Chapter 169 Isa's plight
Chapter 169 Isa's Dilemma
"A big...conceive?" Ye Weini looked at Ling Xiao gently with a smile in her eyes, and said with a crisp voice: "Can it be, go hunting monsters and make money, right?"
Ling Xiao chuckled and shook his head. What he had was the ability to avoid monsters, not the ability to hunt monsters. Therefore, if you want to rely on hunting monsters to get crystal cores in exchange for gold coins, you can only listen to it as a joke.
"You should still remember the beauty pills that Isa asked me to sell, right?"
Ling Xiao said with his eyes shiny: "On the day of the Blast Lion King Carnival, Isa offered one to the queen, and the queen took it on the spot. After an hour, she took a shower and changed clothes, almost shocking everyone present!"
"If you don't say it, I almost forgot that we have this channel to make money."
Ye Weini smiled sweetly. Of course she knew about this. She had read Isa's letter. From the words on the letter, Isa's excitement was seen, and the success even exceeded everyone's imagination!
Time is back on the day of the Blasting Lion King Carnival, Blue Moon Capital, and Yalan's Palace.
His Majesty the King first disbelief of his wife, then surprised... and then ecstatic! He said bluntly that this was the best gift he received on Carnival!
Nothing makes the old king happier than watching his wife restore her youthful and beautiful face!
Therefore, with this pill, Isha was immediately granted the title of a hereditary baron! And promised that if Isha had a son in the future, both men and women could inherit the title of a noble!
There are not none of female nobles in the empire, but very few! And there have been no new female nobles in decades! Isa was actually granted the title of His Majesty the King's personal title with this superb elixir. Some people even compared her with Ling Xiao, who was very lucky a while ago!
And speaking of it, Isha's luck is as three points better than Ling Xiao!
Because Isa's family... is a traditional business tyrant. The identity and status of a businessman have always seemed very awkward. It is difficult to get the title of a noble! This is the strict law of the aristocratic circle. No matter how much money you have, it is a nouveau riche in the eyes of aristocrats. In terms of social status, a baron without fiefdom, no real power, and no wealth is much better than those merchants with huge wealth and countless wealth!
Not everyone is qualified to be a nobleman.
Leaving the status Isa gained, this beauty pill, which was called "magic medicine" by His Majesty the King, received strong attention from all the nobles who were qualified to be close to the king that day! Because Isa said it personally, after three days, she accepted the reservation and only sold fifty pieces per month!
For a moment, the princes and nobles went crazy, and Isha's family was instantly watched by all forces. From being famous only in the business circle, but never being looked at by the nobles, to being now even the first-class dukes would come to visit them in person, and their words were extremely polite. Only the parties involved could appreciate the gap.
Isa's family was also successfully promoted to the aristocratic class with a girl!
Immediately, Isa issued an announcement that a 50,000 gold coin for the beauty pill! Moreover, no matter who it is, if you want to buy it, you must pay directly!
Fifty thousand gold coins per, which is definitely a sky-high price for this consumable pill, but this price is simply a slight silence for those almost crazy noble ladies. There are even super rich nobles who shouted that those with higher prices will be rewarded. Then the outside world fought a war of verbalism and directly sold the price of the beauty pill to 200,000 yuan per pill!
Faced with this situation, Isa was also somewhat underexpected, although she issued an announcement through her family again that this pill must be taken once every six months to achieve the effect of maintaining youth.
But nobility ladies who have lost their minds do not care how long this pill will take? What men care about the most is power, so as long as they hold power, even if their temples are gray and their faces are full of gullies, they will not care! But women are different. If there is a pill that can keep them young forever, let alone 50,000 gold coins per, even 500,000 gold coins per! Someone will definitely pay for it!
There are many poor people in this world, but there are more rich people in this world!
The wealth accumulated by those super wealthy families after thousands of years of development is unimaginable!
Faced with this situation, another wealthy family in the Blue Moon Empire, the Huangpu family, directly came to Isa's family. Isa's full name is Isabella Gandalf, so Isa's family is the Gandalf family. The two families are both competitors and partners in the business field, and their relationship has been very good over the years. Faced with this colleague who suddenly became aristocratic, Huangpu Cangran, the contemporary patriarch of the Huangpu family, was envious and proposed the intention of cooperation.
Mosie Gandalf, Isa's grandfather, said that he could not make decisions, and this matter required his granddaughter to nod. Isa felt that using the huge influence of the Huangpu family auction house can not only auction the beauty pill at a higher price, but also spread the influence to the wealthy business class!
In fact, it is like the Huangpu family, like Xie Xiaoyan's Xie family... there are many wealthy businessmen. Although their status is different from that of the nobles, their financial resources are definitely considered rich and comparable to that of the country!
How can such a good thing be sold only to aristocrats? So Isa happily agreed to Huangpu Cangran's request, who came to discuss the matter in person.
It is promised that fifty pills will be handed over to the auction house every month! They will be fully responsible for the auction of the beauty pill!
As for the handling fee... When we came, at the family meeting chaired by Huangpu Cangran, we passed the resolution without charge for no handling fee!
Just kidding, with such unprecedented opportunities to promote the family, even if they are willing to pay for money, they will be willing to pay for it. How can they still ask for money?
So, in the letter, Isa told Ling Xiao humorously that this matter was actually two big families serving Ling Xiao alone!
That's right, the two families only gained fame and fortune... all of them were obtained by Ling Xiao alone.
Because Isa had long said that it would be enough to rely on this to firmly grasp the identity of the first heir of the family. As for money, what was she going to do? What's more, that person... is the person she likes!
In January 1454, the Huangpu family auction house opened again to welcome guests. The auction house located in the imperial capital was once again full! Even tickets were hard to come! People living nearby opened their eyes again. Countless nobles who could not see any people on weekdays flocked to the surrounding countries, and even... and the nobles from surrounding countries, somehow, also received news and flocked to the Blue Moon imperial capital Yalan.
While the Huangpu family gained fame, it was also equivalent to taking over the pressures that originally belonged to the Gandalf family. They looked for Huangpu Cangran every day. At the beginning, even if they met a baron, Huangpu Cangran personally welcomed and maintained etiquette. Later, even if they were a marquis, they would have to make an appointment in advance if they wanted to meet this "lowly" businessman, and there were no more than a thousand dukes of all levels in the huge Blue Moon Empire! Not to mention that there were kings and princes above the duke! People in the royal family... Everyone wants to use their privileges to buy this top-quality pill first.
The huge purchasing pressure also made Huangpu Cangran find Isa again, hoping that Isa can take out some more pills and hold an auction!
However, Isa rejected it, a truth that everyone understands - the higher the price will be!
Do you still need to understand this with your brain? Those nobles who found the Huangpu family just took it for granted that they must have a lot of this top-quality elixir! And for this, they raised the price with the rich, and finally they could only afford the owners of the elixir!
A nobleman is rich, but he doesn’t mean he will spend money indiscriminately. Although those who want elixirs are not rational, the people who pay for it are still very rational.
Huangpu Cangran finally had no choice but to modify the rules again. This has never happened in the history of the Huangpu family's auction. The rules stipulate that half of the fifty pills can be auctioned by aristocrats, and the other half... can be as good as you!
Then no one saw him! Now, it was finally clearer. Although the wealthy businessmen were dissatisfied with the Huangpu family's behavior, they could only express their understanding. After all, the nobles are the real masters of this country. If they really angered them, all the merchants will be unlucky! Although the people in the aristocratic class were still a little dissatisfied, they also knew that this was the best result! Many business families themselves were supported by the great nobles.
There is more a relationship of dependence between merchants and nobles than an opposition.
The Huangpu family also used all the power of the family's advanced warriors to protect these pills.
Even the four high-level warrior bodyguards who have been in the south have been drawn back two of them!
I didn't know that the owner of the pill was Huang Puyue of Ling Xiao, and she complained in front of Ye Zi and Ling Xiao, saying that the owner of the pill was too dark and that the beauty pill that could only be maintained for half a year was sold so expensive! Otherwise, she would have to take it for a long time.
Ye Zi laughed and said with a smile that you want to marry the Lord, maybe you can take it for a long time.
Huang Puyue rolled her eyes on the spot and said that you lord only needs a lot of money and are now a pauper. Besides, there are enough women around him, so I won’t join in the fun with you! Obviously, Huang Puyue also regards Fengling, who still lives in the Viscount Mansion, as Ling Xiao’s woman.
At the first auction, fifty pills were sold for a total of more than 13 million yuan!
It can be said that it is the largest single auction amount in the history of the Huangpu family! It has achieved unprecedented success!
Because the amount is huge, Isa's letter said that she hoped to hand it over to Ling Xiao himself. In fact, it was just an excuse for her to see Ling Xiao.
Therefore, Ling Xiao was not too worried about the funds needed to build the city. What he was thinking in his heart was how to prevent others from doubting that he had such a huge amount of gold coins!
Speaking of which, there are not many people who can doubt themselves! Although he has not been in the Imperial Academy for too long, he has a good relationship with Isa, which is something that everyone knows. After opening up the heavenly veins, his strength has been greatly improved. At the same time, the women around him are all beautiful!
In addition to Ling Xiao's mother, Mrs. Ling, the huge change on her face... It is difficult for others to not doubt the source of the elixir in Isa's hand has a huge relationship with Ling Xiao!
What's more, the poisons that were caused by the old Marshal Qiu Chen and His Majesty the King were all solved by themselves, so these two... may think of Ling Xiao at the first time!
It’s no big deal to be known to others. The problem is that I’m afraid that someone is interested in me!
Therefore, Ling Xiao had the urgent desire to improve his strength as soon as possible for the first time!
But Ling Xiao didn't know that at this time, all the senior officials of the Isha family, who were thousands of miles away, were fiercely arguing about a problem! He besieged a girl with red faces.
The girl looked peaceful and sat quietly beside an old man, with a faint grievance in her eyes.
"Class leader, tell me, is Isha doing this right? She personally gained endless benefits through the beauty pill. Hum, aristocrat...a title, ha, what a wonderful thing? It seems that our family has become nobles, but in a few years, Isha... will eventually get married, right? That noble title will be taken away by her! At that time, our Gandalf family will not get a penny of money, no name, no such thing, which is unfair! I ask that at least half of this money will be intercepted!"
An old man in his fifties stared at his smart eyes and said excitedly. This man is the eldest elder of the Isha family, Molin, and Isha's grandfather. On weekdays, he often quarreled with the patriarch Moxi due to some problems such as heirs. This time, this elder, who is second only to the patriarch in the family, took the lead in firing!
When he said this, someone immediately followed suit.
A middle-aged man with white faceless face in his forties echoed, echoed: "Yes, Isha is young and doesn't know if she is used by others. How can such a good thing happen? He didn't show up himself, but he made us a good bird! How much pressure did our family bear? He didn't even get a copper plate! And... the most important point, until now, I don't even know who the person who provided the pills! Do you think this is reasonable? Why do you want to serve others for nothing?"
"Yes, Isa, who is that person? Remember! You are flowing with the blood of the Gandalf family! You are still the Gandalf family... the future heir!" The Great Elder said, "The Stars Flying, slapped the table and shouted.
"Great Elder." Isa said slowly, "Since you know that I am the future heir of the family, you should know that even if you want to get married, I will not leave the family!" When I said this, Isa's heart suddenly hurt. Brother Ling Xiao, Isa... can't be with you all the time, it's really... so painful!
"The title belongs to me personally, that's right." Isa looked calm and looked at the elder coldly: "But what benefited is the entire Gandalf family. Whether you want to admit it or not, this is a fact that cannot be changed! The Gandalf family is now a nobleman! It will not marry others with me, and you are not a nobleman. So, from this point of view, everyone in the family has already obtained unimaginable benefits! A noble title has been won by the family that the family has won for hundreds of years, even if... it is a title of a jazz! I don't think I need to say more about this."
"Hmph, you said it nicely! What about the money? More than one thousand million gold coins! Why can't the family get a penny? You also said that you belong to the family! Then, the money you get belongs to the family! You said that you promised to provide the elixir and give him all the gold coins, ha, who believes it? I don't believe it anyway!"
Another middle-aged man in his forties said with a sarcastic look on his face. This man's name is Moka, one of the thirteen elders of the Gandalf family. Although he is not old, he is of the same generation as Mosey and Molin! Therefore, he also has a great say in the family!
Isa's eyes scanned the various expressions of more than 30 people in the entire conference room, and their hearts were tingling. They knew in their hearts what the truth was, but they were still so shamelessly forcing me to tell me who was providing the pills, and trying hard to make the money. Because... every year the family's rooms have to be paid dividends.
Isa's eyes fell on the face of a handsome middle-aged man. The middle-aged man looked ashamed at this moment, avoiding Isa's gaze and not daring to look at her.
This person is Isa's father, Raymond Gandalf, who is famously incompetent in the family. As the eldest son of the eldest son, Raymond is not even an elder. Otherwise, why would the Moxi patriarch be so old and still be in power? If his son had the ability, he would have passed the position of patriarch long ago.
Facing his daughter being besieged by many people, Raymond, who was cowardly by nature, didn't even have the courage to argue for his daughter. Although he was already angry and had a lot to say, he... just couldn't say it.
Isa sighed with disappointment, and did not look at her father, whose face turned red. No matter what, it was her father after all. No matter how disappointed she felt, Isa would not be willing to blame her father too much. She just looked at her father, but she subconsciously hoped that someone could say a few words for her.
After sorting out his own mood, Isa said: "The family has been under a certain amount of pressure, I admit this..."
"What else do you say after admitting it? Just say how much compensation you can do?" A young man in his twenties looks very handsome, with a domineering expression. He is the grandson of the Great Elder Morin, Osido, who has just graduated from Imperial Academy for more than a year and is now in the family. His abilities can only be said to be average. The key is that he has a grandfather who favors him.
The young man was successful and came from a wealthy family. His temperament naturally seemed very ostentatious. Osido always felt that he should be the first heir of the family. Why was it that stinky girl Isabella? Is it because she is the direct descendant? Is it because she has always been dissatisfied in her heart. Now this dissatisfaction has turned into jealousy. He is the same as most people. He believes that the person who provides the elixir to Isa is only because Isa is the heir of the family. If someone else becomes the heir of the family, he will still get the elixir!
This is the essential reason for their trouble!
Fame and fortune are things that people in the secular world pursue throughout their lives, and few people can escape the shackles of these two words.
Isa glanced at the young man lightly and said, "Osido, don't you think you are not qualified to speak?"
"You...you..." Osido never expected that in just over half a year, the low-key and shy girl who was not valued by him would have such a change. Although she was questioned by almost everyone, she could still keep her calm and her words so sharp! She was so angry that she couldn't speak.
But Isa ignored him and argued: "The pressure the family has to bear is more of grandpa and me. As for you, how much can you bear? The title of a noble has all been overcome. Now the pressure belongs to the Huangpu family, what does it have to do with you? This matter can be said to be me alone, which has brought great benefits to the family. You... don't say it, but you are not grateful, but you are so kind to me, and I won't tell you. Now, I will only ask the patriarch for one word, and he will make a judgment!"
Isa said, and a layer of mist was finally covered in her eyes. Although the little girl knew that the family dispute was cruel, she could not have thought that it would be so cruel. If it weren't for her obtaining the beauty pill, it would have been a long time before she could understand these things.
Moxi also had a headache. Although he was the patriarch in his family, he could not ignore the opposition of all the elders. After all, he also belonged to the Gandalf family. He felt that those who opposed Isha had nothing but two things: one was the right to know, and the other was the sharing of interests.
First, even Moxi himself was very curious about who this precious granddaughter got this magical pill from! Although many people doubt Ling Xiao, no wise person would trust such unfounded things. Therefore, Moxi felt that even if he said it, it was nothing, and it was not the one who could issue a ban. If anyone dared to say it regardless of the interests of the family, he would expel him from the family forever!
Even if the person who provides elixirs has requirements for this, it should be due to his own safety. However, in the same way, human greed is endless, so even Moxi himself hopes to take that person in his hands and serve the Gandalf family forever in the future.
However, he loved his granddaughter after all, and weighed the pros and cons, Moxi said.
"Isa has the right not to say who that person is! I think you would do the same if you were to think about it! No matter what aspect you think about it, you don't know this person, it's better than knowing it!"
The person below was about to make a noise, but Moxi glanced over with sharp eyes, but the next words made the smile that Isha had just revealed froze on her face.
"However, I think the benefits obtained from the auction of this medicinal material... should be at least half of our family!"
Chapter completed!
