Ah Bing replied, "The two gentlemen have each deposited three thousand taels."
If each person recharged three thousand taels, then the total amount would be six thousand taels.
Gu Jinyan was not familiar with the young man surnamed Kong, but she knew something about Peng's account. A few thousand taels was nothing to him. Anyone who had the courage to confront him must have a strong family background.
Such a person could still afford to play with her, so she stopped asking any more questions and just asked Ah Bing to keep an eye on that side and report the situation to her at any time.
After the soldier left, he continued to watch the scene from a distance to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation.
With so many large-denomination banknotes, it would be a huge loss if one was accidentally lost.
After Peng, who was at the cashier's counter, had charged three thousand taels of silver in a row, he saw that Kong Xinju was like a dog-skin plaster and he couldn't get rid of him. He guessed that Kong Xinju was going to stick with him today.
Suddenly his eyes turned, the corners of his lips curled up, and he directly put two thousand taels on the counter, "Boss, add another two thousand taels."
Then he looked at Kong Xinju, raised his chin, and said in a very arrogant tone, "How is it? Master Kong, are you still following?"
Looking at his annoying expression, Kong Xinju was so angry that his teeth were itching and his face was extremely dark, but the girl he liked was enjoying it.
Seeing Lu Yuanyuan looking at him with sparkling eyes and saying compliments, he felt like cheating on him.
He took out two thousand taels from his pocket and slammed them heavily on the counter, saying angrily, "Boss, give me another two thousand taels."
Peng Zhang, who was standing by, saw this and said sarcastically, "Wow! You really are worthy of being Master Kong! You're really domineering! It seems like he really likes Miss Yuanyuan!"
Hearing Peng Zhang say this, Lu Yuanyuan said with an aggrieved expression: "Brother Zhang, what are you talking about! You clearly know that you are the only one in her heart."
Hearing these disgusting words, Peng Zhang suddenly shuddered and got goosebumps all over his body.
Kong Xinju, who was standing by, was furious, but he couldn't bear to say anything to Lu Yuanyuan, so he could only continue to target Peng Zhang.
He threw another two thousand taels on the table and asked the shopkeeper to help him become a member. Then he looked at Peng Zhang with a smug look on his face and said, "How is it? Do you have any more money?"
Peng Zhang looked at him as if he were a fool, and suddenly felt a little sympathy for him. It was obvious that Lu Yuanyuan looked down on him, but he still had to go and lick her.
Forget it, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll just play with you.
Tian An! I helped you earn so much money, you should thank me now!
While thinking, he lightly threw another three thousand taels onto the counter, exactly one thousand taels more than Kong Xinju.
The two of them went back and forth, and seeing that each of them had recharged 10,000 taels, A Bing couldn't bear to watch it anymore. He told the others to watch carefully and hurried to find Gu Jinyan.
Gu Jinyan was also shocked after hearing this. After all, she was a girl and it was the first time she encountered such a thing, so she was also panicked.
Tian An was not around at the moment, and Zuo Yunshu and the others had as little experience as she did. They probably couldn't do anything except worry about it. In a panic, they thought of Mrs. Gu who was having dinner in the private room on the second floor.
She asked A Bing to watch over him for the time being while she prepared to go upstairs to find her mother for a solution.
Just as I reached the corner of the stairs, I happened to meet Zhao Yiming who was coming downstairs.
When Zhao Yiming saw her panic-stricken expression, he knew something had happened. After asking, he found out that it was the kid Peng Zhang who was walking the dog!
He immediately told her not to panic and just focus on other things and leave this matter to him.
"But don't you have to accompany me..."
Although Gu Jinyan didn't finish her words, Zhao Yiming naturally knew what she wanted to say. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then I'll trouble Miss Gu to entertain His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess on my behalf!"
The following matter was imminent, but the Crown Prince's side could not be neglected, so Gu Jinyan had no choice but to force the issue. Fortunately, it was only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and she also knew the Crown Princess.
Seeing that she agreed, Zhao Yiming led her into the private room before going down to deal with Peng's account.
When she entered the room, she found that in addition to the prince and his wife, there was also the emperor and empress. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and bowed in time, so she did not lose her manners in front of the palace.
When Xiao Chen saw her come in, he couldn't help but feel happy. His eyes were almost narrowed into lines due to smiling, and his mouth was almost stretched to his ears.
Gu Jinyan secretly glared at him several times before he reluctantly restrained himself.
But the amount of words he said increased visibly, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was so changed by him that even the emperor laughed several times.
The queen opposite glanced at him inconspicuously, then looked at Gu Jinyan, and knew what was going on.
He immediately whispered to the emperor, "Chen'er is not young anymore, it's time to choose a wife."
The emperor glanced at Xiao Chen and said, "Queen, I have someone in mind."
Although the two of them lowered their voices, the room was so small that everyone could hear them.
Xiao Chen subconsciously looked at Gu Jinyan beside him, and then looked at the queen with anticipation.
Now, even the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess knew his evil intentions.
Gu Jinyan was frightened by him, fearing that the emperor and empress would think that she and Xiao Chen had secretly exchanged things, seduced the prince, angered the emperor, and implicated the entire Gu family.
In a short period of time, Gu Jinyan thought of no less than ten possible endings for herself and the Gu family, but they were undoubtedly all bad, and her face turned visibly pale.
Unexpectedly, the Queen said, "I think Jinyan is quite good. She is dignified and generous, kind and kind-hearted, and has a good personality. She is just the right person to take care of Chen'er."
Xiao Chen was delighted and said in a complacent manner, "My Queen Mother has a good eye. I also think Jin Yan is good."
The emperor snorted coldly: "What do you know? You only know good things?"
Feeling that the emperor was unhappy, Gu Jinyan was shocked and quickly stood up, knelt on the ground and began to apologize.
Seeing this, the queen beside her pulled the emperor's sleeve and said, "Look at you, you scared the child."
Then he looked at Gu Jinyan, "Jinyan, get up quickly. His Majesty has no intention of blaming you."
However, the emperor did not speak, so Gu Jinyan did not dare to stand up.
Seeing that Gu Jinyan was so frightened, the emperor felt a little guilty.
He glanced at his good-for-nothing son and said unhappily, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and help your future princess up."
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, then he happily knelt down to express his gratitude.
He also pulled Gu Jinyan, who was beside him and couldn't react for a moment.
Gu Jinyan followed him drowsily to thank the emperor and the queen, and was still a little unresponsive until she sat down on the chair.
Princess? She became a princess? When did Xiao Chen become a king? Why didn't she hear about it?
