Weird person?
Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng looked at each other. Though Shopkeeper Liu hadn’t been in the Capital city for long, he was a worldly man, and for him to call soone a weird person, that person must be no ordinary individual.
Signaling Shopkeeper Liu to talk in the room, the three of them went upstairs together.
Not far away, Huai Hua, who was wiping the table with a rag, swiftly turned her eyes, sneaking upstairs when no one was paying attention.
"What kind of weird person? Please, take your ti and explain."
Lin Yuan pointed to a stool, inviting Shopkeeper Liu to sit down and talk.
Shopkeeper Liu nodded and recounted the events after the two had left.
"Boss, Young Master, right after you two went to the General Mansion, a very delicately dressed young master arrived. He must be soone of high status, as he exuded an aura of nobility all over."
To be precise, this young man was the epito of nobility. Just thinking about his boots studded with gemstones made Shopkeeper Liu swallow his saliva.
"Boss, I bet you wouldn’t be able to take your eyes off him either."
Shopkeeper Liu winked at Lin Yuan, which displeased Xia Zheng, who pushed him aside and snorted, "What what, Yuanyuan is my wife, she wouldn’t be dazzled by those weird people. Yuanyuan only has eyes for , right?"
Saying so, Xia Zheng cupped her face in his hands and even deliberately pinched the flesh that puffed up on her cheeks, leaving Lin Yuan speechless.
"Ah, alright, let’s listen to Shopkeeper Liu!"
Quickly pushing Xia Zheng’s teasing hands away, Lin Yuan rubbed her sowhat reddened cheeks, firmly holding Xia Zheng’s hand that was reaching for her face again.
Cough cough cough cough.
Shopkeeper Liu coughed unnaturally. He ca here to report sothing strange, but how did it suddenly turn into these two flirting?
Clearing his throat, he continued, "No, Young Master, when I said the Boss wouldn’t be able to take her eyes off him, I didn’t an because the young master is handso, but because his attire is just so wealthy!"
Xia Zheng curled his lips and silently rolled his eyes. He was wealthy too! It’s just that he was more low-key.
Perhaps influenced by the money-grubbing nature of Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng, Shopkeeper Liu also got sowhat excited upon ntioning silver: "That young master’s Ink jade bone fan, the several Ancient Jades at his waist, not to ntion the boots on his feet, their worth could rival a city’s!"
A pair of boots that could be worth an entire city, could they be boots made of crushed gemstones?
Lin Yuan was sowhat skeptical, but Xia Zheng suddenly grew silent, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Did this man have soone with him?"
Hearing Xia Zheng suddenly ask this, Shopkeeper Liu was slightly stunned, and then nodded, "He did, there was a slightly short man with him, had a hooked nose, and he hopped when he walked."
He hopped?
Lin Yuan burst into laughter: "He hopped? Could it be that his companion isn’t a manservant but a kangaroo?"
What is a kangaroo? A mouse holding a bag?
Shopkeeper Liu stared with wide eyes, waiting to ask this, but Xia Zheng already chuckled softly, shaking his head, "He’s not hopping; that man’s legs are very soft, like they have springs, which makes it look like he’s hopping when he walks."
Oh, so that’s it.
Lin Yuan nodded, but quickly realized sothing, turning her head curiously, "How co, do you know this person?"
Xia Zheng slightly curved his lips, neither nodding nor shaking his head but turned to Shopkeeper Liu, asking, "What did this person co for?"
Shopkeeper Liu was sowhat confused at this mont, with the talk of kangaroos and knowing the person, he felt like he was not in the sa world as these two.
"Oh, he, he ca to eat."
Shopkeeper Liu thought for a mont and added, "This person is really strange, clearly a very wealthy noble young master. If he were soone from the Capital city, he would surely ask for an elegant room directly. But this person, he sat right in the lobby as soon as he arrived. There were so many people in the lobby, almost everyone stopped eating and just stared at him, and yet this person seed extrely excited. Boss, don’t you think this person is strange?"
It’s not odd Shopkeeper Liu found this person strange. In the Capital city, noble young masters with any status wouldn’t prefer to eat with others. Even if they are not aversed, so would deliberately choose an elegant room to highlight their status.
This man had no such pretensions, of course, which made Shopkeeper Liu think he was odd.
Lin Yuan nodded, guessing, "Perhaps, this man is from another place, wanting to experience the sights and sounds of our Capital city?"
