Chapter 1546: Trouble Arises (4)
"I was just passing by," Yang Ruxin didn’t want to elaborate, "I heard that gambling on stones was popular here, so I came to join the excitement."
"As a result, out of four stones, two turned out to be top-quality green jade," Fa Qingyang smiled. This woman had always struck him as being very extraordinary, "How would those professional gamblers feel, I wonder?"
"I just casually picked two," Yang Ruxin spread her hands innocently, "It’s just good luck, there’s nothing I can do about it..."
"Hehe," Fa Qingyang chuckled, "But since you’ve come to my turf, I should fulfill the duties of a host, after all, you are regarded as a benefactor of the Fa Family."
"A benefactor of the Fa Family?"
"The Fa Family has passed down from generation to generation, and if I had died in Wanren Villa back then, the Fa Family line would have ended..."
Yang Ruxin couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "Alright, I’ll accept the title of benefactor." She also glanced around; her outing of two pieces of green jade had attracted quite the attention. Fa Qingyang’s appearance at this time might well reduce her troubles.
"Longyun Villa is just a quarter of an hour’s carriage ride from here..."
But Yang Ruxin shook her head, "I won’t trouble you, I’ve brought quite a few people with me, and besides, I have to rush home tomorrow, so..."
"Alright then," Fa Qingyang was not insistent, "But it’s dinner time now, may I have the honor of your company?" He paused for a moment, "Zuo County is not only known for its jade but also has quite a few mountain delicacies."
"Okay," Yang Ruxin nodded, "Then I won’t be polite."
There were indeed many inns and restaurants in Zuo County, and Fa Qingyang was a pleasant companion. He took Yang Ruxin to Meiwei Restaurant not far from their inn. The restaurant was located on the same street, and he even arranged for food to be delivered to the inn for the servants’ dinner.
The taste of the dishes at Meiwei Restaurant was genuinely good, especially the mutton, which was fragrant without any muttony smell—a rarity indeed.
