Chapter 434 We are half-siblings!
Chapter 434 We are half-siblings!
Yuan Zhuoyue also explained very patiently: "What it means is that the debts I owe can only be repaid by Zhongli, the guest official of Wangsheng Hall. He must not mix these debts with the public accounts of Wangsheng Hall to be reimbursed."
"Ah, I understand what you mean..." The clerk nodded in understanding, and then said in embarrassment: "It's just that the bill should be put on Mr. Zhongli's head... I wonder if the lady is..."
Yuan Zhuoyue immediately came closer cheerfully, raised his finger and pointed at his face, and said with a smile: "Come, come, take a look at what I look like."
The clerk looked at the pale, sickly, yet lively face in front of him, and said hesitantly, "... From the girl's appearance, her eyes and eyebrows do look very similar to Mr. Zhongli..."
Yuan Zhuoyue nodded repeatedly and began to make up stories again: "Yes, yes, I do have some relationship with him. Just treat me as... well, his long-lost half-sibling!"
Shop assistant: “……?”
Gui Zhong: “……?!”
Although the clerk was confused for a moment, he quickly figured out the meaning of the other party's words. Looking at the other party's slightly familiar features, he guessed that the other party might indeed have some kind of kinship connection with Mr. Zhongli.
But the words he said... were a little too outrageous? They were far from Mr. Zhongli's calm, measured, gentle and polite appearance.
The shop assistant who had once received this important customer, Wangshengtang, thought so in his mind.
Although he thought so in his mind, the clerk, who had seen many customers, would naturally not express this somewhat unreasonable thought in his mind out loud.
Instead, he smiled and said to Yuan Zhuoyue: "...I have never seen you in Liyue, nor have I heard Mr. Zhongli mention any relatives he has. Even if you are really Mr. Zhongli's sister, Mr. Zhongli is not here now. I can't rashly charge your expenses to Mr. Zhongli's account based on these words."
Gui Zhong didn't really care about Yuan Zhuoyue's attempt to blame Morax for his own expenses.
Although he faked his death and abdicated by means of a ceremony to invite the gods, Morax never used his authority as a god to create Mora for currency again.
But relying on his thousands of years of accumulation, those experiences and knowledge, even if Morax is penniless now.
You can also easily exchange it for considerable wealth in a very short period of time.
Although the jewelry that Yuan Zhuoyue had just taken a fancy to were exquisite and gorgeous, even if they were added together, from Gui Zhong's perspective, they could not be considered sky-high prices.
To them, it is just a drop in the bucket and not worth mentioning.
So when Yuan Zhuoyue expressed to the clerk that he wanted to charge these expenses to Morax, Gui Zhong really didn't have any objection at all.
As a bystander who accompanied Yuan Zhuoyue in his travels in Liyue, Gui Zhong remained calm in his heart when he saw Yuan Zhuoyue's series of behaviors, who suddenly became very lively and cheerful.
Until Yuan Zhuoyue suddenly blurted out the words "brother and sister".
When Gui Zhong heard these words, she suddenly shuddered and immediately became alert.
Although she still doesn't understand what kind of entanglement there is between Morax and Yuan Zhuoyue.
But just looking at the natural yet slightly inappropriate intimate attitude that Yuan Zhuoyue showed when he was with Morax.
And that way of combing power.
No matter what kind of relationship Yuan Zhuoyue and Morax have, the status of brother and sister, which is against etiquette, must not be given to them.
At least... not now.
Even the phrase "half-siblings" was understood by everyone who heard it to be tinged with nonsense.
We cannot leave such an impression on outsiders when Morax has not yet awakened and everything is still uncertain.
Gui Zhong, who had been silent for a long time, no longer chose to remain silent. He smiled and said to the clerk: "...What she said now was just some angry words. You should also know the current situation of Mo Ke and Zhong Li in Liyue Harbor. There were some frictions because of this. She was unhappy and naturally wanted to find some channels to vent her dissatisfaction."
However, these words were still ambiguous, and the relationship between Morax and Yuan Zhuoyue was not confirmed rashly.
It is well known that Mr. Zhongli lost his memory due to an accident when he fell into the sea. This is not an unspoken secret.
The clerk had met this specially appointed consultant of the Weaving Department several times, as well as Mr. Zhongli, a guest official of the Wangsheng Hall, and Mr. Xuanyue, who was good at feng shui and forging.
They often hang out together and seem to have a very good relationship. He has also heard Mr. Zhongli mention that those two are his close friends whom he has known for many years.
Now that Mr. Zhongli's close friend has spoken, her words are naturally credible.
The clerk looked thoughtful when he heard this: "...I wonder if Ms. Zhonggui means to put the expenses on Mr. Zhongli's account, or..."
Gui Zhong still stopped at the point and did not say anything final: "...You can rest assured that these expenses can naturally be charged to Zhongli's account."
The clerk glanced at Yuan Zhuoyue, with a look of surprise and hesitation on his face: "This girl, isn't she Mr. Zhongli's relative?"
Gui Zhong answered decisively: "...She just looks similar to Zhong Lisheng!"
The clerk pondered for a moment, then immediately revealed an expression of enlightenment, and then nodded in understanding: "I understand."
Gui Zhong just smiled and said nothing, but did not respond.
At this moment, Yuan Zhuoyue did not stick his neck out and insist that he and Morax were siblings.
Although Yuan Zhuoyue did not interrupt Gui Zhong's words at this time, he always felt that the ambiguous words Gui Zhong had just said were a little subtle.
For a moment, I couldn't figure it out, and I guessed what was wrong.
But since his account was smoothly recorded on Morax's head, Yuan Zhuoyue didn't say anything more.
It was only when the clerk was about to pack the things together that Yuan Zhuoyue spoke up at the right time: "... Don't be so anxious, let... Zhongli bring Mora to pick it up later."
The clerk was confused and didn't understand for a moment whether the deal was made or not.
Even if it was not done, it has been clearly recorded in the account book, and it will only take time to make up for it with the Bimora.
Even if it was done, the customer in front of him did not choose now to take away the goods he liked.
Let Mr. Zhongli bring Mora here in the future... Then why not bring Mora here again after some time and spend money here?
However, due to the trust in the special consultant of the Weaving Department and the guest official of the Wangsheng Hall, the clerk did not hesitate too much.
Just assume that the items have already been sold and the customers are just temporarily storing them with them.
It's just that I put those jewels and jade ornaments into a box covered with brocade and carefully package these valuable items to make them look better.
Then, a girl who looked very similar to Mr. Zhongli was heard smiling and saying, "By the way, those debts can only be paid by Zhongli, and no one else can pay for you!"
The clerk didn't understand what was going on, but just smiled and replied, "Okay."
