"Wow, it seems someone from Shaolin Temple has come too!"
"Could that be the swordsman, Master Zhu Ying?"
“…”
The people exclaimed one after another, hardly able to believe what they were seeing.
"There are a lot more people coming to Kaitai Village this year than last year!"
"I heard there are a lot of good things this year."
"This Ji family is truly amazing. Where else can they find so many rare treasures?"
"Miss Ji San is truly an extraordinary woman!"
"Do you really believe that the success of Kaitai Manor is the work of the Third Miss? The only powerful ones are her brothers."
"That's right, I heard that the third young lady is actually married into the Wu family. Tell me, what does the young master of the Wu family look like?"
The people watching outside the gate could not see it and could only make wild guesses.
But the guests who entered were in for a feast for the eyes.
Ji Yunxi, who was dressed in red, was followed by a very tall young man.
The young man was wearing an ordinary white cotton coat.
The cotton coat must have been washed many times, and you can see that some of the threads are unraveling.
He kept his head down, not daring to look at the crowd.
But when he occasionally raised his head, he found that it was just as the rumors said, this young man had an ordinary appearance, his facial features were not stunning, and his appearance was as plain as boiled water.
But he is tall, and if he has a good temperament, he can also be a good boy.
But he just didn't have the right temperament, like a bullied young wife. Wherever Ji Yunxi went, he would follow her like a shadow.
Wu Weian has been coming to Kaitai Manor every day these days, and Ji Yunxi has gotten used to it.
Of course, he definitely didn't come here for nothing, he came here for Danzhi.
But Ji Yunxi didn't care.
Wu Weian's implication that day was very clear. He planned to wait for other people who had taken advantage of the situation to buy the items and leave before he started to snatch them away.
This has nothing to do with her.
Ji Yunxi stopped, and Wu Weian, who was following behind her, seemed to have failed to brake and stepped on the hem of her skirt.
Ji Yunxi turned around, slightly raised her chin to look at him, and stated the fact expressionlessly: "This is the sixth time."
Wu Weixian acted innocent: "What's the sixth chapter?"
"You, stepped on my skirt, this is the sixth time."
Wu Wei'an's face was filled with apology, and he was in a panic: "I'm sorry, Yunniang, I didn't mean to do that. I just wanted to follow you, and you walked fast, and I was afraid I would lose you, so I hurried. I'm sorry, Yunniang, take it off and I'll take it home and wash it for you..."
Ji Yunxi was annoyed: "Be quiet, and get out."
Wu Weian felt wronged: "But I want to follow you and help you..."
Ji Yunxi was too lazy to play along with him: "I cut off your silver charcoal?"
Wu Weian immediately understood: "Then Yunniang, you are busy, I won't disturb you."
Ji Yunxi watched him walk away, looking back every few steps, and planned to continue arranging the things at hand.
Xuezhu, holding a broom, accidentally swept past her. He said quickly and quietly with a face that looked like he had lost all hope in life, "Young Master, you stepped on me on purpose. Give me the cake."
After saying that, he slipped away immediately.
Chapter 16: Raising a cat and raising a man are essentially the same
After hearing Xue Zhu's words, Ji Yunxi didn't feel too upset.
Because she knew that Wu Weian stepped on her skirt on purpose, and it was not what Xuezhu said, but he was really taking revenge for such a small matter as the cakes.
He was just a little bored while acting at the moment.
Just like the cat that Ji Yunxi raised in her previous life, it always liked to push the small things on the table.
Ji Yunxi usually lets them do whatever they want with such trivial matters.
Often they stop playing when they get tired.
But if she has something important to do, she will drive them away for some peace and quiet.
The same is true for Wu Weian.
In fact, there is not much difference between raising a cat and raising a man.
Soon, the auction officially began.
Ji Yunxi didn't need to show up. She sat in her own room, drinking tea and watching.
Everything had been prepared in advance and the auction proceeded in an orderly manner.
Participants were familiar with Kaitai Manor's auction process and knew that it was unlikely to find a bargain. Initially, the bids were close to their expectations, significantly shortening the auction. After the first round of bidding, they could determine whether they had secured the item. Consequently, few items required a third round of bidding.
Halfway through, Wu Weian, who had gone somewhere unknown, pushed open the door of the wing room and walked in.
He sat down next to Ji Yunxi and looked at her for a while: "I suddenly understand what you said that day better."
Ji Yunxi put down the empty cup and looked up: "What?"
Wu Wei'an lifted his sleeve with one hand, took the teapot with the other, and refilled her tea: "You said that business must abide by the rules."
"Yeah. So?"
"So your guests are also very obedient to your rules." Wu Wei'an poured himself a cup, held the cup with one hand, and blew gently. "This is the first time I've seen that the final winner of more than 80% of the lots can be decided after the second round of bidding."
Ji Yunxi understood and raised her eyes slightly: "Thank you."
He was praising her for her good business, and his praise seemed quite sincere, so she appreciated it.
Hearing this, Wu Weian looked at her.
The more he read, the more amused he found it, and he laughed out loud: "You are not modest at all."
Ji Yunxi didn't blush or feel nervous. Facing his gaze, she reciprocated politely: "You're not bad either."
Wu Weian hummed: "That's true."
Ji Yunxi shook her head.
It just so happened that the next person to be photographed was Danzhi.
The two stopped chatting and watched quietly.
The person standing on the stage was the deputy manager of Kaitai Zhuang. He was thirty years old, taciturn, but very reliable.
He didn't say much, basically he only mentioned each item briefly. But this time, he didn't even mention it. He just said that this time it was Danzhi, and then asked everyone to make their own bids.
The rule of Kaitai Zhuang is that you pay for the goods before you receive them.
