Although Hu Shichang and others on the side were accompanied by beautiful women, they did not talk easily. This made the young lady adjusting the atmosphere a little embarrassed.

As he watched, Mu Jianming narrowed his eyes slightly.

Ouch! The ceiling of pure desire has actually come.

The woman was also disguised as a man, pretending to be a Confucian scholar, sitting not far from Hu Shichang, and looking at the audience inconspicuously.

Seeing Mu Jianming looking at her, Yiyi blinked her left eye mischievously and smiled softly.

Mu Jianming spent half an hour in agony.

It’s so difficult!

From time to time, people would come over to greet him and ask for advice, which frightened Mu Jianming.

I can't leave this elegant garden yet. If someone sees that he is a woman disguised as a man and becomes lustful, it will make things worse.

And what if you meet someone who is so drunk that you don't notice that she is disguised as a man, but has a special hobby...

Mu Jianming shivered.

And he doesn't have Shen Xiyao's strength right now. If something happens, Shen Xiyao can fight him out, but he can't.

Fortunately, it didn't take half an hour, and the people who left Yayuan came back again, and brought others with them.

Seeing this scene, Meng Changxun shrewdly ended the agreement half an hour in advance. After telling everyone what happened again, he changed his tone and said happily: "Everyone, the price of this brewing recipe has been increased to eight." If you are successful, you can continue to bid if you are interested."

The newcomers were either surprised or frowned, looking at Mu Jianming with some confusion.

"Changshi Shen, isn't the price already at 70,000 guan? Why is it only 80,000 guan?"

"Isn't this a new bid?"

Mu Jianming didn't take it seriously.

"Anyway, Prince Meng has been waiting for half an hour, so it makes sense to let him take advantage. As for the price of 80,000 yuan, I have to ask Prince Meng."

Meng Changxun still had a smile on his face.

"Oh, I'm sorry everyone. While I was waiting for you, I made a second offer and increased it to 80,000 yuan."

Several people were speechless. One of them seemed to be dissatisfied and took a step forward.

"I am..."

Mu Jianming raised his hand to interrupt the man's conversation. He said slowly: "If you bid here, just bid. Don't say your identity. If it doesn't work out, it will avoid embarrassment. In the end, the highest bidder will win."

The man's face turned cold, he shook his sleeves, snorted, and stepped back.

Meng Changxun's little abacus worked. The price started at 80,000 yuan, which scared away some people who wanted to bid. Others had to make careful calculations.

After a while, someone finally spoke.

"I'll give you one hundred thousand yuan."

Mu Jianming looked up and saw a thin old man. His back was straight, his right hand was behind his back, and his left hand was stroking three strands of gray beard. His eyes were calm and not aggressive at all.

Mu Jianming cupped his hands to express his gratitude.

"I will give you 120,000 gold coins."

Meng Changxun gritted his teeth and reported another number.

He thought that this brewing recipe would definitely rise through Mu Jianming's hand, but he didn't expect it to rise so much and so quickly.

Mu Jianming was also a little surprised. The price was a bit high. Maybe Meng Changxun would give up and the bidding would collapse.

Where can he find someone like this to sell distilled liquor? He really wants to sell it for some money.

Meng Changxun breathed a little heavily and stared at the people who had planned to bid.

These people are now at a loss.

Their respective owners wanted this recipe, and finally got the news that the Shen family wanted to sell the recipe for making wine. But when they came, they found out that the price was already higher than they imagined.

No one spoke for a while.

Mu Jianming also felt that it was almost over and no one would bid anymore.

"That's good..."

"Wait a minute, Gu Yuan will give you 130,000 yuan."

Just as Mu Jianming was about to speak again, a gentle voice sounded out unhurriedly.

Everyone looked around and saw that the person speaking was Chen Ruiyuan, the prince of Nanchu, who had the lowest presence in the entire banquet.

Chen Ruiyuan did not raise his head, and kept beating his chest with the feather fan in his hand.

Meng Changxun's gloomy face had just improved a little, but it became even more difficult to look at. He tried his best to stare at Chen Ruiyuan with his eyes squeezed together by the fat on his face.

Mu Jianming suppressed his excitement and finally had the opportunity to talk to Chen Ruiyuan.

Ignoring the sullen Fatty Meng, Mu Jianming saluted Chen Ruiyuan.

"His Royal Highness, are you also interested in participating?"

Before Chen Ruiyuan could speak, Hu Shichang spoke dissatisfiedly.

"Chen Ruiyuan, do you have that much money?"

"I don't have it. But there is in Southern Chu. As the royal family of the Chu Kingdom, our Chen family should spend some money to buy a winery so that we can brew and drink our own wine."

"you……"

Hu Shichang was also a little depressed. Although he, Wu Lijin and Xu Liangqiu were not used to drinking Luoshen wine, he also knew that he could make huge profits here.

However, in order to win over Shu and Meng Changxun, he suppressed his thoughts, which also forced Wu Lijin and Xu Liangqiu to give up their fight over the Luoshen brewing method, but they did not expect that Chen Ruiyuan would take the opportunity to make a move.

Moreover, other people may not understand what Chen Ruiyuan said. But Hu Shichang, Wu Lijin, and Xu Liangqiu heard it clearly.

Since the Hu, Wu, and Xu families are planning to support the Chen family as puppets, they will provide some money and the Chen family will also cooperate to make a complete mess.

Chen Ruiyuan ignored Hu Shichang and continued: "Besides, I have met Shen Changshi a few times, so we can talk. Since Shen Changshi wants to get some benefits from this, Gu is happy to cooperate. Besides, this Luo Shen

I make a lot of profit from the wine, otherwise I wouldn’t have attracted so many people to come here.”

After saying these words, Meng Changxun's face was gloomy, and Hu Shichang's face was not good-looking either. Only Mu Jianming's brows were slightly furrowed and his eyes kept moving.

Chen Ruiyuan seems to have something in his words!

Mu Jianming did not dare to delay and decided to give it a try.

"Thank you for your kindness, Prince. As long as what His Highness says is true, I will not let you down."

Chen Ruiyuan gave Mu Jianming a slight bow, raised his glass in a distant salute, and nodded imperceptibly.

Done!

Mu Jianming, who had been watching Chen Ruiyuan's every move the whole time, secretly clenched his fists.

The most important thing of this banquet is done! The rest depends on how much the distilled liquor can be sold for.

Chen Ruiyuan put down his wine glass and stared at Hu Shichang for a moment.

Hu Shichang turned his face away from Chen Ruiyuan angrily, raised his hand and waved to Mu Jianming, agreeing to Chen Ruiyuan's bid.

"Changshi Shen, what do you say?"

Mu Jianming raised his head, looked at Meng Changxun, who looked like the bottom of a pot, and let out a guilty sigh.

He also felt that it was unreasonable to defraud Fatty Meng of more than 100,000 yuan for a recipe for distilled liquor.

"Uh...His Royal Highness Prince Fu, why don't you add more?"

"you……"

Meng Changxun snorted heavily, shook his sleeves and turned back to his seat. The beauty from Tianxiang Pavilion who was accompanying him hurriedly brought Meng Changxun a glass of wine.

"Your Majesty, let's have a glass of wine to relax... ah..."

Meng Changxun didn't even answer the question and pushed the woman to the ground.

"You bitch, why did you show up here? If you were in my house, you would have been beaten to death with sticks, or sent to the camp and used as a military prostitute."

Mu Jianming narrowed his eyes, grabbed the wine glass on the table and threw it to the ground.

"Meng Changxun, what does it mean to refer to mulberry trees and scold huai trees?"

Everyone was shocked by this, and the courtyard suddenly fell silent.

"Prince Fu, what do you mean by this?"

Ji Yun also heard that there was something in Meng Changxun's words, and stood up to question Meng Changxun with a sullen face.

Jiang Mingchu stood up immediately, walked a few steps and stood in the middle of the field, staring at Meng Changxun with clenched fists.

Among the people who were invited to the banquet, a group of people who had previously chatted with Mu Jianming for advice also stood up and stared at Meng Changxun with serious expressions.

"Uh...ah...ha...haha. Everyone, everyone, it's my fault. I didn't mean that Sang scolded Huai to offend Shen Changshi. It was really, uh...I drank too much. I drank too much. Forgive me! Forgive me. !”

A smile slowly appeared on Meng Changxun's fat face, and he repeatedly held up his hands and apologized to everyone in the Wei Kingdom, especially bowing to Shen Xiyao.

"Get out of here quickly."
