Chapter 690: Another Familiar Face

about it, her attention was all on Dong'er, always expecting the child to speak and call her "Grandma."Seeing this scene, Fang Jinshu put away her steps towards the hall and turned to tend to the herb...Fang Jinxiu was not afraid of Fu Ming's stalling.

She opened her mouth and whispered, “Ayu.”

Fu immediately jumped to the corner like a prickly hedgehog whose fur was on end, pointing at her in terror.

"Fang Jinxiu, are you not able to play"

"If we are capable, we won't bring in foreign aid!"

Damn it, Shen Li can't beat Zong Yu.

He will only be at a disadvantage against this woman!

"I'm the one who called for foreign aid. You can call for it too if you have the ability."

Fu Mingqi felt a knot in her chest. She must have done it on purpose, knowing that Shen Li couldn't defeat Zong Yu, so she was fearless and brazenly threatened him.

Alright, a real man can bend and stretch. It's just a small bet anyway.

Fu Ming unwillingly sat back and asked, "What do you want as a bet"

One hundred taels.

Just one hundred taels of silver

Fu Ming let out a sigh of relief, pulling out a silver note from his pocket and placing it before Fang Jinshi.

Here you go.

"This young master can afford to lose."

Anyway, she was bored anyway. The auction was so dull, Fang Jinshu just wanted to find some fun to pass the time.

Earning some extra money from Fu Ming isn't bad, it's better than nothing.

She smiled and took the silver note, handing it to Zong Yu beside her. Zong Yu deftly tucked the silver note into his pocket.

The couple's faces showed not a trace of embarrassment.

As if it were his right to take their money.

Fu Ming wanted to open his mouth and scold someone again.

Over the past twenty years of teaching, all my cultivation was completely gone when I met Fang Jinshui, this shameless and cunning woman.

The number of times I want to curse is on the rise.

"Young Master Fu."

"Shall we keep gambling"

"You've been laying a trap for me here" Fu Ming gritted his teeth and asked.

Fan Jinshui smiled sweetly, "No, I just think Mr. Fu has good eyesight. No matter what auction items are displayed on stage, you seem to know."

That's why I want to keep playing this game.

"So he's saying that Young Master Fu doesn't have confidence in himself and doesn't dare to continue gambling with me, this little woman"

Sometimes Fu Ming is so naive it's heartbreaking, and bullying tactics actually work on him.

"Who said this young master doesn't have confidence in himself!"

This young master is well-traveled and knowledgeable. With my keen eye, I can easily see if these shabby trinkets on stage will sell or not!

"Let's keep betting until the auction ends."

Fang Jinshi smiled with satisfaction, “Very good, very good. Fu Shao really is generous.”

At that time, Fu Ming hadn't reacted yet, why Fang Jinxiu said the word "atmosphere."

Soon after, he looked at the few silver notes left in his pocket and regretted it too late.

The auction house also seemed to realize that the first two auction items hadn't gone well and hadn't warmed up the crowd, so they brought out a very substantial item for the third one.

"A century-old top-grade Ganoderma lucidum."

The starting price is one thousand five hundred taels.

Good things don't need much introduction. As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, people below immediately started bidding and raising their signs.

This Reishi mushroom should be over five hundred years old. It's truly a rare find, after all, there aren't many medicinal herbs that are a thousand years old in the entire Daxixi.

A century-old one is already rare.

However, in just a short while, the price of lingzhi mushrooms had skyrocketed to six thousand taels. Fang Jinshu was somewhat astonished.

The bidding for the first two auction items was so lackluster that she underestimated the capabilities of these nobles and wealthy merchants.

"Lady Zong, we don't need to bet on this lingzhi item at the auction, do we"

Fang Jinxiu nodded.

"Hmm."

Fu Ming was a little curious, "Aren't you skilled in medicine With such good medicinal herbs right in front of you, Lady Zong remains unmoved"

He thought Fang Jinshu would bid on the lingzhi.

Little did she know, she suddenly turned her head and smiled, "I don't need to buy it."

Well

Fu Ming misunderstood the meaning of this sentence. He thought Fang Jinshu didn't need lingzhi, so there was no need to spend a lot of money to grab it.

Just as they were talking, the price of Lingzhi mushroom skyrocketed to over 10,000.

After tens of thousands of taels of silver, the bidding gradually slowed down.

"Ten thousand one hundred and two, is there anyone else who will bid"

"One thousand one hundred and two times."

"Twelve thousand two hundred taels." Another person from a private room called out.

Hearing this person's voice, Fang Jinshu frowned again and looked in that direction.

Not you again, another familiar facehat You're envious Then why haven't you done it yet Learn from others, curry favor early on. This time going up the mountain to clear land, we don't even know what kind of hard work awaits us, but the...
