Qiu Shui is bound to a wealth-flaunting system.
While other systems encourage their hosts to spend money, Qiu Shui's system forces him to complete study tasks to earn rewards for flauntin...
Everyone followed the person in charge of Long Xiu and left the banquet hall.
After walking through the courtyard corridor with a small bridge and flowing water, we came to a hall with elegant and antique decoration.
The hall is very spacious, and three-meter-high glass display cabinets are placed everywhere in the hall.
In the display cabinets, various clothes, jewelry and other items on display are displayed.
The entire hall is actually equivalent to a large exhibition hall.
In the middle of the hall, there is a circular platform.
When Qiu Shui and others walked in, an old lady wearing a light blue cheongsam and with an elegant temperament was already standing on the stage.
Qiu Shui recognized him immediately; that person was Long Wenxiu, the current head of Long Xiu's family.
Long Wenxiu is already seventy years old this year, but she has naturally black hair without a single gray hair. It makes her look ten years younger than her actual age.
Even though there are wrinkles on her face, her facial features are very delicate if you look closely. She must have been a great beauty when she was young.
She looked at the people who came in with a smile on her face.
After everyone came in, she picked up the microphone and said in a slightly hoarse but particularly kind voice: "Welcome everyone to our Longxiu brand show. I am the head of Longxiu, Long Wenxiu."
I heard that the name Long Xiu comes from Long Wenxiu's own name.
The president of Longteng Watches is also named Longteng.
Although both of them have the surname Long, they are not from the same family.
In traditional industries like dragon embroidery, the boss is usually the head of the family.
As the head of Longxiu, of course I have to attend the three-yearly brand show of Longxiu.
After Long Wenxiu finished speaking, there was warm applause from the audience.
"As in previous years, the embroidery this time will be sold to the highest bidder. Dear guests, you can take your time to enjoy the viewing. In two hours, we will start the auction. Well, I will not say much, so that you will not be annoyed by my nagging. Let's start the two-hour viewing time."
Long Wenxiu waved her hand, and a middle-aged woman wearing a white plum blossom cheongsam placed an hourglass on the table in front of the platform.
After everyone applauded again, they immediately dispersed to look at the embroidery they had previously taken a fancy to.
After Long Wenxiu came down from the stage, he glanced in the direction of Qiu Shui. When she saw Qiu Shui was also looking at her, she actually smiled and nodded to Qiu Shui.
Qiu Shui just looked at it a few more times out of curiosity, but he didn't expect to make eye contact with the head of Long Xiu's family. Then, she actually smiled and nodded at me.
Qiu Shui was a little surprised. After a moment of hesitation, he quickly nodded at her. Then, she was seen turning around and leaving with a group of people.
Lou Yuchen saw Qiu Shui and Long Wenxiu nodding to each other and asked, "Do you know each other?"
Qiu Shui shook his head, "No, this is the first time I've seen her in person."
However, it seemed that the head of Longxiu's family seemed to know him. It's really strange.
The unique brand of Longxiu is actually equivalent to an auction.
However, what is being auctioned are Long Xiu’s own items.
There are many kinds of things, but each one is exquisite.
Three days before the brand show begins, every guest who receives the invitation will also receive a link from Longxiu on their mobile phone.
Open that link and you will be able to enter the page of Dragon Embroidery’s unique items.
Above, there will be photos of all the items in this unique auction and a brief description of the items.
The black and white chess double-sided embroidery that Lou Yuchen and Mr. Zhang mentioned just now is one of the rare embroidery pieces.
The embroidery reproduces the size of a 19-line Go board one-to-one.
On the chessboard, two chess games from ancient times are embroidered in a double-sided embroidery.
Lou Yuchen fell in love with the embroidery almost at first sight.
As a boyfriend, Qiu Shui is also the one who manages his and Lou Yuchen's wallets. Of course, I will try my best to satisfy Lou Yuchen's wishes.
Of course, in addition to that embroidery, the items that Long Xiu took out this time are also very rare treasures.
Among them is Yunjin, which is known to be worth its weight in gold.
The history of Yunjin can be traced back to more than 1,600 years ago.
It gets its name because of its bright and beautiful colors, like the clouds in the sky.
Yunjin is made of very fine materials, with exquisite workmanship, and its patterns and brocade designs are gorgeous and elegant.
It has integrated many silk weaving techniques in history and has now reached the pinnacle of silk weaving technology.
Yunjin is woven by relying on powerful memory and traditional hand-weaving techniques.
Until now, it is still impossible to use machines to replace weaving.
Yunjin was created by the royal family in ancient times. Therefore, it carries the strong atmosphere of royal magnificence and solemnity.
At this time, Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen were standing in front of a display cabinet of men's wallets made of brocade.
There were two men's wallets, both in green color. The dragon patterns woven on it are lifelike.
The two wallets were exactly the same, and Qiu Shui fell in love with one at first sight.
Lou Yuchen watched Qiu Shui staring at the two wallets for a long time. He said, "Like?"
"Well, two. It happens that we each have one. What do you think?" Qiu Shui turned around and asked Lou Yuchen, "It just so happens that you also need to change your wallet."
The wallet that Qiu Shui saw in Lou Yuchen's possession two days ago was already a bit old.
It looks like it has been used for a long time.
"Okay." Lou Yuchen looked at the two wallets and thought they were very nice.
Although the color is a bit darker, it is still dazzling. The dragon and cloud patterns above are really exquisite and noble.
"Okay, then I'll buy them later." Qiu Shui had also seen these two wallets on the page before.
Even saw many other items.
However, there is a huge difference between what you see in the picture and what you actually see in person.
The exquisite craftsmanship of these real objects cannot be felt at all in the pictures.
Only by seeing the real objects can you fully appreciate how ingeniously crafted these items are.
"Ding... Congratulations to the host for triggering the show-off wealth mission."
"In such a grand occasion as Long Xiu Du Xiu, please bid for more than half of the items. Show your wealth to everyone present. Be the most handsome guy in the audience."
"Obtain the mission, and you will be rewarded with a prize draw. Fail the mission, and you will be killed immediately."
When Qiu Shui heard about the long-awaited punishment of annihilation, he was not at all shocked. I actually feel a little nostalgic for some reason?
Thinking back to when he first bound to the system, the system used the annihilation trick to force him to learn.
Later, gradually, the punishment became less common and was eliminated.
Now, the punishment has come back again.
Show off your wealth. Isn’t tonight the most suitable occasion to show off your wealth?
Qiu Shui has heard that the items displayed by Long Xiu Du Xiu are all unique. It has great collection value and room for appreciation.
After all, the items on display now are basically works by masters of dragon embroidery.
Many of them are said to be the last works of the series.
In other words, after today's visit, there will probably be no such store anymore.
Once collected, it will definitely continue to appreciate in value in the future.
Qiu Shui thought of the empty rooms in his own Prince Ren's Palace.
After all, there are a total of 188 items on display today. If I buy everything here. It can be used as an exhibition hall.
Of course, Qiu Shui couldn't really buy them all.
After all, there are many items here, all of which are women's products.
Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen are both men, so they have no need for those female products.
After Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen looked at the two wallets, they moved on to the next item.
The next items were two suits, one off-white and one dark blue.
Qiu Shui had seen the information about these two suits. They were designed and made by Long Yunxiu, the head of Long Xiu.
What is different from Long Xiu’s previous suits is that these two suits incorporate more Chinese elements.
On the upper left side of the suit, there are two lifelike cranes embroidered.
The embroidery is very exquisite.
The collar of the suit is a stand-up collar, and there is an auspicious cloud embroidered on the right side of the outer side of the collar.
On each button of the suit, auspicious clouds with the same pattern as on the collar were embroidered with needle and thread.
The collision of traditional Western styles and Chinese elements has created a unique sense of fashion and elegance.
There are two sets of clothes, one white and one blue, both of which are very good-looking.
In addition to these two sets of clothes, there are three display cabinets nearby, which also display similar men's clothing.
All these clothes were designed and made by Long Yunxiu herself.
And these clothes are Long Yunxiu's final work.
After taking the photo, if it really doesn’t fit, it doesn’t matter.
Because if it is too big, you can ask the designer to modify it according to the size.
If it is too small, there is no way to modify it.
Therefore, when taking pictures of clothes, you also need to see if they are suitable for you.
Qiu Shui looked at herself, then at Lou Yuchen next to her, and felt that both of them should be able to wear those clothes. It's just a matter of length.
Great, he likes these clothes too.
Qiu Shui silently ticked the shopping list in his mind.
The chairman of Laihua Company, a couple from Changzhou, happened to be standing opposite the display cabinet.
When he saw Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen coming over, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Many people from the surrounding noble families want to get close to Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen.
But he didn't dare to step forward, for fear of angering Qiu Shui.
They didn't expect that Qiu Shui and the other person would actually come straight over.
Just when they were excitedly about to step forward and say hello.
However, Mr. Lu brought Lu Xue to Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen.
"Mr. Qiu, Mr. Lou."
Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen turned around at the same time, and after seeing Mr. Lu and Lu Xue behind him, their faces darkened.
"Why, are you from the Lu family planning to come and settle accounts with me?"
Qiu Shui didn't have the slightest good impression of Lu Xue.
Previously at the Qin family’s birthday party, Lu Xue had spoken rudely to him. Later, Lu Xue wanted to marry Feng Zhen again.
At that time, everyone in the Shanghai and Kyoto circles knew that Qiu Shui was going to take action against the Feng family.
Lu Xue actually still wants to marry Feng Zhen, which means she doesn't take Qiu Shui seriously at all.
Although Lu Xue gave up Feng Zhen in the end, there is no way to erase what she had done.
After hearing Qiu Shui's words, Mr. Lu hurriedly said in panic, "No, no. I brought Xiaoxue here to apologize to Mr. Qiu and Mr. Lou. The child is still young and naive. I accidentally offended the two gentlemen. Please forgive me."
Mr. Lu turned around and scolded Lu Xue, "Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Qiu and Mr. Lou."
"I'm sorry." Lu Xue gritted her teeth and her red lips, her cheeks flushed. He bowed his head and apologized to Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen.
Grandpa asked her to apologize to these two young boys in front of so many people, which was simply a slap in her face. But Lu Xue had to do it.
"The child is still young?" Qiu Shui couldn't help laughing. "Grandpa Lu, if I remember correctly, your granddaughter is already 25 years old, and I am only 23 years old. Who do you think is more like a child?"
"This..." Old Master Lu had forgotten that Qiu Shui was younger than Lu Xue. The atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.
Lu Xue clenched her fists after hearing Qiu Shui's words.
Is he not going to let her go?
Who is this person! A grown man actually made things difficult for a woman like her over such a small matter. It's so ungraceful.
However, that Lou Yuchen is really good-looking. Prettier than that Feng Zhen. And he is about the same age as me.
When Lu Xue looked at Lou Yuchen, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Faced with Lu Xueyue's increasingly fiery gaze, Lou Yuchen felt disgusted.
"Have you seen enough?" Lou Yuchen said coldly.
Lu Xue was brought back to her senses by Lou Yuchen's cold voice, and then she saw Qiu Shui looking at her with a look full of anger. I immediately thought to myself that something was not good.
Qiu Shui didn't expect that Lu Xue would stare at Lou Yuchen in front of him.
That look seemed like he wanted to eat Lou Yuchen.
Qiu Shui instantly became angry.
"Mr. Lu, is this the sincerity of your apology? Very good, I received your sincerity. Let's go."
Qiu Shui snorted coldly, then pulled Lou Yuchen away with a sullen face.
"Mr. Qiu..."
Mr. Lu was so angry that he turned around and scolded Lu Xue directly, "Xiaoxue, what's wrong with you? I brought you here to apologize, not to offend anyone. Are you crazy about men? How dare you covet Qiu Shui's people?"
"Grandpa, I didn't mean it. I just couldn't help myself for a moment."
Lu Xue really has no resistance to good-looking men.
Just now, it was just because Lou Yuchen was so handsome that she was fascinated by him for a moment.
"I couldn't help it, I couldn't help it. Now look what happened, I have completely offended Qiu Shui. If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have brought you here."
Mr. Lu regretted it very much at this moment! He ended up losing the rice while trying to steal the chicken.
"Grandpa..." Lu Xue grabbed Grandpa Lu's sleeve and said coquettishly, "I really didn't mean it. I promise there won't be a next time. I will go and apologize to them right now."
Having said that, Lu Xue was about to walk in the direction where Qiu Shui and the others had left.
Mr. Lu grabbed her and said, "Alright, don't go. They are angry now. If you go over there, it will just add fuel to the fire. Let's wait and see what they like. We can buy it as an apology."
After all, he had doted on his granddaughter Lu Xue for so many years, so Mr. Lu couldn't bear to blame her.
The Changzhou couple who heard their conversation not far away, saw Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen leave angrily, and they didn't dare to look for Qiu Shui again.
But I also think that Mr. Lu’s suggestion is good.
They wanted to please Qiu Shui, so of course they had to give him what he wanted.
They observed what Qiu Shui and the other person liked, and then bought it and gave it to Qiu Shui and the other person. In this way, I will definitely be able to win Qiu Shui's favor.
Qiu Shui pulled Lou Yuchen away angrily, but before they had gone far, they were met by two old men, a middle-aged man, and a young man in his twenties.
The two old men were both dressed in fine clothes, and the middle-aged man and the young man were both wearing white suits.
After the four of them walked towards Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen, they all bowed to Qiu Shui at the same time.
Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen were stunned for a moment.
Before Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen could react, the two old men in the lead shouted to Qiu Shui, "Uncle."
Qiu Shui was completely confused.
Did he hear it right? Two people who can be his grandfather call him cousin?
Immediately afterwards, before Qiu Shui could react.
The middle-aged man called Qiu Shui "cousin uncle."
The young man simply called Qiu Shui, "Uncle Grandfather."
"Your...descendants?" Lou Yuchen looked at Qiu Shui in surprise.
Qiu Shui almost jumped up.
What his descendants? He doesn’t even know the four people in front of him.
What’s going on with these four people? Where did they come from?
What cousin, what great uncle, what great uncle-grandfather.
Could it be that I recognized the wrong person?
Originally, many people were paying attention to Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen's every move.
Many people were hesitating whether to step forward and greet Qiu Shui and the other person.
After seeing those four people actually bowing to Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen, many people looked over there.
Among them, Bai Xiongying and the other two were shocked when they saw the young man among the four.
Isn’t that young man Murong Yu from the Murong family?
That’s right, the two old men leading the group were none other than Mr. Murong and Mr. Zheng?
"Did you recognize the wrong person?" Qiu Shui frowned, his head full of question marks.
Mr. Murong and Mr. Zheng didn't think that Qiu Shui didn't know about them.
After all, Qiu Shui and the authorities had set a trap for their two families.
They just thought Qiu Shui didn't want to admit their relationship in front of so many people.
Their two families have been silent for too long, and they want to take advantage of Qiu Shui and this opportunity to announce to these Chinese families that their two families are about to come out.
"You are not mistaken. The great-aunt of our Murong family is the mother of the former head of Renwang Mansion. According to seniority, you are my cousin. You are also my grandson's great-uncle."
Old Master Murong pulled Murong Yu behind him and introduced him to Qiu Shui: "This is my grandson Murong Yu. I am the current head of the Murong family. My name is Murong Lanfeng."
Mr. Zheng also smiled and said to Qiu Shui: "I am the current head of the Zheng family. My name is Zheng Weixian."
Then he pointed at Zheng Jian and said, "This is my son, Zheng Jianhua. Our Zheng family also has a great-aunt who married into the Renwang Palace. So according to seniority, Mr. Qiu, you are also my cousin, my son's great-uncle."
Qiu Shui was completely confused, Murong family, Zheng family. Are these two families in-laws of Renwangfu?
"System dad, please come out quickly, what's going on?"
Qiu Shui doesn't want a bunch of younger generations to appear for no reason.
The system came out immediately.
"Host, son, don't be surprised. You inherited the Renwang Mansion, so of course you inherited everything in the Renwang Mansion. Host, don't forget that you are now the old man's nephew. The Murong family and the Zheng family are indeed relatives of the Renwang Mansion. According to seniority, these two old men should indeed call you cousin."
"Also, this system will tell you another piece of news. The Murong family and the Zheng family are the legendary hidden families. And they also regard you as a member of the hidden family."
"You think I'm also a member of the hidden family? How is that possible? Are the people from the hidden family fools? Wait." Qiu Shui reacted.
He was shocked and said, "System Dad, are you saying that Renwangfu is also a hidden family?"
"Yes. It's just that the Nio Palace has fallen into decline. But outsiders don't know. I thought the old man still left an amazing fortune for you."
"So, you gave me so many luxury cars and houses, and gave me so much money to spend, but the reason why I was not raped was because, from the very beginning, you arranged for me to be the heir of a hidden family? Could it be that you also arranged for the old man to give me the Renwang Palace?"
If that were true, then everything would make sense.
Qiu Shui had always wondered what reasonable identity the system would assign to him.
The system scratched the back of its head, "The identity of the heir of the hidden family was indeed arranged in advance by this system. However, the identity arranged by this system is not the heir of Renwang Palace. It is the heir of another family whose inheritance has been cut off. It was just that the host happened to inherit Renwang Palace later. Therefore, your identity as the heir was implemented in Renwang Palace."
Qiu Shui said: "So, I am really a member of the hidden family now?"
The system said: "Of course."
Qiu Shui had heard a lot of rumors before that he was from a secluded family.
But he ignored it and let those people guess.
In this way, those people will be afraid of him, and he will be able to do other things much more smoothly.
By then, even if it was revealed that he was not from a hidden family, he would not be afraid at all. After all, he himself has never admitted that he is from a hidden family.
All of this is speculation by outsiders.
But I didn't expect that I would actually become a member of a hidden family.
After hearing what Grandpa Murong and Grandpa Zheng said, the people around them opened their mouths wide instantly.
What did they hear?
The heads of the Murong and Zheng families call Qiu Shui their cousin?
And they also said that their two families and Renwangfu are in-laws?
Nioufu is a descendant of the royal family.
In the past, the families that could marry into the Renwang Palace were all big families.
The big families in the past that have been passed down to the present day are the legendary hidden families.
Therefore, the mysterious Murong family and the Zheng family are truly hidden families.
The heads of the two hidden families are so respectful to Qiu Shui. Could it be that the hidden family that adopted Qiu Shui is more powerful than the Murong family and the Zheng family?
Otherwise, the heads of these two families would not have exposed their identities in public and acknowledged Qiu Shui, a young man in his twenties, as their cousin.
Of course, there is another possibility.
That is, Qiu Shui was originally the heir to the Niwang Palace. The Nioufu itself is a powerful hidden family.
Therefore, Qiu Shui was not adopted by any hidden family at all. From the beginning to the end, he was the heir of the hidden family.
No, he has now inherited the Nio Palace. So, he is now the head of the hidden family of Nioufu?
Otherwise, if Qiu Shui was really just an adopted son of a hidden family, the heads of the two hidden families, the Murong and Zheng, would not have been so respectful to him.
So, there is only one explanation. That is, the Niou Palace, which seemed to be in decline in the past, was actually a hidden family. And it is a royal family that has been passed down for more than a thousand years.
When they thought of this possibility, many people present took a deep breath.
This news is really shocking.
