Chapter 15 Xia Ziheng's identity

At this time, the lord of Lingcheng woke up and sat next door, angry and angry, the house was stolen last night, the vault did not lose anything, but the secret room in the study let people sneak in, lost a lot of treasures, the thief is nowhere to be found, I didn't expect to dare to blatantly take things to Yipin Pavilion to gamble and sell. Because blood ginseng is very useful, it is bought at a large price.

Then he gambled and sold a few things, although it was not as precious as blood ginseng, but it was also extraordinary, and the things that Yipinge took out were naturally not bad, and Li Chu's dagger was also sold for 70,000 taels.

"The following bet is to sell Longzhi grass, with a reserve price of 100,000 taels." The gambling continues.

Li Chu sat up slightly straight, "What is this dragon root?" "The reserve price is so high.

"It is extremely difficult to grow, it takes hundreds of years to get a plant, and it is said that taking it can not only prolong life, but also increase strength." Yun Mo explained to Li Chu in a low voice.

"Good stuff."

"Ali wants?"

Li Chu nodded.

Yun Mo picked up the pen and wrote a million taels directly on the paper, Li Chu glanced at it curiously, and was shocked, money is not spent like this, a loser, he reached out and took the paper, and tore it up, "It's really a loser, you don't feel sorry for me." ”

Yun Mo was helpless, so he could only let her.

"Alley, all my money is for you? In this way, I am not afraid of spending indiscriminately. ”

Is this guy proposing marriage in disguise, how anxious is this to get married, Li Chu ignored him, and silently rewrote down 200,000 taels, this is her bottom line, can you get it.

"I didn't expect the sect master of Danyang Sect to come too, aren't those old guys fighting endlessly to get the Purple Cloud Bead, how can they still have time to participate in the gambling fair." Chu Jue lay lazily on the couch.

The people of the Danyang Sect were sitting diagonally opposite them in the seventh box. And directly opposite them, No. 8 seemed to be a young woman, who could not be seen faintly because of the light veil. No one noticed that Xia Ziheng quietly changed to an inconspicuous position after seeing the person opposite.

In the end, 1 million taels of dragon angelica grass was obtained by No. 2.

Li Chu smacked his tongue, he didn't expect that a single plant of dragon angelica grass could be sold for one million taels, were these ancients too rich?

Li Chu actually wants to know the person next door, this guy is too rich and woody. Just thinking about it, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, Wan Qiyu opened the door, and saw a handsome young man standing outside.

Li Chu looked back, but he didn't expect it to be an acquaintance, "Song Hanshi?" ”

Song Hanshi stepped into the room with a warm smile on his face, "Miss Li, we meet again." ”

Feeling the coldness emanating from Yun Mo's body, Li Chu smiled dryly, "Yes, what a coincidence." ”

"This one is for Miss Li." Song Hanshi handed Li Chu a box.

Li Chu opened the box and was stunned, "Long Zhicao?" ”

"I guessed that Miss Li liked it, so I bought it."

"Not necessarily." Yun Mo said coldly, Ali will find her what she likes.

Yun Mo remembered that Song Hanshi was the man who was with Li Chu in the underground palace at the beginning, and Li Chu was still wearing his clothes at that time, and he was immediately hostile to Song Hanshi.

Song Hanshi turned a blind eye to Yun Mo's hostility and only looked at Li Chu.

"Hehe, you're so polite. It's a very expensive gift. ”

Song Hanshi thought that Li Chu had refused, but who knew that Li Chu continued, "But since it is your kindness, let me buy it." Li Chu handed over a silver ticket.

Chu Jue and the others looked at the silver ticket with a face value of 1,000 taels, and drew it, sure enough, if there is a bargain, it is not Li Chu.

Song Hanshi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly chuckled again, "Okay." He took the silver ticket and handed the box to Li Chu.

"Then thank you Brother Song." Li Chu, who got the bargain, smiled, his eyes were bent into crescents, and his voice was a little kinder, and Song Hanshi's eyes flashed.

"Say goodbye below." Song Hanshi didn't stay for long, it seemed that he just wanted to come over and give a gift.

"Brother Song, go slowly." Li Chu waved his little hand to bid farewell to the local tyrant.

Seeing the door being closed, Xia Ziheng gave Li Chu a thumbs up, "Little Senior Sister, you are so powerful, you spent a thousand taels to buy this dragon Zhi grass, but people spent a million taels." ”

"It's a good deal." Chu Jue said lazily, not knowing what he meant.

"Hehe, I've won prizes." Li Chu rubbed back to Yun Mo's side, the stingy guy just now seemed to be angry, Li Chu held his hand and comforted him.

Yun Mo turned his head not to look at her, but he didn't shake off her hand, although Li Chu nominally bought it from Song Hanshi, but after all, he still accepted his love. What's more, Yun Mo was still thinking about Li Chu's clothes when he wore Song Han, and he was very depressed when he thought that the first person Li Chu saw when he grew up was not himself.

The gambling and selling continued, and Ziyunzhu was naturally placed at the end.

"Here is the last item of this conference, the Purple Cloud Bead."

As soon as Song Yi's words fell, there was an uproar below, some surprised, some in disbelief, and some angry. More is the voice of questioning the authenticity of Ziyunzhu, during this time, the various factions in the rivers and lakes have made a big fuss because of the competition for Ziyunzhu, this matter has spread throughout the rivers and lakes, how can Ziyunzhu appear here?

"Everyone, don't be impatient, the contemptible person guarantees with the reputation of Yipinge, this is indeed the Purple Cloud Pearl." Song Yi calmed everyone's emotions and continued to preside over the meeting, "Everyone, please start bidding, the reserve price is one million taels." ”

The reputation of Yipingo is still very good, so most people choose to believe it.

And Li Chu and a few people chose to watch the excitement.

Gu Qingchuan, the sect leader of the Danyang Sect, was annoyed in his heart, some time ago, he lost a lot of manpower and material resources in order to compete for the Purple Cloud Bead Sect, but a few days ago he found out that it was fake, and he was immediately furious, he didn't expect that he would be played around. The things in the forest dungeon were full of weirdness, but Jiang Shenbi's old man couldn't see it clearly, which led to the split of the three major sects, but he didn't expect the real Ziyunzhu to appear at this time. At the moment, he secretly decided to take the Ziyun Zhu in his pocket at any cost, carefully weighed the big man who came today, and silently calculated how much to bid.

In addition to Gu Qingchuan, who is bound to win, there are many people who are also eager to try, after all, there is only one Ziyun Bead, and if you miss it, there will be no more. There are also people from other major sects, and there are many people from major families and families, and they are all thinking about the right price for a while.

At this time, it is psychological warfare.

After some careful consideration, Gu Qingchuan finally wrote fifteen million taels, which was already his bottom line.

This round proceeded relatively slowly, after all, many people were bound to get the purple cloud beads, so the bidding was especially cautious, and the bidders hesitated for a long time.

When the final result was delivered to Song Yi, the eyes of the audience were on him, and everyone was eager to know the final result, but fortunately, Song Yi was also a person who had seen strong winds and waves, and he seemed to have no pressure under the attention of the audience.

"The highest price is fifteen million taels, congratulations on the seventh." For this result, Song Yi was a little surprised, the lord didn't make a move?

Li Chu has starry eyes and has made a fortune!

Yun Mo looked at Li Chu's appearance and couldn't help laughing, "It's better for us to get married early, so that my money will be yours." ”

"Hehe, no hurry. Didn't you say what was yours was mine? ”

"Well, what's mine is yours, but what about yours?" Yun Mo looked at Li Chu with burning eyes.

"My natural ...... It's still mine. "Li Chu is not fooled.

"......" Yun Mo touched Li Chu's hair helplessly.

Although Gu Qingchuan got the Purple Cloud Bead as he wished, he couldn't be happy, he was afraid that the Danyang Sect would become the target of the public, and the only way to do it was to take the Purple Cloud Bead for his own use as soon as possible.

It was also Gu Qingchuan's luck to be able to get Ziyunzhu smoothly, because most of the other masters were not on the scene, after all, no one expected the appearance of Ziyunzhu, and the juniors were not sure how much they should bid, so they cheapened Gu Qingchuan, who was in charge.

The gambling fair finally ended, and Li Chu couldn't help but sigh, even if Yipinge was only held once a year, it would be enough to make money. Thinking that he has made a lot of money today, Li Chuxin is satisfied, fifteen million taels, haha, he has made a fortune.

With a "bang", the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and when I looked back, I saw that it was Su Ya, the second lady of the City Lord's Mansion, who pushed the door in, "Chu Jue!" ”

It turned out that Su Ya saw Chu Jue when they entered the door, and finally couldn't bear to come to him until the end of the gambling fair.

"Ya'er!" Su Jin followed closely and grabbed her, for fear that Su Ya would do something again, and seeing that it was Yun Mo, Chu Jue and others, he hurriedly said, "You are disturbed." ”

Immediately after that, two more people came in, one was Su Qin who had seen her before, Li Chu looked at Su Qin, only to see that she bowed her head slightly, still looking soft and weak. Another middle-aged man, who looked extraordinary and dignified, was probably the city lord he had never met.

I didn't expect the few people in the box to be so young and outstanding. And Su Qin, who was following behind Su Xing, saw Yun Mo's eyes flash.

"Master Chu, Yun Gongzi, Miss Li, Xia Gongzi, this is my father."

"It turned out to be the lord of the castle." Chu Jue shook his fan lazily.

Yun Mo watched coldly.

Li Chu smiled and bowed his head to them, is this another good show?

"Ya'er, what's going on?" Su Xing asked in a deep voice.

Su Ya pointed at Chu Jue, "Dad, I want to marry him!" ”

The pastry that Li Chu just picked up fell on the table with a "pop", this girl is really tough, she confessed in public last time, and this time she actually proposed in public! Were these ancient people so open?

Yun Mo reluctantly pulled down Li Chu's hand that had stopped in mid-air and carefully wiped her with a handkerchief.

Even Chu Jue couldn't react for a while, there were many people who admired him, but it was the first time that he was begged for a kiss in public.

For a while, the box was quiet and the atmosphere was weird.

"Nonsense!" Wake up and get angry, how can there be such a girl's family asking for a man so unrespectingly.

"Daddy, I'm going to marry him, I won't marry anyone but him!" Su Ya made a posture of not marrying.

Su Xing has always doted on this daughter, and almost everything goes along with her, although Su Ya's actions at this time are a little shocking, but seeing that the other party is Chu Jue, if the two families can get married, Su Xing has no objection.

"What does Lord Chu think?" Although Chu Jue has a great reputation in the rivers and lakes, he still treats him as a junior in his heart.

"Huh." Chu Jue sneered.

Su Xing frowned and said displeasedly, "What do you mean by this!" ”

"Lord Chu means that your daughter is delusional." Xia Ziheng kindly translated for him.

"That's it!" Chu Jue stood up and patted Xia Ziheng's shoulder and said appreciatively, "I didn't expect you to understand me quite well." ”

Heh, Xia Ziheng slapped his hand away.

"Young people are too arrogant, my daughter is lucky to take a fancy to you." Wake up and be furious, these people actually don't take him seriously.

"Chu Jue, where am I not worthy of you!" Su Ya was rejected by Chu Jue three times and twice, and she had no patience at all.

"Huh." He was still greeted with a sneer.

"I've said it so many times, it's your looks that don't match him." Xia Ziheng is impatient, this Miss Su is sick.

"Xiao Hengheng, you really know me." Chu Jue threw a wink at Xia Ziheng.

Xia Ziheng turned his head silently, intending not to speak again.

"Chu Jue, you dare to speak out!" Su Xing said that he was going to make a move on Chu Jue.

Chu Jue: "......" is obviously said by Xia Ziheng.

Sensing that something was wrong, Su Jin hurriedly stepped forward to grab his father, whispered a few words in his ear, and left with his children angrily.

"What's going on?" Li Chu was very puzzled, seeing that the two sides were about to fight, it was actually over like this?

"Yipinge has rules, no one is allowed to fight or make trouble here." Yun Mo gave her a puzzle.

"It seems that Yipin Pavilion is not small, and even the city lord has some scruples."

……

After the gambling conference, many people found Song Yi and asked him about the origin of Ziyunzhu, but they could only learn that Yipinge was only gambling and selling on his behalf. Su Xing also hoped to learn from Ichiphangku who had stolen the blood ginseng and dagger, but he was unable to do so. Not to mention that Yipinge really doesn't know the identity of that person, Yipingo's rule is that it will never reveal the privacy of guests, and if guests don't want to disclose it, they won't ask, Yipinge only does business, and doesn't ask where it comes from.

Li Chu returned to the inn with a large stack of silver tickets earned in Yipinge, and smiled from ear to ear, now he is a little rich woman.

Chu Jue said disdainfully, "It's not promising, just order the silver ticket to make you happy." ”

Li Chu glared at him, and Yun Mo touched her hair, "He's jealous." ”

Li Chu was instantly healed.

Chu Jue: "......" I'm jealous? Under Yun Mo's dangerous gaze, he stopped talking very interestingly.

"Ziheng, who did you see in Yipinge?" Xia Ziheng's actions could not be concealed from Yun Mo, he secretly changed his position, and almost didn't speak, obviously hiding from someone.

"Uh," Xia Ziheng glanced at Chu Jue, as if he had some scruples about him.

Chu Jue threw his fan angrily, "What kind of eyes are you, what I can't hear, am I an outsider in your eyes?" ”

Yun Mo, Li Chu, and Xia Ziheng gave him an affirmative look, yes, you are an outsider.

Chu Jue angrily picked up the chair and moved a few steps away, and sat down with his back to them, "Hmph! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Say, leave him alone." Yun Mo spoke.

"That, I saw my ninth sister." Xia Ziheng scratched his head, not afraid of her, but afraid of trouble.

"Ninth sister? It turns out that you still have relatives. Li Chu was very interested, I hadn't heard him mention his family before, and I thought he was also an orphan.

Seeing Li Chu's doubts, Xia Ziheng explained, "She is my cousin Xiahou Mingyue, ranked ninth, I have always looked down on her, and our relationship is not good." ”

"Wait, the surname is Xiahou, then why do you have the surname Xia......"

"My real name is Xiahou Yun."

"So you're using a pseudonym?" Li Chu looked at him dangerously.

"It's not counting, my word is Ziheng, the surname Xiahou, walking the rivers and lakes is too conspicuous, so I took the surname Xia."

Li Chu was silent, and said, well, you have to have a stage name when you walk the rivers and lakes. "Yun Mo, yours won't be a fake name, right?"

"It's not."

Fortunately, Li Chu was relieved.

"What does your family do, it's famous?" Could it be a prince and nobleman?

"Well, the Xiahou family is one of the four major families."

"Why are you hiding from your cousin?"

"I'm afraid of trouble." Xia Ziheng thought for a while, "Xiahou Mingyue should be married in more than a month, how can she appear here at this time, does she have any conspiracy?" ”

"Maybe you want to choose a wedding gift." Li Chu guessed, you think too much, boy.

"Is that so?" Xia Ziheng scratched his head, "But she does like her future husband very much, and it is really possible that she chose the wedding gift for him." ”

"Oh? Are they in a good relationship? "Doesn't it mean that the marriages of large families are all commercial or political marriages, and there is no emotion at all?

"What's good, that fiancΓ© was snatched by Xiahou Mingyue." Xia Ziheng was very disdainful of this cousin's behavior.

"Huh?" Li Chu was very interested and motioned for Xia Ziheng to continue.

Over there, Chu Jue also pricked up his ears and listened to the gossip of the big family.

Although Xia Ziheng doesn't like to mention Xiahou Mingyue very much, he still has to satisfy the curiosity of the little senior sister.

"Her future husband's name is Ling Yue, who is the deputy general of Pingyang City, and he has already married, and I heard that he has a very good relationship with his wife. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, half a year ago, my ninth sister met Ling Yue by chance, fell in love with him, and asked for a marriage decree, with my cousin's identity, it was naturally impossible to be a concubine, so Ling Yue's original wife was demoted to a concubine, and married her cousin half a year later. It's just that Ling Yue's wife is also a fierce son, and she doesn't want to be a concubine, so she asks Ling Yue for a letter of resignation. Xiahou Mingyue snatched people's marriage, and it is said that he secretly wanted to harm Ling Yue's wife. ”

"Then Ling Yue doesn't resent her, so can she be happy if she marries him?"

"Xiahou Mingyue has always been the most favored by my uncle, and she has developed an arrogant temperament, and she has a lot of means."

"What about Ling Yue's wife?"

"I don't know."

"Alas, a pair of bitter mandarin ducks." Li Chu sighed, this evil feudal society.

"By the way, I still have to go back when Xiahou Mingyue gets married." Xia Ziheng said depressedly, it was almost time to go.

"Why don't we go check it out too?" Li Chu looked at Yun Mo, wanting to see what the capital looked like, maybe he could see the emperor and princess.

"I'll talk about it later." Yun Mo didn't want Li Chu to return to Pingyang in his heart, but there were her relatives there after all, and he couldn't selfishly prevent her from recognizing her relatives.
