farm house son-in-law
Chapter 50 50. Auction Success
Lu Chen and the two waited for a while, and Gu Wenrui sent someone to spread the news that there was something wrong with his family, so he asked Lu Chen to stay where he was staying, and he would definitely come to thank him the next day.
As soon as Lu Chen heard this, he knew that something might have happened to the Gu family that would not be heard by outsiders, so he left the number of the inn where he was staying, and left with He Tongxin.
After leaving the door, Lu Chen said worriedly, "I hope Master Gu is fine."
He Tongxin nodded and said, "Well, otherwise Gu Wenrui would be very sad."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I'm afraid that if his father is gone and Gu Wenrui fails in the internal struggle, then we won't get anything, and I'm afraid we won't be able to keep the brand."
"So serious?" He Tongxin asked nervously in surprise, "How do you know that the Gu family is fighting among themselves?"
Lu Chen took two steps, and slowly said to He Tongxin, "First, we also heard that the Gu family's business is not doing well this year, and then Master Gu fell ill, and Gu Wenrui, the son-in-law, rushed here desperately, and he dared not call anyone when he was sick at night. You know, isn't this clearly guarding against someone?"
"It's a good thing that Mr. Gu woke up today, but he invited us out." Lu Chen turned his head to look at Gu's mansion, sighed and said, "This kid from a rich family is not easy to be."
"This... I really can only hope that Mr. Gu and his son can get through all this safely." He Tongxin sighed softly.
The two walked towards the inn, and when they got to the door, they saw Zhang Shengxiang and a rich man get off the carriage on one side, and several people were behind them.
"What's the matter? The dog's paw was interrupted, and I personally sent it to the door to be beaten?" Lu Chen sneered.
He Tongxin immediately took a step forward, watching those people warily.
"Lu Chen, where are those wooden dolls? Hurry up and hand them over! Don't delay the important event!" Zhang Shengxiang yelled anxiously.
"I bought it with money. I can deal with it as I want. You can grab it~" Lu Chen pointed at Zhang Shengxiang and said, "Tongxin, hit him."
As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of breaking wind, Zhang Shengxiang had been prepared to dodge, and the stone hit the car window with a thud, and the sound was scary.
"You..." Zhang Shengxiang was angry and dared not speak.
"Okay." The rich man in the brocade robe shouted angrily, looked at Lu Chen bitterly and said, "50 taels, give me those dolls, and I'll just say hello to the third master about the brand." It's all over."
"Father! This is too much!" Zhang Shengxiang said with some envy.
"Shut up!" Li Yuanlong, Zhang Shengxiang's father-in-law, shouted angrily, and Zhang Shengxiang shrank back immediately.
Lu Chen didn't want to, but said disdainfully, "It's too late, I've already sold the doll. As for the brand, let's rely on our own abilities."
After Lu Chen finished speaking, he went into the inn, and the people behind him chased him two steps. When He Tongxin raised his hand, those people hurriedly backed away.
"Father, do you think they... know about Gu's plan to split the fragrant wood?" Zhang Shengxiang asked carefully in a low voice.
As soon as these words came out, Li Yuanlong raised his hand and slapped Zhang Shengxiang and said, "If this ruins the big business of the third master and the others, you can apologize to me yourself!"
"Don't, dad..." Zhang Shengxiang cried and hurriedly chased after him.
"Shengxiang was beaten." He Tongxin and the two entered the inn and did not go far. He Tongxin heard what Zhang Shengxiang said to his father-in-law.
"It seems that the Gu family is really serious this time." Lu Chen's heart was also a little heavy. After all, even if Master Gu is awake, he won't be too energetic. Whether he can really stabilize himself is another matter.
"Forget it, let's forget about the doll, anyway, we still have an important treasure." Lu Chen took the jade bead from his sleeve in the room as he spoke.
He Tongxin also didn't expect so many things to happen, and now it's not about those wooden dolls and money, but about the Gu family alone is enough to make people sigh.
"I asked the master what this thing is, so the auction will be held tomorrow, so let's take this thing." Lu Chen also wanted to divert He Tongxin's attention.
He Tongxin stretched out his hand to hold the bead and said, "Can such a small jade bead be sold for 100 taels?"
After hearing this, Lu Chen smiled mysteriously and said, "Master told me not to sell it for less than 200 taels."
Sure enough, He Tongxin was stunned when he heard this number. He carefully handed the jade bead to Lu Chen and said, "Then you keep it. If I hold it, I might not be able to fall asleep."
Lu Chen squeezed He Tongxin and said, "Then you just hold it and stay with brother, are you afraid that there is no way to keep you from falling asleep?"
He Tongxin pushed Lu Chen with a hot face. He didn't want to show too much entanglement, so he took a breath and said, "If I can really sell that much, I'll be content even if the brand can't be kept."
Lu Chen's face became less happy when he heard this, but he was not a very greedy person, so he nodded in agreement.
In the morning of the second day, the two of them went to the auction early.
The people at the auction heard the two said that there was a lot, so they took the two to the inner room, and a special person was in charge of greeting them.
As soon as Lu Chenyu's jade beads lit up, the other party's eyes flickered, and then glanced at the clothes and ages of Lu and Chen, and said with a smile, "The two little brothers brought a good item."
Lu Chen smiled lightly and said, "The family heirloom."
The other party smiled and gave a price, starting at 80 taels.
Lu Chen frowned, he reached out and took the jade bead back, and said, "Are there any experts here?"
The other party glanced at Lu Chen, and said without anger, "Experts are expensive, go to the second floor, ten taels of silver to look at it once, and the price will be set after seeing it, and there will be no more."
Lu Chen nodded, stood up and led He Tongxin upstairs.
"In this way, wouldn't they earn ten taels for nothing?" He Tongxin even felt that the man gave the low price on purpose, so as to motivate them to spend money on the second floor.
Sure enough, he went up to the second floor, and it was an older man who took a look at the beads and said, "Liuxiang beads, the starting price is 180 taels, do you want to bid?"
Lu Chen said briskly, "Shoot."
"Success, let me tell you another thing. If it is not auctioned this time, our auction will be willing to accept this at a price of 180 taels. You can think about it." The older master is also straightforward.
As soon as these words came out, Lu Chen and He Tongxin looked at each other, with some confidence in their hearts, and their expressions relaxed a lot.
When the auction started, Lu Chen and He Tongxin had their own special seats on the second floor because they were the auctioneers.
I found that the auction here is for everything. After watching the excitement for a while, the prices of the things auctioned later rose.
Just one hairpin cost 350 taels.
And because of this, the distinguished guests in the two private rooms seemed to be arguing, and finally the distinguished guest who paid 350 taels revealed his identity and said that he was the daughter of the Qingshan County Lord.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the field exclaimed.
"Oh my God..." He Tongxin also exclaimed. After all, this Qingshan County is the fiefdom of the Qingshan County Lord. To be more specific, it is Qingshan County's heaven. I don't want to be here with the Qingshan County Lord's daughter in a venue.
"Look who is that?" Lu Chen suddenly touched He Tongxin, and pointed to a man who came out of the private room of the Qingshan county lord's daughter.
Although the man walked very fast, He Tongxin could still see it clearly. Isn't that man Zhang Chunming!
"He...how could it be?" He Tongxin was at a loss for words.
"Hehe, interesting." Lu Chen sneered viciously, put his arms around He Tongxin and made an unbearable speculation. He Tongxin blushed and was speechless.
"Otherwise, he is a poor scholar, how could he go in and out of such a place." Lu Chen looked at He Tongxin and said firmly.
He Tongxin couldn't defend himself, he just said, "That's all, we don't care about our business anyway."
Lu Chen nodded, and after waiting for a while, it was finally their turn to leave fragrance beads. He said that the function is to change the fragrance according to the fragrance worn by the wearer.
It was something for women. At the beginning, no one dared to shoot it. After all, the daughter of the Qingshan county lord was taboo.
But now Lu Chen was so pissed that he was about to curse, but He Tongxin hurriedly covered his mouth.
The daughter of the Qingshan county lord is also irritating enough. She didn't shoot at first, and when a few girls thought she didn't want it, when she started to shoot, she threw out another "200 taels, I want it."
When she said this, Lu Chen was so angry that he was about to take off his shoes and throw them to the private room of the daughter of the princess of Qingshan County. He originally thought that the starting price of the beads was so high that there would be a good price, but he didn't expect to meet Such Cheng Yaojin!
Hearing that the auction was successful, Lu Chen was about to cry. After all, after the auction, he would have to take a commission of ten taels.
"Go slowly, both of you." After going to the back to change the money, Lu Chen was still uncomfortable with being unable to get up and down.
"Forget it, it's okay." He Tongxin himself was a little powerless when he said it, after all, when they came, they didn't have such a plan in their minds.
"Are you Lu Chen and He Tongxin?" Just as they were leaving, a carriage drove up, and someone shouted.
Before the two of Lu and Chen could react, a few big guys came down and surrounded them.
"I..." Lu Chen was holding back his anger, and he didn't call out to He Tongxin to strike first when he saw anyone approaching.
It was the first time He Tongxin saw Lu Chen make a move, only to realize that Lu Chen really fought in such a desperate way.
"Useless trash!" The person in the carriage saw that the person he called was beaten to the ground, and after a curse, he told the driver to turn around and leave.
"Three...Third Master..." The coachman yelled in panic, followed by the curtain of the car was lifted by a black-skinned vicious young man.
Master Gu San screamed and was held in the car for a beating. While being beaten, he kept yelling, "I am the third master of the Gu family, you dare to hit me...you wait... woo woo..."
"Stop, both of you." When the fight was in full swing, someone rode over and shouted.
As soon as Lu Chen heard this, he knew that something might have happened to the Gu family that would not be heard by outsiders, so he left the number of the inn where he was staying, and left with He Tongxin.
After leaving the door, Lu Chen said worriedly, "I hope Master Gu is fine."
He Tongxin nodded and said, "Well, otherwise Gu Wenrui would be very sad."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I'm afraid that if his father is gone and Gu Wenrui fails in the internal struggle, then we won't get anything, and I'm afraid we won't be able to keep the brand."
