Chapter 121 The boudoir woman of the family
Although the sun outside the teahouse has been westward, it is still like fire, and there are many discussions in the teahouse, and the content is nothing more than this incredible 880,000 taels.
After a long time, the storyteller said to the young man: "Then did Young Master Yun think that he would win?" 880,000 taels, what if I lose? ”
When the young man heard this, he waved his hand, the teahouse suddenly fell silent, everyone focused their eyes on him, and the young man asked loudly to everyone: "Guess how many silver tickets the eldest prince of Yun brought with him when he participated in the auction today?" ”
Even the shopkeeper also stood here, and the storyteller patted his ass behind him, and the plank under everyone's feet was a little old, and the color was a little dark, but the surface was very slippery and bright.
A younger girl sat by the window, and opposite her sat an old man with kind eyes, it was obvious that the girl had come out to drink tea with the old man, and seeing that no one was talking, she cautiously said: "One hundred and eighty thousand? ”
The young man may have fluctuated too much in his heart, and said in an exaggerated tone: "One hundred and eighty thousand? ”
The girl stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, and she was cute.
The young man saw that everyone was just looking curiously, and no one continued to speak, so he stretched out his hand and compared one, and then two, and someone in the building roughly guessed the astronomical number, but he didn't dare to say it.
"One million two hundred thousand taels."
After the young man finished speaking loudly, there was a sudden gasp in the teahouse.
"What is he doing with so much money?"
A middle-aged man in yellow who reacted faster was surprised: "What about the finale?" What's the finale? ”
A group of people reacted that they must have brought money to buy the finale, and they asked, "Yes, yes, what's the finale?" Why do you need to bring so much money? ”
The boy got down from the storyteller's bench and waved his hands to simulate the posture of a monkey, "Monkey, a monkey." ”
The lively girl's eyes widened, full of curiosity: "Huh? What kind of monkey? ”
"Golden monkeys?"
The rugged swordsman stretched out his hand and gestured, "Is it a big town house gold sculpture or some peerless jade carving?" ”
The young man looked at everyone's expressions and waved his hand, "Alive, real monkey." ”
The afternoon sun shone from the west window to the ground, and no one sat on the table there, and the tables and chairs had been a little white from the sun after the day, and they were full of irregular cracks.
The young man took a sip of the tea handed over by the shopkeeper, and happily explained to the public: "That monkey, it's not big, it's still a young beast, it is said that ah, every steel bar in the cage of the monkey was so thick. ”
In the eyes of the crowd, the young man bent his fingers and gestured.
"So thick? What kind of monkey is this? Isn't it similar to the brute beast in the script? The lively girl exclaimed.
The swordsman slammed the table, and said in an unusually strong voice: "I probably know this, I heard from people in the rivers and lakes that the Imperial Beast God Sect suffered a big loss in the Undead Mountain Range back then, and it was almost destroyed at that time, it is said that it was because of a monkey." ”
Everyone looked at the young man, and the young man hugged his fist at the swordsman, "The hero is very knowledgeable, none of the Royal Beast Divine Sect has forgotten to take revenge all these years, and finally discovered the whereabouts of the monkey recently, and the Dragon King of the Royal Beast Divine Sect led the team to kill the King Kong Monkey in the Undead Mountain Range."
It is said that when the maid of the eldest prince saw the monkey in the cage, she recognized it as the bloodline of the King Kong monkey and the water monkey at a glance, but everyone didn't believe it, and even sneered, so there was this big gamble. ”
Someone in the teahouse spoke: "Lord Dragon King can come and go freely in the Mountain Range of the Undead, but it really deserves its reputation." ”
Some people also wondered: "Why have you never heard of Vajra monkeys?" Water monkeys are often heard of, but they have never been seen, and they are said to have terrifying faces and are good at devouring people's souls. ”
The young man dressed in cloth was not verbose, and continued: "It is said that the Vajra Monkey and the Water Monkey are both alien species in the Undead Mountain Range, and the Water Monkey and the Water Monkey we are talking about are not the same kind of creatures. ”
"Oh, it's strange, but it's really weird, I still can't figure out why it's so expensive, by the way, how much did the monkey sell for?" The swordsman shook his head, looking very confused.
The young man pinched a small snack and said while eating: "I'll tell you, I couldn't figure out why at the time, and then I heard that the monkey's paws were sparkling on the iron cage, and the iron cage was full of traces left by the claws. ”
The swordsman nodded, "Doesn't that mean that this monkey's claw is a weapon?" This ordinary warrior is no match for it. ”
The young man nodded and shook his head, and when the swordsman saw it, he immediately frowned and said, "Boy, what did I say wrong?" You're nodding and shaking your head. ”
An ordinary young man was not afraid to be scolded by such a rough man, he waved his hand and shook his head and said: "No, nodding because you said the right direction, shaking your head because you said the wrong degree." ”
"Then tell me what's wrong." The burly kanji has a loud voice, and everyone else in the building is waiting for the boy's answer.
The young man exhaled deeply, looked at the scenery outside the window and asked, "Do you know what strength this monkey can have in the future?" ”
Everyone in the teahouse was silent, and the lively girl whispered: "Doesn't it mean that the Mountain Range of the Dead is the Mahayana entered, if you are not careful, you will have no return?" Then this monkey may also be a grandmaster to Mahayana in the future. ”
The young man clapped his hands, "That's right, the speculation of the Beast God Sect is about half-step Mahayana, the good one may be Mahayana, and the poor one may be the grandmaster, this can't be guaranteed." ”
For a while, everyone in the teahouse looked at each other, and even the big man with the knife on the table sat there for a long time before muttering: "What the hell is this world, hard work and martial arts practice for a lifetime, in the end it is not as strong as a monkey to eat and drink, who to say?" ”
The storyteller is not a person who practices martial arts, but he just sighed in his heart for a half-step Mahayana, but he was interested in who bought it, so he said: "How much did it cost the eldest prince of Yun to buy this monkey?" ”
The young man raised his eyebrows and spread his hands, "I don't know what the specific situation is, I only know that in the end, the Heavenly Star Sect spent 450,000 taels of silver to buy this monkey, which is a hundred times more expensive than human life." ”
"Heavenly Star Sect? Why haven't you heard of it before? So generous? ”
An old man said: "I seem to have seen weapons in nature, and things are good, but it seems that because no one has heard of them, the sales are dismal." ”
As the Heavenly Star Sect expected, the three words of the Heavenly Star Sect began to appear frequently in the ears of the public based on this auction.
In the small garden in the eldest princess's mansion, Xue Chi sat opposite Lin Jinghuang, and a few cups of cold drinks were placed on the stone table, which was the famous Li Ji tea, which was very delicious.
Today's auction was carried out, and when Heling finished introducing the monkey's bloodline, the two of them left the fluffy platform, and the building was crowded with people, and no one noticed the two of them.
"Is what Luo Qing said true?" Sooner or later, the snow had already unveiled, and the hat was placed on the table.
Lin Jinghuang was still wearing the clothes that Xue Chi was wearing, and sighed with his eyes down, "Everything has not been decided, my father is old, to say something unfilial, the transfer of power should only be a few years, Luo Qing is worried about my safety, and he can't trust my group of brothers, so he persuaded me to participate." ”
"Do you really have a chance if you participate? There may be no one in the royal family who will support you, not a question of whether you are fit to be in office, but a question of how you will be on the throne in a hundred years. "Xue was a little worried.
Lin Jinghuang didn't speak, looking at the dessert in his hand in a daze.
Xue Chi lay on the table and said: "After all, your body is the blood of the royal family, so your royal uncles may not oppose you, but they will not recognize your son, unless you pass the throne to your nephew, otherwise you will not be able to deserve the throne, but even if you promise, it may not be effective, because there is no way to guarantee that you will pass the throne to your nephew when you are old." ”
"yes, it's really hard, and I don't want to be involved, everything is unclear, in the clouds, I don't know what I'm going to do? Or I don't even know what I want. Lin Jinghuang, who sighed deeply, also fell on the table, his hand resting under his chin, and he looked up slightly just to see Xue Chichi's big eyes.
Xue Chi Chi looked at Lin Jinghuang's eyes full of nobility, and asked, "What about the emperor and your master, apart from the marriage, what did they tell you?" ”
"I heard rumors that someone proposed to my father that I would marry Yun Tomb and become the emperor after I was born, and then the heir born to Yun Tomb and I would be the next emperor, and the issue of bloodline was to let our heir marry a woman from the side branch of the royal family, which lasted for several generations."
Lin Jinghuang whispered to Xue Chi, for fear of being heard, there was no shyness on her face, if she was asked to find a suitable husband by herself, she might be shy, but before the benefits, she had to be careful.
"Isn't Snow Rain Mountain Villa more powerful than we thought? If it is purely for marriage, then there is no need to give you the throne, and the passing of the throne to you should be to balance the Snow and Rain Villa, so that they can willingly contribute to the reduction of the domain. Xue Chi was puzzled.
Lin Jinghuang nodded, his head and Xue Chi were very close, "I've also thought about this, according to common sense, I am the eldest princess of the same prince in the empire, and marrying him is already considered a marriage, and since I am married, it is even more impossible to succeed to the throne."
If a woman wants to be chosen by a minister to inherit the throne, unless the emperor has no children or grandchildren, no younger brothers, no nephews, and no young bloodline in the collateral lineage, you just look at those powerful families, if there are no children and no grandchildren, the successor to the title must be nephews rather than daughters and sons-in-law. ”
There was a sound of footsteps outside the small courtyard, and the two stopped talking and turned their heads to see that it was a maid from the eldest princess's mansion, the maid approached, and said respectfully to Lin Jinghuang: "Eldest princess, just now someone from the palace said that the queen wants to see you, let you go over for dinner at night, and the emperor is also there." ”
"Got it, you step back first and prepare the robes and jewelry for me to enter the palace."
Lin Jinghuang waved his hand, looked at Xue Chichi with a solemn look, and said softly: "It seems that this matter has been decided." ”
Xue Chi Chi suddenly raised his head, "Actually, if you have to fight, it's not that you don't have a chance, you are a woman, this is your chance, those vassal families who oppose the cutting of the feudal domain are willing to support the Wing King, but as long as you show this meaning, they will not hesitate to support you." ”
Looking at Lin Jinghuang with his eyes down, Xue Chi said softly: "After all, everyone in today's world knows that women and mothers are not of the same mind, and it is true that they support the Wing King, but none of them know that the Wing King only needs them temporarily, and when they grasp the power, they will definitely suppress the local gate valve like the previous emperor."
The reason why they still spend money to help the Wing King compete for the crown prince knowing that they can't change the result is because the support at this time can buy them at least three to ten years to gain enough power and strength to resist the repression in the future. ”
