Chapter 1066: Giving Up, I'm Giving Up

After a brief silence, everyone let out a gasp.

So much gold...

No matter who it was, seeing it would make their eyes turn red with envy.

That Xie Kai, too, had his eyes widened in shock.

Good heavens, had he encountered someone even wealthier than himself?

He immediately grew anxious: "It seems, Your Excellency, that you are also a person of substance! Someone, come here!"

"Yes!"

Several attendants responded in unison.

The crowd of onlookers, seeing this scene, suddenly became excited. What was this? Showing off wealth?

Very quickly.

Several attendants had already carried a chest down from the horse carriage they had parked not far from the entrance.

At this, even Liu Zheng was left between laughter and tears.

Was it really necessary?

Wasn't it just a private room? He truly could not fathom the thoughts of these young masters.

In an occasion like this, was it necessary to compete for favor like this?

It was just a private room...

"Open it!"

Xie Kai, who looked every bit the typical spoiled second-generation heir, was so mocked that he was instantly driven into a fit of Transcendent rage.

The chest was opened.

For a moment, everyone watching could not help but gulp hard.

Good heavens!

A whole chest of gold, at least twenty bars...

This...

"One private room, how about it?"

Xie Kai gritted his teeth, no longer possessing his earlier relaxed composure. After saying this, he quickly looked at Manager Shen and chuckled: "I also want her to accompany me tonight!"

Gulp.

The people on the scene were all reacting this way. Because even in Jinghua, where nobles were everywhere, such a large-scale display of arrogance was still rare. Especially in the current Longyan Jinghua, many descendants of nobles who only held titles actually did not have much money; many were just puffing themselves up to look bigger than they were.

This gold!

It was enough to make them green with envy!

The scene suddenly became lively.

Even Liu Zheng and Jiang Xuan looked at each other in dismay.

With things having reached this point, what more could they say?

They began to wonder what the person upstairs would do...

After all, this gold was no small sum. Even Jiang Xuan could not help but gulp; this gold was enough to pay the annual salary for three thousand men of his Dark Night Legion.

The others were also waiting for the response from the person upstairs.

Who exactly was he?

Would he continue to hold his ground?

It seemed that Jinghua had been excessively lively these past few days.

"The Prince of Wu is indeed generous."

The mysterious person upstairs laughed heartily: "But with so many people watching, if I don't follow suit, it would be meaningless. Manager Shen, if I win, would you do me the honor of having a drink with me?"

The whole room was in an uproar.

Still continuing?

This was getting interesting!

Many people also looked simultaneously at the alluring Manager Shen.

Manager Shen's face turned pale, then red. Her beauty was undoubtedly top-tier here; even the young courtesans and flower girls of Fengming Tower felt inferior when compared to her. It was a crushing superiority of temperament, a mature beauty that required the passage of time to settle and was just beginning to ferment.

At this moment...

She did not know how to answer.

She was the manager of the Jinghua branch of Fengming Tower, so she had to do her utmost to maintain the stability of the place and its guests. Clearly, both of these guests were either wealthy or noble, and their statuses were highly unusual. Offending either one would mean she would be in deep trouble...

It was a dilemma.

Likewise.

This gold was also dazzling her eyes.

Because she knew that if she agreed, she would certainly get a share of this gold...

Who could refuse this?

But...

She still resisted the temptation before her, because she was a manager, not a brothel madam; she still knew her own status.

"Please forgive me, sir. My status is humble, and my appearance is plain, but I must attend to my duties and am not responsible for drinking with guests."

Manager Shen said, neither servile nor overbearing.

This made even Liu Zheng look at her with renewed interest.

Her actions undoubtedly brought honor to Fengming Tower.

"Good! Hahahaha!"

"Reward Manager Shen!"

The mysterious person on the second floor laughed boldly.

As soon as these words were spoken, those few servants came out carrying boxes as well, only, what they were carrying were large boxes!

Everyone's eyes could not help but stare fixedly.

The boxes arrived on the first floor.

Opened.

Twenty ingots of gold!

"Ah!"

Manager Shen could not help but let her delicate body tremble, her jade hand covering her mouth. With so much gold, who wouldn't like it?

"This..."

"My heavens..."

"Who on earth is this?"

The guests at this Fengming Tower were naturally all old hands of Jinghua. For a moment, there was much discussion; there were truly not many people who could suddenly bring out so much gold.

Liu Zheng was also somewhat puzzled.

Who exactly was this person?

To be willing to spend so much money today just to uphold the face of Fengming Tower?

This familiar voice...

He fell into deep thought, but he could not figure it out no matter what.

"You, you, you..."

Xie Kai was already exploding with anger. His complexion had turned black.

Preposterous!

Preposterous!

To think there was actually someone richer than him! He did not believe it! He was the Crown Prince of the entire Wudi! He had originally come to this place today to disgust Vice Minister Liu, but he never expected that before Vice Minister Liu had even shown his face, there would be such a person looking for trouble with him!

"Ah ah ah ah, bring more for me!"

"Bring them!"

He was so angry he could not go on.

The expressions of several attendants were not good, and they kept trying to persuade him.

"Crown Prince..."

"We..."

"Be careful about the Master's side..."

But this Xie Kai had always been arrogant and despotic in Wudi; no one dared to provoke him, and wherever he went, he looked at people with his nostrils! He never expected that coming to Jinghua this time, he would actually be humiliated in public!

"Bring them!"

"Bring them to me!"

Xie Kai was enraged.

The attendants were helpless and could only turn around and walk out to continue bringing more!

Forty of them!

Gold ingots, by the standards of the Longyan Dynasty, were twenty taels each...

Which meant, these were eight hundred gold!

Eight hundred jin!

Nearly fifty thousand taels of silver!

Just to show off!

Just for a private room!

Crazy!

These people were truly crazy!

Nowadays, the Tsarist Russia Army was invading Longyan, the flames of war were everywhere, and the pressure on national fiscal expenditure had doubled.

Yet these playboys were here competing for favor and jealousy; this was truly...

However, this was other people's money, and you had no Method.

The scene fell silent once again.

Eight hundred gold.

What would the big shot on the second floor say?

Things were starting to become more and more interesting.

Xie Kai also glared over.

In fact, he had no confidence in his heart at this moment...

... Eight hundred jin, nearly fifty thousand taels of silver, this was all the money he had now; if the other party matched it again, he was afraid he would have to slink out of here in disgrace.

It was just that.

He did not expect.

The movement on the second floor stopped for a moment.

"Boring, not playing anymore! Eight hundred jin, not bad, not bad. Manager Shen, you can have a drink with him!"

Everyone in the room had black lines on their faces.

What the hell?

As they spoke.

The private room on the second floor opened, and a young nobleman in white, holding an unfolded folding fan, walked out with a chuckle.

Liu Zheng and Jiang Xuan both could not help but exclaim in surprise.

"Yue Ru?"
