Zhou Yan's voice was very soft. If Lin Xing hadn't listened carefully, he would have almost missed his words.

She looked up and saw an incredible look on her face in Zhou Yan's eyes.

Slowly, neither of them spoke, but looked at each other and smiled.

On the high platform, Little Red Sleeve danced like a charm, and slowly walked out of the veil, revealing her stunning face, which made the men in the audience go crazy for it.

Staring at Xiao Hongxiu's face, Lin Xing thought a lot, but in the end she had to admit that Zhou Yan was right.

If this face were not protected by Chunfeng Tower, I'm afraid it would have died long ago.

Scarce things are resources, whether it is beauty or money.

Those men wanted to get Xiao Hongxiu, just like the prince wanted to get the Zhao family. Xiao Hongxiu couldn't choose his benefactor, and the Zhao family could only risk Zhao Yi's life to choose who they wanted to follow.

Seeing that Lin Xing's mood had recovered, Zhou Yan turned around. Because of this, he missed Lin Xing's gaze towards him.

Lin Xing thought in her heart that Zhao Yi was willing to make friends with this person, but was unwilling to join in the troubles with the prince, which was enough to prove Zhou Yan's character and character.

Chun's mother twisted her waist, walked to Xiao Hongxiu, hugged her and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, choking and saying: "Xiao Hongxiu is like my biological daughter, she is the living sign of our Chunhong Building, look at it today

In view of the enthusiastic support of all our patrons, the starting price is one tael of silver, and the one with the highest bid will win——"

"The young master from Yajian on the second floor comes out, eight hundred taels."

Before Chun's mother finished speaking, a turtle's shout suddenly came from the second floor. Suddenly, the hall was silent. After a moment, the whole hall was shocked, and the sound of gasping for air could be heard.

Nian Ruipeng was the first to bid, and eight hundred taels was the highest-priced item in the history of Chunfeng Tower.

When he screamed, everyone in the audience became spectators. Those who dared to scream were not as rich as him, and those who were rich did not dare to scream. No one wanted to make enemies with the Nian family over a little red sleeve.

Just when everyone thought that Xiao Hongxiu was Nian Ruipeng's bag, another shout came from the second floor: "Master Zhao comes out of the elegant room on the second floor, eight hundred and one taels."

This time Chunfeng Tower fell into silence again, and even Chun's mother rarely showed a trace of embarrassment.

It's only one or two cents more than Nian Ruipeng. This is a slap in Nian Ruipeng's face.

But soon, the people below reacted, "Mr. Zhao? Which Mr. Zhao? Could it be Zhao Jie?"

"Isn't the Zhao family all gone? A few days ago, I saw the Zhao family's shop kicking out their clerks. I guess they are just the weakest but the weakest, and they won't last long!"

"The Zhao family can't survive much longer. Zhao Jie still dares to spend a lot of money on Chunfeng Tower. Aren't you afraid that his beautiful stepmother will teach him a lesson?"

"A lesson must be learned. If I had such a young and beautiful stepmother, who would come to Chunhong Mansion..."

Lin Xing didn't hear the next words clearly, but she could guess how nasty it was.

She raised her hand to help Zhou Yan's hand covering her ear, "Brother Yan, don't worry, I'm not that fragile."

It's just a few dirty words, what's not to like?

More than those words, she wanted to know whether Zhao Jie's trick was effective.

The next moment, Mr. Turtle's loud cry sounded again from the second floor: "Young Master Nian will give you one thousand taels!"

"Master Zhao, one thousand and one tael."

"Young Master Nian, one thousand two hundred taels!"

"Master Zhao, one thousand two hundred and one tael."

"..."

The bidding on the second floor didn't stop for a moment. Zhao Jie always had one tael more than Nian Ruipeng, until Nian Ruipeng directly shouted out the price of 10,000 taels, and the people who were talking downstairs looked at the second floor in shock.

Some people lamented that Nian Ruipeng really liked Xiao Hongxiu, while others lamented that Nian Ruipeng fell into Zhao Jie's trick.

Only Zhao Jie, who was in the private room, knocked on the table unhurriedly, and said lightly in the expectant eyes of Mr. Turtle next to him: "The Nian family is indeed a rich man in Yuzhou. I am willing to be the loser. This little red sleeve

It belongs to Mr. Nian. But Mr. Nian must remember not to pay on credit again, otherwise you won't be able to take him away and your face will be lost here, which is not worth it."

The people in the audience were still waiting for Zhao Jie to continue raising the price, but ended up watching the excitement. However, the news that Nian Ruipeng spent tens of thousands of dollars to favor Xiao Hongxiu had spread throughout Yuzhou.

"Although it cost ten thousand taels, Nian Ruipeng showed that the Nian family is extremely wealthy. There will be more people looking for cooperation with the Nian family in the future, right?" Lin Xing looked up at Zhou Yan and asked.

But Zhou Yan shook his head, "Before the pearls, those businessmen look down on the Nian family. Although Nian Ruipeng gave out ten thousand taels of silver, these ten thousand taels were not paid for by himself, but by others. Nian Ruipeng is

As the only seedling of the Lian family, if the Nian family falls into the hands of such an impatient young man in the future, it will be a matter of time before it declines."

Lin Xing thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the case.

If Zhao Jie had not been there to provoke Nian Ruipeng, he would have only asked for 800 taels at most. The 10,000 taels were the confidence of the Nian family, but not Nian Ruipeng's own confidence.

Upstairs, after Zhao Jie finished speaking, he leisurely walked out waving his fan. When he heard the noise next door, he walked over with a proud smile, pushed open the door, leaned against the door frame, and shouted at the furious Nian Rui.

Peng raised his eyebrows and chuckled.

"Master Nian, do you regret it?"

In front of so many people, Nian Ruipeng couldn't admit it even if he really regretted it. He could only say with a pinched neck: "Who said I regret it? Don't say ten thousand taels, just one hundred thousand taels, five hundred thousand taels,

My Nian family can use it too! You poor guy, what else can you do besides targeting me?"

If it weren't for Zhao Jie himself, how could he have spent ten thousand taels to buy Xiaohongxiu?

The more Nian Ruipeng thought about it, the angrier he became. After Zhao Jie left a light "Don't forget to pay" and left, he immediately winked at the friends around him.

The spring breeze with Xiaohongxiu may not be worth ten thousand taels, but Zhao Jie's life is definitely worth it!

However, except for Nian Ruipeng, several others were still hesitant.

They knew what Nian Ruipeng was like. If Zhao Jie offended him and caused him to lose face and pay money, he would definitely not let Zhao Jie go easily.

But the Nian family has prospered over the years, and they can't compare.

It is said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how depressed Zhao Jie is, he still has Chang'an Hou Shizi to support him, so who do you think he is?

Seeing that none of these people dared to move, Nian Ruipeng became angry and punched the table, "Have you all fucking forgotten who is raising you? I'm warning you, I don't want the Nian family to cut you off.

Just let me handle the business!"

When these bitches tried to please him and wanted a piece of the Nian family's pie, they didn't dare to refuse him like they did now!

Being threatened like this by Nian Ruipeng, those people could only obey and do things.

Fortunately, God helped them. When Zhao Jie left Chunfeng Tower, he did not go directly back to Nanluogu Lane. Instead, he went to a small alley where he could not see his fingers, which gave these people an opportunity to take advantage of.

They called a boy and tied him up with a sack, beating him and kicking him.

When he was fighting vigorously, a familiar voice sounded from behind.
