If there was one person at the scene who didn't take the bidding seriously, it would be Zhou Mu.
Zhou Mu was looking at Gu Xiyan the whole time. At first he thought she was pretty and couldn't take his eyes away for a while. Later he discovered some details. Gu Xiyan would bid for every few dishes, and every time she arrived
Stop after a certain amount of money.
Whenever Gu Xiyan bids, Princess Baohe and Princess Yongjia will definitely compete with Gu Xiyan. Liu Huiyan sometimes interferes in the situation, but she is poor and not as wealthy as Princess Baohe and Princess Yongjia.
Gu Xiyan will stop after raising the price to a certain height. It seems that every time the result ends in Gu Xiyan's failure, but it can be seen that this girl is in a good mood.
At first, he also thought about helping Gu Xiyan return to Yicheng, but after careful observation, he found that Gu Xiyan's "loss" may not be a real loss.
If nothing unexpected happened, this girl clearly deliberately raised her bid.
She must have a close relationship with Wu Tong, otherwise she wouldn't have helped Jixianglou.
By the time the auction ended, it was already midnight.
Su Mei's eyebrows were filled with joy, and she wanted to share her joy with Gu Xiyan, but Zhou Mu came over, and she wisely gave up her seat: "Then I'll go back first?"
"Be careful on the way home." Gu Xiyan confessed softly, her almond-shaped eyes as gentle as water.
Su Mei felt that if she were a man, she would also be fascinated by Gu Xiyan.
"I don't mind, you should go back and rest early." Su Mei couldn't say many things in front of Zhou Mu, but she knew how busy Gu Xiyan was for this auction.
Gu Xiyan came up with all the dishes by herself, and she personally taught the chef how to make them. To be honest, she found it incredible that this food festival could be successfully held in such a short period of time.
Xu Yanqing looked at Gu Xiyan from a distance and did not dare to get close.
He was afraid that he would be too close to Gu Xiyan, and would not let him go, so he would do something to take something by force. He felt that it was really possible for him to do such a thing, so he stayed away from Gu Xiyan.
Princess Baohe saw Xu Yanqing's obsessed eyes and curled her lips with a sneer: "Gu Xiyan has already decided to get married, isn't Mr. Xu still thinking about her?"
While she was talking, Liu Junyan came over and glanced at Xu Yanqing with a pair of irregular eyes. She knew that Liu Junyan was fond of Xu Yanqing.
At that moment, she said to Liu Junyan: "Miss Liu San, it's better to like other men. Mr. Xu doesn't like you."
Liu Junyan knew that Princess Baohe also liked Xu Yanqing, so she replied lukewarmly: "Although your highness has a distinguished status, it is not your highness's turn to comment on Mr. Xu's marriage."
As long as His Majesty doesn't propose marriage between Bao and the princess, she will still have a chance.
Princess Baohe knew that Wan Qinghou was a close minister of her father. She had no thoughts about Liu Junyan before, but Liu Junyan's current attitude really made her uncomfortable.
The two of them said nothing to each other, refusing to give in to each other. By the time they recovered, Xu Yanqing had already left Jixiang Tower.
Su Mei left Jixiang Building and was about to get on the carriage to go home. Unexpectedly, Su Ho and Xu Yongqian came over. Su Ho stopped her and said, "Your Majesty Xu is sending me home, why don't you drop by to see my sister off?"
Su Mei glanced at her lightly, "No need!"
She lifted the curtain and got into the carriage, shielding their hypocritical faces from the carriage.
Su Ho didn't expect Su Mei to be so rude in front of Xu Yongqian. In the past, whenever Xu Yongqian was present, Su Mei would always hold her hand. Why is it completely different today?
"How could sister do this?" Su Ho laughed dryly.
Xu Yongqian looked at the direction in which Su Mei's carriage was leaving, and felt that his interest was waning: "Miss Su, go back by yourself, I want to go back too."
Without giving Su Ho a chance to speak, he got on the uncle's carriage and headed in the opposite direction to the Su's house.
Su Ho was so angry that he stamped his feet. In the past, Xu Yongqian was obedient to her orders, but today he was lukewarm to her. He didn't say a word to her the whole time, as if he was a different person.
While Su Ho was angry, Gu Xiyan and Zhou Mu walked downstairs together.
Zhou Mu's temperament is outstanding, like the white snow on the mountain, like the mist between the clouds, alienated and noble, which can only be seen from a distance. Pian Gu Xi's appearance is outstanding, dignified and virtuous, and standing next to Zhou Mu, he is not inferior at all.
The two of them stand together, and the picture is very eye-catching.
Su Ho's eyes flashed slightly, feeling that Gu Xiyan was really lucky.
In ancient times, women paid the most attention to honor and integrity. Gu Xiyan's reputation was ruined time and time again, but she was still granted marriage by Emperor Cheng De to an outstanding man like Zhou Mu.
As for her, she clearly has a talent, but she hasn't been able to use it yet.
Just like today's auction, she was originally the protagonist, but someone else took the lead. If she were to handle it, it would definitely be better and more sensational than this.
I don’t know who came up with the idea, but it actually made Jixianglou earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in one day.
At this moment, Su Ho had to admit that she was jealous of Wu Tong and had to find a way to find out who was behind Jixiang Tower.
She felt that Wu Tong was just a person doing things, not making decisions. If nothing unexpected happened, the boss behind Jixiang Building was the person she was looking for.
Gu Xiyan didn't even give her a look when she saw Su Ho.
She doesn't like Su Ho no matter how capable he is, just because Su Ho was the culprit who caused the displacement of people in his previous life. Such people have a dark heart.
She ignored Su Ho, but Su Ho walked up to her and said, "Miss Gu, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."
"Since you think it's inappropriate to say it, then you shouldn't say it." Gu Xiyan did not look directly at Su Ho.
Su Ho didn't expect Gu Xiyan to speak so straightforwardly, and the smile on her face almost couldn't hold back: "But I still want to remind Miss Gu that the four girls in the Liu family have deep prejudices against Miss Gu, and Miss Gu needs to prevent them from doing anything to her.
Black Hand."
Su Mei seems to have changed since she was rescued by Gu Xiyan. Zhou Mu seems to be very important to Emperor Cheng De. Instead of having another enemy, why not simply turn the enemy into a friend and let Zhou Mu be used by Zhou Xing?
?
So to win over Gu Xiyan is to win over Zhou Mu for Zhou Xing.
What she didn't know was that no one dared to tell anyone about some things that happened in Wanqinghou Mansion, that is, both Zhou Xing and Zhou Mu were trying to steal Gu Xiyan, and this matter was silenced by Emperor Cheng De.
Gu Xiyan looked at Su Ho with a half-smile but not a smile: "Miss Su San, you should take care of yourself. There is one in the bowl, and you are still looking at the one in the pot. Be careful that the bamboo basket will be empty in the end."
After saying that, she ignored Su Ho and got into the carriage with Zhou Mu's help.
Su Ho's expression was a bit unbearable. What Gu Xiyan said just now, didn't he mean that she was flirtatious and became Zhou Xing's woman, and she still dragged Xu Yongqian away?
She squeezed the handkerchief tightly and watched Gu Xiyan's carriage drive away with a gloomy expression.
Princess Yongjia also left Jixiang Tower at this time. She looked a little gloomy when she saw Zhou Mu helping Gu Xiyan.
Although she beat Gu Xiyan until she was unable to fight back during the bidding today, this could not cover up the fact that Gu Xiyan and Zhou Mu were engaged.
His Majesty had just granted marriage to these two people, and it was impossible to break the marriage. She had no choice but to ask her mother to come forward and ask His Majesty for a decree to marry Zhou Mu and make her an equal wife with Gu Xiyan.
As long as she can achieve this goal, she can slowly deal with Gu Xiyan in the future.
With the decision made, she no longer stayed in Jixiang Tower and went to Xuanchanghou's Mansion...

The name of CP has been decided, and it was Qi Shi, his wife, and Nan Shi who came up with it. I would also like to thank the other treasures for their enthusiastic participation, and thank you all for your support and consideration.
