Chapter 185 Gift Incident (Part )
When Li Zhengxue saw Song Li, he remembered that incident and was naturally unhappy, but he had already come in and Xue Li had even greeted him, so now he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
"Brother Song Li, Brother Zhengde, you are here too? Buying rice?" Xue Li walked quickly forward and greeted Li Zhengde and Song Li.
Song Li turned around and saw that it was Xue Li. Naturally, he also saw Li Zhengxue following behind him, and the smile on his face faded a little.
"Yes, I'm buying some rice. What are you doing here?" Song Li glanced at Li Zhengxue with a distant tone.
Xue Li naturally wouldn't think that Song Li came out to buy rice for him, so by saying this he implied that he was helping Li Zhengde buy rice.
"Brother Xue Li is going to visit my home today. He was so polite that he insisted on choosing a few things as a gift. I have repeatedly told him that it was not necessary, but he said that it was a token of his heart, so I couldn't refuse." Li Zhengxue answered before Xue Li could speak, and at the same time, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally drifted from Li Zhengde.
Song Li let out a long "oh", looked at Xue Li with a half-smile in his eyes, turned his head and ignored him. Li Zhengde didn't say a word from beginning to end. Except for nodding to Xue Li at the beginning, he seemed to not know these two people at all. He just lowered his head and looked at the rice and flour in front of him.
"Put the things on the carriage." After Song Li instructed the servant, he turned around and said to Xue Li: "We still have things to do, so we won't delay you from choosing gifts. We'll leave first."
Xue Li wanted to say something more, especially wanted to talk to Li Zhengde again, but Song Li pulled Li Zhengde out of the door without giving him any chance.
Xue Li turned his head and glanced at Li Zhengxue who was picking things. He felt a greasy and nauseous feeling stuck in his chest. He barely suppressed it and watched Li Zhengxue pick and choose with a cold face.
"We need about 100 kilograms of japonica rice." Li Zhengxue looked around and pointed at the japonica rice and said to Li Zhengxue.
Xue Li nodded and said nothing.
It was just some japonica rice, and a hundred kilograms didn't cost much. Thinking of this, Xue Li felt that Li Zhengxue was not too outrageous.
"what is this?"
Just when Xue Li was about to speak, he heard Li Zhengxue pointing at a bag of rice placed high on the counter and asking the waiter.
"This?" The waiter rolled his eyes. "This is the most expensive rice in our store, called Lantian Jade. This rice is extremely valuable. Now all the rich families in the city eat this rice. One pound costs one tael of silver. Ordinary people can't afford it."
The price of one tael of silver per catty made Li Zhengxue look away, but the next moment the waiter's words made him turn his head back again.
"Those two people just bought a full ten kilograms. They are really generous. I don't see people like them for ten days or half a month."
The young man's words fell into Li Zhengxue's ears, and the bitterness in his heart slowly flowed out like juice that could burn people.
"I just took a look at it, and I also think that this rice is good and suitable for my status. How about this, Brother Xue Li, you can also buy ten kilograms as one of the gifts and send it to my house. How about it? It's only ten taels of silver, I don't think Brother Xue Li will mind." Li Zhengxue turned around and said to Xue Li.
"Brother Zhengxue, do you think it's appropriate?" Xue Li smiled and did not refuse. He just looked at Li Zhengxue with sarcasm in his eyes.
Any sane person would not continue to make such demands at this point, but Li Zhengxue still didn't think there was anything wrong.
"It's appropriate, of course it's appropriate. My status and identity are much higher than Li Zhengde's. If he can eat this one pound of blue sky jadeite, why can't I? I want this! Buddy, give me ten pounds!"
The guy is just a rice seller. He only knows that as long as he sells more, he will get more money. Why does he care about other people's unhappy faces? What does it have to do with him?
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment. I will load it for you right away." The young man agreed and praised Li Zhengxue left and right, pouring out nice words as if they were free.
Li Zhengxue had not heard such flattery from others for a long time. He looked very proud and enjoyed it very much. He felt that the ten taels of silver were well worth it.
But he forgot the most important thing. The ten taels of silver were spent. Regardless of whether it was worth it or not, the problem was that the ten taels of silver were not his!
Xue Li seemed to have calmed down suddenly at this moment. Looking at Li Zhengxue's smug look, he no longer had the anger and displeasure he had just had. Instead, he put on a smiling face. He was also very straightforward when paying, without any hesitation.
After coming out of the grain shop, Li Zhengxue went straight to the pastry shop. He took whatever was expensive and whatever looked impressive, without even looking at the price, or caring whether the food tasted good or was cost-effective.
Xue Li didn't say a word from beginning to end. He just followed Li Zhengxue to choose things, and he followed behind to pay.
Li Zhengxue didn't know what it meant to stop when he was satisfied. He just felt that Xue Li was encouraging him to buy more! So why would he be polite?
When Li Zhengxue finally felt that he had bought enough, Xue Lihua spent thirty-five taels of silver.
There are quite a few gifts like this. Even if they are sent to Master Cao, a few taels of silver will be enough. This Li Zhengxue really does not consider himself an outsider.
"Brother Xue Li, I've really cost you a lot of money today." Looking at the dazzling array of things in the carriage, Li Zhengxue thought of the envy that people would show when looking at him in a while, and he felt that there was no place on his body that was uncomfortable.
But after calming down, he realized that he had spent too much money. He glanced at Xue Li and felt a little uneasy.
Xue Li waved his hand and said, "As long as Brother Zheng can fulfill his promise to me, this little thing is really nothing, just a few dozen taels of silver. I, Xue Li, don't care about it."
The meaning is very clear. I can spend money on you. I don't care about this little bit of money, but you can't forget what you promised me.
Li Zhengxue was extremely confident about this matter. He was the eldest grandson of the Li family. What was this matter?
"Don't worry. I dare not say anything else, but I am absolutely sure about this matter. There will be no mistake." Li Zhengxue vowed.
Xue Li nodded in satisfaction and leaned against the carriage, wondering what he was thinking about.
At this time, Song Li and Li Zhengde had also prepared the gifts they were going to bring and were driving towards the countryside. The two cars left the town one after the other, but no one saw each other.
"I just saw those pieces of cloth and they all looked good. Why did you say you wouldn't let me buy any of them?"
