The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 24

[Chapter 24 Tears of gratitude]

Fang Xiu had a look of astonishment on his face and asked, “Really five hundred taels?”

The restaurant owner wiped his tears and said, “Master, we really can’t have any more.”

Fang Xiu looked at him and sighed, Said: “In order to buy this Chunfeng Restaurant, I originally prepared five thousand taels of silver notes. Since you insist on only five hundred taels, then I will listen to you.”

The restaurant manager was startled at first, then his expression changed drastically, and he blurted out: ” Five thousand taels!?”

“Yes, five thousand taels.”

Fang Xiu nodded.

After receiving the affirmative answer, the restaurant owner seemed to have had all his strength drained from his body. He collapsed on the ground and murmured: “Silver, my silver…”

On the side, Wang Baole’s eyes widened and he looked at Fang Xiu in disbelief. .

Is this man crazy? For five thousand taels of silver, you can buy a haunted restaurant?

This haunted restaurant is having trouble getting customers.

Fang Xiu glanced at the frustrated shopkeeper, shook his head, and said to Bai Xiaochun: “Xiaochun, give this shopkeeper five hundred taels of silver and send someone to keep watch tomorrow. From now on, this Chunfeng Restaurant will be ours.” The family’s property is gone.”

He had asked someone to inquire about the value of Chunfeng Tower before, and it was about ten thousand taels.

After the incident with the female ghost in white, the value was reduced by half, which was beyond his imagination.

Unexpectedly, it depreciated directly to five hundred taels.

It seems that in ancient times, the power of this theory of ghosts and gods was more powerful than he imagined.

“Yes, Master.”

Bai Xiaochun took out a wad of banknotes from his chest and began to rummage through them.

The restaurant owner who was slumped on the ground saw the thick stack of banknotes and confirmed that what Fang Xiu just said was true. He felt even more heartbroken and felt dizzy and spinning.

Bai Xiaochun rummaged for a moment, then looked up at Fang Xiu and said, “Master, I didn’t bring five hundred taels of silver notes when I went out this time.”

Fang Xiu thought for a while and asked, “Is there any one thousand taels?”

Bai Xiaochun said. : “Yes.”

Fang Xiu glanced at the restaurant owner who seemed to be about to faint, and said, “Then give him one thousand taels.”

“Yes, young master.”

Bai Xiaochun took out a banknote from a stack of silver notes and squatted down. body and handed it to the restaurant manager.

The restaurant owner was like a puppet, taking the bank note in a daze without saying a word.

After a moment, he came to his senses, got up, gave a bow, and said in a trembling voice: “I don’t have any money with me. When I get back, I’ll let the servants do it.”

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Fang Xiu With a big wave of his hand, he said very boldly: “I am happy that I have made my first business today. These five hundred taels of silver will be rewarded to you.”

When the restaurant manager heard this, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes were moist, and he trembled. He said: “Young Master has a kind heart, I can’t thank you enough.”

On the side, Wang Baole looked shocked again and looked at Fang Xiu blankly.

That’s five hundred taels of silver!

Is it just a reward?

You know, in the capital, a well-to-do family only spends twenty taels of silver a year

. It’s so prodigal!

If his brother Wang Fugui did this, he would strangle him to death.

Fang Xiu couldn’t bear to see the restaurant owner looking so miserable.

He originally just wanted to use the money in his hands to buy more shops in the city

, but he didn’t expect that he would force these shop owners to do this.

Actually… I feel a little uneasy about my conscience.

Fang Xiu struggled internally for a moment, and finally made a decision, laughing and saying: “Yes, yes, I am the most kind-hearted man. Based on your words, I cannot let you suffer today. I said five thousand before.” Two is five thousand taels, no less than one tael.”

He patted the restaurant manager on the shoulder with one hand, stretched out his other hand in front of Bai Xiaochun, and said loudly: “Xiaochun, silver note!”

Bai Xiaochun showed hesitation on his face. He put his color next to Fang Xiu’s ear and whispered: “Master, this place is haunted, it’s not worth five thousand taels at all.”

Fang Xiu glared at him and said angrily: “Do you believe in ghosts and gods? Put the silver Bring me the tickets. When did my words not count?”

Bai Xiaochun put the banknotes in Fang Xiu’s hand dejectedly and said aggrievedly, “Yes, young master.”

The restaurant manager’s eyes widened when he heard this.

He held his breath, and suddenly felt a sudden sense of happiness, which made him dizzy and almost fainted.

Fortunately, Fang Xiu had quick eyesight and quick hands, and supported him.

The restaurant owner finally came to his senses, and knelt down on the ground with a plop, with tears streaming down his face excitedly, and cried: “Young Master is so righteous, I’m so grateful, I’m so grateful, I’m so grateful.”

On the side, Wang Baole looked at the scene that happened in front of him, as if He was stunned and murmured: “Crazy, really crazy.”

Zhao Yan, who was standing next to Fang Xiu, looked at him with a strange expression, as if he was hesitant to speak.

Fang Xiu’s face actually turned red when he saw the restaurant manager kneeling in front of him, thanking him again and again with tears in his eyes.

I’m actually… a little embarrassed. After all, the incident with the ghost in white was caused by myself.

“That’s enough. It’s just five thousand taels of silver. What’s there to thank you for?”

After hearing what Fang Xiu said, the restaurant owner hurriedly wiped away his tears and stood up straight.

But when he thought that the restaurant that was originally worth only 500 taels had sold 5,000 taels, he couldn’t hold back the excitement in his heart, and his eyes were filled with tears unknowingly.

Finally, he couldn’t bear it anymore and cried loudly. While crying, he shouted: “Little one, little one can’t control myself”

on the carriage.

Zhao Yan looked weird and didn’t say anything, just staring at Fang Xiu.

Fang Xiu was a little frightened by her stare. He touched his face and asked, “Is there something on my face?”

Zhao Yan shook her head.

“Then what do you want me to do?”

Fang Xiu asked.

Zhao Yan moved closer to Fang Xiu and said doubtfully: “I don’t understand. You stayed up in the middle of the night and ran to the south of the city, pretending to be a female ghost. Isn’t it just to buy the shops on that street with the least amount of money?

You obviously You have already succeeded, why did you change your mind?”

Fang Xiu looked at her and said seriously: “I said that at the last moment, my conscience found out, do you believe it?”

Zhao Yan shook her head and said, “If you have a conscience, then You

won’t force me to cry like a female ghost over a broken tea cup.”

Fang Xiu smiled: “You are right, I just have no conscience. The reason why I did what I did just now is entirely because of me. I’m happy.

It’s hard to buy a lot of money for me. I’m happy to buy a haunted restaurant with five thousand taels. It’s a lot of money.”

Zhao Yan knew that he was joking, so she snorted with disdain, tilted her head and scolded. “A dog can’t spit out ivory,” said

Fang Xiu. Looking at her delicate and pretty face, a different feeling suddenly arose in his heart, and he asked, “By the way, after living together for so many days, I still don’t know. Which family are you from?”

Zhao Yan had a hint of panic in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

She glared at Fang Xiu and said angrily: “I guess who lives with you, I won’t tell you!”

Fang Xiu thought for a while and said: “The surname Zhao is the surname of today’s country, and there are not many families with the surname Zhao in the capital. , there are only a few women in the boudoir, so I guess

you are the Princess Anle who His Majesty is afraid of not being able to marry, so he plans to marry me.”
