Chapter 316

She could not blame herself. The robe belonged to Immortal Fire Dragon. He was a person from ten thousand years ago. How could his dressing not be retro?

Moreover, the long robe was very tight on the body, and not even a speck of dust could touch it. It was obviously a treasure, so how could Zhang Xiaohua be willing to change it?

But thinking about other people's eyes, Zhang Xiaohua still had the intention to retreat. Public opinion was powerful. She could not be too unconventional.

While she was thinking, the waiter had already made the tea and waited at the side. Zhang Xiaohua was puzzled at first. When she was about to pick up the teacup to taste it, she suddenly thought that the waiter was asking her for a tip.

"It's all because of this robe. Why not just a cup of water? Why do you want Longjing tea? Alas, for this robe, I even have to spend money!"

This money-grubber did not even think about the countless Luminous Pearl in his money bag. Even the treasures he got from the secret chamber in Xicui Mountain were not much. Now he actually cared about being tipped by others!

Zhang Xiaohua groped in her clothes for a long time. She frowned. The money bag was full of shocking things. She could not take out anything. What was in the money bag were the pieces of silver and a few banknotes that Zhang Xiaohu gave her when she came out of the Guozhuang House a few years ago. Where would she get the copper coins?

After thinking for a while, she said to the waiter who had been longing for a long time, "Waiter, how much is this tea?"

"Silver?

Young master, you must be joking. It's only fourteen copper coins. "

Zhang Xiaohua was helpless. She took out the smallest piece of silver from the money bag. It was about two copper coins. She threw it to the waiter and said, "Waiter, it's not that I don't want to give you a tip. It's just that I don't have any copper coins. This silver is the money for the tea and the tip. I'll give you a total of twenty copper coins. Give me the change later."

When the waiter heard this, the smile on his face disappeared. He thought that this young master was generous and did not need the change. Who knew …

The waiter impatiently took the money and handed it back. He said, "Dear customer, our teahouse is a small business. How can we have so much loose change for you?

Why don't you give me some copper coins? "

Zhang Xiaohua laughed and said, "Xiao 'er, if I had some copper coins, I would have given them to you long ago. Why would I give you silver?"

The shop assistant looked at him and said sarcastically, "Young Master, the smallest piece of silver you have is two taels. You don't know that it's almost enough to buy our tea shed. You're really generous!"

Hearing the word "generous", Zhang Xiaohua suddenly understood that this snobbish shop assistant wanted her to give him all the money without asking for change.

How was this possible?

Not to mention that his parents, elder brother, and elder sister-in-law were working in the fields all day long, and they might not even be able to earn one silver coin a day. He was working as a manservant in Huan Xi Manor, and his monthly salary was only three silver coins. How could he casually spend these two silver coins?

After all, he was a real country boy, not some hedonistic son of a rich family.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the shop assistant and took back the silver with a smile. He said, "It's okay. I haven't drunk a sip of this tea. You can take it back. Just consider that I didn't come in today."

After that, he stood up and was about to leave.

The shop assistant could not take it anymore. He hurriedly grabbed his hand and said, "You … You … Today you bully people. Do you want to rely on your money to bully us poor people?"

"You!" Zhang Xiaohua heard that this guy actually said so and could not help but be annoyed.

At this time, a manservant who was boiling water for the kettle hurried over and saluted, "Big Brother Yao, this young master, don't worry. This young master, if you believe me, give this silver to me. I'll go to the front and help you change it into copper coins. What do you think?"

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned. He looked at the manservant with a long nose and shabby clothes. However, his eyes were abnormally clear. He was not afraid to face Zhang Xiaohua's question.

"Pei, Xiaohua Ji, you manservant Xiaohua, hurry up and burn your fire. Be careful that I don't report you to the shopkeeper."

"Xiaohua!?"

Zhang Xiaohua's eyes flashed with interest. He asked, "Your name is Xiaohua Ji, little flower?"

The manservant was a little shy and said, "Yes, this young master is little flower."

"Why isn't your surname Zhang?"

Zhang Xiaohua asked with interest.

Xiaohua Ji saw that this young master was very amiable and also very respectfully replied, "My father's surname is Ji and my mother's surname is Zhang. Naturally, I followed my father's surname. How can I follow my mother's surname?"

Zhang Xiaohua laughed and said, "Xiaohua, how old are you?"

"Nine years old, young master."

"Humph, your father died when you were seven years old. Your life is really tough. Even your mother is sick because of you."

The shop assistant said somewhat fiercely, "In a few days, you will change your surname to Zhang Xiaohua. Hehe, what a funny name. From Ji Xiaohua to Zhang Xiaohua, how unpleasant to hear."

"Shua", Zhang Xiaohua grabbed the teacup on the table and splashed it on the shop assistant's face. His face was ashen and said, "Shut up, did I let you speak?"

When Zhang Xiaohua was angry, there was a faint imposing manner. The shop assistant was so scared that he almost forgot to wipe the tea on his face. Fortunately, the tea had been dried for a while and was no longer boiling hot. Otherwise … …

At this time, the shopkeeper of the tea house heard the noise from outside and hurriedly came in. He didn't ask about the situation and immediately apologized. Zhang Xiaohua ignored him. He smiled and handed the silver to Xiaohua Ji and said, "Okay, this silver is for you. Help me exchange it."

The shopkeeper hurriedly persuaded, "This young master, no need. This tea is on me. You don't have to pay."

How could Zhang Xiaohua take advantage of him like this? He smiled and said, "It's not easy for you to do business here. Naturally, you should take money. However, my silver didn't grow on trees. I can't give it to you for free."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand at Xiaohua Ji and let him go.

At this time, a man at the table next to them stood up and said, "This young master, perhaps you rarely go out."

Zhang Xiaohua saw and smiled, "Yes, I've always been studying at home. I rarely go out."

The man walked over and said, "There's a saying in the pugilistic world. Rely on your parents at home and rely on your friends when you go out. Since we can meet in such a remote place, it can be considered fate. Little brother, I'll pay for the tea for you. Come over and have a chat?"

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the man and didn't want to pay much attention to him. However, she thought that she still needed to find out the location of Ping Yang City and Lu Town. Perhaps she could get some information from this man. Hence, she smiled and said, "Sure, I admire people like you who roam the pugilistic world. I'd like to learn a thing or two from you."

After she finished speaking, she invited the man to take a seat. The shopkeeper and the shop assistant saw that they had nothing to do and left. However, since no one was around to light the fire, the shop assistant had to do it himself.

The man and Zhang Xiaohua sat down together and chatted casually. From time to time, he bragged about his experiences in the pugilistic world. He didn't forget to show off his muscles and martial arts skills. Then, he discreetly tried to find out more about Zhang Xiaohua.

At this moment, how could Zhang Xiaohua not understand anything?

She only smiled perfunctorily and started to talk nonsense while waiting for Xiaohua Ji to return.

After chatting for a while, the man saw the long sword by Zhang Xiaohua's feet. He smiled and said, "Brother Wu, do you like swordsmanship?

If there's time, I can indeed introduce you to a famous pugilistic expert. When the time comes, he can also give you a good sword. How can you bring out such a crude sword? "As he said that, he kicked it with his feet.

Zhang Xiaohua stepped on the long sword without a trace and said, "I just casually picked it up.

Oh right, Brother Xu, I have something to ask you. "

Just as she was about to speak, the scabby-headed Ji Xiaohua Ji came back from outside, panting. His hands were tightly wrapped around his chest. He ran all the way to Zhang Xiaohua's side and then heaved a sigh of relief. He took out an even smaller piece of silver and a large pile of copper coins from his chest and said breathlessly, "Young Master, please wait. This is one tael of silver and a hundred copper coins."

Zhang Xiaohua asked, "Why did it take so long?

Didn't you say it was just beside?

I thought you took my money and ran away. "

Ji Xiaohua Ji's face turned red and said anxiously, "How could I? The shops beside all have copper coins. I was afraid that it would be difficult for Young Master to take them, so I went to a few shops and finally found one tael of silver.

Oh, Young Master, please count it. "

Zhang Xiaohua smiled. He had already used his divine senses to scan the whole pile of copper coins. Not a single one was missing.

He said, "No need, I believe you!"

Ji Xiaohua Ji's face turned even redder. He smiled embarrassedly and continued to walk to the fire to boil water.

Zhang Xiaohua kept all the copper coins on the table and did not take out a single copper coin. He then asked the man, "I want to ask Brother Xu something. Do you know Ping Yang City?"

"Ping Yang City?"

The man was stunned and immediately said, "I know, I know. A few years ago, when I was running darts, I always went to Ping Yang City. I'm very familiar with it."

"I see. I heard that there's a scenery called 'Calm Lake and Autumn Moon' in Ping Yang City. I've admired it for a long time and really want to take a look. But I don't know how to get there?"

"Oh, I see. The scenery you mentioned is in the south of Ping Yang City. It's really not bad. My martial brothers in Ping Yang City often invited me there to admire it.

As for how to get to Ping Yang City, you see, from this road to the west, pass through Songning Town, walk for another day, then head north. Hmm, walk for another seventeen or eighteen days and you should reach there. "

"Hehe, I know. Thank you very much, Brother Xu.

I still have some matters to attend to, so I won't take up any more of your precious time. "

With that, he cupped his hands and picked up the long sword at his feet. He shouted to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, this Master Xu has paid for my bill."

Then, he walked out in big strides.

He left the man who was sitting at the old table behind him. He raised his hand and opened his mouth. He wanted to say something but could not. He wanted to wave but could not. He looked awkward!

The shopkeeper walked forward and smiled. "Thank you, Master Xu. It's a total of twenty copper coins."

The man shouted, "What nonsense is this Longjing? It's no different from drinking plain water. Do you think I'm that white sheep? Here, it's ten copper coins. Take it or leave it."

With that, he threw out a large sum of money from his pocket.

Just as the shopkeeper was collecting the money, the mangy-headed pageboy who was boiling water also rubbed his hands and gritted his teeth. He seemed to have made a decision. When he saw that the shopkeeper was not paying attention, he ran out in a flash.

PS: I'm really grateful for Dongguo's comments. My heart feels warm. Haha.
