Li Kuang also turned his attention to Shen Xiyao and saw that she was no longer sitting on her knees with her back straight. Instead, she was leaning on the sofa with her legs bent and one hand on the table. He knocked on the table repeatedly, squinting with a sneer on his face.
Meng Changxun looked at Shen Xiyao's expression and smiled awkwardly.
"Changshi Shen is reluctant to leave?"
Mu Jianming didn't speak, and kept his original movements, tapping the table repeatedly.
After Mu Jianming found out where the banquet was being held today, he knew that this was another delegation from several countries, especially Hu Shichang. The purpose was to take the opportunity to humiliate Shen Xiyao and the Jibei Marquis Mansion.
At that time, Mu Jianming wanted to make a big fuss at the banquet to let everyone know that the Jibei Hou Mansion was not someone to be trifled with, otherwise there would be more such things in the future. Now someone actually took the initiative to give him a step back. Then grab it quickly.
"if……"
Looking at Mu Jianming's face, Meng Changxun was about to give up when he didn't expect Mu Jianming to speak.
"I wonder how much your Highness Prince Fu is prepared to bid?"
Meng Changxun was stunned for a moment and quickly spoke.
"How about I give you 30,000 guan?"
Mu Jianming sneered.
"My lord, you are looking down upon me. You are indeed smart, but I am not stupid either."
"Um……"
Meng Changxun put down his wine glass and walked back and forth a few times with his hands behind his back.
"I will add another 20,000 guan. How about 50,000 guan?"
"Hu Shichang, don't you have any ideas?"
Mu Jianming ignored Meng Changxun and turned his head to look at Hu Shichang without thinking it was a big deal.
Hu Shichang also leaned on the small table and looked at Meng Changxun with a sneer.
"A gentleman does not take away someone's love. Since Prince Meng wants it, I will be a man of beauty and will not participate in it."
Wu Lijin's eyes were full of longing and reluctance, but he didn't say much.
Mu Jianming turned his attention to Li Kuang again, without saying anything, but raising his eyebrows.
Li Kuangfu reached his heart and instantly understood what Mu Jianming meant.
"Changshi Shen, I also want this secret recipe. I will offer you another 20,000 guan."
Meng Changxun's face changed and became a little gloomy.
"Li Kuang, even if you buy the recipe, will Later Qin have the grain to make wine?"
Li Kuang played with the wine glass in his hand and said nonchalantly.
"I don't need to worry about it, King Fu."
"Changshi Shen?"
Meng Changxun looked at Mu Jianming with some dissatisfaction.
Mu Jianming said nothing, curled his lips, spread his hands, and shrugged.
Meng Changxun couldn't understand this weird action and asked again.
"What does this mean?"
Mu Jianming stood up and glanced at the audience.
"I know that many people want my recipe, and the world is so prosperous. Since we want to sell this brewing method, we should simply do it on a larger scale. But this occasion is a bit inappropriate, so we might as well change the time. How about changing the location, and anyone with the ability can bid, and the one with the highest bid will get it, how about it?"
There was a "wow" sound, and everyone in the venue was not calm anymore, whispering to each other, and talking about it.
While everyone's attention was not on him, Mu Jianming's eyes wandered around, sometimes looking at the architectural features and layout styles around him, and sometimes looking at the women in Tianxiang Pavilion.
Mu Jianming smacked his lips, feeling a little regretful.
There was a big gap between this place and what he imagined.
Each of these women has picturesque features and different temperaments, which are quite eye-catching, but they are all neatly dressed and behave like ladies.
There is no coquettish voice, the young lady in cool clothes is coquettish and coquettish and gives out benefits.
Bad review!
"It's better to choose a different day than to hit it. I think it's right here and now."
Seeing that things had changed, Meng Changxun couldn't care less and said shamelessly.
Mu Jianming glanced at the people from several countries with a half-smile, and said slowly: "Is this place suitable for me?"
Meng Changxun felt regret after hearing this.
When Hu Shichang came to him, he lobbied to hold this banquet, and said that he would cover all the money needed. He was greedy, so he agreed to the matter.
When he learned about the venue and invitation list, Meng Changxun had already figured out Hu Shichang's purpose, which was to humiliate Shen Xiyao. He was greedy at the time, but now he shot himself in the foot.
But you can't rely on Shen Xiyao. If the time were changed, not many people might come. Even if you risk everything to get the brewing method, you might not know what price you have to pay.
Meng Changxun arched his hands.
"Please ask Mr. Shen to take care of me for a while. This is my fault. Please wait for someone to come."
The subordinates waiting by him agreed.
"Go to Mingqing Tower quickly. I want to take down the top floor."
After saying that, he said to everyone in the courtyard: "Please move to Mingqing Tower."
"No need."
Mu Jianming interrupted Meng Changxun.
Meng Changxun wanted to grab time, but Mu Jianming was even more short of time. Once the arrangements were made at Mingqing Tower, he should go offline.
"Since the prince is so sincere, as the prince said, it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun. However, I hope the prince can give me half an hour. As the saying goes, the one with the highest price will get it. If you want to buy this recipe, you only need to Anyone who can get here within half an hour can bid."
"this……"
Meng Changxun pondered for a moment, then reluctantly agreed.
"Okay! Just follow what Changshi Shen said."
As soon as these words came out, the audience became lively.
Several officials of the Wei Dynasty left the courtyard under various excuses and disappeared without a trace.
Jiang Mingchu didn't understand the past. He asked in a low voice: "Senior sister, what's going on?"
Mu Jianming was stunned.
He couldn't accept a man calling him that.
"This is not the place to talk. I'll talk to you in detail when I go back."
Seeing this, Meng Changxun could only calm down and give orders to the people around him. The sound of silk and bamboo in the courtyard started again, and the dancers entered again and danced to the music. The slightly cold place gradually became lively again.
"Should we say something, then play music and then dance?"
Mu Jianming leaned against the waiter and complained secretly.
However, Rong Mu Jianming didn't have much time to relax.
Meng Changxun's chubby body came over, holding a wine glass and laughing with him.
"Chang Shi Shen, I know that I feel sorry for inviting you here, and I also know that you want to buy the prescription at a high price. But soon more people will come, and it will not be good for your reputation. This way, I If I pay 80,000 yuan and cover it up for you, you can leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. But I'm more curious about how you pay. Eighty thousand dollars is not a small amount."
"Hehe... I don't have 80,000 guan of money now. But I have some things with me. If the price is much more than 100,000 guan, I will treat it as 80,000 guan and give it all to you."
Mu Jianming thought about it and guessed what it was.
"These things of yours must be a reward from His Majesty. I'm sorry, I'm too timid to ask for them. Besides, I only want money. I don't want these things of yours no matter how much they cost."
"this……"
Meng Changxun was speechless for a moment and left angrily.
"Why do you only want money?"
Mu Jianming turned around when he heard this, and Li Kuang was already waiting aside.
Mu Jianming smiled.
"I just want to toss this fat guy."
Li Kuang shook his head helplessly.
"Only women and villains are difficult to raise. This is really true."
"Is this what Kong Sheng meant?"
Li Kuang said confidently: "I don't know. My Li family was founded on martial arts, and I really don't know much about literary talent."
Mu Jianming put his head aside and did not look at Li Kuang. However, a few steps away from the two of them, he saw several young officials from the Wei Dynasty who were attending the banquet. They were holding cups and looking eager to try, like fans who met their idols. , that look in his eyes made Mu Jianming's hair stand on end, making him a little scared.
Mu Jianming was stunned.
"How many of you are there?"
One of the people, with a slightly red face and a bit excited, walked a few steps closer to Mu Jianming.
"Shen... Chang Shi. We have kept several of your masterpieces in mind and often study and discuss them with our friends. We have also posted and visited before, but we didn't have the opportunity to meet Chang Shi. Today we can see them here It is our great fortune to be your constant attendant."
"oh oh."
Mu Jianming dumbly agreed several times.
"I still have some questions about writing poems and would like to ask Chang Shi for advice."
The corners of Mu Jianming's mouth twitched.
This is what he fears most.
It's easy to ask him to copy a few poems.
After all, among the poets standing behind me, not to mention the immortals, saints, Buddhas, demons, demons, and ghosts in the poems, those with fonts, even those without fonts, were not given in vain.
But if you talk about some allusions, rhymes, etc., and then make a drinking order. There is one in this yard, and if you take one out at random, he can't even see the taillights behind the house.
Even if we don't discuss these things, people open their mouths about the classics of Confucian sages and shut up about the works of sages. But he only knows that if a friend comes from afar, he will be killed no matter how far away he is.
The image of a talented woman that she had just created for Shen Xiyao collapsed in the blink of an eye.
What should I do? Wait online! It’s very urgent!
Mu Jianming now regretted the half-hour he had spared. He was talking hummingly while dealing with several fans, and his eyes were wandering around, thinking of a solution.
But it’s okay not to watch it, but it makes me sweat even more when I watch it.
Several top girls from Tianxiang Pavilion in the courtyard also slowly gathered around with expressions of fangirling. However, good etiquette and low self-esteem made them only dare to stay a few steps away, but did not dare to get close.
Well, I sweat a lot, but those adoring looks are still quite useful.
Don't ask, I have the same idea as these Wei officials.
Mu Jianming slowly turned around and looked at Jiang Mingchu for help.
Jiang Mingchu actually had a look of admiration and emotion on his face.
After finally getting rid of the entanglement of a bunch of fans, Mu Jianming breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again.
Scanning the audience, Mu Jianming discovered something strange.
Hu Shichang and his group, who should be domineering according to their personality, sat quietly around Chen Ruiyuan, ignoring the commotion in the venue.
There is something else I want to convey to Chen Ruiyuan, and they have no chance to interact with him while sitting like this.
Mu Jianming had been paying attention to Chen Ruiyuan, expecting their eyes to meet. But Chen Ruiyuan just sat steadily, looking only at the place a few feet in front of him, without raising his eyelids.
