Dahan: A 100-year-old veteran, I will build the strongest family

Chapter 5: Seizing Madam Bian, Part
The hall of Lake Center Pavilion was packed with dignitaries. They were dazzled by the ten beautiful women with different temperaments on the stage, and there was a fiery light in their eyes.

Especially Bian Yuer who was standing in the middle, made everyone feel amazed.

Although Li Hong has lived for a hundred years and has seen all kinds of storms, he was still moved at this moment.

I am amazed by Bian Yuer's beauty.

I was also shocked by the appearance of golden entries on the other side.

After all, he had an orange centenary entry that allowed him to live so long.

You know, there are red terms above the orange terms, and then there are gold terms.

You can imagine how powerful the golden entries will be.

How exciting.

"It was before the Yellow Turban Rebellion. This Bian Yu'er was born in a brothel. She is so beautiful, and has a golden entry for the body of a queen, which is about fertility. Could it be that this Bian Yu'er is Cao Cao's wife, Empress Wuxuan Bian?"

Below the stage, Li Hong stared at the dignified, graceful, and extremely beautiful Bian Yuer with a burning gaze, and secretly thought of something in his heart.

Yes, Li Hong immediately made a judgment in his heart that this Bian Yuer was most likely the wife of Cao Cao in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, Madam Bian.

It was Lady Bian who gave birth to Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi and Cao Xiong for Cao Cao.

"If this Bian Yu'er is Madam Bian, then this golden entry is really very appropriate. After all, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi are all very outstanding."

Li Hong's eyes sparkled, he felt certain in his heart, and his gaze towards Bian Yuer became warmer.

In history, Madam Bian was Cao Cao's virtuous wife. Who wouldn't be attracted to such a woman?
"What a beautiful courtesan! She is worthy of being cultivated vigorously by Huxin Pavilion in recent years. This Bian Yu'er has caught my eye!"

An excited voice suddenly rang out, quite abruptly.

Everyone looked at the scene and saw that the person who spoke was Yuan Shu, who was sitting in the middle of the first row.

Yuan Shu spoke and everyone fell silent.

Some people knew they didn't dare to snatch people from Yuan Shu, and they couldn't help showing regret and helplessness on their faces. They could only focus their eyes on Bian Yu'er again and enjoy the sight.

However, some dignitaries did not dare to have any improper thoughts after hearing what Yuan Shu said, but some people were not afraid of Yuan Shu.

"This Bian Yu'er, I have also taken a fancy to her. It just so happens that I am in need of a servant." Yuan Shao spoke with a deep and resounding voice, expressing his attitude and attracting the attention of all the guests.

"To be honest with you two brothers, Cao Cao took a liking to Bian Yu'er the moment they met. You two brothers cannot take away Cao's old acquaintance."

Another voice rang out.

Although Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were sitting together, they immediately became confrontational.

When it comes to fighting for women, brothers may not be of much use.

Li Hong saw it clearly. At this moment, Cao Cao's eyes were glowing green when he looked at Bian Yu'er.

"Madam, why don't you get to the point quickly? What are you dawdling about for?" Cao Cao shouted at the madam, seeming a little impatient.

Cao Cao reacted strongly.

Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao both frowned and looked at each other, but they both saw each other's familiar attitudes.

Brothers can do it, but women must not give in.

Whoever grabs it gets to eat the meat.

"Oh, Mr. Cao is so anxious. Then, ladies, why don't you say hello to the gentlemen who came to support us today." The madam had a happy smile on her face and said to the ten girls with a sweet giggle.

"Lian'er greets all the gentlemen!"

"Ping'er greets all the gentlemen!"

Ten beautiful and charming girls, one after another, saluted with smiling faces to the dignitaries below.

Li Hong saw clearly that when these ten girls introduced themselves, most of them cast their gazes on the first row, with clear expectation in their eyes.

Seeing this, Li Hong also understood why.

Who doesn’t want to marry into a wealthy family and enjoy wealth and glory?

These beauties with beautiful appearance are willing to accept the training of Huxin Pavilion. They just want to enter the real aristocratic families through Huxin Pavilion.

"It can be seen that all the gentlemen and masters are very fond of the girls who will be married off this year in Huxin Pavilion, and they can't wait. The madam is not going to waste time. Huxin Pavilion has also spent a lot of resources to train these girls. If any of the gentlemen want to invite any girl to marry, they still need to pay enough marriage fees."

The madam stood in front of the girls with a smile on her face. She grabbed a tall and beautiful girl and waved her hand to let the other girls go down.

"This is Qing'er. This year's wedding fee is 8,500 coins. I wonder if any of you gentlemen are interested. According to the old rules, the one with the highest price can be the bridegroom!"

The madam smiled and said to everyone.

After the madam finished speaking, the hall fell silent again.

Some people who came purely to watch the fun could not help but be secretly shocked at how expensive the cost of getting married was.

After all, one stone of grain only costs thirty coins now, which is enough for one person to eat for one or two months.

Eight thousand five hundred coins are enough to buy almost three hundred dan of grain.

Most people really can't afford this.

The key is that this is still the lowest bidding fee.

"Eight thousand six hundred coins!"

Sure enough, just as the madam finished her words, a high-pitched voice came from the third row, causing everyone to look in unison, only to see that the person who spoke was a graceful and elegant young fat man.

The madam was delighted and said with a smile, "Young Master Zhang offered 8,600 yuan. Is there any higher price?"

"Hehe, eight thousand six hundred coins, and you also want to take the girl away from Huxin Pavilion. My Luoyang Wang family will pay nine thousand coins for Miss Qing'er's wedding fee!" Another voice sounded, but it was the voice from the back of the second row.

Li Li looked over and said excitedly to Li Hong beside him:
"Grandfather, this is the Wang family of Luoyang. His father, Wang Gui, is a subordinate of the Grand Commandant, the Eastern Cao, and is also quite powerful."

Li Hong nodded when he heard this, but did not say anything.

The attribute panel of the girl led by the madam is Yang Qing'er, with a beauty of 82 and a comprehensive score of 73. A woman with this score is also considered good.

However, Li Hong had no plans to make a move for the time being. Although the Li family was not short of money, even if they took all ten girls home, it would not be a drop in the bucket for the Li family. However, the Li family did not have a strong backing.

Others gave him face only because of his contributions to the Han Dynasty in his early years. If he took all of them, he would offend too many people and be too ostentatious, which might lead to disaster. After all, most of the high officials and nobles in Luoyang came to the wedding day of the Huxin Pavilion. Therefore, Li Hong decided not to take all of them, but only to take the ones with the highest quality.

"I am Yang Ming from the Yang family, and I am willing to pay Miss Qing'er 10,000 yuan for her wedding fee!"

A young man in the first row, dressed in gorgeous clothes, suddenly spoke, causing the hall to fall silent immediately.

"Grandfather, this Yang Ming is the youngest son of Yang Ci of the Hongnong Yang family. Yang Ci just took over Xu Jian's position as the Grand Commandant of the Three Dukes this year. The Hongnong Yang family has had three dukes for four generations, which is not inferior to the Yuan family. I'm afraid many people don't dare to bid!"

Li Li hurriedly explained to Li Hong in a low voice.

Li Hong glanced at Yang Ming, whose expression was full of arrogance, and nodded.

The position of Taiwei was one of high power and authority, possessing almost one-third of the power of the prime minister.

Sure enough, after Yang Ming of the Yang family spoke up, many dignitaries, despite having plenty of money in their pockets, hesitated for a moment, and gave up with a helpless expression on their faces.

However, those who are also sitting in the first row will not choose to give in.

Not to mention that the difference in their status is not that great.

Even if they were jealous of women, it was only something that happened to the second generation. It was generally impossible for the current general to take action against the younger generation because of this.

Several young men from aristocratic families sitting in the front row were fighting for it.

Yang Qing'er's wedding expenses were directly raised to a staggering 21,000 coins.

In the end, it was bought by Yang Ming, the youngest son of the Yang family, who looked unhappy. It hurt him to spend 21,000 yuan to get a woman.

Of course, Yang Ming also liked Bian Yu'er very much, but after knowing that Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were all determined to get Bian Yu'er, he decided to give up.

The Yang family and the Yuan family are both aristocratic families with three generations of dukes, and are the top families in the Han Dynasty.

However, he was only the youngest son in the Yang family, and his status could not compare to Yuan Shu, the legitimate son of the Yuan family. Even though Yuan Shao was a bastard's son, he was cultivated vigorously by the Yuan family, but he was still not comparable to him.

Therefore, we can only settle for the next best thing.

The madam's face was full of joy, and she said with a smile: "Young Master Yang offered 21,000 coins. Is there any higher offer? If not, Miss Qing'er will go with Young Master Yang."

One girl was exchanged for more than 20,000 yuan, which made the brothel owner very happy. After all, Qing'er was not bad, but not the best.

After saying this for a while, the madam stopped hesitating and said with a smile:

"Congratulations! Young Master Yang invites Miss Qing'er to marry!"

With this, the first of the ten girls trained in Huxin Pavilion got married.

Many dignitaries could not help but envy Yang Ming. Although he had a lot of money, he finally got the beauty.

There are so many people at the scene, ten girls, it would be enviable enough to be able to hug one of them.

Yang Ming also smiled.

"Next, it's Miss Chan'er. Miss Chan'er, my Huxin Pavilion has also spent a lot of effort. This year's marriage fee is 10,000 yuan. I wonder if any of you gentlemen are interested. The one with the highest price can marry you!"

The madam smiled and pulled out another charming woman, saying with a smile.

"My Xu family offers 110000 yuan!"

"My Liu family offers 11,000 yuan!"

……

The constant shouting of prices made the hall noisy. Although Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who were sitting in the front row, were tempted, they did not act rashly.

Although these beauties are good, it depends on who you compare them with.

Bian Yuer is obviously a level better in terms of appearance, figure and temperament.

They all wanted to fight for Bian Yuer with all their might.

"What is this old man Li doing here today? These girls are all pretty, why doesn't he take action? Or is he here just to watch the fun?" Cao Cao suddenly said to Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao beside him.

Because he had raised money and made preparations in advance, Cao Cao did not feel that Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao posed much of a threat.

However, the only thing that made Cao Cao feel uneasy was the sudden appearance of Li Hong.

The Li family is not short of money. If Li Hong takes action, won’t it be the end of them?

However, when Cao Cao saw that two girls were photographed in a row and Li Hong did not take any action, Cao Cao felt a little lucky again.

When Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao heard what Cao Cao said, they turned around and looked at Li Hong who was sitting steadily.

Yuan Shu immediately said disdainfully:

"You really believe what he says. He takes a concubine? He's already a hundred-year-old antique, and that thing must have been scrapped long ago. He bought it back just to satisfy his desire? And he's risking offending us?"

After Yuan Shu finished speaking, Yuan Shao on the side also said to Cao Cao:

"This old man from the Li family should be here to join in the fun, so don't worry about him. But Meng De, I heard that you prepared a lot of money. How much money did you prepare? Let me be mentally prepared!"

Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao's words made Cao Cao feel relieved temporarily.

Come to think of it, Li Hong is so old after all.

Cao Cao immediately laughed and said to Yuan Shao, "It is impossible for him to reveal how much money he has prepared."

Next, Miss Chan'er was also sold for more than 20,000 yuan, and then a girl named Xue Qing appeared.

However, Li Hong did not take any action but just watched the show quietly, which made Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao completely relieved.

Li Li, on the other hand, felt a little restless.

He knew that his great-grandfather came today just to prove that he was good at sex, so he had to take a picture.

There are already several of them, why don’t you take action? What are you waiting for?

Li Li couldn't help but look at the dazzling Bian Yuer in the distance, and his heart couldn't help but rise.

This great grandfather, could it be that his target is Bian Yuer?

Li Li looked again and saw that Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and other top aristocratic families in Luoyang were all looking at Bian Yuer, and the feeling of uneasiness became stronger.

Soon, the third girl, Xue Qing, was auctioned off for 32,000 coins.

The madam once again pulled out a beautiful, tall and sweet girl.

Xiao Yue!

The minimum price for marriage is 20,000 five-zhu coins!

Li Hong's fingers moved slightly, but Li Hong remained as still as a mountain.

Soon, the bidding reached 46,000 Wuzhu coins.

This bid is already staggering.

This was a high price that was shouted out by the son of Taichang, one of the Nine Ministers, and almost no one followed suit.

"I, Li Hong of the Longxi Li family, offer 50,000 five-zhu coins to invite Yue'er to marry me!"

A powerful voice suddenly rang out.

All the dignitaries in the hall were stunned.

Who is this guy who actually raised the price directly from 46,000 to 55,000 baht? !
Everyone turned to look at the person who made the sound.

"General Li, why did he take action? Wasn't he just here to watch the fun?"

"General Li has actually taken action. General Li wants to marry Miss Yue'er?"

"This...this...this old general of the Li family can still play? I'm afraid he took this photo for the family's children? But that doesn't make sense. Even if you have money, you can't spend it like this! Did General Li really take this photo for himself?"

Seeing that it was Li Hong, a man with gray hair and a stroking beard, who took the photo, the hall was filled with noise.

The young master of the Taichang family, one of the Nine Ministers, was also stunned. When he came to his senses, his face instantly turned gloomy.

On the stage, Xiao Yue was staring blankly at Li Hong, who looked energetic but had gray hair.

The person who took the photo of her was actually an old man?
This this……

Xiao Yue's face turned red instantly.

Compared to the uproar in the hall, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao could no longer sit still.

"This old man from the Li family actually took action!"

"Aren't you being shameless? You're so old, but you're still fighting with young people for food?"

Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao looked unhappy and could not help but whisper.

Cao Cao's expression was also uncertain, and his inner uneasiness suddenly became stronger.

Li Hong actually came here to look for a woman! Would he not compete with me for Bian Yu'er?
