Chapter 244 The Youngest Son of the Zhou Family
"Young Master Zhou rewarded you with a thousand pennies!"

Hearing the a cappella from the lobby, Xiang Chong's face suddenly became ugly.

He had originally thought about raising the price to Baiguan with one bite, and calming down the crowd in the Yanyu Building, so as to invite Xianniang to present a song for Li Ke, so as to win Li Ke's favor and pave the way for his official career.

However, Zhou Shuping, the youngest son of the Yanxing Zhou family who came suddenly disrupted Xiang Chong's plan.

Xiang Chong only raised the price to [-] guan, but Zhou Shuping opened his mouth and said [-] guan, really caught Xiang Chong by surprise.

Xiang Chong is greedy for money, and he also has some family assets. It's not that he can't get a thousand guan, but if he rashly bids for a thousand guan, how can he explain to Li Ke where the money comes from?

What's more, Zhou Shuping is the youngest son of Zhou Dingfang, the owner of the salt company, and his family is extremely rich. Even if he has a thousand crowns, how can he survive?I'm afraid that even if he put all his wealth into it, it might not be enough.

When Xiang Chong heard about a thousand guan, he already flinched in his heart.

It's just that he had already boasted about Haikou in front of Li Ke, and he didn't know how to end it for a while.

Xiang Chong didn't know how to reply, but Li Ke who was on the side spoke first.

Li Ke asked the woman serving wine beside him: "Is this the youngest son of the Zhou family always like this?"

Just looking at his appearance, Li Ke himself is also a teenager, but when he talks about others, he looks old-fashioned, as if he is really Zhou Shuping's elder, and the woman serving the wine can't help but smile when he sees it.

The woman replied: "Mr. Zhou has been in love with Xianniang for a long time. Since Mr. Zhou first met Xianniang three months ago, I am afraid that he has spent more than a thousand pieces on her, and even threatened to redeem her body with ten thousand yuan of money. , but Xianniang has no intentions for him, she never agreed."

"Ten thousand guan, it's interesting." Li Ke listened to his words, and there was a smile on his face.

Zhou Dingfang, the lord of the salt industry, spends a lot of money, and his most beloved young son is not bad, but he is also a romantic temperament willing to spend money.

But Li Ke has such a temperament, if he doesn't fight, it's fine, but if he fights, how can he shrink back and be timid.

Li Ke said to the servant boy outside the door: "Two thousand guan."

As soon as Li Ke's words spread, the lobby of the Yanyu Building suddenly exploded.

The people in the hall probably don't know who is sitting in the private room of No. C Tianzi, but who is Zhou Shuping, how can others not know.

The youngest son of Zhou Dingfang's family in Yanxing, leaving aside those aristocratic families with fields and fields, his family wealth is so huge that it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the head of every family in Yangzhou. Who dares to compete with him for wealth in this brothel?
But no matter what other people think, Zhou Shuping didn't give an inch this time. Zhou Shuping didn't know Li Ke's identity. As soon as Li Ke's two thousand guns drove out, he ordered someone to call out three thousand guns, vowing to kill Li Ke. Press it down.

Three thousand coins was far beyond Xiang Chong's expectations. Xiang Chong had already shown his timidity, but when Li Ke heard this number, the smile on Li Ke's face became more intense.

Three thousand guan is just a drop in the bucket to the Zhou family, but to Li Ke, how can it be a muscle?
Although Li Ke doesn't do business, Li Ke's own salary, Li Shimin's reward every year, the tax of the fief, and the property of the farm, Li Ke's net worth is already very solid, and thousands of dollars are not in his eyes.

Li Ke said to the outside: "Four thousand guan."

When Li Kezhi's words came out again, the uproar in the lobby had gradually subsided. On the contrary, everyone put on a look of watching the show, staring in the direction of Room A in Tianzi, wanting to see the famous Zhou family in Yangzhou. How should the son respond.

It didn't disappoint everyone, as soon as Li Ke's four thousand guns were called out, Zhou Shuping's voice came from Tianzi No. A room.

"Six thousand guan!" Young master Zhou replied not to be outdone.

Zhou Shuping eagerly called out the sky-high price of [-] guan. Before Li Ke could open his mouth, Li Ke sat beside him and said palely to Xiang Chong: "Today's banquet is intended to be the host of the last general. The governor will have a lot of fun, who would have thought that even in such a field, I would expect the governor to forgive me."

The development of things has exceeded Xiang Chong's expectations more and more. If the price of six thousand coins continues at this momentum, it will not be enough even if Xiang Chong's entire net worth is put on it.

However, Li Ke looked at the beads of sweat on Xiang Chong's forehead, but smiled and said: "This matter has nothing to do with Xiang Tong's army, it is my king's business, you don't have to worry about it."

After Li Ke finished speaking, he didn't take Zhou Shuping's words seriously. He dipped his finger in the wine, drew a character "eight" on the table with a calm face, and said to the woman serving the wine beside him: "My king's voice I'm tired of screaming, go and scream for the king."

The woman who can serve wine in the private room of the Yanyu Building is not unusual. Apart from her outstanding appearance, she is also a top-notch wit.

Just now Xiang Chong and Qin Huai called Li Ke the governor and His Royal Highness, and seeing such a situation now, they don't know Li Ke's identity.

The woman secretly glanced at Li Ke, her heart full of envy for the fairy lady downstairs, when will he meet such a handsome and noble son as Li Ke, who is willing to spend a lot of money for him?
"promise."

The woman responded, walked out of the room leisurely, and said to the maid downstairs: "Young Master of the Tianzi No. C House will reward you with eight thousand guan."

Eight thousand guan!
As soon as the woman's voice fell, someone whispered in the lobby. Eight thousand guan is enough to open another brothel in the downtown area of ​​Yangzhou. It is definitely not something that ordinary wealthy people can afford at will. Everyone is already guessing Li Ke's identity came up.

What's more, they became suspicious, wondering whether the people in this room just closed their eyes and bid all over the sky, and came to the Yanyu Building to make a fuss.

After a while, Zhou Shuping in Room A of Tianzi couldn't sit still anymore, and if he kept shouting, I'm afraid even he couldn't hold it anymore.

Although the salt shop is rich, it is not his after all, and there is a limit to the money he can take out.

Zhou Shuping walked out of the door by himself, looked in the direction of Li Ke's door, and shouted: "Brother, if I pay [-] guan, can you afford it?"

Li Ke heard the movement outside the house, and walked out of the room in response, looking at Zhou Shuping, who was already a little out of breath, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Li Ke naturally knew why Zhou Shuping was like this. First, he may not be able to spend more money in his hands. Second, he used [-] yuan to redeem Xianniang. Maybe it makes sense to buy a song with it. , has already far exceeded his expectations.

Zhou Shuping was able to bite the bullet and call out the ten thousand guan because of his reputation as the son of the Zhou family, but his heart was already bleeding.

But the name of his son of the Zhou family is worth ten thousand guan, and how much is Li Ke's name worth?
Li Ke supported the railing, looked at the rare Luxi downstairs, who was looking at his fairy with a smile like a flower, and felt that the fairy was so beautiful at this time.

Li Ke said with a smile: "How dare I bear to make the beauty laugh, it must be worth buying a piece of Xianniang's song for ten thousand dollars."

Li Ke's words caught her ears, and the smile on Xianniang's face grew even wider.

Li Kezhi's words won the heart of a beauty, Zhou Shuping looked at the scene in front of him, but jealousy arose in his heart.

In the past, he spent a lot of money on Xianniang, but he never saw Xianniang smiling, but now that Li Ke appeared, Xianniang smiled for the first time, how could Zhou Shuping not be angry.

Zhou Shuping said: "Ten thousand guan, you said it lightly, I don't believe you can really come up with [-] guan."

Hearing this, Li Ke didn't reply to Zhou Shuping's words, but asked instead: "You said I couldn't get it out, so could you?"

Uncle Zhou showed arrogance, and said to Li Ke and everyone including Xianniang: "My Zhou family has eight salt fields in Huainan, and more than ten salt shops. How can I not get out of a mere [-] guan?"

As Zhou Shuping said, everyone in the hall also seemed to be convinced. Obviously what Zhou Shuping said was true. For the Zhou family, it would not be too much effort for them to spend [-] guan.

Li Ke looked at Zhou Shuping's appearance, smiled and said: "You have eight salt fields, and I still have [-] mu of Yongye farmland in Yangzhou. If you can raise the price, I will take [-] mu of Yongye farmland. I will accompany you to the end."
