Chapter 134: Can't Suffer Loss
"My lady, you should drink more hot water, it's good for your health."
Sun Jingyi had no choice but to take it and said softly, "Thank you, my husband."
In fact, what he was thinking in his heart was that if there was no one around, he would definitely beat up this idiot.
But that fool Jiang Mingyu was still very proud, with a grin on his face, which made Sun Jingyi sulk again.
Xu Qingmeng saw everything that happened in front of her. Half of her cold noodles were eaten up by Gu Yunyi's big appetite. She held the teacup quietly, thinking about something.
After a whole morning of travel, everyone was very satisfied after the meal. They were not in a hurry to leave. They just sat in their seats, drinking herbal tea and chatting.
"Mr. Huang?"
A voice came from the side. Huang Boyang turned his head and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, what a coincidence!"
"That's right. I didn't expect Mr. Huang to come so early. I wonder who these people are..."
"Come, come, let me introduce them to you. These are my classmates from Yan County, Gu Yunyi, Zhou Yuanjia, and Jiang Mingyu. This one is from Fucheng..."
There are many students coming to the city to take the exam, and this place is close to the examination site, so there are many people eating in this hall now, and they are all students coming to take the exam.
Huang Boyang often comes to this city and has many friends. At this moment, he is pulling Gu Yunyi and the other two over to introduce them to the students, and they soon become a group.
The hall was bustling with activity, and several people unconsciously raised their voices when discussing controversial academic topics.
Sun Jingyi had only been taking care of things at home before and seldom went out, let alone experienced these things. Now she was sitting in this hall where everyone was talking and chatting, and she seemed very uncomfortable, but her husband didn't care at all.
Sun Jingyi couldn't help but complain to Jiang Mingyu in her heart.
Turning around, he wanted to say a few words to Xu Qingmeng, but he saw her sitting there calmly.
She took a sip of her wine, and looked down on Xu Qingmeng from the bottom of her heart. She muttered to herself, "She is indeed a merchant lady who is used to being in the limelight."
Gu Yunyi and his friends were not people who did not know their limits, they simply said hello, acknowledged their faces, and returned after a while.
"Waiter, let's settle the bill." Huang Boyang was very happy to see his old friend. After sitting down, he prepared to pay for the bill out of his own pocket.
"My dear guests, are you going together or separately?"
"Come together, can you calculate the total amount?" Huang Boyang said directly.
Gu Yunyi and Zhou Yuanjia didn't care, after all, these three people often interacted with each other, but it was the first time that Jiang Mingyu met Huang Boyang, and he also knew that the man in front of him was the son of the county magistrate, so he didn't feel comfortable just guarding him like this.
He quickly said, "No, that's not possible. This is my first meal in the city, so let Mr. Huang pay for it. I'll do it."
"That being said, this meal is like my welcoming ceremony for you. Brother Jiang, there's no need to be so polite."
"No, no, let me do it, Mr. Huang, please let me do it."
The two kept pushing and shoving each other. Gu Yunyi and Zhou Yuanjia looked at each other, and Zhou Yuanjia said, "Let's just pay for our own things."
Originally, Gu Yunyi and Zhou Yuanjia had planned this as well.
"How can that be possible? I am so familiar with the city, I should be the one to entertain."
Gu Yunyi said, "Brother Huang, if you really want to treat us, it won't be too late to treat us after the results are announced."
"Okay, then I will set up a table for you in the best restaurant in the city." Huang Boyang shook his head with amusement.
In this way, Jiang Mingyu no longer worried about it.
Six bowls of noodles plus a few cold dishes and a small bowl of beef soup cost a total of 126 coins. He turned around and asked Sun Jingyi to take out 30 coins.
Sun Jingyi was stunned for a moment, and muttered quietly: "Isn't a bowl of noodles only eight cents?"
Although her voice was very soft, everyone still heard it.
A bowl of noodles costs eight cents, and the cold dishes are not expensive, all added up to probably only about thirty cents. But the bowl of soup costs more than thirty cents.
Although Sun Jingyi did not make her words clear, everyone present was not stupid and they all understood what she meant.
Xu Qingmeng just smiled, then took out fifty-six coins and said, "Let's order the beef soup, or let's make it ourselves."
Zhou Yuanjia and Huang Boyang didn't say anything, just looked at each other, and then took out the money.
Jiang Mingyu on the side was very embarrassed, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and glared at Sun Jingyi on the side.
Sun Jingyi and Jiang Mingyu had just been married for a short time, and they were still in that kind of lovey-dovey and clingy period. When had Sun Jingyi ever been glared at like this? She had always been cared for by Jiang Mingyu, and she felt even more aggrieved in her heart.
What she said was not wrong. She said we should pay for ourselves, so why should we pay so much money?
Although Sun Jingyi felt that she was not wrong, she still felt uncomfortable after being glared at by her man. On the way back, she followed Jiang Mingyu all the time and did not get close to Xu Qingmeng.
However, Jiang Mingyu felt very embarrassed and didn't say a word the whole way. However, the others didn't care. Once a few topics came up, they started chatting again.
Huang Boyang's yard was very close, just two blocks away.
The yard was inside the alley and the surroundings were relatively quiet, so the carriage was parked at the gate.
"The young master is here!" Old Li, who was guarding the yard, had sharp eyes. He spotted several people at a glance and hurried to greet them.
Huang Boyang nodded and said, "Uncle Li, the driver told you, have you found out if there is any yard that can be rented out nearby?"
"Sir, I found out that there is a place at the end of the alley, next to our yard, which is also for rent. I have already asked someone to notify the owner, and you can go and see the yard now."
"Okay." Huang Boyang turned his head and looked at a few people: "Shall we go over and take a look now?"
Everyone had no objection, so they all followed.
The yard next to Huang Boyang has three rooms with all the necessary facilities. The kitchen is large and clean.
The owner said that it had just been renovated and was now waiting for the theater to rent it out and make some money.
Several people saw it and were all very satisfied. The lighting in the three rooms was also very good.
Huang Boyang saw that no one had any objections, so he smiled and said, "Everyone is satisfied with this first one, so how about we set it here? I also live next door, so we can all keep each other company, how nice."
"Okay."
Jiang Mingyu also thought it was a good idea. Just as he was about to speak, Sun Jingyi tugged at the corner of his clothes. He turned around and glanced at his wife, feeling very puzzled.
Sun Jingyi smiled and said, "Why don't we take a look again? It's better to compare prices from three different stores. What if one of them is better than this one?"
