Chapter 68: The Grand Celebration at Qian Zhuang

  Xiao An looked at Xue Lengyu's suddenly blooming face and couldn't help but wonder: "Miss Xue, do you know Murong?"

  "Do you know him?" Xue Lengyu chuckled and said, "I barely know him, but you know how it is. People like him from rich families can't be bothered with us. It's better if they don't notice us at all."

  Xiao An said strangely: "No way, Murong Gongzi and our Wang Ye have always been on good terms, he's not a person who looks down on others like that."

  It seems that this peacock man has a good impression on others, Xue Lengyu snorted in her heart and couldn't explain to Xiao An anymore. She could only perfunctorily say: "Really? Hehe, maybe. Don't talk too much, let's go quickly, there are still many things to buy."

  Xiao An nodded slightly and followed Xue Lengyu towards the Murong residence.

  The location of the Murong Mansion is in the center of the most luxurious street in the city, and it can be seen after walking for a short while. Xiao An pointed and said: "Next to the Murong Mansion, that two-story small building is the Da He Money House."

  Xue Lengyu hummed in agreement, as long as he didn't run into Murong Haoran, everything would be easy to discuss. He had come with a silver note, after all, and entering the store was like being God, so why should he feel uneasy?

  However, I'm still afraid of not understanding too much and asking some ridiculous questions. Xue Lengyu thought for a moment and handed the silver ticket to Xiao An: "Exchange it for 50 whole ones, and then exchange 50 two-piece fragmented silver."

  Xiao An was taken aback for a moment, then thought that since Xue Niang was his distant love interest, even if her family seemed poor on the surface, it's hard to say what's going on behind the scenes. Since he had never done anything like this before, there was nothing strange about it. He took the silver ticket and led the way into the money house.

  Xue Lengyu followed Xiao An into the Da He Qianzhuang. This was a two-story commercial building, decorated in a simple and neat manner. The area of the shop wasn't too large, but it didn't look crowded either. In one corner at the back of the shop, there was a staircase leading to the upper floor, with a red carpet laid on the stairs. Xue Lengyu thought to herself that she wondered if the upstairs room was a VIP room for entertaining big clients and discussing business.

  It might be a matter of timing, but there was no one in the money shop at this time. Behind the counter stood a chubby man. Xiao An walked up and greeted him familiarly: "Uncle Zhao."

  The relationship between Murong Fu and Mu Wang Fu has always been close, and there are often contacts between the lower officials of the two palaces.

  Zhao Baozi saw Xiao An and smiled: "Xiao An, how come you have time to come here?"

  Xiao An smiled and said: "Let's exchange some money." As he spoke, he handed over the silver ticket and stated Xue Lengyu's requirements.

  Zhao Baozi took the silver ticket, and since they were familiar with each other, he casually glanced at it. As he turned around to exchange the money, he teased: "Xiao An, where did you get this money from? You didn't steal it from the mansion, did you?"

  Xiao An said: "Uncle Zhao, am I this kind of person? You can't speak randomly."

  Xue Lengyu stood at a slight distance from Xiao An, coldly watching while trying to make herself inconspicuous. After all, it was better to keep a low profile in Murong Haoran's place.

  Before long, Xiao An had exchanged the money and he was also a meticulous person. He let Zhao Baozi pack two bags, one bag containing ninety taels and another bag containing ten taels of loose silver. After bidding farewell to Zhao Baozi, he handed both bags to Xue Lengyu: "Miss Xue, you can put the heavier bag away first. As for the lighter one, you can carry it with you every day for daily expenses. This way is more convenient and safer."

  Xue Lengyu smiled and only took the bag with 90 taels, saying: "I'll just put this bag on you. If I need to buy something recently, I'll have to trouble you to come together. Also, there's your and Xiaotao's salary for this month inside, take it out yourself. When you've used it up, I'll give you more."

  Ten taels of silver, whether for the Xue family or for Xiao An, is not a huge amount, but it's also not a small sum. Moreover, letting Xiao An take the money himself shows great trust.

  Xiao An hesitated for a moment: "Miss Xue, do you believe me?"

  "Even if I don't trust you, can I not trust Xiao Li?" Xue Lengyu said with a smile. He believed in Xiao Li's character and way of doing things, and since she had asked for someone honest and reliable, she must have arranged for the most suitable person to come over.

  A warmth rose in Xiao An's heart, just as she was about to speak, but then a noise of footsteps came from upstairs, accompanied by the sound of a man's voice. She couldn't help but look up.

  Because she knew that Murong Haoran was not in the city, Xue Liangyu had no concerns and couldn't help but feel a little curious about what this so-called rich person looked like, so she raised her head to take a look.

  The light at the stairway entrance suddenly dimmed, and as I turned a corner, a figure in a colorful long gown appeared.

  Murong Haoran? Xue Lengyu almost glared at Xiao An. Just as he was about to take a step, he hesitated for a moment. Although the man's facial features and physique were very similar to Murong Haoran's, upon closer inspection, there were obvious differences. This man was much younger than Murong Haoran, and his face had a frivolous smile.

  "Who is this?" Xue Lengyu blurted out, asking Xiao An in a low voice.

  Xiao An also said in a low voice: "This is also Murong Gongzi. He is the younger brother of Murong Haoran, Murong Haoze."

  It was him, the man rumored to have an affair with her. A cold smile floated on Xue Lengyu's face as she turned to leave, but then she heard a gentle male voice and slowed down her pace slightly.

  "Murong Gongzi, then I'll have to trouble you with this matter." a man's voice said.

  In Xue Lengyu's impression, she had never heard such a pleasant voice. The voice was neither urgent nor slow, neither high nor low, but slowly spread in the air, like a gentle spring breeze, and like a lover's gentle hand, making people feel as if they were bathing in the spring breeze.

  Xue Lengyu's footsteps had already reached the door of the store, and he was drawn in by the sound. He couldn't help but turn his head back, but it was just a dizziness.

  The owner of the voice had followed Murong Haoran to the middle of the stairs, a tall and slender man who seemed slightly taller than Murong Haoran. He was wearing a well-fitted white long shirt. Although his face had masculine features, it was softened by a warm smile that made people feel gentle at heart.

  Murong Haoze and Murong Haoran are quite imaginative, and can be considered handsome guys, but compared to the men around them, their handsome faces seem a bit rough.

  "You're too polite, Young Master Ning." Murong Haoze also smiled and said: "It's an honor for me to meet you, Young Master Ning."

  The two of them walked out while talking, and Mu Rong Hao Ze suddenly saw Xue Leng Yu standing at the door, his face changing abruptly.

  The white-clothed young master with the surname Ning also saw Xue Lengyu at the door. Because he saw that Murong Haoze's gaze seemed to be familiar, he also politely nodded and smiled slightly, then turned back to Murong Haoze: "Young Master Murong doesn't have to see me off, I'll take my leave."

  There is still one more shift tonight, but it might be very late, haha
