A powerful voice came from the elegant house opposite.

Zhuang Zhou was slightly stunned. This voice sounded so familiar?

and.

The person who can sit in the elegant house opposite must be some powerful person.

Who could it be?

etc.

Could it be him?

Zhuang Zhou currently only has one person in mind who can compete with him for the calligraphy and painting.

Duke Lu Cheng Yaojin.

"Old Cheng, is that you?"

Zhuang Zhou shouted towards the elegant house opposite.

There was silence in the elegant house opposite for a while, and then hurried footsteps were heard.

Soon, a powerful voice came from the door:

"hey-hey!

Brother Zhuang, it really is you?"

Damn it!

It was indeed Cheng Yaojin.

This is a match for me.

Speaking of money, these tens of thousands of strings of cash are nothing to Zhuang Zhou.

But to Cheng Yaojin, it was nothing.

Think of this.

Zhuang Zhou felt that they couldn't compete in spending money anymore.

We have to outsmart them!

"Old Cheng, why are you trying to snatch words from me again?"

Cheng Yaojin said dissatisfiedly:

"What do you mean I'm robbing you?

You kid stole all the treasures tonight.

I’ve had my eye on this last calligraphy piece for a long time.”

All right!

I should have expected that someone would take action.

At this time, Wang Zhigui downstairs asked loudly:

"Is there anyone who would like to bid for 55,000 guan?"

Zhuang Zhou hurriedly shouted to Wang Zhigui:

"Boss Wang, wait a moment!"

Wang Zhigui pursed his lips. Now that the price had reached such a sky-high level, there was no way he could afford it anymore.

Naturally, I didn't say anything else.

Just waiting for Zhuang Zhou quietly.

Want to see what he will do next.

"Old Cheng, we are all people who have no shortage of money.

Especially me, I have no interest in gold, silver and treasures at all.

So it would be pointless for us to continue shouting.

How about this, you withdraw the bid you just made, and I’ll give you a few more treasures…”

"That won't do! This is a gift I specially prepared for the Emperor."

"What gift?"

Cheng Yaojin said with a smile:

"It's strange, I suddenly received an invitation to a banquet from the Emperor yesterday.

His Majesty also attended the dinner.

At the banquet, the retired emperor kept praising Your Majesty's merits.

Even we, the old ministers who have followed His Majesty to conquer the world, were praised.

His Majesty was so pleased that he suggested that everyone in the Qin Palace prepare a gift to celebrate the birthday of the retired emperor.

After much thought, Old Cheng, I decided that this calligraphy piece is the most suitable.”

Zhuang Zhou was slightly stunned, then a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He said with a smile:

"Old Cheng, do you think this will work?

After all, you originally wanted to prepare a gift for the emperor.

But the emperor had seen everything, so calligraphy like this was just average.

How about I prepare a few other gifts for you, I guarantee they will be better than this calligraphy."

When Cheng Yaojin heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up:

"What gift?"

"Don't worry about that. I promise to make your delivery unique."

Cheng Yaojin laughed and said:

“But it’s a treasure from the upper realm?”

"Yes."

Zhuang Zhou said affirmatively:

"I'll go back to the upper realm tonight and get it. I'll bring it back tomorrow. You'll know then."

"Hey! Fine then, I'll withdraw my offer right now."

Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly, and then shouted to Wang Zhigui downstairs:

"The offer just now doesn't count. I'm withdrawing the price."

Everyone is waiting to see the show!

Who knew that the result would be like this.

Even Wang Zhigui was slightly dissatisfied:

"Duke Lu, this... this is against the rules!"

Cheng Yaojin's face darkened:

“Fuck you!

What I, Old Cheng, say is the rule.

If anyone disagrees, I will destroy this Tianbao Pavilion!"

“…”

Damn it!

Who dares to say no to this?

This is simply banditry!

final.

This calligraphy.

At the price of 50,000 strings of cash.

Successfully photographed by Zhuang Zhou.

Everyone cast envious glances at them.

Wang Zhigui also looked at Zhuang Zhou with admiration.

I couldn't help but think:

This rich man really can do whatever he wants!

…

All the treasures at the singing and selling show were taken away by Zhuang Zhou.

There are twenty-three treasures in total.

Tianbao Pavilion has already sent someone to deliver all the treasures to the mansion tonight.

After leaving the elegant house, Cheng Yaojin said with a smile:

"Brother Zhuang, I've bought a new batch of singing girls. It's still early, why don't you come to my house for a drink and some music?"

Zhuang Zhou waved his hand and said:

"No, I want to go back and rest early. I have to hurry back to the upper realm."

Cheng Yaojin glanced at Hongyu, then looked at Zhuang Zhou, and said frankly:

"Forget it! You are so lucky now that you can't even look down on the singing girl in my house."

After saying this, he said goodbye and left.

Zhuang Zhou had just gone downstairs when Wang Zhigui, Qian Xuedong and others were waiting downstairs.

There were about twenty people. When they saw Zhuang Zhou, they all saluted:

"Greetings to the Earl of Zhuang County!"

Many of them only realized at this time that the owner of the elegant house upstairs was actually this big shot.

Zhuang Zhou smiled and said:

"Everyone, please don't be polite, just call me Mr. Zhuang.

What? Are you waiting for me for something?"

Wang Zhigui hurriedly said:

"Mr. Zhuang is now the head of Chang'an Trading Company. All the important merchants in Chang'an are here tonight. I want to talk to Zhuang Zhou for a while."
