But even so, in this era, silver was still the first choice for many large families and merchants.
After all, no one could guarantee that nothing would happen to them if they left it at home. Even if they were to give them a small amount of money, it would be a good choice if they were to put it in the letter.
Guan Shuyuan looked at her niece anxiously. She was worried that she really owed Zhou Aoxuan something, and if she did not pay back the debt then she would be in deep trouble.
Chen Ziming, on the other hand, was frowning and thinking about how they met up last time. After thinking about it, he didn't seem to be in debt too.
When Chen Nianran heard this, her beautiful face flushed red, and her hands that were hidden in her sleeves came out of the water. This Zhou Aoxuan still remembered the last time they had competed.
How did it end last time? It seemed like he was the one who served her the tea. However, he had only toasted her with a cup of tea that day. After that, because of something that had happened to Zhou Aoxuan, she had left the matter at that.
Afterwards, she was still rejoicing. Luckily the Fifth Young Master was too busy, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to act like a girl. This was great, even after so much time had passed, that rotten person still remembered this matter.
”Cough, our Fifth Young Master has also said that if Miss doesn't want to go, he will take back half of the silver this time. ”Miss, when are you going to pay your debt? Then, you can return the silver to me at any time.”
Hearing that, Guan Shuyuan was confused, what kind of thing was this girl doing? It required him to deduct half of the silver taels. This was more than a thousand taels of silver! It was more than a thousand years, and Guan Shuyuan's heart ached just thinking about it.
Chen Nianran stared at the silver in the shopkeeper's hand angrily, she wanted to take a step forward and snatch it away.
However, the storekeeper seemed to be very smart. He smiled as he shook the banknotes in his hand, ”Here …” According to Fifth Young Master's explanation, it was half the banknotes. As for the other half, the Fifth Young Master will settle it for you. ”
Chen Ziming and Guan Shuyuan both looked at Chen Nianran pitifully. The painful look on their faces caused Chen Nianran to vomit blood.
Damn man, she really did owe him a debt. The f * ck! He still wanted her to become a little girl …
”Alright, since Fifth Young Master is so kind, if we don't go, then we won't give any face at all, haha. I'm sorry to trouble you, shopkeeper, to bring a letter to Fifth Young Master saying that my aunt likes to drink Dragon Well of the West Lake. My uncle likes to eat swan meat that flies in the sky. If Fifth Young Master finds it hard to find these ingredients, you can always send a message to the Pleasing Inn. We will no longer disturb your interest, Fifth Young Master, haha … ”
Guan Shuyuan stuck out her tongue, Girl Ran really dared to have such conditions. Chen Ziming hurriedly agreed. ”That's right, that's how it is. If it's not easy for Fifth Young Master to find these ingredients, we might as well not invite them.”
Shopkeeper Jin secretly thought to himself, ”What if the heavens treat us?!” Fifth Young Master, your guests are even more frightening than those arrogant people in the capital. However, she should just follow the instructions of the Fifth Young Master.
”Yes, yes. Lady, you are absolutely right. I will definitely deliver the message. If no one comes to the Pleasing Inn to leave a message, then it must be for the guests to come.”
Chen Nianran nodded, then bid farewell to the shopkeeper and left, cursing that damned guy in his heart the whole way.
After exiting the inn, Guan Shuyuan worriedly pulled her aside, ”Girl, what kind of huge matter are you recruiting for Fifth Young Master for? Treat it as if it's worth more than a thousand liang of our silver.” At this moment, she no longer had the joy of earning a lot of money. There was only endless worry.
With her worried expression all these years, Chen Nianran unhappily comforted her, ”It's fine, that's because Fifth Young Master's spirit was especially vigorous, and then there was no place for him to burn the money. He insisted on treating you to a drink of the Dragon Well, and invited our uncle to eat the swans in the sky. This was Fifth Young Master wanting to honor you two. Debts, haha … I remember he was in debt to me. ”About that, let's eat with our stomachs open.”
Seeing that she was laughing so loudly that she didn't mention how she owed Chen Ziming, Guan Shuyuan could only turn her head and ask.
”About that, I don't know the specifics either. Anyways, as long as Girl Ran speaks properly, I think we can get back this silver. ”
Without getting the news, Guan Shuyuan became flustered and she reached out to pinch his arm, ”I say, you're useless. You actually didn't know the last time the little girl was with you guys, tell me, how did you become so useless?” I was wrong, what if the little girl was confused again by the Fifth Young Master. Just based on Fifth Young Master's face and her way of doing things, ah, my mother, any woman would easily be tricked. ” Not to mention, this pair of them had been adulterous and passionate before. Thinking about it, Guan Shuyuan was worried, even though she was not worried. After knowing that Zhou Weiqing was definitely going to get married, she did not want her niece to have any more conflict with him.
”It hurts. Wife, do you really think I'm some kind of iron man? Relax, relax a little. There are still people watching me.”
Guan Shuyuan swept her eyes across her surroundings, and confirmed that there were many people walking around. She was next to her man, so she also pinched him to keep him hidden. Most people wouldn't be able to tell, as the sleeves were still covering her. However, if one was a bit more careful, it was still easy to find out what was going on.
For the sake of a man's face, she coldly snorted, and unwillingly retreated to stand next to Chen Nianran.
