The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

The group slowly walked towards the main courtyard, passing a small and exquisite garden on the way. Xiao Anning suddenly exclaimed: "Wow, this is really a different world! Captain Su, look, there is even a rockery! Wow, there is also a small lake over there... There is even a fountain!"

Su Lun looked in the direction of her finger, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. In the center of the garden, there was a small artificial lake with shimmering waves. The water was clear and transparent, like a piece of emerald green, reflecting the surrounding beauty clearly. In the center of the lake stood an exquisite island, which was lush and green with hundreds of flowers. A unique stone arch bridge spanned the lake, and the bridge railings were engraved with delicate patterns.

They walked along the winding path, and on both sides of the road were buildings full of classical charm. The snow-white walls of these buildings contrasted with the black tiles, and the eaves were high, as if they were about to fly. The doors and windows were carefully carved with complex and exquisite patterns, which was breathtaking. There were all kinds of exotic flowers and plants planted in the garden. It was the season when roses were in full bloom, and they were beautiful; the golden chrysanthemums were dazzling and exuded bursts of fragrance; the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers were in full bloom, and the fragrance was overwhelming. The picturesque scenery of beautiful mountains and rivers made people feel relaxed and happy.

"If Miss Second likes this place, you can come here often in the future." Su Lun smiled and extended a sincere invitation to Xiao An Ning.

A bright smile broke out on Xiao An Ning's face, and she responded happily: "Then don't think I'm annoying when the time comes!" After that, the two smiled at each other and continued to walk forward side by side, leaving a string of laughter echoing in the air.

The group walked slowly back to the main courtyard. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw a pot of steaming tea on the table. Qingsong stepped forward and skillfully filled several cups of hot tea, handing them to Su Lun and Xiao An Ning respectively: "Miss Xiao Er, Captain Su, you must be tired from wandering around all the way. Please have some tea and rest for a while."

"Thank you very much. After hearing what you said, I really feel thirsty." Xiao Anning said with a smile. As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Tao, the maid beside her, quickly took the teacup and picked up the clean empty cup on the table. She poured the tea repeatedly several times, and when the temperature dropped slightly, she gently handed it to Xiao Anning and said with concern: "Miss, drink slowly, be careful not to get burned." "Thank you, Xiao Tao."

At this time, Qingsong, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up and broke the silence: "Captain Su, I have a small suggestion, but I don't know whether I should say it out loud." There was a hint of hesitation in his tone.

Su Lun smiled slightly and encouraged: "Qingfeng, it's okay, just say whatever you think."

After getting permission, Qingfeng relaxed a little and continued, "Captain Su, does our mansion need to hire a few more servants? It's almost noon, but none of us know how to cook. Besides, this mansion is quite large, and daily cleaning, garden maintenance and other tasks may be difficult for us alone... It's not that I'm lazy and don't want to do anything, I'm just not proficient in these matters..." Qingfeng's voice became smaller and smaller, and he seemed a little embarrassed.

Su Lun could not help but be slightly startled: "Blame me for not thinking it through, but I just arrived in the capital and I really don't know the situation. I wonder if you have any suitable candidates to recommend?"

Hearing this, Qingfeng hesitated for a moment before speaking somewhat awkwardly: "Well... I have very little contact with the outside world, why don't we go find a broker to consult..." He lowered his head as he spoke, looking a little uneasy.

At this time, Xiao An Ning interrupted at the right time and said, "Oh, don't worry about it! Didn't Butler Xiao send Manager Wen to help us? He is an expert in this area! We just need to ask him to help contact the brokers he knows and ask them to help pick some reliable people."

After hearing this, Su Lun suddenly realized and quickly bowed to Manager Wen and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Manager Wen." Manager Wen hastened to return the greeting, "Captain Su, you are too polite. I will do my best to handle this matter." After saying this, he smiled and nodded to show his agreement.

Seeing the sun gradually rising, it was approaching noon. At this moment, no preparations had been made in the mansion, and it was too late to cook. After a little thought, Su Lun decided to invite everyone to a restaurant outside for dinner: "Second Miss Xiao, it is already late. I have just arrived here and know very little about the outside world. It is difficult for me to know where the food is more delicious. Why don't I host you and ask you to choose a restaurant and enjoy a delicious meal together? What do you think?"

Hearing this, Xiao An Ning's eyes turned slightly, and he immediately had an idea in his mind: "Haha, it's most appropriate for you to ask me about this matter! I know this capital city like the back of my hand! In my opinion, we might as well go to Zuixianlou, which is not far from here. Their roast duck is famous and renowned!" At this point, Xiao An Ning's eyes became brighter, and his eyes were full of longing and expectation.

Since the smuggling of salt had caused a stir in the city and everyone knew about it, she had not been able to leave her residence for several days since she returned to the capital. This time, she had the opportunity to go out, especially when she thought of the mouth-watering roast duck in Zuixianlou, she could not help but drool.

"In that case, please go in, Second Miss."

As expected, just as Xiao An Ning said, the distance between Zuixianlou and Su Mansion was not far. They took the carriage and arrived at their destination in about 20 minutes.

According to past situations, Zuixianlou should be full of guests and bustling with people at this moment. However, perhaps because of the unpredictable situation in the court recently, which caused people to panic, the number of guests in Zuixianlou is relatively small now.

Xiao Anning walked into the restaurant with ease. The waiter came up to her with a big smile on his face. "Oh my! Miss Xiao, I haven't seen you for a long time! How come you have time to come here today? You really make our little shop shine!"

Xiao An Ning raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sweet smile: "Hmm~ Waiter, do you have any vacant private rooms here?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Second Miss, please follow me upstairs." The waiter nodded and bowed, then turned to look at Su Lun. The man in front of him was very elegant and imposing, but he had never seen him before, and he couldn't help but feel curious - which famous family did this strange young man come from?

Fearing that he might neglect the distinguished guest, the waiter became more respectful and asked cautiously, "May I ask what is your name, sir?"

Xiao Anning replied softly, "Oh, this is Captain Su. Okay, waiter, stop dawdling and take us up quickly."

"Yes, yes, Miss Xiao, please come in. Captain Su, please come in."
