The weather at the end of autumn was like a spoiled young girl.
After experiencing the initial coldness and fervor, the fervor gradually dissipated as the sun set in the West Mountains.
Zhang Feng hugged his quilt with a happy expression on his face, as if he was dreaming.
"Prince Zhang!"
"Mister Yushan is here!"
A gentle knock on the door woke Zhang Feng up from his sweet dream. Zhang Feng opened his hazy eyes, as if he hadn't woken up yet, with a blank look on his face.
He lazily replied, "Got it!"
Huh? Mister Yushan? Could it be that today is the day of the auction? Aiya, I almost overslept.
"Coming! Coming! "
Zhang Feng put on his clothes and walked out. When he opened the door, he saw Yu 'er, Yu' er, Yu Yao, and Mister Yushan waiting for him.
He cleared his throat and said, "Let's go!"
"Old Jia, prepare the carriage!"
The group walked towards the center of Yuezhou City.
A moment later, they arrived in front of a magnificent building. Fan Jin and a middle-aged man had been waiting for Zhang Feng for a long time. When they saw Zhang Feng arrive, they went forward to greet him. Fan Jin pointed to the middle-aged man and said, "Prince Zhang, this is my father, the current head of the Fan family."
Zhang Feng smiled and nodded in response. He thought to himself, 'This kid is quite reliable. It seems that the Fan family is already on my side. This auction house is also quite glorious. Now, all that's missing are the wealthy merchant clans and people with different surnames.'
Fan Jin said, "Come, come, come, don't just stand there. Let's go in!"
Everyone followed Fan Jin to the entrance of the auction house. As soon as they walked in, they saw a magnificent scene. The inside was extremely big and could accommodate many people.
Every three steps, there would be a devastatingly beautiful woman bowing to welcome him. In the blink of an eye, there was a huge stage in the middle, with a group of beautiful singers swaying their slender waists, singing and dancing beautifully. At the same time, there was also the sound of instruments rising and falling, as well as the dazzling array of delicacies, all of which were extremely tempting.
Of course, the wine and food here were free.
However, the prerequisite is that you must be qualified to enter the auction house.
If you weren't from a wealthy merchant clan or a large clan with five surnames and seven hopes, you wouldn't have the qualifications to enter. Those who could come here were either rich or noble.
Zhang Feng looked at Fan Jin with satisfaction. It seemed that this kid didn't disappoint him. He had actually managed to set up this auction according to his arrangements.
Not long after, a middle-aged man in plain clothes walked in from outside, followed by several attendants. When he saw Zhang Feng, he couldn't wait to say, "Little friend Zhang Feng, long time no see!"
When Zhang Feng saw the man, he suddenly remembered. Wasn't this the old Elementary Scholar's best friend, the head of the Wang family? It seemed that the Wang Clan, who had been waiting patiently for a long time, had decided to take a gamble. It just so happened that it would be much easier to rope them in later on.
Immediately, he said, "Uncle, what brings you here? Come, come, come. Please come upstairs. We can talk about it after the auction."
Wang Xi smiled and nodded, then followed the servant upstairs.
Following that, many people came in from outside one after another. They were dressed in luxurious clothes, full of the aura of wealth. Mr. Yushan and Fan Jin went up to greet them, chatting from time to time.
"Mr. Yushan, I didn't expect you to be here."
"Don't say that. Little friend Zhang and I are fated to meet, so I came here to have a look!"
"Come, come, come upstairs please!"
Zhang Feng looked at these people, who were full of arrogance. He knew that they were those with five surnames and seven hopes. Most of them had come because of Mr. Yushan.
After a while, an old man over 60 years old led a group of people in, followed by two women. Looking carefully, weren't they Zhao Yu 'er from the Zhao family and Wu Man' er from the Wu family? It seemed that they couldn't wait to come to the auction.
When Zhao Yu 'er saw Zhang Feng, she blushed slightly and said, "Prince Zhang, long time no see!"
Hiss — — -
Last time, he had sent the two women to discuss the marriage, but he had rejected them. Now, seeing them again, he couldn't help but feel a little pity. Women with five surnames and seven hopes were like goods, born for profit, with no status at all. That time, it was the Zhao family and the Wu family who made the absurd decision to get Zhang Feng's perfume.
Zhang Feng nodded in acknowledgement.
"Upstairs please!"
Fan Jin went up to greet the crowd and led them upstairs. After a while, the Heaven Pavilion and the public seats were packed with people. It seemed that it was time to start.
Those people were talking about something, talking and laughing. The scene was very noisy. Whether it was the wealthy families or the five surnames and seven hopes upstairs, they were all curious about what this auction was about.
Some people came because they coveted Zhang Feng's perfume, some came because of Mr. Yushan's reputation, and some came to see what Zhang Feng wanted to do with this thing. For a time, whether it was the audience or the five surnames and seven hopes upstairs, they were full of doubts. Some even came to prevent other families from threatening their interests and came to fight for the perfume.
