In the days when I was forced to become a Feng Shui master

"Why do you ask me?" Gu Guoshi played with the jade fan in his hand, pointed at Mr. Wusong beside him with a half-smile: "He is sitting here, just ask him directly." He looked at Mr. Wusong : "I just don't know if this powerful gentleman with a big picture is willing to teach you a thing or two."

Mr. Wu Song raised his eyebrows and said, "What does this have to do with me?"

"Didn't you do it?" Gu Guoshi said: "There is a pavilion called Bitian Pavilion in the Bihaitian brothel, in case others can't guess it?"

Mr. Wu Song touched his nose: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you."

He looked at Yu Ning: "It's indeed the Pixiu Swallowing Wealth Bureau, but Ayu, you still missed a little... Pixiu Swallowing Wealth has nothing to do with magical artifacts. Have you ever thought about why it can amplify the aura of the Mountain Shadow Screen?"

Yu Ning guessed: "Isn't it the result of the Shanying Screen and the Pixiu Swallowing Money Bureau complementing each other?"

Mr. Wusong shook his head with a smile: "No."

"What is that?" Yu Ning looked at Mr. Wusong curiously, pointing at him to solve the mystery for him, unexpectedly, Mr. Wusong smiled and said nothing, and looked at the mountain screen above the high platform, Gu Guoshi sneered: "Don't ask, he's just so old, he won't tell you."

Mr. Wusong said helplessly: "You must save some face for my old face."

Yu Ning wanted to ask again, but Gu Guoshi raised his hand, indicating that Yu Ning didn't need to ask any more.Even though Yu Ning scratched her heart with all her claws, it was like watching the last episode of a TV series and the most exciting climax 10 minutes later when the internet was cut off!Person in charge? !But Gu Guoshi said you can't ask, so you can't ask, Yu Ning sat on the chair with his head dejected and holding his chest, his face was full of pain.

Seeing his expression, Gu Guoshi lightly tapped Yu Ning's forehead with his jade fan, and raised his head: "Don't want this kind of expression... just go back and tell you."

"I'm still here." Mr. Wusong said with a wry smile.

Gu Guoshi glared at him: "What does it matter to you that I teach my Qiren's disciples? Do you still want to go home with me?"

Mr. Wusong spread his hands, so he had to go.He looked at the Shanying Screen and asked, "Go up and have a look?"

Gu Guoshi glanced at the bustling crowd on the high platform with disgust, and curled his lips: "I won't go." He asked again: "Isn't this thing in the Bihaitian brothel these days? Haven't you seen enough? Still want to go up and join in?" How lively is it?"

Mr. Wusong replied: "I'm not going up, just asking."

Not long after, the steward on the stage blew the gong, inviting the onlookers to get off the stage, and the auction was about to start officially, but no one moved on the stage.The steward blew the gongs and drums again and again, and the crowd on the high platform dispersed. Naturally, Mr. Mei came down from the platform early. He didn't see Yu Ning and Gu Guoshi, so he went back to the wing by himself, and casually ordered his attendants to come find them ——The auction of Shanying Screen will start soon, so he naturally wants to watch it.

Seeing Mr. Mei's figure going upstairs, Gu Guoshi said to Yu Ning, "Let's go back too."

"Yes, master." Yu Ning cupped his hands and said goodbye to Mr. Wu Song, and the two returned to the box lightly and delicately, just in time for the first round of bidding.The price of this Shanying screen has already exceeded 10 taels for the first time, and everyone in the field is still competing, but no one in the box on the third floor opened their mouths to ask for a price.

"Guest officer No. 33, 13 taels."

"Guest officer No. 20, [-] taels."

"No.20 guest officer, 25 taels."

……

Mr. Mei listened to the quotation below, and asked Yu Ning and his third senior brother: "How much do we have?"

The third senior brother estimated the assets, and said: "Our current assets are about 35 taels. If we add more, we will have to sell some things."

At present, the 35 taels seems to be completely unstoppable. Mr. Mei is also determined to win Shanying. He asked, "Sell some of my private treasury?"

The third senior brother was startled: "Master?"

"not enough?"

"It's enough, but..." The third senior brother smiled bitterly: "The things in the master's private treasury are too precious. If you want to sell them, I'm afraid you have to hold a treasure appraisal meeting like the Bihaitian brothel-I asked earlier Pass Lu Bailu, he said that Shanying Screen is not owned by Lu Yun Commercial Company, on the surface it is said to be the result of painstaking efforts, but in fact it was entrusted by someone, so we can only clear the money and goods immediately."

Yu Ning clucked his tongue as he listened to it. Previously, Mr. Mei gave him half a month and two months of silver, which was enough for him to live comfortably and unrestrainedly for a month in this era. Now, the third senior brother opened his mouth and shut his mouth to say 10 taels, converted into RMB , Yu Ning, who had never seen so much money outside of TV and movies, was stunned on the spot. "So expensive?"

Mr. Mei glanced at him, and said patiently: "It's not expensive, it's worth it."

The third senior brother saw that Mr. Mei had no intention of objecting, so he brought out the old things and told Yu Ning in detail: "The younger brother does not know something. In the private treasury of the master, there is a flower washing ink vat, which was written by Chao Qinghe, a famous calligrapher in the Zhou Dynasty. You only need to pour clear water into the water, and there will be a reflection of peach blossoms in the water, and the words written by him will also give off a dark fragrance. Only this one, the master spent 45 taels to buy it... There are also Chen Wang's gold thread jade clothes, Xiao Mister Baili Shuxiangjian..."

The third brother reported four or five treasures in one breath, and he continued: "The price of these is no less than 50 taels."

Yu Ning asked with a confused face: "Master, where did you get so much money? Even if the three brothers all go to work to earn money, and you have dozens of shops under your name, you can't make so much money, right? The treasury How much tax is it for a year?" He looked at Gu Guoshi suspiciously: "Could it be that you let the master perform as a performer, and the one with the highest price will get it? - Are you willing to do that?"

Even if Mr. Mei has the best patience to meet Yu Ning, he will declare that the game is over. Gu Guoshi heard the word "beauty", and without waiting for Mr. Mei to get angry, he tapped Yu Ning's shoulder heavily with his jade fan, saying : "What nonsense are you talking about? I have a tax of 2000 million taels a year in the treasury... In the old year, your master was able to capture all the wealth of the world. How many high-ranking officials and nobles begged your master to see gold and silver, but they couldn't get it?"

Yuning grinned from being knocked out, and only then remembered that his master had been like the first half of the hero's life. He was suddenly relieved about why his master was able to make so much money, and obediently admitted his mistake: "It's my disciple who made a slip of the tongue."

Mr. Mei glared at him resentfully: "I wouldn't think it strange at all if I was pissed off by you someday."

"The disciple dare not."

"You are very brave."

Gu Guoshi leaned forward to interrupt again: "Ah Ruo, I still have 100 million taels on hand, if you don't have enough, just use it as you like."

"Who wants your money?"

"Isn't my money your money?" Gu Guoshi stretched out his hand to hold Mr. Mei's hand with a lingering smile, and did not shy away from the room full of apprentices and attendants, and whispered in his ear: "If it is not enough, send me It's more than enough to earn you a few cents by going out as a performer."

Mr. Mei slapped Gu Guoshi's hand off with a backhanded slap, pushed him away, and reprimanded: "A Ning is messing around, and you are messing around too? How old are you? You don't think it's embarrassing!"

Gu Guoshi naturally went to persuade him not to say more.

In the end, the three of them (except Yu Ning) did the math, and they were able to scrape together about 150 million taels of cash. If there was more, they would start selling their assets.At this time, the competition outside has finally reached a fever pitch, and the box on the third floor has also begun to participate in the competition.I only heard the boy in the box of Chouzi standing in front of the window, shouting loudly: "Chouzi room, the price is 100 million taels!"

The manager on the stage was overjoyed, as expected of a distinguished guest in the box on the third floor, he abruptly doubled the price as soon as he offered it.He said in a loud voice: "Cangyun Zhaiwang, the ugly character Fang, everyone bid 100 million taels! Can you have a higher price?"

After a while, another servant from the window of another private room shouted: "Yin Zifang, 110 million taels."

"Weizifang, 1101 million taels!"

"Ugly character room, 1105 million taels!"

Mr. Mei listened to the bidding outside and said, "It's the real price."

The so-called real price is the actual price of the Shanying Screen that Mr. Mei and the others in the third-floor box have tacitly agreed to. The approximate value, in the end, defaults to more than 100 million to 10 taels, but no one will be stupid enough to tell others what the psychological upper limit is.Therefore, no matter what people shouted before, as long as the price is less than this price, the owner of the box on the third floor will be calm and not participate in the competition-in short, it will not be lower than 110 million taels.

When this price is reached, the battle for the leader will begin, let's see who can win today's leader.

"Aren't we going to quote?" Yu Ning asked.

"No hurry." Mr. Mei walked to the window in person, just as the owner of the You character room next to him also walked to the window, the two looked at each other, and the other said, "Mr. Mei, won't you make a move?"

"Mr. Tang didn't make a move either?" Mr. Mei asked back.

"I'll take another look." Mr. Tang said.

At this time, another house owner joined the competition: "The bid for the Maozi house is 120 million taels—!"

The owner of the house with the "mao" character also came to the window, cupped his hands as if around, and said loudly: "Everyone knows that my Jiang's firm has a long history with Master Jiang! Our Jiang family is bound to win this mountain shadow screen."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone said strangely: "Master Jiang is Bei Jiang, what is your Nan Jiang about? 1201 taels! My Bai family wants this mountain screen!"

"Mr. Chenzi Fangbai's bid is 1201 million taels, can someone increase the price?" The steward blushed and raised his voice excitedly.

The third senior brother and Yu Ning explained: "Although Master Jiang was born in Nanjiang, his sect is from Beijiang, and this Jiang's business started from Nanjiang. Master Jiang suffered a lot from Nanjiang when he was young. Thinking of Master Jiang's departure, the two factions are arguing over who is the orthodox Master Jiang, and it is an anecdote."

"So that's how it is." Yu Ning replied in a low voice, with a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes: "Those who have achieved success in the past, most of them have not been very happy when they were young. If Master Jiang has such an achievement, he must thank Nan Jiang for his help." Cultivate vigorously."

The third senior brother smiled: "Could it be that when you are young, you will be successful, but when you are old, you must not achieve anything?"

Yu Ning replied: "If you were successful enough when you were young, wouldn't it be good to eat, drink and have fun? Being pampered and spoiled, arrogance and lust are the true qualities of a teenager! In short, I don't believe that there are people who are born to love reading and love to be motivated. Brother, have you ever heard a word? ?The favored are always confident."

The third senior brother tasted it, and couldn't help but nodded: "It's very, very!"

Gu Guoshi was listening to the two senior brothers whispering their ears, and after hearing Yu Ning's words, he said to Mr. Mei: "Fortunately, Ah Yu didn't grow up in the emperor's house."

Mr. Mei snorted coldly, and said flatly, "Go back and treat him."

At this time, the two senior brothers who were biting their ears didn't realize it, and they were still sharing gossip.

"Junior brother, let me tell you that this Bai family is the head of the Jiang family, and has a long-standing grudge against the Jiang family. I heard that the young master of the Bai family, a poor scholar, abducted the youngest daughter of the Jiang family decades ago to elope. , as a result, Jiang's daughter died accidentally outside, but the young master of the Bai family returned home as if nothing had happened, and took Jiang's daughter's private house to start a business. Jiang sent someone to look for it, and the Bai family said that Jiang's daughter ran away by herself. , they don’t know where Jiang’s daughter is.”

Yu Ning didn't expect such old things to happen, and murmured: "It can be seen that the Bai family is not a good person..."

At this time, another company outside joined the competition. "Wu Zifang, the bid is 130 million taels!"

"Master, don't you still bid?" Yu Ning asked.

"No hurry, just wait." Mr. Mei stood by the window, condescendingly looking at the mountain screen, and said meaningfully.
