Chapter 26 The Angry Gu Family

"Mother, don't worry, the ten private rooms on the second floor are restricted areas. No one else can enter without permission. Otherwise, it will be a slap in the face of the He family. This is the protection the He family provides to the distinguished guests." Gu Xiaoxiao laughed softly. road.

Before she came, she had inquired clearly that the private room on the second floor was very confidential, except for the temporary owner of the private room who could come in and out at will, no one else had the right to come in.

"That's good!" Mrs. Ye breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words. In fact... it wasn't that she was afraid of the old lady and the others, but because their mother and daughter were weak, and if they got into trouble, she was afraid that her daughter would suffer.

The mother and daughter were talking, but out of the corner of Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes, she saw that someone had already climbed up the stage in the hall on the first floor.

The man just raised his hand lightly, and the originally noisy hall instantly became quiet.

"Everyone, He Rufeng, the second son of the He family, must have seen it before. The He family is open for business. Thank you for your support. Among the treasures sold today, there is a second-grade spiritual fruit Suzaku fruit, which is no small matter. , I am not talented, I am here to preside over this sale by the order of the owner, and all the treasures for sale will be won by the one with the highest price." After He Rufeng finished speaking, he bowed to everyone, and went to the first private room on the left on the second floor. Fang Xiang bowed down respectfully, then raised his head and glanced at the window. After seeing the people inside nodding slightly, he said with a smile: "The sale of rare treasures has officially begun."

Gu Xiaoxiao's complexion is a bit unsightly. The place He Rufeng looked at just now is Tianzi No. [-] private room where the royal family lives. Judging from the reaction of He Rufeng, the second master of the He family, he will only be like this when the crown prince arrives. Bow and salute.

Robbing things with the royal family, even if she has brought enough money now, she has no idea.

In fact... even if she can't eat the Suzaku fruit, as long as she can get the core, she will be satisfied. Her intuition tells her that as long as she is willing to spend all her money and water it with spiritual spring water, she should be able to plant a Suzaku fruit tree and have a good harvest.

But... can she ask the prince for fruit stones?This is too suspicious.

So... do your best to spend money, if you can get Suzaku fruit, she will dig it up immediately and take out the core first.

"The first treasure that my He family sold today is... a three-month-old Snow Winged Horse. Everyone knows that the world has undergone changes in the past few years. Not only have there been more natural and earthly treasures, such as Zhuqueguo and others also appeared some unheard of and unseen spirit beasts before, this snow-winged horse, this is the first time I, He Laoer, have seen it." He Rufeng said this, and immediately asked someone to bring in an iron cage. There is a snow-white pony. The pony is very cute. It has two wings on its back. Although the wings are not big, they can be seen clearly. It is completely different from ordinary horses.

"Everyone can see clearly that this snow-winged horse is really like the legendary Pegasus. Now this world is different from the past, and we have benefited a lot. I wonder if there is Suzaku after eating the meat of this little pony. As for the effect of fruit, of course... Maybe if it is raised up, it may really be able to ride a horse soaring in the sky. Someone consigned this little pony to my He family. The base price is 5 taels of silver. Got it." He Rufeng laughed loudly, but what he said was very deceptive.

Not to mention other people, even Gu Xiaoxiao is a little bit moved, after all... This little pony looks not only cute, but it might really be able to ride and fly when it grows up. The spirit beast that appeared only a few years ago might have miraculous effects like Suzaku fruit. Of course, she was reluctant to eat it, and others might want to buy it back and slaughter it for a big meal.

"6 taels of silver..."

Immediately someone bid, it was a middle-aged fat man sitting in the lobby on the first floor.

"Sixty-three thousand taels..." A white-haired old man spoke, his voice was like a bell, and he looked like a great martial arts practitioner.

"7 taels..." Someone offered another price, but it was a woman in her twenties with a rough look.

"Everyone... the meat of this snow-winged horse may really have the miraculous effect of Suzaku fruit, but no one has tried it, and I don't know who can have such a good fortune. I am the first to taste the meat of the spirit beast. It is still in its infancy. The meat is fresh and tender, and everyone knows that even the most common kind of low-end spirit fruit tastes extremely delicious, what about spirit beasts?" Seeing that everyone bid more actively, He Rufeng smiled brightly and began to confuse everyone .

After all, if people consign these things to the He family business, their He family can also get a commission. The higher the selling price, the more he earns.

"This man is real, he has been encouraging everyone to eat this little pony!" Gu Xiaoxiao saw that the little guy's eyes were wide open, and he looked pitiful, and he was really reluctant to part with it.

This little guy is really about to become a genius, and he still wins sympathy.

"You like Xiaoxiao?" Ye looked at her daughter and asked softly.

"I like it, but what I want to buy is Suzaku fruit. I can't buy other things." Gu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth.

Mrs. Ye nodded slightly when she heard the words, Suzaku fruit was indeed the goal of their trip.

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't bid, but the price of the snow-winged horse was rising steadily. It didn't take long to reach 20 taels, and there was still a rising trend.

At this moment, in the Tianzi No. [-] wing on the second floor, the Gu family sat there with gloomy faces, especially the old lady and the current Duke Gu Weide, whose faces were almost frozen.

"What's the matter? Did you find someone?" Gu Weide asked coldly when he saw the housekeeper hunched over.

"I would like to report to the Duke of the country, the servants have led people to search all over here, but they did not find the eldest lady and the eldest lady." The housekeeper Gu Hai replied with a look of panic.

"These two bastards!" The second wife, Mrs. Chen, couldn't help standing up, and cursed sharply, "It's a very important matter today, but they have disappeared, and the 30 taels of silver they promised to give have not been seen." , This is a big event deliberately trying to delay us."

"How much money can we come up with now?" Gu Weide asked in a deep voice.

"30 taels." Looking at her husband, Chen said anxiously.

"Damn it!" Gu Weide hit the chair with his palm, and the armrest was shattered in an instant.

"Father, you also know that today is not the same as in the past. The world is changing, and everyone in the world is martial. They wish to gain more power. His Royal Highness is more concerned about his own strength. I only have a fifth-rank inferior spiritual root, and I can barely cultivate. I haven't worked hard for years. If there is no Suzaku fruit to improve my aptitude and skill, how can I be worthy of him? If I can't compare with his concubines in martial arts, how can I secure my position as a princess? You must buy this Suzaku fruit for your daughter." Gu Liyan's tears were about to come down, she stomped her feet and said, "I knew... Ye Shi and Gu Lisheng have no good intentions!"
