The peony is already under auction. When Fu Tian arrived, the auction had just started. According to the owner of the peony, this is an old peony with a flowering age of nearly 20 years. It has been taken care of very well. It was brought over this year, immediately. It became the finale of the Peony Flower Club.
Many people who got the news in advance waited for this peony to show up while holding their breath.
There were a lot of people asking for the price. The auction price started directly from one thousand taels, and at first it was five hundred two hundred and five hundred taels. Later, some people were impatient and called five thousand taels in one breath.
The crowd gasped, and the one who called out five thousand taels was a man with the appearance of a rich businessman. He looked around triumphantly, determined to win the peony on the stage.
"Six thousand taels." A thick male voice suddenly rang out from the whispering crowd. Fu Tian was still observing the situation. Hearing this voice moved, he looked at the source of the sound.
It turned out to be a familiar face.
As I said before, apart from the direct branch of the Fu family, all the side branches went out to explore, and the best development among them was Fu Tian's second uncle Fu Zhengde, who was doing business in Qingyang.
Fu Zhengde's great-grandfather and the great-grandfather of the Fu family are brothers. Fu Youqin wants to call him second cousin, while Fu Tian wants to call him second uncle. Just last year when Fu Zhengde came back to worship the ancestors, it was only because of Fu Shuyue's affairs that the two families were not very happy.
Unexpectedly, I met again here now.
"Six thousand taels, is there anyone else bidding?" The owner of the peony looked at the crowd below with joy. At this time, there were only a few people who bid, but every time the price was asked, the price of peony would be pushed up by one. As a seller, he is naturally very happy.
"Seven thousand five hundred taels." The person in front of Fu Zhengde added another five hundred taels. Hesitation was already in his voice. Now if the price increases again, he may have to withdraw from the bidding.
Fu Tian, who had been silent, said, "Nine thousand taels."
There was an uproar in the crowd around him, and they all looked at the young man who had been silent.
Fu Tian ignored those inquisitive sights, and was sure to win this Wei Zi ambition.
Fu Zhengde was stunned when he heard "Nine Thousand Liangs", and then he realized that the voice was obviously still a young person. Seeing a person standing in the center of the noise, it was indeed a young person, but it was blocked by the crowd and could not see his face clearly.
He gritted his teeth and continued to increase the price, "Nine thousand five hundred taels."
He must buy this Wei Zi. The tenth day is the Queen Mother's birthday. I heard that the Queen Mother loves peony very much. This Wei Zi has a very good appearance. It is rare to see it in ten years. He has asked someone to catch it with the Yongan Prince. Relationship, as long as the elder son sends the peony to the queen mother, he will surely be able to please the queen mother. When the elder son helps to make a few words before the queen mother, he can also fight for the place of the Qingyang emperor merchant.
Although the two of them have different goals, the one they want to send is indeed the same.
Fu Tian is not short of money, he lacks a suitable birthday gift. Now that things are in front of him, it is impossible for him to give up. What's more, Fu Zhengde humiliated Fu Shuyue in Qingyang, Fu Tian still has to remember. To make him modest makes the elders even more impossible.
So he unceremoniously added a thousand taels.
The owner of Peony almost broke his voice, "Eleven thousand taels!"
Fu Zhengde suffocated and finally looked at the center of the noise again. He pushed aside the crowd and walked in front of Fu Tian, "This little brother, this peony is extremely important to me, can you—"
Halfway through his words, his expression suddenly froze, and he said in shock: "You Ling? Why are you here?"
Then he reacted very quickly, with a smile on his face, "This is the first time you come to Qingyang? Will you go to the mansion with me later, you photographed this peony for fun? Er uncle wants to be big Use it, don't mess around..."
Without waiting for Fu Tian to reply, he finished all by himself, and patted Fu Tian's shoulder with a smile and affection. He seemed to have forgotten that the relationship between the two was not very harmonious when he was in Sifang Town. Some faintly look down upon.
Fu Tian's expression remained unchanged, and he raised his hand to stop his movements, "Second uncle, public is in the public, private in the private, this peony... or the higher price."
Seeing that the two of them knew each other, the owner of Peony stunned his wrists. Unexpectedly, the young man refused to let him go and wanted to continue filming, so he hurriedly said, "Yes, this master, 11 thousand taels, would you add it? "
Fu Zhengde's expression was distorted for a while, and he almost couldn't maintain his smile. He said with a chuckle, "You buy it and put it in a good-looking way. If you like it, Second Uncle will find other things for you."
Fu Tian shook his head and looked at him with a smile, "How did the second uncle know that I bought it to look good at home, maybe it is to be given to other people, only the appearance of this Wei Zi can be worthy of it? The person I want to give away, I will not give in."
Fu Zhengde: "You..."
Seeing that they were still talking, the host of Peony on the stage came in with a sharp voice and shouted: "The first time..."
Anxious, Fu Zhengde immediately shouted: "Eleven thousand five hundred taels!"
"Thirteen thousand taels." Fu Tian turned around with his back, his expression indifferent.
Fu Zhengde felt that his heart, liver, spleen and lungs were hurting, and gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Where did you get so much money?!"
Fu Tian looked at him with an innocent expression, "The Fu family's fortunes have been accumulated over several generations, and it's a mere twelve to three thousand taels. No need to worry about the second uncle, I can still afford it."
"You, you..." Fu Zhengde pointed at him, speechless, and had to suffocate his breath and turn his head to continue bidding, "Thirteen thousand five hundred taels."
"Fifteen thousand taels."
Fu Tian didn't have the slightest reluctance. For every five hundred taels Fu Zhengde added, he added 1,500 taels to round up for him.
In the end, the price reached 22 thousand taels.
Fu Zhengde stared at the stage, his hands hung on his side tightly clasped, panting heavily.
There was no one in the audience to make an offer for a long time. The owner of Peony waited and saw that Fu Zhengde did not speak, and said: "Twenty-two thousand and two times..."
"Twenty-two thousand and two times."
"Twenty-two thousand, two or three times, a deal!"
There was an excited smile on his face. Looking at Fu Tian's gaze, he wanted to see a pile of walking gold ingots, "This son, Wei Zi is yours. Look...Is this a payment or cash?"
"Take Wei Zi with you and go with me to Kanglehoufu to get money."
The owner of Peony did not expect that this wealthy young man would have something to do with the Hou Mansion, but seeing that he was dressed in brocade clothes, he was generous in his shots, and spent twenty thousand taels of silver without blinking his eyes, and he felt that only princes and nobles had such confidence. .
The owner of Peony instructed people to carefully lift the tall Wei Zi up and put it on the carriage, and then personally led the horse and walked towards Dongzheng Street behind Fu Tian.
Seeing that there was no excitement, the crowd dispersed.
Only Fu Zhengde stayed still, looking at Fu Tian's back.
The "Kang Le Hou Mansion" that Fu Tian said was lingering in his mind. He has been in Qingyang for many years. Although he was only a businessman, he has met many officials or nobles. Although those people may not put him in their eyes, they did not hesitate to give him some news from their fingers.
For example, on the birthday of the Queen Mother, he followed the path of an official and got to know Wang Shizi of Yongan. Another example is the newly sealed Kanglehou.
Others only knew that Kanglehou came from the south, but he knew more. This Kanglehou not only came from Nanming County, but also had the same origin with him. He was from Sifang Town.
He has been guessing which family in Sifang Town flew onto the branch and turned into a phoenix, but he guessed all the impressed families, but didn't guess the Fu family.
Before today, he was still thinking about whether he could follow someone else's line and have a relationship with the newly promoted Master Hou, but he didn't expect to meet so soon, and it was the Fu family.
He thought of what he said to Fu Tian during the sacrifice to the ancestors, and then thought of Fu Tian's attitude just now, and swallowed hard.
Fu Tian happily took the flowers back to the Hou Mansion, and asked Daifu to take out the bank notes, settle the silver, and move the peony flowers to his yard like a treasure.
Putting the peony in the best lighted place in the yard, Fu Tian waved back and walked around Wei Zi twice with joy, getting closer. He felt the vigorous vitality in Wei Zi even more clearly.
But what is strange is that this Wei Zi hasn't spoken since the beginning. Fu Tian was trying to tentatively ask, he heard a somewhat old female voice: "Lady, what do you always watch me do?"
Fu Tian was taken aback by her sudden utterance, and then said, "How do you know that I understand?"
The flowers and plants in the past were only when he took the initiative to talk to the other party to communicate with him, and he had never taken the initiative to ask him like this Wei Zi.
Wei Zi was getting older and speaking slowly, "Feeling."
It said and said: "I still feel that you have a power that makes me very comfortable."
Fu Tian became even more confused, "What power?"
Wei Zi said it didn't know, "Can you divide me a bit? I can trade things with you."
Fu Tian wondered one after another. For a while he wondered what power I had in me, and for a while I didn't know how to distribute it to you, and you have a flower that can't run or move. What can I change?
He thought to himself, and asked the question unconsciously.
Wei Zi said, "Don't you want to give me away? I absorb the essence of the sun and the moon all the year round. People who stay with me will also be affected by me. Not to mention that I am not immune to all diseases, but I can also be healthy."
"If you can divide that kind of power into me, the more sun and moon essence I can absorb, the more benefits for those who stay with me."
Fu Tian was suspicious, "Absorb the essence of the sun and the moon? Will you become refined?" Although he was reborn once, this kind of weirdness is still rare, and I have never seen any plant say such a thing before.
"How can it be so easy to become a spirit." Wei Zi has obviously experienced a lot, and his tone of voice is very vicissitudes of life. "There are millions of flowers and plants in this world, most of them are ignorant. It's not easy for people with a spiritual orifice to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon in a stable manner. They are tossed and sold, and their luck is gone.
"Not to mention that this cultivation also talks about fate and luck. I have lived for more than 20 years, and I have never heard of anyone who has cultivated to become refined." If you really want to say it, even it is rare.
Hearing that he could not become a spirit, Fu Tian heaved a sigh of relief, otherwise he would send the flowers to the palace. After a few years, he would run away as a spirit, and that would cause a major incident.
