The Frustrated Layman Jiaxuan (X)

One of the bartenders saw Hao Zhen's fearless look and knew that he might have run into him today. If he continued to hold on, he would definitely get into trouble. The wisest thing to do now was not to offend the two people in front of him, so he became much more polite and said, "I haven't asked your name yet, where is your home..." Hao Zhen was 20 or 30 years younger than him, but he shamelessly called Hao Zhen "Your Highness."

Hearing this, Hao Zhen knew that he had completely shocked the two people in front of him. He raised his head and snorted with disdain, saying, "She is the precious goddaughter of Mother Hu of "Zhenyunlou". If you touch a hair of her, Mother Hu will peel off your skin."

In Lin'an City, no one didn't know that Mother Hu of "Zhenyunlou" had connections with everyone, from the dignitaries in the capital to the commanders and generals at the border. They couldn't afford to offend any of them. After hearing this, the bartender's face was filled with flattery, and he quickly apologized: "Hey, these two holes in my eye sockets are for venting anger. Please don't remember my faults. I didn't know gold and jade. I'm sorry, sorry."

Hao Zhen saw that although they had apologized, they had no intention of leaving. He knew clearly that they were here to ask for money for the meal. Thinking about the few taels of silver that the girls gave him to buy rouge and powder, he said: "Isn't it just a few taels of meal money? Could it be that the Pillow Cloud Tower owed you money? No?"

The two bartenders nodded and said in a rogue tone: "Alas, your "Zhenyunlou" is rich and powerful, with tens of thousands of taels of silver in and out every day. A few taels of silver are of course not worth mentioning, but we are a small business and never owe. A few taels of silver is a bit stingy, but this is the source of our food and clothing. If my words just now offended you, please forgive me."

Haozhen asked them: "How much silver does he owe you in total?"

The two bartenders rolled their eyes, and it seemed that they wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail Haozhen. How could their expressions fool Hao Zhen? Hao Zhen said calmly, "Don't cheat me. Although our Madam Hu is very wealthy, she has always been frugal. If she knew someone cheated her out of money, she would have her own way to get it back double."

The bartender heard it carefully and said quickly, "How dare I?"

Then he pretended to look at it and calculated for a while, thinking that he could get some money without leaving any trace, and then he said, "The gentleman just now ate a total of 3 taels and 6 coins of food, but he smashed our two bottles of 30-year-old Huadiao. This money..."

Although Hao Zhen didn't know how much the 30-year-old Huadiao was worth, he knew it must be worth a lot of money when he saw them hesitating. The silver he had on him was probably not enough, so he took out the money in his arms. He took out the silver and handed it to the two bartenders, saying, "Carry the official lying on the ground to the 'Zhenyun Tower'. This is a reward for you. As for your loss, I will explain it to Mother Hu, and you will not be short of silver."

The bartender received the order and said with a smile, "Oh, thank you for the reward, young master. You are the good boy next to the God of Wealth. You use the sieve to sift the silver. We follow and pick up some of the silver foam that leaks from the sieve. It is enough for us to live for most of our lives. You accumulate blessings and live a long life. Thank you again for your reward."

For people like them, the silver earned in a year is not enough for a cup of tea in the "Zhenyun Tower", so the "Zhenyun Tower" is basically their restricted area. This time they can open their eyes for free inside, no wonder they are so happy. I guess after they come out, they will brag to others that they have been to the "Zhenyun Tower" and have smelled the mouths of the girls there and touched the breasts of a girl.

This is the bad nature of men, especially men who have been in the market for many years.

After arriving at the "Zhenyun Tower", Mother Hu threw a ten-liang barefoot gold ingot to each of the two bartenders. The two bartenders kept nodding and thanked Mother Hu profusely. They knew that this was not a place for people like them, so the two greedily looked at the beautiful women in the "Zhenyun Tower", swallowed a few mouthfuls of greed, and left unwillingly.

At this time, Yunniang, Liu Yixian and Mother Hu all rushed over. Mother Hu helped Xin Qiji find a bed and helped Xin Qiji lie down. Xin Qiji was already unconscious, with several bruises and abrasions on his face and body, and he kept muttering: "Kill the thief! Kill the thief!"

Yunniang and Liu Yixian were suspicious and asked, "What happened? He was fine two days ago, how come Jiaxuan became so miserable after two days of absence?"

Mother Hu sighed and said, "It's Zhao Ruyu. He reported to the court that Jiaxuan had recruited soldiers privately. Jiaxuan's military power has been reduced."

Yunniang brought a basin of warm water and wrung a towel to wipe Xin Qiji gently. Her eyes were full of pity and love.

Mother Hu saw it and was happy in her heart. Yunniang has always had high standards and it is rare for her to find someone she likes. In Mother Hu's mind, only a hero like Xin Qiji can match her. Mother Hu secretly touched a few people around the bed and winked at them. Haozhen and the others understood and followed Mother Hu, leaving the room quietly and helping to close the door.

Although Xin Qiji was frustrated, with Yunniang's tenderness by his side, I believe Xin Qiji will cheer up again.
