The most romantic little emperor
Chapter 592: Widow Shen Qi
Inside the private room, Qin Hao and Xu Jingshu were another warm scene. They whispered to each other, their emotions flowing quietly between the lines, delicate and lingering.
Qin Feng and Zuo Wenxuan were like close friends who had met again after a long separation. Their conversation transcended the boundaries of their identities. They talked about everything, whether it was the political intrigues in the court or the daily life of the market, and they had a great time.
Only Qin Yun watched the "melee" in the field without blinking, and occasionally swore a few words.
In fact, his attention was more drawn to the three courtesans on the stage.
They had graceful figures, like fairies floating on water. Qin Yun's eyes always wandered inadvertently between the most eye-catching curves and flowing eyes of the three beauties. That undisguised appreciation seemed to be the happiest thing for him.
At this quiet and subtle moment, Qin Yun suddenly burst into a hearty laugh, attracting the attention of several people in the room.
"Haha, there are such strange things in the world. Someone actually wants to exchange food for my brother's poems. It's so funny." Qin Yun's laughter was full of teasing and surprise, and his words were full of wit and humor.
Qin Hao couldn't help but feel curious when he heard that. He raised his eyebrows slightly and his eyes involuntarily followed the direction of the voice and fell on the woman standing in the middle of the hall.
Although only a silhouette can be seen, the graceful figure outlined by the smooth lines, which is even more graceful in the interweaving of light and shadow, is enough to spark people's imagination.
I saw her opening her red lips and communicating with Zhu Yongkang, "Mr. Zhu, this poem "Song of Pity the Peasants" is full of pearls and touched the softest part of my heart. I like it very much."
"However, due to my family's limited financial resources, I have already used all my family's wealth to store food, and now I don't have enough money. I dare to ask, can I exchange the rice in the warehouse for this poem?"
Zhu Yongkang showed a gentle smile on his face, his eyes flashing with understanding and respect, and said lightly: "Ms. Shen, your feelings are touching, but our auction house has never encountered such a situation. It is quite difficult to deal with it. Otherwise..."
The implication of his words was to politely reject the other party's request.
The woman in the field had a gentle face, without the slightest sign of anger, and her tone was as soft as a spring breeze: "Sir, this auction is aimed at aiding the Northern Expedition Army. Although I am a weak woman, I have a fervent patriotic heart and am eager to do my best for the heroic soldiers of Daxia. Can you consider my sincerity and make some adjustments?"
"This..." Zhu Yongkang frowned slightly when he heard this, and a hint of embarrassment and thought flashed in his eyes.
Seeing this, the woman's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible determination, and she continued in her gentle but firm voice, "To show my sincerity, I am willing to add another 20,000 dan of grain, a total of 220,000 dan. This is the limit of what I can bear."
"If this matter still fails, then I will have no choice but to give it up. Although I am extremely reluctant, I also know that the overall situation is more important."
As soon as these words came out, the air seemed to freeze. Every word the woman spoke revealed her determination and sacrifice that should not be underestimated, and everyone present could not help but be moved.
Qin Hao heard this, turned to look at Zuo Wenxuan, and asked in a low voice: "Lord Zuo, who is this woman? Do you know her?"
Zuo Wenxuan hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Your Majesty, this girl is the daughter of the Shen family, a prominent family in the capital. Her name is Shen Qi. She married Ma Lin, the eldest son of the Ma family. It was a good story. However, things are unpredictable. On the wedding night, Ma Lin fell into the water due to drunkenness and died. Since then, Shen Qi has become a widow, with a miserable fate."
"Afterwards, the Shen family wanted to let Shen Qi leave the Ma family and find a good match for her, hoping that she could get out of the haze and regain her happiness. However, Shen Qi was strong-willed and adhered to the ancient saying that 'a woman should not serve two husbands'. She resolutely refused the family's arrangement and did not choose to return to the Shen family, but chose to stay in the Ma family."
"The Ma family is engaged in the grain business, and the scale is not small. Later, Shen Qi took over the Ma family's business. This woman is very trustworthy. Over the years, the Ma family's business has grown bigger and bigger under her careful management."
"Everyone in the Ma family trusts her very much. After the Ma family's patriarch died, the position of patriarch was passed to an outsider, Shen Qi. Therefore, she has a very important position in the Ma family, but her relationship with the Shen family is not very good."
"Almost everyone in the capital knew about this incident, and it became a legend."
Upon hearing this, everyone showed admiration on their faces and praised Shen Qi's character and deep patriotism.
A strange light flashed in Qin Hao's eyes. Obviously, Shen Qi's actions had deeply touched him.
He quickly called Luo Yang over, whispered a few words to him, and conveyed them to Zhu Yongkang on the scene.
On the field, the originally slightly stagnant atmosphere underwent a subtle change due to this episode, and it became somewhat deadlocked.
However, after receiving Qin Hao's instructions, Zhu Yongkang smiled slightly, and his voice was as gentle as jade, penetrating the hearts of everyone present: "Everyone, Ms. Shen Qi's patriotism is truly a role model for us, and her generous offer is currently unmatched."
"We, the auction house, feel honored to witness this moment and have decided to respect and accept Ms. Shen's bid. If no one here offers a higher price, then this poem "Mercy for the Peasants" will officially belong to Ms. Shen Qi. What do you think?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the venue suddenly burst into thunderous applause. Be it young men from prominent families or wealthy businessmen with millions of dollars, they all showed unprecedented magnanimity and tolerance for this kind act of helping others to achieve their goals.
What's more, the one who helped him this time was a beautiful woman with outstanding appearance and world-famous reputation, whose charm was enough to make even the most hard-hearted person feel tenderhearted.
As a result, the result was a natural outcome, and the poem "Song of Pity the Farmers" fell into Shen Qi's hands without any suspense.
After that, the auction proceeded in an orderly manner without any major disturbances.
However, when the last song "Water Melody: When Will the Bright Moon Appear" came out of nowhere, the whole venue seemed to be shaken suddenly by an invisible force. Everyone's eyes were instantly focused and their hearts trembled.
"People have sorrows and joys, and the moon is cloudy and clear. This matter is hard to come by in ancient times."
"Nung, moon and new moon."
This poem, like a bright moon leaping out from the sea of clouds, illuminates the entire night sky and pushes the auction to an unprecedented peak.
Its charm lies not only in the extraordinary words and sentences, but also in the fact that it touches everyone's infinite yearning and resonance for beauty, reunion and the philosophy of life deep in their hearts.
Everyone at the scene opened their eyes wide and exclaimed in amazement. Before the auction even started, everyone was ready to bid.
