Erji put away the fan of the handsome man and bowed: "Thank you, sir."
You know how difficult it was for him to get this holiday. My mother at home told him about several girls for him to look at, but he thought he had no time to reject them. This time I let him go, if he still can't go back to see each other, he will be skinned.
He meant that he had to go back anyway.
After watching the show, Zuixian Tower returned to its former atmosphere.
Mei Yuanqing and Zhao Cai were in the same room in disgrace, and the shopkeeper banged the table in front of them.
"You guys tell me what to do. Today, the two of you had a big fight in our Zuixian Building. Not only did it affect the dining experience of our distinguished guests, but they also broke numerous tables, chairs and furnishings in our building."
After finishing speaking angrily, the shopkeeper's tone softened slightly, "But our store is not unkind. It's not easy for everyone in Beijing, so I specifically asked the people above for instructions. I'll give you a discount for today's event. The total is Five hundred taels.”
"Five hundred taels? Shopkeeper...are you sure?" Mei Yuanqing's eyes almost popped out of his head. His hair was disheveled and he still smelled of food. As soon as he got close to the shopkeeper, he backed away and covered his nose and said: " Can we, Zuixianlou, still deceive you? This is already considering the high price, so... we will give you two some reductions."
Mei Yuanqing clearly felt that the shopkeeper's eyes glanced at the two people's clothes, and his tone was somewhat pitiful.
He couldn't help but said bluntly, "Boss, I will definitely give you this money. I, Mei Yuanqing, am not a deadbeat."
The shopkeeper clapped his hands when he heard this and said with a smile: "I know that distinguished guests will definitely not default on their bills. Then look at how long it will take."
"I'll come to Zuixian Tower tomorrow, tomorrow with the banknotes."
The person who can be the shopkeeper in Zuixian Tower must be the best among the best, and the identities of the two have been found out a long time ago.
He even knew where Mei Yuanqing's mansion was, so he didn't worry about them not paying him at all.
He waved his hand and let the two people go.
............
"Well, brother-in-law... you just gave me these five hundred taels?" He walked out of Zuixian Tower. Zhao Cai approached Mei Yuanqing and asked with a twinkling look in his eyes.
I was secretly shocked that the Mei family was really so rich.
What is five hundred taels? It was a large amount that they would never see in their poor place. Mei Yuanqing actually took it without saying a word.
"What else can you do if you don't give it? You can't just let it be detained somewhere and then send it to the prison in the name of damage."
Zhao Cai was a little annoyed when he heard the impatience in Mei Yuanqing's tone, "That person just went too far, but it's not my fault after all. Why isn't my brother-in-law impatient with me?"
Since you have a lot of money, you will give it to me if you give me five hundred taels, so why be angry. Sure enough, the richer the person, the more he cares about it.
Mei Yuanqing immediately laughed angrily at him.
It can be said that he taught him several lessons in one night, and he also had a clear understanding of Zhang Ruoruo's relatives.
This and that are relatives! It's obviously a deadly ghost! After finishing the genealogy for Ruoruo, we will send these plague gods away as soon as possible.
Thinking of having to take out five hundred taels later, he already started to have a headache.
Now the money in the family account is only five hundred taels, so what will happen in the future?
Zhao Cai didn't know what Mei Yuanqing was thinking. When he returned to Mei's house, he went into the yard where he and his parents were and told everything about today's situation.
It also added a lot of fuel and vinegar.
When Zhao Hu saw that something was not going well, he ran back to the house alone long ago.
At this moment, Mr. Zhao Gu was drinking tea leisurely. After listening to his son's words, he placed the cup heavily on the table. There were a lot of water stains around the table. His eyes were bright and he was a little unbelievable. , "Is this really true? There is no ink at all when I take out five hundred taels."
"How dare I lie to you? Mei Yuanqing gave the money without saying a word. I also thought that Zhang Ruoruo found an ordinary man to marry. Although he has some official positions, he is not rich in general."
"But I didn't expect that today finally opened my eyes. Five hundred taels! Dad, that's a full five hundred taels! My son has never seen so much money in his life."
Zhao Hu touched a small tuft of beard on his chin and showed a thoughtful expression, "I originally thought that if I could extort dozens of taels, or even a hundred taels, I would make money by burning incense. But now it seems .... It’s actually easier for them.”
Zhao Cai rubbed his hands and looked excited. "Dad! My son wants five hundred taels! No! My son wants five thousand taels!"
Mrs. Zhao Gu also stood behind and smiled, already thinking about how to use the money if she had it.
First of all, my son will definitely not have to worry about getting a wife. Maybe he can get a beautiful maid from the Mei family. Isn't that better than those ugly women in the countryside who become his son's wife?
You can also repair your own yard and buy some decent clothes and ornaments. From now on, the Zhao family will also be a wealthy family.
In Ci'an Hall, Mei's mother was almost furious to death after hearing this.
After regaining his breath, he stretched out his chubby fingers and said, "Five hundred taels? Did I hear that right?"
Mei Yuanqing nodded awkwardly, "Mother, you heard it right, it is indeed five hundred taels."
She slapped her thigh and cried, "Oh, this country bumpkin who has killed a thousand swords has come to my house to cause trouble. That's five hundred taels, not fifty taels! This is going to tear out the flesh in my heart! Looking back on the days But how else to live?"
After saying that, he glared fiercely at Yingge on the side, which made her heart tremble and she almost knelt down.
"Go and call that bastard Zhang Ruoruo over here! Why did she have to let my Mei family clean up the trouble caused by her relatives? Let her clean up the mess by herself! What a bunch of scumbags!"
After speaking, he spat on the ground.
This time, Mei Yuanqing, who was usually supportive, remained silent this time.
Yingge got the order and hurriedly headed towards Zhuxi Courtyard with windy legs. She had been terrified these past few days, fearing that someone from the Zhao family would want to take her there. Although Mei's mother loved her dearly, she knew best. Mei's mother was the coldest in her heart. At the critical moment, she didn't care about her daily feelings.
In the Zhuxi courtyard, Zhang Ruoruo was watching Brother Cheng write under a bright candlelight. She was sewing and mending a piece of clothing in her hand.
"Aunt Zhang, the old lady asked you to go."
Zhang Ruoruo raised his head and frowned, "It's late at night, is it possible that the old lady is feeling uncomfortable?"
Because of the Zhao family's affairs, Yingge naturally had a worse opinion of Zhang Ruoruo and didn't like to see her at all. Her tone was full of impatience at this moment, "How can I, a servant, know what the master is thinking, Aunt Zhang?" It’s better to come with me quickly so that the old lady won’t be angry.”
