The number one spendthrift woman in the capital actually brings glory to her entire family?
Chapter 8 Ulterior motives
Soon, as the hurried footsteps faded into the distance, the courtyard fell silent.
"Sir, you wouldn't really..."
The fat man turned his head and looked at Sikong Jin, who was standing in the warm sun with a half-smile on his face. He looked Sikong Jin up and down thoughtfully, and lowered his voice, "Sir, can you really bring yourself to do it?"
"I just praised you for understanding my thoughts, and now you're acting foolish again? Is my taste really that low?"
Sikong Jinxing narrowed his eyes, flicked his sleeves, and didn't take it seriously.
Zhu Si was taken aback. Thinking about it carefully, he realized it made sense. What was Liu Xin? How could the lord possibly lay a hand on her? Although the lord was lustful, cunning, and mysterious, his standards were always very high. Aside from Su Jing, the top courtesan at Wan Chun Lou, he had never actually touched any woman, let alone Liu Xin…
Thinking of this, Zhu Si grinned and said, "That's right! That's right! That would be too beneath your taste, sir! You are of high taste and high quality!"
"It's a bit of a pity that Liu Xianxian got away. It's rare that that stinky old woman Ruhua isn't here. Who knows when we'll have such a good thing again... Even though she was sent by the Emperor, we still have to make it a done deal... Hey, sir, where are you going?"
"Find Su Jing!"
"Su Jing?"
The fat man's eyes lit up, and his entire body trembled with excitement as he eagerly followed after them.
"My lord! Wait for me, I'll protect you!"
"Need not!"
"My lord, I will not tell Ruhua!"
"roll!"
"My lord, I have some silver on me!"
"Follow!"
However, after leaving the city, Sikong Jin did not head straight for Wanchun Tower. Instead, she went outside the city gate and walked around in a big circle, looking here and there. She kept following the fat man until he was almost exhausted. They didn't return to the city until evening.
In the most bustling and upscale Wanchunlou restaurant, located in the middle section of the most prosperous Cuiliu Long Street in Malan City, Sikong Jin and Zhu Si chose a private room facing the river and sat down.
Wan Chun Lou is very popular. The girls in Wan Chun Lou are famous for being charming, soft, and fragrant. In the entire city of Ma Lan, the girls in Wan Chun Lou are the most beautiful!
The fat man took the menu from the servant, flipped it open, and his eyes almost rolled back in his head. He couldn't help but touch the purse at his waist, then raised the menu to cover his face and leaned closer to Sikong Jin, whispering, "Sir, the food here is so expensive! I suggest we just order a pot of chrysanthemum tea and a plate of pastries..."
"You fatso! You have no taste. Do you want everyone in Wanchunlou to know we're bumpkins? Idiot!" Sikong Jin kicked Zhu Si and muttered in response, but her face remained calm. She took the menu from the fat man's hand with feigned composure, opened it elegantly, and with a smile on her lips, ordered from the waiter, "A plate of Jade Cherry Chicken, Crispy Honey-Glazed Lobster, Eight-Treasure Stuffed Eggplant, Golden Jade Abundance, Seven-Treasure Turtle Tonic Soup, Lotus Pond Moonlight... and a jar of the finest Daughter's Red Wine!"
"That's still better than pretending to be fat and getting chased after for trying to dine and dash!" The fat man's eyes widened. Although he was very hungry and tired, the thought of the money pouch at his waist made his heart bleed...
"My lord, my lord, let's order this much for now. We don't know if these dishes are good or not... and..." Moreover, these dishes are too expensive. Each one costs almost a month's salary. He can't afford it!
"Lord Sikong, you are a distinguished guest of Miss Su and also a distinguished guest of our Wanchun Restaurant. Miss Su has specially instructed that from now on, when Lord Sikong comes to our Wanchun Restaurant, the cost of food, drink and beverages will be waived."
"Oh? Is that so?" Sikong Jin closed the menu with one hand and stroked her chin. "Distinguished guest... Alright then, we'll also order a Secret Recipe Jade Roasted Carp, a Honey Glazed Pigeon, and a jar of Premium Peach Blossom Wine!"
"Wait a minute, another honey-glazed roast suckling pig! Hurry up!"
Fatty Zhu, quick-witted as ever, shouted out.
"Prepare another honey-glazed roast suckling pig for me to pack! I'm taking it with me later!"
Sikong Jin added calmly.
Boy: "..."
Amidst the servant's gasps of surprise, the food and wine were quickly served.
"Where is Miss Su Jing? Why haven't we seen her yet?"
The fat man looked around for a long time but couldn't see the beauty. He couldn't help but ask.
"I'm sorry, gentlemen, Miss Su is currently entertaining guests at the Linshui Pavilion. You may have to wait a while to see her. How about we call some other ladies for you first?"
"Alright, let them come in and play a few tunes."
Sikong Jin smiled.
"Yes!"
The servant quickly left, while the fat man began to feast, holding a roasted pig leg in one hand and pouring wine for Sikong Jin with a wine pot in the other.
A moment later, a fragrant breeze suddenly wafted in from the doorway, and several beautifully dressed, graceful women carrying pipa instruments floated in like colorful clouds.
"Greetings, gentlemen!"
The women's beautiful eyes, like spring water, gazed at the two people behind the beaded curtain. Their voices were soft and charming, making the fat man almost drunk with pleasure.
"Play a tune outside the curtain. You don't need to come in. If you play well, the master will reward you."
Sikong Jin smiled faintly, her eyes clear as autumn water, her voice sounding slightly hoarse yet magnetic.
"Thank you, sir!"
Several women smiled shyly, then sat down and began to pluck the strings and play...
The sky outside had already darkened, and the entire Green Willow Street was just beginning to be lit up with lanterns. Faint sounds of string and wind instruments drifted from outside the window, accompanied by the melodious singing of female singers.
"My lord, it is already early spring, and the army's provisions are somewhat strained. North of the Malan Mountains is bandit territory, and to the west lies the main force of the Liao Dynasty. According to the report from our scouts yesterday, I, along with Vice Generals Mei and Meng, have analyzed their motives. We suspect that the Liao forces are moving northward, and they have been mobilizing troops very frequently recently. We cannot guarantee that war will not break out in the near future..."
After a few drinks, the fat man's small eyes darted around, and he suddenly remembered the purpose of finding Sikong Jin today. So he lowered his voice and spoke softly.
Sikong Jin frowned, her expression turning slightly cold, but a meaningful glint flashed in her eyes. She then sighed, "Alas, it's always the food supplies that cause us worry."
"grown ups……"
"Zhu, you are known as the number one strategist of my Great Yong. I will entrust the matter of solving the problem of food supplies to you. In five days, I will see enough food supplies for my nearly 10,000 troops for two months."
Lord Sikong pondered for a moment, then spoke in a deep voice.
The fat man was startled, staring wide-eyed at his master in surprise, "No, sir, when did I become known as the number one strategist of the Great Yong?"
"As everyone knows, you used a strategy last month to repel the Flying Eagle Third Regiment of the Third Army of the Liao Dynasty, allowing us to escape their pursuit without suffering any losses. This is a great achievement, and I will certainly report it to the emperor upon my return to the capital. I trust you!"
"No... sir, but wasn't it you who said that several of the enemy's generals were poisoned, allowing me to seize the opportunity..."
"Oh? Did I? Did I give the order? Our troops were in such disarray back then, if I hadn't spread rumors, the brothers would have panicked. I never expected that Strategist Zhu would make such a decisive move, leading the charge with lightning speed, sending the brothers straight into the enemy's central camp. You don't know, I was standing on the hillside watching, and I was completely blown away. You're a hero..."
