Quick Wear: Men Farming and Women Weaving

Wu Xie was looking around curiously, when suddenly his eyes met a familiar face—it was Liu Lisun! Liu Lisun also saw Wu Xie at the same moment, and a hint of hostility and resentment immediately flashed in his eyes.

It turned out that Liuli Sun had always been dissatisfied with Wu Sanxing, and the two had a conflict over the goods in the hall. Now, he actually transferred this hatred to Wu Xie, thinking that Wu Xie, as Wu Sanxing's nephew, must also be his enemy.

Liuli Sun stared at Wu Xie closely, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sneer. Wu Xie felt the other party's malicious gaze, and his heart tightened, but he did not retreat, but straightened his body and looked back without fear.

The moment Liuli Sun's gaze touched Zhang Qiling, an indescribable feeling of oppression surged over him like a tide.

"Boy from the Wu family, if you have the guts to come in, let's see if you have the guts to get out." After saying that, he sneered a few times and left.

"Wu Xie, hasn't your family offended him?" Fatty Wang knew that Liu Lisun also had considerable influence in Panjiayuan, Beijing.

"I seem to know only a little bit, and it seems to be related to Third Uncle." Wu Xie also shook his head in confusion.

The auction began and the atmosphere was tense and depressing.

Huo Xiangu, with her white hair left by the years and her beautiful face still visible, sat elegantly on a large carved chair, her eyes seemingly casually scanning the people in the private room. Suddenly, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her gaze shot straight to the door. When she saw Wu Xie's familiar figure appear, a hint of calculation flashed in her eyes. This hint of calculation was like a flash of dark light, so fast that it was hard to grasp.

"Young Master San, the old lady invites you to the private room." The Huo family's men invited Wu Xie and others to the second floor.

Wu Xie walked into the private room. On his left and right stood his two iron-clad brothers, Zhang Qiling and Fatty Wang. They were like two generals, exuding a calm and powerful aura.

Huo Xiangu looked at him with a half-smile. "Wu boy, long time no see." Wu Xie bowed respectfully, "Grandma Huo, why did you come to me today?" Huo Xiangu gently played with the jade bracelet in her hand and slowly said, "I heard that you have been investigating something." Wu Xie was shocked, but his face remained calm, "Grandma Huo, where did you hear that?" At this time, Zhang Qiling and Wang Pangzi felt that the atmosphere was not right, and stood behind Wu Xie, ready to protect him at any time.

Huo Xiangu slowly stood up and walked in front of Wu Xie with light steps. "No one can hide what I want to know from me." "I need you to help me go to a place, and I will only tell you some things." After saying this, Huo Xiangu turned around and sat back in her seat, as if everything was under control.

Wu Xie looked around and subconsciously walked to the left, which was where Zhang Dafo had sat. It seemed that his actions were all seen by Huo Xiangu, and the calculation in her eyes became even stronger.

"Who told you to sit here? Hurry up and get up." Huo Xiangu pretended to be anxious and asked him to get up.

Suddenly, there was a cry of surprise from the auction site. "Light the sky lantern!" Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a carved square lantern hanging outside the private room on the second floor, with a string of bronze bells hanging from the four corners.

"I didn't expect that someone would imitate Zhang Dafoye and light sky lanterns." "I wonder how much money there is to burn." People were talking about it, guessing the deeper meaning behind this mysterious act.

Xie Yuchen, who was in another private room, saw Wu Xie sitting in Zhang Dafo's seat and stood up suddenly with a look of astonishment on his face.

And Gege, who was sitting in the baby chair, also knew that Wu Xie's father was going to book the entire place.

Wu Xie looked around in confusion and turned to look at Huo Xiangu.

"What does this lamp mean, hanging there?"

Huo Xiangu sat down gracefully and took a sip of the tea beside her.

"It means that if you light the sky lantern, you have to buy all the auction items present."

He gloated and said, "I don't know if the Wu family can afford this money."

Zhang Qiling and Fatty Wang also noticed the change in the atmosphere. They stood closely beside Wu Xie, looking around vigilantly. "Wu Xie, be careful." Fatty Wang whispered, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Wu Xie, I seem to know something. When the Crescent Hotel lights up the sky lanterns, as long as you sit in Zhang Dafoye's seat, it's like booking the whole place. No matter how much others bid, you have to bid higher than them." Fatty Wang suddenly thought of the rumors about the Crescent Hotel.

Wu Xie took a deep breath and said, "Grandma Huo, what do you want me to do?"

Huo Xiangu stood up and walked slowly, her eyes looking at Wu Xie. "As long as you are safe and sound after four o'clock, I will tell you."

Wu Xie gave a helpless smile. Since he had already entered the game, he could only deal with it. He calmed down and began to think about how to survive these few hours.

At this time, Xie Yuchen hurried over. He glanced at Wu Xie and said to Huo Xiangu, "Grandma Huo, isn't this too much?" Huo Xiangu was unmoved, "Xiaohua, this is between me and the boy from the Wu family, don't interfere."

"Xiaohua!" Wu Xie looked at the door in surprise, as if he saw a savior.

Xie Yuchen walked to Wu Xie's side and whispered, "Wu Xie, how about I go and talk to Boss Yin?" Wu Xie knew that although Xiao Hua could help a little, facing the current complex situation, it would be extremely difficult to completely overcome this crisis. So, he shook his head gently, rejected Xiao Hua's proposal, and said, "It's okay, light the sky lantern."

At this moment, the usually taciturn young man said leisurely: "Light the sky lantern."

When Wu Xie heard what his brother said, he was stunned at first, but then he seemed to be inspired by something, and immediately plucked up his courage and said loudly: "Yes, light the sky lantern! Grandma Huo, since you insist on doing this, then we will follow the rules."

Huo Xiangu raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she was a little surprised by Wu Xie's sudden change, but she didn't say anything, only a hint of imperceptible thought flashed in her eyes.

Wu Xie took a deep breath and cheered himself up. At this moment, he had to face it bravely to have a chance of survival. He looked at Xie Yuchen beside him. The little brother was also standing quietly not far away, as if giving him invisible strength.

Wu Xie looked at Xiangu Huo again, his eyes firm: "Grandma Huo, if you want to light the sky lantern, then light it. I won't back down." After saying that, he straightened his back, turned around and sat in the middle chair.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Wu Xie, Xie Yuchen could only turn around and go back to the private room.

As each auction item was passed down and the price was raised high, Wu Xie kept muttering that Wushanju was gone, the old house was gone, and the hall was gone.

Liu Lisun downstairs raised the price maliciously.

As the last auction item was passed down, everyone present fell silent.

When Zhang Qiling saw the Ghost Seal, his whole mood became tense.

"Hey, little guy, look, that's the Ghost Seal!" Fatty Wang shouted as soon as he saw the Ghost Seal.

"Wu Xie, light the lamp"

Wu Xie had no choice but to listen to his brother and continue ringing the bell to hang up the sky lantern.

Liulishun downstairs is driving up prices, adding millions upon millions.

Wu Xie became more and more nervous as he heard the auction price.
