Chapter 53 The Delayed Rich Lady (6)

Shuang'er feels that her throat is particularly uncomfortable recently, and she doesn't know what's wrong, but seeing that the agreed time is coming, if she can't get the money, she will be sold to a brothel.

Thinking of the place where she could never turn over, Shuang'er was terrified.

"Hey, isn't this the daughter of the third family? They're all this old? They're pretty pretty."

Shuang'er saw that it was the widow Wang next door, dressed in red satin, beautifully dressed, with a pair of slender eyes, always turning restlessly, and at a glance, she knew that she was not a serious person.

"Sister-in-law Wang." Shuang'er didn't have a good impression of the other party, so he said hello out of politeness.

Widow Wang is disdainful in her heart, who looks down on whom?
"By the way, there was quite a commotion yesterday. Did something happen to your family? Speaking of which, they are neighbors in the neighborhood. If you need help, just ask." Widow Wang said enthusiastically. I'm too lazy to talk to an ugly girl with high spirits.

These words hit Shuang'er's heart, and there was a trace of eagerness on his face, "Sister-in-law Wang, I know you are kind-hearted, can you lend me some money? Otherwise, my father will pay the debt."

Widow Wang's face was filled with righteous indignation, "Is there such a thing as forcing girls into prostitution in this world? Your father is nothing! Okay! Sister, this is the first time you have spoken to me. We are connected by fate. I will lend you this money." ”

Shuang'er was very grateful in his heart, his eyes were red, and he held onto the other's hand tightly, "Don't worry, Sister Wang, I will definitely return the money to you!"

"What are you talking about? We are all hard-working people, and we should help each other." Widow Wang comforted with a smile.

When Widow Wang returned home, a man in silk clothes stood in the yard with his hands behind his back.

"If you go back to the adults, everything will be settled."

The man nodded, "It's done well. As long as you lead this girl on the road and satisfy the adults, your money will be indispensable in the future."

Widow Wang was overjoyed, leaned over and said, "The slave family will definitely make that girl's life worse than death!"

"Brother Xu, this time it's really costing you." The classmate thanked politely.

Xu Yuqing shook his head and said with a smile, "Where is this talking? Last time it was my turn to be the host, it was natural to let everyone have fun."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere became more harmonious.

"Speaking of which, one of us is missing?"

"who is it?"

"Jiang Chen, he is the most talented among us." The person who spoke was straightforward, and was quickly pushed by the classmates around him, only then did he realize that he had slipped his words.

After all, those who are proud of their talents are always unwilling to be inferior to others.

Especially Xu Yuqing, such a proud person.Hearing the other party's words, I felt very uncomfortable, but it was difficult to express it, so I asked: "What is he doing recently? Isn't he studying hard? According to me, this study also needs to pay attention to methods, and it won't work behind closed doors. Yes, we should come out to discuss and discuss more, so that we can benefit from each other. The saints have said that if three people walk together, there must be my teacher."

One person quickly echoed: "Brother Xu is right, how can you just die and study? If you become an official in the future, you will need to communicate and network. What is the future of a brain like him?"

"Brother Jiang is right."

Then one by one said Jiang Chen was wrong, which made Xu Yuqing feel a lot more at ease.

Today, Tianxiang Restaurant is famous in Sioux City, and it is also the property of the Yue family.

Before Xu Yuqing had a falling out with the Yue family, he came here a few times. Because the Yue family had specially taken care of the shopkeeper, they only received a few taels of silver in a symbolic way.

But this time was different, Yue Xuan heard that Xu Yuqing was entertaining guests at Tianxiang Tower, so naturally he watched Xu Yuqing make a fool of himself in the box.

"Miss, Mr. Xu spent a total of 15 taels of silver. Should it be less?" the shopkeeper asked cautiously.

Yue Xuan replied: "No, charge more."

The shopkeeper was taken aback.

Yue Xuan patiently explained: "Before he hadn't paid off what he owed our Yue family, but now he treats us so generously, does this mean that our Yue family is dead? Just 20 taels."

The shopkeeper is a quick-minded person, seeing that the young lady hates Xu Yuqing extremely, and thinking that now that the prefect is his in-law, then their young lady can simply walk around in Sucheng.

this is OK!Isn't it just a lesson to a poor scholar who doesn't know what to do?
"How much?" Xu Yuqing puffed out his chest and spoke arrogantly.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "25 taels of silver."

"25 taels?" Xu Yuqing changed his face on the spot, his eyes widened, "Why don't you grab it? The last time I came here, it only cost [-] taels, but now it's just those. Why are they so much higher? Call your boss, I will I have something to say!"

The shopkeeper sneered, "Mr. Xu really has a big tone! You are not yet in high school, and you are acting like an adjutant! The Yue family treats you well, but you are so heartless. Take the money from the Yue family to eat, drink, play, and visit brothels. This is such a good thing? It was because the boss was kind-hearted before, so I deliberately took a lot of money, but now I come here again, shouldn’t I bring interest? The 25 taels, that’s because our boss is kind-hearted.”

Xu Yuqing's face was reddened by the words, scholars valued face the most, and now being said so by the other party, it was like peeling off his skin in front of everyone.

"You're talking nonsense! It's obvious that the Yue family is bullying people too much, and the dog's eyes look down on people!" Xu Yuqing was furious, pointing at the other person's nose and cursing.

"Tsk tsk, is this the upbringing of a scholar?" A melodious and charming voice sounded.

When everyone saw it, they lost their minds.

"It's you! Why do you have the face?" Xu Yuqing's eyes were burning, he really didn't expect Yue Xuan to be so despicable and shameless!
Yue Xuan sneered, "Why am I ashamed to come here? You've really disgraced scholars! Who in Suzhou City doesn't know that the price of Tianxiang Restaurant is not low, even an ordinary meal costs ten taels of silver. Not to mention Said that you eat and drink, and you are doing your best. Mr. Xu, don't tell me that you don't know the five grains and are ignorant? In fact, you know in your heart that this restaurant belongs to our Yue family, so every time you take advantage of it, you take it for granted. Our Yue family owes you Is it yours? Just this time, when I came back to save some capital, I went around clamoring for money, may I ask how much money you took from us in total? Do you have 50 taels?"

Xu Yuqing was speechless and his face turned blue after being blocked by the teacher's questioning.

Someone couldn't help but stood up and said sarcastically: "I've never seen such an ugly eater! It's fine if you don't pay back the money you took, and just act like it's a matter of course. I'm afraid you read it in your gut?"

"That's right. The Yue family has always been generous. These years, they often support those poor scholars, but I have never seen such a person who doesn't know what is good or bad."

Xu Yuqing really couldn't stand the self-blame and abuse from everyone. He knew that if this matter was not resolved, his reputation would be completely ruined.

No!

Xu Yuqing gritted her teeth, since she wanted to destroy herself, why should he show mercy?
Yue Xuan met the other party's gloomy eyes, and the corner of his mouth was sarcasm, overthinking himself.

"Miss Yue, why are you trying so hard to ruin me? Is it because you are afraid that I will expose your scandal?"

Yue Xuan sneered, looked at the man in front of him, sat down gracefully, and let the maid serve tea, "Interesting. What are you talking about about me?"

Xu Yuqing sneered, "Shuang'er, the girl next to you, knows best. At the beginning you were interested in me and showed me favor frequently, but I am a scholar and abide by the way of a gentleman. Who knew that I met the magistrate, in order to marry into Shao's mansion, so They're trying to destroy me! If you don't believe me, let Shuang'er testify."
