"Ling'er? How did you end up here? The old man in the robe asked in surprise.

"Ling'er? Isn't it Kiki? Zhang Cheng turned to look at the woman who gave him a headache, his heart was full of curiosity!

"Daddy... Why are you here? After a pause, he said, "I came with the third brother, but he... He had gone beforehand. Kiki fiddled with her sideburns and whispered.

When Zhang Cheng heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked the old man in his gorgeous robe: "Are you her father?" That's right, your precious leap girl still owes me a thousand taels of silver, and you have no problem paying back the money as a father! “

As soon as Zhang Cheng's words fell, Qi's father and the old man who was dining together were a little shocked, shocked and curious, but neither of them spoke, but looked at Qiqi together.

Seeing that the spearhead was pointed at herself, Qiqi felt a little flustered, and looked at Zhang Cheng with hateful eyes. If the eyes can kill people, it is estimated that Zhang Cheng has been killed by her thousands of times!

Seeing that his daughter didn't speak for a long time, the old man in the Chinese robe asked in a deep tone, "Ling'er, what's going on?" “

"I... I—" Kiki squirmed for a long time, but didn't say why.

Seeing that his daughter was squeaking for a long time, he turned his head to Zhang Cheng and asked, "You come!" “

Seeing the old man in the robe ask himself, Zhang Cheng looked at Qiqi with a smug gaze, pretended to cough, and then said leisurely: "Actually, it's nothing, Ling Ai and Ling Lang borrowed a thousand taels of silver from Zai Xia because of their poor lives a few months ago." After a pause, he said: "I happened to meet Ling Lang and Ling Ai in the restaurant today, half an hour ago, Ling Lang went back to raise money, and let his sister use it as collateral here!" “

Zhang Cheng told the story of the incident in a few words, as for the matter of breaking the temple, it was not easy to say after all, so he concealed this paragraph.

"What proof does this little brother have?" Another old man asked.

"Credentials? At that time, I left a note, but I lost it because of my carelessness. Zhang Cheng spread his hands and pretended to reply easily.

"So, there's no evidence!? The old man's eyes lit up, and he stroked his beard and asked.

"Yes, yes, you coward has no evidence, you have the ability to come up with evidence!" When Qiqi heard the old man's analysis at this time, her eyes lit up, and she felt that this was a good opportunity to repay the debt, so she hurriedly stepped forward to echo.

Seeing his daughter speak out at this time, the old man in the robe had a gloomy face, and looked at Qiqi with angry and majestic eyes, the aura at this time was extremely powerful, as soon as Qiqi touched that gaze, her little head shrank back, and glanced at her father from time to time.

At this time, Zhang Cheng was very angry when he heard the old man's question, "Okay, this account is still here, fortunately Lao Tzu still has a fan, otherwise this silver will really be wasted!" ”

After making up his mind, he felt a lot more relaxed, and snorted coldly: "Miss Kiki, is this trying to repay the debt?" Seeing that he didn't speak, he continued to hum: "Miss Qiqi really doesn't have a good memory, so why don't you let Zhang help you recall, when your brother borrowed the silver, he left a fan as collateral, and now Zhang still keeps it, why don't you go down and take it for you to watch?" ”

Kiki was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that her brother had forced a fan at the beginning, saying that if she couldn't see her again, it would be worth a thousand taels if she sold the fan. At that time, I didn't care about it, but now I remembered it after being reminded by Zhang Cheng, and this thought, her pretty face flushed, turned into a pig's liver color, lowered her head, and secretly thought, "It's really embarrassing to lose face and go home, it's better to simply admit it." ”

"Hmph, that's ridiculous!" The old man in the gorgeous robe stood up suddenly, shook his sleeves and left angrily!

After the other old man saw the old man in the robe leave angrily, he glanced at Na Qiqi, shook his head, glanced at Zhang Cheng again, opened his mouth, and finally sighed and left.

"I'll wipe it, and I'll go, where's my silver?"

The corners of Zhang Cheng's mouth twitched, and he was speechless for this family.

"Fortunately, this girl didn't leave, otherwise she would have cried..."

"Hey, are you called Kiki or Ling'er?" Zhang Cheng asked Na Qiqi.

"You have to take care of it!" With tears in the corners of her eyes, Qiqi shouted to Zhang Cheng, and then squatted down with her arms folded and cried.

"Okay, this debt is very horizontal, as if you owe money."

Seeing that the girl was crying silently, the diners around her had already done a lot of attention to what had just happened, and now there were even more, which made Zhang Cheng feel a headache.

When he was worried, Li Xiangyun walked slowly towards him, Zhang Cheng seemed to see a savior, and immediately stepped forward to meet him: "Xiangyun, quickly, let her stop crying...!" ”

Li Xiangyun glanced at Zhang Cheng, then leaned down and whispered beside Qiqi: "This girl, don't cry, if the owner bullies you, the slave family will be the master for you!" ”

"......" made Zhang Cheng's eyelids jump slightly.

I don't know what that Xiangyun said in Na Qiqi's ear, and after a while, Na Qiqi opened her eyebrows and laughed, crying and saying, "Sister, is this true?" ”

Li Xiangyun nodded to him, and then pulled Qiqi to the back kitchen, and glared at Zhang Cheng fiercely when he left, and Zhang Cheng rolled his eyes back as if he was retaliating.

Besides, the two old men who left before returned to the palace without a word.

On the Jinluan Palace, the old man in the gorgeous robe paced a few steps, and then said to the door: "Go and find the third prince." ”

After a while, a eunuch led the three princes to the front of the palace, and the three princes bowed and said, "The son has seen his father, please greet his father!" ”

"Heng'er, do you and Ling'er owe him a thousand taels of silver outside of it?" The Emperor asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the third prince was stunned, looked up at his father and queen, and said in a low voice: "This is true, but I don't know how my father knows?" ”

"Then why not return it?"

"This ......, Erchen recently repaired his house, so he ...... It will be returned in the future. “

"You are very leisurely, your own sister is your mortgage, you brother is really good! The face of the royal family has made you lose everything! The emperor, who had been speechless all the way, finally broke out at this moment in anger at this moment, and sneered at him.

"The son knows his mistake, and the father is angry!" Seeing that his father was angry with him, he hurriedly confessed his mistake to him.

"Your Majesty, the third prince is just confused for a while, don't hurt yourself for this trivial matter!" The old man in front of the hall spoke up.

The emperor glanced at his son angrily, waved his hand and said, "Okay, go down, quickly return the silver taels and let Ling'er come back!" “

The third prince hurriedly retreated, and then the emperor asked in the dark: "Who is Zhang Cheng who invited Yuelou?" “

As soon as the words fell, a black-clothed masked man appeared in the gray place, knelt down to him and said: "Back to the emperor, that Zhang Cheng is the author of the "Water Tune Song Head", and he became the new owner of the original Yuelai Restaurant three days ago!" “

The emperor was very surprised when he heard this, and then asked: "Oh, yes, how did Heng'er and Ling'er owe him silver?" “

The masked man replied: "Your Majesty, a few months ago, the third prince and the fifth princess passed by a ruined temple on their way to Yangzhou, where they met that Zhang Cheng, and when he left, because he ran out of money on the way, he took the silver ticket from that Zhang Cheng in the name of borrowing!" “

"This bastard!" Hearing this, the emperor's eyelids jumped slightly, and he said in a low voice.

"In addition, after investigation, this Zhang Cheng will soon become the son-in-law of Qin Tong, the secretary of the military department!" The masked man spoke in astonishment.

When they heard this news, the old man of the emperor and His Royal Highness were a little shocked, and they did not ease up for a long time.

"No wonder that old thing, for my proposal, he pushed back and forth, and made me an accident without making a sound, interesting!" The Emperor muttered to himself.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never forgotten the daughter of Qin Shangshu, how can he be born now?" The old man spoke up and became worried.

"Uncle Ao, you are the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and I also have a deep headache for this, is there a way?" The Emperor asked.

"This..., Your Majesty, for today's plan, why don't you issue an edict first, and propose marriage for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first?" Uncle Huang of the Ministry of Rites was arrogant, sighing in his heart, blaming himself for being too talkative, but now it's good, the emperor asked, so he had to give him a bad idea!

"In this way, this matter will be handled by Huang Aiqing!" After saying that, the emperor left the Jinluan Palace.
