The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich Novel - Chapter 722
722 The Fight for the thousand-year-old Ginseng
A life for three hundred thousand taels, it was a very valuable deal.
Later on, it was because of his conscience and the persuasion of the Butler that he sent six guards.
This was the first time lin yuelan had let Zhou Xingfa go.
After all, in the end, zhou Xingfa found his conscience.
The second time the third Prince went to the Zhou mansion, he wanted this thousand-year-old ginseng.
!!
The reason why grandfather didn’t open his mouth and said that he would give it to the third Prince was because of Zhou Xingfa.
The reason why he took out the thousand-year ginseng was to save Zhou Xingfa’s business. If this thousand-year ginseng was given to the third Prince just like that, he would have broken his promise to his old friend.
Therefore, his grandfather would rather offend the third Prince than abandon his old friend.
But what did Zhou Xingfa do?
When the third Prince was threatening his grandfather, he stood at the side, not saying a word. He was afraid and nervous.
If it weren’t for Lin Xuxing’s actions, her grandfather might have been taken away by the third Prince.
In fact, if he had just opened his mouth and persuaded him to give the ginseng away, her grandfather would have definitely listened.
However, he didn’t. His purpose was to rely on this ginseng to make a comeback. He didn’t want to offend the third Prince, so he simply let Lin Yuelan’s grandfather face it alone.
Now, he didn’t want to offend the powerful third prince, but he also didn’t want to lose these hundred thousand taels of silver, so he set his eyes on her.
What a good plan.
Unfortunately, Lin yuelan had never been a person who was afraid of trouble.
upon hearing lin yuelan’s question, lin Qingsong replied very seriously, ” replying to master, the human heart is fickle! Moreover, this merchant’s main goal is profit. Old master only had a friendship with him twenty years ago, and they had never been in contact before, so it’s understandable that old master doesn’t understand him anymore!”
This meant that Lin Deshan did not know that Zhou Xingfa had completely become a profit-driven businessman.
After hearing this, lin yuelan thought for a moment and said, ” forget it. Grandfather only wanted to take out the ginseng to repay Zhou Xing’s kindness for saving his life twenty years ago. There’s no need for us to interfere.”
“Yes, master!” The other two agreed.
at this moment, ah nu asked with some anger in her heart, ” just now, you said that you would give me to that bullshit third prince. is that true? ”
Lin yuelan looked at the angry ah nu and raised her eyebrows. “of course, it’s fake.”
Hearing Lin yuelan say that it was fake, ah nu and the other two couldn’t think straight.
“What do you mean by that?” ah nu asked doubtfully.
Lin yuelan smiled but didn’t answer directly. Instead, she signaled her with her eyes.
Ah Nu looked at Lin yuelan’s expression and furrowed his bright and high brows. She followed Lin yuelan’s gaze and looked at the slave contract in her hand.
She was still a little confused as she flipped the contract over and over.
In the end, when she saw her own hand holding the contract, her tightly furrowed brows immediately relaxed, and her eyes immediately lit up. then, she beamed with joy and exclaimed, “I understand! ”
she finally understood. lin Xujie and lin Qingsong looked at each other, still confused.
However, Lin yuelan and ah Nu didn’t explain it to them.
Lin yuelan looked at the 1000-year-old ginseng. The bid had gone from 30000 to 130000, and it seemed that the price was getting higher and higher. The third Prince’s wish to get the 1000-year-old ginseng at the lowest price was probably going to be dashed.
because, from the few private rooms on the second floor, there would always be people coming out to outbid the third prince.
In room number one, Yuwen Feiye’s face turned green with anger as he looked at the rising bid.
He said furiously, ” who is this person who is going against me? When I know, I’ll cut them into pieces!”
“The walls have ears. your highness, please calm your anger!” the three advisors tried to persuade him.
Yuwen Feiye was getting more and more irritated by their voices.
He roared, ” calm down, calm down. how do you expect me to calm down? ”
Following this, his sharp eyes shot toward advisor Ma, who had given the advice.
he asked loudly, ” ma ding, didn’t you say that as long as I announce my name at the auction, no one would dare to compete with me for this treasure? Now, you see, it’s not just one or two people who are competing with me for this thousand-year ginseng, but several. what do you want this prince to do now?”
One of his female slaves had been snatched away, and he had been suppressing his anger, to begin with. Now, he had vented all of it on the three advisors.
The three advisors had never thought that such a situation would occur.
In their minds, Qingfeng city was not the capital city. The high and low-ranking officials, as well as the scholars and aristocrats, had to give face to the third Prince, not to mention the lowly merchants who reeked of money.
However, things were far beyond their expectations.
when the thousand-year ginseng’s starting bid of thirty thousand taels was called out, their private room was the first to bid.
wasn’t the meaning obvious enough?
this was obviously telling everyone present that the third prince was determined to get this thousand-year ginseng.
however, these people did not know what was good for them.
Following that, room number six offered 50000.
Then, the number two box was 80000.
Number six, one hundred thousand
number 12, 120000 silver.
Yuwen Feiye gritted his teeth, ” one hundred and thirty thousand.”
He had thought that he could get the treasure at the lowest price of 30000 taels, but now the bidding price was 130000 taels.
Looking at the momentum of the bidding, the price would only surge higher and higher. It was likely that they would not even be able to get it for 300000.
Yuwen Feiye roared at his subordinates, ” go and get zhou Xingfa. ”
When his subordinate was about to leave, he added, ” also, tell Zhou Xingfa to call Lin Deshan over.”
Since it was impossible to compete fairly, he could only ask Lin Deshan to hand it over.
As long as the seller made it public that he sold this thousand-year ginseng to him, it would be useless no matter how high the price was.
The subordinate immediately responded and went out.
The bidding for the thousand-year-old ginseng continued.
Zhou Xingfa was currently sitting at his usual resting spot, frowning as he pondered.
It was impossible to make Lin Yuelan give up the girl for free.
It was extremely difficult for him to spit out the money he had put into his pocket.
However, while the owner of box nine did not seem to be afraid of offending the third prince, he and the guang juyuan auction house could not afford to offend the third prince.
In fact, Lin Yuelan’s idea was the best one at the moment, but he felt the pinch.
Just as he was hesitating, someone knocked on the door again.
“Who is it?”
The person answered.
“The third Prince has ordered you and lin Deshan to come to room number one!”
Zhou Xingfa’s face darkened. There was a hint of anger in his expression. This anger was obviously directed at the third Prince, Yuwen Feiye. What else could it be that called him and lin Deshan to the no. 1 box at this time?
he was just trying to force Lin Deshan to sell him his treasure again.
However, Zhou Xingfa’s eyes brightened when he heard the higher bids outside and saw the heated gazes of the nobles.
That’s right, he had already achieved his goal this time.
In that case, the thousand-year-old ginseng wouldn’t be his in the end. it was going to be auctioned off. It didn’t matter who it was auctioned to. Even if the treasure was sold at a high price, he would only be taking the commission.
he didn’t care how much the commission was. He had already recovered guangju yuan’s reputation.
Therefore, it was not worth it to offend the powerful third Prince for a thousand-year-old ginseng that was not his.
After thinking things through, Zhou Xingfa went to the fifth private room to find Lin Deshan in a relaxed mood.
his idea was simple. he wanted Lin Deshan to give him the thousand-year-old ginseng.
