Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 1923

Sun Yuanbai also saw the meaning of everyone, walked a few steps, and came to Guo Ye.

He said: "Guo Dabao, didn't you say that Wu Meiniang is bound to win today? Why haven't you said a word since the bidding started? You boy, can't you even get [-] yuan? You really agreed Brother Yuan Shuang's words, I don't have money to force a big clove of garlic!"

Guo Ye gave him a disdainful look, and said, "You are a frog in a well, and you don't know the heights of the sky and the tiger. Yelang is arrogant, and he doesn't know the vastness of the Han Dynasty. It's a daydream to want to marry Wu Meiniang for one hundred thousand yuan!"

"Hey, toad yawned, you are so loud. From what you say, you mean you can spend more money than a hundred thousand coins?"

"That's natural. I didn't say anything just now, that's because I'll make a final decision after you all bid."

"Then now that we've finished bidding, tell me how much you're willing to pay?"

"Who said that? I haven't bid yet!" A strange tone sounded.

Everyone followed the prestige, but saw a person standing up.This person is tall, with a nose augmentation and deep eyes, and a beard all over his face. It is obvious that he is a Hu businessman.

This barbarian is also somewhat famous in Chang'an City.At that time, someone said: "Hu Bahai, it's Hu Bahai, why did you invite him here!"

"This Hu Bahai is the most lecherous. Although his main wife is dead, he has many concubines at home. Not only that, but he often sleeps in flowers and willows outside. Marrying Wu Meiniang to him is not pushing her into a pit of fire ?"

"How can the Duke's daughter marry Hu Shang? What is the Wu Brothers' plan? Why did you send him an invitation?"

"Isn't this obvious? Seeing profit and forgetting righteousness! This is trying to use my sister as a cash cow! Humph, just now they were talking about hype and righteousness, and now they have finally leaked the fox's tail!"

There was an uproar!

Wu Yuanqing lowered his hands and said, "Everyone, be quiet! Be quiet! Please listen to my explanation!"

When people's voices decreased, he continued: "It was not our brother's idea to send this invitation to Hu Bahai."

Someone asked, "Whose idea was that?"

"It's the late father! Everyone knows that our Wu family started as a timber business. Of course, we have to make money and accompany us in business. Once we lost our money in business, it was all thanks to the help of Hu Bahai's ancestors. Difficulty."

"Because the Hu family is very kind to our Wu family. Therefore, before my father died, he told our brothers that if my sister wants to marry, Hu Bahai can be taken into consideration."

Wu Yuanshuang said: "So, Hu Bahai was allowed to participate in this bidding entirely because of his late father's will. Whoever opposes this matter is against our brother's filial piety!"

After hearing this, people cursed shamelessly in their hearts!

After so many years, who has ever heard of the friendship between the warrior Xun and the ancestors of Hu Bahai?Isn't this completely out of the question?

The brothers of the Wu family are talking nonsense with their eyes open!

But slander belongs to slander, but no one stood up to expose Wu Yuanqing's lies.

The samurai Xun has died, and this matter is already a matter of death without proof.Wu Yuanqing pulled his face down and used his ancestors as a shield, so everyone could only hold their noses and recognize him.

Seeing that the people were silent, Wu Yuanqing said: "Okay, everyone has no objections. Brother Hu please bid!"

"20 sticks!"

Chapter 1774 The Highest Price Wins (2)

"What? How much did you pay?" Sun Yuanbai couldn't believe his ears.

"20 guan! That's twice what you bid just now! Mr. Sun, do you still want to increase the price?"

"I..." Sun Yuanbai gritted his teeth and said, "21 guan!"

"Only add 40 guan? How petty! I'll double it, [-] guan!"

"Hu Bahai, you're crazy!" Sun Yuanbai said angrily, "40 yuan, that's half of your net worth. Is it worth it for a woman?"

Hu Bahai said: "Money can't buy you happiness. Am I willing to let you take care of it? If you are willing to pay money, then continue to bid. If you are not willing, I will shut up for you, Uncle Hu!"

"I... I... I pay 40 guan!"

"Add 50 guan, you can say it! I will give [-] guan!"

As soon as the number Hu Bahai came out, Sun Yuanbai completely lost his temper. For 40 yuan, he could barely take it out.If there is another [-] crowns, the house and land will be sold.

He said: "Okay! You won. But can you let me understand why you are willing to pay such a high price to marry Wu Meiniang?"

"Your Sun Yuanbai was willing to pay 40 guan, and the price you paid was not small. Why is that?"

"That's because, although our grandson's family is rich and wealthy, we are not respected by the world because we were born as merchants. Marrying the daughter of the Duke's daughter as his wife can improve the lintel of our family. When future generations go out, they will also Brighten up."

Hu Bahai said: "People have the same heart and the same reason. My reason, Hu Bahai, is the same as yours, but the money is slightly more than yours. Haha!"

When Sun Yuanbai was defeated, everyone felt as if they had eaten a fly.This is not to say that he is popular, people hope that Wu Meiniang can marry him.

It was because, if he failed, it meant that the number one beauty in Chang'an City had to fall into the hands of Hu Shang!

Don't look at Guo Ye's net worth of tens of millions of guan, just think that 50 guan is not a big number.In fact, his is a complete exception within the exception.

Although Guo Ye was one of the most powerful officials in the Tang Dynasty, if he had not relied on the Changlefang Bank, he would be able to have a net worth of several million, which would be very good.

In fact, in the city of Chang'an, those with a net worth of more than one million yuan may not be able to count with two hands, but if you add two feet, there is definitely more than enough.

As for the people present... none of them were worth more than a million dollars.

Sun Yuanbai is considered the richest among them, and his entire net worth is only around 90 to [-] guan.Please note that this is all net worth, and cash is definitely not that much.

Just now, he was willing to spend 40 yuan to marry Wu Meiniang, which is considered to be his best effort.

He can't do it, and others can't do it!

As for Guo Dabao?

Even if Qin Guogong has a good relationship with him, he wouldn't spend 50 yuan to buy him a wife, right?

Even if Wu Meiniang was made of gold, it was only a thousand taels of gold. 50 coins, that is, 5 taels of gold.It is equivalent to taking gold fifty times her weight as a dowry gift.

Even if the Duke of Qin is as rich as an enemy country, he can't spend it like this!Guo Dabao is just his sworn brother, not his real father!

Seeing people bowed their heads and said nothing, Wu Yuanqing secretly rejoiced, everything was as expected!

He coughed and said: "Do you have any higher bids? If not, Meiniang will marry Hu Bahai! To be honest, I don't want Meiniang to marry a Hu Bahai, but father Fate is hard to escape, what can I do, what can I do!"

At this moment, someone shouted: "50 yuan!"

Everyone followed the reputation, it was Guo Dabao!

Can he really come up with this money? !

wow~~

The small courtyard suddenly seemed to be boiling, and there was a lot of voices!
