Chapter 190 Gu Lao San has a hard time expressing his suffering
Don't blame him for his cold words to that brat Leng Ci. It turns out that the old cow eating young grass he told him about was actually his own sister.
After he became the regent, he transferred Gu Feicheng back from Qizhou City so that his family could be reunited and he could also be his assistant.
Unexpectedly, the next day after he returned to the capital, he couldn't wait to come to propose marriage.
Only then did he realize that this brat had been eyeing his younger sister since she was sixteen, and he still treated him as a good brother.
And there was his younger sister. No one knew what kind of magic potion this man had poured into her, but she had been waiting for him for several years and had become an old maid. He had no choice but to agree to the marriage, and they got married early.
Gu Feicheng received his brother-in-law's sharp gaze and couldn't help but smirked, "My wife doesn't have time to come here. Your sister is pregnant right now!"
Mu Xingci's expression brightened when he heard this: "You're going to be a father soon, so be more careful in your work from now on."
"I see. I didn't say anything! Look, Miss Yun has bid over 90,000 taels."
Gu Feicheng quickly changed the subject. This brother-in-law was still brooding over the fact that he had hooked up with his sister, so it would be better for him to stay away from this gentleman.
Lin Yao downstairs glared at the woman who was deliberately opposing her and continued to shout and hold up the sign: "One hundred thousand taels!"
When Yun Wansheng saw that she had really bid up to 100,000 taels, she stopped bidding. It seemed that the Grand Tutor's Mansion was very rich. Who knew how much of the people's money she had extorted to allow her to squander it so extravagantly.
Seeing that the auctioneer had called out twice in a row and no one bid, Lin Yao looked at Yun Wansheng proudly and asked, "Why don't you follow?"
"Miss Lin is rich and powerful, I admit defeat to you. The jade tripod is yours." Yun Wansheng smiled indifferently. She did not show any anger after being defeated. She lost very gracefully.
At this time, the auctioneer raised the hammer and said, "One hundred thousand two hundred and three times. If no one bids, this jade tripod will belong to Miss Lin."
Just when everyone thought that the fair-faced jade was Lin Yao's possession, a man's voice suddenly came from upstairs: "One hundred and twenty thousand taels!"
This powerful voice made everyone look at the window of a private room on the second floor at the same time. They saw three men in fancy clothes standing there, and it was hard to tell which one of them was bidding.
When the auctioneer saw the three men, his expression was flattering: "So it's you three gentlemen. I wonder which of you just made the bid?"
Two of the three people naturally pointed to the man in the middle: "It was Gu Feicheng who called, you can just go find him." Helange and Liang Wenyu smiled inexplicably.
They were just staring at the downstairs just now, and they didn't know why Gu Feicheng suddenly stepped forward and made a bid?
Only Gu Feicheng knew that he was being forced. He was originally watching the show and didn't want to be pulled aside by Mu Xingci, who then whispered in his ear: "You must take a picture of the jade tripod for me, otherwise, your wife will always live in her parents' home, and your child will be raised by his uncle." After that, she left without giving him a chance to speak.
Lin Yao never expected that the thing that was about to be in her hands would be lost again. She saw that it was Gu Feicheng who was bidding, and wanted to look for Mu Xingci, but found that he was not there.
"Master Gu, this jade tripod is for women. Why would a man like you take it? Why don't you give it to me? I will appreciate your kindness later." Lin Yao didn't want to pay any more money.
One hundred thousand taels is her entire dowry. Although her natal family property is also hers, her parents are still alive and they will never give all the property to her. Xiaohua can do it, but she will be disciplined if she spends too much.
She originally thought that she could get the beauty-enhancing jade tripod for 50,000 taels, but unexpectedly, Yun Wansheng showed up and competed with her, causing her to gamble away all her dowry in anger. At worst, she would get scolded and ask her parents' family for money.
But just when she was about to successfully get the Jade Tripod, someone else tried to snatch the Jade Cream from her, which really made her angry.
When he saw that it was Mu Xingci's good brother Gu Feicheng, he thought of asking the current regent to consider their past relationship and not let his good buddy compete with him.
But when she looked for him, she found that Mu Xingci was not with Gu Feicheng, and her hopes were instantly shattered.
"Miss Lin, what do you say? It's true that I am a man, but my wife is a woman! Isn't it normal for me to take a picture of Yu Ding to make her happy?" Gu Feicheng said with a chuckle.
Lin Yao was speechless when she heard this. She knew that he was already married. Seeing that she couldn't persuade him with human feelings, she hardened her heart and said, "Since you won't let me, I can only continue to hold up the sign." At most, she would go back to her parents' home to be scolded and asked for money.
"Miss Lin, please feel free to do as you please!" Gu Feicheng had Mu Xingci's death order, so he had no choice but to sacrifice his life for the gentleman.
Lin Yao saw his determined look and saw annoyance in her eyes: "One hundred and thirty thousand taels!"
"One hundred and fifty thousand taels!" Gu Feicheng added twenty thousand taels in one breath, which made all the spectators present stunned and they kept looking up at the second floor.
This kind of excitement today is rare. Everyone hopes that they will continue bidding so that they can continue to watch the show.
Yun Wansheng looked at the interesting scene in front of her, feeling relieved. She leaned close to Qiao Xue's ear and whispered, "Is Gu Feicheng's family very rich?" Otherwise, how could he dare to spend so much money on bidding.
"His family was not so wealthy before, but things became different after he married the Regent's sister a few years ago. I heard that his wife's dowry was more than 200,000 taels!" Qiao Xue said with a smile.
"Really? He really is rich." Yun Wansheng laughed as she remembered what the man had said to her.
When Lin Yao heard that Gu Feicheng had raised the price to 150,000 taels in one breath, her face turned pale with anger: "180,000 taels!"
"Two hundred thousand taels!" Gu Feicheng said calmly.
Lin Yao stared at the people upstairs with her red eyes. She saw Gu Feicheng with his arms folded over his chest, looking sure of victory and determined to fight to the end. She did not dare to bid again.
She had figured out that even if she offered 300,000 taels, this man would still follow suit. After all, he was now the Regent's brother-in-law, which gave him the qualifications to challenge her.
Thinking of this, he glared at Gu Feicheng and said, "It's yours." After saying this unconvincedly, he pulled his cousin out.
"Thank you!" Gu Feicheng said politely without any sincerity, then looked at Yun Wansheng with a slightly deep look in his eyes, and then looked away.
Seeing his good brother buy the jade tripod, Helangge couldn't help but smile and said, "Gu Laosan, I know you love your wife, but I didn't expect you to love her so much that you were willing to spend 200,000 taels to buy a small jade tripod. You really make us two brothers admire you."
"Gu Laosan, are you sure you spent two hundred thousand taels to make your wife happy, instead of making her kneel on the washboard?" Liang Wenyu said with a smile, watching the fun.
Gu Feicheng looked at his two sworn brothers coldly as they laughed at him. He really wanted to throw them off the building: "I have money and I am willing to do it. If I don't like you, you can buy it for your wives! Don't provoke me with words." After saying that, he turned around and left.
