Chapter 232: Chapter 23: Watch Your Words! Who Doesn’t Have a Few Poor Relatives? (Asking for Monthly Tickets)
...
Since the guests have said so.
Wang Shouzhe couldn’t reject his face and had to show a kindly look and say, "Lici, then thank your Uncle Shouyue."
"Thank you, Uncle Shouyue, you really are a good person." Wang Lici smiled foolishly, then sat down eagerly, looking eager and waiting for the dishes to be served.
Wang Shouyue felt very comforted, the "uncle" was addressed so sweetly.
This simple and naive girl seemed to bring him full positive energy, making his heart, which had suffered trauma, feel a warm current.
Comfortable!
Indeed, spending time with the weak is stress-free and pleasing to the heart.
Wang Xiaozheng, on the other hand, didn’t particularly notice Wang Lici’s cultivation, after all, the girl was still wearing a high-level breath concealment pendant.
As for Wang Shouzhe, he was also wearing a breath concealment pendant, which made Wang Xiaozheng unable to see his cultivation, accidentally intimidating them a bit.
However, Wang Xiaozheng seemed to be at the early stage of the Spirit Platform Realm, evidently giving up on the Path of Celestial Human.
Probably not a match for Wang Shouzhe.
And Wang Xiaozheng, from before entering, had been pondering that the gift initially given on behalf of Ancestor Zhoubo was only worth 2,000 Qian Gold.
The other seven or eight thousand Qian Gold worth of gifts were meant for making connections with local elites such as Young Master Chen and Young Master Tantai.
But now it seems.
Now this 2,000 Qian Gold feels like it’s there to slap faces.
Gritting his teeth.
Wang Xiaozheng, taking advantage of the opportunity to go to the restroom, revised the gift list, and at this time, cheerfully presented it, "Patriarch Shouzhe, this is the resource our Ancestor Zhoubo entrusted me with. It’s not much, please don’t laugh, please don’t laugh."
Wang Shouzhe followed proper etiquette, accepted it with both hands, glanced at the list, and said with a smile, "The Longzuo Wang Family truly lives up to the name of the Celestial Human Family, what generosity. This gift must be worth at least 5,000 Qian Gold, right?"
5,000 Qian Gold?
Wang Shouye, Wang Zongwei, and Wang Luotong, who were also there, were slightly surprised, not expecting the Longzuo Wang Family to be so generous, bringing a gift worth 5,000 Qian Gold.
This far exceeded their expectations.
Wang Shouyue was also surprised, originally said it was 2,000, oh, right, it must be that Third Grandfather saw the situation was not right and immediately added another 3,000.
These additional 3,000 Qian Gold were well added, added marvelously. This displayed the strength of our Longzuo Wang Family.
His severely frustrated self-esteem suddenly came alive, as if feeling a bit proud, and his spirit soared.
Look at the expressions of those young lads and lasses, they all seemed shocked.
Immediately.
With a smile, Wang Shouyue bowed to Wang Shouzhe, "Fourth Brother Shouzhe, our two families are of the same root and branch, naturally we should help each other. This time we came in a hurry, a mere 5,000 Qian Gold resources are really nothing."
"Uh... it does seem like not much." Beside, Wang Lici said truthfully ’mumbled’ as a side comment.
In her view, if she were allowed to eat freely, turning all those 5,000 Qian Gold into Tier Three Spiritual Flesh, she probably wouldn’t be able to eat for many days.
Came all this way just to deliver 5,000 Qian Gold worth of resources.
With that effort, they might as well form a team to the Outer Domain to hunt a Tier Three Ferocious Beast.
Wang Shouyue’s smile suddenly froze on his face...
As soon as Wang Lici finished speaking, she was fiercely glared at by Wang Shouzhe: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, you’ll be banned from spiritual food for half a year."
"Exactly." ’Elder’ Wang Shouye also said to Wang Lici earnestly, "Big Girl, you’re still too young to understand the meaning of ’a light gift but a heavy sentiment’."
Holy "light gift but heavy sentiment"!
The rigid smile on Wang Shouyue’s face twitched a few times, what kind of rebuke is this?
"Alright." As the only "ancestor" accompanying, Ancestor Xiaohan said with a stern face, "What do you junior understand? Even in a Celestial Human Family, not much money can be saved in a year. Don’t talk like you’re well-fed and don’t know what hunger is like for others."
Uh...
What do you mean well-fed and hungry?
Seeing those words.
Even Wang Shouyue, let alone anyone else, felt embarrassed and blushed.
"Alright, alright." Wang Luotong also found it both funny and annoying, secretly thinking what kind of emotional intelligence do these family members have? Immediately, she stepped in to mediate, "Everyone, be mindful of your words, doesn’t every family have one or two poor relatives?"
The two guests from Longzuo were nearly about to crawl under the table.
"..." Wang Shouzhe broke into a cold sweat, this meal shouldn’t have let you accompany. If you continue talking, I reckon they would lose their appetites.
As clan leader, he could only step up and say, "Jokes end here, serve the dishes."
With Wang Shouzhe’s order.
Servants and maids brought up the prepared spiritual food and spirit wine one by one, using some high-quality spiritual flesh and spirit fish. All were produced in Anjiang and Outer Domain, processed with ice fresh treatment, they were quite fresh.
The bowls and plates used were all fine porcelain. However, the wine glasses and some special plates and bowls were habitually made with high-quality glassware by the maids.
"This..." Wang Shouyue’s eyes lit up, picking up a crystal clear glass cup, "This is a top-grade foreign glass cup, top-grade ones aren’t so crystal clear, this must be the legendary top-grade foreign glass cup, Fourth Brother Shouzhe is indeed lavish."
"If Shouyue likes it, I’ll give you a set when you leave, and Ancestor Xiaozheng can also have a set." Wang Shouzhe smiled in a way that was like a warm breeze.
"Fourth Brother Shouzhe is indeed generous, a set like this would sell for at least two to three hundred Qian Gold in the Commandery city." At this point, Wang Shouyue didn’t want to compete for superiority anymore.
