Chapter 224: Admitting Defeat

Huang Jie clapped his hands, and his own subordinates sent paper and pencils, and listened to him: "The so-called secret shooting, that is, if you think that my family's integrated water and land breeding technology is worth a thousand runs, then write a thousand pieces on the paper, if you think it's not worth it, three hundred and five hundred by the king's bid, and then I read it privately, and I don't quote the price given by each family, only take out the ten highest prices to transfer is." ”

When everyone heard this, they were in an uproar, who can be sent to participate in such a big event, who doesn't have some catties in his stomach, the regulation of this kind of secret shooting has actually existed for a long time, but it is not called secret shooting but called Bomai. In the western market of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, there were treasures brought by Hu Shang in this way from the Western Regions, and it was not uncommon for them to be transmitted to the Song Dynasty.

However, at this time, no one will correct Huang Jie's description of Bomai as a secret shot, but he began to think about how much this land and water breeding technology is worth, so there was a lot of discussion, but the wrinkled lady stroked her palm and chuckled: "Okay!" This kind of charter makes sense! ”

After speaking, I saw that she took the pen and paper and wrote on the paper, and the others didn't have the heart to talk about it when they saw it, so they also had the courage to start bidding, and Huang Jie didn't forget to remind everyone to indicate their names on the paper.

After a while, among the one hundred and two, only three of them felt that their strength was not good and did not make a bid, and the remaining ninety-nine families all wrote the price, and after folding it, they were collected by their subordinates. At this time, Yao Zheng also came forward to warm up, had a drink with everyone, and made a wine order, which also heated up the atmosphere.

But said that when the banquet happened to be in the spring, summer, autumn and winter, Zheng Yue'e of the Zheng family said "Don't let the autumn wind bloom, and the winter plum **** should come in spring" won a full applause, but this lady was scheming again, and raised her glass to Huang Jie and said: "When I stepped into spring in March, Yu Zeng heard an absolute, the upper link is the smoke lock pond willow, and the lower link is the hook of the Han domain." Later, I learned that it was from the hands of Lord Bo Yao, the lord of Huangzhou, and his nephew, and he didn't dare to hide it today, but he wanted to consult with Huang Xiucai. ”

Huang Jie hurriedly got up and said, "Don't dare!" Can't! Zheng Niangzi has this Yaxing, I am naturally accompanied, if there is abruptness, I hope that the lady will forgive me, please come out! ”

Zheng Yue'e rolled her eyes, and said with a smile: "Jun imitates Tao Zhu's sake, and seeks the skill of pigs and sheep, which is outstanding, and I wish to be safe." ”

This uplink said, since someone wrote it with pen and ink, everyone didn't think there was anything strange at first glance, but it was just a long couplet for the occasion. There is a lot of ink in the stomach to see that this is a coincidence of a joint word, the first two sentences say things, and the last two sentences are ligature words, which should be regarded as an entry-level coincidence.

This outstanding "group" and the "home" of wishing for an easy family correspond to the king and the sheep and the peace and pig that appear in the couplet, and the whole couplet is a boastful couplet, but it is really in the heart.

When this couplet was written, everyone came to see Huang Jie, but Huang Jie shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Zheng Niangzi's couplet is exquisite, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to do it for a while, I'm ashamed!" Ashamed! How about I punish myself with three cups? ”

Everyone was surprised when they heard it, how difficult is it to have such a simple ligature. Besides, Huang Jie still has the title of the head of the county trial, and after contact on this day, he can also see that there are definitely more than five cars of talent in his belly, how can he admit defeat?

However, this kind of elegant thing for the joint entrance examination is not easy to coax, and after Huang Jie admitted defeat, he simply punished himself three times, so he also wanted to stop the matter. Who knew that Zheng Yue'e didn't let it, and her face, which was still laughing, also became cold and said: "There is still a couplet: the thunder can't move, just close the beginning and the end, I am as stable as a rock." ”

As soon as this couplet came out, I listened to the "poof" sound during the banquet, but many people couldn't help but squirt out the wine in their mouths, even the ladies of the Zou family, the Wang family and the Zhao family hurriedly covered their mouths with their sleeves, but they all knew that they were all laughing.

Huang Jie's face changed, and he instantly turned red, what kind of couplet did Zheng Yue'e come up with, it was just scolding!

But Huang Jie's face still changed again and again, and in the end, he still gave Zheng Yue'e another look, and said with a smile: "I admit defeat, or punish myself for three cups?" ”

Zheng Yue'e could tolerate it when she saw such an excitement, and was thinking about getting some pair to satirize, but Huang Jie said to the audience again: "You happen to be at the meeting today, and the official family and my uncle's edict have also been met, and the good time for the boy and the Su family is on the twenty-sixth of this month, and you will be here to drink a glass of water and wine!" ”

As soon as everyone heard this, a few people immediately realized why Huang Jie didn't have a relationship with Zheng Yue'e, and as for whether others want to understand it or not, when they can figure it out, it's none of Huang Jie's business.

But Zheng Yue'e, I don't know if she figured it out or didn't figure it out, I saw that she was angry, and she was about to get up and leave the table with her silver teeth, but she still asked the female steward next to her to stop her. Yao Zheng will also come to the matter, so he also helped Huang Jie to take over the matter, and after everyone chanted a few rounds of wine, someone brought a plate with a list on it, thinking that the list should be the ten born by Bomai.

It was immediately read out by Yao Zhengzhong, and the ten winning bidders were the Ruyang Zhou family in the Ten Hui Laozhong, the Zhao family of Hangzhou maritime merchants and the Wang family of grocers, the Zeng family of Tanzhou grain merchants and the Sun family of Suzhou Dahu, Zou Rong Zou family and Zheng Yue'e Zheng family, and the remaining three were several grain merchants who could only be counted as small households.

Seeing that among the ten families, the ten elders accounted for seven, and everyone had nothing to be unwilling, this kind of Bo buy was the one with the highest price, and he didn't dare to make a high price without the courage and vision, so it's no wonder who came.

Since then, the banquet has come to an end, Huang Jie and Yao Zheng invited everyone to go on the painting boat again, and then went down the boat in exile, and went upriver after lifting the water into the Yangtze River, and arrived at the head of the water market in Huangzhou at the second watch, and there was a carriage waiting here early, and then returned to Huangzhou City after picking up everyone.

Because the four female dependents are also considered to have good status, Huang Jie arranged them to be the best hotel in Huangzhou (similar to a private hotel), and when Zheng Yue'e was sent to the door, she fell behind again, and found an opportunity to say to Huang Jie: "But don't you dare to provoke Yu?" Afraid that Yu will haunt you from now on? ”

Huang Jie's brain trembled when he heard it, and he said that the lady in Yangzhou was bold and spicy, and now that he saw it, he didn't dare to talk, but he took two steps back and crossed his hands.

Then Zheng Yue'e snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! I advise you, and don't think too highly of yourself! ”

After speaking, he twisted his waist and left, calling Huang Jie a cold sweat in his head, I really couldn't understand when and where this lady from Yangzhou provoked her.

Early the next morning, there were more than 30 housekeepers who asked the permanent resident Wanhuang Lianzhuang to learn canned meat technology by himself, and six of the seven old people who won the bid also left people to learn canned meat technology and integrated breeding, but Zheng Yue'e's family wanted to return to Yangzhou on the same day, and asked Huang Jie to send someone back with her.
