An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

The waiter who led the way bowed respectfully after hearing this. The old lady couldn't help being generous and asked Zhuang to give them a reward according to the previous rules of the mansion. Only when money was spent could the service be better. Zhuang understood all these rules.

The waiter was used to seeing many travelers traveling far and wide. Although it was rare to see people like them, with children and young and old traveling together, and looking so embarrassed, they did occasionally appear. The waiter who led the way received the reward and the instructions, then nodded and left.

Another waiter said he was specifically assigned to serve their courtyard. He took the reward and refused to leave: "If the master has any instructions, just send me."

Then he did not approach them, but stood next to the front door with his hands hanging down.

Giving five cents of silver to each person right away is no ordinary family. The young master (Tao Jin) is dressed in fine clothes, and the others also have extraordinary temperaments. They must be from a wealthy family in the capital who encountered trouble on the road to be so embarrassed. A change of clothes would make all the difference.

They thought they could only take a shower after eating, so they were all very dirty. After entering the house, they were reluctant to sit directly on the bed, for fear of staining the clean bedding and pillows that smelled of soapberries. Fortunately, there was a table and a few stools in each room, so they could only lie on the table to rest for a while, while the boys ran to the corridor outside to lie down.

Unexpectedly, not long after the waiter left, several maids and servants started bringing in hot water with carts. Another servant also pushed a cart and brought in several large bathtubs. The speed was really impeccable.

It's no wonder that with so many people staying in such a big restaurant, there should be a constant supply of hot water. In rainy and cold weather like this, it is impossible for the hot water to be cut off. It must have been prepared early to ensure that the guests can use it as soon as they enter the house.

This boss knows how to do business.

Sure enough, just as the waiter waiting outside had expected, all the family members came out of the bath looking bright and beautiful. Aren’t they all nobles in the capital?

The clothes they changed into were all prepared by Jing Chunxi. They were the same clothes, shoes and socks that everyone wore when they left the capital. They were originally piled up in a large package in the space. Jing Chunxi accidentally found them one night after entering. Thinking that they might be needed on the road, he put them in the stream to soak and wash them carefully. After drying them in the sun, he folded them neatly and prepared them for everyone. Now they are worn as smooth as new and the creases are very clear.

Everyone felt much better after putting on their original clothes. Although the female members were no longer wearing the jewels, gold, silver, and hairpins they had worn before, their temperament was revealed naturally when they straightened their chests, and their overall elegance was still there, which made people not to be underestimated.

The little girl put on her original pair of embroidered shoes and jumped on the spot in surprise and question: "Hey, why are they smaller?"

The little face had a look of surprise and weirdness, and he even doubted whether they were his original pair. The pair of black eyes like a kitten were full of doubt and suspicion, and his little look made everyone laugh.

"Little Dumpling has grown up, so his shoes will become too small, right?" Children grow up quickly. If they are well taken care of during this period and occasionally jump around in the wild, it is normal for their shoes to be a little tight.

It's time to change her into a new pair, Jing Chunxi thought.

Now everyone follows Chu Chunxi in calling Jing Mingzhu "little dumpling". She is not angry but rather very pleased. She thinks the name given by cousin Xi is very good, much better than "Mingzhu" and "Mingzhu". People who don't know would think that she is not a child.

Qiaoqiao, Heizi and Lin all had a set of clothes, shoes and socks mixed in with them. Although they were just the styles of ordinary people, they were already happy and moved. It was already a great joy to be able to walk with them, and this made them feel like they were their own family.

Only Tao Jin wore the clothes he brought with him, still naturally calm and elegant. At this moment, he felt as if he was excluded. He even envied Heizi's clothes that could blend in with theirs. Somehow, he felt that this would make them more intimate and more like a family.

Seeing that the guests had already cleaned up, the waiter ordered their meals to be brought over quickly. The dishes on the three tables were exactly the same, and were pulled over by three servants and three maids on a special food cart.

The dishes at Hubei Restaurant were very rich. Thanks to Jing Changning's generosity, all the dishes served were signature dishes: steamed Wuchang fish, stir-fried bacon with red cabbage, Huangpi Sanhe, Mianyang Sanzheng, and sunflower tofu. The five hot dishes were quite large and almost took up the entire table. Due to the weather, they were served a large pot of hot mutton and mutton offal soup, as well as several beef, meatballs, and mixed vegetables that could be shabu-shabued.

There was enough food, but not too much waste. It turned out that the dishes were served according to the number of people.

There were two large tables in the main hall of the front yard. Due to lack of space, another table was placed in the side room next to it.

As soon as the old general and the old lady took their seats, Zhuang and Yin stood behind them according to the previous rules of the mansion, wanting to go forward and serve them food. Three maids from the hotel also stood beside them, ready to listen to their orders.

Not wanting to be waved away by the old general, he said, "What time is it? Aren't you hungry? All of you sit down. Don't talk about the rules. Xiaobei, come sit next to me."

Seeing this, Zhuang also sent the three maids away to prevent everyone from feeling uncomfortable while eating. It was boring to eat bland soup for so long without being able to eat a hearty meal. At this point, there was no need for any ostentation.

The waiter brought two bottles of Hubei's famous Baiyunbian wine and placed them both on the main table. Of course, good wine should be drunk with the men who had fought together in the north and south.

Xiaobei's grandfather had just gone to the table in the side room on his own accord, but was pulled back by Jing Yongning to accompany his father. The old lady saw that there were few people drinking, only the father and son and Xiaobei, so she called her three daughters-in-law to come and sit with them at the main table. She and the two daughters-in-law in front could still have a few drinks, and there was no need to be restrained when going out.

The three concubines, one holding Jing Mingzhu, Lin holding Qiaoqiao, and Tang Shuang and Hei Zi also sat at a table in the side room.

Lin was a little overwhelmed by the overflowing table of dishes, which were exactly the same as those on the main table. She didn't dare sit down at all, as she felt that it couldn't be their meal. The old aunt urged her several times, but Lin didn't even dare to sit down. Later, when she finally sat down, she didn't dare to pick up her chopsticks.

Even the old aunt felt sorry for her because of this move. She didn't know what had happened to the mother and daughter in the past. She was afraid that they didn't even have the right to sit at the table to eat in front of the mother-in-law.

Seeing that they didn't need her service, Zhuang took some time to come over and take a walk. Lin thought something was wrong again, so she stood up straight when she saw the lady, which made the three concubines feel very funny and sad.

"You guys are a bit too many. Little Tuanzi, take Qiaoqiao and Heizi to the older brothers and sisters' table." This startled Lin even more. There were only a few of them, so how could there be so many people? And was it appropriate for her daughter to go there?

When the three children walked over hand in hand obediently, Tang Shuang pulled Lin to sit down and said, "The ladies are all kind-hearted. Since you are all together, don't be restrained."

But she said soothingly, "Don't be afraid. I wasn't used to it before. Just follow me."

Sugar Frost was also puzzled. She was still a slave, so she didn't feel so scared even when it was her first time facing everyone.

Aunt Zhao also smiled reproachfully and said, "Lin, you're always like this. You've made my heart pound even though I wasn't nervous at all."
