Chapter 560: Spending a ton of money is useless
As soon as the two got off the car, they saw Song Yubai coming. Someone immediately came up to greet them with a smile on his face and led them inside to sit.
Although it was Erya's first time here, she was not stage-frightened.
The venue of the Zhenwan Yaji was decorated magnificently, with lights and decorations all over the hall. Everywhere one looked was filled with the word "luxury".
The invited wealthy businessmen sat together in groups of three or four, chatting and laughing, and drinking.
Young women walked around, dressed coolly, with charming smiles on their faces, carrying exquisite snacks and fine wines, and serving guests attentively.
Arya's gaze stayed on them for a moment.
Each person is carefully selected, and is impeccable in both appearance and figure.
A smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"What? Do you really think you're a man?" Song Yubai covered his face with a fan and teased her in her ear.
"I just feel that it's a good thing that I have the ability now. Otherwise, I wouldn't even be qualified to come in and serve tea and water."
And these women have become the envy of many people.
If you use your beauty to please men, your life will be like floating duckweed, and you will never achieve anything great.
High-end toys are still just toys after all.
If she didn't have a mother, what would her situation be now?
Her mother gave her a new life and supported her character.
"With me here, you have everything."
Erya's smile faded, "Enter the palace and become a queen?"
Song Yubai's expression suddenly changed.
Just as he was about to say something, someone came up to greet him.
He immediately put on a warm smile and talked to people.
Arya took the opportunity to find several bigwigs she wanted to work with.
She did not pester anyone to discuss business, but just went to say hello, introduce herself, give him some agarwood, and then politely leave.
——We are all smart people. She came here to do business and also gave samples.
If the other party is interested, there will be a chance.
If it wasn't intentional, she could try again next time.
Everyone comes here for connections. As a small fry, she should know her own limitations and not waste too much of other people's time.
Of course, she also knew that many people were willing to look at her because she came with Song Yubai.
She and Song Yubai each had their own wants, so she didn't feel any guilt.
After she greeted everyone and went back, no one was there at Song Yubai's place.
He fanned himself and praised with a half-smile, "Zhou Zhou has a good mind. You said that if you followed me, we would be a perfect match. Wouldn't we dominate the business in Guangzhou?"
"I just want to occupy half of the sky." Erya said.
Song Yubai laughed out loud.
He thought Erya was bragging.
Erya looked at him seriously, and said word by word, "If you don't believe me, wait another ten years and see."
"Okay, okay, I'll wait and see."
Interesting, so interesting.
It's really boring for a woman to be always weak.
A woman who can make people want to conquer her is interesting.
As they were talking, the bidding began.
The atmosphere on the field suddenly became heated.
One rare treasure after another was presented on the stage, and wealthy businessmen competed to bid for them. The scene was quite spectacular.
Song Yubai watched with great interest, bidding from time to time and spending generously.
He bought a string of Dongzhu necklaces and a pair of jade bracelets, spending a total of over ten thousand taels of silver.
When the things were delivered, he placed them in front of Erya.
Erya didn't even blink.
"How about I give it to you? Can it make the beautiful lady smile?" Song Yubai asked with a smile.
Erya said, "Shut up, I want to buy blood bird's nest."
The auction has now begun.
In the end, she bought the blood bird's nest she wanted for five hundred taels of silver.
"Tell me what you want. It's just five hundred taels."
"I am filial to my mother." Erya said calmly, "Filial piety is one's own business."
"If I have the chance, I will definitely go and pay a visit to your father and mother."
"There may not be a chance." Erya said with an aloof attitude.
"I'm very curious," Song Yubai said, not angry at all, continuing to test her tone, "How could your father and mother be willing to let a girl like you go out into business? Aren't you afraid of the dangers you might encounter?"
"Because my parents know I'm capable. As for danger...am I not talking to danger right now? That's all."
Song Yubai was amused by her again.
Arya glanced at him.
This man is so slick.
He laughed too much today.
"Girls in this world don't have it easy. But just because it's not easy, I'm waiting to be exploited and arranged. I don't know what others think, but I don't want to do that."
The more difficult it is, the more we must find a way out.
"Song Yubai, I heard that you have encountered some difficulties recently?" Erya said calmly.
"Difficult thing? How come I don't know about it?" Song Yubai said without leaving a single word out.
"Oh, I forgot. Your father has many wives and concubines, and a host of children and grandchildren. So the sister you are selecting to enter the palace might not be your daughter from the same mother?"
Song Yubai was suddenly hit in the sore spot.
Yes, this was indeed something that made him particularly anxious.
In order to solve the problem, he asked people for help everywhere, and it was inevitable that the news would leak out.
"She is my biological sister from the same mother." He gritted his teeth, with a hint of pain in his eyes.
The emperor held a large-scale beauty contest and required all the places to send women of marriageable age to the capital.
The Song family was targeted.
It’s not because his sister is so beautiful and extraordinary, but because she was born in the Song family.
Although the Song family is very low-key, it is not easy to hide their wealth.
His father has been very low-key and acts like a grandson. He donates money to build roads and bridges and shows sympathy to the poor and weak.
But what is the result?
Those officials still feel it is not enough.
Yes, the Song family’s wealth is enough to allow them to go directly to the capital and find a backer.
But in his father's eyes, the talent show was not worth using such a big connection.
It is a blessing for the Song family to be able to enter the palace and become an empress.
This was what Song Yubai’s father thought.
He had seven sons and more than a dozen daughters, and even the legitimate daughters were not that important to him.
But Song Yubai felt sorry for his sister, who was born to the same mother as him.
Too much concern leads to confusion.
Song Yubai spent the silver.
However, this money did not solve the problem, but instead exposed my weakness and made me demand more money.
Officials at every level wanted to gain some benefits from this matter.
But this is my sister from the same mother, and this is my weak point. What can I do?
Song Yubai had already spent 100,000 taels of silver.
But the matter has not been resolved yet.
"I can help you." Erya said.
There was a look of suspicion in Song Yubai's eyes.
Obviously, he didn't believe it.
His fingers drummed unconsciously on the table.
"What are the conditions?" he said.
"I'm just doing you a favor." Erya's face was calm. "If you must make any conditions, then I propose one—"
