Chapter 172 Blood from Heartache

"Two hundred and one taels!" Liu Meiyan gritted her teeth, not wanting Gu Xiyan to take the lead.

Seeing this, the other diners talked a lot, wondering if it was worth spending so much money for a dish of tofu?

At this time, Hu Die also tugged on Gu Xiyan's cuff, shook her head and said, "Forget it, let her."

"Why should I give up?!" Gu Xiyan immediately raised the auction again: "Three hundred taels!"

For a moment, everyone was in an uproar, unable to believe that Gu Xiyan spent so much money for a dish of tofu.

Liu Meiyan couldn't keep shouting, she only brought a thousand taels of silver today, her aunt gave her four hundred taels, and the rest was all her private money saved up by herself.

"Go on! If you lose, she doesn't know how proud she will be in the future." Liu Huiyan whispered: "Does Fifth Sister want to lose at the hands of Big Sister?"

Liu Meiyan couldn't imagine losing to Gu Xiyan, and was provoked by Liu Huiyan, she raised her sign again: "Three hundred and one taels."

Hu Die tugged at Gu Xiyan's cuff nervously, feeling that it was almost done. If she kept shouting, this bowl of tofu would really go into her mouth.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xiyan gave her a comforting look, and held up the sign again, with a calm expression: "Five hundred taels!"

Since Liu Meiyan wants to carry it with her, she will carry it to the end. Anyway, she won't lose if Hu Die eats this bowl of tofu. Of course you should make good use of it.

Everyone's breathing was stagnant, and they all thought that Gu Xiyan was crazy.

The sisters of the Liu family also thought that Gu Xiyan was crazy, and they all stared at Gu Xiyan with eyes that seemed to be eating people.

Thinking that Gu Xiyan took five thousand taels of silver from the old lady, it's no wonder that Gu Xiyan raised two hundred taels when she opened her mouth.

Liu Meiyan couldn't keep shouting anymore, she felt that buying a bowl of tofu with five hundred taels was too uneconomical, but losing to Gu Xiyan, to be honest, she felt very uncomfortable.

Liu Junyan pulled Liu Meiyan vigorously, signaling her to continue to increase the price, but Liu Meiyan was reluctant, and no longer bid this time.

Liu Junyan looked at Gu Xiyan, who was as red as fire, bright and moving, and said to Liu Chaoyan in a low voice: "Look at the proud look of the eldest sister, the second sister wants her to win? His Royal Highness King Qin came to the Hou Mansion that day. It was a great day to set the date of marriage, but in the end, the big sister stole the limelight. Your imposing future Princess Qin can't compete with the wife-to-be of a third-rank official, are you willing?"

Liu Chaoyan clenched her fists and suddenly felt that there was nothing to hesitate.

If you lose to anyone, you can't lose to Gu Xiyan. This is not simply to show off your appetite, but it is about the face of the girl from the Liu family.

At that moment, she held up the placard without hesitation: "Six hundred taels!"

Gu Xiyan is majestic, she is more majestic than Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan looked at Liu Chaoyan with a half-smile, and hooked her lips with a faint smile: "I just want Xiaodie to try something new, why bother to fight with me. It's just a bowl of tofu, and the second sister wants to eat it. I can do it for you, the second sister really doesn't need to be brave."

Liu Chaoyan took a sip of tea slowly, and replied with a smile: "My sister's words are wrong. It's not just Miss Hu who wants to taste the taste of this tofu, but I also want to try it. If the elder sister is reluctant, you might as well let it go Give me."

"There are still a lot of delicacies in the back, why doesn't the second sister stare at the dishes in the back, but at this dish I like?" Gu Xiyan asked bluntly.

"Big sister is thinking too much, I just want to taste what kind of tofu is not made of beans..."

This time before Liu Chaoyan could finish speaking, Gu Xiyan raised her placard again: "One thousand taels."

Liu Chaoyan gritted her teeth tightly, but she never thought that Gu Xiyan would dare to add it.

She subconsciously looked at Liu Junyan, who nodded to her: "You can't lose to her!"

Liu Chaoyan was bleeding from heartache, she gritted her teeth: "One thousand and one taels!"

"One thousand two hundred taels!"

Liu Chaoyan almost fainted.

She took a total of two thousand silver bills to go out, but Gu Xiyan brought five thousand taels...

That's right, seeing that Gu Xiyan has been increasing the price, it must be this dish, she might as well raise the price even higher, even if she can't win Gu Xiyan, she still has to make Gu Xiyan lose money.

Then she held up the sign again: "One thousand five hundred taels!"

As soon as she said this, the audience was in an uproar.

Hu Die's weather in September is extremely hot, she thinks that Gu Xiyan's game is too big, and she should accept it as soon as it is good.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xiyan and Liu Chaoyan were jealous and kept raising the price.

The other diners were watching the excitement, but they also enjoyed it.

Everyone knows the grievances between sisters Liu Chaoyan and Gu Xiyan. Gu Xiyan was originally the fiance of His Highness King Qin, but later the marriage was rescinded, and His Highness King Qin made an engagement with Liu Chaoyan.

The day when Liu Chaoyan set the wedding date, it was the time when Gu Xiyan got engaged again.

The love and hatred between these two sisters is even more exciting than what is written in the script. It is actually not difficult to understand that they will be facing each other like this today.

The essence of the sisters' bidding is not to compete for a bowl of tofu, but to compete in public.

Humans essentially join in wherever there is excitement. Gossip is human nature. Aren't the people watching at this moment just watching the excitement?

Gu Xiyan and Liu Chaoyan have already entered into a heated battle for a bowl of tofu.

After Gu Xiyan called out the price, Liu Chaoyan held up a sign without hesitation: "Two thousand one hundred taels!"

Gu Xiyan raised her brows lightly, thinking that it was almost done: "Since my sister likes this bowl of tofu, how can I, as an older sister, refuse to let it go? Forget it, let me give it to my sister."

Liu Chaoyan's expression changed slightly, thinking that he had misheard.

Didn't Gu Xiyan swear by this bowl of tofu? Before that, Gu Xiyan raised the price without even thinking about it, why didn't she continue to increase the price?

"Congratulations to the second sister." The other three sisters of the Liu family congratulated Liu Chaoyan in unison.

Liu Chaoyan's face was not good-looking, she suddenly remembered that she only brought two thousand taels of silver notes, but she just asked for two thousand one hundred taels of silver.

She represents not only herself, but also the future Qin Palace, so she can't take out two thousand and one hundred taels.

"Third sister, lend me one hundred taels, and I'll pay back my sister when I return to the Hou Mansion." She whispered to Liu Junyan.

Liu Junyan immediately understood that Liu Chaoyan only took two thousand taels to go out. She didn't refuse, she couldn't let Gu Xiyan see the jokes of the four sisters.

Liu Chaoyan handed over two thousand one hundred taels of silver, and when she got this bowl of sky-high priced tofu, she felt so complicated that she couldn't express it in words.

"The tofu looks very delicious, can the second sister let me have a taste?" Liu Miyan let out a lovely smile.

Why is Liu Chaoyan willing to feed Liu Meiyan?

She said softly, "I'll try it first."

Thinking that this is a delicacy that she bought for two thousand taels, she solemnly tasted it.

The moment she ate it, her eyes lit up: "It's delicious. It's tender, smooth, and fragrant. The taste is unparalleled. It's not the usual tofu at all!"

She suddenly felt that spending so much money to buy a unique delicacy in the world is actually not that bad. It's just too expensive, too expensive, so expensive that her heart aches when she takes a bite.

Haha, I just ask you if it hurts!

It's the end of the month, and I'm dying, please ask for a ticket.
