Chapter 429 Why doesn't he have such amazing superpowers?
Gu Qingyue immediately sat up straight. She had made up her mind to take over Feng's brine well!
However, after the organizers finished explaining the rules, Gu Qingyue realized that she had been too happy for too long.
According to the rules here, this auction is not an open auction. Instead, after the organizer introduces the situation of the brine well, those who are willing to bid will first make their bids secretly and hand over their slips of paper to the organizer.
Then, all bidders will be invited to conduct an on-site inspection to ensure that the quality of the brine wells matches the description.
After the inspection is completed, another price will be offered on the spot. Finally, the highest bidder wins, and a sales contract will be signed on the spot to complete the transaction.
The reason for doing this is to prevent those who didn't win the bid on the day of the auction from causing trouble or tampering with the auction.
If the brine well is contaminated or otherwise damaged before the handover, the person who won the bid will suffer a huge loss.
They have to ensure that the brine well is in good condition when it is delivered to the buyer.
It's understandable, since brine wells aren't something that can be delivered on the spot; there are many aspects involved, and this arrangement helps protect the buyer's interests.
I didn't expect the organizers to be so shrewd. They're quite clever.
Gu Qingyue fanned herself with her fan, rubbing her hands together in anticipation, ready to unleash her full potential.
She hadn't originally planned to go into this business, but didn't she just happen to be in this situation?
The first item up for auction was, as expected, the Feng family's brine wells, a total of twenty wells. Essentially, it could be said that the Feng family was putting up most of their brine wells for sale.
Gu Qingyue excitedly gripped the fan in her hand, staring intently at the people on the stage.
She began to take stock of her existing assets...
The next night.
Gu Qingyue, clutching the transfer document for Feng's business, squatted not far from the back door of the Feng family's residence, her brows furrowed, her expression shifting wildly—it was quite bizarre.
Gu Yuanen squatted down beside her, watching her raise an eyebrow, then smile, then remain expressionless, and he was utterly astonished!
Didn't my little sister get those twenty brine wells from Feng's shop?
Why are they squatting here for so long in the middle of the night, not moving at all? What are they doing at the Feng family's house?
Could it be that you regret it?
Don't want it anymore?
Gu Yuanen turned his head and couldn't help but look at the big mole on Gu Qingyue's chin, feeling a sharp pain in his eyes.
What a fine young lady! Why does she have to act like a spoiled brat? And if she has to act like one, why does she have to make herself look ugly?!
"Little sister? Yue'er?" Gu Yuanen asked tentatively from the side.
Gu Qingyue remained motionless.
Gu Yuanen awkwardly shut his mouth, knowing that his sister must have heard something important again.
Ever since he learned that his younger sister could hear sounds from a radius of 100 meters, he felt like his brain had gone numb. Where did his little sister come from?
They are siblings from the same mother, so why doesn't he have such amazing superpowers?
Thinking about all sorts of things, Gu Yuanen stopped bothering Gu Qingyue.
At this moment, Gu Qingyue's shock was beyond words.
At this moment, her mind was racing with a thousand thoughts.
She originally planned to visit the Feng family with the land deed in hand, so as to learn more about the mining situation of those brine wells.
After all, only a man who looked like a butler appeared when the contract was signed this morning. Although he carried Old Master Feng's seal, Gu Qingyue still wanted to ask about the situation.
She's never run these kinds of businesses before, so it would be good for her to learn from their experience.
After all, she not only bought the brine wells, but also some of the experienced workers at the Feng family's brine salt field.
With more than thirty people suddenly added, Gu Qingyue really had to put in some effort.
So, after dinner, she dragged Gu Yuanen along and decided to come over for a visit.
Originally, I wanted to use my spiritual power to check on the Feng family's situation and see if the old man was around.
Unexpectedly, I witnessed this scene.
Inside the Feng family study.
An old man dressed in a soft cotton robe was talking to a boy.
The old man looked sprightly, with gray hair and a neatly combed beard, and was looking seriously at the boy in front of him.
The boy had his head down. He looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old. He was tall and had a rather masculine appearance. He didn't look like the descendant of a merchant family at all; instead, he seemed to have a bit of a chivalrous spirit about him.
However, he looked a little dejected at this moment.
"Xiao Yan, you're seventeen now. From now on, it's up to you which way you want to go," the old man said in a serious tone, but you could tell that he was very kind.
The boy nodded, raising his bright eyes. "Grandpa, I don't want to leave. You can sell all the brine wells, and from now on, our Feng family..."
"Grandpa wants to rest. Money can never be earned enough. I don't have many years left to live. What do I need so much money for?!"
The moment my benefactor rescued me from the edge of the cliff, I decided I would follow him for life. But later…
Grandpa has put aside his work and wants to go to the capital to fulfill his wish.
The old man spoke in a low, melancholic tone, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a hint of regret and helplessness.
"What about Vice Pavilion Master Naru..." the young man hesitated, then stopped.
"Shut up, it's Grandpa Lu!"
The old man's voice became more serious, showing some displeasure at his grandson addressing him as "pavilion master."
"Yes, Xiaoyan was wrong, it was Grandpa Lu," the boy pursed his lips. "Grandpa Lu's health is getting worse and worse, does Grandpa have any ideas?"
The old man waved his hand, gesturing for him to sit down. "I went to Medicine Valley to look for Elder Wen, but he went out to gather herbs and hasn't found them yet. Without the token, we can't ask the elders of Medicine Valley to help us."
As he spoke, the old man lowered his voice.
The boy quickly comforted him, "Grandpa Lu is a lucky man, he'll be alright. Once Grandpa Lu recovers, I'll take you all to the capital to find the old Duke."
Gu Qingyue, who was squatting in the alley, deepened her gaze. Why did that sound so familiar?
The Deputy Pavilion Master, Yaogu, Elder Wen, and the Old Duke are all very familiar names.
Her thoughts were racing at that moment.
In the study, the old man stood up, pressed a button on the bookshelf, and a dark entrance immediately appeared next to him.
It's a dark room!
The boy named Xiaoyan watched the old man's movements but did not move; he simply waited quietly.
Just then, outside the back door, Gu Qingyue suddenly stood up, swiftly leaped into the Feng family's courtyard.
Without any hesitation, they flew towards the old man's study.
Gu Yuanen, not understanding why, followed closely.
In the study.
The old man came out carrying a black box.
The box is about the size of a palm and looks very delicate.
He walked up to the boy, placed the box on the small table next to him, and said in a low voice, "Take this and go to Medicine Valley again to find Elder Wen."
If Elder Wen hasn't returned yet, go to Medicine Valley Mountain and find a pharmacy worker named Du Zhengyi, and show him this!
We hope he can help us get Elder Yaogu to intervene.
"Grandpa! Can we show this to just anyone?"
The boy stared at the old man in disbelief. He never imagined that his grandfather would bring out the most important token of the Feng family.
