Chapter 4 (2/2)

Ye Xiang did not return to manor, but rode the horse directly to the Yipin Xiang3 Teahouse.

Qi Shu, Chen Shu, Shen Qi, and the others to enter the city one by one, after hearing that he went to the teahouse, also wanted to know how much money he spent today, how much remaining from the seven thousand gold bet he had leftover, and all went to the Yipin Xiang Teahouse without a prior set arrangement.

The teahouse has stopped taking in customers, and the shopkeeper is counting the spendings for the day.

Ye Xiang came to the front of the building and dismounted from the horse. The lion also followed him, swishing his tail and following him into the building.

The young assistant saw the big lion behind Ye Xiang and his face went pale from fear, his legs also weakened. Trembling and unable to speak, “Ye…Shi-zi…Lion…”

Ye Xiang glanced back, a rare situation of stopping in his tracks. Saying with a smile, “Without my permission, it doesn’t eat human.”

The young assistant was still scared, his face earth-tone.

Ye Xiang seeing him like this, simply decided to not go in. He stood at the door and asked, “How much did today spend me? Have the shopkeeper calculated it?”

The young assistant stuttered, ” currently … currently counting…”

Ye Xiang nodded, “I’ll wait here for a while, you go in and have a look, after calculated, come out and tell me.”

The young assistant repeatedly nodded, holding onto his soft boned legs and barely crawled into the restaurant.

Qi Shu laughed, “You have a lion now. I’m afraid all the ladies in the Imperial City will need to reroute when they see you. Even the Red Powder House4, I’m afraid won’t invite you in.”

Ye Xiang uninterestedly said, “In this case, isn’t it more to Xu Yun Chu’s advantage? With me to compare to, the ladies in the Imperial City will like him more. Doesn’t he like to be surrounded by the ladies of the Imperial City? He would want to thank me all the more. ”

Qi Shu mouth twitched.

“So what if he is The Imperial City’s # 1 Gong-zi? Since the engagement thing for Lady Su came out, you and him are regarded the same. He does not have any advantage over you.” Chen Shu said in disdain.

Ye Xiang turned to look at Chen Shu, “Being regarded the same as him is not a glorious thing. Yet, you still have to pay attention to that.” The

Chen Shu looked at him, “Have you slept for three months and slept stupid already? That’s the Su Manor’s Young Lady, the only daughter of General Su. Treasured like a pearl in the palm. The Empress Dowager and Emperor have been glued to this matter in recent days. Even all the officials of the court have grown long grass in their hearts from this5. Marrying her, what does that represent? It…”

Ye Xiang continued the words for him, ” Marry her, is married to a tigress who plays with knives and swords. I now have a lion is enough, why do I want a tigress for? To watch her and the lion fight? ”

Chen Shu choked.

Qi Shu was greatly amused, “If you let the people of the Su Manor hear that, you would definitely have no game in marrying Lady Su.”

“The lady who grew up in the countryside, no loss in not marrying, who knows what kind of wild girl she is.” Ye Xiang smoothed his clothes, “I still want to play for a few more years, I don’t want to die early.”

Everyone laughed, “Makes sense.”

The Shopkeeper came out of the building with an account book and after greeting everyone, said to Ye Xiang, “Shi-zi, it’s at total of 11,000 gold.”

“What?” Chen Shu exclaimed, patted his ear, and looked at the Shopkeeper. “My ears must not be good, could I have heard wrong?”

The Shopkeeper shook his head. “Chen Er Gong-zi 6 didn’t hear wrong. It is 11,000 gold.”

“Are the people in this teahouse not drinking tea, but gold instead? How is it so much?” Chen Shu face tensed up, “Don’t think that because we are all prodigals, and you open your mouth like a lion7. Be careful of the lion that Ye Xiang just trained, he will swallow you whole.”

The Shopkeeper bowed, “Your servant8, I dare not to cheat Shi-zi. It’s really because today there was a guest. She packed up ten boxes of Tianxiangjin and took it away.”

Chen Shu blanked, “Take away?”

The Shopkeeper nodded.

“What kind of guest? How dare they think of robbing Ye Shi-zi!” Qi Shu swiftly asked.

The Shopkeeper looked at Ye Xiang and saw that he also showed curiosity. He hesitated and whispered. “It is Su Manor’s Young Lady.”
