Originally, since I was kind enough to help her get the purse back, it was right for her to treat her to a cup of tea.
It's a matter of courtesy.
However, this princess is really too poor. She only has a few pieces of silver and thirty copper coins. The nearby teahouse is the most famous teahouse in the capital!
Notoriously expensive!
A serious high-consumption place.
It's unclear whether Li Mingyue's little money will be enough for a snack.
Really, he would go for a more luxurious princess.
After all, she is a princess of the same country. Why is Princess Mingyue so poor?
Look at Xiao Ruxue back then, who threw three hundred taels of silver on the table with a bang. Look at Princess Mingyue again. Alas, there is no harm without comparison!
Therefore, Xu Qing could only find a reason to politely reject Princess Mingyue, so that Princess Mingyue would not have to spend so much money.
Princess Mingyue should keep the little money she has to save her dowry.
Ah? What? You said Xu Qing is a warm man?
of course not!
What was Xu Qing thinking about?
What if he really followed Li Mingyue unceremoniously, and a meal of tea cost more than ten taels of silver. If Li Mingyue didn't have enough money, who would pay for the rest?
Isn’t it Xu Qing?
If you are kind enough to help, you might lose some money in the end?
He and Li Mingyue are not familiar with each other, so he will not do a loss-making business!
Although Xu Qing admitted that Li Mingyue was indeed very good-looking and eye-catching, and she looked so soft and frail that she wished she could be held in her arms and cherished.
But then again, good looks can’t be eaten as food! Only money can do that!
Li Mingyue looked at Xu Qing's walking back, then looked at the moon-white brocade bag in his hand, clenched it tightly, and just as a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he suddenly covered his mouth and coughed twice.
After the coughing stopped, Li Mingyue put the kit in his hand close to his body, took a bite of the snowball, turned around and walked towards the residence of Honglu Temple.
It turns out that besides her brother, there are people in the world who help her without expecting anything in return, which is great.
…
Xu Qing was walking on the lantern festival, when suddenly a pair of small cold hands stretched out from behind and covered Xu Qing's eyes.
Xu Qing held the snowball bag in one hand, and pulled the two cold hands covering his eyes with the other hand: "Xue'er, this is the sixteenth time this month, is there nothing new?"
As soon as Xu Qing finished speaking, the snowball in his hand disappeared, and his eyes lit up. The cold hands just now were gone.
Xiao Ruxue held the bag and jumped in front of Su Qian and said: "Hehe, sister Su, we have snacks to eat!"
Xu Qing shook his hand that was holding the snowball just now. What was it that swooped over just now?
Okay, this new idea is really sudden, and suddenly the snowball I just had just disappeared.
When he turned around, Xu Qing saw his wife and Xiao Ruxue holding a snowball and eating happily.
Xu Qing walked up to the two of them in two steps and his throat moved: "Hey, I bought it."
Xiao Ruxue took one out of the bag and stretched it out to Xu Qing: "Hey! I'll give you one! Hehe!"
After that, it became a matter of three people making snowballs and eating happily.
After Su Qian finished eating the snowball in her hand, she looked at Xu Qing and asked with concern: "Did something happen to the husband of the envoy of Zhou State?"
Xu Qing thought for a moment and said, "There are indeed some changes."
Su Qian worriedly said, "Husband, is he in trouble?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said, "No, I just made a thousand taels."
Hearing this, Su Qian and Xiao Ruxue were both slightly stunned. How could they still make a thousand taels from a banquet?
Is he that good at making money?
However, Su Qian soon smiled and said: "It's fine if there's no trouble. The lantern festival tonight is quite good. It's much more prosperous than the one in Yongzhou City. How about I accompany my husband for a walk?"
Xu Qing also smiled and said, "Okay."
Xiao Ruxue pulled Xu Qing's sleeve and said, "Sister Su and I were guessing lantern riddles just now. If we guessed it right, we would get a gift! But we went a little late, and others guessed it easily.
The only difficult part is that neither Sister Su nor I can guess it. You are so smart, how about you guess a few?"
Xu Qing was pulled by Xiao Ruxue's sleeve, and then Xu Qing held Su Qian's hand, and the three of them walked towards the lantern riddle together.
The three of them came to a stall together. Under the lanterns was a sign with a red thread and a puzzle on it. Hanging under the puzzle was a delicate little box, which seemed to contain something good.
The person running the lantern riddle stall was a chubby man. When he saw the two beauties, one big and one small, beside Xu Qing, he suddenly showed a kind smile, but this smile made all the flesh on his face wrinkled: "This young master must be...
What a blessing. Do you want to guess a lantern riddle? The villain promises that there are gifts in these boxes, and the young master will never leave empty-handed. Moreover, the more difficult the riddle is, the more valuable the gifts will be."
Xiao Ruxue pointed to a lantern riddle under a lantern and said: "Xu Qing, Xu Qing, guess this, there must be something good in the gift box below!"
Xu Qing nodded and looked at the puzzle: "The bird in white is dancing gracefully, but it will not survive if it falls into the water."
This puzzle guesses an object in the world.
Xiao Ruxue rubbed her head, but she had no clue. Su Qian beside her was also thinking hard, but she couldn't figure out what to do.
Xu Qing smiled and said: "Snow."
Xiao Ruxue raised her head and said, "Ah? Why did you call me?"
Xu Qing smiled and shook his head and said: "What I'm talking about is the answer to this question, which is snow. Snow is white and floats down from the sky, and then it melts when it falls into the water."
The owner of the lantern riddle stall smiled and said: "Young Master is really very wise. The gift hanging under this lantern riddle belongs to you."
With that said, he took off the thing and handed it to Xu Qing. As soon as Xu Qing took it, he immediately felt something was wrong. It was so light. Is there really anything inside?
Xiao Ruxue said impatiently: "Open it quickly and see what's inside."
Xu Qing opened the box, and immediately, two heads appeared next to Xu Qing
I saw a piece of paper floating out of the box: Ramadan Tower, twenty taels minus eight taels.
Xu Qing picked up the paper and flipped through it. After working on it for a long time, it turned out to be a full discount coupon?
The lantern riddle stall owner suddenly smiled and said: "This young master is really lucky! You can immediately save eight taels of silver in a famous restaurant in Beijing!"
Xu Qing waved his hand and said, "Wait a minute. When did Zhaiyue House, a famous restaurant in Beijing, become famous in Beijing? Why have I never heard of this name?"
The stall owner smiled and scratched his head and said, "Don't worry, sir, we will open tomorrow and we will be famous in half a year."
Xu Qing looked at the stall owner with an expressionless face: "Don't tell me that you run that Zhaiyue Restaurant."
The stall owner was immediately surprised and said: "Oh, my guest is really good at predicting things! I admire you so much, I will invite your guest to support me tomorrow!"
Xu Qing picked up Su Qian and Xiao Ruxue and left. Grandma, he said, how could this stall owner be so idle, doing good deeds and doing good deeds without spending a penny on guessing lantern riddles and getting gifts?!
It turns out that his restaurant is about to open, and he is advertising his restaurant in the capital on the pretext of guessing lantern riddles?!
The voice of the stall owner kept coming from behind: "My lord, we will open at 10:00 tomorrow! My lord!"
