Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

Ever since Magistrate Xu took office, many people have wanted to curry favor with him but have not found the opportunity. Every time they come to visit with gifts, they are sent back by Steward Huang.

Now, this Lord Xu actually sent out invitations and took the initiative to invite the wealthy businessmen of Heyang County to participate, which made them very excited. In ancient times, people thought that it was better to have power than to have money. Of course, they wanted to have both money and power.

If you can establish some connections with officials, you can speak louder when you go out and it will make you proud.

Mr. Liu, who always wanted to curry favor with others, also received an invitation this time. He was extremely excited because he had been turned down several times.

I did meet Magistrate Xu last time, but was left aside before I could say anything.

Thinking of the words "bring your family along", Mr. Liu thought for a moment and decided to bring his third concubine, Liang. There was no other reason, because the third concubine was pretty and she was good at saying that the main wife was too old-fashioned.

What's more, Mr. Liu also knew that Liang had met Madam Xu once before and they could still talk to each other. For the sake of his own business, even though the wife was not happy, he had to give up.

The news that County Magistrate Xu was going to hold a social auction at the Xu Mansion quickly spread throughout the upper class society in Heyang County.

As everyone knows, this so-called auction is nothing more than paying money to buy things, in other words, it is fundraising. But if you spend some money with Lord Xu, you can establish a relationship with the county magistrate, so everyone is still willing to pay this small amount of money.

The day of the charity auction soon arrived. Early in the morning, Shen Ping asked Dadong to drive the carriage to take her and Xu Feng out.

Shen Ping loaded all the things she bought at the mall onto the carriage, including large and small items. There was also a half-human mannequin.

This half-human mannequin was made by Carpenter Li at short notice by Shen Ping. Shen Ping originally wanted to buy it directly from the mall, but the mall only bought plastic models. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, she had to ask Carpenter Li to make it.

Unexpectedly, Carpenter Li was also very shy. When he knew that Shen Ping asked him to carve a nude female model, he kept waving his hands and said that it was immoral.

It was only after his wife Xiu Gu twisted his ears that he was willing to do it. I didn't expect that the ancient people were so conservative that they thought it was a crime to carve a human figure of wood. Carpenter Li's approach still made Shen Ping ashamed and admired him.

Shen Ping wrapped the human-shaped model with a piece of cloth and told Dadong to carry these things in with him.

The guests invited to this trip are the top 30 elites from the manufacturing and service industries in Heyang County.

Soon everyone arrived. The day before yesterday, County Magistrate Xu sent someone to Dachun's store to ask Si Ya to prepare some cakes, which were delivered early in the morning.

County Magistrate Xu arranged the cakes on beautiful plates, arranged them in a row, and set up several long tables, just like a buffet.

The whole social gathering is divided into the first half and the second half. The first half focuses on the auction and the second half focuses on the meal.

Altogether more than 20 wealthy businessmen came to the auction, and including their wives there were more than 40 people in total. They were all dressed in silk clothes and chatting and laughing.

"Mr. Liu, your third concubine is becoming more and more beautiful!

"No, no, no~" Mr. Liu shook his head and said: Mr. He, you are no exception. I heard that you took in a fifth concubine. She is only 16 years old and looks very pretty."

"Hahaha……"

As he said this, several men beside him also laughed obscenely.

The woman standing next to Mr. He turned cold and looked extremely ugly after hearing Mr. Liu's words. She was Mr. He's first wife, Qi.

He sneered, "Master Liu, our master has already taken in five wives, and you only have three. You better hurry up! Don't fall behind our master."

Of course not. She was Mr. He's principal wife. She was not happy about her master taking a fifth concubine. Now she was even more angry when Mr. Liu mentioned it again.

Liang laughed: "Don't be angry, sister. Think about it, no matter how many wives Mr. He has, he still takes you with him when he goes out! He is not like our master who only wants to take me with him when he goes out." After saying that, she picked up her handkerchief and covered her mouth with her hands and laughed.

On the surface, Liang was praising Mr. He's main wife, but in a roundabout way she was praising herself as well. How could Qi not understand that?

But hearing her say such nice things, he couldn't get angry right away, so he could only snort coldly and turn his head away.

Mrs. Xu and her husband came in at this time, and County Magistrate Xu stood on the stage and stretched out his hand to make a quiet gesture: "Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the Heyang Business District's social auction.

As everyone knows, the people of Heyang County are currently living in dire straits. Madam Shen and I have donated some items to this auction, and we hope that everyone will bid enthusiastically.

All the proceeds from this auction will be used for disaster relief. I and the people will remember your kindness.

If we openly ask everyone to donate money, I guess no one would be happy about spending the money. But it’s different if you can take something back from the auction.

Since everyone was thinking that they would have to spend some money on this trip anyway, they became interested in the items being auctioned.

"Ms. Shen?"

Some of them still didn't know much about Shen Ping, and some of those who knew her told everyone, and then everyone knew about it.

It turns out that the tall and beautiful woman in front of me is the owner of Zhang’s Braised Pork Shop and also the second manager of Heyang Beauty Shop. She is really impressive.

"Hello everyone! This is a colorful glass lamp." Shen Ping pointed at what Dadong was holding and asked Dadong to take it out. She showed it to the rich businessman and walked around, then walked back onto the stage.

This is the glass tea set she bought in the mall for 100 coins. It has a teapot and five cups. The magic of this tea set is that the tea set and teacups change color, and the colors are different when viewed from different angles.

When wealthy businessmen who have seen the world see this thing, they can't help but marvel at it.

"This thing is great. I've never seen anything like it. It's crystal clear and can even change color. If I bought it, I would definitely not be willing to use it and would just put it aside."

"Madam Shen, please tell me the price."

Even the third concubine Liang was tempted: "Master, can you buy that set of tea set and give it to me?" As she said this, she pulled Mr. Liu's sleeve again.

“Okay… okay…” Mr. Liu smiled with his eyes narrowed.

Qi rolled her eyes. All men in this world were the same. They just liked those slutty bitches. She wanted to ask her husband for it, but she was not good at acting like a spoiled brat. She also disdained Liang's behavior.

"The starting price is 100 taels of silver, and each bid will be 50 taels of silver." County Magistrate Xu said loudly.

"I'll offer 200 taels of silver." said a man in a navy blue satin robe. This was Mr. Wang, the innkeeper. It was said that he had inns in every town.
