Chapter 128: Concubine Mei was humiliated, Bai Yichen was fooled, Meng Ruxue wanted to marry (2)
In the past few days, the capital city is also very lively, especially after the matter of Concubine Rou is over, the whole capital city seems to be boiling, and everyone is talking about the auction of the treasure by the leader of the cheetah.
"I heard that it is really a rare treasure. I heard that the starting price was astonishingly high. I don't know if everyone will buy it in the end." In the restaurant, some people were discussing in low voices.
"What kind of treasure is that? What kind of treasure is so strange, can't it be a lie?" Someone asked with a little doubt.
"How could the leader of the cheetah lie? Moreover, I heard that His Royal Highness and the leader of the cheetah have some friendship. He has already seen the treasure, and the seventh princess has taken a fancy to it at a glance. Now His Royal Highness is raising Yinliang, you said that you will spare no effort to take that treasure for the Seventh Princess?"
"No way, His Highness is too fond of the princess, it's not a small sum." Apparently some people didn't believe it.
"Hey, don't tell me, I heard that His Royal Highness really dotes on the princess very much. She will follow her in everything. As long as she likes it, even the stars in the sky will help her pick it up. So, this matter Eighty percent is true."
"Well, well, it must be true. That day, I saw His Highness hugging the princess and walking on the street affectionately. Anyone with long eyes can see that love."
"This princess is really blessed. To be favored by His Highness." A woman said enviously.
"You said that woman is so ugly, why does His Highness like her?" The other woman looked jealous.
"Yes, and Mr. Bai didn't want it in the first place. How could His Highness be a treasure?"
"Wrong, wrong. I heard that it was the concubine who regretted her retreat this time. At that time, Mr. Bai still didn't agree. I heard that in the end it was the lord of Cheetah who came forward to help. Maybe that was what His Highness meant. The friendship of the cheetah's leader is really good." A person who seemed to know something inside said repeatedly.
"Really? Didn't she like Mr. Bai very much before? Why did she want to divorce suddenly?"
"You are stupid, she liked Mr. Bai when she was stupid before, but now that she is not stupid, she will definitely not like Mr. Bai again. Although Mr. Bai is excellent, he is no better than His Highness." The man deliberately said with his voice pressed down. , but the voice was not low at all.
"That's true, that's true." That nodded repeatedly.
In the restaurant, Bai Yichen, who was sitting in a private room, became more and more gloomy, turned livid, and turned black.
The hand holding the teacup kept tightening, tightening again, and finally exceeded the limit of the cup's endurance. With a bang, it shattered in his hand, and the tea also scattered.
The voice was not too loud, the people outside didn't hear it, they were still discussing constantly, but the man standing behind Bai Yichen trembled in shock, and there was a little fear in the eyes looking at Bai Yichen.
Although the master was completely angered.
"I guess, when the time comes, this baby will definitely be photographed by His Highness. His Highness will give up everything to please the princess, and I am afraid that only His Highness can have that ability."
"Yes, yes, it will definitely belong to His Highness." Another person said with more certainty.
In the private room, Bai Yichen's complexion became even more ugly, his eyes were full of anger, and he was clearly unwilling. A sneer slowly emerged from the corner of his lips, hmph, Xuanyuan Ye may be far inferior to him in terms of wealth.
"Has there been any movement from Xuanyuan Ye recently?" Bai Yichen narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he saw a little tea splashed on his hand, the depths of his eyes grew a little colder, and he asked the man beside him in a cold voice.
"It seems to be true to what they said. They are raising money. They say that several shops in the east of the city will be resold." The man's body trembled again, and then he said carefully. Tell the master about it.
Master has been taking over Xuanyuan Ye's shops some time ago, the first few shops were taken over by His Highness smoothly, but the last few shops, Xuanyuan Ye suddenly closed, no business at all.
So no matter how powerful Bai Yichen is, he has nothing to do, he won't be afraid of losing money, if he doesn't do business, no matter how you fix it, he won't be afraid.
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Bai Yichen's slightly narrowed eyes flashed a cold light, and his icy voice was even more angry.
The shops in the east of the city are not in a very good location, but they are still profitable, so they should be able to sell for a good price.
It's just that he doesn't pay much attention to that little silver. Most importantly, he must get those shops, and he wants to destroy all Xuanyuan Ye's shops.
He wants to suppress Xuanyuan Ye little by little. With his current financial resources and influence, it is not impossible to deal with Xuanyuan Ye.
Although Xuanyuan Ye is the prince of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, he believes that Xuanyuan Ye's current silver is probably only a fraction of his. Hearing the words of those people outside, the corners of his lips slowly pulled out a hint of sarcasm.
He had heard about the auction before, and he didn't take it seriously at first. After all, he had never seen any treasures before, but everyone has curiosity, so he will definitely go when the time comes. If he likes it, If the price is right, he may also take the auction, but he doesn't intend to force it. He will let nature take its course. He is a shrewd businessman and will not do anything to lose money.
But now that he heard those people's words, his face became a bit more cruel, no matter what, he would take a picture of that thing.
She wants it, she likes it, right? Xuanyuanye wanted to please her, at all costs, right?
He just didn't let her get what she wanted, and he just didn't let Xuanyuanye have such a chance. Even if Xuanyuan Ye gave everything he had, no matter how much Xuanyuan Ye raised money in these days, he still couldn't compare to him.
"I heard that the shops in the east of the city originally belonged to His Highness the Seventh Prince are being resold today. It seems that His Highness is serious this time and even sold the shops." Said slightly out of breath.
"Really? Then I'll go and have a look. If the price is right, I can buy one. The business of those shops was good, but I don't know why they suddenly closed." Said, and then ordered the child on the side, "You greet here, I'll go and have a look."
"Okay." The shop kid repeatedly agreed.
"Well, the shopkeeper can go and have a look. The price is not very high, and according to the princess, the price can be negotiated, but as I said, I just won't sell it to Mr. Bai." Said.
"Why don't you sell it to Mr. Bai?" The shopkeeper was a little puzzled, and the resale depends on the person.
"Oh, you can't even figure this out. In the past, Mr. Bai treated the princess so well, but now the princess must still hate Mr. Bai." The man said in a slightly lowered voice.
But that voice was still heard by Bai Yichen. He is a martial arts practitioner and his hearing is excellent. Or that person simply let Bai Yichen hear it on purpose.
In Bai Yichen's eyes, there was an extremely cold sneer, Dudu just didn't want to sell it to him, hmph, the more she didn't want to sell it to him, the more he wanted it.
"Come on, follow me to have a look." Bai Yichen got up suddenly, and walked slowly outside. As soon as he walked out, the discussions outside suddenly stopped, and the whole restaurant fell silent.
When the shopkeeper saw him, he was also startled, and seemed to suddenly remember what happened to him in the restaurant, and repeatedly scolded the shopkeeper next to him, "Mr. Bai is here, why don't you remind me...remind me to serve tea. "
There was a slight pause in the middle of the words, with a slightly misleading meaning.
Bai Yichen glanced at him coldly, with obvious anger in his eyes, he pulled the corner of his lips, and said coldly, "I really don't dare to bother the shopkeeper, but maybe you can change your surname in this restaurant." gone."
The shopkeeper even forgot about his time in the private room. Such a small shopkeeper dare not take him seriously, hum, he will let him know how powerful he is.
The shopkeeper's body froze suddenly, and he shouted again and again, "Young Master Bai, please be merciful."
It's just that Bai Yichen ignored him at all, and walked out of the restaurant straight away.
The corner of the shopkeeper's lips twitched slightly, hey, he's just a drinker, whoever he recruits, whoever he provokes, it's really hard to be a human being.
When Bai Yichen arrived in the east of the city, many people had already surrounded the shops.
"The price has been decided. Each shop will be sold at 50,000 taels. If you are interested, you can come and sign the contract." Before he got close, he heard Meng Fuying's voice, and Bai Yichen's eyes narrowed again. Squinting, this woman actually started a business.
It's just, does she know how to do business? But when she heard that she was going to sign the contract, the corners of her eyebrows slightly raised.
Going closer, I saw that she was sending the contract to several people who had seen it in the past.
50,000 taels is not too expensive. It is reasonable for her and others. This price is very good. If it is higher, the cost is too high, and there is not much profit.
"Well, Your Highness, Princess, I want to sign this shop." Someone took a look at the contract and said respectfully.
"The young one signed this one." Another person also said again and again.
"..." Everyone saw that one person wanted to sign, and the others also wanted to sign. Several shops soon had owners.
"Okay, come here and sign the contract." Meng Fuying greeted everyone with a chuckle.
"I want all of these shops, one hundred thousand taels each." Bai Yichen walked forward slowly, and said domineeringly. When he looked at her, there was a bit of a smile that was not a smile.
Doesn't she need silver? He didn't mind helping her, she didn't want to transfer it to him, and he was about to make an order, so he didn't believe that she would not sell it to him if he doubled the price.
Everyone was stunned and looked at him in surprise.
Meng Fuying slowly raised her eyes, glanced at him slightly, her red lips moved slightly, and said slowly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Bai, this shop is already taken by someone. To be honest, since someone has made the decision, naturally it can no longer be given to Mr. Bai."
When those few people heard Meng Fuying's words, they couldn't help being stunned. They didn't expect the princess to be so trustworthy. If they hadn't signed the contract, the princess could transfer it to Mr. Bai, let alone Mr. Bai. That's double the money.
Bai Yichen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked straight at her with obvious anger. This woman spoke nicely, and she clearly meant to be against him on purpose, so she said again, "My shop pays 200,000 yuan. two."
He is a businessman, no matter what he does, he must first calculate carefully, and only do what is beneficial to him, but this time, he is obviously not rational enough, originally there is no profit for a hundred thousand taels, but with his The ability to do business is not enough to lose too much, but two hundred thousand taels is really a big loss.
However, this little silver is nothing to him at all.
The man behind him froze for a moment, wanting to remind him aloud, but he didn't say it in the end. The master's decision is beyond his control.
"Oh, how did I find out that there are more and more lunatics now? During the day, they are going crazy." Meng Fuying didn't even look at him this time, but said deliberately, then turned to Xuanyuan Ye and smiled softly, "Ye, what do you think?"
"Well, this king also feels the same." Xuanyuan Ye nodded seriously, and said in line with her meaning. And his arms gently embraced her.
Bai Yichen's face was completely gloomy, and the anger in those cold eyes kept rising, he looked straight at her and Xuanyuan Ye, and he couldn't help but tear her apart, and he couldn't help tearing Xuanyuan Ye into pieces.
"My shop pays 500,000 taels." Bai Yichen tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, gritted his teeth and growled, didn't she need money? He didn't believe that she could still refuse when he offered five hundred thousand taels.
Meng Fuying then turned her eyes slightly, looked at him, blinked her eyes slightly, and then said worriedly, "Master Bai, have you been bitten by a mad dog? Why are you talking crazy here? This is all business, so don't make trouble here."
Bai Yichen couldn't help trembling in anger, this woman actually said that he was bitten by a mad dog? And also said he was crazy?
"I'm serious." Bai Yichen looked straight at her, pulled the corners of his lips slightly, and said slowly, then turned to the man behind him, and ordered in a deep voice, "Go and get two hundred and fifty immediately." Ten thousand taels of silver."
There are five shops in total, and one shop costs 500,000 taels.
"It's really two hundred and five." Meng Fuying froze for a moment, and couldn't help secretly amused, why did Bai Yichen come up with such a whole number, it was really two hundred and five?
As soon as she said this, Bai Yichen's already extremely gloomy face really turned completely black.
"Oh, that's a very apt description." Xuanyuan Ye frowned slightly, and then said solemnly.
Everyone couldn't help laughing out loud, which made Bai Yichen's face even more ugly.
"Come on, come on, everyone, sign the contract. The 50,000 taels that I agreed to, you guys have already settled. Even if someone asks for a sky-high price, I will still keep this promise." Meng Fuying Ignoring Bai Yichen any more, he greeted everyone again.
That's right, she deliberately lured Bai Yichen here today, and she deliberately didn't transfer these shops to Bai Yichen, even if he didn't get it this time, no matter how high the price was, he would spare no effort next time You have to get it.
She is called reluctant to part with children, not to be caught by wolves.
Throw a sesame seed, and bring back a watermelon when the time comes, it's a good deal.
Judging by Bai Yichen's appearance, it was obvious that he had been tricked by her, that he had fallen into her tricks, and it should be the same in the auction at that time.
"The princess is really brave." Someone couldn't help but praised, "I believe that if the princess is in business, she will be successful."
"Yes, I'm afraid that those who don't see will be worse than someone." One of them also said in cooperation.
That certain person must be Bai Yichen.
Meng Fuying just smiled softly, and then signed the contract with those people. These shops didn't have much profit in the first place, and she has already set up several shops in other places in the capital.
Bai Yichen's eyes had been staring at her closely all the time, as if they were about to penetrate her, and there was ice-cold determination in his slightly narrowed eyes.
"Meng Fuying, good, good, you're cruel." Seeing that the contract had been signed, Bai Yichen's lips became even more cold, and he said in a harsh voice, hum, didn't she just deliberately embarrass him? ?
This time, even if she succeeds, so what, he doesn't care about those shops at all.
He will definitely make her regret it.
Hmph, at the auction, no matter what he says, Xuanyuan Ye won't get that treasure. He didn't believe that Xuanyuanye could have more silver than him.
Moreover, his next plan must be accelerated. One day, he will completely defeat Xuanyuan Ye. At that time, he will let her come back and beg him, beg him to have her, just like before, and when the time comes Whether he wants her or not depends on his mood.
With her appearance, it is impossible for him to make her his wife.
"Thank you, Mr. Bai, for your compliment." Meng Fuying smiled slightly, and said very casually, not paying any attention to his murderous eyes.
However, she knew that her plan had been successfully completed.
"Let's go, let's go back, you've been busy for a long time, and you're tired." Xuanyuan Ye embraced her again, and said softly, seeing Bai Yichen's eyes, there was more coldness and hatred.
"Your Highness and the princess are really in love." Someone couldn't help saying enviously.
"Yes, Your Highness and the concubine really match each other." Another person couldn't help but said, but when he said this, some people changed their faces slightly. After all, Meng Fuying's appearance is not the same as Xuanyuan Ye's. Good match.
Bai Yichen's lips were slightly teased, and he glanced at the man slightly. If you flatter me, I'm afraid that the horse will be kicked.
"The concubine is smart and virtuous, and she has an extraordinary bearing. His highness is even more heroic and radiant. They are really a good match."
The man added slowly again, and everyone nodded slightly in agreement.
But Bai Yichen's complexion changed again, and there was a bit of anger hidden in his eyes again. After seeing Xuanyuan Ye slowly leaving with Meng Fuying in his arms, he turned around and left fiercely.
This time the auction plan was proposed by her to Xuanyuanye, asking Leibao for help. She was worried that it would be difficult, but she didn't expect it to be so smooth.
She had long thought that Xuanyuan Ye knew the leader of the cheetah, because Xuanyuan Ye had helped her in that incident.
She also wanted to know if the leader was Dongfang Shuo, but after thinking about it, she still didn't ask. After all, the less she knew about such a mysterious matter, the better.
And thinking that Dongfang Shuo is the prince of Beiyuan Kingdom after all, or she guessed wrong.
The two walked around the street for a while before returning to King Yi's Mansion.
As soon as she returned to Prince Yi's mansion, Qingzhu ran over eagerly and said in a low voice, "Princess, Meng Ruxue is publicly recruiting her husband at Prince Hou's mansion today."
When Qingzhu said this, he couldn't help but secretly took a deep breath.
This second young lady is so capable of making troubles. After such a thing happened, she even dared to recruit her husband.
Meng Fuying was stunned suddenly, and an unbelievable sense of astonishment quickly flashed through her eyes, didn't she? Meng Ruxue openly recruited her husband? Isn't this too ridiculous?
Daddy definitely allowed this to happen.
However, suddenly thinking that Dad is not in the capital now, but went to the Wind Clan, he couldn't help but gasp.
Dad was not in the capital, so they tossed desperately. Meng Ruxue looked like this, how could she marry someone?
In the past few days, she was concerned about Concubine Rou and the auction, but ignored Meng Ruxue's matter.
"Meng Ruxue asked three very strange questions, saying that as long as the answer satisfies her, she will marry him, and she also said that they will get married in three days." Qingzhu exhaled again and said in a low voice.
"Three strange questions?" Meng Fuying was slightly taken aback. What exactly does Meng Ruxue want to do? Even if the eldest lady wants to marry her, she is still a smart person, and she should have thought about the consequences of getting married. Why?
"Oh, there are so many people, so many people." Just at this time, Dong'er ran in hastily, shouted while running, and slowed down when she saw Xuanyuan Ye and Meng Fuying.
However, she walked in front of Meng Fuying and said with a surprised face, "Princess, there are many, many people in the Prince Hou's Mansion, all vying to answer the second lady's question, and they all want to marry the second lady. In fact, according to Er Miss's conditions, she doesn't have to worry about marrying at all, why would she do this?"
Meng Fuying's eyes narrowed slightly. After all, that matter has not been spread yet. Only a few people in the Hou Wang's mansion know about it, and her father has also issued an order not to allow anyone to spread it to outsiders, so outsiders don't know about it at all. What happened to Meng Ruxue, even Dong'er didn't know.
So, with Meng Ruxue's looks and talent, plus, there is still that rumor on her body, once the word is released to recruit a husband, those men will naturally compete, and the rushing ones will marry her.
Xuanyuan Ye also narrowed his eyes slightly, he was clearly aware of the consequences of this incident.
"Let's go and have a look." Meng Fuying turned around and walked outside quickly.
No matter what, she couldn't let Meng Ruxue spoil her father's reputation.
Hastily rushed to Prince Hou's Mansion, Meng Fuying couldn't help being shocked.
She thought that there might be a lot of people, but she didn't expect that there would be so many people. It was a few miles away from the Hou Wang Mansion, so she couldn't squeeze in.
From a distance, I saw a table outside the gate of Prince Hou's Mansion, and Meng Ruxue was sitting there. From the outside, it was still amazingly beautiful.
Meng Fuying narrowed her eyes slightly.
Hmph, Meng Ruxue, she won't let her succeed, her father is not in the capital, but she is still here.
