The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 36

[Chapter 36 There must be a monster]

“No need to be polite.”

Fang Xiu waved his hand and asked, “What’s going on with these people?”

Shopkeeper Lu looked back and saw more than a dozen ‘corpse’ lying on the ground and on the table.

He turned around and said respectfully: “They just got drunk from the young master.”

Fang Xiu nodded: “I understand.”

The scene in front of him was what he expected.

These people regard highly distilled liquor as rice wine, and it is normal for them to get drunk like this.

Shopkeeper Lu bowed and said, “Master, the Accord is full. I will send someone to clear a room for you.”

“Don’t bother me. Just ask the chef to make two dishes.”

Fang Xiu said casually.

“Yes, young master.”

The restaurant owner bowed and turned around to retreat.

It was the Lantern Festival, and there were not many free tables in Chunfeng Building, so Fang Xiu randomly found a seat to sit down.

He called the boy again and added three chairs.

There were chairs, but Bai Xiaochun and Xiu’er refused to sit down and just stood behind him.

He greeted them repeatedly before the two of them agreed to sit down.

Zhao Yan sat next to him early.

The group of people sat down while the kitchen was serving food.

She suddenly said in a voice as thin as a mosquito’s fly: “I will definitely pay back what I owe you in the future.”

Fang Xiu looked at her, smiled, and said, “I have written it down. If you don’t pay it back by then, I will pay you back.” The reporting officer will arrest you.”

Zhao Yan rolled her eyes at Fang Xiu angrily: “You’re a cheapskate!”

“Sir, your food is here, please use it slowly.”

Most of the servants in Chunfeng Tower are new recruits. I had never met Fang Xiu before, so I only treated him as an ordinary diner without being too courteous.

After putting the dishes down, he went to greet other guests.

They said they were just making two dishes, but what was served was a variety of delicacies from mountains and seas, covering the small table.

Before leaving the house, he had already had dinner, and even though the table was full of delicacies, it failed to arouse Fang Xiu’s interest.

Xiu’er, on the other hand, looked at the freshly fried sugar cakes on the table eagerly, her mouth watering.

The Anping House is a family that has lasted for more than two hundred years, and the rules in the house are strict.

Servants have no chance to dine at the same table as their masters.

Even Xiu’er, a favored personal maid, has never had dinner with Madam.

That is to say, after following Fang Xiu, I can occasionally get a few pieces of cake.

Therefore, Fang Xiu didn’t move his chopsticks, and Xiu’er and Bai Xiaochun didn’t dare to move either.

As for Zhao Yan, she really wanted to taste the golden fried sugar cake with an alluring aroma.

But he didn’t look sideways, pretending to be uninterested.

After half a stick of incense had passed, Fang Xiu, who was stunned, realized that the dishes on the table had not been touched, and asked: “Why don’t you eat the dishes?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Zhao Yan say: “I’m not hungry.

Bai Xiaochun said: “I don’t dare.” “

I want you to eat and it’s not like going to the border to fight, so why don’t you dare?

“

Having traveled from Earth, Fang Xiu does not have as strong a class concept as the ancients.

Therefore, he didn’t notice this. He was stunned for a moment before reacting and said: “I’m not hungry, you guys can eat first.”

Bai Xiaochun lowered his head and said, “Young ones are not hungry either.”

Fang Xiu looked helplessly at the person beside him. Xiuer.

Xiu’er was staring at the candy cakes on the table when she noticed Fang Xiu’s gaze. She quickly lowered her head and whispered: “Xiu’er, Xiu’er isn’t hungry either.”

Fang Xiu shook his head, picked up the chopsticks, and A piece of candy cake was placed in Xiuer’s bowl.

“Eat something even if you’re not hungry. If you don’t eat, you’ll be cold.”

Xiu’er’s pretty face turned red and she whispered, “Thank you, Master.”

Her voice was soft and waxy, like honey, which made Fang Xiu feel inexplicably comfortable.

A girl like Xiu’er, who is both sweet and salty, gentle and yet lively, would be impossible to find on earth even with a lantern.

From this point of view, traveling to ancient times may not be a bad thing.

But

not all women are like Xiu’er, just like the one next to her.

She has a bad temper, is willful, and has small breasts.

Apart from her pretty face and longer legs than the average girl, she has almost no other advantages.

Fang Xiu looked at Zhao Yan.

Suddenly I felt that her running away from marriage might not be a bad thing for her future husband.

Noticing Fang Xiu’s strange look, Zhao Yan glared at him.

He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of candy cake, put it in his mouth, and took a bite.

Fang Xiu originally wanted to ask her: Aren’t you hungry?

After thinking about it, I decided to forget it.

To him, Zhao Yan was just a passer-by in his life. It was fate, so he might as well leave a beautiful memory.

If they separate in the future, the two of them will occasionally think of this past event and still have a smile on their lips.

Half an hour later, after eating and drinking, Fang Xiu was about to greet the three of them to get up, when he suddenly saw an old Taoist priest with white beard and white eyebrows walking in.

The old Taoist priest was wearing a clean Taoist robe, holding a mahogany sword in his left hand and a copper compass in his right hand.

There was a yellow talisman on the tip of the sword, and he was walking with strange steps and muttering something in his mouth.

With just one glance, I saw this posture that I have seen countless times in movies and TV series, and I am no longer familiar with it.

Fang Xiu knew what trick the old Taoist priest was planning to play.

Zhao Yan was full of curiosity and looked at the old Taoist priest with interest.

The restaurant owner saw the old Taoist priest and hurriedly came up.

He took out a few copper plates from his sleeves, put them on the compass, and whispered: “The Taoist cares about the people and works hard to catch monsters. I hope the Taoist will accept this little money.”

This kind of magician is very popular in the capital. Outside, you can often see it.

It’s nothing more than playing some tricks on ordinary people’s awe of ghosts and gods, hoping to gain benefits from it.

Generally, you can send them away with a few copper coins or a simple meal.

If you encounter someone who is ignorant, the police will arrest him and he will inevitably spend a period of time in jail.

The restaurant business will also be affected to a certain extent.

Therefore, it gradually became a tacit understanding that the merchants would give money and the Taoist priests would leave.

At this time, the old Taoist priest’s tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, he stared at the restaurant manager in front of him, and said sternly: “The evil spirit here is so strong, there must be evil spirits at work. If we let it go, life will be ruined!” When

the restaurant manager heard this, he said, His face darkened, he looked at him and said coldly: “Master Taoist, please don’t talk nonsense. Our store has been operating for decades and we have never heard of any ghosts or monsters.”

After he finished speaking, He took out a few coins from his cuffs.

Unexpectedly, the old Taoist priest suddenly said loudly: “It’s impossible, there must have been an evildoer here!”

Just now, when the old Taoist priest appeared, the diners were already talking about it.

Hearing these words at this moment, the restaurant suddenly exploded.

“The female ghost in white clothes, that old Taoist priest is talking about the female ghost in white clothes!”

“It turns out that the legends are true, there really is a female ghost in white clothes in Chunfeng Tower!”

“This old Taoist priest, no, the old immortal, I’m afraid there is something Really capable.”

“Shopkeeper Lu, why don’t you ask the old god for help? She’s a female ghost in white.”
