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 Gonggong Huang and Guo Zheng heard the news, their hearts were shocked, and their buttocks, who had been sitting for a long time, finally moved forward, listening to the voices in the courtyard with great anticipation.

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 was jerky, called the price, was as shy as a yellow flower girl, handed over the brown paper bag, and was inconvenient to move like a toothless old woman.

Anyway, it can be dragged as much as it can, from the master to the tent, the cooperation is extremely tacit, which makes everyone anxious, but there is no way to find out what the problem is, the official in charge of the singing ceremony of the transfer department has begun to stand on the stone steps and yawn, and the fifth bid is 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 heavenly rì moved slowly but surely to the west, and the Ming family's speech was slow and muddy. A small bird landed in the courtyard, looking curiously at the yawning and chatting people around, as if he didn't quite understand why every qiē in this courtyard seemed to be in 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.

The little bird, which had not found even a single piece of grass on the stone steps, raised its head and looked around, cooing twice with resentment, and flapping its wings and flying away.

When the gong sounded, the firecracker representing the successful end of the bidding of the inner library did not explode, because the third bidding of the fifth bid had just ended, Xia Qifei once again "difficult" defeated the Ming family and obtained the marketing right of northern glass, at this time, the first day of the opening of the bidding for the new chūn 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 and smiled with satisfaction, Xia Qifei's shot really surprised them, but fortunately, the other party who dragged them in the end had no momentum, presumably the Ming family should make proper arrangements for tomorrow tonight.

Fan Xian sat on the chair, carried the platform, crossed the high wall of the mansion, squinted at the red in the sky, but could no longer see the sunset.

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 under the corridor and the flower hall, the merchants had 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 room A, 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 room B.

Xia Qifei had a calm face, and led his men to stand under the wall closest to the gate of the Neiku Mansion, where it was dark.

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 felt more and more panicked.

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

"I've seen Grandpa Huang. "I've seen Lord Xue. "Little Fan, you have to leave food for the little one." ”

The merchants rushed forward at once, and surrounded the four dignitaries in zhōngyāng, seeing the rites and complaining about the grievances, which was 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 again: "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 of the bundles, where to have their own food.

Fan Xian sighed again and said: "There are too few items, there are always 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 mention of yì, and heard him say the word rules, his 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 bids.

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.

Huang Gonggong understood, smiled and interjected, "Everyone, our family also thinks the same way. ”

Everyone was overjoyed, thinking that even the representatives in the palace agreed to subdivide the items, and this seemed to be possible. Unexpectedly, Huang Gonggong then sighed: "It's just a pity that the rules of the court are here, and no one dares to do it...... This matter, we can only wait for our family to return to Beijing, go to the Queen Mother's ancestor and His Majesty in front of the Xiang Wei Xiang ”

Everyone was stunned, their faces were embarrassed, but they were scolding this eunuch in their hearts 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 a sudden change today, but his mind was still clear, and his feelings did not seem to be affected, and he still judged things very quickly and accurately, 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 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, so that everyone was shocked, and decided to go back at night to discuss it again, and Ming rì came to win the bid again, it has come to this season, no matter what you are in 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 Xian's words, that is, they wanted to target the Ming family, lure them, and have the power to guide them, and the businessmen began to drool over the Ming family who had not dared to clash head-on, and 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 grab the mark of the Ming family, of course, they 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 were smiling and intimate, this official family and businessmen are actually hypocritical professions to the extreme, this kind of superficial kung fu will naturally be done, and everyone is not surprised.

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

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

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 his hand and saluted around: "It's all up to the humility of the 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 slowly raised his head after a while, 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 have to inherit my father's legacy." ”

"Oh?" Ming Qingda's eyes wrinkled more and more, and he asked tiredly: "It turns out that the Xia 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 family originally did.

Xia Qifei quietly looked at Ming Qingda's face that often appeared in nightmares, and his heart swelled up without knowing what kind of love it was, and after a while, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, and he said quietly: "Friendship is naturally there, my father is your father, will Master Ming not know?"

............ 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 desire over the years, and now his 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 was supposed to inherit the Ming family's industry, but finally 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 be stored 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 prince 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 had swayed, and quickly supported him.

In Ming Lanshi's view, today's inner library mansion is like a yīn house, and he can't stay for a long time at all, so he helped his father, who seemed to be much older for a moment, and walked outside the inner library courtyard with the people in 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: "Xia Dangjia is joking, my poor seventh brother has unfortunately died of illness more than ten years ago, please don't tell this kind of joke to tease 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 in the context of no refutation by 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." ”
