Quick Wear: The Beautiful Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Loses Her Memory

Chapter 83 From now on, I can only watch her from afar (3)

Once this topic was brought up, everyone present spoke freely.

There are all kinds of comments!

"Xue Han really takes this marriage seriously. Not only did he ask his uncle to go to the Xie family to propose marriage, he also persuaded the wife of the headmaster of Yunling Academy to help."

"I heard that the official media he hired was not cheap. The key is that you can't hire them without some background!"

"That's nothing. I have inside information that Xue Han has actually been fond of Second Miss Xie for a long time, and saving her was just a side job."

At this moment, someone at the table suddenly said, "It was a drowning that brought the lovers together. Now it seems like they are a match made in heaven."

Xiao Ji's wine glass fell to the ground, and the beautiful green jade cup just fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the floor of the private room was covered with a thick mat, so the jade cup did not break. However, the young man who was setting the table today suddenly wailed, "Oh my god, the wine spilled on the mat. This will cost a lot of money to clean up."

It turns out that this floor mat is an imported product and is very troublesome to clean. Everything else is easy, but once there are wine stains on it, it will damage the color.

Therefore, if anyone accidentally knocks over a wine glass, they will have to pay a hefty amount for cleaning.

And this cost is higher than the cost of the meal.

Normally speaking, such a "deceptive" private room would have few visitors, but many of the aristocratic families in Beijing like this style.

I don't care whether the food is good or not, I just want to prove that I can definitely afford this place.

"Stop yelling!" Xiao Ji said with a sullen face, "I'll pay for today's banquet and the cleaning fee as well."

After saying this, he asked the waiter to call the store owner over. He wanted to settle the bill in person to avoid this group of people making up stories about him.

"So it's Prince Xiao who's dining here!" The restaurant owner walked in with a smile on his face, "I'll ask the kitchen to bring you some fruit."

Everyone present was a little surprised when they heard this! In the past, when dining at this restaurant, as long as Xiao Ji was there, the shopkeeper would basically come to toast, and sending a large dish or some good wine was a basic operation, so why did he only send fruit today?

Moreover, when they just entered the door, the shopkeeper clearly saw Xiao Ji, and now it seemed as if he just knew that the other party was here.

"Boss, my friend was supposed to host a dinner party today, but I accidentally knocked over the wine and soiled the floor mat." Xiao Ji didn't care at this time. After all, he often came here to dine, and the cost each time was not very high.

So he didn't think about how much the meal would cost.

Xiao Ji continued, "I'll pay for the cleaning of the floor mats and the cost of the banquet. Tell me how much it will cost."

"Not much, fifty taels." The shopkeeper looked at the other person with a smile, "The dishes are worth more than a few dollars, I'll treat you all, and the cleaning fee for the floor mat is fifty taels."

"Fifty taels?" Xiao Ji was also shocked by the amount. Although he was the eldest son of Duke Xiao's mansion, he did not hold an official position, so he had no salary. Most of his daily expenses came from the monthly allowance from the mansion and the income from a shop given by his mother.

It’s not that he couldn’t afford the fifty taels, but the best banquet in the past only cost one or two taels of silver. This time the price had increased by more than twenty times!

The hand holding the silver bag paused. Xiao Ji, who always thought that money was a dirty thing, seemed to have seen the real prices of goods in Yuxia Tower for the first time.

"You don't have to be like this, Master Xiao. Our prices have always been this way." The shopkeeper happily explained to Xiao Ji, "You were a friend of my boss's brother-in-law in the past, so the prices we give you are discounted.

Just recently, our boss said that from now on, no matter who we are, we will treat everyone equally and there will be no discrimination.

I quoted you fifty taels, but since we know each other, I'm giving you a discount. Otherwise, you still have to include the cost of the meal, so it would be fifty-five taels."

The shopkeeper's words made Xiao Ji lose all face, and instantly all the young masters present looked at him with scrutiny.

There was no need to say this, the implication was very clear, it turned out that Xiao Ji was a "giant live off" man, no wonder he was so generous before, he was just being generous to others!

Xiao Ji gritted his teeth and took out a fifty-liang silver note from his sleeve and handed it to the shopkeeper with some heartache. This was the money he had saved to buy a good horse, but now he thought it was not enough. After all, everyone knew that many good horses would not enter the market.

The horse he had taken a fancy to before was kept at the Xie family horse farm.

"Brother Xiao, you still have some face. Just say you don't want the five taels of silver for the wedding fee." The person who first brought up the marriage between the Xue and Xie families said this, and then looked at Xiao Ji with envy.

The restaurant owner had already put away the fifty-liang silver note and was about to leave, but after hearing what this person said, he stopped again and turned to look at Xiao Ji. He didn't say that he wanted the five liang silver, but his eyes showed...
