Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Speaking of this, the general’s wife was reminded, “You stay at ho these few days and don’t go out. What if you run into that prince from the Mobei Kingdom and he wants to marry you?”
Fan Yuru, having finished sparring with General Fan, flew over, “What do you an, mother?”
The general’s wife explained, “The prince from the Mobei Kingdom ca to the capital to pay tribute, but his main purpose under the guise of improving relations between two countries was to choose a bride. Many daughters of high officials in the capital haven’t left their houses recently, fearing this misfortune would befall them.”
Fan Yuru disdainfully said, “He’s overestimating himself. A vassal kingdom daring to co to Daling to choose a bride? Dream on.”
After speaking, she hurriedly left, leaving a ssage, “I’m going out to have dinner with Qingzhi and the others, don’t wait for .”
Fan Jingxu followed her, “Is Brother Tang back?”
Fan Yuru’s footsteps were hurried. “Yes, we ca back together.”
“Second Sister, take with you for dinner.”
“It might be a bit inconvenient.”
“Why is that?”
“There are also Qingzhi’s family mbers at the dinner. They don’t know you; bringing you might be impolite.”
Fan Jingxu was visibly disappointed, “Alright then, next ti.”
Fan Yuru patted Fan Jingxu’s shoulder, “I’ll definitely take you next ti, don’t feel down.”
“Alright.” Fan Jingxu stopped in his tracks. He looked at Fan Yuru’s departing figure and sighed deeply.
In the capital.
Tainan restaurant.
As a famous restaurant in the capital, it was always bustling with business. Finding a seat during dining hours was challenging.
Ning Yuting reserved the restaurant’s largest private room, setting up two tables inside. The guests sat around the tables according to seniority.
The little monk followed closely behind Chu Qingzhi, almost becoming her shadow. As soon as Chu Qingzhi sat down, the monk quickly took a seat beside her.
Chu Qingzhi smiled at the monk, “How about I get you so fruit to eat?”
The monk happily nodded, “Yes, thank you.”
Tang Jinghong, who hadn’t sat down yet, heard their conversation and brought over the fruit from the side, placing it in front of the monk, “Enjoy.”
“Thank you, Young Master Tang.”
The four elders of the Chu family, seeing the opulent private room, felt very restrained.
Grandpa Chu looked around. Although he was restrained, he was also happy. He thought to himself that when he returned to the village, he could show off again.
Li Qingyu sat next to Chu Qingyue. She touched Chu Qingyue’s arm and whispered, “It costs a lot of silver to eat here, right?”
Chu Qingyue, also her first ti in such a lavish place, felt nervous and replied, “Yes, it’s expensive, but it’s okay. We don’t co here every day.”
Li Qingyu nodded slightly, “True.”
Wu Yaqing gently nudged the arm of Rong Shiyu sitting beside her, whispering, “Your eyes are red. Have you been crying?”
Everyone at the table had noticed.
Fan Yuru tentatively asked, “Did your father scold you?”
Being among friends, Rong Shiyu didn’t hide anything. “He didn’t scold , but he forbade from doing any more voluntary dical work. Not only that, he’s forcing to get married.”
Everyone’s ears perked up at this.
Chu Qingzhi looked inquiringly at Bao Linjiang. Haven’t you made your move yet? If you don’t act soon, she’ll be married off to soone else.
Bao Linjiang glanced at Rong Shiyu and then gestured to Chu Qingzhi, indicating his uncertainty about what to do.
Chu Qingzhi raised her eyebrows slightly. Do you not like Shiyu?
Bao Linjiang shook his head. It’s not that he didn’t like her, but he also didn’t have strong feelings for her, which made it difficult for him to express his feelings.
It made sense. They hadn’t spent much ti together, and developing feelings required ti. Chu Qingzhi nodded in understanding, indicating that he should take his ti.
Bao Linjiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fan Yuru empathized with Rong Shiyu, “Let’s just enjoy dinner tonight. We’ll find a way to deal with the marriage issue later.”
Rong Shiyu nodded in resignation, “Alright.”
As the atmosphere ward up a bit, Chu Qingshuang ntioned, “I’m participating in a porcelain competition tomorrow. You’re all welco to co and watch.”
Ning Yuting asked with interest, “Where is the competition being held?”
“At Xilin Garden,” replied Chu Qingshuang, “It’s near this restaurant. I noticed it on my way here.”
Yuan Hongjun added, “I know where it is. We’ll definitely co to watch.”
Chu Qingshuang smiled in gratitude, “Thank you.”
While everyone was chatting, dishes were served by the waiters. Soon, the table was filled with dishes.
Grandpa Chu picked up his chopsticks and smiled. “Everyone, let’s eat. Let’s talk after we’re full.”‘
Bao Linjiang echoed, “Let’s eat first.”
Everyone was hungry and started eating without further conversation.
Halfway through the al, a commotion arose from the ground floor of the restaurant, followed by the sound of plates being smashed and a custor’s scream.
The guests in the hall scread and quickly retreated to the side.
Sitting at the table were two n dressed in noble attire. Their hair was a little curly, and they were dressed differently from the Daling Dynasty people. They were obviously foreigners.
Behind the n stood two ard guards. Their expressions were cold and murderous. They held the hilts of their swords and looked like they would kill anyone who approached.
One of the guards slapped a waiter, then kicked him away. The waiter slid across the floor, stopping only when he hit a table and chair. He was bleeding from the mouth and lost consciousness.
The force of the kick indicated severe internal injuries.
The guard, looking ferocious, grabbed another waiter by the collar. “We were here first, why did you serve them before us? Are you looking down on us because we’re foreigners?”
The waiter trembled, “They arrived before you, so we served them first. There was no disrespect intended.”
The shopkeeper walked over and said in a friendly manner, “Young Masters, we serve the dishes in order. We won’t make the guests wait too long. Is there a misunderstanding?”
“Misunderstanding?” The guard pushed the waiter away. He used a lot of strength, and the waiter took a few steps back. In the end, he fell to the ground.
The shopkeeper smiled apologetically and said, “There must be a misunderstanding. Young Masters, how about I arrange for soone to serve you food imdiately?”
The guard was unrelenting. “Arrange for the dishes to be served now? It’s too late! Do you know our master’s identity? You can’t afford to offend him!”
The shopkeeper’s gaze landed on the two noble n who had not spoken from the beginning to the end. “Then Young Master, tell us what to do. We will definitely do as we can.”
The two of them only glanced at the shopkeeper and did not say anything.
The guard said, “We can let this matter rest.” He pointed at the two waiters on the ground, “You two, pick up the food from the floor and eat it. Then lick the floor clean, and we’ll consider the matter settled.”
Such a demand was a clear insult..
