Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.

Chapter 546: The one with the highest price wins!

The guards were not polite and had no need to save face for the Wang family. One of them said directly: "These people are from the Wang family. They sneaked in to cause trouble last night and we caught them."

Everyone gasped when they heard this, and then the fire of gossip started blazing.

"What bad things did they do? Tell me quickly. We live nearby, so we can be on guard."

“That’s it, that’s it! It’s a sickle and a pair of scissors. It looks scary!”

Everyone was urging them, and the guard continued: "These people came here in the middle of the night and wanted to jump into the yard and destroy all the famous flowers blooming inside!

“You must know that those famous flowers are sold for money or exchanged for food, and sent to the relief department to help the old, weak, sick and disabled, but they were almost destroyed by them!

"Fortunately, our brothers stayed up all night and caught them. The same goes for the Wang family. No matter how displeasing the Baiyuan Garden is, we can't take it out on the flowers!"

 “What, you want to ruin a famous flower? But it’s so immoral, who are you delaying when the flower is blooming?!”

“That’s right, the wall is covered with them, and no one is willing to pick one.”

“Are we selling flowers in Baiyuan Garden to save people in exchange for food? How benevolent and righteous, those people at the Relief Department can be saved! I passed by a few days ago, and the children and old people in the yard were crying so loudly, how pitiful..."

Everyone pointed at the men in black. Wang Zechen couldn't bear it anymore. He didn't care about the men in black, got on the carriage and left.

The people in black supported each other, rolled and climbed to catch up, and soon disappeared.

At this time, someone asked: "Brother, since you caught them doing bad things, why don't you send them to the official?"

The guard replied: "The eldest man of the Wang family just now said that these people were sent by the crazy third master, and he didn't know about it. Our uncle didn't want to ruin the mood of the distinguished guests inside to enjoy the flowers, so he Let the person go.

“Humph, everyone’s eyes are sharp. Everyone knows what’s going on, right?”

"Yes Yes!"

 Everyone nodded in response.

Someone whispered: "The Wang family is quite respectable, but why are they acting more and more sinisterly? They don't dare to admit they have done bad things, and they even have no courage. It's really despising!"

“Yes, I used to think that the Wang family was pretty good, but in the past two years it has become really notorious!” Others also agreed.

"Which Wang family are you talking about? What's going on?" The new onlooker who came here, perhaps from out of town, asked curiously.

So everyone gave him some knowledge about the Wang family's robbery of talented people to marry into their wives. In short, the grievances between the Wang family and the Li family were enough to write a play.

Not to mention outside the courtyard, because of the amazing help of the guards, a public opinion war against the Wang family has already started.

　　In the west room of the main house, Mrs. Li, Tao Hongying and Jiayin realized that Baiyuan Garden had experienced such a dangerous thing last night, and they were all afraid.

 Luckily, Li Laoer had taken precautions early, otherwise it wouldn't matter if he lost a few pots of flowers, but what should he do if Li Laoer and Mr. Wen were injured?

 Old Mrs. Li couldn't help but scolded: "My second brother is getting more and more bold, and he didn't even tell his family about it!"

Tao Hongying advised: "Mother, the second brother is a trustworthy guard of the Marquis Mansion. Don't be angry. Just give the second brother a few words when you get back, so that he will not put himself in danger in the future."

Mrs. Li sighed, "That's all we can do. The four brothers are old enough and they all have their own ideas. I, an old farm woman, can't help, and I don't dare to give random ideas, which might cause trouble for them."

Jiayin felt sorry for her grandma. She quickly got into her arms and said with a smile: "Grandma, I'm still young. I'll listen to you. You can give me some advice in the future!"

Old Mrs. Li couldn't help crying or laughing. She rubbed her granddaughter's soft hair and finally felt better.

 In the courtyard, Li Laoer had already asked people to change the tea for the guests, and served cut jade melons.

After everyone ate and drank, the anxiety and frenzy just now became less intense. Li Lao'er then said: "Dear guests, the nasturtium here lasts for two hundred days, and all the calyxes bloom layer by layer. It is indeed magical and rare.

"I plan to use this Golden Lotus in exchange for food and common medicinal materials as the first batch of materials to be donated to the Relief Department. Of course, if you have a doctor at home, you can temporarily borrow one and a half months to see the elderly and children at the Relief Department, and more alright.

“I will offer a base price of five hundred tons of grain and a cart of medicinal materials. I will distribute pens and papers to everyone in a while. You can increase the price and sign your name. In the end, the highest bidder will get it.

“And the guests with the second highest price and the third highest price can have priority among the remaining famous flowers. What do you think?”

Everyone thought about it quickly in their minds, and they all felt that this method was good and very fair.

Furthermore, the Golden Lotus is originally a sacred flower of Buddhism. As soon as it appears, it uses the food it exchanges to save people in distress. It is also a good story to tell...

Soon, everyone got paper and pen, wrote notes one after another, and put them into a small basket.

Finally, Dean Zhou and two famous officials who loved flowers personally inspected and compared it. Even Li Laoer stood aside to avoid suspicion.

 After a while, the results came out.

 An adult named Feng won the first place!

His wife has also been a vegetarian and worshiped Buddha for many years, and her health has not been good recently.

He spent a lot of money this time. Not only did he write on the note 800 loads of grain and six carts of medicinal materials, he also had a doctor stay at the clinic for three months!

Others were surprised by the strength of the Feng family and admired his filial piety. They all held their hands to congratulate him.

Li Laoer personally held the golden lotus from the ground to Mr. Feng and said with a smile: "Master Feng can take the golden lotus back to the old lady to see. The old lady will be blessed by the golden lotus and will definitely recover soon. As for food and medicinal materials, I will It won’t be too late to deliver it in a few days.”

Master Feng was grateful after hearing this. After all, it is a rule to pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. The Li family gave Jin Lian first to show their trust in him.

 He thanked him repeatedly, took the golden lotus, and thanked everyone.

 For a time, the atmosphere in the courtyard was extremely harmonious.

 The second highest bidder was Mr. Liu, who took advantage of his right of first choice and asked for the Junhe plant. The other distinguished guest with the third highest bidder chose the Golden Phoenix.

In this way, the three pots of famous flowers have their homes.

Li Laoer originally wanted to keep some of the remaining pots, but the two final peonies had not been taken out yet, so he decided not to keep them either.

The distinguished guests "divided" all the remaining famous flowers and promised to deliver them the next day.

 In the end, the total amount of food exceeded a thousand tons, more than a dozen carts of medicinal materials, and nearly a thousand taels of silver!

The first day of Baiyuan Garden’s opening was a big hit and very successful!

Li Laoer smiled happily and said to everyone: "Every distinguished guest has brought the flowers back. If there is any problem with the flowers in the future, just send them back to Baiyuan Garden, and our gardeners here will help diagnose and treat them without any charge."

“In addition, there are two pots of famous peonies, which will be in full bloom in three to five days. If you have time, you can come over to enjoy the flowers and drink tea.”

Everyone was happy to hear that Baiyuan Garden’s after-sales service was excellent.

However, there are two pots of famous peonies. What famous ones are they?

Everyone asked, but Li Laoer smiled mysteriously and kept it secret...
