The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Even if Hou Junji's brain was not working well at this moment, he could see that his wife was unhappy.

Because she wanted to cheat the wife of the Yuan family, but failed.

Unexpectedly, the wife of the Yuan family did not raise the price.

This thing fell into the hands of his wife.

However, it was nothing. It was less than two hundred strings of cash, and it was not that she could not afford it.

She was not unhappy.......

Hou Junji understood a little about women's minds, but not that much.

On the third floor, listening to the excitement outside, everyone in the room also understood what was going on through the offer conveyed by the servant.

Li Shimin looked at Empress Changsun.

"What's going on between the wife of the Yuan family and the wife of the Hou family?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

"It's nothing more than that the wife of the Yuan family had some complaints about the background of the wife of the Hou family." Empress Changsun said: "But there is not much friction between the Yuan family and the Hou family."

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

Li Fu was also curious. This offer was obviously a trap that failed to deceive people but ended up costing him money.

Li Fu looked at his wife.

"There seems to be no hatred between the Yuan family and the Hou family, right?"

Li Shao shook his head.

"I haven't heard of any big hatred, but I heard from my mother that Madam Yuan and Madam Hou don't get along well." Li Shao said.

At this time, Li Yuan also spoke.

"The Yuan family married the Wei family in the capital. Before Erlang ascended the throne, the Hou family was not as prosperous as it is now."

Li Yuan said it in one sentence.

The Hou family was also a famous family in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but in the pre-Sui Dynasty, the Hou family gradually declined, and Hou Junji was not very capable when he was young.

Later, he followed Li Shimin and began to make military achievements repeatedly. His life began to go uphill, and the Hou family also rose along with him.

What really made the Hou family start to have status was the Xuanwu Gate incident.

It was also Hou Junji who put his head on the belt and followed Li Shimin with real swords and guns.

Now, the power of the Yuan family in the court is gradually declining, and it seems difficult to improve by relying on the marriage relationship with the Wei family.

A new emperor appoints new ministers. Hou Junji is close to Li Shimin at the moment.

The Yuan family has no one who can speak in front of the emperor, and the status has reversed. Mrs. Yuan, who once looked down on Mrs. Hou, wanted to pay money at the auction, and Mrs. Hou began to make trouble for her.

"Every auction is really a fight between the rich and powerful families, and there are always more new things to discover." Li Fu had a smile on his face.

Li Shao really absorbed all kinds of knowledge more seriously through an auction.

Especially about the right and wrong between the families in Chang'an City, these are things that I wanted to inquire about but were difficult to inquire about in the past, and they will definitely be useful in the future.

Because in Chang'an, especially among the women, if you are not careful, you will easily be gossiped and offend others.

Some things may not be known to your mother.

"There is nothing new under the sun, but then again, every day is changing with each passing day." Li Yuan smiled and said, "It is also very interesting to see them tossing at the auction."

"Their thoughts are very interesting, and their storehouses are also very interesting."

Li Yuan smiled as he watched the excitement among the wealthy families.

In the past, most of the time, it was the family that was in trouble, and others stood by and watched, but now, the person who stood by and looked at the overall situation was him, the old man.

The situation has reversed.

Although it is not a big deal, it is also a pleasure.

Not only Li Yuan thought so in his heart, but Li Shimin also thought so.

"Huairen, how did you talk to Erlang about the tea trading?" Li Yuan asked.

"My second brother has agreed." Li Fu said, "Instead of letting those smugglers do this business, it is better for us to make this money openly. Although this still cannot prevent people from smuggling tea to the grassland, at least, if this business is done, the court can collect more taxes and earn more money from the grassland or the Western Regions outside the Great Wall."

Li Yuan nodded.

"Well, it's not a bad thing to sell tea."

Because this thing is different from salt and iron, even if it is on the grassland, it's nothing.

But, can the people on the grassland and wild boars eat fine bran?

In Li Yuan's impression, the people on the grassland drink mare's milk and eat mutton.

Tea is light for them.

During the Wude period, they suffered too much from the Turks. Now, through this business, they can get back what they have lost.

Li Yuan also hoped that Li Fu would do business on the grassland and kill a few knives to vent his anger.

Both emperors areThat's what they thought.

They didn't expect that one day, without launching a war, they would make the Turks bleed badly.

The Tang Dynasty, with its vast territory and abundant resources, has far more benefits than these.

The auction entered a more lively stage, and the things taken out also had good prices.

Then, the things that interested the men present also came, especially the men who loved to drink.

When Zhang Deyuan opened the wine gift box and introduced it, not only the men, but also the ladies present were interested.

There was no other reason. In addition to the high-quality Wude wine, there were six fruit wines with different flavors.

There were a total of ten sets of wine gift boxes, which were interspersed among the auction items.

Many people in Chang'an City have drunk Wude wine, but not many people have drunk fruit wine.

Anyone who has drunk it is someone who has participated in the banquet of Jingyang Palace, especially on the day of Li Fu's marriage, when Jingyang Palace held a banquet and took out the good things from home to entertain the guests.

After drinking it, it is also unforgettable, but this thing can't be bought on the market.

The only thing that can be bought is the expensive Wude wine.

Soon, the price went up.

Although it was announced that there was more than one box of wine gift boxes, everyone had the experience of the last tea auction and knew that the later it was, the less the remaining quantity would be, and the higher the price might be.

As the things became less, the competition became fierce.

At this time, there was movement in the private room on the second floor, and people began to participate in the bidding.

A box of wine was quickly called to a high price of 700 guan.

After the servants on the corridor along the second floor finished singing the price, the people on the street were also shocked.

A box of wine, including Wude wine, a total of seven bottles of wine, is 700 guan?

"Chang'an City really has no shortage of rich people."

"This is just the beginning. I think the price will be higher. Don't forget how high the tea was sold last time. This amount of money is nothing to the rich and powerful."

"I think so too."
