Miss Almighty

Chapter 97
"The subordinate has already ordered him to go down, he must be watched closely, the eldest son can rest assured."

"En." Rong Xi nodded, smelling the scent of incense powder on his body, frowned tightly, and strode away to the residence.

In the afternoon, in the posthouse room, Guan Zhicheng frowned, walked up and down the room, looked out of the window from time to time, but only saw the torrential rain, and guards in sharp armor.

"Haven't they come back yet?" Guan Zhicheng called his attendant and asked.

"My lord, not yet, don't worry, it's raining so hard, those adults probably won't come back, and...and..."

"And what?" Guan Zhicheng asked with a frown.

The attendant looked nervous. "My lord, let the servants be talkative, those adults are now in Ruanrou Township, there is no reason to come back before the night."

"A bunch of bastards! Things that don't do enough to make things happen!" Guan Zhicheng was so angry that he grabbed the teapot and threw it on the ground.

With a "pop", the teapot shattered into several pieces, and then, the closed door was suddenly opened, and the visitor glanced at the teapot on the ground, looked at Guan Zhicheng coldly and said, "Master Guan, His Royal Highness has ordered that Anling City is no better than the imperial capital, and Prince Rong's Mansion is also very poor, if you live here, if you damage anything, you must compensate according to the price."

"What? How could it be like this?" The attendant said dissatisfiedly: "My lord is also responsible for the emperor's order..."

"His Royal Highness has said that even if you bear the emperor's order, you can't waste the people's fat and anointing at will."

"you--"

"By the way, His Royal Highness also said that he spent a total of 320 taels of gold in Juxian Tower at noon today, so it should be treated as his treat, but you have to pay for the food afterwards. Rongwang's mansion doesn't have that much money, so you can't afford it. I miss you."

"Bang Dang!" Guan Zhicheng was so angry that he fell off his chair.

The guard looked at them coldly and said, "The broken teapot and chair are antiques and unique. The teapot is 20 taels of silver, and the chair is 50 taels of silver. Will Mr. Guan give the cash or write an IOU?"

Guan Zhicheng clenched his fists and gritted his teeth angrily. "Servant Mo! Take the silver!"

"My lord, this..." Shi Mo stood still, with a reluctance on his face.

Guan Zhicheng gritted his teeth. "Are you going to ask me to write an IOU?"

Then Shi Mo glared at the guard bitterly, took out seven taels of gold from the bag, walked towards the guard, and said bitterly as he walked, "Isn't it just a broken teapot and broken chair? 70 Two silvers, you might as well go and rob someone!"

The guard said: "The price is very fair. If you don't believe me, go out and ask, antiques! Those are all old things, do you understand cultural treasures?"

Shi Mo shook his head in disgust. "Antique? I think it's more or less tattered."

The guard said: "Vulgar! No wonder you can only be a servant who waits on others, uneducated, it's terrible!"

Shi Mo gave him the gold, watched the guard put it into his clothes happily, and couldn't help asking: "How many antiques are there?"

The guard said: "Oh, all the things here are antiques, be careful, you will have to pay money if you break it. By the way, let me remind you kindly, if you want to eat, remember to pay money to order it yourself. .As long as you have money, it’s okay to go to Juxianlou every day.”

Shi Mo recalled that Guan Zhicheng said that the dishes in Juxian Tower were more delicious than imperial meals, so he couldn't help asking, "Are the dishes in Juxian Tower expensive?"

The guard chuckled and held out a finger. "Ordinary ones cost one tael of gold. Do you think it's expensive? At noon today, His Royal Highness ordered the best dishes. That's so expensive... I heard His Royal Highness say that in the next month at least the palace will be full of food." I have to cut down on food and clothing."

Shi Mo looked at him in horror. "real or fake?"

"Tch, believe it or not." The guard said irrefutably, picked up the debris on the ground, and left the house with him.

As soon as Shi Mo turned his head, he saw Guan Zhicheng sitting on the chair with a livid face, trembling in his heart, he came over and asked, "My lord, what shall we have for dinner?"

"Do you have any dry food there?"

When Shi Mo heard this, his face turned pale with fright. "My lord, how can you eat dry food?"

"Is there anything we can't eat? Don't we eat dry food along the way?" Guan Zhicheng gasped in distress when he thought of the seven taels of gold. what to do?"

Shi Mo said indignantly: "My lord, His Royal Highness is too much! How can we let us spend our own money for food?"

"Okay, stop talking, take out the dry food."

Shi Mo saw that Guan Zhicheng's expression was not good, although he was still a little unwilling, he still closed his mouth, silently took out some dried meat and handed it to Guan Zhicheng, while he took a piece of dry and hard cake, broke off half of it, and left Half of it is still put back.

They bought the jerky on the road. They thought it tasted good at first, but there was jerky at noon today. After comparing it, this jerky was a little hard to swallow.

Guan Zhicheng chewed uncomfortably, and suddenly regretted going to Juxianlou at noon.

Shi Mo bit the cake in his hand with difficulty and swallowed it in pain. Seeing that Guan Zhicheng was suffering from eating, he hurriedly said, "My lord, I'll ask them to bring you a pot of tea."

Guan Zhicheng nodded, Shi Mo opened the door and ran out, just as he went out, he met the previous guard.Seeing him coming out, the guard asked in a cold voice, "What are you doing?"

Shi Mo said: "My lord wants to drink tea, you can bring one here."

"Tea?" The guard opened his mouth exaggeratedly, "Hey, do you know how expensive tea is these days? The cheap tea in Juxianlou costs one tael of silver a bowl! The good ones cost a tael of gold! "

"What kind of tea? So expensive?"

"Do you want it?"

"No more! Give me a pot of boiled water!"

"Okay! His Royal Highness said that if you treat him well, you won't be charged for boiling water." The guard smiled and turned to look for water.

Shi Mo shook his fist angrily. "Everything needs money, are you poor and crazy? Hmph!"

When the guards brought the hot water, Shi Mo's expression was still grim, he snatched the kettle and turned around to leave. The guards winked behind him and smiled complacently.

Guan Zhicheng ate his dinner with difficulty in the water, but he was worried about the people who stayed in Chunyi Pavilion, for fear that someone would be tricked out of his words, and he was burning with anxiety.

Shi Mo looked at the dark sky outside and reminded Guan Zhicheng. "My lord, it's getting late, you've been exhausted from the journey, and you have to see the prince tomorrow, should you rest first?"

Guan Zhicheng hesitated for a while, then turned and walked out. "No! I'll go and bring them back!"

Shi Mo stopped him. "My lord, this...isn't it good?"
