Chapter 63 The Old Place
Chu Xiaomeng thought of the inn where she and Danqing stayed after sneaking out of the Chu Mansion. It was really hard to describe. Even if it was expensive, it had such facilities and services. If Chu Xiaomeng hadn't been short of money at that time and was in a hurry.
Looking for a place to stay, she would never stay in that hotel even if she died.
Wang Youfeng waved his hand and asked people to go down. How could he be in the mood to look at the ledger now?
Unexpectedly, the waiter didn't just go on like this, and insisted on asking Wang Youfeng to check the account books, "Sir! It took a lot of effort for you to come here. You don't know when you will come next time. By then, the account books will be piled up even higher, and it will be even more difficult."
Good to check."
Chu Xiaomeng finally saw the waiter's dilemma. Other shopkeepers were always guarding their own shop day and night. It was better for Wang Youfeng, who had not been here for more than a month. Otherwise, why would the accounts have piled up so much?
"Okay, just put it over here. I'll look at it later." Chu Xiaomeng is here. Wang Youfeng doesn't know why, but he always feels that Chu Xiaomeng looks at him in a weird way, as if his behavior is shameful.
Same.
The waiter left the account book and then left.
Chu Xiaomeng was particularly interested in the ancient account books. She went around and took a look. Every line on the page was written neatly. The writing skills were also very good, but it was a pity that she couldn't understand a single word.
, I can only understand some numbers in front of me.
"One hundred taels?" Chu Xiaomeng guessed and answered casually. Wang Youfeng looked over and explained: "This table ordered several plates of the store's special dishes, and also asked the singer to sing...
Huh? Why doesn’t this order feel right? It’s July...the seventh day of the lunar month? That’s no wonder, I received a lot less money on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month.”
Chu Xiaomeng was dumbfounded as she listened to Wang Youfeng read the account book, and was shocked by the sky-high fees! She even heard that they undercharged a hundred taels of money! Just like that, she only charged a hundred taels? Chu Xiaomeng thought of herself, she
Now in Prince Yan's Mansion, she is struggling for her first one hundred taels. According to her budget, if nothing goes wrong, she should be able to make up enough by June next year. Compare this account book
With the amount on the list, I can’t help but complain, capitalists are capitalists! The job she performs should be the so-called cheap labor here.
How can people balance this? With such a huge disparity in economic income, how can ordinary people live and work in peace and contentment and jointly build a happy and beautiful society? Chu Xiaomeng doesn't know how many times she has expressed dissatisfaction with this ancient society where royal power is monopolized!
Of course, Chu Xiaomeng sighed in her heart and complained angrily and dissatisfiedly.
Wang Youfeng took this opportunity to just read the account books here, but he also left someone to help. The abacus clicked loudly, making the room even quieter.
This elegant room is well decorated. It can be seen that some thought has been put into it from the design to the furnishings. The gadgets are very exquisite. There are many things that Chu Xiaomeng can't name. It's just a pity that she doesn't have the thought now.
Pay attention to these. She was sitting in this room, but she kept looking outside. The door of the private room was closed, blocking out a lot of noise. Only the scattered footsteps could be heard when someone passed by.
, but you could tell that he was trying his best to slow down his pace. Perhaps it was because the rooms on this floor were all hosting distinguished guests.
I don’t know if it was because Chu Xiaomeng had been uneasy for too long, but there was a sound at the door. The next second, someone pushed the door open and came in. Chu Xiaomeng saw the person at a glance, and her heart was lifted when she saw it.
At that moment, Prince Yan finally let go completely.
Chu Xiaomeng went up to him and looked at Prince Yan up and down, "My lord, are you not injured?"
The urgency in her tone was immediately noticeable, coupled with the undisguised worry in her eyes. At this moment, Prince Yan saw many things he had never seen before in her eyes.
I don't know if her eyes were tugging at a certain place in his heart, but I heard his voice sounding without hesitation the next moment, "I'm fine."
Chu Xiaomeng looked at Prince Yan's body and found no wounds. She was about to say something when she heard Prince Yan say, "Why are you still here?"
?Chu Xiaomeng was stunned for a moment, shouldn’t I be here?
Wang Youfeng put down his account book a long time ago. After hearing what Prince Yan said, he looked at him sharply the next second. That look was clearly accusing him of making his own decisions. Wang Youfeng felt aggrieved, even though this was their "
"Old place", I usually don't bring other people here, but I don't know what you mean, who knows that this girl Chu Xiaomeng is not someone else.
"This...isn't this a bad way to go to the palace? If you go to the palace and then come back, I guess you won't be able to see me now. Besides, the little cute girl has been worried about you, and she feels uneasy when she says she hasn't seen you.
...I have no choice but to..." Wang Youfeng's words really made it clear that Prince Yan could not blame him.
It wasn't until Prince Yan looked at her with a look that said, "Is this true?" Chu Xiaomeng suddenly realized that Prince Yan didn't intend to let her wait for him here. If he had known she would have slept in the palace.
, as if someone likes to sit here and worry blindly. Chu Xiaomeng feels very uncomfortable now, and there is another stone blocked there, making it impossible to get up or down.
Obviously, everything they did was for her own good, and nothing seemed to make her sad. But Chu Xiaomeng was just sad. She clearly felt that she was excluded. She was like a
It's unnecessary. Fortunately, she has been worrying about him here for so long. In the end, it was her own fault.
I don’t know if he noticed that Chu Xiaomeng seemed unhappy, but Prince Yan finally stopped looking at her. He glanced at the two thick account books that Wang Youfeng had just read, and said in advance before Wang Youfeng had time to pretend to be sick: "Surprisingly,
The account books are all here, Wang Xiaoba, then I’ll leave them all to you.”
Anyway, we can't talk today, it's getting late, Chu Xiaomeng is still here, she must be frightened thinking about what happened just now, it's better to send her back to her house as soon as possible.
Wang Youfeng was still thinking about how to evade it, but there was no room in Prince Yan's eyes for him to admit defeat.
It was already midnight, and the doors and windows of the shops that were open at night were gradually closed. Apart from the sound of the clock chiming in the streets, the only sounds left were the barking of dogs coming from the deep alleys and the sound of crickets in small corners.
Chu Xiaomeng silently followed behind Prince Yan, not too far nor too close, with a distance of two steps. If she fell behind, she would walk faster, and if she was closer, she would walk slower. There was never anyone walking in front of her.
I looked back to see if she was following me, but I just walked in front to lead the way.
Prince Yan said that his carriage and servants had returned to the palace first, so they had to walk back. Chu Xiaomeng didn't care. Although she knew that Wang Youfeng had just spent a lot of money to buy a carriage, she didn't want to take the carriage now.
, let alone sit in the same car with Prince Yan.
She was just about to catch the night wind, let herself be quiet, and sort out her emotions. This senseless discomfort enveloped her, and she felt that her whole body was about to be overwhelmed by this emotion. With the help of the night
The wind was blowing, and she was sober.
If nothing unexpected happened, Chu Xiaomeng felt that she had a good time tonight, ate well, and saw a lot of things. Prince Yan was also different from when he was in the palace.
Stiff, at least Chu Xiaomeng can still discuss with Prince Yan which dish is good, and listen to Prince Yan tell her his own story.
I met a new friend here again. I don’t know if Prince Yan’s friends can be considered her friends, but for Chu Xiaomeng, she knows too few people in this world. Although Wang Youfeng has a very familiar temperament
, but also very individual, not to mention good looks. If in modern times, she had a friend who was so good-looking and very rich, she wouldn't know how many days she would be bragging about him.
She was indeed frightened tonight. Apart from being chased that time, this was the second time Chu Xiaomeng encountered murder here. Although the murder target may not be her, the murder target had worried her for a long time.
In fact, she probably shouldn't feel that way. After all, it's someone else's business. After all, his kung fu is so powerful that there shouldn't be many people who can hurt him. And even if he is injured, it shouldn't be her turn to worry. She suffered the injury last time.
His injuries were so serious that he almost had tinnitus, but he had to be cured! The dignified Prince Yan, there was no shortage of people who cared about him. Although she came out tonight with Prince Yan, but in the end she
In other words, she is a weak woman who cannot wield a sword or a spear, nor can she protect Prince Yan. Even if Prince Yan is injured, no one will blame her.
However, the spontaneous worry in her heart was real. Chu Xiaomeng explained it by her loyalty to Prince Yan and that it was her duty. But since it is a duty, people should be here.
, why is she still sad? No one made her worry, so what is there to be sad about?
Chu Xiaomeng walked dully, her eyes seemed to be glued to the ground. It was too dark all around, so she didn't dare to look. She only dared to look at the ground and follow the shadows.
At this time, there was a pebble lying in front of her. Chu Xiaomeng couldn't control her legs and kicked it up. Only when she kicked it did she realize that Prince Yan was two steps away from her.
They all trembled and stared nervously at the pebble rolling forward. Fortunately, the pebble stopped before it almost hit Lord Yan's heel the next second, causing Chu Xiaomeng to let out a big sigh of relief.
Darling, she just can't control this leg. She is used to kicking pebbles, and she will kick them when she sees pebbles. This action looks very handsome, and it can really relieve stress. But if you kick it,
It wouldn’t be a relief to know Prince Yan...
