Shen Rong saw a middle-aged man dressed in silk and satin running out of Liu's shop and guessed that this man should be Mr. Liu.

Sure enough, when everyone saw that Liu Dongjia took the Eighteen Scholars plant to his own shop at the first sign of his mouth, they immediately became dissatisfied.

"Mr. Liu, they just asked you if you wanted it at the door of your shop, but they didn't say they would definitely sell it to you." Mr. Wang from the shop next door was not happy.

He had never seen an eighteenth scholar of this caliber in his entire life! The Liu family must not be allowed to take advantage of him.

Someone in the crowd immediately agreed.

"I saw it clearly just now. Your servant said that you are only selling flowers, not buying them!"

"Mr. Liu, you didn't pay, so anyone of us can buy it."

Liu finally took his eyes off the camellia, turned around and glared at the waiter, and bowed to everyone, "Everyone please stop teasing me, Liu. It's all my fault that this kid has no vision."

After that, he bowed to Changsheng again and said, "Brother, please don't bother with me. Just give me the price for this flower. I want it."

Before Changsheng could say anything, the old man next to him, who was looking at the flower with shining eyes, immediately shouted: "Xiao Liu! I said I wanted to buy it before you, you can't snatch it from an old man like me!"

"You old fool, you said you wanted it, but you didn't buy it. You haven't even paid for it, so anyone can buy it!" Mr. Wang from next door was looking at the flowers. When he heard this, he hurriedly said loudly.

While several people were arguing, the owner of a nearby shop, Mr. He, came over. When he saw such a large plant of Eighteen Scholars, he immediately joined the queue to buy it with shining eyes. For a while, the place was bustling with noise.

Shen Rong and Changsheng stood next to the camellia and had no chance to speak at all.

When Liu Dongjia saw that more and more people were trying to snatch the goods from him, a look of anxiety flashed across his face.

"Little brother, tell me, how much do you want for it?"

When this question was asked, everyone fell silent and their eyes fell on Changsheng.

To be honest, although Shen Rong and Changsheng had lived in the capital for so long, and although they knew that these flowers and grasses were valuable in the eyes of the people in the capital, Shen Rong was not sure how much they were worth.

Changsheng scratched his head, and a naive look that had only been seen before appeared on his face, but the words he said next were not naive at all.

"Boss, how much do you think this flower is worth? If the price is right, I will sell it to you."

After hearing this, Liu Dongjia carefully looked at the eighteen scholars in front of him who were more than one meter tall, and finally gave a number.

"Two thousand taels of silver!" As soon as Liu Dongjia said this, someone immediately said with contempt:

"Master Liu, you are too stingy! You only give two thousand taels of silver for this Camellia King?"

"How about this, little brother? I'll pay you 2,500 taels of silver and I'll take the flower!"

"I'll offer three thousand!" Liu Dongjia became anxious and added another five hundred taels of silver to the other party's offer.

When he shouted, others followed suit.

"I'll pay three thousand five hundred!"

"four thousand!"

"Four thousand and five!"

"Eight thousand!!! I'll give you eight thousand!!!" Liu Dongjia's eyes turned red with anxiety.

The noisy crowd suddenly became quiet.

Eight thousand taels of silver to buy a flower.

For a moment, no one bid and everyone looked at Liu Dongjia in shock.

After a brief moment of shock, people around started talking again.

Although eight thousand taels of silver is a high amount, Mr. Liu is a businessman and naturally will not do business at a loss.

Everyone understands this truth.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Liu would be so generous."

"That's right! Eight thousand taels of silver, but it's not a loss if I buy it."

"I heard that Mr. Liu had originally prepared a flower for the Eighteen Scholars to attend the Flower Festival Banquet, but I heard that it died. No wonder he spent so much money to buy flowers."

"If this flower is favored by those nobles, the price will only go up, and they will still make money in the end."

When the old man saw that Liu Dongjia asked for eight thousand taels of silver, his face turned a little ugly. Finally, he snorted coldly and did not bid higher.

Shen Rong pulled Changsheng and signaled him to sell the flowers to Liu Dongjia.

Eight thousand taels of silver was already a very high amount, it was the annual expenditure of their mansion in the past. If it was any higher, it would be too eye-catching.

Changsheng got Shen Rong's hint and hurriedly pushed the flower pot in front of Liu Dongjia, "Thank you for your kindness, this flower is destined to be with Liu Dongjia, I decided to sell it to Liu Dongjia."

Liu Dongjia thought to himself: Why didn’t that brat say just now that he and I were destined to have this flower? Now that he sees that no one can compete with him, he says that this flower is destined to be with him.

Even though he was complaining, Mr. Liu still smiled and signaled the waiter to move the flowers quickly, while he invited Changsheng and the other man into the house to talk.

When everyone saw that the flowers had been bought by Liu Dongjia, they were still reluctant to leave until the flowers were moved away, and then they dispersed in groups of three or four.

But those who didn’t get the flowers were not in such a good mood.

The couple followed Liu Dongjia to the elegant room behind the shop to pay the bill.

Mr. Liu also wanted to know where the flower came from.

Shen Rong and Changsheng discussed the origins of the flowers before coming to sell them.

"This was raised by my grandfather. Our family was in financial difficulty, so we had to sell it with great reluctance." Changsheng said in a deep voice.

The camellia has long become an old tree, so it makes sense to say that it was planted by my grandfather's generation.

After hearing what Changsheng said, Liu Dongjia didn't ask any more questions and quickly gave the silver to the two of them.

Shen Rong and Changsheng successfully got eight thousand taels of silver and left the Liu family's shop through the back door.

As soon as the two men came out of the shop, they found several men guarding stealthily near Liu's shop. When they saw them come out, they hurriedly followed them.

"Hurry up and go!" Shen Rong didn't want to cause any trouble, so seeing Changsheng trying to go over and fight with others, she hurriedly pulled Changsheng.

Changsheng saw this and grabbed Shen Rong and ran out of the flower market.

Their carriage was parked outside the restaurant outside the flower market. As long as they got on the carriage, those people would not be able to catch up with them.

When the men saw Shen Rong and the other two were about to run away, they also started running after them.

Changsheng ran fast, but because he was dragging his wife, his speed naturally slowed down. After a while, the two of them were blocked in the alley by those men.

"What are you going to do?" Shen Rong asked in a deep voice.

A man with a scar on the corner of his eye, holding a stick in his hand, said in an evil voice: "Hand over the money if you know what's best for you!"

"Yes, hand over the money!"

"Hand over the money and the woman!"

The younger brothers behind the scarred man hurriedly echoed the words, and some of them, seeing Shen Rong's beauty, couldn't help but have some evil thoughts.

Changsheng saw the disgusting look in those people's eyes, and hurriedly blocked Shen Rong behind him, "Don't be afraid!"

"Heh... you little brat, you're so brave! Don't you see how many people we are? You want to be a hero and save the beauty without considering yourself!" The scarred man sneered.

"Brother, let me teach this kid a lesson!" A skinny man next to the scarred man rolled up his sleeves, stepped forward, and puffed out his chest towards Shen Rong.

Seeing this, Shen Rong's mouth twitched slightly.

How confident is this guy in himself? He dares to challenge Changsheng even though he is not even as high as his shoulder.

Changsheng took a step forward and slapped the man in the face. The man was knocked against the wall and finally slid to the corner, motionless.

A younger brother rushed over to check and said, "Boss, the monkey was knocked unconscious, and his face is swollen like a steamed bun."

After saying that, the man retreated behind the crowd cautiously.

The scarred man spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground viciously, "Useless things! Come on!"

Seeing this, seven or eight younger brothers swarmed towards Changsheng.

Changsheng was not in a panic either. Anyone who touched him was thrown against the wall by his huge force due to hunger.

Those people wanted to attack from behind and capture Shen Rong to threaten Changsheng, but Shen Rong immediately reminded Changsheng loudly.

Changsheng pulled Shen Rong, turned around and kicked the person behind him against the wall.

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight men were lying on the ground in the alley.
