After hearing the waiter's explanation, the girl turned around to look at the woman with the veil on her face, then sat back down and snorted.
The girl curled her lips and frowned, "Who would spend more than three thousand taels of silver to buy a fish?"
"Even if it's a carp that can make you forget your worries, it's too expensive!"
The waiter was very proud and gave a thumbs up to praise his own dishes: "Dear guest, why don't you order one to try, it is absolutely worth the money, this taste is only found in heaven, how many times can you taste it in the world!"
"Just click, I..."
When the girl was acting impulsively, she was pulled on the sleeve by a woman with a veil on her face. This time it was Bi Yao's turn to look embarrassed. Who would have thought that she, the daughter of the leader of the Ghost King Sect, would one day be short of money.
Although she brought a lot of money with her this time, living in the Shanhaitian Pavilion had already cost her a lot of money. In addition, she had been spending lavishly in the past few days, so she had very little money left.
It was barely enough to sustain their food, drink and accommodation. Didn’t you see that they only ordered ordinary dishes in Shanhai Tianlou?
The waiter came over and asked flatteringly, "Dear guest, today's roasted carp is priced at 3,650 taels of silver, or 365 spiritual stones. What do you think?"
Bi Yao snorted: "What fish? Did I order it? I'm full today and have no appetite. Let's talk about it another day!"
After he finished speaking, he stood up and took the others downstairs, heading to the back to rest.
Zeng Shushu waited until they left before gently shaking his folding fan and saying, "In my opinion, the woman must be short of money. My goodness, more than three thousand taels for a fish, who can afford to eat so much!"
He clasped his fists towards Lu Chun and said, "It is only because the Young Master is treating us today that we have this great fortune!"
As he spoke, Zeng Shushu couldn't wait to pick up a large piece of tender white fish belly with chopsticks and put it into his mouth to taste the taste of money.
“Fragrant and delicious!”
"Such delicious food really leaves me at a loss for words!" Zeng Shushu exclaimed while eating.
Seeing this, the other people also started to use their chopsticks quickly, opened their chopsticks, relaxed their mouths, and started eating.
Lu Xueqi also ate a lot quietly. Although she chewed slowly to maintain her ladylike image, her eating speed was not slow at all.
Especially after taking the first bite, he found that the fish meat actually loosened his mind a little. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the fish as if he was looking at a precious medicine from heaven and earth.
After eating and drinking, Zeng Shushu and Zhang Xiaofan were like two brothers in distress, holding their full stomachs and not wanting to move at all.
Zhang Xiaochun inadvertently glanced at Lu Xueqi's flat belly, and didn't see any bulge. He was a little skeptical. Could it be that she had the potential to be a big eater?
When Lu Xueqi saw Zhang Xiaochun's gaze sweeping over her, her snow-white face turned slightly red.
Zhang Xiaochun and his companions returned to their residence with great satisfaction. He said to everyone at the gate of East Garden, "Let's rest here tonight!"
Zhang Xiaofan and Zeng Shushu responded, but Lu Xueqi said nothing. She walked back to her house, slammed the door, and leaned against it with a red face.
I don’t know whether I was embarrassed or angry at myself for not being able to control myself. How could I eat so much in a short time?
Zhang Xiaochun was stunned for a moment, then gave them a wry smile and said, "Xiaofan, and Senior Brother Zeng, you should also go to bed early."
Zeng Shushu laughed and chatted with Zhang Xiaochun for a few words, and then the three of them went back to their rooms to rest. ———
The backyard of Shanhaitian Tower is extremely large, with four courtyards built in the east, south, west and north respectively. In the center is a vast garden with many exotic flowers and plants, ginseng, ganoderma lucidum and fruits.
Zhang Xiaochun walked out of the East Garden where he lived. His figure changed and he transformed into the image of Li Feiyu, the ancestor of the Black Turtle. He wore a black robe and jade belt embroidered with silver dragon patterns, and walked towards the garden in the center.
It was already late at night. Looking up at the sky, I saw a sea of stars and a silver disk hanging in the distance. The night breeze was blowing, mixed with the fragrance of herbs and fruits.
This path was built very wide, with luxurious night-shining fish beads placed on the roadside to illuminate the way ahead. On the roadside were all kinds of rare and exotic flowers, blooming everywhere with fragrance all over the ground.
Zhang Xiaochun walked down the path, the breeze mixed with the fragrance of flowers brushed against his face, bringing a slight coolness.
By the roadside, a turquoise flower that looked like a precious gem was trembling gently in the night wind. There were crystal dewdrops attached to the petals, which were exquisite and translucent, with a faint fragrance wafting from them.
Suddenly, a slender jade hand, as if reaching out from the eternal darkness, with a kind of quiet beauty, imprinted with the moonlight and starlight in the sky, reached out to the flower and picked it!
It was a young girl in aqua green clothes. She stood there, as if attracting the light in the sky. She gently put the flower to her nose and took a deep sniff.
The girl put the flower she had just picked to her nose and took a deep breath. An expression of intoxication and joy appeared on her face, along with a breathtaking beauty. The flower seemed even more brilliant in front of her beautiful face.
"Do you like this Bi Cang You Epiphyllum?"
Bi Yao frowned slightly, and when she looked at the person, she felt that the person in front of her was slowly becoming familiar, but she couldn't tell where she had seen him before. She just looked at the flower and said, "So this is the Bi Cang You Tan, it really looks pretty!"
"As long as it looks good, it's a good deal. One thousand two hundred taels of silver!" The young man in black robe uttered a number that made Bi Yao extremely disappointed.
"What? Just one thousand two hundred taels?" Bi Yao was a little confused.
The young man in black robe pointed at the flower in her hand and said, "The blue and green chrysanthemum is extremely difficult to grow. One flower is worth 1,200 taels. Give me the money!"
Bi Yao looked at the hand in front of her and frowned, "Who are you? Why should I give you money?"
Zhang Xiaochun chuckled: "The entire Shanhaitian Tower belongs to me, why do you want to give me money?"
At this moment, Bi Yao felt like she was stealing money from the owner of the house. As the daughter of the Ghost King Sect's leader, she had been tyrannical since childhood and had no habit of paying compensation.
Bi Yao's bright eyes moved as she cast her gaze over Zhang Xiaochun. She snorted and said, "I picked this flower, which is a blessing for the flower. I smelled its fragrance, which is the fate that the flower cultivated for three lifetimes. How can a vulgar person like you be so ignorant of such an elegant thing?"
"Oh? I don't know what's interesting?"
Zhang Xiaochun took a few steps forward, looked at Bi Yao with a fierce look in his eyes, and said calmly, "I cultivated this flower seed specifically for a woman. Is it reasonable for you to pick this flower without paying me some compensation?"
"For the woman?"
Bi Yao smelled the green and dark blue lily, then suddenly threw it on the ground and stepped on it. (End of this chapter)
