The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Old Master Wang looked at his grandson, the child who would take up the responsibility of their lineage in the future, with a gratified smile on his face.

"Zi'er, it's good that you can think of these things, but you haven't thought about this matter enough, and you have thought too simply. Think about it, what you can think of, others can naturally think of it, so the competition becomes fierce. Why does the tea shop hold such an auction? To put it bluntly, they want to make money.

You will see on the day that a box of special tea must be sold at a sky-high price. There are people who are better than you. Our Taiyuan Wang family is indeed a high-ranking family in Chang'an City, but the prosperous branch of the Taiyuan Wang family is the Jinyang Wang family, and our Qixian Wang family has been in a state of talent decline. It has only now recovered. Compared with financial resources, it is absolutely impossible to compete with others.

On weekdays, you have many high-ranking officials and nobles in foreign affairs, and you have a good understanding of their background. Yun, you should also know that our family can barely support you with a monthly expenditure of 1,800 guan.

But you will know when facing the scene of the 28th Auction. 1,800 guan is not a lot of money in the eyes of other aristocratic families. "

"In this regard, we have to admit that we can't compete with them."

"So, you can go to this event to see the scene and broaden your horizons. As for the gift boxes of ten sets of special tea, we don't have to dream about it. Even if we get it, we won't keep it for long. The Jinyang lineage will find a way to get it. Since the result is certain, why should we make a fuss?"

After hearing the old man's words, Wang Fuzhi hurriedly bowed.

"Grandson has learned from this." Wang Fuzhi said: "Then this time, grandson will just watch in a low-key manner and will not bid."

Old Master Wang nodded.

"In two or three years, you will become an official. At that time, your family will certainly help you find a good future. In these two or three years, you must also work hard to improve your knowledge, vision, and ways of dealing with people. These are all learning.

If you want to gain a foothold in the court, you can't just rely on reading. That's why I let you go out often, interact with people of your age, see more people, and see more things." Old Master Wang said slowly: "You are still young, and you will see more things in the future. There is no need to be obsessed and bound by these things in front of you."

The Taiyuan Wang family, a branch of Qi County, does not have a deep foundation. The main reason is that the family background is not so rich, and it can't withstand the expenditure of money.

Secondly, since it is a bidding, there must be more aristocratic families involved. It is a good story for those who have the ability to compete.

Like their family, they don't have the ability to compete, but they still want to show off, which is called offending people.

Seeing that the child who will take the lead in their family will be an official in two or three years, how can they let this only child offend others?

"Auntie is right, grandson understands." Wang Fuzhi bowed and responded.

He also loves tea. Not only does he like the tranquility when tasting tea, but he also likes to make friends with tea.

This is a reason and a channel for him to get together with the children of other aristocratic families.

But if it is like what Aunie said, then there is really no need for him to fight.

"Auntie, what is the attitude of the people in other families towards this auction?" Wang Fuzhi asked.

"When the news reaches them, they must want to try it, and it is estimated that they have already started to prepare." The old man smiled and said, "After all, as you said, if they really get it, it is also an opportunity."

The old man slowly sipped the tea, his expression indifferent.

Sometimes fighting may not necessarily achieve the goal, and not fighting is also an attitude.

Some people who don't have such a deep background naturally have the same idea as the old man of the Wang family, but in their opinion, what if there is a chance?

Let's go and see first. If we can fight for it, we may be able to get it.

In this auction, the special tea can be won in one sentence: money is enough.

All the wealthy businessmen in Chang'an City are also looking forward to this day.

What do people want when they have money?

Status!

In the eyes of these wealthy businessmen, they are not short of money, but they lack status and social status.

Such a special tea may be able to exchange for what they lack.

Even if it is not used on themselves, it is good to use it on their children.

No matter how much money it costs, if it can be exchanged for a recommendation from a noble, the whole family's strength, and the children and grandchildren, it is worth it. After all, if it succeeds, from now on, it will be a different status.

For wealthy businessmenFor them, their status can be humble, but if they can ask for an opportunity for their descendants, they are willing to pay no matter how much money they have.

For them, money can be earned again if lost, but there are not many opportunities to change their status.......

Lu family.

"Father, after hearing it in the teahouse, I went to the teahouse to verify it. This is all true. You often go to the palace. This special tea......"

Father Lu shook his head.

"Speaking of which, I have never seen special tea, nor have I drunk it. I am afraid that only those close ministers of your majesty have that opportunity when they discuss political affairs with your majesty in the Liangyi Hall..."

Father Lu thought about it, and then said: "Perhaps, you can ask your uncle to visit the emperor..... It's a pity..."

"What's a pity?"

I heard that the emperor was not in Da'an Palace recently. There are rumors that the emperor was out of the palace and stayed in the Jingyang King's house these two days.

In this case, your uncle will not be able to see the emperor.

......

After those who had played mahjong with Li Yuan in Da'an Palace knew that the date had been set for the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, they immediately asked their families to start preparing.

"Go and bring me the account book."

"The warehouse needs to be re-inventored. Report to me the details of how much money can be embezzled now."

"Send someone to find out what other families think of this matter."

"Go to the tea shop more often and ask for more information."

In Chang'an City, there are many people who have ideas about the special tea gift box, and everyone has started to prepare.

While preparing, they cursed King Jingyang for being a piece of shit.

Ten boxes of tea, so little, not enough, not enough at all.

Holding such a so-called auction where the highest bidder wins.

Isn't it obvious that people who want to buy tea will start to raise the price and make a profit from it?

This money is earned, this is an open conspiracy!
