After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.
Chapter 285 Who’s Treating
Mingjun and Xu Honglei chatted while eating. Mingjun tried to talk about some topics about reading, but found that Xu Honglei didn't pick up the conversation at all, so he stopped talking about reading.
Ming Jia has been eating silently by herself. It is indeed a restaurant in the capital. Xu Honglei ordered all the signature dishes, and they all taste very good.
After having enough wine and food, Xu Honglei naturally called the waiter and planned to pay the bill. As a result, when Xu Honglei put his hands on his waist, he froze instantly.
In fact, as the youngest son of the Cavalry General, Xu Honglei could not settle the bill and let the restaurant go to the general's house to settle the bill. However, he had spent a lot of money on ridiculous things before, and in the end this right was banned by Xu Shengyuan.
Not only that, Xu Shengyuan also publicly said that no store in the capital could give Xu Honglei credit, and the General's Office would not recognize it.
Therefore, Xu Honglei can only spend his own money now. Fortunately, his mother's dowry is rich and she often subsidizes him secretly, so Xu Honglei's life is not difficult.
Today, I was really in a hurry to go out. I didn't have time to bring my wallet, and I didn't even bring a boy with me. Xu Honglei's smile suddenly froze. He was so embarrassed now. He had been pretending to be the big brother all morning in vain.
Ming Jun had been interacting with Xu Honglei, so he immediately noticed that Xu Honglei was unnatural. Ming Jun quickly raised his hand to call the waiter over, "How much money does this table have? Brother Xu has been busy all morning introducing it to me. I should be the one to treat you to this meal."
After listening to his brother's words, Mingjia looked up at the food on the table again, and mentally estimated the approximate price. Then, Mingjia's eyes flashed with cunning, and she thought there would be a good show.
The waiter knew Xu Honglei but not Ming Jun, but when Ming Jun said he would pay for the treat, Mr. Xu did not object.
The waiter hurriedly walked around to Ming Jun and said, "To tell you this, the money on this table is five taels and five cents and sixty cents. The shopkeeper said that five taels and five cents is enough."
Mingjun's hand picking up his purse also stopped, and Mingjun looked at the table in a daze. Five taels and five cents of silver? what to do? He only carried five taels of silver in his wallet.
Ming Jia couldn't help but laugh when she heard the waiter talk about the amount of money. Mingjia knew her brother very well. He liked to hide private money since he was a child, and he also liked to save money when he grew up. When he was in Qu County, he only carried a few copper coins in his wallet every day.
When he came to the capital, he didn't bring much money with him. Mingjia estimated that he would only have five taels of silver.
However, Mingjun is really not to blame for this. If it weren't for Xu Honglei, the money Mingjun brought would not only be enough to eat, but also buy a lot of things.
Ming Jia held back her smile, took out a small silver ingot from her purse, and handed it to the waiter, "Excuse me, brother, I'm going to run away."
Although the waiter was a little confused, the professionalism he had cultivated over the years was still there. He quickly reached out and took the silver coins, "Sir, please wait a moment. I will go to the first floor to get your change."
After the waiter left, Ming Jia picked up the tea cup and glanced at her brother Ming Jun and Xu Honglei opposite. Mingjia didn't say a word, lowered her head and drank tea silently.
Ming Jun cleared his throat, didn't say anything, and picked up the tea cup to drink tea.
When Xu Honglei discovered that Xiao Mingjun didn't seem to have any money to settle the bill, he was no longer embarrassed. But unexpectedly, it was the youngest Ming Jia who paid the bill in the end, which made Xu Honglei blush again.
Soon, the waiter returned the small change. After sending the waiter away, Ming Jia reached out to his brother Ming Jun and said, "Brother, purse!"
Mingjun immediately took off the purse from his waist and handed it to Mingjia. Mingjia took out a few pieces of broken silver from his purse and put them into his brother's purse. Mingjun's purse suddenly bulged.
Mingjia handed the purse to Mingjun again, and Mingjun happily took the purse and tied it around his waist again.
Xu Honglei, who witnessed the whole process, widened his eyes as he saw something. The younger brother gives money to the older brother!
When the three of them walked out of the restaurant, Ming Jia was walking in the front, followed by Ming Jun and Xu Honglei. Xu Honglei gently pulled Mingjun's sleeve and asked: "Your brother is very rich!"
Ming Jun glared at Xu Honglei and found that there was only curiosity in his eyes, not any calculation. Thinking again of Uncle Li's introduction that this was the youngest son of General Xu Shengyuan, Ming Jun finally nodded, which was a response to Xu Honglei's words.
Seeing Ming Jun's admission, Xu Honglei continued to ask with some gossip: "Your mother won't subsidize all the dowry to your brother, right?"
As soon as this question came out, Ming Jun's eyebrows instantly wrinkled. Mingjun could hardly control his emotions for the first time after entering Beijing. His mother had no dowry, and Mingjia was much richer than her mother.
When Xu Honglei saw Ming Jun's expression, he felt that he must have guessed correctly. This is because the parents favor the younger son and are stingy with the older son.
Xu Honglei suddenly felt envious and couldn't help but sigh, "Oh! Why do my parents favor my eldest brother more? It would be great if they could favor me more!"
After listening to Xu Honglei's words, Ming Jun and Ming Jia looked at Xu Honglei together. Although neither of them spoke, their eyes were full of doubts. Although they only had contact for one morning, it was obvious whether Xu Honglei was favored or not at home.
Ming Jun didn't want to continue this topic with Xu Honglei, so he took the initiative to ask where he was going next.
Xu Honglei, who was still energetic in the morning, soon became a little tired in the afternoon, and in the end he could no longer maintain his image as a noble man.
Ming Jun looked at Xu Honglei and suddenly looked down at Ming Jia and smiled. Mingjia looked at her brother with some confusion and asked, "Brother, why are you laughing?"
Ming Jun pursed his lips and explained, "If you were so tired, Mrs. Yan would probably just pick you up."
Mingjia turned to look at Xu Honglei, who was shaking a bit when walking, and then thought about Mrs. Yan's behavior. All right! If she was so tired that she was walking like this, Mrs. Yan would definitely pick her up.
At this moment, Shen Qi drove over in a carriage. "Master Mingjun, the Duke asked me to take you back to my home!"
Ming Jun and Ming Jia had no reaction yet. Xu Honglei was so excited when he saw the carriage driven by Shen Qi and Shen Qi. "Yes! Yes! Go back to the house, go back to the house first, and then go shopping tomorrow!"
Ming Jun and Ming Jia got on the carriage together. Xu Shengyuan's general's mansion was not far from Li Hansheng's Duke's mansion. Shen Qi took Xu Honglei back to his house. After getting on the carriage, Xu Honglei was able to observe the status of Ming Jun and Ming Jia.
Soon I noticed that Mingjun, who was three years younger than me, seemed to be fine. Even the youngest Ming Jia looked a little tired on her face, but she was not as embarrassed as herself.
In an instant, Xu Honglei felt that not only had his own face been lost today, but his father's face had also been lost.
