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

No one else present spoke, each one of them remained silent. Even the host, who had originally invited the guests, was now leaning his head and looking at the scene in front of him, as if waiting to see whether Xiao Ji would pay for the meal or enjoy the discount with peace of mind.

Xiao Ji was extremely angry, but faced with this situation he could not utter a word of rebuttal.

After all, relying on the relationship with the Xie family over the years, they have gained far more benefits than just a few meals at this restaurant, so they didn't dare to make things too embarrassing in front of everyone.

Therefore, in front of this group of so-called "friends", Xiao Ji could only helplessly take out another five taels of silver from his silver bag, weigh it a few times, and prepare to hand it to the shopkeeper.

However, what was unexpected was that the shopkeeper did not take the silver directly. Instead, he took the small scale from the waiter and said, "Master Xiao, please rest assured that our restaurant will never take a single cent of your silver."

Then, the shopkeeper put the scattered silver coins on the small scale, and the result was only 4 taels and 8 cents, which meant that the person who was short of weight was Xiao Ji.

"It's not a big deal! This is because Master Xiao usually doesn't handle money himself, so such a mistake occurred. It's okay." Before Xiao Ji could say anything, the shopkeeper started to smooth things over.

These compliments sounded extremely harsh to Xiao Ji's ears. He took out a five-liang silver ingot from his silver bag and threw it to the restaurant owner.

Then he didn't listen to what the other person said and walked out of the private room.

"Too much, too much." The shopkeeper held the silver ingot and shouted, "Prince Xiao, I'll give you this extra money to deposit into our restaurant's money card! A pure copper coin card of 4 taels and 8 cents."

At this time, Xiao Ji had already walked out of the restaurant, so he naturally didn't hear what was said later, but his group of friends heard it all.

Some people laughed out loud after seeing that he had already walked out the door and got into the carriage, and then the private room erupted in laughter again.

The shopkeeper saw this scene, and with a smile on his face, he said to everyone, "Dear guests, the food and drinks are all here. Please enjoy your meal."

After saying that, he left here.

"Hahaha! This is the first time I see Xiao Ji make such a fool of himself." The person who reminded Xiao Ji to pay for the meal spoke first.

"That's just too much pretense." Someone sighed, "Now it seems that the gold-inlaid jade coin he used to get a discount was not his at all."

"Yes!" Everyone nodded in agreement.

All Zhou family shops have money cards similar to membership cards. The grades of money cards are: the lowest level is made of copper, followed by silver and gold, and the highest level is gold inlaid with jade.

Moreover, the gold and jade coin tokens are commonly used in all Zhou family shops.

This money card system was proposed by Xie Jingyao, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, after she married into the Zhou family. Therefore, several masters of the Xie family have a money card inlaid with gold and jade.

In the past, whenever it was Xiao Ji's turn to treat guests, he would borrow the sign from Xie Jingshu one day in advance. Now he hasn't seen her for a long time, so naturally he can't get the gold and jade sign.

Xiao Ji got on his horse and was about to return home, getting angrier and angrier. He felt very upset that he, the son of Duke Xiao, was treated like this.

"Turn around, let's go to the horse ranch in the suburbs?" Xiao Ji said to the driver, "I'm going to go ride a horse to cool off."

Unfortunately, the groom today was not the one Xiao Ji usually used, and he had never been to the suburban horse farm that the other party mentioned. However, from the meaning of his words, he could roughly draw a conclusion - the horse farm was definitely not in the city.

The coachman drove the carriage out of the city.

Most of the nobles' horse farms were built in the same area, so the groom did not ask Xiao Ji and just headed towards that general place.

When they were almost there, the coachman said to Xiao Ji, "My Lord, we are already in the eastern suburbs of the city. Please see where the horse farm of the Duke's Mansion is. I will drive the carriage over there right away."

"You've never been here?" Xiao Ji's tone was full of disbelief. "You're the groom of Duke Xiao's mansion. Don't you know about the horse farm?"

Is this all the bad luck that has happened? Xiao Ji feels that he is really unlucky today!

It turned out that Duke Xiao's Mansion was one of the few families in this area that did not have a carriage. When the land was enclosed to build the horse farm, their ancestors were canonized relatively late, and by the time the title was given, the land had also been divided.

Although other families sold their horse farms when they fell into decline, the Xiao family was short of money and could not afford to buy one.

The horse farm that Xiao Ji mentioned was actually a horse farm built on land that was later occupied by a new force.

Of course, there is no place for his Xiao family here.

Because when General Xie wanted to build a horse farm with Duke Xiao, they said: "My family has been a family of nobles for generations, and if we want to build a horse farm, we have to build it on the old land over there.

We are different from you, a noble family should have the heritage and bearing of a noble family."

General Xie did not bother with him and directly bought the land to build the Xie family horse farm. And because he bought it early, the land was cheap, and the Xie family horse farm later became the largest in the area.

Xie Linyuan once joked about this incident with his wife: "He can't afford the expensive land, and he thinks the new land is dirty. He deserves that his Xiao family has no horse farm."

When this was said, Xie Jingyi was also present. He was eight years old at the time. He added a comment sourly: "But if Prince Xiao doesn't have to raise horses, doesn't he still have a place to practice riding?"
