Chapter 214: Strange phenomenon from the sky, booming business, bidding quota

Chapter 214: Strange phenomenon from the sky, booming business, bidding quota
Fu Changsheng, who was at the head of the group, stood up and walked out quickly.

Upon seeing this, Patriarch He was puzzled as to what kind of distinguished guest could be welcomed by Fu Changsheng in person. Patriarch He couldn't help but probe outside with his spiritual sense.

But I saw two beautiful figures coming together outside the door.

One is Shangguan Hongyu, who always likes to wear red, and the other is the newly appointed Palace Master Xu.

Patriarch He was shocked:
"Does the Fu family have any relationship with the newly appointed Palace Master Xu?"

He remembered correctly.

Rumor has it that Cao Xiang'er, who has already broken through to become a Purple Mansion master, is friends with Liu Meizhen, but the new Palace Master Xu is from the ninth-rank Xu family in Huaibei Prefecture. As far as he knows, Fu Changsheng has never even left Huainan Prefecture, so how could he be related to Palace Master Xu?

Even Chief Cui on the opposite side was visibly stunned.

He never expected that the Fu family had such strong connections.

He is actually related to two generations of the Palace Masters of the Zhenshi Division. After all, there is only one vacancy left in Huainan Prefecture for a noble family to be promoted to the eighth rank.

If the Fu family has a relationship with the Zhenshi Division, then they will undoubtedly win at the starting line. At least they will be the first to know about various policy news.

Seeing this, Chief Qi, who was standing next to Chief Cui, whispered:

"Brother Cui, even if the Fu family has someone in the Zhenshi Division, they are still far inferior to your Cui family. Moreover, our three families are united as one, and we are much stronger than the Fu family. Brother Cui, don't worry too much."

"Um"

Patriarch Cui thought so too.

The Fu family’s rise was rapid, but after all, its foundation was weak.

and.

The Fu family's fiefdom is right at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Mountains. It is unclear whether they can withstand the coming beast tide.

Patriarch Cui's worries disappeared instantly.

the other side.

Fu Changsheng had not expected that Palace Master Xu would come in person. When he went forward to welcome him into the house, he heard Palace Master Xu's voice transmission:

"Sir Cao, the governor, specifically asked me to take good care of your Fu family before I was promoted."

Fu Changsheng was shocked.

He thought that Cao Xiang'er had cut off all feelings after the incident, but it seemed that after giving birth to the child, out of consideration for the child's future, she still could not be as heartless as she said.

Everyone was a little surprised at Palace Master Xu's arrival.

Liu Meizhen was the calmest person in the whole audience. She turned her head to look at the twins who were carried out, and glanced at Fu Ge'er, who had a seven-star mole on the palm of his left hand.

With the entrance of newcomers.

The whole atmosphere reached its climax.

After the dinner was over and the guests left, Fu Changsheng did not see Yu Qingru come to the wedding banquet. He asked about it and learned that Yu Qingru had some labor this morning and was about to give birth.

As a biological father.

Upon hearing the news, Fu Changsheng made up an excuse and immediately rushed to the Yu family's fiefdom.

It was different from what he expected.

Although the Yu family's main residence was busy, everything was in order.

Yu Qingru, who was giving birth inside, heard that Fu Changsheng had arrived and asked the maid to prepare tea.

About a cup of tea passed.

Fu Changsheng, who was sitting in the yard, suddenly looked up.

However, colorful auspicious clouds suddenly appeared in the sky above Yu's house, where there was originally no moon or stars. As the clouds gathered together, one could vaguely see fairies playing music and fairies dancing.

In Xiangyun Center.

It seemed that one could vaguely see an enshrined index finger gently pointing towards the delivery room below.

Followed by.

hum!
All visions disappeared.

Fu Changsheng, who was sitting on the armchair, suddenly opened his eyes:
"Am I asleep?"

Was the vision just now just an imagination?
In doubt.

Suddenly.

The sound of a baby crying was heard in the delivery room.

Followed by.

The midwife smiled and brought out a baby girl.

Fu Changsheng skillfully took the little guy over. The little guy was completely red, with his eyebrows and eyes not relaxed, but Fu Changsheng's heart melted.

but.

If he remembers correctly.

Intelligence mentioned.

Qingru is pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl, and there should be another one in her belly.

next moment.

The midwife's surprised and happy voice came from the delivery room:
"There is one more, there is one more in my belly"

The second one went much more smoothly.

After only a dozen breaths, the crying of a baby was heard.

at the same time.

A familiar mechanical voice came from Fu Changsheng's sea of ​​consciousness:
"Ding"

"You have added a talented offspring to your family, and you have obtained 610 contribution points."

Followed by.

The contribution value on the panel instantly changed to six thousand.

Fu Changsheng suddenly realized:
"In that case, then the vision I dreamt about before was real?"

The information only mentioned that there was only one child with outstanding talent, but no one knew which one it was.

After the delivery room was cleaned up.

The maid stepped forward and knelt before Fu Changsheng and said:

“Patriarch Fu, our patriarch wants you to come in.”

Arrived at the delivery room.

Yu Qingru was half-leaning on the bed, looking slightly pale. She looked away from her children and smiled weakly:

"Please ask the master to name the two children."

Fu Changsheng pondered for a while.

The names of his four previous children were homophones for prosperity and strength. He only hoped that Qingru's two children would grow up safely, so he said:

"How about calling your daughter An'an and your son Ningning?"

Yu Qingru murmured twice.

Nod slightly.

Fu Changsheng took out two prepared bracelets from his storage bag and put them on the child: "Each of their brothers has one of these bracelets. Wearing them can condense the soul and temper the body."

Yu Qingru did not refuse.

Then he said:

"Master, I want to participate in the Wanning Chamber of Commerce auction in three days."

"You just gave birth to a child, how can you run around like this?"

Fu Changsheng declined without thinking.

Follow the itinerary.

They had to set off tomorrow. Otherwise, if they went too late, they might not even get a spot in the auction. Fu Changsheng said, "Just let me know what you want to bid on."

This is exactly what Yu Qingru was waiting for.

He took out a treasure bag from under the pillow and handed it to Fu Changsheng:
"Patriarch, our Yu family needs to be promoted to the ninth rank within ten years. Now, besides me, we are still short of a foundation-building cultivator. Please help me bid for a foundation-building pill at the auction site."

Although it is said that there are dozens of Foundation Establishment Pills at the auction this time.

But there were too many people.

I'm afraid the price will only be higher, not lower, than before.

Fu Changsheng took the treasure bag and nodded slightly:
"Okay, I will bid for the foundation-building pill you want, and you can just rest and recuperate."

The Yu family was promoted to the ninth rank.

Then the other condition for their Fu family to be promoted to the eighth rank is half met, and Fu Changsheng will not refuse it either publicly or privately.

Stayed with the child and Qingru for a while.

Yu Qingru herself was also exhausted, so she said, "Master, please go back. You still have to travel early tomorrow morning."

Return to the family from the Yu family fiefdom.

Fu Changsheng thought Mei Zhen would come to question him, but when they were about to leave for Wanning Market the next day, Mei Zhen's face showed no sign of abnormality, as if she had no idea that he had been to Yu's house last night, and she did not mention the matter at all.
Fu Changsheng was touched and vaguely felt guilty.

So I took the initiative to say:

"Meizhen, do you have anything you want to bid on or buy? Make a list for me."

Liu Meizhen smiled and shook her head.

The more she did this, the more Fu Changsheng felt that he owed her.

Liu Qingmin and Chief Wu also went to Wanning Market together. Chief Wu's pair of cranes remained at the Fu family, so the two of them rode on Fu Changsheng's green python.

Arrived at the gate of the market.

However, there was already a long queue in front of the market gate.

The three of them landed on the ground from the green python and saw the crowds of people. Chief Wu immediately flattered, "Chief Fu, you can take a rest over there. I'll go and line up. When it's our turn, you can come over."

"No, just follow me."

Fu Changsheng bypassed the long queue.

Arrived at the small gate on the west side.

Compared to the bustling main gate, this place seemed very quiet. The gatekeeper was a member of the Cui family. When he saw Fu Changsheng, he quickly saluted:
"Meet Patriarch Fu"

After Fu Changsheng presented the token and walked through the spirit mirror, the city gate was immediately opened.

Patriarch Wu and Liu Qingmin looked at each other.

really.

The treatment will be different after being promoted to a noble family.

Entered Fangshi.

There was a noise.

However, the market town was crowded with people, many of whom were monks from Huaibei Prefecture. The entire Wanning market town was welcoming the biggest event in a century, and groups of monks wearing the uniforms of the Zhenshi Division were patrolling in the market town.

Chief Wu and Liu Qingmin followed Fu Changsheng closely, with no intention of strolling around. Seeing this, Fu Changsheng arrived at the inn and planned to book a room for them to stay in. However, when he asked, he found that the inn was full. Fu Changsheng frowned:
"In that case, you can stay in the backyard of our Fu family store for a few days."

Patriarch Wu and Liu Qingmin were deeply moved.

Otherwise, they would have to stay outside until the bidding started.

But the market outside is full of all kinds of people. They all carry with them the wealth accumulated by their families over decades. How could they dare to stay outside like this? If they are not careful, their storage bags may be snatched away by strong men.

Arrived at the Fu family’s Wandan Pavilion.

There were three layers of shops inside and outside, and the business was booming.

At the door.

There was a striking banner hanging on it:

"A century-old event, 22% off on all elixirs in the store"

The Fu family's medicines have always been clearly priced, so this discount is obviously a real offer, rather than raising the price and then giving a 28% discount.

Therefore.

The old customers flocked in.

As more people came, new customers, especially those from Huaibei Prefecture who were visiting for the first time, would come forward to take a look just to see the novelty. Once they saw that the products were really affordable, they would buy them without hesitation.

How popular the business is.

It has the best business on the whole street.

The pills were sold out almost as soon as they were put on the shelves.

When Chief Wu saw this scene, he was filled with envy and whispered to Liu Qingmin, "Brother Liu, I'm afraid your in-laws are already very wealthy."

According to this passenger flow.

I'm afraid he has already made a fortune.

Liu Qingmin was also envious and sighed:
"Back then, Meizhen was willing to turn against the Liu family in order to marry Changsheng. Now it seems that this decision was extremely wise."

If Meizhen is here.

Their Liu family had long been submerged in the tide of history, just like the Zhang and Li families before them.

Fu Changsheng led them into the courtyard through the back door:
"You guys stay here. I'm going to the Wanning Chamber of Commerce to find out about the auction."

"Thank you for your help, Chief Fu."

Chief Wu bowed.

They didn't dare go outside because of the noise and friction, and they were bound to have conflicts with others.

Fu Changsheng walked out of Wandan Pavilion and headed straight for Wanning Chamber of Commerce. Although they had arrived three days in advance, this year's auction seemed to be even more popular than he had expected.

Arrived at Wanning Chamber of Commerce.

There were also a lot of people here. After Fu Changsheng showed the VIP token, he was taken to the second floor by the shopkeeper, and Elder Qin received him personally.

Fu Changsheng bowed and said:

"Elder Qin, long time no see"

Last time.

Fu Changsheng still came to entrust the Wanning Chamber of Commerce to help him make the elixir.

Elder Qin stroked his beard with a smile, and his consciousness fell on Fu Changsheng, but his body trembled, somewhat incredulous: "Patriarch Fu, have you broken through to the eighth level of foundation building?"

If he remembered correctly.

It has only been about twenty years since the other party broke through to the foundation-building stage.

This cultivation speed is not much slower than that of some gifted people.

Elder Qin was filled with emotion.

The two exchanged greetings for a while.

Fu Changsheng said:

"Elder Qin, I heard that entry into the auction site is anonymous, so is there a limit on the number of people who can enter?"

"Of course there are. Look at the group of people outside. Even if they are not here to bid, they want to go in and see what's going on. Our auction venue is so small, so to enter, first you need to verify your capital. You need to pay 10,000 spirit stones as a deposit. Of course, these spirit stones are not admission tickets, but just basic bargaining chips for bidding. Secondly, because the number of places to enter the venue is limited, those who enter the venue must hand in a commodity for bidding. The value of this commodity cannot be lower than the second level, and it must be relatively scarce."

Two conditions.

First of all, a large number of people were eliminated.

This is understandable.

If not.

Fu Changsheng would not come to Wanning Chamber of Commerce just after arriving in the market.

Fu Changsheng said:

"Elder Qin, is it possible to bring subordinates into this auction house?"

"According to the rules, you are not allowed to do so. However, Patriarch Fu, you are a distinguished guest. Based on my authority, I can allow you to bring one person in."

This is Fu Changsheng's first time participating in an auction.

This was beyond his expectations.

After all, he had promised the head of the Wu tribe and Liu Qingmin before. Fu Changsheng handed a box to Elder Qin without leaving any trace:
"Elder Qin, please be flexible. I need one more vacancy."

Elder Qin scanned the contents of the box with his spiritual sense.

Hesitated for a moment.

He sighed and said:

"Whatever, it's a rare chance to meet Patriarch Fu."

talking.

Elder Qin pushed the box back and didn't put it away.

This way.

Then he owed Elder Qin a favor, but that's how human relationships work, only when you give and take can the relationship become closer.

Fu Changsheng asked if any auction list had been leaked. Elder Qin shook his head and smiled without saying anything, obviously to maintain the mystery.

of course.

Just those fifty or sixty foundation-building pills are the biggest bait.

Elder Qin handed Fu Changsheng a token to enter the auction venue and said:

"Patriarch Fu, according to the rules, you have to take out a spiritual object as an auction item."

Fu Changsheng searched around in his storage bag.

Something truly scarce.

Naturally, he was reluctant to put it up for auction.

He patted the storage bag, and a box floated towards Elder Qin. Elder Qin opened it and raised his eyebrows. "The wings of a two-headed duck are a rare second-level spiritual material for refining flying instruments. However, since it has not been refined yet, we will bid for it at a starting price of 300 spiritual stones. What do you think, Patriarch Fu?"

The starting price is not the selling price.

The lower the price.

Instead, more people are bidding.

Fu Changsheng nodded slightly:
"Then I'll have to trouble Elder Qin."

Fu Changsheng left the Wanning Chamber of Commerce.

at this time.

A graceful figure walked out of the cabin behind Elder Qin.

Qin Ruyi looked puzzled:
"Grandfather, according to the rules, if you want to bring someone into the auction, one spot will cost two thousand spirit stones. Since you want to do a favor for Patriarch Fu, you should tell him the truth."

"Silly girl, if I had said it bluntly, then this favor would only be two thousand spirit stones."

Elder Qin raised his hand and took a sip of Wuling tea.

Two thousand spirit stones are just a token of appreciation from the Wanning Chamber of Commerce. The real favor is not here.

Qin Ruyi's eyes turned and she understood immediately.

but.

There was another thing she still couldn't figure out:
"Grandfather, when the Cui family came before, you only gave them one admission quota. Do you think the last eighth-rank quota in Huainan Prefecture will fall to the Fu family? Now the Cui family has everything ready, except for the court merit points and the appearance of two ninth-rank families in the fiefdom. Compared with the Fu family, they undoubtedly have an absolute chance of winning."

Elder Qin put down the teacup.

His eyes narrowed slightly:
"Ruyi, do you know how many years it took for Fu Changsheng to develop the Fu family from the second level of Qi training to one of the top ninth-grade aristocratic families?"

“Less than 30 years”

"Yes, in less than 30 years. People always say that things change over time, but the Fu family has grown to this size in less than 30 years. Even when they were penniless, they were able to develop so rapidly. Now, not only are they protected by the 8th-rank Shangguan family, but they also have someone in the Zhenshi Division to look after them. Do you think that in another 10 years, they will be able to match the Cui family?"

It took the Cui family hundreds of years to develop the business to this scale.

But it only took the Fu family less than thirty years.

Qin Ruyi suddenly realized:
"Grandfather is still far-sighted!"

Qin Ruyi glanced around and whispered:

"Grandfather, I heard that the Fu family's mistress launched the operation immediately after entering the Zhenshi Division. Someone above is spreading the word, but in fact..."

"As one wishes!"

Not finished yet.

He was interrupted by Elder Qin

"Be careful!"

Today, Cao Xiang'er is no longer a useless chess piece of the fifth-rank Cao family.

The opponent himself was already a Purple Mansion repairman, and had also taken up the post of pacification envoy. Even in the fifth-rank Cao family, he could have a say or two. No matter what the higher-ups said, it was not something they could criticize.

Elder Qin looked solemn and said:
"Ruyi, disaster comes from the mouth, you must remember this"

"Yes, Grandfather, it was my grandson who was reckless for a moment."

Fu Changsheng came out of Wanning Market.

After returning to Wandan Pavilion.

Fu Yongshang had just finished a job and came in without touching the ground. Seeing that Fu Changsheng had brought Chief Wu and Liu Qingmin with him, he immediately said:

"Master, it's rumored outside that it's hard to get a spot in this auction, and unlike in the past when you could bring your followers in, this time I heard that only one person can enter with one token."

Patriarch Wu and Liu Qingmin's faces changed slightly when they heard this.

Fu Changsheng just came back.

They hadn't had time to ask about the result yet.

Hear the words.

Everyone looked at Fu Changsheng with concern.

Fu Changsheng drank a sip of Wuling tea:
"Patriarch Wu, father-in-law, don't worry. Since I can promise to take you into the auction site, I will naturally find a way."

In other words.

This is true. Liu Qingmin gritted his teeth and said:
"Patriarch Fu, if...if you really can't bring anyone in, please bring my spirit stones with you. If possible, just help me bid for a foundation-building pill."

Your life is in the hands of others.

Liu Qingmin trusted Fu Changsheng, so he immediately untied the storage bag from his waist and handed it to Fu Changsheng.
