Chapter 253: Lady Liu
The auction continued, and the small climax came one after another, such as the hundred-year-old Huang Jingzhi and the eighty-year-old Jinlinghua, all of which were bought at a high price of several million.
And when one of the highlights of this auction, the three-hundred-year-old Huoyun ginseng, appeared, the audience suddenly became boiling.
Almost without the auctioneer saying anything, a group of wealthy families, wealthy pharmacists, famous doctors, etc. were already rushing to shout the price, and in just a few minutes, the price was raised to more than 8 million.
And according to the current bidding situation, the price will at least double or quadruple.
Mu Chen looked secretly funny, these rich people are really greedy for life and afraid of death, as soon as they saw these things that can prolong their lives, they immediately threw money desperately like crazy.
"Forget it, the old man, my family is thin, so let's not fight with them first. Li Lao said depressedly.
"Poverty is the original sin. Mu Chen couldn't help but sigh with emotion, looking at the three-hundred-year-old fire cloud ginseng on the stage, he also felt pity in his heart.
However, he missed and photographed the ten secret grasses, and he was already satisfied, but he was not very sorry.
Thinking about it, Mu Chen turned his head and looked at Shen Hengfeng, looking at his appearance, he should be determined to win Huoyun Ginseng today.
And most of the people present knew that he was the son of the Shen family, and they were very face-saving and didn't grab this fire cloud ginseng with him.
There are only two people who have been participating in the bidding, which makes many people wonder.
One is Xiao Xuan, who seems to have come from other places, and everyone doesn't know him, and the other is a middle-aged man who looks very ordinary in clothes and appearance, but has a calm bearing.
"Ten million. Xiao Xuan's face was proud, and he increased the price by two million in one go.
"Eleven million. Shen Hengfeng said in a deep voice.
"Twelve million. ”
"Thirteen million. ”
The two of them were already on the bar, and they glanced at each other, and they both saw the firm determination in each other's eyes.
It's just that the price of 13 million is almost at the top for a 300-year-old Huoyun ginseng, and if it goes up, it will be a bit of a loss.
You must know that the highest auction record of wild ginseng in the past three hundred years was only 10.3 million.
Xiao Xuan was a little annoyed and hesitated to continue bidding.
Although Shen Hengfeng seemed to be calm, he was actually very nervous, because he represented the Shen family in the auction this time, and what he really wanted was the last miracle medicine for the finale.
As for Huoyun ginseng, his father Shen Chuan only gave a price of fifteen million, and if he exceeded this line, he had to give it up.
"Fourteen million. Xiao Xuan gritted his teeth and said.
"Fifteen million. Shen Hengfeng pressed forward step by step, giving Xiao Xuan a lot of psychological pressure.
Xiao Xuan stared at Shen Hengfeng angrily, her eyes were about to burst into flames, and she was depressed why every time she bid for something, someone always had to get along with her.
"I give up. Xiao Xuan said hatefully.
Shen Hengfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, a relaxed smile appeared on his face, and nodded at Mu Chen with a smile.
Mu Chen shook his head lightly, and pointed intently at the middle-aged man who seemed to be inconspicuous at all.
He had a hunch that the middle-aged man would definitely bid again.
Sure enough, just as the auctioneer was about to make the final decision, he made a bid.
"Sixteen million. The middle-aged man said unhurriedly.
Shen Hengfeng's smile was slightly stiff, and his face was a little ugly.
The faces of everyone present also changed slightly, and they discussed in a low voice, not knowing where this middle-aged man came from, he dared to be so ignorant, even the Shen family dared to offend.
"Shen Dashao, the contemptible person is just bidding for this thing on behalf of Mrs. Liu, don't blame it. The middle-aged man bowed slightly to Shen Hengfeng, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Mrs. Liu!"
Shen Hengfeng's face froze, and his expression instantly became extremely solemn.
The others were also taken aback, and there was an uproar, and they all looked at the middle-aged man with strange eyes, with a little more awe in their eyes.
Seeing their reaction so big, Mu Chen was surprised and said, "Old Li, who is Mrs. Liu, why does she seem to be very big?"
Li Lao said in a deep voice: "This Mrs. Liu is not an ordinary person, but a legendary woman in Yanjing, noble birth, erudite and talented, and her appearance is captivating, she can be called a peerless generation of beautiful women, and is known as the head of the 'Three Immortals of Yanjing'. ”
"At the age of twenty, he was already a doctor of three materials, fluent in 11 Chinese, proficient in qinqi calligraphy and painting, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, astronomical and geographical, almost everything. ”
What's even more awe-inspiring is that she began to take over the Liu family at the age of 20, and in only three years, she used her extraordinary wisdom, skill and ability to make the Liu family leap from a first-class family to one of the super wealthy families in Yanjing. ”
Mu Chen was secretly speechless when he heard this, and couldn't help but say, "So powerful?"
"What do you think?"
Li Lao said angrily: "Not only that, she married the Ye family, a top family, when she was twenty-three years old, but after marriage, she was only called Mrs. Liu to the outside world, and she did not live as the daughter-in-law of the Ye family. The most unimaginable thing is that the Ye family, a dignified top family, actually acquiesced to her behavior. Imagine the woman who can make the Ye family have to be convinced, you can imagine how powerful she is. ”
"It's really amazing, and it's a terrible mess!" Mu Chen was amazed and exclaimed.
As a woman, it is not easy to break out of the world in society, and it is even more difficult to support a super wealthy family.
But Mrs. Naliu has done it all, and she has won the admiration and respect of countless people, which is not something that anyone can do.
"Hmph, and there's something you might never have dreamed of. Li Lao suddenly said mysteriously.
"What is it?" Mu Chen said curiously.
"It is said that after Mrs. Liu got married, she has always lived in the Liu family, and she has not really married into the Ye family, just like the princess in ancient times married a horse, and the princess only lived in her own princess's mansion. "Li Lao said.
"Can this be?" Mu Chen was really surprised this time, and couldn't help asking, "What about their married life, it's over?"
"Who knows, anyway, I only heard that half a year after the marriage, her husband died, and Mrs. Liu didn't go to her husband's funeral. But what is strange is that the relationship between the two families is still as close as ever, and no one in the outside world has been able to figure it out. "Li Lao said.
Mu Chen was speechless, it seems that this Mrs. Liu is really magical, and every time she acts, she is extremely unexpected.
He was really a little curious about Lady Liu now, and wanted to see what the rumored Lady Lady Liu looked like.
At this time, Shen Hengfeng got up suddenly.
He bowed to the middle-aged man and said, "Since it is Mrs. Liu who wants this fire cloud ginseng, then Hengfeng naturally has no reason to continue bidding. ”
"On behalf of Mrs. Liu, I thanked the Shen family for her concession. The middle-aged man said politely.
"Don't dare. Shen Hengfeng hurriedly waved his hand, sat down, and saw Mu Chen looking at him with concern, and reluctantly replied to him with a wry smile.
Mu Chen didn't know what to say to comfort him, there were many people in Yanjing City, and with his current identity and net worth, he was not qualified to speak for the time being.
Suddenly, the auctioneer coughed lightly and said loudly: "Everyone, next, what is about to make a grand debut is the most important grand show of our auction, please keep your eyes open and see clearly, don't miss it." ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone immediately tightened their expressions and stared at the stage intently.
This time, many of them came specifically for this last auction item, and no one dared to take it lightly.
