The waiter thought they didn't understand at first, so after explaining it clearly, he wanted to lead them into the shop. He bent his body and stretched his hands forward, but the two masters didn't move at all.
The old man waved his hand at him, signaling him to leave, but the young master pressed a silver coin into his hand and said, "It's okay, we're not hungry yet, we'll eat later."
The waiter thought: Even if you're not hungry, you can still wait in the private room! At least you can have a pot of tea, and your feet won't get tired or be blown by the cold wind.
But seeing that the two masters were looking at him impatiently and the servant in front was waving at him to leave quickly, he had no choice but to give up.
I just think the nobles in the capital are so strange: anyone with a little status would either send a servant to buy it, or find a private room to taste it slowly and enjoy the best service in the shop.
They, on the other hand, had already stuffed the service fee into his pocket, and were still standing in line, waiting in the cold, being looked at like clowns. Was this the pleasure of the rich? He had no idea what it meant.
The four of them were certainly not in a hurry now, as the busy time had long passed.
They came out before daybreak to scout the surroundings and familiarize themselves with everything around them. Now they are deliberately coming out to show off.
They had been waiting in line for half an hour before it was their turn to order, but they didn't take the food away. They only found a seat in the shop on the first floor at that time, naturally sitting in the most conspicuous seat by the window. There was a table full of snacks facing the street. They only tasted each dish lightly and didn't move their chopsticks much. They must have been thirsty, so they drank a large pot of tea.
Later, before lunch time, he asked the waiter to remove all the snacks on the table, and the servant went to order a large table of food. Again, he only took a few bites of each item. It seemed that he was not here to enjoy the food, but to show off his wealth.
Nowadays, most wealthy people who are not playboys are low-key and reserved. The two gentlemen look quite old, but they are still doing things that are not suitable for their age. They are outspoken but not domineering.
He didn't eat much, but kept telling the curious people that the food produced by this old brand was the most tasteful in Yiyang City, even better than Xiufangzhai in the capital. This made more people look at him sideways and half-believe and half-doubt. The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, and those who didn't know thought that the shop had specially invited them.
Some people also sneered at them, thinking that the nobles from the capital were nothing special. They looked so ignorant and not presentable at all. Some even suspected that they were fake nobles.
Yes, Jing Yongcheng and Jing Changning went out today specifically to show off, attract attention, and grab everyone's attention. Ordinary people might not recognize them, but those who were already watching them and trying to cause trouble would definitely notice them. After all, if they didn't see them following them last night, they might have been looking for them all night long!
After dinner, they strolled around the area in a swaggering manner, entered the largest gold building and silk shop in Yiyang City, and commented on the things in Yiyang City, praising or criticizing them. However, in the end, they did not buy anything and swaggered to the government office in Yiyang City, which was also located in the east of the city.
The two masters each touched the two large stone lions on both sides of the yamen three times, behaving like country bumpkins who had entered the city for the first time. The yamen runners guarding the gate tolerated them again and again, and only did not drive them away because the two masters were well dressed.
It was noon.
Turning back from the yamen, Xiaobei whispered to his master in front, "Someone is following us from a distance. Their breathing is extremely steady. It seems they have bad intentions."
Jing Yongcheng and Jing Changning heard Xiaobei and Dalang's description of the two people following them, and without turning back, they said directly, "Let's go to Yanhua Lane!"
The two people following behind were dressed like ordinary people. After they saw them enter the alley, they gestured to each other. One continued to follow, and the other turned around and ran away.
He should go back and report the news.
Fireworks Alley,
On an old locust tree with lush branches and leaves,
Jing Chunxi winked at the little dandy next to him, fearing he might misunderstand something, and actively defended himself, "Grandfather and Third Uncle are not that kind of people."
I don’t know what’s wrong with my grandfather and third uncle. They actually went to the red-light district to see if she would tell her grandmother and third aunt about it when she got home.
"I know."
Tao Jin nodded in understanding. He believed this. He didn't know Jing Changning, a minor official in the Hanlin Academy, well, but from meeting him, he knew he was a man of integrity and a tolerant heart. General Jing was well-known, and everyone knew him. He and his two sons, both generals, were often away on military campaigns, and they took concubines for their own convenience. Each of them only took one, and he wasn't a womanizer.
Tao Jin and Jing Chunxi both got up very late this morning. When Jing Chunxi got up, she found that so many people in the house were missing, and she knew that she was isolated. It turned out that love can change, otherwise he would not have woken her up and taken her with him.
What made her most angry was that even her little follower Frost went out without reporting to her. This really made her feel deeply frustrated, and she felt like Frost had been instigated to rebel.
All those who slept in were confined to their homes by their grandmother. Now even a fly could hardly fly out of the courtyard where they lived because the old lady had given a strict order. Aunt Feng, who was usually very old-fashioned, volunteered to be the door god and always said to everyone she met: "You can't go out."
Tang Shuang followed Zhuang out obediently. She didn't dare disobey the old lady, knowing that she had a reason for issuing such an order, which was why she didn't even let her young master out. The lady in the capital had asked her to protect the young master, and the old lady had also issued the house arrest order out of concern for the young master's safety. So she had to listen to the old lady.
In short, it is safest not to go out.
This time the old lady was very determined. After breakfast, no matter how Jing Chunxi came into the house and pestered her, she just refused to give in.
Jing Chunxi could only wander around this not-so-big yard listlessly, occasionally glancing at the door god to see if he could move.
Walking over the wall on this side, there is a bare, short-necked tree opposite, with all its leaves fallen off; walking over the wall on the other side, the plum tree at the end is also bare, without a single bud.
Depressed and boring.
"What? Ugly girl wants to go out?" Tao Jin woke up earlier than Jing Chunxi and knew what was going on in the courtyard. He also let Heizi know that the old general and the Zhuang family went out separately, and that the old general had also issued a house arrest order before leaving.
Tao Jin thought: So the old general didn't go out to buy things, so there must be something wrong. What is it? The more he thought about it, the more he felt itchy in his heart and his feet.
The old general is resourceful.
There are many dwarfs and ghosts, and Grandpa Xiaobei seems to be a smart guy. It would be great if he could go out with them to do things.
But if he takes Heizi out, the old lady will definitely not let him go. Since Tao Jin has gone with them, he has to take some responsibility. Moreover, the old man has given them many instructions before he left. Even though they are an old couple, it is not easy for her to go against his will. She must support the general's decision.
Apart from this, they did have some feelings for this kid. Not only did he save his granddaughter, he also spared no effort to save their family. Now the couple has long regarded him as their own grandson.
The child is ignorant and if he is released, there will be more danger if something goes wrong. We can only let him stay there honestly and tell Aunt Feng to keep a close eye on him.
