"Okay......" Qi Xiang looked left and right, and his heart became more and more surprised. He is becoming more and more curious now, and he vaguely understands the true meaning of the tea herb tea party.

In an instant, Qi Xiang realized that the pot of camellia that the White Lotus gave him probably had other deep meanings. At that moment, he turned around and hugged the camellia in his arms.

Sure enough, the staff member didn't care, and then turned around and said, "Sir, please come with me." ”

Qi Xiang nodded slightly, followed behind the staff, first left the room, and then followed a long corridor, after some roundabouts, a huge hall suddenly opened up in front of him.

The huge hall is spacious, about more than 300 square meters, divided into two floors.

At this moment, there were already many people wandering in the hall, and the outfits of these people were similar to Qi Xiang's. Uniform black cloak, with a mask on his face, hides his identity.

Qi Xiang came to the hall, and the staff withdrew.

Some people glanced at his arrival and didn't care at all.

Qi Xiang quietly walked to the corner, and slowly looked around. It was found that not only were those people uniformly dressed, but each of them also had something in their hands.

It's just that what everyone has in their hands is a little different. Or a pot of plants and flowers, or some weird and tightly wrapped object, or so on, but there is nothing else like it.

Qi Xiang was thoughtful, and suddenly thought of a possibility, and his heart suddenly pounded: "Should it be, this is ...... A gathering of cultivators, right? ”

When Qi Xiang was imagining, there were more and more black-clothed cloaked people entering the hall, some on the first floor, some on the second floor, one up and down, everyone scattered separately, very vigilant.

"That white lotus, it should be among them." Qi Xiang secretly paid attention, but he could only judge the height of those people by the cloak, many of them were of moderate shape and looked similar, and it was difficult to lock on to the target.

"Welcome to ......"

Suddenly, someone spoke, and Qi Xiang froze when he heard the sound.

At this time, a familiar figure walked out of the corridor on the second floor, greeting everyone with a smile. It is worth mentioning that, unlike the others, he did not wear a black cloak on his body, let alone a mask.

Therefore, Qi Xiang also saw very clearly that this person turned out to be Zhu Hongwu.

At first glance, Qi Xiang was naturally very surprised, and when he saw Zhu Hongwu standing up, he realized that the organizer of this party was Zhu Hongwu.

However, in addition to being surprised, he was a little relieved, and even a little taken for granted. After all, in his impression, Zhu Hongwu himself is a legend.

As a public figure, most of Zhu Hongwu's life deeds have been examined. It is known that he was born at the beginning of the last century, and spent his childhood in war-torn and turbulent times.

As the lowest level of society, Zhu Hongwu's rise to the ground is naturally very bumpy and legendary. When he was a child, he fled with his parents, and came all the way to the then Huahua World / Shanghai / Sea!

Soon after arriving in the city, both of his parents died, leaving him alone and living a life of wandering and begging.

During this time, he joined a well-known gang at the time, and it is said that he also worked as a tea maid and a small servant for Jianghu bigwigs such as Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng, and was quite appreciated.

The specific process can refer to the experience of Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li.

All in all, after years of hard work, Zhu Hongwu has emerged in the gang, and many people feel that he is the rising star who is most likely to succeed Du Yuesheng and Huang Jinrong and become the next gangster.

But to everyone's surprise, when Zhu Hongwu was only one step away from the road of the big guy, he actually chose to wash his hands in the golden basin at the last moment, saying that he was going to study abroad.

A gang member actually said that he was going to study abroad, and he didn't know how many pairs of glasses he had broken.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Zhu Hongwu insisted on leaving despite the retention of a group of brothers. As it turned out, the path he chose was very correct, just dodging the storm that followed.

A few years after Zhu Hongwu went abroad, the Anti-Japanese War was won, and then the War of Liberation followed. In three years, the world was unified, and then the gang members, who were originally very free, immediately ushered in a catastrophe.

During that period, gangsters like Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng did not end well.

Only after Zhu Hongwu went abroad, he stayed away from the rights and wrongs on the rivers and lakes, studied in Europe for a few years, ran the company while studying, and his career was booming.

More than 20 years later, after the mainland's reform and opening up, Zhu Hongwu returned to China as soon as possible, turned himself into a patriotic overseas Chinese, and then devoted himself to foreign trade in tea.

Strictly speaking, the tea trade in the entire Taihu Lake region is booming, and Zhu Hongwu has a share of the credit.

In the blink of an eye, more than 30 years have passed, Zhu Hongwu's business is still booming, and he has established a deep cooperative relationship with large and small tea merchants and tea shops in the entire Jiangnan region.

It is for this reason that even if Zhu Hongwu himself does not have a tea garden and does not plant many acres of tea trees, he has become the industry leader recognized by everyone and deserves to be the king of tea.

What's even more rare is that Zhu Hongwu didn't hide his experience in the first half of his life at all, and often used himself as an example to warn everyone not to go the wrong way. Or that if you realize that you have gone astray, you must quickly correct it.

Anyway, in the past 30 years, Zhu Hongwu has been keen on charity and has helped many people in need, so he is naturally respected.

But Qi Xiang didn't expect that such a character would also have a connection with the cultivation world.

Qi Xiang was thoughtful, and suddenly reacted, and felt that this thing seemed to be normal. After all, Zhu Hongwu is now almost ninety years old, but his face does not look old, and he is full of energy, and his voice is like a bell.

At the beginning, Qi Xiang thought that this was the health regimen of the rich.

But now that I think about it, maybe there are other factors at work......

"It's great to be able to be here for this gathering."

At this time, Zhu Hongwu smiled and talked eloquently: "For the purpose of the party, everyone must be more clear, and I won't talk nonsense anymore." All in all, I would like to wish you all the best in the best of luck! ”

After a brief speech, Zhu Hongwu left, very neatly.

Qi Xiang was suddenly a little speechless, feeling that Zhu Hongwu was really not conscientious enough, and he didn't make his words clear at all. He had a guess, but he didn't know if he was right.

However, Qi Xiang is not stupid, Zhu Hong left on May Day, and he paid close attention to the movements of other people.

Looking around, he found that some people holding things in their hands seemed to have a tacit understanding and dispersed directly, and then walked into the small rooms next to the hall.

As soon as those people entered, they put their things on the table and sat down again, as if they were setting up a stall, waiting for customers to come to their door.

In fact, someone did come to the door. Some followed into the room and closed the door. As for what the two men talked about in the room, outsiders don't know.

"I see......"

Qi Xiang understood, and immediately found a room nearby to sit down, and set the camellia in order.

Just then, someone walked in and closed the door. In an instant, in the not spacious room, only Qi Xiang and that person looked at each other, staring at each other with big eyes.

"Ahem......"

After a while, the man couldn't help but speak, breaking the silence: "What is this pot of yours?" ”

Qi Xiang could also hear that the person was deliberately pressing his voice and changing his voice, but judging from the sound quality, this person should not be very old.

"Wait......" Qi Xiang's heart moved, looking up and down at it, thinking that it shouldn't be so coincidental.

Seeing Zhu Hongwu, Qi Xiang inevitably thought of Zhu Qiao.

You must know that a few days ago, Zhu Qiao had visited Zhu Hongwu, and he was very courteous, perhaps because he knew that there was this party and wanted to participate......

"It shouldn't be such a coincidence." Qi Xiang looked at his eyes, his gaze was not so powerful, he could penetrate the mask, so he was not sure of the identity of the person who came.

At the same time, his movements were not slow, and he easily tore off the thin cloth covering the camellia. In an instant, the eyes of the person opposite lit up obviously, and he was obviously very interested in this pot of trees with beautiful shapes and colorful flowers.

The man watched for a moment, then put down the things in his hand, pushed them to the center of the table, and motioned for Qi Xiang to take a look.

Qi Xiang glanced at it, and saw that the things were tightly wrapped and packed in boxes. The box was unlocked, he reached out, and with a flick of the lid, a dry thing came into his eyes.

"Huh!"

When Qi Xiang saw it, he was also a little surprised. Because the contents of the box, it is a ginseng.

He didn't know much about ginseng, and he couldn't tell if it was a natural wild ginseng or an artificially grown variety. Anyway, ginseng is not small, the beard and stems are distinct, and the wheel corridor of people should be more valuable.

Qi Xiang sniffed lightly, and he could also smell a rather strong ginseng fragrance.

“…… Change? ”

The man spoke, his tone full of antiquity.

Qi Xiang smiled, finally understood the rules of the game, and then shook his head decisively. Although he didn't know the value of the ginseng, he understood the preciousness of the eighteen-scholar camellia.

If the Eighteenth Bachelor is an ordinary camellia, it must be that ginseng is more valuable. But camellia is a spiritual plant, and in comparison, the value is definitely far higher than that of ginseng.

At the very least, Qi Xiang is sure that if he agrees to change, he will definitely suffer.

"Hey......"

The man seemed to understand this fact, shook his head in disappointment, and then said without giving up: "I can increase the price." ”

Qi Xiang still shook his head, he was full of curiosity about this party, and naturally he didn't want to complete the transaction so quickly, he also wanted to see what good things others had in their hands, maybe he could pick up something missing.

There is an idiom called selling at a price, and Qi Xiang is now similar to this mentality. Camellias containing aura are very rare, there must be someone who is interested, and he can't just make a move.

The most important thing is that such a good thing, even if it is smashed in his hand, he will earn it......

Don't say anything more, as long as the collection and tickets, please support more, thank you.
