Harem Pampered Beauty: Chen Xiangxue

Chapter 50

Murong Xue's eyes widened in surprise, "You, you are,"

Xu Ze smiled and nodded with a happy expression that you finally guessed right, "Oh girl, I am the owner of this place."

Surprised and delighted, Murong Xue immediately asked, "Did Mr. Xu buy that ivory bed?"

"It's me, what's wrong?"

"That bed," Murong Xue found it hard to say, because since this ivory bed was Xu Ze's mother's dowry, now that his mother is gone, he must want to buy it back for a thought, how could he have the nerve to say it again? to go back.

Seeing her hesitation, Xu Ze smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Master Xu, I really don't know how to speak about this matter." Murong Xue summoned up her courage and said, "I asked the servant girl to sell that bed, and I didn't know it was worth a fortune, so I only sold it to the owner of the woodware shop for 1000 taels of silver. Only after I reconciled with King Zhaoyang did I realize how valuable this bed is."

Xu Ze interrupted her in surprise: "You said, you and King Zhaoyang made up?"

"Yes."

Xu Ze suddenly heard this staggering news, and he didn't know how to describe his feelings. He was shocked but also a little happy. Of course, he was more puzzled. How could Yeluyan give up such a lovely and beautiful woman? And away?

Murong Xue continued: "He said this bed is worth ten thousand taels of silver, and he wanted me to pay him 9000 taels of silver. I really don't have that much money in my hand, so,"

Xu Ze frowned in disbelief, how could King Zhaoyang be so stingy?Looking at Murong Xue's charming little face, and her big watery eyes full of expectation, I just feel like my heart is going to melt. I really don't know how Yeluyan would be so cruel to embarrass such a cute little girl.

He asked softly: "Then you mean, you want to go back to this bed?"

Murong Xue was ashamed and dared not look at him, she lowered her head and twisted the hem of her clothes and said, "I know this bed is of great significance to my lord, I am willing to pay three times the price to buy it back."

"Can not be done."

Murong Xue looked up at him, with a look of disappointment all over her cheeks, but she had already thought of this result, Xu Ze's actions were understandable.

Xu Ze was very embarrassed: "It's not that I don't want to help, it's that this bed is my mother's dowry, and I want to keep it as a souvenir."

Murong Xue squeezed out a smile: "I know Mr. Xu is filial, and it is difficult for me to do so, so don't bother me, and leave."

Xu Ze hurriedly stopped her: "Let's do this, I'll give you the remaining 9000 taels of silver, and you can return it to King Zhaoyang."

"How can I do that?" Murong Xue quickly declined, "I can't take advantage of you."

Xu Ze smiled: "It's okay, just take advantage of me."

Murong Xue blushed all of a sudden, and stammered, "I have seven thousand taels on hand, and I only need two thousand. Thank you Mr. Xu for your kindness, then I will just take it as a loan of 2000 taels of silver, and I will definitely pay you back in the future."

Xu Ze said: "You don't have to think this way, I just think it's 1 taels of silver that bought back my mother's belongings."

"But,"

Xu Ze interrupted her with a smile: "Thank you for selling this bed, otherwise I would not be able to get it back. Compared with the meaning of this bed, 1 taels of silver is nothing."

Murong Xue was very moved, but felt that it was inappropriate. It was clearly Xu Ze's property, but he asked him to redeem it at a high price. Isn't this bullying?After thinking about it, she felt that she couldn't take advantage of him like this, so she said: "Then just treat it as the money I owe the young master, and I will pay you back in the future."

She would rather suffer herself than take advantage of others.Moreover, compared to owe Yeluyan, she felt that it was better to owe Xu Ze, because Xu Ze would not force her to repay the debt with others.

Xu Ze smiled, "You don't have to pay it back."

"Of course I have to pay it back. I am a very principled person, and I have never been greedy for others' advantage." Murong Xue said seriously with a small face, "I will write you an IOU."

"Need not."

Murong Xue reported her home address to him, so that Xu Ze could rest assured that he could find her at any time.

Xu Ze found her cute even more, and said with a smile, "I'm not afraid of you running away."

She sighed: "I can't run away either, King Zhaoyang doesn't allow us to leave the capital, otherwise we would have left the capital long ago."

Xu Ze secretly said: Fortunately, you were not allowed to leave Beijing.

Murong Xue thanked her repeatedly, and turned to leave, Xu Ze suddenly said: "Can I give you a ride, your home is very close to Lingshan Temple."

"You want to go back?"

"Well, I don't live here."

"Why?"

For the first time, Xu Ze showed a gloomy look on his face, "We used to be a family, but now I am the only one left. Touching the scene makes me fall in love, which only makes my heart hurt."

Murong Xue was stunned, and immediately regretted that she didn't dare to ask more questions.

After getting into the carriage, Xu Ze returned to his smiling face again, as if the sentimentality he had just momentarily had gone with the wind.

He asked, "Did I say I'm not a monk?"

"you said before."

Xu Ze looked at her and smiled: "That's good."

Murong Xue blushed inexplicably, so what's the matter?What a strange word.

"When I was young, I was very weak and fell ill every now and then. I almost died several times. The abbot of Lingshan Temple was originally my father's subordinate. When he led the army to fight, he felt that killing was too serious. After returning to Beijing, he went to Lingshan Temple to become a monk. My mother believed Buddha, so he sent me to Lingshan Temple, first to ask for the blessing of the Bodhisattva, and second, to let me practice martial arts and fitness with the abbot. My father was framed for treason, and I asked my uncle to issue a monk certificate for me. Buddhist disciples were spared."

"So that's how it is. It's the Bodhisattva who has blessed you."

As the two talked together, time passed quickly, and it felt like the carriage arrived at Lingshan Temple not long after.

Xu Ze jumped out of the car and waved to Murong Xue, "I'll send you the banknote later."

"Thank you, Mr. Xu."

Xu Ze narrowed his eyes and smiled, then entered the temple.

Murong Xue returned home and told Murong Lin about it.

When Murong Lin heard the result, he nodded and said, "That's fine, just treat it as a debt of 2000 taels to Xu Ze, and let's earn money to pay him back later."

Murong Xue said: "Since King Zhaoyang doesn't allow us to leave the capital, and squeezed out our money, we can't sit still, I thought of a way to make money."

"Don't worry about making money."

"Father, this matter happened because of me, how can I not worry about it. A few days ago, Shen Youxin and I went to have a meal and it cost 30 taels of silver."

"So expensive? What's so unusual?"

"Not at all, but the usual ingredients, chicken, duck, and fish. Only one dish of grilled fish has a unique taste. At that time, I was thinking, if we also open a restaurant, it must be very profitable."

"That can't be done. I don't object to you cooking at home, but it's really hard to open a restaurant to deal with a lot of customers. Dad can't let you suffer. Don't worry about making money. Wait until Dad plans to open a hospital nearby. Hall."

"Father, it costs a lot of money to open a medical clinic. Besides, although father is a good doctor, he is unknown in the capital. There must not be many people coming to see the doctor in a short time. It is better to open a restaurant to make money faster. My daughter is not afraid of hardship. After earning a few thousand taels of silver, father, you can take care of yourself at home, and the family will be handed over to your daughter in the future."

"Smelly girl, is your father very old?"

"Of course not old, dad is young and handsome."

Murong Lin smiled and touched his daughter's head, feeling sad and relieved at the same time.This child has really grown up, he was carefree before, and he knows everything about life.Opening a restaurant is also a good idea. It keeps her busy and doesn't have time to be sad.Although she never talked about the pain of reconciliation, she could always smell the faint incense wafting from her room at night. It must be because she was so worried that she couldn't fall asleep that she lit the soothing incense.

After an hour, Xu Ze really came.

Muronglin and his daughter warmly welcomed him into the hall.

Xu Ze handed a stack of banknotes to Murong Xue, "Here are the banknotes, order some."

Murong Xue saw that it was nine thousand, and hurriedly said: "No, no, only two thousand is enough."

"All the money was given to King Zhaoyang, so how do you live?"

Murong Xue said: "Just now I was discussing with my father, planning to open a restaurant to earn money."

Xu Ze's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "That's great, doesn't it cost money to open a restaurant? The 9000 taels are just for me to invest in this restaurant. What do you think of the old man?" He turned to ask Murong Lin.

Murong Lin naturally replied: "That's great." If all the 7000 taels of silver were given to Yeluyan, his livelihood would indeed be a problem.In this way, it is killing two birds with one stone.

Murong Xue didn't expect Xu Ze to trust her so much that she was willing to invest such a large sum of money in the shop where she hadn't seen her yet.But in this way, it really relieved her of her urgent need. She has both the capital to earn money and the source to pay back the money.She looked at Xu Ze gratefully: "Thank you for your trust. After the restaurant opens, you don't have to worry about anything, just wait for the money. I will share [-]% of the profits."

Xu Ze smiled and said, "I've been assigned so much, so I have to do something. I'm going to be a second child?"

Murong Lin said: "How can it be done, the young master is the big boss."

Murong Xue recalled saying that he was a servant of the Xu family today, so she was very embarrassed, "I would like to show my gratitude by staying with you for a light meal, can you do me a favor?"

Xu Ze couldn't wish for it, and he was so happy that his heart blossomed.

Murong Xue went to the kitchen, and within a short time, she prepared six dishes and brought them to the dining table. Xu Ze was really taken aback. He just heard that she was going to open a restaurant, and it was just that she was going to hire a cook. Who knew that she herself was a Intermediate master, these few dishes in front of you, just the color can make people appetite.

Murong Lin said happily: "My daughter's skills are all inherited from me. What I am most proud of in my life is not medical skills, but cooking skills."

Murong Xue also brought a jar of wine from home, filled a glass and placed it in front of Xu Ze.

Xu Ze smiled and thanked, "I don't know how to drink."

Murong Lin froze for a moment, thinking that such a man who can't drink is really rare.

"This wine is mild in nature, young master, please take a few sips."

"Thank you uncle."

Murong Xue said: "Young Master, please try my handicraft."

"Okay." Xu Ze raised his chopsticks, looked at the six dishes, looked left and right, but didn't put down his chopsticks for a long time.

Murong Xue couldn't help being stunned, she had always been extremely confident in her cooking skills, although these few dishes today were not prepared for a while, they definitely wouldn't make it difficult for people to eat.

Murong Lin also felt strange, so he asked: "My lord, is there anything wrong with this dish?"

Xu Ze smiled embarrassedly: "I forgot to say, I don't eat meat."

Murong Xue was stunned, and said embarrassedly: "I'm so confused, I forgot about this, I'll go and make vegetarian dishes for you again."

"No need." Xu Ze hurriedly stopped Murong Xue, and said with a smile, "Then I'll break the precept starting today."

Murong Xue couldn't help laughing.

Seeing her picturesque smile, Xu Ze couldn't help but feel flustered, thinking, she smiles so beautifully, not to mention asking me to eat meat, even if I gnaw on a table leg, I won't refuse.

Although he is not a real monk, he has been used to eating vegetarian food for many years in the temple, and he has never eaten meat for many years. Today's meal is of great significance, as if he has returned to the world of mortals from Fangwai and started a new life.

After eating, Xu Ze thanked him and said goodbye.After drinking two glasses of wine, his face was blushing and his eyes were extraordinarily bright. When he looked at Murong Xue, Murong Lin even had the illusion that this child fell in love with A Xue.

Murong Xue also felt his direct gaze, so she whispered: "Father, go and wake up Pei Jian and send him off, he has never drunk before, he seems a little drunk."

Murong Lin hummed and went to Pei Jian's bedroom.

Murong Xue sent Xu Ze out of the hospital.He looked at her for a moment, and suddenly said out of nowhere: "Thank you for letting me eat meat today."

Murong Xue wanted to laugh and felt embarrassed at the same time, it seemed that he was really drunk.
