Chapter 18: Robbery While the Fire is Burning (2)
Zhou Xiao "you" for a long time before he clarified, "Why do you want so much silver?" He couldn't bear it anymore, every day a big table of meals was not enough to eat, and he had to add monthly money, so he endured it. He thought that the food in the big kitchen was not to his taste, and he had to set up a small kitchen, and he put up with it, and he opened his mouth for three hundred taels of silver...... Be at the end of one's forbearance!
"Your monthly money turned out to be ten taels, how about I ask your mother to increase it to twenty taels for you when I go back?" Double, it's enough to spend, right?
"Dad, it will cost at least twenty taels to go to the Drunken Immortal Mansion and order a few dishes." Her little monthly money was not enough to go to the Drunken Immortal Building.
Zhou Xiao: "......" The big kitchen and small kitchen at home are not enough to eat? I also want to run to the drunken fairy building to eat!!
No, his daughter wasn't that delicious before...... Zhou Xiao carefully looked at his daughter who asked him for an account, and in the end, he was defeated under the eyes that were sincere, aggrieved and full of expectation, "Someone, go and tell Steward Liu, give the eldest lady five hundred taels of silver, and take my account." ”
Five hundred taels!
This is such a good dad!!
Zhou Hexi excitedly ignored the etiquette, wrapped his arms around Zhou Xiao's neck and shook it twice before letting go, and then finished instructing Onyx, "Give Zhou Ping'an a squeak, I'm going to Zuixianlou at noon tomorrow, let him prepare in advance." ”
I'm really going to the Drunken Immortal Tower!
Zhou Xiao touched the beauty's beard, on the one hand, he was happy because of the girl's excited hug, and on the other hand, he was worried because of the girl's sudden foodie attributes. It's not that you can't afford to spend those silvers, the Hou family has a big business, don't say a foodie, even if you have ten more, you can raise it. The problem is that the eldest daughter is fourteen this year, and she eats like this when she sees the age of her relatives......
Zhou Xiao shook his head suddenly, feeling that it was inappropriate, his daughter was withdrawn, and there was an accident like falling into the water, for the outside world, it doesn't matter if the accident is not an accident, in short, the eldest lady of Yi'an Houfu is going to die or live because of the resignation. Under such a reputation, I'm afraid that the family affairs can't be settled for a year or two, so let's just mix it up for another two years.
After thinking about it, Zhou Xiao didn't have a temper at all, but fortunately she told her to bring a few more servants when she went to Zuixian Mansion tomorrow, Zhou Hexi was overjoyed, and the ecstasy of the little daughter who was originally disguised was actually three points true at this time.
Zhou Xiao, a cheap father, in addition to liking colors and being idle, is not without advantages.
At least it's not as indifferent and ruthless as the original owner's memory, ignoring the only bloodline of his deceased wife. Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to everything because she was making a fuss about it, and he would give an extra two hundred taels of silver.
In order to "repay" the generosity of his cheap father, Zhou Hexi also generously took the two pictures of ladies to Zhou Xiao, and promised to hang them in his study temporarily, and she would take them back when he had a good painting.
Not long after the cheap father left with the picture of the lady, the five hundred taels of silver also arrived, and the tortoiseshell was dumbfounded holding the pile of yellow and clear silver tickets with the fragrance of ink.
The next day, Zhou Ping'an waited at the second gate early, and when Zhou Hexi, who was dressed in men's clothes, came out with a tortoiseshell and agate dressed as a "little maid", he quickly greeted Yu An and replied that he had transformed the seat of the carriage according to the instructions. Zhou Hexi couldn't wait to sit up, the distance was only half a meter from Zhou Ping'an, to put it bluntly, there was almost only a curtain between her and Zhou Ping'an.
The tortoiseshell had her heart in her throat several times, and she couldn't understand why the eldest lady was sitting so far aside, in case the road was unstable or the horse was frightened and had an accident...... The tortoiseshell didn't dare to think deeply, and only stared at Zhou Hexi firmly to take care of her safety at any time.
A quarter of an hour later, the Drunken Immortal Tower arrived.
