Chapter 157: The Auction Begins
"Big brother, let's stop in moderation." Chu Qiongxi frowned and said loudly.
Lu Yanqing's words have already stated his neutral position and attitude with Yuxi Academy, and if he continues to woo him, it may have the opposite effect.
Hearing this, Chu Haoze came back to his senses and gave a thumbs up to Lu Yanqing and praised: "Lu Rusheng has such a righteous family and country, admire and admire; No wonder my father always said that Yuxi Academy is the embodiment of the country's luck, and today I understood the true meaning in Lu Rusheng. ”
I have to say that this Chu Haoze's face is really thick enough, and it is easy to skip the matter of wooing, but this is undoubtedly a manifestation of scheming.
Lu Yanqing then echoed: "The eldest prince has won the award, and it is just a matter of doing his duty." ”
"Master Lu, please take care of Master Lu."
Chu Qiongxi apologized to Lu Yanqing on behalf of his brother, Chu Haoze's behavior just now was somewhat abrupt.
Although if he has the support of Yuxi Academy, Chu Haoze's chances of being qualified as the prince will indeed be greater, but this will undoubtedly break the balance between Yuxi Academy and the imperial court, and may have a bad impact on Yuxi Academy, so Yuxi Academy will definitely not choose to get involved in the battle for the prince.
As long as you think about this matter, you can understand the pros and cons.
With Chu Qiongxi's understanding of his brother, it is impossible for him not to consider this matter before acting.
And the reason why he had to win over Lu Yanqing was that Chu Haoze despised Lu Yanqing because he was still young.
If Lu Yanqing agreed in a daze today, then Yuxi Academy would be tied to Chu Haoze's thief ship whether he wanted it or not, and I have to say that Chu Haoze was clearly pit Lu Yanqing.
Chu Qiongxi's mind was meticulous, and he knew Chu Haoze's idea after just a little thought, but in Chu Qiongxi's opinion, this was not a wise move, if this matter was known to his father, I am afraid that he would be suspicious of Chu Haoze.
Chu Qiongxi's behavior is not incomprehensible, although he is the eldest prince, he is relatively weak among the three princes.
Now that the prince's election is about to be finalized, Chu Haoze naturally wants to win more forces to gain support and win the position of the prince, but Chu Haoze's behavior is somewhat ill and rushed to the doctor.
Lu Yanqing chuckled and nodded, didn't say anything, and then got up and said goodbye: "His Royal Highness the Great Prince, His Royal Highness the Princess, if there is nothing to do, I will leave first." ”
"It's almost noon now, why don't you finish eating and then leave?"
It was close to noon, and Chu Qiongxi needed to say something to save it, so he echoed the etiquette.
Lu Yanqing politely refused: "Thank you princess for your kindness, but at noon I negotiated with the second shopkeeper of the Baosheng Chamber of Commerce about the auction, so I won't stay long." ”
This time, Chu Qiongxi and Chu Haoze did not say anything to keep it, and Chu Haoze personally sent Lu Yanqing out of the palace.
Most of what he said along the way was some flattery, and Lu Yanqing was just blindly humble.
It is not difficult to see that Chu Haoze wants to ease the relationship between the two, while Lu Yanqing shows a disapproving look.
Even if Chu Haoze's behavior is very inappropriate, but he is the eldest prince after all, what can Lu Yanqing do?
As for Yuxi Academy, after hearing what happened to Lu Yanqing, I had no choice but to give up.
After leaving Yuxi Academy, Lu Yanqing drove back to Yuxi Academy, and on the way, Lu Yanqing did not forget to send a message to Mo Wanyan, asking them to eat later and wait for him to come back.
……
In the remaining days, Lu Yanqing rushed to the imperial city in the morning to teach Chu Qiongxi, and rushed back to Yuxi Academy at noon to have lunch and began to write textbooks, which was quite comfortable.
Until today.
Today is the day of the auction of the Baosheng Chamber of Commerce, and Lu Yanqing woke up early in the morning.
Walking out of the door, I saw that Li Sisi was already preparing the cold skin, and as for the chicken essence, it had been prepared as early as last night.
Lu Yanqing brought the chicken essence to the stone table, and then took out the porcelain bottle prepared in advance, took it out and began to divide it with a funnel.
After a short time, Lu Yanqing packed the chicken essence.
This porcelain bottle is a high-grade elixir porcelain bottle specially selected by Lu Yanqing, and the sealing is relatively good, and this chicken essence will not be damp even if it is stored for a long time.
After packing, Lu Yanqing properly placed the pill in the wooden box, and then wrapped it in high-quality yellow silk to improve the grade of this chicken essence.
After getting ready, Lu Yanqing stored these chicken essences in the storage ring.
Seeing that Li Sisi had already started preparing breakfast, Lu Yanqing woke Mo Wanyan from the bed.
Lu Yanqing wanted to take advantage of the time when he went to the Baosheng Chamber of Commerce to auction, and took Mo Wanyan and Li Sisi to go shopping in Chujing City.
As for Chu Qiongxi's side, Lu Yanqing has already asked for leave, so there is no need to worry.
And after five days of classes in a row, it's time for Chu Qiongxi to digest it by herself.
Although Lu Yanqing didn't have time to teach Chu Qiongxi, he left homework for Chu Qiongxi and asked her to compose three poems to test whether she had made progress, and Lu Yanqing was still very serious and responsible for teaching.
After a while, the meal was ready, and the small courtyard suddenly became lively.
Song Yuanzhen, Lian Fu Tao, and Zhuang Hanmo rarely arrived at the same time, since the last time Zhuang Hanmo took the buns to eat at Lu Yanqing's house, Zhuang Hanmo joined the team.
The three of them, who always eat and drink for nothing, are also very embarrassed, so recently, several people have started to buy vegetables for Li Sisi, which saves Lu Yanqing a lot of silver taels.
After eating, Lu Yanqing, Mo Wanyan, and Li Sisi got into a carriage and drove towards Chu Jingcheng.
The auction starts in the afternoon, and the lots are put up for auction in the morning.
Along the way, Mo Wanyan and Li Sisi were very happy, and they made bursts of pleasant bells while talking and laughing, which made Lu Yanqing's mind relax.
In addition to the auction and taking his two daughters to play, Lu Yanqing also plans to buy some raw materials to make five-spice powder and other seasonings for the subsequent chicken essence auction.
Lu Yanqing thought about it carefully, it was too simple to only sell chicken essence, so it was better to make more seasonings and package them into gift boxes for sale, so that the price could be higher.
After coming to Chu Jingcheng, the three of them went straight to the Baosheng Chamber of Commerce, and under the reception of Sheng Kangxian, Lu Yanqing handed over the chicken essence to Sheng Kangxian for auction.
When Sheng Kangxian heard that Lu Yanqing was coming to participate in the auction in the afternoon, he took the initiative to reserve an upper room for Lu Yanqing.
This so-called upper room is actually the so-called private box, after all, the people who come to participate in the auction are mixed, and some dignitaries and nobles are not willing to show their heads in front of everyone, so they set up this so-called upper room, but what they didn't expect is to bring a lot of income to the Baosheng Chamber of Commerce.
Sheng Kangxian gave Lu Yanqing enough face, which made Lu Yanqing very grateful for this, but he was able to make friends with this Sheng Kangxian.
After handling the chicken essence, Lu Yanqing and his second daughter rushed towards the east and west cities.
As soon as the woman started shopping, it was endless, and although Lu Yanqing didn't feel tired as a third-grade martial artist, he felt a little bored.
At this moment, an old man in ragged clothes suddenly came to Lu Yanqing, and said with a hippie smile: "Son, I have a treasure map, how about selling you only ten taels of silver?" ”
