Chapter 34 Gifts
Xu Chen was watching the Jianghu Records at Fulai Inn. It took an afternoon to see it. When he realized it, it was already a little dark.
Xu Chen did not read this Jianghu record in vain. He learned a lot of things in the Jianghu. He knew that the Jianghu sects were mainly divided into three sects and six sects, and of course there were some very famous Jianghu sects, but they were somewhat pale in comparison with the Three sects and Six sects.
Seeing that it was a little late, Xu Chen quickly got up and wanted to go to Qingfeng Hall, and politely declined the kindness of Manager Li staying for dinner, and returned the Jianghu record. After all, he had already remembered most of the content and information, so he didn't need it.
When they arrived at Qingfeng Pavilion, Xu Chen asked the madam, but unexpectedly, Xiao Lian and the others didn't come out of the boudoir, and even the food was solved.
Xu Chen buckled the door and entered Shi Yin's room. As soon as he entered, he saw three people fighting, scratching me and I scratching you, and even Shi Yin was involved. If he hadn't heard the happy laughter of them, he would have thought they had started fighting. Everyone was dressed in disheveled clothes, and Xiao Lian's outer robe was torn off and threw it to the ground. Although the spring scenery would not suddenly appear, it was extremely indecent.
When several people saw Xu Chen enter the door, their hands stopped moving, and their faces were a little stiff.
"You...why don't you knock on the door when you come in!" Xiao Lian was the first to attack.
Xu Chen smiled bitterly: "I knocked, but you can't hear it even if you have such a happy time."
Xiao Lian blushed, picked up the pillow beside him and left it to Xu Chen: "Go out quickly!"
Xu Chen raised his hand and took the pillow, smiled and shook his head out of the room.
"Xiao Lian, that pillow is mine!" As soon as Shi Yin closed the door, the sound came out. After all, the pillow was a daily necessity in Shi Yin's boudoir, so it was not good to take it away for the man like this.
"Ah? Why don't you call him to get it back?"
"Forget it."
Xu Chen was very happy to see Shiyin being able to make friends with Xiao Lian and Lin Miaomiao. He put the pillow on the chair in the living room and shouted across the door: "Miss, it's time to go back soon, I'll go down and wait for you first."
"knew!"
After receiving the response, Xu Chen went downstairs to prepare for the return trip. As soon as he arrived at the backyard where the carriage was parked, he saw the carriage and the guards sitting and dozing off.
Xu Chen smiled and woke up the few people, asked them to prepare the carriage, and then pulled the carriage to the front building.
"Young Master Xu."
As soon as Xu Chen arrived at the front building, he saw the madam shouting at him: "What's wrong?"
"Do you have to settle the expenses today?" the madam asked with a smile.
"oh?"
"Mr. Xu's food and drinks at Qingfeng Pavilion have been considered as Miss Shiyin's girl, but today is a little different." The madam explained: "The food I just delivered to the room is not counted, but it's still a bit difficult for these servants to pay for the expenses. After all, I can't always let Miss Shiyin take the order, don't you?"
Xu Chen understood that the expenses of the few of them were basically paid by Shi Yin, but the madam could not ask Shi Yin for money. It must be deducted from Shi Yin's wages, but even so, it cannot always be like this. There is no reason to make money for employees.
"It's okay, how much?" Xu Chen said with a smile.
"It's not too much, it's only fifteen taels."
"How much did you say?" Xu Chen was shocked.
Seeing Xu Chen's appearance, the madam quickly explained: "Young Master Xu, listen to my explanation. It's not that Aunt Jia wants to cheat Mr. Xu, your money, but that you have a few servants..."
It turned out that the guards and grooms were bored in the backyard, so they found a seat on the first floor to order some food. This was nothing. After all, the food was not much. The main reason was that they ordered three sisters from Qingfeng Pavilion to come and sing music with the table. Qingfeng Pavilion was originally doing this business, so the expenses were naturally high. The madam touched a fraction of the fifteen taels.
Xu Chen's head hurts a little. He knows that the servants of wealthy families have this problem. They do things that are easy to do with fake tiger power and public food and drink, but this is not the reason why he can continue to watch.
However, Xu Chen had no money on him, so he could only take a deep breath and slowly said, "It's okay, report it to the Xiao Mansion. Just come and settle it if you have time."
The evil bourgeoisie...
The madam also knew that most people who come to Qingfeng Pavilion to spend money will not bring so much money with them, and they basically choose to report accounts, so they do not disdain Xu Chen's behavior of reporting accounts, but even if they report accounts, they have to let the in charge know where the expenses are, otherwise they would not just go to someone else's house to settle the bill.
When Xu Chen left at the entrance of Qingfeng Pavilion, the groom had already prepared the carriage, and the guards were waiting for him at the door with white horses. Looking at them with a cold look on their faces, as if today's expenses were just right, and they were not ashamed at all, which made Xu Chen unable to get angry. After all, he was not from the Xiao family, but just a worker.
When the guard saw Xu Chen coming out, he smiled and handed him the reins. Xu Chen took it with a stern face without saying a word.
Why is Mr. Xu so bad? Wasn't he doing well just now? The guard blinked his eyes and didn't dare to speak, for fear of getting into trouble.
Not long after Xu Chen got on the horse, Xiao Lian and Lin Miaomiao came down.
We were going to send Lin Miaomiao to the Lin Mansion first, and then back to the Xiao family. Xiao Lian and the others seemed very happy today. They were talking and laughing in the carriage on the way to the Lin Mansion. It was not until Lin Miaomiao got home and got off the carriage that Xiao Lian noticed that Xu Chen's face seemed not very good, but she couldn't ask anything through the curtain of the car.
Xu Chen realized that after he practiced the "Clean Heart Mantra", it seemed that some negative emotions could always be suppressed quickly. For example, when he was just on the horse, he still felt that this matter was no big deal. Thinking that the "Clean Heart Mantra" is at least a Buddhist internal skill, Xu Chen also accepted his internal skill characteristics.
When he returned to Xiao's mansion and handed the horses to the guards, Xu Chen said hello to Xiao Lian and went back to the room. He wanted to go back and practice his internal skills as soon as possible.
Xiao Lian, who originally wanted to ask Xu Chen, snorted secretly when he saw this, muttering in his heart: Who cares about your life or death!
Xu Chen didn't know that he had invisibly angered Miss Xiao again. In fact, he is not a person with extremely low EQ. If you want to blame, you can only blame the women of this generation for being so tactful and tactful, and they always have too many concerns.
After entering the room, he saw three gift boxes placed in the living room. Xu Chen was surprised to call someone over and asked. It turned out that it was sent by Zhang Yun, the Zhang family. Thanks to Xu Chen for his previous favor for helping him. He also left a message to ask him to go to Zhang family if he had time and said he had something to ask for.
After Xu Chen asked the maid to leave, he was a little interested in these three gift boxes. He opened the first box, which was a beautiful folding fan. He knew it was of high quality as soon as he touched the wood. When he opened it, he saw that the fan was calligraphy and painting the beautiful scenery of the country on both sides. Unfortunately, Xu Chen only knew it was good but did not appreciate it.
After putting down the folding fan, he opened the second box. There was a brush in the box. Xu Chen couldn't tell whether it was good or bad. However, I believe that the things Zhang Yun gave were definitely not cheap. I thought that the brush would be fine if I returned to Huangjia Village to send Huang Ying'er, and I could teach her to read and write.
"Why did Zhang Yun only give these literary items?" Xu Chen muttered.
This third box is a bit special, five feet long but not wide. When I opened it, I felt like Xu Chen and actually had a long sword with exquisite workmanship!
