Chapter 10: Love is more true than gold
After the second song was played, under the hot gaze of everyone, he got up and left, and the stage was replaced by a middle-aged woman dressed gorgeously and charmingly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the purpose of inviting you here today must be known to you. The woman said.
Everyone present except Fang Yuan nodded one after another.
The woman continued: "Then I won't talk nonsense anymore, the rules of our Liuxiang Pavilion are also known to women and children in Yangdu, just as the so-called good birds choose trees to perch on, and the same is true for the girls entrusted by the Pavilion, of course, for the sake of fairness, the standard of the Pavilion is still the best son of the talented gate, can you explain it in detail with me?"
"No, no, no, start quickly, Nian woman. ”
"It's just, if anyone here doesn't know your rules, let's get started. ”
"Now that all the sons already know, then ......," Mrs. Nian said with a smile, and was about to skip this explanation link.
"Wait!" Fang Yuan suddenly got up and said, "I think Madam Nian, you might as well explain." The voice was not loud, but everyone present shook in unison.
After Fang Yuan finished speaking, under the gaze of Mrs. Nian and everyone present, he sat back, fanning his fan leisurely, as if it was not him who spoke just now.
"This son's face is tight, I don't know the name of the honorable person?" Mrs. Nian looked at Fang Yuan and said curiously, as if she wanted to explore Fang Yuan's origin.
"Looking for joy in Xia Li. Fang Yuan replied as he looked at Shen Yushu beside him.
Shen Yushu, who originally wanted Mrs. Nian to test Fang Yuan, had to open his mouth to help explain: "This Gongzi Li is a friend of the next, and he happened to be at the meeting, and he has admired Miss Qin Shu for a long time, so he came with the next one, and I hope Mrs. Nian will forgive me." ”
"Oh, it turned out to be a friend of Shen Gongzi. Mrs. Nian smiled and nodded, and said with some meaning.
Then he said to Fang Yuan: "Since this Li Gongzi is visiting our pavilion for the first time, then I will explain the concubine body, this is the best son of the love gate." This is the talent of talent, when today's martial arts are respected, so this talent is martial arts cultivation, of course, if the son thinks that he has a good achievement in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, talent and resourcefulness, it can also be considered. ”
"Love is naturally affection, love, the son has miserliness and admiration for Miss Qin Shu, and Qin Shu also has love and trust for the son, just as the so-called good couple is naturally happy with each other. ”
"The gate valve refers to the background, as the so-called Jiangmen has no dogs, and the official family has no white ding, I believe that the son can also understand, and the girl's family wants to live a stable life. ”
"As for this last good son...... Mrs. Nian chuckled when she said this, "then naturally you have to be tall and outstanding." ”
Hearing this, Fang Yuan only felt that his heart was trampled by 10,000 alpacas, and he said in his heart: "Is Lao Tzu visiting the kiln, or is he applying for a horse?"
Seeing that the sons and brothers present all looked like they were confident and taken for granted, and thinking of the extraordinaryness of Miss Qin Shu, Fang Yuan finally couldn't help but scold, but his face was quite unnatural.
Fang Yuan's face changed, and Mrs. Nian naturally saw it in her eyes, with a warm smile on her face, but her tone changed and said: "Of course, everything in the world is not perfect, so these four items, as long as any prince can pass three of them, it is worthy of Miss Qin Shu's life." ”
"Among them, the origin and appearance only need to be approved by this cabinet, so you sons can compete only in two items, if no one has any objections, then we will officially start?"
"Naturally, there is no objection, Mrs. Nian should start quickly. ”
"Just get started. ”
“......”
Passers-by A, B, and C had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and they all opened their mouths to urge.
Madam Nian's gaze looked at Fang Yuan, who unceremoniously shook the paper and fanned her back with a roll of his eyes.
Mrs. Nian didn't care, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then let's start today's first competition - love is more than gold." Speaking of this, Mrs. Nian paused slightly, and then continued: "The minimum price of this dowry is 10,000 gold, and the son who intends to compete should increase the price, and the minimum price increase is 1,000 gold each time." ”
"Poof~" At this time, Fang Yuan happened to raise his glass and drink, and suddenly heard the words, and the wine in his mouth that he didn't have time to swallow immediately squirted out, and scolded in his heart: "Nima!
"I'll give 10,000!" Fang Yuan put down his wine glass and shouted, he liked it the most, he had used money to smash people like this in his previous life, he was familiar with it.
As Fang Yuan reported 10,000, everyone present looked at him for a moment, and it seemed to him that Fang Yuan was very enjoying this kind of "adoring" gaze, but it was just ...... In the next second, he found that everyone didn't seem to be looking at him, but Shen Yushu who was sitting next to him.
"Made, what the hell, what do you think he do?" Fang Yuan thought to himself, and at the same time looked at Shen Yushu beside him with an "unkind" gaze, as if he was complaining that he had stolen the limelight.
Shen Yushu didn't explain anything to him, just replied with a wry smile.
"I'll give you 11,000 gold. A second quote came from a corner of the hall.
Fang Yuan saw that it was a guy with a mask, and said in his heart, "Are you ugly?"
"Twenty thousand!" Fang Yuan increased again.
"Twenty-one thousand. Not to be outdone, the masked man shouted.
"Thirty thousand!" Fang Yuan didn't hesitate, anyway, whether he bought or robbed, he had to get his hands on this Qin Shu today.
"Thirty-eleven thousand. The masked man's voice was cold.
"Forty thousand!"
When Fang Yuan didn't hesitate to explode forty thousand, the masked man suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Shen Yushu, are you doing this what the head of the Shen family means?"
The other sons present seemed to have expected it, and immediately changed their expressions to a good show.
It's no wonder that the masked man jumps his feet, you must know that the annual income of ordinary people in Da Zhou is only hundreds of silver, and one gold is equal to twenty silver, which means that the annual income of an ordinary family in Da Zhou is only a dozen or twenty gold.
Although he has a noble status, but a year's income is only a thousand gold, if it weren't for the fact that he still has some money-making skills, it is estimated that he can't even take out 10,000 gold today, and today's matter, he has communicated with all the families in advance, and the head of the Shen family also personally promised Shen Yushu that he would not make trouble for him.
When Shen Yushu heard this, he "hurriedly" got up and bowed to the masked man, and said, "Master Ji, Zai Xia did not participate, and this Brother Li's behavior has nothing to do with Zaixia. After speaking, without waiting for the masked man to reply, he sat back again.
Seeing this, the masked man gritted his teeth and shouted, "Forty-one thousand!"
Then he glared at Fang Yuan fiercely, as if to say, "If you shout again, I will eat you." ”
Fang Yuan rolled his eyes and said lazily, "Fifty thousand." ”
In fact, he was also scolding his mother in his heart at this time, because he didn't have 50,000 gold on him at all, and he didn't give money for prostitution, and he was thrilled (ashamed) to think about it.
"Hmph. The masked man snorted coldly, and sat back, as if he didn't mean to shout again, but muttered to an old man beside him.
At this time, Mrs. Nian, who had been watching coldly on the stage, spoke: "Li Gongzi thinks that his affection for Miss Qin Shu is more than 50,000 gold, and is there any other prince who thinks that his friendship for Miss Qin Shu is higher?"
Everyone present, Fang Yuan's paper fan shook gently, looking like an old god was about to win, Shen Yushu next to him was immersed in concentrating on tasting the food on the table, and the masked man was like an old monk in meditation, and he closed his eyes directly. As for the others, they were talking about something, but no one made any bids.
Seeing this, Mrs. Nian clapped her hands and said, "Since everyone has no objections, then I announce that Li Gongzi won this love competition." Next, the competition will begin, and the son who intends to participate in the competition will be invited to the back of the hall to perform martial arts. ”
As soon as Mrs. Nian's words fell, the masked man stood up with a "swish", took the old man beside him, and walked to the back of the hall first.
Then everyone in the hall also got up and went.
