The moment she saw Li Minghuang, Zhang Yuyue's face turned pale.
Regardless of whether Zhang Yuyue was jealous of herself or not, the years of sisterly affection still made Zhang Yuelu hold her hand immediately to express comfort.
Zhang Yuyue's lips trembled slightly, she wanted to say something but couldn't open her mouth.
Qi Xuansu looked at Li Minghuang.
It happened that Li Minghuang was also looking this way, and their eyes happened to collide.
To be fair, Qi Xuansu and Li Minghuang had no grievances, they were strangers, and Zhang Yuyue was not his wife, so the collision of their eyes did not stir up any sparks, they just nodded in greeting from a distance.
As for why Li Minghuang pays attention to Qi Xuansu instead of Zhang Yuelu, the reason is very simple. Li Minghuang and Zhang Yuelu are colleagues. They have been in contact with Tiangang Hall for a long time. They are already very familiar with each other. There is no need to pay too much attention to it. Instead, it is Qi Xuansu who suddenly emerged.
Rising stars are stranger and more worthy of attention.
Qi Xuansu looked away and said nothing.
Li Minghuang's appearance is quite good, otherwise he would not have been favored by Zhang Yuyue, or even become his entry point. He is not the kind of jade-faced scholar who needs to be refined, but is rough and unruly, even if he is
Being unkempt will only give people a sense of vicissitudes of life, but not a sense of slovenliness. In terms of age, he is much older than Qi Xuansu, and even a few years older than Qi Jianyuan. It is a man's golden age.
The youthfulness is gone, leaving only maturity without looking old.
But what attracted the most attention was Li Minghuang's gas state.
Show your sharpness.
Although Li Minghuang is not as good as Zhang Yuelu, the deputy hall leader who is less than forty years old also means that he has a bright future.
If you are not full of energy, you are not a young person, and if you are not contented, you are not successful.
If you are complacent, you will naturally not hide your edge.
Qi Xuansu doesn't have such a sharp edge, or he does have it occasionally, but it doesn't last forever. Because of Qiniang's influence, Qi Xuansu always has a bit of humor in him, and it's unlikely that the two gas states can exist at the same time.
Li Minghuang and Qi Xuansu both came from miserable backgrounds, and both relied on women to rise to power.
The difference is that Qi Xuansu relies on his mother. He doesn't have to sacrifice his appearance. He just needs to listen to his mother and be a filial and good boy. As for Zhang Yuelu, he is indeed from a high background, but he cannot be regarded as Qi Xuansu's help. After all, Zhang Yuelu is in the Zhang family.
Before making a big compromise, I still had too much time to take care of myself.
Li Minghuang did not have such luck. He could only take another path. He regarded those famous ladies as different springboards to help him climb higher step by step. Zhang Yuyue was one of his stepping stones.
If Zhang Yuyue could have Zhang Yuelu's abilities, then Li Minghuang wouldn't mind stopping there and marrying Zhang Yuyue. It's a pity that Zhang Yuyue didn't
With such ability, Li Minghuang abandoned Zhang Yuyue.
Zhang Yuyue also fell into despair.
Zhang Yuelu was very hostile to Li Minghuang because of Zhang Yuyue. This troubled Li Minghuang a little. Although he was higher than Zhang Yuelu in the ranking of Tiangang Hall, Zhang Yuelu was a small leader, and she had two real leaders who supported her, namely the chief.
He and the second seat also wanted to give her three points. It would be difficult for Li Minghuang to confront Zhang Yuelu head-on.
However, Li Minghuang was not easy to get along with. He boarded the Li family's big ship and was adopted as his adopted son. Although his adopted father was only a natural generation, he had a high status in the Li family and was very powerful.
He can also speak well in front of the Imperial Master. Because the Li family adopts an adopted son and attaches great importance to the son-in-law, the generational hierarchy in the Li family is confusing and often does not match their age. Some are just born in the heavenly generation and have full hair, and some have gray hair.
The older generation is still young.
Not long ago, under the recommendation of his adoptive father, Li Minghuang met the Imperial Preceptor. Although the Imperial Preceptor only talked with him for a short time, the attitude shown by the Imperial Preceptor made Li Minghuang very excited.
Neither Li Changge nor Li Tianzhen was born as an adopted son. Now the Li family still lacks a leading figure who was born as an adopted son. Whether it is a benchmark or a banner, in short, such a person is needed, and Li Minghuang is undoubtedly the one.
The most suitable candidate.
This made Li Minghuang so full of ambition that he felt as angry as a tiger swallowing thousands of miles.
Many years later, he may not be able to become one of the decision-makers of the Taoist sect, making all the changes.
After Li Changsheng and Li Minghuang arrived, they briefly exchanged greetings with Zhang Jucheng and Zhang Wuliang. Zhang Jucheng was Zhang Yuyue's father. When facing Li Minghuang, his behavior and demeanor were as usual. No one could see anything strange, which showed that he was very good at nourishing qi.
.
Once these big shots were seated, the bidding officially began.
Qi Xuansu was just watching the fun. Zhang Yuelu and Tantai Qiong temporarily put aside their prejudices and comforted Zhang Yuyue together. On the contrary, the real husband Dong Baijing was pushed aside by Tantai Qiong. This also shows that this family's son-in-law is not that easy to be.
Zhang Kuping spent 5,000 taiping money to buy an authentic work by the layman Qinghe. Zhang Kuqi, who was not shy, actually spent 3,000 taiping money to buy a blood scripture left by a Taoist priest of the Jin Dynasty, which symbolizes
The significance is very important. Zhang Juli spent 18,000 Taiping money to get a fan with the appearance of a treasure. For Zhang Juli, the chief deputy head of Wuzhou Taoist Prefecture, the treasure itself is of little significance, but this fan is from that year.
The belongings carried by Lin Lingsu, the great master of the Jin Dynasty, and Lin Lingsu's inscription are of great significance.
Qi Xuansu could only lament the wealth of the big family, especially his father-in-law, who had a lot of private money. It was not that Qi Xuansu looked down upon his father-in-law, it was just that he looked weak and did not seem to be able to control the financial power of the family.
He is different. Zhang Yuelu will never control him through financial means. They are still relatively equal and respect each other.
Only Qiniang can firmly control Qi Xuansu's economic lifeline.
Because a compromise was reached, Zhang Wuliang, who represented the head of the Zhang family, gave Zhang Yuelu a lot of face and spent 20,000 peace dollars to buy the treasure donated in Zhang Yuelu's name. .??.
Soon, it was Qi Xuansu's turn for "The Female Sword Fairy".
The auction host said loudly: "As we all know, "The Female Sword Fairy" is the masterpiece of Madam Xuan Sheng. Since its publication, it has been published and distributed by Qingping Book Company. In more than 200 years, more than one million copies have been published. However,
This "Female Sword Fairy" is a limited edition collector's edition with an estimated value of about 300 Taiping coins and was donated by Xuan Su, Vice Hall Master Qi."
After the words fell, a burst of low laughter sounded in the auditorium.
Three hundred peace coins?
Isn't this too stingy? How about sending beggars away?
Do you still want to marry the noble daughter of the Zhang family?
A son-in-law is just a son-in-law and cannot achieve great things.
The atmosphere is awkward.
Zhang Jucheng had a good impression of Qi Xuansu. In order to resolve this embarrassment, he symbolically quoted a price: "Three thousand Taiping coins."
It doubled tenfold in the blink of an eye.
This brought the laughter to an abrupt end.
The attitude of the little guy doesn't matter, the attitude of the big guy is the key.
Many people were influenced by Zhang Jucheng and understood Zhang Jucheng's intentions, and began to quote prices one after another.
No matter how you say it, Qi Xuansu represents Quanzhen Tao. You don’t have to give Qi Xuansu face, but you must give Quanzhen Tao face.
Soon, the price climbed to 6,000 Taiping coins, which was already twenty times the value of the "Female Sword Fairy" itself, and was almost at its limit.
Qi Xuansu breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Zhang Yuelu, who no longer comforted Zhang Yuyue, suddenly quoted: "Ten thousand peace money."
The whole hall was in an uproar.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu.
Zhang Yuelu is as calm as ever.
Ten thousand Taiping coins is not a big sum for the people here. It is one thing to use ten thousand Taiping coins to buy a treasure. It is one thing to use ten thousand Taiping coins to buy a copy of "The Female Sword Fairy".
"That's another story.
The latter is simply a waste of money.
You must know that this is a charity sale, no matter how much money is sold, it will not go to Qi Xuansu's hands, but will be used to support the Fenglinzhou war effort, so there is no right hand over left hand.
Qi Xuansu was also surprised and quickly sent a message asking: "Where did you get so much peace money?"
Zhang Yuelu replied: "The Heavenly Master gave it to him in advance. He said that he would not take the Taiping Money with him during life or death, but he could just donate it. He is a person who is about to ascend, and it is useless to have this reputation, so he gave this reputation to him."
Got me."
Qi Xuansu understood that Zhang Yuelu was borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha.
At this moment, someone praised: "Deputy Hall Master Zhang is so upright and upright."
Zhang Yuelu first sold the treasure he donated for 20,000 Taiping, and now he spent another 10,000 Taiping to bid for it, in exchange for a worthless "Female Sword Fairy", which cost 30,000 Taiping inside and out. The key is "Female Sword Fairy"
》Not as valuable as other items, there is almost no return on investment.
This is real money and silver, so it is naturally high-spirited and honorable.
But to be honest, all this money came from the Heavenly Master. It was really the Heavenly Master who gave Zhang Yuelu his reputation.
Zhang Yuelu didn't take any credit, but he didn't go against Tianshi's good intentions and explain anything.
Naturally, no one laughed at Qi Xuansu anymore. After all, not everyone could sell something worth 300 Taiping yen for a high price of 10,000 Taiping yen. Some people thought that this was what Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu had discussed long ago.
At the same time, some people like Yan Mingchen are also heartbroken. Zhang Yuelu supports Qi Xuansu like this. The affection in this cannot be explained by just saying that they have a good relationship. From this, the relationship between the two is almost settled. Looking at Zhang Yuelu,
The Zhang family also agreed with the restrained attitude.
Li Minghuang looked deeply at Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, wondering what he was thinking.
The finale was Zhu Guo, the price was not high, but there were few ways to obtain it. Basically, it was the Zhang family’s annual auction, which sold for a high price of 9,000 Taiping coins, and was won by Li Minghuang. The big axis was a "Five Qi"
"True Pill" was auctioned for a high price of 24,000 Taiping coins, which was won by Li Changsheng.
In the end, when calculating the amount of donation, it is not based on how much money was spent participating in the bidding, but how much peace money the donated items can be sold for.
The "Five Qi True Pills" and Zhu Guo were donated in the name of the Celestial Master, and Lin Lingsu's folding fan was donated in the name of Zhang Jucheng. Therefore, the Celestial Master topped the list with 33,000 Taiping coins, followed by 20,000 Taiping coins.
Zhang Yuelu, then Zhang Jucheng with 18,000 Taiping coins, and Qi Xuansu ranked fourth with 10,000 Taiping coins, which made many people who wanted to see Qi Xuansu's joke unable to laugh.
