Hearing the news of the Ming family's bidding, Fan Xian frowned slightly, as if he didn't expect the other party's response to come so fast and so spicy, but in fact, he was still calm in his heart, this was expected, and the Ming family was not a pig to be slaughtered.

When Huang Gonggong and Guo Zheng heard the news, their spirits were lifted, and their buttocks, who had been sitting for a long time, finally moved forward, listening to the sound in the courtyard with great expectations.

Only Xue Qing still looked like an old god, sipping the tea in the bowl.

This is already the fifth bid, which is not one of the goals of the Ming family, but they chose to bid at this time, the purpose is naturally to be a leader in the scene of thousands of horses at this time, and to suppress the arrogance of Xia Qifei and his party in Room B No. 4, and the more important reason is to use a means of being close to scoundrels to delay time and slow down the process.

Therefore, this round of bidding is particularly boring, even boring, far less than the fierce situation of Xia Qifei and the Lingnan Xiong family in the first round, and even the previous rounds.

The price of the Ming family is extremely low, and he can't see any sincerity at all, but Ming Qingda didn't care about this, and watched his son rub time with the shopkeepers in the clan with a smile on his face.

It took a quarter of an hour to bid for a round of bidding, and the Ming family calculated the accounts, just like the first brother. Called the price, shy like a yellow flower girl, handed over a brown paper bag, and moved like a toothless old woman.

Anyway, it can be dragged as much as it can, from the master to the tent, and the cooperation is extremely tacit, which makes everyone and other places anxious. But there was no way to find out what was wrong, and the official in charge of the salute in the Transit Department had already begun to yawn on the stone steps, and the fifth mark was not over yet.

Xia Qifei's price has been pressing the Ming family a lot, but the three rounds of bidding have not stopped, and no one can jump to the next link.

The surrounding Jiangnan merchants began to chat and drink tea, and these old foxes all saw what the old man Ming had planned, and knew that within today, he would probably only be able to open the fifth bid.

The sun in the sky moved slowly but surely to the west, and the Ming family's speech was slow and muddy. A small bird landed in the middle of the court, looking curiously at the yawning and chattering people around them. It doesn't seem to be quite understandable why everything in this yard is like slow motion.

The Ming family is not in a hurry.

Jiangnan businessmen are not in a hurry.

Huang Gonggong and Guo Zheng are not in a hurry.

Xue Qing, the governor of Jiangnan, was even less anxious.

I don't know if the robbers in the fourth room will be crazy when they encounter this kind of kung fu of boiling old soup over a slow fire, but Fan Xian still hid some of the anxiety between his eyebrows in everyone's petty peeping, and his heart was clear, full of admiration for the old spicy kung fu and shameless methods of the Ming family.

As the sun began to set in the west, the shadow of the gate of the inner library house was as long as a girl's skirt, and the little bird, who had not found even a single grass on the stone steps, raised his head and looked around, and cooed twice with resentment. Flap your wings and fly away.

When the gong sounded, the firecracker representing the successful end of the bidding for the inner library did not explode, because the third bidding of the fifth bid had just ended, and Xia Qifei once again defeated the Ming family "with difficulty". Obtained the marketing right of northern glass, and at this time, the first day of the opening of the bidding for the New Year of the Inner Library was about to be forced to end.

The merchants in the courtyard sighed, stretched their waists, and wiped their cold sweat with some palpitations, fortunately, the Ming family finally made a move today, and the time was wasted, otherwise with the momentum of the fourth room at the beginning, the ghost knew that the sixteen standards of the fat and oily inner library could still leave a few drops of soup.

Huang Gonggong and Guo Zheng glanced at each other. smiled with relief, Xia Qifei's shot really surprised them, but fortunately, the other party who dragged in the end had no momentum, presumably the Ming family should have a proper arrangement for tomorrow tonight.

Fan Xian sat on the chair and carried the table. Climbing over the high walls of the mansion, I squinted at the red in the sky. But the sunset is no longer visible.

The house began to be cleared, sealed, and the silver tickets and tools brought in by the merchants did not need to be taken out, one for convenience, one for safety, in this evening, by Jiangnan Road, the Supervision Yuan, the Transfer Division, and the Suzhou Mansion Four Ya Joint Defense, this inner library house will be closely guarded, which can be said to be the safest place in the world.

The soldiers began to put seals on the outside of the room and the flower hall under the corridor, and the merchants had already come out, standing in the courtyard and chatting together, and when they saw the old man of the Ming family and the young master of the Ming family coming out of the first room, everyone hurried over to greet and salute, and the voice of everyone was relatively low, but the focus of the discussion was naturally the robber in the fourth room.

Xia Qifei had a calm face, and led his subordinates to stand under the wall closest to the gate of the Neiku Mansion, which was gloomy.

While everyone was talking, they looked at the place, at the group of people in the shadows, and thought of the methods of these robbers before, and they felt more and more panicked in their hearts.

At this time, the four members of the main hall also walked down.

"I've seen Gonggong Huang. "I've seen Master Xue. "Lord Xiao Fan, you have to leave food for Xiao Di. 」

The businessmen rushed forward at once, surrounding the four dignitaries in the center, and the salutes and grievances were extremely lively. Fan Xian couldn't help laughing, looked at the Lingnan Xiong family Xiong Bailing, who was a little annoyed, comforted him, and teased him, "There are still eleven standards, why are you in a hurry?"

The spokesmen of the family complained bitterly in their hearts, thinking that among the remaining eleven items, the Ming family was determined to obtain eight items of the bound land, where to have their own food.

Fan Xian sighed again and said, "There are too few items, there will always be people who can't take their turns, this is the rule of the imperial court, I can't help it. 」

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately thought of Fan Xian's initial proposal, and heard him say the word rules, and their eyes couldn't help but light up. Xiong Bailing suddenly smiled, lowered his voice and said, "This rule...... It's not man-made yet. 」

These merchants are not competing for benefits today, and of course inevitably have a certain hunger for tomorrow's landmarks.

Ming Qingda, who had been watching coldly from outside the crowd, frowned, knowing that Lord Qincha was secretly persuading those merchants to compete with his Ming family for share, he sneered in his heart, but with a faint smile on his face, he glanced at Gonggong Huang imperceptibly.

The Huang Gong Guild will. Smile chimed in, "Guys, that's what our family thinks. 」

Everyone was overjoyed, thinking that even the representatives of the palace agreed to the proposal to subdivide the bids, and this seemed to be possible. Unexpectedly, Gonggong Huang then sighed and said, "It's just a pity that the rules of the court are here, who doesn't dare to do it...... This matter can only wait for our family to return to Beijing, go to the Queen Mother's ancestors and Her Majesty to say things for you, our family dare to say, next year will definitely be better than this year. 」

Everyone was stunned, and their faces were full of embarrassment. In my heart, I was scolding this eunuch for only saying beautiful things.

During this period of time, Fan Xian was talking to everyone, but in fact, his mind was paying attention to the Ming family's side, and he found that the old man Ming had encountered today's changes, but his mind was still clear, and his emotions did not seem to be affected, and he was still very fast and accurate in judging things, so he couldn't help but have some small worries.

Since it is to force the Ming family to be dizzy, it seems that it ...... It's time to add chips.

......

......

The work of sealing the warehouse has finally ended, and the arming has been completed. The door of the inner library house was slowly opened for the second time in this day, and the fresh air on the street poured into the courtyard, which lifted everyone's spirits and decided to go back in the evening to discuss again. Come to win the bid again tomorrow, it's already this season, no matter what you are from the Ming family, you have to grab a few businesses to do.

By this time, the giant businessmen had already heard the meaning of a certain force in the imperial court from Fan Xiandi's words, that is, they wanted to target the Ming family and lure it. The leaders of several big families led by the Lingnan Xiong family and the Quanzhou Sun family glanced at each other, laughed weirdly, and planned to eat together in Jiangnanju at night.

Everyone secretly discussed to steal the mark of the family. Of course, I paid attention to the movements of the old man of the Ming family, and found that the old man of the Ming family was talking to Lord Qincha at this time. An old man and a young man are smiling and very affectionate, this official family and businessman are actually professions that are hypocritical to the extreme, this kind of superficial work will naturally be done, and everyone is not surprised.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw Lord Qincha beckoning lightly and summoning Xia Qifei and his party, who had been staying in the shadows, over.

The merchants all stopped and walked out of the door, looking at the scene in front of them with curiosity.

Fan Xian's face was calm, he looked at Xia Qifei with a light smile, his hands in front of him, and he gestured with a hand that only the two of them could understand, but said in his mouth, "Mr. Xia, you are in the limelight today. 」

Xia Qifei smiled, bowed around, and said, "It's all up to the humility of your bosses. 」

No matter how much the merchants hold a grudge against him, but knowing that the other party is a figure who mixes with the underworld after all, it is best not to offend him in person, and he can see clearly that this person is Fan Qincha's confidant, so he also replied a few words in front of him, saying that Mr. Xia has not been a hitter for ten years, and he is a blockbuster, how can he be cloudy.

Ming Qingda squinted at the enemy who suddenly appeared in front of him, and suddenly asked, "Why is the Xia family suddenly interested in doing business?"

There was silence.

Xia Qifei lowered his head, and only after a while did he slowly raise his head, looked at the master of this generation of the Ming family, and said with a smile: "Although Xia has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, his family has been in business for generations, and when it comes to my generation, no matter how bad it is, I must inherit my father's legacy. 」

"Oh?" Ming Qingda's eyes wrinkled more and more, and he asked tiredly, "It turns out that the Xia Dang family is also a generational merchant family, but I don't know that it is a merchant from all over the world, maybe I also had a friendship with Ling Zun back then. 」

All the businessmen looked at this scene curiously, and after listening to this conversation, they were also very curious about what Xia Qifei's house originally did.

Xia Qifei quietly looked at Ming Qingda's face, which often appeared in nightmares, and he didn't know what kind of emotions surged in his heart, and after a while, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, and he said quietly: "Friendship is naturally there, my father is your father, doesn't Master Ming know him?"

......

......

Everyone in the audience didn't understand this sentence, Xiong Bailing began to subconsciously pick out his ears, Ming Qingda was slightly stunned, looked at Xia Qifei in front of him, and did not speak.

Although Xia Qifei didn't know why Lord Qincha wanted to reveal his identity in advance, standing in front of the Ming family again was his strongest wish over the years, and today's dream came true, which made his mood extremely excited.

But he still remained calm on the surface, but his right hand hanging down in his sleeve trembled a little, he looked at Ming Qingda, light and faint and cold, and said:

"Big brother, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, don't you know Xiao Qi?"

......

......

Xia Qifei is the seventh young master of the Ming family! It is the rumored seventh young master of the Ming family who should have inherited the Ming family's industry, but in the end he disappeared mysteriously!

The merchants in the field looked at Xia Qifei in disbelief, as if they saw a fierce ghost crawling out of hell, and saw a monster that should not exist in this world. Although no one dared to talk about it, everyone could guess that it was the old lady of the Ming family and the old man in front of him who killed the seventh son of the Ming Dynasty, how could he still be alive and become the big boss of the Jiangnan Water Village?

Ming Qingda looked at Xia Qifei in front of him in a daze, staring at that face for I don't know how long, suddenly his body began to tremble, and he finally saw a familiar shadow from this face, the young and ignorant little brother back then, the thin body that was beaten with his whip, the face full of resentment and revenge!

"Daddy!"

Ming Lanshi was also extremely shocked and frightened at this time, looking at Xia Qifei like a dementia, the legendary uncle, but found that his father's body was crumbling, and quickly supported him.

In Ming Lanshi's view, today's inner library mansion is like a yin house, and it can't stay for a long time, so he helped his father, who seemed to be much older for a moment, and walked outside the inner library courtyard with the people of the clan.

The merchants in the room were still staring at Xia Qifei with shocked faces, and whispered something.

When the Ming family walked to the gate, to everyone's surprise, Ming Qingda, the master of the Ming family, suddenly broke free from his son's support, forcibly stood up straight, and turned around.

The face of the master of the Ming family was a little pale, but he used his strong self-control ability to restore his temporary calm, he looked at Xia Qifei in the courtyard and said calmly: "The Xia family is joking, my poor seventh brother has unfortunately passed away more than ten years ago, please don't tell this kind of joke to make the old man's heart. 」

The businessmen were silent, knowing in their hearts that fortunately, the old man of the Ming family stood up at this time and turned around and said such a sentence, otherwise if he was shocked, he exposed the empty door and let the news spread around without the refutation of the Ming family, and the situation would become more and more difficult to control.

Fan Xian tilted his head slightly, looked at the old and tired master of the Ming family on the stone steps, and sighed in his heart, "It's a pity, admire. 」
