Young Master Liu's smile was a little triumphant. He thought he would be praised by the ladies for his good drinking ability, but he did not expect to see a dramatic scene.
Qi Ya, Yun Qing Shi, Wen Ren Yun Shu, Gu Mo Rongrong, Hu Yan Yunyao, Huang Lingyi, Yun Xiaoxi, Ling Weier and other sisters suddenly gathered in front of him and stretched out their jade hands and cherry lips.
He shouted that he wanted to compensate himself.
"Smelly husband, I don't want to know whether you drank too much or not, but you must compensate me for the one hundred and fifty taels of silver, which is half of my monthly salary."
"I have two hundred taels of silver, so you have to compensate me."
"I owe you two hundred and sixty taels. If you don't compensate me, within half a month... no, no, no, within three days you won't even be able to lay a finger on me."
"My wife's is six hundred taels."
"My concubine's price is four hundred and eighty taels."
"I am worth eight hundred and fifty taels."
"My concubine's payment is one thousand taels. If you don't pay for the bad husband, then you will pay with your body. I will give you one hundred taels of silver once. After ten times, the two of us will be settled."
If you feel that you have suffered a loss, I will do my best and compensate you one more time, counting you eleven times."
"Oh my God, you little goblin Xiao Lingyi is too 'slutty', you don't even want money for some male sex? That's a thousand taels of silver!"
"That's right! That's right! We agreed to get a piece of debt collection, how could you change your mind?"
"You and sister Bizhu are running a restaurant and you are not short of money to spend, but you have to think about it for your sisters, right?"
"You are betraying the alliance of sisters, but you will be punished!"
Huang Lingyi looked at the sisters around her who were criticizing her, and trotted behind Young Master Liu to reveal her pretty face.
"What's the matter? Sister, I'm not short of money. Why don't you allow me to be a better man? At worst, I'll help you pay back the money you lost."
Young Master Liu was dumbfounded as he looked at the many women who stretched out their arms to surround him, completely unaware of what was happening.
"Silver? What kind of silver? Why should a good husband give you money as compensation?"
I don’t remember when I owed you money, and it was still so much money. Yun Shu, you have at least one hundred and fifty taels.
My husband, I only earn dozens of copper coins a day by setting up a stall and telling fortunes outside. You ask for a few hundred taels of copper coins. How come you are so open-minded? Why don’t you go and grab it?
It's not impossible to get some money from your husband to spend, but you have to give me a more legitimate reason, right?
Compensation? I'm very sorry. My husband really cannot accept this reason.
Especially if you are here in spirit, if you don’t want to lose money, then you will pay with your body, and you are kind enough to give me one more charity. If you don’t do anything serious every day, what good things are you thinking about?
That's eleven times! If you don't like my husband, you can just kill me. At least you can give me a clean slate.
Killing someone is just a nod! Are you planning to torture your husband to death?
Eleven times, my God, this is something I would never dare to dream about, young master!"
Young Master Liu was confused and 'complained', and directly rejected the extremely unreasonable demands of the beauties.
Huang Lingyi's beautiful eyes swayed her husband's clothes several times with resentment, and she snorted softly when she saw Young Master Liu's frightened expression.
"Bad man, I didn't ask you to pay back one thousand taels of silver at once? We can pay the bill in installments!"
"Go, go, go, pay the bill in batches, Lingyi, why don't you go to heaven!
As my husband said just now, you can ask for money, but at least you have to give your husband a reason, otherwise your husband will never admit it."
Young Master Liu didn't know what was going on, but the women next to him directly solved his doubts.
The Queen, Qi Yun, Qing Lian, and Hu Yan Yunyao all smiled and extended their jade hands to the other beauties, waving them gently in front of them.
"Smelly sisters, it's up to your husband whether he compensates you for your money or not. The bet between us is between us. These are unrelated matters.
Sisters, don’t waste any more time and pay off your gambling debts first.”
"That's right. How you want to ask for money from the heartless person is your own business. Let's settle the amount we agreed on first."
"It's only a few hundred taels of silver. Sisters, save some money for rouge, gouache, clothes and jewelry. Bring it quickly. Don't default on your debt."
"Sisters, Chengfeng has already gotten married. I will definitely prepare a wedding gift for my daughter-in-law in a few days. The expenses will suddenly increase. Sisters, just pay the bills obediently."
Qi Ya and the other beauties looked at the four sisters in front of them who stretched out their hands to ask for the bill. Their pretty faces gave Young Master Liu a bitter look.
After sighing quietly at each other, the girls took out some banknotes and broken silver from their arms or cuffs one after another, and reluctantly patted them into the hands of the four sisters Qi Yun.
"Thank you sisters for your generous donation."
Qi Yun, the Queen and the four sisters expressed their thanks in unison, and immediately walked to the side table with bright smiles and began to distribute the banknotes. Qi Ya and other sisters swarmed around Young Master Liu.
"Smelly husband, I'm fighting with you, who asked you to pretend to be drunk? You are shameless."
"Despicable, pretending to be drunk while drinking with friends, you are unbecoming of a gentleman."
"You're not good at that, and you're not good at drinking either. You're incompetent."
"Hurry up and pay me back. I've saved up three months' worth of money."
"I don't want money, I'll pay with flesh! I'll pay with flesh!"
"..."
After half a stick of incense, Mr. Liu sat on the carpet with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes. He looked up at the group of beauties above him who were looking down at him with a sad expression, and let out a long sigh without tears.
"You are going too far. I don't know when you started betting on whether I was drunk or not, young master. Can you blame me for losing money?"
"You still dare to be stubborn? Sisters, beat him to death. When will you be willing to compensate for our losses?"
"Hey, hey, hey! You witches don't respect martial ethics and just beat me up. What are you doing by pulling my husband's pants?
Is there any royal law or heavenly law?
Isn’t it just money? How big a deal is it? Isn’t it enough to compensate my husband?”
"Really compensation?"
"I really apologize! I really apologize! As a husband, I can swear to God."
"Now it's no longer enough to just lose money. You have to agree to some other conditions for our sisters."
"Isn't it? You don't raise prices by sitting on the ground like this!"
"Um?"
"Promise, promise for my husband."
"You know what's going on, sisters, pick up this stinky husband and sign it."
After about half a stick of incense, Mr. Liu signed several humiliating and unequal treaties on the blank rice paper with an indignant look on his face. Then the beauties straightened out their somewhat messy clothes.
Dispersed one after another.
It was July 18th, the sixth year of Taiping, and it was the early autumn season, when the autumn air was high and crisp.
On this cool and breezy day, Juechen came straight to the north gate of the capital, held the token in his hand high and quickly entered the city gate.
"Urgent report, our Dalong delegation has returned to China and returned to Beijing."
"Urgent report, our Dalong delegation has returned to China and returned to Beijing."
"Urgent report, our Dalong delegation has returned to China and returned to Beijing."
At the Gua stall outside Penglai Restaurant, Liu Mingzhi was sleeping on his back on a recliner, squinting his eyes and half asleep, waiting for customers to come.
Gradually, he heard the scouts shouting one after another in his ears. Young Master Liu suddenly opened his eyes, sat up straight and looked at the street in front of him.
In Young Master Liu's eyes, a fast horse galloped past the street in front of him and headed straight for the palace gate.
Liu Song put down the Spring and Autumn in his hand, stood up and trotted over to Young Master Liu.
"Young Master, you are back. Young Master Chengfeng and the others are finally back."
Young Master Liu raised his head and glanced at Liu Song, who looked excited. With trembling arms, he picked up the herbal tea on the table and brought it to his mouth and drank it in one gulp.
"Phew, he's back. This bastard is finally back."
Young Master Liu slowly put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up from the recliner and looked around at the passers-by on the street with a faint smile. The excitement in his eyes was self-evident.
"Willow Pine."
"Master? You tell me!"
"Close the stall and let's enter the palace immediately."
