Chapter 127: Little Thoughts (Additional Update 2 for Voting)
A minute before Xu Youyou spoke, she asked Lu Jingyao, "I remember that today's service staff seemed to be all young people from various families?"
Lu Jingyao nodded: "In an occasion like this, the Lin family will not let people who don't know their background in casually."
Xu Youyou frowned: "You don't allow people to come in casually? These two just sneaked in."
Lu Jingyao was speechless.
Xu Youyou watched as Gu Xueying gained the upper hand. The young waiter was so annoyed that he was about to cry, so he spoke up and exposed Gu Xueying's little tricks.
"If anyone bumps into you, you will think that she is interested in Gu Yuji? Speaking of which, Gu Xueying, you look so protective of your food. You don't act like a younger sister, but more like the wife that Gu Yuji married into the first house." Xu Youyou joked loudly.
It was just a casual remark, but Xu Youyou noticed that Gu Xueying avoided his gaze.
Is this a guilty conscience?
Gu Xueying stiffened her neck and said, "My third brother is young and promising. The little girl was confused for a moment, and we don't want to make a fuss about it. Why do you have to bring it up?"
After Gu Xueying said this, it seemed that Xu Youyou was not considerate.
Xu Youyou said, "How shameless of you! Are there no other young talents here? Gu Yuji is just a young painter. As everyone knows, in this industry, only works are valuable after death. How can a living Gu Yuji compare with the others here?"
"Let's not even mention those far away. Mr. Lu next to me, in terms of looks, wealth, and even more so, demeanor, is he far superior to Gu Yuji in every way? Why aren't there any young girls bumping into him?"
When the wrongly accused waitress saw Xu Youyou speak up for her, her anger vanished and she shouted, "Yes, I don't like this effeminate man! I only like porcelain!"
Xu Youyou continued, "If bumping into him means you're interested in him, then..."
Before Xu Youyou finished speaking, her body moved and crashed into Gu Yuji like a cannonball.
Gu Yuji was caught off guard and was bumped by her. He immediately staggered and almost fell to the ground, looking very embarrassed.
Xu Youyou smiled and said to the Gu brothers and sisters, "I didn't mean to bump into you. Just think of it as me being interested in you and falling in love with you at first sight."
The others present burst into laughter, and the waitress laughed particularly loudly.
Gu Yuji steadied himself, listening to the commotion around him. His sinister eyes looked as if he wanted to eat Xu Youyou: "Xu Youyou, you're fine."
Xu Youyou gave a provocative smile back. She couldn't see clearly in her previous life, but when she looked at the two siblings in this life, a strange feeling suddenly arose in her heart.
Gu Yuji has always been very protective of Gu Xueying, almost without any discrimination as to right or wrong.
Sometimes Gu Xueying would even deliberately frame Xu Youyou in front of Gu Yuji.
Xu Youyou thought that he was her relative and would get his consent if she asked him for help, but when she came in front of other members of the Gu family, Xu Youyou was confident that she could clear her name.
But in return, Gu Yuji stabbed him in the back.
Gu Yuji was involved in all of Xu Youyou's most painful experiences in the Gu family in her previous life.
He is like a poisonous snake, with no sense of right and wrong, no blood ties, and everything he does is for Gu Xueying.
Xu Youyou still remembers that when Gu Xueying had a miscarriage, she met a crazy Gu Yuji.
Gu Yuji's eyes were red, he wanted to kill Xu Youyou, and clamored to send Xu Youyou to Myanmar. He even pinched Xu Youyou's neck several times. If other people in the Gu family hadn't held him back, Xu Youyou would have died in his previous life before the disease broke out.
Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in front of Xu Youyou.
At some point, Lu Jingyao took a step forward and stood between her and Gu Yuji.
"You are worthy of being my sister. With just your pretty face, you have charmed Mr. Lu to the point of bewilderment." Gu Yuji said in an extremely frivolous tone.
He pronounced the three words "sister" particularly heavily, and it didn't sound like he was talking to Xu Youyou and Lu Jingyao, but more like he was talking to someone else.
"Mr. Gu, it's not gentlemanly to say such things to a girl." Lu Jingyao said in a deep voice.
Gu Yuji chuckled, and her feminine and handsome face was full of coldness.
"Lu Jingyao, you treat the waste that the Gu family doesn't want as a treasure."
When Xu Youyou heard this, she wasn't angry at all.
"Is the Gu family something so great? Do I need the Gu family's approval? Gu Xueying treasures the identity I don't want."
Gu Xueying looked embarrassed, but the incident just now had already made them lose face. She could not please Lu Jingyao, nor did she dare to offend Lu Jingyao. At this time, she tried her best to hold Gu Yuji and said in a low voice: "Brother, we came to the capital for something."
Gu Yuji is a mad dog, and Gu Xueying is the rope that holds him back.
At this time, he restrained his expression, looked at Xu Youyou coldly, and without saying anything more, entered the porcelain hall.
Xu Youyou did not leave immediately, but paused at the door for a moment. When she saw that the brother and sister's target was the Yongzheng famille rose vase, she couldn't help but look surprised.
"They want to buy this bottle? They seem to really want to buy the expensive porcelain?" Xu Youyou whispered.
Since the last auction, Xu Youyou noticed that the Gu family was buying porcelain at sky-high prices. Could it be that they failed in the bidding with Lu Jingyao for the colorful cup and turned their attention to the Yongzheng famille rose vase?
Lu Jingyao probably understood what she was thinking, and lowered his voice and said, "They can't compete with Mr. Cheng for the Qianlong enamel bowl, so they can only compete for this bottle. If such a valuable porcelain is to be sold, it will be the highlight of the day, and the sale will not start until at least this afternoon or evening."
Xu Youyou nodded. She also brought some things to sell, so she should have time to see the fun at the Gu family's house.
She turned around and pulled Lu Jingyao into Hall No. 2, which seemed to be a special room for calligraphy and painting.
"Look at this fan of mine. I got it with great difficulty." A man in a Zhongshan suit said this proudly to the people around him.
Xu Youyou leaned over to take a look. He was holding a brocade box in his hand, with a fan spread out inside.
Xu Youyou now has the "rudimentary skills of calligraphy and painting appraisal". With just a quick glance, she can see some of the clues.
"The calligraphy of Wen Zhengming, one of the Four Great Masters of the Ming Dynasty!" Xu Youyou said.
The middle-aged man turned his head and glanced at her, saying, "You have quite sharp eyes, little girl!"
Xu Youyou was a little tempted when she looked at the fan. After all, the price of this kind of calligraphy and painting would not be particularly high, probably around one million, which was within her affordability. She could definitely buy one and take it home to study.
"Mr. Lu, what treasure did you bring this time?"
Someone recognized Lu Jingyao and asked him about it.
Lu Jingyao shook his head: "I came here with a friend."
Everyone else present looked at Xu Youyou with curiosity.
Xu Youyou was well prepared and took out the letter from Zeng Gong.
"A letter from Zeng Gong's family! Oh my god! The last time it appeared was at an auction in Hong Kong?"
"is that true?"
"This handwriting, this seal, can't be faked!"
"Mr. Tang? Where is Mr. Tang? Hurry and ask him to come over and take a look!"
Not long after, an elderly man with gray hair, leaning on a cane and looking to be in his seventies came in, supported by someone.
"I heard that a kid brought a rare treasure here. Can I take a look at it?" Mr. Tang asked with a smile.
