"I didn't expect to meet the famous Third Brother Cheng in this small shop. It's really a blessing!”
The arrogant man had to lower his status and bow to Cheng Chu Bi.
In Taiji Palace and the Yin Yang Hall, he had seen with his own eyes how this person schemed against the Yue King, Li Tai, and Zhangsun Chong!
Although it was just a quick glance!
However, that sinister and creepy smile was firmly imprinted in his mind!
"I dare not be famous. I'm just a prodigal. I'm indebted to all the brothers for calling me 'Third Brother'!”
Cheng Chubi kicked away the servant who was wailing on the ground. He said it very lightly, but the perverse smile in his eyes showed that he was enjoying it.
Third Brother Cheng?
Could he be Cheng Chubi?
Zhangsun Le's heart shook. He remembered it and didn't say anything. He helped his maid Yue 'er to the side. His crystal-like eyes were filled with joy, worry, resentment, anger, and sorrow. It was as if he had been tricked into drinking 82-year-old Shanxi vinegar. All kinds of emotions were mixed!
The aloof man's deep eyes lit up when he heard that!
It was indeed Cheng Chubi!
"Since third brother is present, then I will give third brother face today and let this matter go!”
The arrogant man cupped his hands to Cheng Chu Bi, then waved his hand to signal the servants to retreat.
A trace of unwillingness and disappointment flashed across Xiao Meng's lecherous eyes. Although he was unwilling, there was nothing he could do!
Who asked him to have such a big fist? Now, he could only treat it as hitting an iron plate!
Seeing that the Xiao family was about to go downstairs, Zhangsun Le frowned and stood up. Her mouth was open and her white teeth were about to vomit.
"Women should stay by the side when it comes to this kind of thing. If the sky falls, there will be men to hold it up!”
Looking at Zhangsun Le standing up angrily, Cheng Chu Bi's expression was not good either. He immediately pulled Zhangsun Le to the side, pressed his neck against his neck, and scolded him!
Was he worried about her?
Zhangsun Le's long eyelashes fluttered, and his bright and small eyes were not because of Cheng Chubi's reprimand and resentment. Instead, they were a little bright.
"Come back, did I let you go?”
Like an ordinary local ruffian, Cheng Chu Bi yawned and shouted listlessly.
"May I know if third brother has any other instructions?”
The arrogant man frowned and turned around to bow to Cheng Chu Bi again.
"If I let you go just like that, people will think that I, Cheng Chubi, am unreasonable and bullying people! How am I going to play around Chang 'an Fortress in the future?”
"Then, I wonder if third brother has any brilliant ideas?”
The tall man's thick eyebrows tightened, and a fiery light flashed in the corner of his eyes!
This Cheng Chubi is too arrogant. Your maid offended me and wanted to stop me to make trouble for your maid. I didn't find trouble with you. It's already enough for you!
"I don't dare to be so wise. As a little handmaiden, I don't know the rules. I offended you and dirtied your beautiful clothes! Here, I apologize to you on behalf of my little handmaiden!”
Cheng Chu Bi wasn't as arrogant as the man had imagined. He was like a benevolent person, a living Bodhisattva.
"I don't know how much the original price of your clothes is, but I'll naturally return it to you in double! "Also, I was reckless and attacked too ruthlessly just now. I think these two brothers are also injured. I wonder how much the medical expenses are?”
"I don't dare, I don't dare! It's just a small matter, what's there to mention!"
The man's face turned red. He could not figure out the situation for a moment. His eyes rolled around and he did not know what to do.
"Since you are too embarrassed to speak, then I will make my own decision! Jun 'er, bring five taels of gold over!"
Third Brother, did you eat too much tonic just now and your head got pinched by your thigh!
Third Brother, was it because the one month of house arrest was too severe that you were stunned at home!
The few silkpants also didn't know what was going on. They looked at Cheng Chu Bi who was beaming with joy and felt like he was a living treasure.
Even the usually silly Fang Jun felt that his third brother was going crazy today. However, he still obeyed Cheng Chubi's order and unwillingly took out five taels of gold from his sleeve and handed it to Cheng Chubi.
"Five taels of gold!"
The eyes of the servants of the Xiao family bulged as they stared at the dazzling gold and drooled!
They had never seen so much money in their lives!
Five taels of gold at once. Not to mention them, even Xiao Xiong, who thought he was a spendthrift, felt ashamed of his inferiority!
Although it wasn't considered money for a silkpants, especially for Cheng Chu Bi who had received 30,000 strings of coins from Second Emperor Li!
However, five taels of gold was really a lot!
It was equivalent to the annual expenses of six or seven ordinary families!
According to the Biography of Wei Zheng,"Emperor (Taizong) ascended the throne for four years…a bucket of rice costs three coins.”
Three wens for a bucket of rice!
One had to know that a bucket of rice in the Tang Dynasty was ten liters, and each liter weighed about 1.25 jin!
A bucket of rice weighed 12.5 jin!
However, one jin of rice was worth at least three pieces!
"I don't dare. My clothes aren't worth so much! The injuries of the servants were not a big deal. They could not afford to be so rich!”
"I told you to take it, so you took it. If you don't take it, you're looking down on me!”
In everyone's eyes, Cheng Chu Bi was like a rich nouveau riche, showing off his stupidity!
"Third brother, it's hard to refuse good intentions, then it would be impolite of me to refuse! I will take my leave!"
After a round of shirking, the man still accepted Cheng Chubi's gold and led the servants back.
"Wait!"
"Third brother, do you have any other instructions?"
This time, when he turned around, the man's smile became even wider. Even a fool would not make things difficult for a rich man!
"I just spent five taels of gold. Shouldn't you take off your clothes and give them to me?”
