You sell swords, I go crazy, I am a father in Shengjing

Chapter 397 Stealing the Chicken Fails, Lost Rice!

"How much? How much money will Feng Taiyuan order our family to pay to the Su family?"

In the lobby of the Chen family, Yunxiang looked in disbelief at the young man who came back to report the news. If her daughter Chen Wan hadn't been holding her up, she would have been so frightened that she fell to the ground.

"Return, Madam, the prefect said that a bottle of fragrant dew in the Su family is worth a thousand taels of silver. With the amount of money our government sent people to smash, we have to pay at least a hundred thousand taels to redeem the master..."

The boy was also sweating profusely. He really didn't expect that he had to pay so much money for just destroying a shop.

And the Chen family's mother and daughter, who were sure they heard correctly, were even more pale-faced. Before Yunxiang could speak, Chen Wan had already said sharply:

"Why do we have to compensate the Su family so much money? Then the Su family sued us? Who gave them the courage? There is also Feng Taiyuan, a corrupt official. He has clearly received so much money from our family in the past few years, but now... "

You must know that the Chen family is enjoying the scenery in the south, but their background is really shallow.

It's not that they can't come up with this number, but it will definitely break their muscles and bones if they do.

After all, the Chen family always needs to eat and drink. In recent years, whether it is to curry favor with the superiors or to manage local officials, it has cost a lot of money.

What's more, Chen Wan is about to get married, and half of the Chen family's wealth will have to be used as a dowry for her!

But at this moment, Yunxiang couldn't care less about her children. She immediately interrupted Chen Wan and said to the boy:

"Where is the master? Is there anything wrong with the master? So what did Magistrate Feng say? Did he give us any clear directions?"

Speaking of this, the boy really remembered:

"The prefect only beat our housekeeper, but the master is fine. The master asked you to write a letter to the superiors quickly. The matter this time is a bit big, and Magistrate Feng alone cannot handle it..."

"well……"

Yunxiang clenched her sleeves tightly and left immediately after getting the hint.

When the head of the Chen family was imprisoned and the Chen family could only wait for help from Beijing, the Su family's Twelve Flower Goddess Meeting was successfully held at the most famous Yunlai Restaurant in Qingzhou Fucheng.

In order to appreciate the generous helping hand of some important people, the three people of the Su family directly followed Feng Xi's instructions and spent money to get the list from the master Feng, and prepared a fragrant blind box for each person on the list. .

The so-called blind box of scented dew is a set of samples that they even out from the twelve flower gods, and then randomly put them into twelve boxes for the confidants who came to represent certain important people to choose.

Of course, whoever comes first will pick first. After all, there are twelve blind boxes, and there are only six noble people who helped. No matter how you choose, there will always be leftovers.

And they also allowed these helpful people to each choose a blind box, but only after everyone had finished their blind selection.

As for whether anyone inside was willing to resell their quota, or whether they just gave up, they didn't have to worry too much.

Facts have proved that this approach suits the hearts of these big shots.

Because you can get two small bottles of scented dew at once, even if these confidants who come to the auction on behalf of the big shots don’t get one, they won’t come back empty-handed!

Would their owners think such a rare thing was too much?

It’s not enough for my own use, not to mention that this scented dew is also a good gift.

To say the least, being given a gift in front of so many people means that the person's face is already greater than that of the other people present.

No, after seeing this scene, the confidants who had not had time to stand up for the Su family and sent people to the government office to hold him accountable looked a bit resentful.

But they can't blame the Su family for being good people, they can only blame them for reacting too slowly.

“How did you come up with the idea of ​​putting twelve bottles of fragrance in identical boxes and letting these people do a blind selection?”

In the private room on the second floor of Yunlai Restaurant, Qi Xiao peeled shrimps for Feng Xi while asking her about her whims.

But is Feng Xi the one who takes the credit?

"What are you thinking about? How could I come up with such a harmful move? I'm just afraid that those people will fight over the taste. Whose business will be hindered then? It's not our business~"         Qi Xiao nodded. , those peach blossom eyes fixedly looked at Feng Xi in front of them, feeling that the word "we" in her mouth was so beautiful.

Similarly, he also felt that a certain Phoenix did not understand the ways of the world, but she really understood it.

If those people below knew what twelve samples tasted like, they would have competition and choice.

But if they don't know, and don't dare to help their master to open it, then they won't compete for taste, and it will be a matter of fate to get whatever they get, and it will be a kind of fun.

Now that there are twelve demos in the spotlight, the first round of auctions also started smoothly under the auspices of Su Jing.

It has to be said that although this girl Su asked herself to be a slave to serve Feng Xi, her upbringing and personal cultivation are both excellent.

Especially today, when she was wearing an aqua blue fairy dress and a set of blue butterflies and floral headdress, her watery appearance really made many people in the audience widen their eyes.

And she didn't feel that it was degrading to be so noticed. Instead, she raised her hand gracefully and said:

"Today is the meeting of the Twelve Flower Gods in my Su family. There are three sets of Twelve Flower Gods fragrant dew in the meeting, two of which are open auctions. The first round is a single bottle, the second round is a double bottle, and the third set is open auction. The wheel is photographed secretly according to the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter..."

Following Su Jing's gentle introduction, all the noble people below couldn't help but burst into an uproar.

Because this was the first time they heard that it could be sold secretly, and they sold four bottles per season, which was really a big deal.

However, in order to prevent private communication between certain people, Su Jing did not directly explain the rules of the secret auction, but just briefly mentioned it and started the first round of auction.

"The gentleman among the flowers is quiet and fragrant. Please enjoy the orchids in January."

Upstairs, Feng Xi held her chin with one hand and watched as a beauty held a silver plate and brought a porcelain vase painted with orchids to the stage.

"The base is one thousand taels, and the one-time increase is less than ten taels."

With Su Jing's words, what are everyone in the audience waiting for?

"One thousand one hundred taels!"

"One thousand one hundred and fifty taels!"

"One thousand two hundred taels!"

……

As the first bottle of orchid incense was sold for [-] taels, the remaining eleven bottles of fragrant dew became more attractive each one.

Some people love the nobility of plum blossoms, some love the wealth of peonies, and some love the pavilions of lotus...

In short, after two consecutive rounds of auctions, many of the nobles below were furious with each other, while Feng Xi and Qi Xiao made a lot of money.

And when it came to the third round, the one with the highest price won, these people were even more clever, and Feng Xi was amazed by their acting skills.

However, Feng Xi and Qi Xiao did not watch the whole process, so they secretly left the Yunlai Restaurant.

When they came to Qingzhou, in addition to door-to-door delivery, they also needed to buy some rare items in Qingquan, such as a batch of weapons needed by the militia camp militia.

While Qi Xiao took Feng Xi to the Qingzhou black market, the Chen family's letters were finally delivered to Shengjing at high speed. (End of chapter)
