Chapter 69—A Year of Creation (11)

She moved her eyes from Miss Xiang's face to Miss Xiang's ears and neck, and then to Master Xiang's face, and continued: "Master Xiang still owes me one hundred and one taels of gold from the Phoenix Tower!"

Master Xiang followed her line of sight, and it was only then that he discovered that Miss Xiang was actually wearing that brand new set of ruby jewelry today!

"Smack!" Master Xiang was annoyed and angry, got up suddenly on the spot, and turned around and slapped Miss Xiang.

That slap made Miss Xiang roll to the ground on the spot.

"Jingle bell!" There was a crisp sound, and Miss Xiang's hand wearing the new bracelet fell to the ground, and the ruby on the gold bracelet touched the ground. Miss Xiang raised her hand to check it for the first time. Fortunately, this ruby is of very high quality and has not been damaged in the slightest.

"Daddy...... Dad ......" Then, Miss Xiang covered her face and looked at her father in a daze.

It was only then that Master Xiang realized that he was out of shape. In the past, he has always maintained a good image of virtue and respect in front of people, but now it is all ruined. It's all because of this loser daughter in front of you!

Alas - also to blame him. The baby daughter who has been held in the palm of her hand since she was a child was spoiled by him.

"Of course, Zhen also counted one more day, Miss Xiang left the Phoenix Building before noon yesterday, so Miss Xiang should not be charged for yesterday's accommodation. Then, Master Xiang only needs to return one hundred taels ......," she said generously.

"Smack!" Master Xiang reached into his arms, took out a hundred taels of gold from a pile of silver tickets, slapped it on the table, and then walked out with his sleeves.

However, the gate of the Phoenix Building was crowded, and it was very embarrassing for the old man to walk out of the crowd for a while.

She first walked over and put away the silver ticket of one hundred taels of gold, and then saluted the dozen or so officials: "More officials and deacons are impartial." ”

Xiang Zhutou stepped forward and saluted back: "It should be." ”

At this time, she took out a silver ticket worth one hundred taels of silver, handed it to Xiang Zhutou in public, and said: "The grass people should have gone to the government to confront each other, but they bothered the officials to visit in person. This one hundred taels is the 'travel expenses' of all the officials today, and it should be. Please also ask the officials to do the grass people a small favor. There are a few more vacancies in the Phoenix Building of the grass people in the past few days, and they have to open the door to solicit business in the afternoon. Right now, the gate is crowded......"

Xiang Zhutou also happily accepted the one hundred taels of silver, and said, "It is also our duty to maintain order in the city. ”

The head of the hunt took a look at his men, who immediately went to the door to evacuate the crowd.

At this time, Miss Xiang was still kneeling on the ground and called helplessly: "Watch...... Cousin......"

Xiang Zhutou glanced at Miss Xiang on the ground, couldn't bear it, and helped her up, but said, "I'm not your cousin." As early as fifteen years ago, when Master Xiang and my mother broke off the friendship between brother and sister, you and I have long since had no relationship. ”

She was stunned for a moment, and then she understood. It's no wonder that there is a sense of tension between Xiang Catcher and Master Xiang and Miss Xiang. She should have thought of it a long time ago, they were all surnamed Xiang! It's just that the old man is rich, but the head of the family is ......

Miss Xiang said, "Cousin...... How can you be so ruthless? You know, your position as a headhunter is still my father'......" The tone instantly returned to the tone of the eldest lady's condescending voice.

Xiang Tou smiled speechlessly, looked at Miss Xiang's eyes and returned to coldness, and said, "Master Xiang only knew out of nowhere on the second day when I became the head catcher, and immediately pretended to do his best to send Lord Qin and my mother a box of gold and silver. Lord Qin and my mother both accepted it. Lord Qin originally knew your father, and it has nothing to do with me. My mother's ...... That box is also the ancestral property she deserves! Ten boxes of dowry, all of which were deducted by your father. My mother, she's ...... Even so, when your father came to the humble house in person, my mother still remembered the old relationship with your father, and longed to call your father 'brother'. But your father never mentioned that he recognized my mother's own sister. Seeing that I was not at home, I made an excuse and hurriedly left my house, which was so simple and full of the smell of medicine. ”

Where does Miss Xiang know so much? Since the day when Master Xiang severed relations with Aunt Xiang, Miss Xiang has never had any contact with Aunt Xiang and her brother. At this time, when she heard Xiang Zhutou say this, Miss Xiang was shocked and asked, "Auntie, ...... Sick?" Miss Xiang's tone was not without sincere concern, but it was not strong enough. That kind of worry, as if it was just the discovery of a puppy in the house, oh no, the old was sick. It is still a lofty gesture, a lofty pity.

Xiang Zhutou's eyebrows tightened suddenly, and he shouted: "Don't call me my aunt!

At this time, the congested crowd at the gate of the Phoenix Tower has been successfully evacuated by everyone. Master Xiang has immediately left with the people in the mansion. It's just that although the onlookers at the door got out of the way, they were still nearby, pointing at the old man and pointing at him. Master Xiang's footsteps are getting faster and faster, and finally like a rat crossing the street, he ran and rushed to his sedan chair, which has long since lost the bright and majestic posture it once was.

Miss Xiang hesitated for no more than three seconds, and then hurriedly said goodbye to Xiang Zhutou: "Watch...... Catch each other's heads and reunite in the future. Miss Xiang lifted the hem of her skirt and chased after her father.

"Head catch!" A dozen or so catchers finished their business and immediately gathered around the head catcher. They all knew that Xiang Tou was unhappy at this time.

Xiang Zhutou shook his head at these people and said to her, "Xiang Mou will ...... here."

"Wait. She said, "I don't know if all the officials have arrangements tonight, so it's better to come to our Phoenix Tower." The anxiety relief brew in my building is very delicious. ”

Xiang Zhu was stunned for a moment, and glanced at his subordinates. All of his men had a look of "I want to come tonight!"

Also, they all heard it on the spot today, the worry-relieving brew of Phoenix Tower, but a glass of ten taels of silver, a bottle of one hundred taels of silver. If it weren't for the real boss's banquet, where would they be able to afford to drink on weekdays.

Xiang Zhutou nodded helplessly, and said, "After the unitary time, ten of me will arrive." ”

"All ten of them, huh?" she smiled and looked around at them. Except for Xiang Xiang, the rest of the people nodded their heads again and again, and smiled shyly at her.

She smiled at the end, "Wait." ”

The head of the hunt stopped saying no more and left with the nine men.

Actually, she would love to leave them on the spot. Anyway, it is estimated that Phoenix Tower will not be able to summon newcomers today. It's just that her Phoenix Building has nothing to do, and they are still in the office hours, so it's not good to stay in the Phoenix Building for a long time. Even if Lord Qin turned a blind eye, he would not agree to catch his head no matter what.
