Ch 64: Compensate You With One Hundred Taels Of Silver Notes? Why Don’t You Just Rob Me?

But regardless of whether this Old Man is a high-ranking official or some Noble or old Prince, he should act as he should, without watching his expression, and without deliberately accommodating him.

Moreover, Sun Jian is still fuming about today’s events!

Since he came, he must be made to pay!

“Young Friend, please sit.”

After the Old Man settled his two Attendants, he quickly asked Sun Jian to sit down.

Sun Jian was quite unceremonious, directly sitting on the rosewood chair, and conveniently pouring himself a cup of wine.

Sun Jian didn’t rush to greet the Old Man, but instead looked at the Three Women behind him.

“Zijian, Qingcheng, Wan’er, you’ve all been running around all day, it’s almost afternoon, come sit down and have a meal.”

However, Chu Qingcheng and Gu Zijian repeatedly shook their heads.

“Husband…this…this isn’t appropriate?”

“Yes, Husband, since ancient times, there’s no reason for a Wife to dine at the table when the Husband is dining out. This concubine can serve the Husband from the side…”

As a Miss from a prominent family, Chu Qingcheng’s upbringing instilled these thoughts in her.

Although the Chu family’s fortunes declined, and she herself became a captive, her Husband is not a Commoner, nor an easily manipulated person.

On the contrary, her Husband’s future is limitless.

These etiquettes are appearances, respect, and also her Husband’s dignity.

In this era, the status of Women is very low.

“Husband leads the Wife, Minister leads the official, Father leads the Son,” this is ingrained in their bones.

Let alone officials in government positions, Generals in the army, not to mention those Noble Clans, Merchants, and even the Wives of small landowners must observe etiquette.

Those Commoners may be able to eat with their Wives at home, but when meeting friends outside, they cannot do so.

Sun Jian felt helpless; the two Women’s attitudes were firm, and he didn’t know what to say for a while.

At this moment, Zhou Wan’er, who had not spoken, stared at the Old Man for a long time with the corner of her eye, before breaking the deadlock.

“Oh, he asked you to sit, so sit. Things have come to this, why so much fuss.”

Although Zhou Wan’er spoke frankly, her actions showed the grace of a well-bred young lady.

She gently pulled out a chair, tidied her clothes, and then sat down.

Seeing Zhou Wan’er’s cheerful personality, Sun Jian found a breakthrough.

“There’s no need to be concerned with those formalities, when away from home, keep things simple, Husband asks you to sit, you sit. Could it be that you intend to defy your Husband’s words?”

Sun Jian also imitated the Old Man’s tone and spoke to the two Women.

“But…”

Chu Qingcheng glanced at the smiling Old Man and still hesitated.

“Oh, don’t ‘but’ me, look at how straightforward Wan’er is, and besides, they invited us to dinner; they can’t not let my Wife sit at the table, can they?”

After Sun Jian finished speaking, he looked at the Old Man.

Seeing Sun Jian’s actions, a subtle shine flashed in the Old Man’s eyes, and his gaze became more probing.

He nodded, and with a hearty laugh, said: “Everyone sit, no one needs to be restrained.”

“Then alright…”

Seeing that both parties asked them to sit, Chu Qingcheng and Gu Zijian couldn’t say anything more, and sat beside Sun Jian.

However, they were still somewhat restrained, and their speech and mannerisms were somewhat stiff.

After the meal began, the other party didn’t speak, and Sun Jian didn’t bother to wait any longer. After tossing and turning for half a day and expending a lot of energy, he was already starving.

He ate heartily.

While eating, he didn’t forget to serve dishes to Gu Zijian, Zhou Wan’er, and Chu Qingcheng.

He gestured for them to eat without hesitation.

Sun Jian’s eating habits were like a pig possessed, causing everyone present to feel embarrassed.

Especially Wang De, who was beside him, his face turned green and then red, glancing at Sun Jian, then at his Master’s changing expression, not daring to speak easily.

On the other hand, the Old Man, seeing Sun Jian’s appearance, not only wasn’t angry, but his expression became more amiable, and his expression even seemed to show the affection of an elder towards a junior.

The Old Man shook his head with a wry smile and said to the strong man who was eating small portions and looking very restrained: “Li You, for your brother Li Mu, I’ll offer a toast to our Young Friend, as an apology for today’s events.”

“Yes!”

Although the strong man was very reluctant, he dared not disobey his Master’s words, so he could only pick up his wine cup, force a smile, and offer a toast to Sun Jian.

He put on a sincere apology.

“Young Friend, my name is Li You, my brother Li Mu was the one who fought you on the street today.”

“Because he broke a few ribs, he has gone to see a doctor, so he cannot apologize in person. Today…today I apologize to you for my brother Li Mu. He was indeed reckless and almost injured you and your three Wives.”

“Regarding compensation, we will do as you wish, my brother Li Mu and I will have no objections and will comply.”

“Today he also broke a few ribs for this matter, but that was his…his own fault, you are a magnanimous person, let’s forget about this, drink this apology wine, and this matter will be considered over, how about that?”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Sun Jian, wanting to see how he would respond.

Normally, given the other party’s status, Sun Jian, a mere Commoner, Li Mu’s words had already reached this point, Sun Jian should have smiled and let bygones be bygones, and not held a grudge.

But Sun Jian was not normal.

As soon as he spoke, he stunned everyone.

What he cared about was not the apology or the sincere attitude.

He only cared about compensation and money…

“Compensation? How much?” Sun Jian lazily took a bite of vegetables.

“You!”

Li You was clearly furious, his beard and eyes bristling, by Sun Jian’s unexpected response.

He was the one who had broken his brother’s ribs, he was unscathed, and now he had even bowed and scraped, but the other party actually said such a thing.

What was his status? What was his background? To be so rebuked by a commoner.

But his master was still sitting beside him, even if he was angry, he had to endure it!

Li You suppressed his anger and obsequiously changed his tone: “You…you say how much…”

“I say how much?” Sun Jian continued to press.

Li You’s fists clenched and trembled, but he still obsequiously repeated: “Yes, you say how much.”

“You don’t refute?”

“I don’t refute!”

“Willingly?”

“Willingly!”

“Really?”

“Really!”

“Indeed?”

“Indeed!”

Sun Jian pursed his lips, “Then it’s One Hundred Taels of Silver Notes!”

“What??”

Li You was instantly shocked.

One Hundred Taels of Silver Notes??

This guy must be joking!

He thought this guy would just symbolically make a gesture, but he didn’t expect him to be so brazen!

He’s just a Commoner, at the end of the year, he struggles to come up with even a thousand cash, one Tael of Silver can be exchanged for a thousand cash, he dares to ask for one hundred taels??

Has he ever seen what One Hundred Taels look like?

One Hundred Taels of Silver Notes converted to actual silver weighs 8 kilograms! Even an ordinary person would find it heavy to carry!
