Chapter 57 Fishing
At the bottom of the government office steps in Yangzhou, in front of the big stone lion on the left.

Du Chengyu took five or six family members, blocked Shao Cong and Ren Shaochun at the gate of the government office, and taunted them wantonly.If Shen Qingling hadn't greeted them in advance, then when Shen Qingling arrived, Du Chengyu might have already been lying on the ground.

"What? Mr. Du Xiaolang is going to cause trouble in the street in front of the government officials?" Shen Qingling got off her horse, threw the reins to Ren Shaochun, then turned to look at Du Chengyu, "Listen to the next sentence of advice, you are out here Ah, it's better to proceed with caution. If you fight against others in public, it would be demeaning."

The scene of being reprimanded a few days ago is so vivid that Du Chengyu feels a little apprehensive when he sees Shen Qingling now.

It's just that he thought about it again, he came here to buy things with money, and he was in the government office, how could he be afraid of a run-down little lady?Immediately straightened his back, and replied: "What? You opened this mansion, Miss Shen? Only you are allowed to come, no one else is allowed to come?"

At this time, a lot of buyers had already gathered at the gate of the government office, and the others were afraid of the wealth of the Du family, so most of them didn't come close, and only stood at the opposite side of the street from afar.

The yamen servants counted and came out to announce the shopfronts participating in the bidding today, and then invited all the buyers to sit in the house affairs hall of the government yamen.

The sellers were also invited to the government office.

Unlike buyers, sellers usually stay in the background, waiting for prices to settle before coming out.When the time comes, handing over the money with one hand and the land deed with the other hand will be regarded as the completion of a transaction.

Shen Qingling led Ren Shaochun and Shao Cong to sit in the corner of the house affairs hall, and then took out the fried peanuts they bought on the way, while eating, they watched the government servants spread out the land deeds one by one.

"You knew Du Chengyu would come?" Shao Cong muttered in his ears.

Ren Shaochun also murmured in a low voice: "Second lady, Du Chengyu came here before my younger brother flaunted it a few times. Could it be that he came after you today?"

Opposite Du Chengyu sat upright, without squinting.

But Shen Qingling knew that Du Chengyu had been looking at her corner from the corner of her eye.

"I know there are people around him who hate me." Shen Qingling squeezed open a peanut, divided the two peanut kernels into one left and one right, and continued: "That day in Yunyan Pavilion, I wiped the peanut kernels in public. If he loses face, he will only be provoked more easily."

Those people who followed Shen Qingling to the inn were also sent by Du Chengyu in all likelihood.

"Since I let you show off in the morning, then his subordinates will definitely tell him. In this way, he will definitely not be absent." Shen Qingling peeled off another one, and casually put it in Shao Cong's palm.

Not long after, Shao Cong had piled up a lot of peanut kernels.

"Are you just peeling or not eating?" Shao Cong Kacha Kacha ate deliciously, and felt a little embarrassed after eating too much, he said with a smile: "Why don't I peel it myself, it's so troublesome for you to do it for me."

Shen Qingling peeled away Ren Shaochun's place, shrugged and said: "I bought it just to practice my finger skills, and I don't eat it anymore. But you can taste the peanuts, and tell me what you think when the time comes."

The buyers of the first few shops were quickly confirmed, and the prices were much lower than those outside, which can be regarded as a little advantage of public housing.

When Yan Ke's shop came out, Shen Qing became alert.She raised her hand and shouted 100 taels, directly quadrupling the initial price.

There was an uproar around.

Even Ren Shaochun's eyes widened in surprise, and he quickly covered his lips and said, "Second lady, it's over, over, I'm afraid Du Chengyu won't follow this price."

In that room, Du Chengyu, who was sitting in the front row, did not intend to follow the price.Moreover, the servant next to Du Chengyu clung to his ears, as if reporting something to him.

Shen Qingling ignored the expressions of Ren Shaochun and Shao Cong, and calmly brushed off his robe and got up, as if he was about to go over and sign.

"Isn't the price too high?"

"Have you seen this little lady before? Look at her face, whose daughter is it?"

"Didn't the little lady have a conflict with Mr. Du Xiaolang at the gate of the government office before, but now she just wants to make a final decision! You see, she is planning to get up and go over, it is inevitable!"

The buyers on the side whispered.

Shen Qingling, who was being discussed, looked around the crowd with a smile, cupped her fists and said: "I hope you will come to see me at that time."

Seeing Shen Qingling's generous answer, the buyers started to greet each other, some asked what the shop would do in the future, some asked about Shen Qingling's family background, and wanted to get to the bottom of it.

The yamen servants were also happy to watch the excitement, and were not in a hurry to settle down.

"It's a restaurant." Shen Qingling smiled and answered every question, "I'm a foreigner, and I don't have a prominent family background. When I settle down in Yangzhou in the future, I have to rely on you..."

She was beautiful, and treated others like a spring breeze. For a while, except for Du Chengyu, who was as stable as Mount Tai, no one on the field did not greet her with a smile.

"Wait!"

Du Chengyu finally spoke.

The yamen servant in the hall was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Mr. Du Xiaolang, what's the matter?"

"What do you mean? Your hammer hasn't dropped on the table, so she won't be considered to have taken the photo of the shop, right? Since she offered 100 taels, then I will offer 110 taels!" Du Chengyu said coldly.

whispering sound--

Many people scoffed in disdain.

Shen Qingling's move was 100 taels, generous and generous, but Du Chengyu, who came here to find fault, actually only lowered the price by ten taels, which really made other people look down on him.

"Is Du Xiaolang-jun going to grab something from me?" Shen Qingling stood with her hands behind her back, and turned her head slightly to look at him, "But I'm going to book this shop today, but I don't know how much money Du Xiaolang-jun can control?"

Dazed by the question, Du Chengyu immediately retorted: "Do you think I will fall for it? If you want to make another bid, you have to come up with the mortgaged money! How can you, a foreigner, be compared with me!"

Not really stupid.

When the government bids for public housing, buyers with local household registration can freely bid without a mortgage certificate, but foreigners cannot.As a foreigner, once the initial bid is overwhelmed, if you want to make a second bid, you have to submit a certificate to the government to prove that you are qualified to continue bidding.

Since he was going to fish, of course Shen Qingling had already prepared the bait.

She solemnly took out a sachet embroidered with gold thread from her sleeve, held it up with both hands, handed it to the yamen servant, and said, "Please take a look, this is top-grade mutton fat jade, priceless in the market."

Stuff is fake.

But the little yamen servant had never seen the world, so he preconceived that Shen Qingling would not lie, and immediately nodded to confirm Shen Qingling's qualifications.

"Let me take a look, my lord." Du Chengyu squeezed away the servants and walked to the hall, "Don't wait for someone to fool people with fake things, and run away after it happens."

"You want to see? Then you should be careful, don't fall down this treasure." Shen Qingling looked back with a smile, hooked the jade pendant with her little finger on purpose, and stretched it towards Du Chengyu.
