Everyone present had different thoughts, and the only unhappy person was Princess Yongjia.
She spent one hundred thousand taels of silver to take photos of the delicacies and delivered them to Zhou Mu, but Zhou Mu didn't even look at her.
No matter what she said, Zhou Mu wouldn't answer and treated her like nothing, so what's the point of her paying a sky-high price to take pictures of this dish?
Because of Zhou Mu's indifference, she regretted taking the photo of this dish.
Now that she calmed down, she remembered that she only brought 60,000 yuan, all her private money was here, and she also advanced part of it to her mother.
She had to pay back the 40,000 taels of silver she borrowed from King Zhao. How was she going to tell her mother that she spent 100,000 taels on a dish when she returned to the Hou Mansion?
Not to mention that other people looked at Princess Yongjia with strange eyes, even King Zhao, who spent money like water, felt inferior to him.
Although he is also crazy, he is not as crazy as Princess Yongjia. At most, he only spent 20,000 yuan to take pictures of one dish, and that was still stimulated by Xu Yanqing.
Princess Yongjia spent a lot of money on the auction today. Doesn't this mean giving money to Jixiang Tower?
After calming down, King Zhao carefully calculated and found that he had spent one hundred thousand taels in order to satisfy his appetite in the past two days.
His annual salary and salary add up to about 20,000 taels. If you include the money received from other industries in a year, the total is only about 100,000 taels.
So he spent a whole year's income on just a few dishes in the past two days?
If the father knew about this, he would probably break his legs.
King Zhao, who reacted belatedly, approached Princess Yongjia and whispered: "I will accompany you to get the money later. You must not default on the payment."
"Can't I pay you back next month?" Princess Yongjia's face didn't look good.
"No! I am short of money. You will pay me back today, otherwise I will go with you to see your aunt." King Zhao is not a gentleman, and he has no friendship with Princess Yongjia, so he will not give in.
Princess Yongjia looked at the untouched dish and put it in a food box, intending to take it back and give it to her mother.
Princess Yongjia was still looking at Zhou Mu before leaving, but Zhou Mu didn't even look at her, which made her very disappointed.
Looking at Gu Xiyan who was standing next to Zhou Mu with a happy face, the more she thought about it, the more she hated it.
If Gu Xiyan hadn't repeatedly raised the price, how could she suddenly spend 100,000 taels on a dish?
As soon as the two enemies of Princess Yongjia and King Zhao left, everyone began to talk about it. The focus of the discussion was the two people who had just left. Everyone thought that those who had daughters at home could not marry King Zhao, and those who had sons at home could not marry Yongjia County.
Lord, otherwise the family fortune will be ruined sooner or later.
After Gu Xiyan made a fortune, she felt refreshed. When she calmed down, she finally realized that Zhou Mu was too silent today.
It seems that since she and Princess Yongjia started bidding, Zhou Mu has no sense of existence. He doesn't even realize his existence when he doesn't speak.
At this moment, Su Ho suddenly came over, sat down where Princess Yongjia was sitting, and asked her directly: "Miss Gu just raised the price with Yongjia on purpose, right?"
Gu Xiyan knew that what she had done was obvious and her secret could easily be revealed, but in order to raise enough money, she didn't care much.
Even if people knew that she was the mastermind behind Jixiang Tower, she was mentally prepared.
Su Ho could see it, and Zhou Mu must have noticed it too, so Zhou Mu was quieter than usual just now, maybe he's still waiting to hear her explanation now.
"What does it have to do with you?" Gu Xiyan disagreed and did not look at Su Ho.
Su Ho looked at Gu Xiyan with a smile but not a smile: "You really did it on purpose. If Princess Yongjia knew that you deliberately tricked her, how do you think she would deal with you?!"
"Miss Su, just do whatever you want. I don't want to say another word to a villain like you." Gu Xiyan took a leisurely sip of tea.
Su Ho smiled when he heard this, and cast a meaningful look on Zhou Mu's face beside him: "Then Miss Gu doesn't care what Mr. Zhou thinks about this matter or what he thinks about Miss Gu?"
Zhou Mu suddenly put down the tea cup, his emotionless eyes fixed on Su Ho's face.
Su Ho's scalp felt numb and his hands and feet were cold from Zhou Mu's cold eyes.
"Who do you think you are, dare to point fingers at Xi Yan?! A woman like you, who lost her virginity before marriage and has no sense of shame and etiquette, actually has the nerve to make irresponsible remarks to others?!" Zhou Mu's eyes were as deep as a thousand-year-old cold pool.
, with a bone-gnawing coldness.
His merciless words immediately made everyone's eyes fall on Su Ho's face.
The strange looks in everyone's eyes made Su Ho particularly embarrassed.
Ancient times were no less harsh on women than modern times, and losing one's virginity before marriage was even more common.
With everyone watching, she felt ashamed and angry.
She obviously wanted Zhou Mu to see Gu Xiyan's true face clearly. It would be best to force Zhou Mu to withdraw from Gu Xiyan's marriage. She didn't want Zhou Mu, who seemed to be an immortal, to be so vicious with his mouth.
She was humiliated and embarrassed in front of many people.
Xu Yanqing was also watching the fun, casually took the peanut shells and threw them at Su Ho.
Seeing this, other people followed suit and threw debris at Su Ho, forcing Su Ho to run away and soon disappeared in Jixiang Building.
As soon as Su Ho, the troublemaker, left, Gu Xiyan began to worry about herself.
Zhou Mu's merciless words just now frightened her. She was afraid that Zhou Mu had accumulated anger and would focus his firepower on her later.
Zhou Mu stood up at this time, glanced at Gu Xiyan and said, "It's getting late, come home with me."
Gu Xiyan did not dare to object and followed Zhou Mu down to the second floor.
Seeing her following Zhou Mu like a little daughter-in-law, Xu Yanqing and Dong Yong sighed at the same time.
The two looked at each other, then looked away in disgust.
On the other side, Gu Xiyan followed Zhou Mu into the carriage and took the initiative to chat: "How about I cook a delicious dish for you? What I cook is also delicious, no worse than Jixianglou."
"What is your relationship with Shopkeeper Wu? Why do you want to help him like this?" Zhou Mu's faint gaze fell on Gu Xiyan's soft profile.
Gu Xiyan blinked her eyelashes, wondering how could he be so sure that she was helping Wu Tong instead of Wu Tong helping her?
Of course, she didn't dare to talk in front of Zhou Mu.
"With your temperament, you will never fight to the death with Princess Yongjia for a dish. You helping me bid for that dish is just an excuse. The purpose is to anger Princess Yongjia, let her help you raise the price, and finally stimulate
She spent one hundred thousand taels on a dish." Zhou Mu added softly.
He didn't have a harsh tone, but it made Gu Xiyan's heart tense.
"She clearly said that she had a crush on the young master and wanted to ask your majesty to marry him and become his equal wife. I got angry when I heard that, so I decided to teach her a little lesson in this way." Gu Xiyan said, looking up.
He held his chest high and told Zhou Mu that he was not guilty at all.
As for helping Wu Tong, this is not true because it was Wu Tong who was helping her.
Zhou Mu didn't expect this to happen. The chill on his body dissipated and a smile flashed in his eyes: "Are you jealous, girl?"
