"Two hundred and fifty-one taels."
"What do you mean, you have to have one or two more than me."
Zhou Xingnan seemed to be startled and patted his chest to calm down.
"You are such a strange person. The people of the Cheng family are amazing. Since your family is so powerful, you have the ability to offer a price that I dare not raise, otherwise I will always be one tael more than you."
Zhou Xingnan also slammed the table and stood up, "You look particularly arrogant."
At this moment, Lan Wangshu knew why he came here. Wasn't this just a trick?
Wow, this guy is really smart. She never thought that this would happen.
"Five hundred taels."
Zhou Xingnan snorted, turned his head with some regret, looked at the bicycle with lingering eyes, covered his face, and shook his head, as if he was really regretful.
The young master of the Cheng family became even more proud when he saw him like that, and didn't notice at all that his father had a murderous look in his eyes.
Only Lan Wangshu saw the cunning and eagerness in Zhou Xingnan's eyes.
"Five hundred taels for one time, five hundred taels for two times, five hundred taels for three times, deal. Let us congratulate the young master of the Cheng family for obtaining the only steel bicycle in the world. From now on, the young master of the Cheng family will be the most glorious young master in Dazhao. Please keep this unique bicycle."
Lan Wangshu walked over, took the prepared contract, filled in all the blanks in front of the young master of the Cheng family, and handed it over.
"Please sign, young master. We have settled the payment. From now on, this bicycle will belong to the Cheng family."
The young master of the Cheng family was so excited that he took out the banknote and signed his name without thinking.
Lan Wangshu put it away with a smile and congratulated again.
She noticed the scrutinizing look from the Minister of Personnel, but she didn't take it seriously.
As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. If he dares to plot against him, I'm afraid Lord Lin will not let him go.
Sure enough, when introducing the next lot, I heard the voice of Elder Lin, which seemed to be a smile:
"I didn't realize that the Cheng family is so rich."
The Minister of Personnel heard the deep meaning behind Elder Lin's words, and his heart skipped a beat, but he still smiled and said:
"No, the child was just being naughty, and I can't directly insult him."
He knew what Elder Lin was thinking. He was dissatisfied with the fact that he paid Elder Lin too little every year and wanted to raise the price. But he didn't want to compromise easily, so he kicked the ball back without making a sound.
They were just ignorant children. What did it have to do with the Cheng family? Was it not allowed for aristocratic families to pretend to be rich?
"You don't want anything else?"
Elder Lin looked at the booklet in front of him, frowned, and flipped through it with a suspicious look on his face.
"Look at this paper, it's really valuable!" He held up the booklet and showed it to Lord Cheng next to him. "There are only three sheets of this kind of paper. I heard it's very smooth, like a girl's skin. Lord Cheng, aren't you interested?"
Cheng is the Minister of Personnel and a famous scholar. He likes to write poems and essays, and he can't put down these rare antiques. If it weren't for the fact that the family needed someone to take charge of power and the previous generation of the head of the family had only one son, he would have given up his official position and become a calligrapher.
Hearing what Elder Lin said, Lord Cheng's eyes lit up for a moment, but soon calmed down again. He shook his head gently, indicating that he didn't care.
"Lord Lin, you know my character. Although I like calligraphy and painting, I am not interested in these luxurious things. I prefer things that are simple and meaningful." Lord Cheng said with a firm tone.
After hearing this, Lord Lin couldn't help but laugh. He patted Lord Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Haha, great! Lord Cheng is indeed an honest and upright person, worthy of admiration. However, let's continue to look at other items. Maybe there are some treasures that will excite you!" As he said that, he turned to the next page, which recorded some precious calligraphy and paintings.
