A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 190 I'm Not Going Back

Jiang Mingyun stared intently at Zhou Hanzhang. "Brother Hanzhang, can I go?"

"Why are you asking me this? If you want to go, then go."

Jiang Mingyun fell silent upon hearing this, then gave a wry smile, "No one has ever told me that I can do whatever I want."

"That's perfect. Now that I've told you, you can do whatever you want from now on, as long as you're true to yourself. You don't need to worry too much about others."

Jiang Mingyun felt as if a crack had appeared in her mind; this was the first time she had felt this way since her rebirth.

Brother Hanzhang is indeed different.

"Yes."

Jiang Mingyun agreed with a smile tinged with tears in her eyes.

Zhou Hanzhang was somewhat confused, wondering how he had touched a nerve with her.

They stayed in the Xianggui Elegant Garden until the end of Hai hour.

Zhou Hanzhang glanced at the sky and realized it was getting late, so he prepared to take Jiang Mingyun back.

After all, he still had to undergo grueling training early the next morning.

As soon as they stepped out the door, they encountered a drunk man following a girl upstairs.

When he saw Xiangxiang bring Zhou Hanzhang and Jiang Mingyun out, his eyes lit up. "Xiangxiang, you're not being fair. You didn't even tell me that such a beautiful young lady had come to Yayuan."

Xiangxiang, always adhering to the principle of putting customers first, smiled and said, "Young Master Zhang, these two are not from our Yayuan. They are guests of Yayuan, just like you, here for leisure."

The man visibly disappointed. "What a pity..."

He also let out a burp, and a burst of alcohol fumes erupted, causing Zhou Hanzhang and Jiang Mingyun to frown.

Xiangxiang, with great tact, stood in front of the two of them, blocking the man's view. "Young Master Zhang, I'll take the guests out first."

The man, drunk, grabbed Xiangxiang and hiccuped again, "Hiccup... Xiangxiang, don't go, have a couple of drinks with me before you leave."

He had just finished speaking with Xiangxiang when he pulled her away and looked at Zhou Hanzhang and Jiang Mingyun. “Gentlemen, it’s fate that we met. It’s not too late now. How about I… hiccup, I’ll treat you to a drink, as if we’re getting to know each other?”

Zhou Hanzhang was about to get angry, but then he remembered that Liu Niang had already given this place to him, and he couldn't just kick out the guests, so he suppressed his anger and forced a smile, "Sorry, we have something to do and we have to leave first."

She grabbed Jiang Mingyun and tried to leave.

To everyone's surprise, this young master Zhang had absolutely no sense of propriety and insisted on pulling Zhou Hanzhang along, saying, "Young master, give me some face, just have two drinks and I'll let you...you leave."

Zhou Hanzhang frowned, but had not yet spoken.

Jiang Mingyun rushed out and immediately started cursing, "Who do you think you are, to expect me and Brother Hanzhang to drink with you?!"

Alcohol emboldens the timid.

Seeing that Jiang Mingyun was angry, the man found her even more alluring. He bowed to her and reached out his hand, almost touching her.

"Greetings, young lady. I am the son of the richest man in Cuiyan Town. This, this entire Cuiyan Town..."

Zhou Hanzhang, unable to bear it any longer, slapped his hand away. "Xiangxiang, throw him out!"

Xiangxiang originally thought that peace was the most important thing, but who knew that this young master Zhang was really going too far. Without hesitation, she ordered her men to throw him out.

After throwing the man out, she sighed, "Young Master is the best. I've put up with this guy for so long, but he always spends a lot of money every time he comes over. I thought it would be stupid not to make money, and I couldn't help but feel bad about wasting money every time I wanted to send him away. But now that Young Master has spoken, I don't have to worry about it anymore."

Zhou Hanzhang, having grown up in a wealthy merchant family, quickly grasped the meaning of "silver": "Spending a lot of silver?"

"It's quite a lot. Each time I come, I spend several taels (one tael is approximately equal to 5000 yuan)."

"It's alright, a few ounces is fine, we don't lack that little bit." Zhou Hanzhang was very generous.

“Gold,” Xiangxiang continued. (One tael of gold is equal to eight taels of silver)

Zhou Hanzhang immediately did the math in his head: wouldn't this young master Zhang be spending at least 100,000 at a time?

Good heavens, did I kick out a VVVIP customer?

How can this be allowed?

"Hey, Xiangxiang, can we bring him back? He's drunk, he probably doesn't remember us throwing him out. He didn't even lay a hand on us, so we can all tolerate it."

"No, he was about to touch Miss Jiang." Xiangxiang's eyes widened.

“He didn’t touch her, and besides, we must have misunderstood. He might not have wanted to touch Mingyun; maybe he just wanted to extend his hand as a greeting? Quick, bring him back.”

Xiangxiang sighed and then ordered someone to bring Young Master Zhang back.

When Young Master Zhang was brought in, he kept cursing, "You actually dared to kick me out! I, hiccup, I'm going to call my dad to take you all out! You won't be able to stay in Cuiyan Town!"

When Zhou Hanzhang met Young Master Zhang, he looked like a walking gold ingot.

"I'm so sorry, I think I've mistaken you for someone else. My sister has an enemy who looks a lot like you, so there was a slight misunderstanding. You are so handsome and dashing, you must be a person with a broad mind. I hope you won't mind such a small matter?"

Young Master Zhang was pleased by Zhou Hanzhang's flattery. "Hiccup, I didn't realize you had such good taste. Are you sure her enemy looks like me? Can he be as handsome as me?"

Zhou Hanzhang lied through his teeth, "No, I only realized I had mistaken you for someone else after discovering you didn't exist. Please don't be offended, young master."

Young Master Zhang waved his hand, "Never mind, you didn't mean it."

He just felt he rarely saw such an amazing person and only wanted to make friends with him. Who knew that Zhou Hanzhang would make a move and have Xiangxiang throw him out.

Although he is wealthy and powerful, he is not stupid. There are very few people who can get Xiangxiang to do things. He was just venting his anger. Although he can disrupt Xianggui Yayuan and prevent it from doing business, if that happens, he will definitely be more affected.

After considering it all, it's not worth it.

Now that Zhou Hanzhang had offered him a way out, he didn't rush to accept it.

"Xiangxiang, call Honghong over, I still need her to serve me."

The girl who had led Young Master Zhang up earlier, Honghong, came to his side with a smile and helped him up affectionately. "Young Master Zhang," she said, "I thought you had forgotten about me."

"How could that be? You are my darling. Come, Xiangxiang, bring me the best wine we have here. I made a new friend today, and I'm so happy."

Thinking of the money, Zhou Hanzhang was happy to have a couple of drinks with him. He turned to Xiangxiang and instructed her, "Xiangxiang, please arrange for someone to send Mingyun back for me."

The girls of Xianggui Yayuan cannot be subdued by power. For Honghong to act this way towards this young master, she must have gained a lot from him.

He's a great god of wealth!

Jiang Mingyun tugged at Zhou Hanzhang's sleeve and whispered, "Brother Hanzhang, I won't go back. I'll only go back if you go back."

"Listen to me, go back first, I'll have a couple of drinks with the guests."

"Then I'll wait for you."
