Chapter 97: Seek 2 (Chance on the Street)
Xie Yuanniang wanted to find Jiang Cai today. She had no one in her hands now, so she could only ask for some people from Jiang Cai. But the news she found out was afraid that it would be bad, so she was also worried about what to do. In the end, it really didn't work. She could only send someone to escort Han Xue to her hometown.
Jiang Cai couldn't stay idle all day long, so he would go wherever there were too many people. Xie Yuanniang and Ling Mei walked through three teahouses, but they had not found Jiang Cai yet, but were attracted by the figures of several people.
Ruyizhai is the largest and most luxurious shop, and people who come and go often have high status and rich people.
Standing not far away, Xie Yuanniang saw a pedestrian from Gu Ting.
Speaking of which, all the people in this group have children from the honorary princes in Jinling City, and their origins are either high or high.
Gu Tingzhi, who was born in the Gu Shangshu Mansion, was also among the prince Song Huairong, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, Donggufeng and Ren Xianhong, were among them. This surprised Xie Yuanniang. Unexpectedly, Ren Xianhong, who had a low background, could have dates with these noble people.
As for Donggufeng, Xie Yuanniang met in her mansion in her previous life, and Gu Tingzhi had treated him, so she could recognize him at a glance.
Xie Yuanniang also knew the woman, first the bright and cold Song Nanrong, then Dong Shi. There was a pretty girl standing beside Dong Shi. Dong Shi, who has always been dusty, rarely can smile when talking to others.
Dong Shi's mother was the daughter of the Minister of Works.
Xie Yuanniang guessed that this was Dong Shi's cousin, Dong Gufeng's sister Dong Nanzhi, and then Su Yingying, who was smiling and lively, stood beside her.
Su Yingying is the daughter of Su Chen, the Minister of War. Su Chen was once the deputy general of General Liu. In his previous life, Su Chen was killed because of evidence that General Liu was wronged.
Thinking of this, Xie Yuanniang sneered. She said this on her face, but who knows that there is such an inside story in private?
Dong Shi has always had good relationships with Su Yingying, which is also the reason why the Dong family and the Su family have close contacts. One is the Minister of Revenue and the other is the new Minister of War who has not been in office for a long time. It would be strange if the two families who have no intersections have such a close relationship.
Her eyes fell on Ren Xianhong again, feeling a little depressed. Could it be that it was because of this that there were many opportunities to contact Dong Shi in the previous life. Ren Xianhong fell in love with Dong Shi over time, right?
If she hadn't had something to do when she came out today, she wouldn't have known that such a situation would have happened.
Xie Yuanniang came out today to find Jiang Cai, but now she felt that it was important to be with Ren Xianhong and Dong Shi when she was about to be together. After all, there was only one duck. Dong Shi was the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, and she was better than her in all aspects.
Seeing a few people entering Ruyizhai, Xie Yuanniang did not hesitate and then entered the Sinxiangju opposite Ruyizhai.
Wenxiangju is the largest teahouse in Jinling. The most ordinary pot of tea costs one tael of silver, and the cheapest snacks cost two taels of silver. Xie Yuanniang saved the private money for several years and can only use the cheapest tea in Wenxiangju once, so she can't go to the private room.
As soon as the master and servant came in, a waiter came up to greet him, "How many girls do you have any reservations before?"
Xie Yuanniang glanced around the lobby on the first floor. There was no one. Finally, her eyes stopped by the window. The waiter was a wink. He immediately saw that the young lady was dressed brightly. She was afraid that there was not so much money in her pocket. She didn't want the customers to be embarrassed, so she immediately recommended the window.
"......... This is a window-to-window location, you can see the streets. We smelled Xiangju's window paper for two layers. As long as we bring the windows up, we can cut off the sound outside without making a noise. The girl comes to have tea alone, and the younger one can just sit here."
After saying that, I can’t afford to spend money, but I just say that it’s so scattered that I can’t be happy, and I don’t look down on it at all.
Xie Yuanniang thought the things here were expensive, but it was worth it.
She rejected the waiter's kindness, "Is there a private room upstairs?"
The waiter smiled even bigger, "Yes, the girl followed the younger one to the second floor."
By the window of the second floor, Xie Yuanniang sat down and ordered a few special snacks from Xiangwenju. She asked for another pot of Biluochun. As soon as the waiter stepped down, Mei was anxious to speak, "Girl, I don't bring so much money on me when I came out this time."
"I only have a few taels of private money. How much can you bring with you just want to bring? I don't think it's enough for Xiangwenju to have a plate of snacks." Xie Yuanniang knew what she was worried about, "You can hold a bill in such a big place, and then go to the mansion to check out the bill. You don't have to worry. I will talk to my father after I go back."
At worst, you can sell a few high-quality imitations.
After living a lifetime, Xie Yuanniang always doesn’t want to be wronged. She should eat well and use good food.
Ling Mei breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and immediately smiled happily, "I heard that the horse hoof cake in Wenxiang Pavilion is the most delicious."
"Then you eat more." Xie Yuanniang replied absent-mindedly, her eyes swept to Ruyizhai across the street.
After the waiter brought the things up, Gu Ting's pedestrian also walked out of Ruyizhai. Four men walked in front and women behind. The figures of the group quickly disappeared on the street.
Xie Yuanniang slowly withdrew her gaze and listened quietly to the movements outside. Without a long time to inhale, she heard footsteps and speaking outside. Xie Yuanniang curled her lips. They were so happy that they had to come over to taste tea after shopping.
Soon, there was a voice coming from next door, talking about the tribe debate, and mentioning the top scholar building. Xie Yuanniang stood up and put her ear on the partition of the private room, and she heard someone mentioning her.
"Xie Erzhang Yuanlou became famous in one battle, but she was not seen in the past few days of the tribe debate."
Xie Yuanniang was not familiar with the voice, and guessed that it was either the southeast branch of the Gu family or Su Yingying.
Xie Yuanniang heard the sound below, it was Song Nanrong.
"I heard yesterday that she also went to Fairy Lake and had an argument with Yang Zhaodi. She is the most high-profile person on weekdays. Now the top scholar building is shining brightly but rarely appears in front of everyone. I am afraid that it is because of Lord Xie's demotion, so I feel embarrassed to face it."
The woman was chattering, and a male voice rang out, "Tingzhi, there is still something in the mansion. I will take a leave first and get together again next day."
Xie Yuanniang slowly clenched her fingers, which was Gu Tingzhi.
"I have something to do, so why not join us." This time Ren Xianhong spoke.
There were only four men in the private room, but now two of them are gone. It is difficult for a woman to keep people. Song Huairong was also a little embarrassed. He said a few politely and wanted to give them away, but he was finally refused to stay.
"Girl?" Ling Mei stopped to eat when her master posted on the partition and eavesdropped. At this time, she saw that the girl was about to go out, so she didn't understand.
