In the Daqing Dynasty, Longhu Mountain, where the status is second to none, actually has people participating in today's auction meeting, maybe there will be some big people in the future, so it seems that this ship is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Chu Xianzhao thought.

Chu Xianzhao suddenly asked, "Auntie, I have a question for you." ”

"What's wrong?" The eldest lady felt that Chu Xianzhao's face had always been a little weird.

"Like the big sects of Longhu Mountain and Wudang Mountain, whether they send Taoist priests to slay demons and eliminate demons, or to walk the rivers and lakes, and now they are coming to participate in the auction conference, don't they all need silver?

The eldest lady explained impatiently: " As I expected, they should not be here to buy things, but to sell things, whether it is a top sect like Longhu Mountain and Wudang Mountain, which has been inherited for thousands of years, or those gangs that are not in the stream, they all have secret elixirs in their hands that are difficult for ordinary people to get, these things are very attractive to the powerful people of the family, such as Huayu and the occasional typhoid fever in early summer, all of them are used to use the cool mouth of the Dao Danmen after a few days, and the medicine is in addition to the disease, the price of these pills is a few copper coins, and more than a few thousand taels of silver, and even some of them are not bought by the royal family if they want to buy, like a big sect like Longhu Mountain, the golden pill elixir refined is not an exaggeration to describe it as pricelessBut this is only the tip of the iceberg of their income in Longhu Mountain, they will occasionally go down the mountain to hand-draw rune paper for people who have the joy of housewarming, and paste it in the hidden corner of the new house to dispel the yin qi, but also to guard against small ghosts at night, and the charge at one time is even more than the four-grade officials' Yulu, not to mention that the dynasty will give them a large amount of worship money every year, so these Taoist priests can live freely, and cultivate immortals every day without worrying about eating and drinking. ”

Chu Xianzhao nodded thoughtfully, don't say that it is the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain, there are hundreds of maids and servants in the Shen family's mansion, Shen Huayu said that her pocket money is thousands of taels of silver every month, and Chu Xianzhao, who has lived in the Dayin Palace since he was a child, has never been very clear about the concept of money.

He still remembers that when he was very young, his father once took out a piece of broken gold and a copper coin and asked him to choose one of the two to like, he stupidly chose the copper coin instead of gold, because he felt that the copper coin had patterns on it and the gold did not, and Chu Yingyang took both of them, and smiled at himself proudly, which made his father cry and laugh.

Later, I grew up a little bit, and I also understood that the value of a piece of gold is incomparable to thousands of copper coins, but whether it is the Dayin Dynasty or the Shen family, they must have some extremely profitable projects behind them, so they can put on a lavish style in front of the people, if there is no strong background behind them, just three meals a day will give them a headache, and who can live a quiet and happy life?

The emperor not only has to eat enough for himself, but also to let the people eat enough to rule the world, and the Taoist priests also have to sell pills to make money for the people to kill demons and demons in order to maintain the fairy wind and Taoist bones, those who regard money as dung, who does not have the strength to speak loudly after eating a full meal first?

Money is not omnipotent, but it doesn't need to be omnipotent, we just need it to do what it can do, and leave the rest of what it can't do to people to do, otherwise what's the use of asking people?

"Longhu Mountain will definitely be waiting for you. Chu Xianzhao exhaled softly, and his stiff face gradually returned to normal, reining in the killing machine.

Previously had a fight with the Great Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, Yingliyang also because he was pasted a heavenly calamity talisman by the immortals of Longhu Mountain, if the people from Longhu Mountain he wanted to kill with his own hands, but now this Longhu Mountain still tries to avoid it, and after Yingliyang returns to him, the two of them will go up the mountain to avenge the revenge of the Thunder River.

Chu Xianzhao followed the eldest lady to walk in the aisle of the cabin, and was surprised to find that the interior space of this painting boat was much larger than what he had seen when he was on the shore, and the body fragrance of the celebrities wafted away here, no matter how rich and luxurious the decoration on this ship was now, it could not hide the heavy smell of fat powder, even a blind person who came here could guess that it was a pickled place with dirt and dirt.

There are a total of five floors of the boat, and there is an extremely long spiral staircase connecting the various floors of the boat, and each floor is a huge space, where dozens of tables and stools wrapped in splendid embroidery are placed, which can be described as extremely beautiful.

The ladies and merchants of Sunset City chatted and chatted here, the feminine maids pushed the four-wheeled dining cart back and forth, all kinds of delicate dim sum melons and fruits could be eaten at will, and there were various secret rooms for guests and the maidservants on the painting boat, all of which were covered by gold and jade screens.

Chu Xianzhao was a little dizzy by the smell of fat powder in the air, the three of them walked up the stairs to the highest part of the painting boat, and after reaching the last step of the stairs, their eyes suddenly brightened, the decoration of the following floors could not be compared with this place at all, the decoration here was extremely luxurious, and the gorgeous atmosphere came to his face, and his eyes were in a trance as if he was watching mountains of gold and silver piled up here, and the walls in all directions were covered with gold leaf, and there were all kinds of books written with dark red pen and ink.

What amazed Chu Xianzhao the most was that there was a lifelike crystal flying dragon hanging on the roof of the ship, it was this flying dragon that provided most of the light for the ship's room, I don't know what material of crystal was used to chisel it out, the ground was covered with a soft wool blanket, the light of broken gold was faintly visible in the snow-white wool, and there were all kinds of fine wine and delicacies on the table inlaid with gold and jade, and there were even many Nanlu fruits that Chu Xianzhao couldn't name, which really opened his eyes.

For the first time, Chu Xianzhao felt that his eyes were not enough, and the guests who were invited here passed by him, they all seemed to know the eldest lady, and they simply exchanged pleasantries with her, there were about a few hundred seats here, and they were all full.

The position closest to the auction table is a round table for four people, here is the most important person present to be seated, Li Zhaoyi, Zhu Gaotao, Murong Shanyu, Yang Yu and their children are the biggest names closest to the auction table.

Chu instantly summoned several of them to be eligible to sit down, including several high-ranking courtiers, or shopping mall figures whose status was second only to the eldest lady.

After the eldest lady and Shen Chuxia took their seats, Chu Xianzhao exhaled lightly and sat in this position that could show his status.

I don't know if fate or coincidence, Chu Xianzhao looked up and happened to look at Zhu Zhai, the prince of the Zhejiang and Han dynasties, Zhu Zhai also noticed it, put down the teacup in his hand, and subconsciously pressed his hand on the handle of the knife on his waist.

The eyes of the two met at this moment, as if the enemy was very red when they met, but the red-eyed person was just Zhu Zhai, Zhu Gaotao, the king of Zhejiang and Han, glanced at him lightly, and the corners of his mouth were symbolically slightly upturned.

Chu Xianzhao was not frightened by the gazes cast by this powerful father and son, but more took his eyes off them, for some reason, he looked at the fat King of Zhejiang Han and always remembered the King of Hou Chu who was slaughtered by his own hands.

The Empress and her daughter are separated by a table from the King of Zhejiang and Han, there is no conversation between the two princes and kings, it is said that the Empress of the Court is a woman who does not let the eyebrows of the figure, after the death of the King of the Court, she was the princess of the Court and became the ruling princess of the Court, and finally became the Empress of the Court step by step, and the blood stained on her hands along the way is more than a thousand taels.

Although she claims to be a woman, she shows no less power than the princes and kings of the past dynasties, and some people even describe her as Chu Xiaohua of the Southern Continent, and tens of thousands of out-of-court warriors are loyal to her.

Murong Shanyu killed a lot of people on the way to become the empress, and the martial arts style of the court was shallow, but in her generation, it was completely changed, and she was particularly tolerant of the young students who gave her books and changed things one after another, and the most famous thing was that an old Confucian knelt in front of her, and wrote the details of the court that needed to be changed on the open scroll with a pen, because the content was so large that it was not written until nightfall, but the empress who left the court personally held a lamp for him to illuminate, and the woman's mind can be seen.

The Tang King who was known as the beautiful sideburns, when he was young, he was famous for his bold poetry in the southern continent, after the death of the previous generation of Tang Wang, the style was greatly changed, and his poetry and literary attainments were infected by the loss of his father's emotions to the point of forgetfulness, and he was often able to write a poem in one stroke, which can make people chew for a while and then grief and can't extricate themselves, and was praised by the Tang poets as "the wolf's big cone pen, which can be the best poetry in the world." ”

As for the appearance of Zhou Li, the king of Dayue, who is bald on the top of his head and even has some dark spots, can be said to be different from Li Zhaoyi, and can even be described as a roe deer, looking at these princes and kings, whether it is the king of Tang or the king of Zhejiang and Han, they should be about the same age as Chu Xiaohua, they are all people with the king's breath in the world's dynasty, and anyone who bears the king's breath occupies a part of the world's luck, and whenever he dies, there must be a red meteor across the sky.

A generation has a generation's grievances, and Chu Xianzhao can be regarded as a bond with Zhu Zhai now.

Although Chu Xianzhao was still distracted, many people's eyes had already converged on the table on his side, except for his particularly eye-catching white hair, it was impossible for anyone who stayed in Setting Sun City these days not to know this well-known illegitimate son of the Shen family, and the fact that Qing'an Longxian accepted him as an apprentice was leaked out by someone, so that His Royal Highness the eldest princess, who had always been above the top, would naturally receive the most curious eyes here.

"Is Shen Fox's illegitimate son right?" a tea merchant in the back looked at the extremely abrupt white hair and asked his fellow copper merchant beside him, but the fellow wine merchant on the right hand rushed to answer: " The name of this wild species is Tang Huang, it should be his mother's surname, he suddenly came to Luoyang City before the Chinese New Year, no one had ever heard of him having an illegitimate child before, and now he has become the designated heir of Shen Sanqian, and it didn't take long for him to come to Luoyang, and his reputation became known all over the city, even Qing'an Longxian accepted him as an apprentice, and saw that Shen Sanqian's eldest wife did not, and now they are all on an equal footing with him, and in the future, the Shen family will not have to fall into the hands of this kid. ”

"Is that the eldest lady of the Shen family?!This old woman is actually willing to let an illegitimate child take the throne, is there any unsightly change behind this? The copper merchant couldn't help but sigh.

"I don't know about this, but I heard that Shen Sanqian had a serious illness in Guhe City, and now his days are numbered, and he may die at any time, so he hurriedly sent this illegitimate son who has not seen the light to the sunset to help him take the throne, you see that the illegitimate son doesn't look like him at all, it's really hard to say if it's his species. The wine merchant deliberately suppressed his voice.

After thinking for a moment, the tea merchant couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If it is really as you guessed, Shen Sanqian cultivated a young man with wrist strength to be his successor, and it is reasonable for him to be over fifty years old and have no children under his knees, but it is a pity that this Shen family's family business is actually falling into the hands of outsiders." ”

Around Chu Xianzhao's origin, their discussion began to become intense, telling them one by one about the celebrities who had interacted with Shen Sanqian when they were young, guessing which one was the biological mother of this illegitimate child, what kind of gentleman Shen Sanqian was when he was young, and those romantic affairs could not be finished for three days and three nights.

It doesn't matter if he is Shen Sanqian's biological son or not, but the strength he shows is not an exaggeration to describe it as amazing.

In the end, their gaze at Chu Xianzhao gradually changed from presumptuous to jealous, after all, the person who could move the entire Falling Sun City with his swordsmanship in less than a year could only be done by this white-haired young man not far away.

"In short, he is a difficult child, even if Shen Sanqian returns to heaven soon, but with him standing by Mrs. Shen's side, it will be difficult for us to shake the foundation of the Shen family for a while, so we can only make friends with him. ”

"Regardless of whether he is biological or not, Shen Sanqian has found a loyal dog to go home to watch the door this time, or a dog that will bite people to death. ”

"Then Mrs. Shen brought him here today, which can be regarded as going out to walk the dog, hahaha. ”

Yi Chu Xuanzhao's hearing could naturally hear these gossips, but his face still did not change, and his eyes fell on the face of the eldest lady, maybe she also heard it.

"The tiger doesn't need to care about the pheasant's cry, it can either turn a blind eye or kill it silently. The eldest lady noticed his gaze and said something like this.

Chu Xianzhao was slightly stunned, and slowly chewed on the words of the eldest lady.

Even if it is the Shen family's dog in the eyes of everyone for the time being, Chu Xianzhao is also lucky, he is not without any allies, the huge wealth contained in this family is simply immeasurable, and it will inevitably become a huge boost to his rise in Yingyang in the future.

The pheasant's cry will eventually disappear from the ears or mouths of the beasts, and the hungry beasts are ready to feast, and their plates are right in front of them.

——

The lights around seemed to dim, the glamorous maids took out the silver bells and shook them gently, and the voices of the VIPs present slowly lowered down.

A graceful and vague figure walked out through the pale golden curtain, and the men's voices began to riot, like a beast before estrus, Chu Xianzhao blinked, and it seemed that a very remarkable figure came out of it.

With the termination of the crisp footsteps, a purple dress appeared in the center of the round platform, like the pause of the ding dong spring rain, and the beautiful woman faced these coveted eyes, raised her eyebrows slightly, and her eyebrows were as light as the distant moon.

Although Chu Xianzhao's face did not change, his eyes were still attracted by the slender thighs exposed under the purple skirt, and he walked down and slowly admired it, and finally saw the bewitching and soft face, which made him stunned for an instant, this woman's eyes were actually golden, just like the eyes of the royal family members of the Zhao family.

The women of Sunset City like to wear red and gold brocade clothes, but very few people wear purple clothes to go out, except for the widow purple widower blue and other sayings, purple dresses are too high requirements for women's appearance, and women's posture is slightly weaker may be dominated by the purple clothes on the body, but this situation obviously will not appear on her.

The woman in purple was dressed in a magnificent purple dress with exquisite workmanship, the skirt was really to the root of the woman's thighs, there was no fabric, the pair of seductive and slender thighs made people's hearts hot, a red cuff perfectly outlined her waist, and her body was full of enchanting and charming atmosphere, I don't know if it was an illusion, the golden eyes were like a kaleidoscope spinning, and between her gaze, even the soul was about to be seduced by her eyes.

She moved lightly, holding a small golden hammer in her pure and slender hand, and walked around the round platform with graceful steps, which made some men in the auction hall anxious, and they couldn't wait to pounce on the round platform now and press her to the ground, listening to her pour out her words and pour out their lust.

I don't know if it was deliberate on her part, she walked around the round platform unhurriedly, and greeted some of the regular guests present warmly, there seemed to be a lot of people who knew her here, and people kept shouting her name, purple or something, Chu Xianzhao couldn't hear it clearly.

"Who is she, it seems that many people know her. ”

Chu Xianzhao didn't ask the eldest lady this question directly, but asked Shen Chuxia, who was sitting next to him, and Shen Chuxia lowered his voice and said: " Her name is Ziluo, no one knows what her surname is, no one knows where she usually goes, she will only appear when the auction is held, some people say that she is the illegitimate daughter of the first emperor Zhao Huailong, and she is a wandering princess left in Luoyang City, because the color of her eyes is golden, but no one knows whether the truth is true or not, but it is true that there is a huge background behind her, there was once a drunk rich businessman who wanted to slighten her, and the next day the body was thrown into the Qinhuai River, and no one even found out how she died, maybe no one dared to check. ”

Chu was stunned for a moment, and felt that this woman's face was indeed similar to Empress Zhao, especially the lips were like Qing'an Dragon Immortals, and there were all kinds of charms in a gentle way.

Compared with Queen Zhao's cold golden eyes, her pupils are like a pool of soft golden water, which can arouse the hidden lust in a man's heart at will, I am afraid that many people present can't help but press their hands on their abdomen, and even after this auction meeting, they will immediately go to the bewitching woman on this flower boat to be ruthless, and then they will be satisfied to lift their pants and get off the boat.

Chu Xianzhao was attracted by her eyes, and soon she also noticed that this young man with a particularly special hair color and pupil color slowly stopped walking around the round platform.

The two looked at each other as if they had met their own kind in a lonely jungle, and the woman's face showed a little disbelief.

For many people, Chu Xuanzhao's purple pupils were indeed a little special, and the place where her gaze fell also attracted everyone's attention, and when she found out that the person she was looking at was actually the illegitimate son of the Shen family, jealousy inevitably appeared in her heart.
