"It's hard to come out once, and senior sister didn't prepare any extra money. If you just eat steamed buns, rice and porridge like this every day, it's better to stay in the villa and feel comfortable."
"Even if I don't see my wife being short of money on weekdays, she won't be so stingy when we go out to do errands."
The other tables were full of big fish and meat, but Yueru and the others only had boring white-faced steamed buns in front of them. The two junior sisters were obviously not happy.
Yue Ru frowned: "Eat whether you like it or not. If you don't eat, you will be hungry. If you talk so much nonsense, you will have a hard time when you go back."
Helpless, the two junior sisters had no choice but to pick up the steamed buns and gnaw them tastelessly.
Not long after, the two women smelled the aroma of meat, and the waiter came up with a whole fat and oily roast chicken, placed it in front of the three women, and said in a clear voice: "Sir, please use it slowly."
The three women were stunned, but Yueru reacted faster and stopped the waiter: "We didn't order this roast chicken."
The waiter laughed and said, "Don't worry, girl, please take it easy. The uncle has already paid the girl's bill. Not only that, there are still many dishes that haven't come."
As he said this, another waiter came up with dishes, including plenty of chicken, duck, fish, cattle and sheep, as well as wine, fruits and preserved fruits. In a short time, a full table was placed in front of the three girls.
The two junior sisters looked straight in the eye and asked the waiter: "Has someone paid for these?"
"You three ladies, just feel free to enjoy it."
The two women looked at each other, looking happy and ready to eat.
But Yueru grabbed them and said, "Wait a minute, these things came out of nowhere, where is the person who paid for them?"
The waiter pointed to the side: "Sit next to the girl, doesn't the girl know?"
Yueru looked sideways and frowned, seeing Xia Shang looking at them with a smile.
Seeing that it was Xia Shang, the junior sisters beside him jumped for joy, quickly stood up and came to Xia Shang, and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Mr. Xia."
Xia Shang smiled and said, "I'll give you some escorts. I'll be the one to take care of you."
"Young Master Xia is indeed a city man, and he is much better than our Stingy Senior Sister. But the Young Master has ordered such a large table of dishes, and we can't finish them. Why don't you come with us, Mr. Xia?"
"Forget it, that guy over there is not easy to mess with."
"Young master is treating me to a treat, what can senior sister say? Don't refuse, come and sit."
The two women were very familiar with Xia Shang. One held Xia Shang by the other's arm and pulled Xia Shang to their table.
The sight of two young and beautiful girls clinging to one man can make everyone around them envious and jealous.
Xia Shang thought Yueru was an unkind stone girl, but she didn't expect that the table of good wine and food also moved her. She didn't reject Xia Shang, but she didn't say much, and just ate in silence.
With.
The two junior sisters were not polite and just chatted and laughed with Xia Shang while eating.
Maybe it's because the three of them are all pretty beauties, and I heard that the three of them don't have enough money, so I plan to give them some money for emergencies.
The two junior sisters were looking forward to it very much, and their eyes lit up when they saw the banknotes.
However, Yueru refused firmly, causing the two junior sisters to complain for a while.
"Miss Yueru, after all, your wife and I are also friends. You sent me all the way to Suzhou. Xia should take care of you. Since you don't need money and want to find a place to stay, why not just stay there?"
In my house? It allows me to fulfill my duty as a landlord and I don’t have to treat you two junior sisters badly."
The two junior sisters looked at each other, full of expectations. This time, they couldn't say anything to make the senior sister refuse.
"Sister, you see Mr. Xia is not a bad person. Moreover, we don't know anything in Suzhou. Without Mr. Xia, it will be inconvenient for us to do anything. In the future, with Mr. Xia taking care of us, we will be able to do things more smoothly, right?
?”
"Also...don't we have enough money? Doesn't this save money on accommodation? You can eat whatever you want, but the place we live in is so bad. Even senior sister can't bear it, let alone us, right?"
This time Yueru did not refuse immediately, but instead thought about it seriously.
After a while, he said: "Since you really want to live in Mr. Xia's house, you two can go and I'll find an inn nearby to stay. The accommodation expenses for three people will be paid by one person, so there will be a lot of money."
"Ah? Senior sister, please..."
"Stop talking, either you two go live together, or you stay in the inn with me."
The two girls had no choice but to accept the senior sister's proposal.
The scattered foursome are back together.
After dinner, we left the restaurant. It was a long way from Dongchengkou to Yingxiongzhuang, so we called a carriage. After another hour, they finally arrived at the street where Yingxiongzhuang was located.
Yueru insisted on going to the inn, so she first found an inn to stay at the corner of the street. She then took the two junior sisters and gave them unknown instructions, and then asked the two junior sisters to leave with Xia Shang.
Without the fierce senior sister beside them, Sun Rou and Lanzhi were like birds out of their cages, immediately showing the liveliness that a young girl should have.
They had stayed in Wangyue Mountain all their lives and did not have a deep understanding of the ethics between men and women. They did not shy away from any taboos along the way. When they were happy, they could naturally hold Xia Shang's hand and talk happily.
Most of what they said was their admiration for the beauty of Suzhou, their longing for this trip, and their curiosity about Xia Shang's mansion.
Xia Shang was concerned about his family and did not pay much attention to the words of the two girls. He only said that he would take the two of them around Suzhou when he had free time.
At the entrance of Hero Manor, the housekeeper in charge of cleaning was taking care of the door as usual. Although it was a month later, Hero Manor had not changed much.
Xia Shang's return soon caused a commotion in Zhuangzi. The servant in front of the door said incoherently that he was going to inform everyone, but he forgot to let Xia Shang in.
The two girls around him were amazed by the magnificence of Hero Manor. They followed Xia Shang inside and were even more surprised to see the large and small courtyards and lofts in the manor.
"Mr. Xia, your home is really grand. It's much prettier than our Shuiyue Villa."
"I heard that every inch of land in Suzhou City costs a few hundred taels of silver. A small house costs several hundred taels of silver. How much does it cost to buy a mansion as big as Mr. Xia's?"
Xia Shang gave the two of them a brief introduction to the layout of the courtyard, and he was already in the main hall as he spoke.
There was no one inside, but the tea on the upper coffee table was still warm, so it was obvious that someone had just left.
"Let's wait here for a while."
The two girls had never seen such a large main hall. The expensive sandalwood chairs were very comfortable to sit on, but they were not very stable, making them a little cautious.
Soon, the sound of footsteps was heard outside the house.
Everyone is here!
Qin Huairou, Liu Ruyan, Xiaoyue, and all the maids and servants all looked at Xia Shang expectantly. The three women were so excited that they burst into tears. They wanted to throw themselves into Xia Shang's arms, but
Then he found that the two girls in the hall could only suppress their excitement in their hearts and respectfully saluted Xia Shang.
Xia Shang was also excited when he saw them, but suddenly noticed that there was another face in the crowd.
