Chapter 171: Coveted by Many
Bai Cheng leaned back on the sofa behind him for a long time, then raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a faint smile in his eyes: "Don't say it, I really need your help in this matter." Isn't the auction going to take place in a few days? In this auction, I have a must-have lot. ”
"Then Young Master Bai can tell me, what exactly is the item you want to get?" Shao Bin didn't think so at first, picked up a glass of wine placed on the coffee table and drank it.
Bai Cheng's eyes flashed with an uncertain light, and then he continued: "At the auction, there will be an auction of a detoxification holy grass Qiankun grass, I need to buy this herb, and I also need your help to lend me some money." ”
After the words fell, the two people in the box were stunned for a moment, especially Shao Bin's brows furrowed slightly, and then he said directly disapprehantly: "Although your Bai family is not as good as the Dong family, it is also a medical family with a history of several decades, can't even an ordinary herb be auctioned?" Need to borrow money from us? ”
"You are wrong about this, this is not an ordinary herb, but a detoxification holy herb Qiankun grass, I have a sister in the Bai family, I accidentally tried Chinese medicine to poison, and now it is in danger, so I need this Chinese medicine herb to save my life." Bai Cheng said with a slight frown.
At this point, one of the other men hurriedly asked, "Sister of the Bai family?" Is it your cousin Bai Yan, I heard that your cousin has studied Chinese medicine since she was a child, and in order to explore the medicinal properties of Chinese medicine, she will often test the medicine, could it be that she was poisoned? ”
The words have already been said here, plus there are two good friends and brothers in front of him, Bai Cheng sighed and nodded without concealment: "That's right, it's my cousin Bai Yan." ”
As soon as these words came out, the man who asked just now, that is, Zhou Ning, the only son of the Zhou family, was shocked, and even a trace of undisguised anxiety flashed in his eyes, and said, "What? Your cousin Bai Yan was poisoned, how is she doing now, and how many days can she last? ”
Seeing that the anxiety on his face did not seem to be fake, Bai Cheng was stunned for a moment, this was the first time he knew that his brother Zhou Ning beside him cared so much about his cousin Bai Yan.
So he sighed honestly and said: "You also know, although my family's pharmaceutical business is not as good as the Dong family, but it has been doing it for more than ten years, and there are some good medicines hidden in the family, so after my cousin was poisoned, she was immediately treated by the elders in the family, although she did not wake up, but fortunately, it can last for a few days, so this Qiankun grass must be obtained." ”
The words have already been said here, Shao Bin and Zhou Ning naturally didn't say anything, nodded their heads, and said that they would definitely support Bai Cheng to get this herb at the auction.
But at the same time, Shao Bin also said to Bai Cheng a little strangely: "It stands to reason that it shouldn't be so difficult for the Bai family to take this medicinal herb, why would you ask for our help so solemnly?" ”
"You are very smart, if this Qiankun grass is not coveted by others, it will not be very difficult for our Bai family to take it, but the bad thing is that the Dong family has also spread the news, and it seems that this Qiankun grass is determined to win." Bai Cheng twisted his eyebrows and said, if he hadn't gotten the news.
How could the dignified Bai family seek help from the outside world, although over the years, they and the Dong family have clashed many times in business, but they have lost more and won less, and they are still quite afraid of the Dong family.
Moreover, this Qiankun grass is very important to the Bai family now, if the Dong family really intends to compete with the Bai family, then relying on the strength of the Dong family, they have little chance of getting this Qiankun grass.
It is because of this that Bai Cheng, as the representative of the Bai family, wants to get the help of the Shao family and the Zhou family, although these two families are not big, but if the three families are united, they can still compete with the Dong family.
"It's strange, I've heard that the Dong family has a daughter with congenital heart disease, could it be that this herb is just for his daughter?" Zhou Ning's family is also a long-standing family of traditional Chinese medicine, thinking that back then, the elders in the family were invited by the Dong family to treat Dong Weiyi's daughter Dong Shien, so they have some understanding of this situation.
Bai Cheng shook his head directly, his eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with the light of inquiry, and said with emotion: "This is not, Qiankun Grass is a detoxification holy grass, and Dong Weiyi's daughter is not poisoned, I heard that the reason why he is determined to get this herb seems to be related to the recently famous Cunshan Hall." ”
When the three words of Cunshantang appeared in the box, Shao Bin was drinking for a moment, and he put the wine glass on the table stiffly, and asked tentatively: "Bai Shao, what are you talking about, the reason why the Dong family wants to get that Qiankun grass is related to Cunshantang." ”
"Anyway, the news from the investigation is like this, and I don't know very well, but nine times out of ten, by the way, your Shao family seems to have a close relationship with the Dong family some time ago, don't you know some inside information?" Bai Cheng turned the finger on Shao Bin again and asked tentatively.
Shao Bin shook his head, said that he didn't know about this matter, and quickly transferred the topic to the past, and then, Bai Cheng didn't seem to want to talk about such a heavy thing anymore, clapped his hands, the door of the box was opened, and three or four women with graceful figures and bewitching faces walked in.
Soon, the three men were immersed in the drunken lamp fan, accompanied by beautiful women, and those troubles were all left behind, and they had fun.
But I don't know if it's because of the three words Cunshantang, Shao Bin has a string in his mind from beginning to end. The drinking was also very unpleasant, and after dealing with it casually, he hurriedly left here and returned home.
Looking at her son who came back early, Xiao Rou felt a little surprised, and said, "Are you not having fun with your friends, why did you come back so early?" ”
"Mom, where is Dad, I have something to do with him." Shao Bin frowned and said, Xiao Rou saw that his face was a little strange, so she pointed upstairs and said, "Your father has been handling business in the study, do you have anything to do with him?" ”
Shao Bin didn't say anything, he strode upstairs directly, came to the study, cleared his tone first, and then knocked on the door, until he heard a majestic voice from inside, and then pushed the door open and walked in.
"What's the matter with me?" Shao Siming glanced at him lightly, very unimpressed.
