My Sisters Excel in Both Literary and Martial Arts - Chapter 201

[Chapter 200 Not much, four hundred taels! (Second update)]

Su Xinping was stunned.

Slowly passing through my mind:

Who am I? where am I? What am I doing?

Why do you come up here and ask me for money?

Ever since, he cast a doubtful look at Jing Zhe.

Jing Zhe asked patiently.

“Are you the host of today’s banquet?”

“Yes.”

Su Xinping nodded cautiously, fearing that he would accidentally fall into the pit.

“A banquet cannot be complete without a bar?”

“Yes.”

“The wine must also be a good bar?”

“Yes.”

“Our spirits can be considered a good bar?”

“Your Majesty has said so, so naturally it can be…”

” So, I brought the liquor, and I didn’t want the errand fees or hard work fees. Persimmon just gave me the money for the liquor!”

“…”

When Jing Zhe said this, Su Xinping actually felt that it made sense. It looks like it’s just four jars of strong wine, so give it to you!

So he took out a fifty-tael silver note from his clothes – only when he came back in the morning did he realize that he had accidentally given a one-hundred-tael silver note to Jing Zhe. What a regret!

So he learned a lesson and only took out fifty taels this time, thinking that four jars of strong liquor would be enough.

But Jing Zhe didn’t reach out and looked at him angrily.

“Persimmon, I thought you invited me here for a drink and a banquet because you were sincerely trying to clear up the past feud with me, but I didn’t expect you to insult me!”

Seeing Jing Zhe’s aggrieved face, as if he had been raped, Su Xinping was almost angry. He used foul language: Labor and management are not as good as Long Yang, who the hell can insult a man? Is it evil?

“Stop talking nonsense! Who insulted you!”

Su Xinping lowered his voice and glanced at Feng Lianru.

Feng Lianru looked up at the sky: I can’t see anything!

“Persimmon wants to use this mere fifty taels to buy four jars of spirits. Isn’t this just like sending a beggar away? What else is it an insult?”

Damn…

it’s only fifty taels?

Send beggars away?

The beggar in your house calls someone other than Hanako every day, maybe it’s the girl from Fenfangyuan, right?

He gasped and asked in a cold voice: “Then how much do you want?”

Jing Zhe stretched out four fingers and said, “Not much, four hundred taels!”

“Ahem…”

Feng Lianru next to him couldn’t bear it anymore. , wanted to laugh but couldn’t, and finally coughed to cover it up, but also said: “My throat feels uncomfortable, you continue, continue…”

“Four hundred taels? Why don’t you go and grab it!”

“Give me a jar when we were on the boat in the morning. One hundred taels, four jars of fifty taels when we get off the boat – “

Hey, Jing Zhe has been here for so long, why doesn’t he come in?”

At this time, Prince Su Moyan’s voice came from the house.

“Your Highness, I am indeed here, but I’m talking to-“

“I’ll give it!”

Su Xinping was afraid that Jing Zhe would spill the beans and let Su Moyan know what happened last night, so he could only grit his teeth and agree.

“Have a few words with Persimmon and come in right away!”

After saying that, he stretched out his hand again happily.

When Su Xinping put the 400 taels of silver notes in Jing Zhe’s hand, he felt his liver hurt. He had already lost so much when the winery was taken back, but he spent another 500 taels in one day. It was so uncomfortable!

He stopped looking at Jing Zhe, turned around and walked back into the house.

“Hey, Persimmon, you won’t bring the wine?”

“Bring it in!”

Four hundred taels of silver have been spent, and you still want me to run errands?

Jing Zhe didn’t care and happily let Hanhan walk into the hall with him.

Feng Lianru behind him witnessed all this, looking at Jing Zhe’s tall and stalwart back, thinking that it seems that this and emotional intelligence are not the same…

When

Jing Zhe entered the front hall, Su Moyan stood up with a smile.

“Jing Zhe, you made me wait so hard!”

“…”

These words make people feel gay inside.

Jing Zhe smiled, cupped his hands and said, “Thank you for the invitation, Your Highness!”

“The invitation is indeed from me, but Xinping is the host. You can also thank him!”

“Really?”

Jing Zhe turned to look at Su. Xinping, Su Xinping quickly held their heads high and prepared to accept Jing Zhe’s thanks.

Four hundred taels of silver to buy a word of thanks is expensive!

But think about it, buying his life for four hundred taels is worth it!

Unexpectedly, Jing Zhe didn’t say thank you. Instead, he squinted at him and it took him a long time to utter two words.

“Haha.”

“…”

The scene became awkward instantly.

It seems that today’s banquet is still necessary. Jing Zhe has not forgiven Su Xinping!

The good old man Su Moyan thought this, and then came out with a smile to smooth things over and said: “Jing Zhe, I have prepared a table of fine wine and delicacies in the side hall. Let’s go over and have a drink and chat!”

After saying this, Su Moyan suddenly Then he glanced at the four wine jars in Hanhan’s hands and asked, “Is this… strong liquor?”

“Yes, Your Highness! This strong liquor… last night…”

Jing Zhe always felt that Su Xinping was afraid of saying last night in front of Su Moyan. As expected, he just mentioned it on purpose, and Su Xinping was already restless.

He immediately stood up and said, “Your Highness, Mr. Jing brought this liquor specially to His Highness when he heard that he was coming to the banquet!”

“What a Jing Zhe! I really saw you right! Now that I have this liquor, then This palace’s wine is not considered fine wine! Let’s drink it today!”

He said and walked out first.

“Your Highness, thank you!”

Jing Zhe followed Su Xinping out without even looking at him.

Feng Lianru, who was walking at the end, looked at Su Xinping’s lonely back with some pity: This is really loneliness that I bought with money!

…

In the side hall, on the dining table, chicken, duck, fish, and various dishes are already placed on it.

Seeing this scene, Jing Zhe swallowed.

Since he came out of the Yamen that day, he has never had such a banquet. This trip was worth it!

Hanhan put down the wine jar and was led to dine and wait in the room next to him. Su Moyan sat on the main seat, Jing Zhe sat at the bottom, and Su Xinping sat in the middle of the two.

Feng Lianru was the only one left in the room, and he did not serve the table. He seemed to be preparing to do some chores such as refilling the wine later.

Su Moyan originally asked someone to prepare a large bowl for drinking, but now it was replaced with strong wine. He asked someone to remove the large bowl and replace it with a small wine cup. Otherwise, he was afraid that after a few bowls of strong wine, they would really be ruined. .

After sitting down, Su Moyan raised the wine cup.

“Although I am not the host today, the banquet is held in the East Palace, so I will serve you the first glass of wine!”

Jing Zhe sat upright, waiting for the next step.

In fact, Jing Zhe’s attitude towards Su Moyan was still very complicated.

Through talking to him, I always feel that this prince is a bit naive. Even his guest’s city is much better than him. And because he is on good terms with Su Mochen, logically speaking, this person should be trustworthy. .

But he happened to hang out with a scum like Su Xinping, which made Jing Zhe have to be wary of him, so he was only enthusiastic on the surface but quite resistant in his heart.

“This cup should be regarded as my welcome to Jing Zhe’s first visit to the East Palace. Let’s do it!”

After saying that, he raised his head and drank it all.

With the lesson learned yesterday, Jing Zhe did not dare to drink too much. He also raised his head, but the wine was still in his mouth. Then he grabbed the teacup on the table and drank it as tea, then spit it out.
