Scholars are naturally arrogant, and Liu Ruozai is from a champion background, so he does have such an arrogant capital.

Therefore, Ji Qingwen said to him with a smile: "Okay, I can't know how much knowledge you Lao Liu has." But I'd like to ask you to do me a favor today, how about it? ”

Liu Ruozai has a straightforward personality among scholars, and after listening to Ji Qingwen's request, he agreed without thinking about it: "Okay, if the lord has anything, just tell me." If I can do it, I will not shirk it. ”

Ji Qingwen smiled: "This matter is very easy. It's that today, General Wu wants to say a few words to Chen Yuanyuan, but his literary style is not as good as your Lao Liu. Therefore, I just want to ask Lao Liu, you will temporarily rein in some of your edges today, and give this color to others, okay? ”

Liu Ruozai lowered his head and thought about it, sighed softly, and said, "Okay! Actually, I didn't come to meet Chen Yuanyuan today, but my stomach was full of knowledge and was a little moldy, and I just wanted to take it out and dry it. Since the lord has said this, then this matter can be regarded as an end today. Fortunately, learning is not like food, and if you leave it for an extra day, you won't get moldy. ”

The old bustard Li Hong'e saw that Liu Ruozai was called upstairs by Ji Qingwen, and already understood that Ji Qingwen had discussed it with this picky scholar, so he said: "It is said that there is no first in Wen and no second in Wu." Douwen may not be able to distinguish the high and low, why don't we change the trick? ”

A group of spectators thought that their knowledge could not be compared to Liu Ruozai, who was edited by Hanlin and was born as a champion, and was famous, so they listened to Li Hong'e's suggestion and were all silent, which can be regarded as acquiescence.

After being silent for a moment, the spectator who finally had something good to do said: "Old bustard, you are ingenious, don't fight the text, do you want to fight?" The fighting in the courtyard is high and low, and you can be regarded as the first time in the world. ”

Wu Sangui on the second floor heard this, but his heart became proud, and he thought: "I came here with Lord Ji, and I was afraid of fighting Wen." As long as you don't fight for money - that fights for money, Lord Ji is rich in the world, and some are money; Fighting martial arts, he is also a martial artist, and he has been in battle for a long time, and his martial arts are strong, even if he is a martial champion, as long as he comes by surprise and makes a yin move, he can also defeat him. ”

But I heard Li Hong'e downstairs say: "This guest officer laughed." You always want to fight, and the slave family doesn't dare to let you do it! Look at your fierce look, if you are interested, why don't you tear down my store? It's a trivial matter to demolish my shop, in case you alarm Jinyiwei and put you in prison, why do you have to peel off the skin and come out again? ”

As soon as the "Jinyi Guard" and "Imperial Prison" were mentioned, the spectators immediately quieted down, and the air in the atrium almost froze.

I only heard Li Hong'e say: "The slave family has no door, don't take the slave family's beard."

Say gossip to heart. In this way, today we don't fight for literature or martial arts, it's better to fight for money! Whoever pays more, our round girl will accompany him to say a few words and sing a few songs. ”

As soon as these words came out, the originally silent atrium suddenly became noisy again, and some spectators laughed and said: "What was I doing at that time!" It's not that whoever pays more money can meet Chen Yuanyuan privately. Old bustard, are you too greedy for money to do this? ”

"Not really! If you ask for money when you open your mouth, you're afraid that you'll fall into the eyes of money, right? Someone immediately chimed in.

Li Hong'e was not ashamed at all, and still said with a smile: "Everyone, what are we doing business all the way north from the south of the Yangtze River to Beijing?" Isn't it for the word 'money'? You see that we are new to the city, I didn't expect it to be so cold in the capital, and it is about to be winter, and our round girl doesn't even have a winter dress now. You have a great family, and you see that our round girl is pitiful, shouldn't you give her some money to buy her a few clothes? But if you're in a hurry today and don't come with money, that's fine, and you'll be in a good place. ”

Li Hong'e said this very tactfully, and instantly blocked the mouths of those disgruntled spectators.

Ji Qingwen on the second floor heard that Li Hong'e had already picked up the topic, so he shouted loudly without hesitation: "Okay, your old bustard has too much to say." I'll give you a thousand taels of silver! ”

When everyone heard this amount, they immediately gasped, and secretly cursed in their hearts: "Does this bidder understand the rules? As soon as he opened his mouth, it was a huge sum of 1,000 taels of silver, so how could those who had only saved a few hundred taels of silver be embarrassed to raise the price? ”

Everyone was silent for a while, and finally someone raised his hand and said, "One thousand two, I will give one thousand two hundred taels of silver!" ”

"Two thousand!"

Hearing that someone directly doubled the price, the spectators at the bottom whispered again.

Under this noisy discussion, the person who listened to the bidder said timidly: "I...... I...... I'll give you two thousand one hundred taels of silver......"

Ji Qingwen frowned, and said to himself: "Who is this?" If you want to bid, you can bid well, and every time you press me one or two hundred taels of silver, are you joking? ”

Liu Ruozai heard Ji Qingwen's words, covered his mouth and smiled: "Lord Ji, I know this person." He can also be regarded as a famous figure in Jinghua, and he is the eldest son of Zhou Yanru's first assistant. Zhou Shoufu's tutor is notoriously strict, Zhou Gongzi secretly came to this kind of place today, and when he goes home, he will inevitably receive Zhou Shoufu's strips! ”

"Hahaha!" Ji Qingwen smiled when he heard this, "Then if Zhou Gongzi wins me in the fight for money, maybe he will beat him a few more times!" Come on, I'm a good person, I can't bear to see Zhou Gongzi being beaten, so don't be polite to him! ”

After that, Ji Qingwen was again

He shouted, "Three thousand! I'll give you three thousand taels of silver! ”

After only a few rounds of bidding, the price of Chen Yuanyuan's side was fried to three thousand taels of silver. This made a group of spectators stunned, and they all looked up to the second floor, which rich man was bidding so generously and refreshingly.

And Zhou Yanru's son didn't seem to be willing to give up, gritted his teeth fiercely, and squeezed out a new price code from between his teeth: "Three thousand...... Three thousand and fifty taels ......"

Ji Qingwen shook his head, the two mouths broke slightly, and said, "Four thousand taels of silver." ”

This next week, Gongzi can be regarded as admitting defeat, thinking: I met the opponent today, if I put it on those ordinary prostitutes, let alone four thousand taels of silver, it is one thousand taels of silver, and I can play her transparently.

Thinking of this, the son of the "prime minister" of the dynasty no longer held on, scolded twice in his heart, and drank wine and ate food with several companions at the same table.

Four thousand taels of silver, it is true that not everyone can afford it.

With the death of the eldest prince of Zhou, it seems that no one dares to say goodbye to Ji Qingwen anymore, and the newly promoted Earl of Fu Lu is about to win this "fighting money" competition held in the "Yuhua Pavilion".

Unexpectedly, just when Ji Qingwen thought that he was winning, he heard someone downstairs quote: "Five thousand taels of silver, five thousand taels of silver are from me." ”

"Huh?" Ji Qingwen was puzzled, "Why did you kill Cheng Cheng Jin, and you want to come to stir up peace for me?" But it doesn't matter, Lao Tzu entered Beijing this time and brought 200,000 taels of silver, I don't believe that you can't kill you, who don't know each other. ”

So he also followed suit: "Six thousand taels." ”

"Seven thousand taels of silver." The man seemed to speak with an accent in a dialect that came from nowhere, but his voice was majestic and confident.

What is the origin of this man?

With this question, Ji Qingwen raised the price to eight thousand taels of silver.

That person actually didn't have stage fright, not like Zhou Yanru's son, who increased the weight by one hundred taels or dozens of taels on the ground, but skipped the bid of nine thousand taels of silver, and directly bid to ten thousand taels of silver!

dared to be so high-profile in the capital, except for himself, Ji Qingwen couldn't think of a second person, which made Ji Qingwen a little unbelieving, and was just about to open his mouth to continue bidding, but he heard Liu Ruozai behind him remind:

"Lord Ji, don't follow other people's ways. I don't know where you came from, bastard, I know that you are determined to win, so I deliberately followed the price all the way, wanting you to waste the silver. When the price went up, he said lightly, 'This master is still rich, and he will bow to the wind in the lower hand', won't he save this 10,000 taels of silver? It's not good, he doesn't have this 10,000 taels of silver at all! ”
