while ago?"

As soon as these words were spoken, people started talking about it.

For most people, this news is new.

Zhang Shan's eyebrows were knitted together: "Spreading rumors and slander will pay off! Qu Ruhai, you'd better be careful about what you say."

The last few words were uttered with gritted teeth.

The two of them kept bidding as they bickered. The price of Youhu Jingshe went from just over 20,000 to 35,000!

Everyone was so amazed that they couldn't close their mouths. They came to Chibao without even eating dinner, weren't they waiting for this kind of show?
Thirty-five thousand, thirty-five million yuan that an ordinary person could not earn in several lifetimes, was used to buy a beautiful house beside the Youhu Lake!
The most outrageous thing is that this house was sold without even digging the foundation or moving the soil?

The world of the rich is really crazy.

As everyone was curious and complaining, the competition between Qu and Zhang slowed down.

After all, it is still expensive, far beyond its own value.

So Qu Ruhai stretched and waved to the auctioneer: "Forget it, give it to him."

He was here to disrupt the situation, and it was enough to achieve his goal. There was no need to buy the house. Although it sounded great for a Luodian man to live in the royal territory, the cost-effectiveness was there.

There is no value for money at all!
Zhang Shan also had a stern face. He could have gotten the item for just over 20,000 yuan, but the other party raised the price to 38,000 yuan before letting it go. Of course, the Qing Palace still lost money.

People fight for their dignity, but this dignity is so expensive.

Zhang Shan remembered his father's solemn instructions before he left home for Chibao: "Buy back the Youhu Jingshe, no matter how much it costs!" The auctioneer dropped the hammer several times, but no one followed up with a bid, so it was announced that the first Jingshe in Youhu would belong to the Qingwang Mansion.

Fan Shuang exhaled and said with emotion: "Thirty-eight thousand taels!"

He knew that He Lingchuan's abode would definitely not be cheap, but the price made his heart flutter several times.

Fan Shuang was born into a family of minor officials, and her father's salary was only three or four hundred taels a year.

"Brother He is really amazing. He has only been in Tianshui City for a few days, but he has already earned more money than others can earn in several lifetimes!" These words came from the heart without any pretense.

He Lingchuan smiled and said, "How can it be that I am so good? It is clearly the king who has planned everything out."

Your Majesty? What does it have to do with Your Majesty? Fan Shuang was puzzled, but Yuwen Xu beside him seemed to be thinking about something.

"Brother He, when will the other houses in Youhu Villa be put up for sale?"

"Soon." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "In a few days."

"Leave one set for me? You decide the price." Yuwen Xu didn't even bargain, "You must give my family one set!"

He Lingchuan suddenly said something off topic, which made Fan Shuang a little confused: "I heard that your brother also got promoted?"

Yuwen Xu was also a little surprised, but still answered: "Yes, with General Chongwu."

Because of his special status, the promotion of General Chongwu attracted most people's attention. In fact, Yuwenxu's elder brother also filled the gap left by Xue Zongwu's death and was also transferred to the northern border.

He is also on the rise, so the Yuwen family is very happy these two days.

He Lingchuan immediately showed his usual generosity: "There are only three villas in the first row facing the lake in the first phase of the villa, and Prince Qing's Palace has already auctioned off one. Since Brother Yuwen asked, I will reserve a lakeside villa for you. I guarantee that the scenery is excellent!"

Yuwen Xu was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly: "Brother He, I am very grateful for your kindness! I will definitely send the money tomorrow."

He didn't plan to come here to buy anything today and didn't have much money with him.

Is it so urgent? Fan Shuang was confused as she listened to this.

The Prince Qing's Mansion would rather spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to bid for the first residence; Yuwen Xu also went to He Lingchuan with silver in hand to reserve a room, and was afraid that he would be late.

He Lingchuan is willing to accept these tens of thousands of taels from him, and Yuwenxu has to look grateful?

How did the world change again? What was the trick? Why couldn't Fan Shuang figure it out?

Two of the three were removed. As a result, there was only one building left in the first row facing the lake.

After the finale, tonight’s Chibao sale came to a successful conclusion.

After the show, everyone went home.

Yuwenxu also introduced He Lingchuan to Zhang Shan. Zhang Shan's frowning eyebrows relaxed: "So it's Island Master He, I've heard a lot about you! When will you start construction of your Youhu Villa? I hope to be the first to move in."

"Just these few days." He Lingchuan smiled, "I hope everything goes well."

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then Zhang Shan found an excuse to leave.

At this time, Gu Xuan also strode over and approached He Lingchuan: "Brother He, my family will also order one!"

Fan Shuang glanced sideways.

Something big must have happened that he didn't know about!

He Lingchuan didn't seem surprised by Gu Xuan's question. He just asked, "You haven't seen the floor plan yet, right?"

"No, it doesn't matter." Gu Xuan said with a smile, "I heard that Brother Yuwen has already placed an order for one, I can't fall behind."

"Okay, then I recommend the second row of houses to the Gu family. Although it is not the first row facing the lake, it can see the winding lotus bridge inside the villa, which is also very interesting."

"The second row?" Gu Xuan was startled. "Are there no more Linhu Jingshe in the first row?"

"There is another one, but..." He Lingchuan said meaningfully, "Brother Gu's family is mainly engaged in business, and usually they do some official business. Taking the first row by the lake will do more harm than good. I think the second row and the third house are more suitable for the Gu family."

“Is that so? Hmm——” Gu Xuan was moved.

He thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay, I want the second row one for my family."

"Brother Gu is a smart guy!" He Lingchuan patted his shoulder, "Trust me, you won't be wrong."

Gu Xuan immediately took out a soft folder from his bosom, took out the silver bill and handed it over.

He Lingchuan gave him a wooden plaque with the words "Youhu Villa, Yunxian" engraved on it.

"What is this?" Gu Xuan took it in his hand and looked at it. The wood was brown with gold, and it was a little dazzling in the light.

He recognized it; it was golden wood.

"The building plate of Yunxian Building, or the house ticket. Each building has a different name." He Lingchuan smiled, "After the building is completed, you can take possession of the house with the plate. If Brother Gu doesn't want it anymore, you can sell it."

Gu Xuan put away the sign and left with a happy smile on his face.

He Lingchuan left Chibao with the newly acquired banknotes. Before getting on the carriage, he saw people coming out of the Chibao peddler shop one after another, all discussing the fierce competition that night.

Great, that's the effect he wanted.

Fan Shuang was in the same carriage with him, so she asked tentatively:
"Brother He, what is going on?"

It seemed like all these people were playing charades and he was the only one kept in the dark. This didn't feel good.

He Lingchuan poured him a cup of warm water and handed it to him: "Brother Fan, please don't get involved in these matters for the time being."

The luxurious carriage is equipped with thermoses and treasure chests to ensure that VIPs always have hot water, fine wine and snacks available.

Fan Shuang subconsciously took it with both hands: "But I still have some spare money..."

If the Prince Qing's Mansion, the Yuwen Family, and the Gu Family are all vying for it, then it must be a good thing.

He still couldn't figure out why, but he was close to the water.

He Lingchuan smiled, looked at him twice, and remained silent.

Fan Shuang was no longer reserved and simply said, "Brother He, can I buy one too?"

There are only twelve villas in the first phase of Youhu Villa. Three of them have been reserved now, so there are nine left.

Fan Shuang believed that if she didn't take action now, these nine sets would probably be gone by tomorrow morning.

He Lingchuan immediately took out a wooden sign: "Good brother, I have to take care of you anyway."

Fan Shuang took it and saw the words "Youhu Villa, Hanqing" written on it.

The meaning is very auspicious, Fan Shuang can't put it down.

Seeing this, He Lingchuan said, "This is a small building in the fourth row of the villa. The view is not as good as the front row, but it is cheaper. I'll give you a good price of only two thousand silver coins."

Two thousand silver is two million coins, which is not a small amount. If it were three days ago, Fan Shuang would have thought that He Lingchuan was asking for too much. But the prices of the three previous buyers of the Jingshe were all no less than 20,000, so the current price of two thousand taels sounds like a bargain.

"Brother He, give me three days!" Fan Shuang was overjoyed and grabbed the sign and said, "I will definitely give you the silver within three days."

"It's okay. The account is with me. You can take the building sign first. Just give it to me when you have money." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "I have another word for Brother Fan. When it's time to make a move, make it. There's no need to hesitate."

"When is the right time to take action?" Fan Shuang was stunned. "Brother He, what do you mean?"

He Lingchuan smiled slightly: "When the time comes, you will know it naturally."
