Survival rules for restaurants: cooking and eating melons at the same time

Chapter 296 Hu Ren: Xiao Rong'er is my wife

The governor of Kyoto was still a little out of sorts at first, and as he listened to Gu Qingyun, the more he spoke, the more unbelievable it found him.

"Ubang?..."

The governor of Kyoto paced in the room for a while, seemingly thinking about something, until the chirping of birds outside interrupted his thoughts, and then he was heard speaking.

"This young lady Rong has a peculiar habit... Most of her patrons are foreign merchants, and she seems to be very popular with them. Before she became an otaku, she was just a not-so-popular woman in Yan Gui Pavilion. Although she had never worked as a maid there, she was not much better off. Until... she was spotted by a Hu merchant by chance. The Hu merchant was generous and was especially generous to her. Before long, Lady Rong became one of the top beauties."

The governor of Kyoto was still chattering away when suddenly a loud noise was heard outside.

"Boom-"

Just like that, the words of the governor of Kyoto were interrupted.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qingyun walked to the window and looked down, and saw several clerks below constantly retreating, looking at the person who came with horror on their faces.

He was a Hu man, not only was he big and strong, he was at least three heads taller than the Han man and as strong as an ox. Because it was summer, he was wearing cool clothes on his upper body, which even had a row of black gold teeth of some unknown animal hanging on it.

The governor of Kyoto did not move. Instead, he turned around and went into the house to look through the files.

Soon, he was seen taking out a portrait, comparing it several times, and asserting, "It was this Hu man who helped Lady Xiaorong to reach a higher level."

At this time, the Hu people downstairs said, "You Han people have so many rules. I have told you so many times that Rong'er is my wife, and she died before I could marry her!!! I just want you Han people to return her body to me, but you keep stopping me. Is there something fishy going on?"

The Hu man was so angry that his eyes were wide open and his face was red. It seemed that he was trying very hard to hold back his anger.

"Oh, big brother...are you okay? You and Miss Xiaorong haven't obtained the marriage certificate from the government. You are not considered to be married, so you are not Miss Xiaorong's husband. Miss Xiaorong is a Han Chinese, so she must abide by the rules of the Dayan Dynasty."

The clerk in front of the Hu man also calmed down and advised him impatiently.

"This is the government office. If you continue to act like this, I can put you in jail."

The other minor officials gradually became less afraid, but they were frightened by his aura at the beginning and stepped forward to dissuade him.

The Hu man suddenly became like a child, running around anxiously in front of the Kyoto government office.

"Why don't you believe me? Xiao Rong'er is really my wife. We have agreed that I can save enough money to redeem her by running two more times. She stayed in Yan Gui Pavilion because she couldn't let go of her sister. That's why I agreed to wait a little longer. Otherwise... I can raise the money."

The clerks were still trying to persuade him, "Since you haven't redeemed her, and you haven't signed a marriage certificate with her, you must have some proof to marry someone from outside the Great Wall, otherwise how can you prove that she is your wife?"

Gu Qingyun and the prefect of Kyoto looked at each other at the same time. What did it mean that he couldn't let go of her sister?

The governor of Kyoto spoke very quickly, looked down and said, "Don't worry, what if he says something unconsciously?"

Gu Qingyun nodded, which was rare. You are smart.

The Hu man fumbled in his pocket in a hurry and soon took out a string of animal teeth. I don’t know how they were made, but there was also a layer of gold on it, and it was more beautiful than the one on the Hu man.

The gold color was light, but it seemed as if there was a faint glow.

"My lords, look, this is what I brought for Xiao Ronger. In our tribe, if you want to marry and have children, you must prepare a string of wolf teeth for your wife. The gold one is gold, and mine is just copper. The more precious the gold, the more important the wife or the child is. For this string of wolf teeth, I wasted a few days..."

As he was talking, the Hu man lowered his head and suddenly broke down crying, "I knew very well that little Rong'er was not doing well in this damn place and she was not happy there, so why didn't I take her away quickly... Wuuuuuu...Originally, I promised her that I would come to her performance this time, but I was delayed for several days because of this string of wolf teeth, and then I was hit by the sandstorm in the desert. If it weren't for this... my little Rong'er... I'm afraid little Rong'er wouldn't be in trouble... Wuuuuuuu..."

The burly man squatted in front of the Kyoto government office and cried breathlessly, blaming himself as he cried.

The clerk also reacted at this time, and said in a gentle and persuasive manner, "Madam Rong, are you unhappy in Yan Gui Pavilion? Being an oiran is so glorious, what is there to be unhappy about?"

As expected, the Hu people wiped their tears and sat aside. "You all think that being an Oiran is glorious, but you don't know the twists and turns inside. If Xiao Rong'er hadn't met me, she would have been in bad luck. Because she was not so bright and beautiful before, not many people liked her. Even though she could sing and dance, people were unwilling to listen to her. It was because I thought she was well-behaved and there was always a hint of sadness between her brows that I paid for her to be in such a brothel for the first time. She is very likable, like a kitten... but she will stretch out her claws at the critical moment. I met her many times before she was willing to believe me."

The Hu man lowered his head and looked at the wolf tooth in his hand, and said righteously, "Although my family is not rich, it is one of the best families outside the Great Wall after all, and we are considered nobles in our tribe... But the silver that Yan Gui Pavilion wants is too much. We are used to exchanging money for cattle and sheep, which is convenient for wintering and can make money. I don’t have so much money for the time being. At the beginning, I didn’t think about redeeming her, but when we fell in love, it was not something I could redeem..."

The clerk interrupted and asked, "How much silver is it that makes you so embarrassed?"

"One thousand taels." The Hu man's voice was trembling when he said this. "I could have redeemed myself last time, but I was short of two hundred taels of silver. I had to make another trip. When grandma heard that I was going to spend so much money on a prostitute, she almost kicked me out of the tribe."

"So many! This Yan Gui Pavilion is quite shady. But the last time you came, Madam Rong was not yet the most expensive lady. I'm afraid she will raise the price again this time." The clerk has been very annoyed by the Yan Gui Pavilion recently and has no good temper towards it.

The Hu people nodded and said, "I have already made preparations, so I sold fifty cows and fifty sheep and prepared an extra five hundred taels, thinking that I must take Xiao Rong'er away this time."
