My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 39

Zhu Zhanhe came to Desheng Building early, today is the last auction for Zhizhi, so of course he has to be there.

However, I didn't see Chang Wei here. I only found out after asking the shopkeeper Luo that Chang Wei left immediately after delivering the weaving today.

Zhu Zhanhe felt quite sympathetic to Chang Wei, and wanted to meet with him today for a few words of persuasion, but unexpectedly he left.

At this moment, there was a sound of "dong dong dong" going upstairs, followed by Zhang Zhong and Zhu Yong coming to the second floor.

"Zhan He, when does the auction start?"

Seeing Zhu Zhanhe standing in front of the window, Zhang Zhong immediately asked.

"We will start when the guests are all here. Why are you also interested in today's insect king?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked with a smile.

"Of course I'm interested, but you've already spent all your money, and now I can't even make up ten cents!"

Zhu Yong patted his empty purse and said.

The last time his weaving was broken, he was unwilling to pay for two photos in Desheng Building, which almost used up all his pocket money.

"No, Brother Zhu, you have already become a nobleman. The whole Chengguo Mansion has the final say, so it's not just that little pocket money?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked in disbelief.

"My father is gone, but my mother is still there. She cares about me more than my father. She can't even give me a few pocket money a month!"

When mentioning his old lady, Zhu Yong had a resentful expression on his face. Rather than saying that he is the Duke of Cheng, it is better to say that his mother is the Duke of Cheng.

"I don't have any money anymore. The last time I bought Zhizhi, Yunniang gave me some private money, otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford your Zhizhi."

At this moment Zhang Zhong rolled his eyes at Zhu Zhanhe and said, Zhu Yong bought Zhuzhi, of course he couldn't sit still.

As for Yun Niang, she was originally a famous prostitute on the Qinhuai River, but she was redeemed by Zhang Zhong not long ago and raised in a small courtyard outside the city.

Unexpectedly, when Zhu Yong heard Yunniang's name, he immediately said excitedly: "Speaking of Yunniang, I should really thank her. I used to be friends with Brother Zhang and was always gossiped. Now I'm finally cleared!"

"What's the matter, do you still think that my mother is not good enough for you?"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhong exploded again. He is extremely sensitive to this issue.

"You misunderstood, I mean I'm not good enough for you!"

Zhu Yong reacted very quickly, and immediately changed his words.

"Okay, you really want to match me?"

Zhang Zhong used his unreasonable housekeeping skills to make Zhu Yong completely speechless.

"Brother Zhang, calm down, I'm also curious about that Yun Niang, when will you take us to meet her?"

Zhu Zhanhe hastily persuaded him to fight.

"Let's talk about it later when we have a chance!"

Zhang Zhong shied away casually, obviously without sincerity.

Zhu Zhanhe and Zhu Yong looked at each other without saying anything.

At this time, the guests who participated in the auction also arrived one after another, suddenly Zhu Yong pointed out the window and said in surprise: "Look quickly!"

Zhu Zhanhe and Zhang Zhong heard the sound, and saw two young men riding tall horses on the street in front of the restaurant, with quite a few followers walking towards the restaurant.

These two young people, Zhu Zhanhe, they all knew each other, one of them was Xu Xianyi, and the other was Zhu Zhanji who had just returned to Beijing.

"Why is he here too?"

Zhu Zhanhe also muttered to himself in surprise when he saw this cousin.

"I've heard of this!"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhong covered his mouth and smiled, as if thinking of something interesting?
"Speak quickly!"

Zhu Yong has a quick temper and immediately urged him.

Zhang Zhong rolled his eyes at him, and then said with a smile: "Our great-grandson collected a lot of high-grade fabrics on the road, and he couldn't wait to compete with Xu Xianyi when he came back. As a result, the five tiger generals he carefully selected , all of them are either dead or maimed, it is estimated that he is also here for that insect king today."

"Admiral Five Tigers? This name is really good enough!"

Zhu Zhanhe smiled secretly.

"This is troublesome. As the grandson, if he asks for the price, no one will dare to compete with him!"

Zhu Yong suddenly clapped his hands and said.

"Don't worry, if he came yesterday, there may still be this problem, but today is different."

Zhu Zhanhe chuckled, looking confident.

At the same time, Zhu Zhanji and Xu Xianyi talked and laughed, and they walked into the Desheng Building together.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, Zhu Zhanji was stunned, because the place where the door was entered was divided into a small room with a black cloth, and a buddy inside stopped them with a smile.

"You two distinguished guests, please put on your burqa and mask before entering!"

The man smiled and handed two black robes and two masks to the two.

"Since when did this rule exist?"

Xu Xianyi was taken aback, he didn't have such rules when he came yesterday.

"Today's auction is very important, so my shop has established a new rule, and I hope the two distinguished guests will be happy!"

This guy has obviously read the book, and he speaks in a gentle manner that makes people not feel bad.

"This is quite novel, let's just do as we please!"

Zhu Zhanji didn't think much about it, and reached out to take the burqa and mask, and after putting them on, the clerk gave each of them a number plate, and then invited them into the restaurant.

There were already many people sitting in the lobby on the first floor of Desheng Building. Everyone was wearing black robes and masks like them, and they couldn't tell each other's identities at all.

Zhu Zhanji found that each table had a different number. He looked at his number plate before finding the corresponding table and sitting down.

The windows around the hall were covered with black cloth, and although candles were lit, the light was still a bit dim.

Although there were quite a few people who came, almost no one spoke because they were wearing masks.

Zhu Zhanji participated in the auction for the first time, and wearing a mask, he didn't have to worry about being recognized, but felt very novel.

After waiting for a while, everyone finally arrived, and then a middle-aged man who looked like an accountant entered the stage, and the auction officially started.

Because it was the last weave auction, the number of weaves in this auction was also the largest, with a total of twelve.

When the first Zhuzhi came to the stage, Zhu Zhanhe couldn't sit still immediately, because this Zhuzhi was exactly the same as Xu Xianyi's blood butcher, and the most powerful black tiger head among his five generals died at the mouth of the blood butcher.

So as soon as the auction started, Zhu Zhanji immediately followed up the bid, and soon the price of this jiao weave rose to more than [-] guan.

You must know that apart from the first auction, such a high price has rarely been obtained in subsequent auctions.

"Oops, we fell into the trap of these profiteers!"

Unexpectedly, Xu Xianyi who was next to him suddenly slapped the table and said to Zhu Zhanji in a low voice.

"What's the trick?"

Zhu Zhanji was puzzled.

"You don't know, when I was auctioning before, as long as I called out the price, no one would dare to grab it from me, but now we wear masks, no one knows anyone, and others have no scruples about asking the price!"

Xu Xianyi said bitterly, he just realized it.

"Oh! That's true!"

Zhu Zhanji slapped his forehead and reacted, but then he asked with great interest.

"Whose family owns this restaurant? You are so courageous, you even dare to plot against us."

"Your second uncle's family!"

Xu Xianyi replied with a resentful voice.

"Uh... this... let's auction it honestly, it's nothing more than spending more money!"

Zhu Zhanji was also a little apprehensive when he thought of Zhu Gaoxu, even his grandpa, let alone him, couldn't do anything about him.

At the same time, Zhu Zhanhe upstairs was looking down at Zhu Zhanji secretly through the window of the private room. He had already known the positions of Zhu Zhanji and Xu Xianyi from the staff before.

Zhu Zhanji obviously came prepared this time, and the first auction was very strong, and finally won the first one at a high price of 650 guan.

However, Zhu Zhanji was not idle in the next auction, bidding from time to time, but most of them were driving up the price, which was equivalent to working for Zhu Zhanhe for free.

It wasn't until the ninth auction that Zhu Zhanji made another move and bought another Jizhi.

"Hehe~, it seems that my cousin is really a rich man!"

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanhe couldn't help admiring, knowing that the last one is the insect king, Zhu Zhanji will not let it go.

"Your cousin is definitely not short of money. Among other things, the money he won in the weaving competition a few years ago is enough for him to buy ten insect kings!"

Zhang Zhong next to him said sourly at this time, he also contributed a lot of the money Zhu Zhanji won.

Soon the auction reached its climax, and the insect king who was auctioned was sent to the stage. Not only was this Zhuzhi exceptionally strong, but its hair color, tooth shape, and fighting silk were all top-grade. Guillotine can definitely be called the "king of insects".

Zhu Zhanji is also a person who knows the goods. When he saw this worm, his eyes were red. After the auction started, he raised his cards again and again. In the end, he directly kicked out other bidders at an astonishing sky-high price of [-] and won the worm. ownership of the king.

With the sale of the King of Insects, the auction finally ended, and Zhu Zhanji and the others were taken backstage. After all, they had to pay for the goods, so they couldn't leave for a while.

Zhu Zhanhe didn't intend to meet Zhu Zhanji, so he took advantage of the gap and went downstairs, preparing to leave first.

But just as Zhu Zhanhe stepped out of the restaurant, he saw an acquaintance at the door.

This made Zhu Zhanhe stop immediately, with a somewhat malicious smile on his face: After a farewell in the palace, I didn't expect to see her again here, it seems that I really have a destiny with her!

　It's Monday again, this chapter is released ahead of schedule, I hope you will support me a lot.
