Chapter 15: The Rumored Juxian Building

Because it was still early in the day, Sheng Zhiyao ran to the market and strolled around. Not to mention how happy she was when she saw the bustling market. After walking down the street, it was already almost lunch time. Sheng Zhiyao didn't have breakfast and her stomach started to grow.

"Gulu gulu" cried.

She remembered that her brothers had said before that there was a Juxian restaurant in Beijing and the food there was particularly delicious, so she wanted to try it.

After asking around, she finally found the Juxian Building. Sheng Zhiyao walked to the steps in front of the door and a man who looked like a waiter came over.

The waiter looked Sheng Zhiyao up and down with his eyes, and drove her out without saying a word: "Go, go, go, where are you begging for food? Don't delay our business."

The waiter thought she was here to beg, but Sheng Zhiyao quickly explained: "I am here to eat." There was no beggar who was as cleanly dressed as she was.

"Haha~ You're a little brat like you, do you have money?" The waiter shook the rag on his body with a look of disdain.

Sheng Zhiyao quickly touched her money bag, but found that she had forgotten to bring any money out. She didn't need money at all in Chuanxiang Garden before, after all, she didn't have to go out.

"Why did you forget such an important thing as asking for money?" Sheng Zhiyao sighed and prepared to turn around and leave.

The waiter stood there and saw her lack of money and spat: "Bah, a beggar still wants to come here to eat without even looking at where this place is. Even if you need a month's worth of food, you can't afford it here.

A dish, hurry up and don’t dirty the floor of Juxian Restaurant.”

When Sheng Zhiyao heard this, she gave the waiter a hard look. If she hadn't forgotten to ask for money when she went out today, how could she be so angry here? She was really looking down on others.

"Everyone really comes to Juxianlou to eat these days." A girl in luxurious clothes said at the door.

The waiter quickly changed his face to a smile when he saw several distinguished guests: "Hey, isn't this Miss Yu from the Duke's Mansion? Please come in, please come in."

"Sister Yu, why don't we find another restaurant? Beggars here can come in to eat. I don't want to sit with her."

When the waiter heard that the distinguished guests wanted to change places, he quickly said something nice: "Don't worry, Miss Yu, you know that ours is the best restaurant in Beijing. No other place is worthy of you and your friends. Don't worry, I

I didn't let this little beggar come in." After the waiter finished speaking, he pointed at Sheng Zhiyao, fearing that others might not know.

"Well, it's true that birds of a feather flock together and people flock together." Sheng Zhiyao couldn't help but retorted.

"Ah, you little brat, why are you talking?" The waiter rolled up his sleeves after hearing Sheng Zhiyao's words and was about to come over and beat her.

Yu Manrou was well-known in the capital for being sensible, considerate and gentle, with a proper ladylike demeanor. She quickly dissuaded her and said: "The waiter doesn't have to be the same as her. Find us a private room."

"Just, just a beggar, don't ruin our interest in eating." One of the noble ladies said.

The waiter did not step forward after hearing what the ladies said. He glared at Sheng Zhiyao and then turned around with a smile on his face: "Okay, ladies, please come this way."

Sheng Zhiyao didn't want to waste any more time with them. She turned around and was about to leave. As soon as she stepped out of the stairs with her left foot, she felt someone approaching from behind. She stopped and suddenly squatted down. She used her little hand to pull the person behind her who was trying to push her.

Go down.

Sheng Zhiyao looked at the person who fell on the ground and the person who flipped over. Just by looking at the material of her clothes, she knew that she was a maid among those noble ladies.

"It's really a bunch of old ladies drinking porridge - shameless." Sheng Zhiyao looked at this group of noble ladies and felt really disgusted. There are really people from all eras who are playing dirty tricks behind their backs.

"Who are you talking about?" One of the ladies turned around and said angrily.

"Who should I tell you?"

"You! You are so brave. You can slander the noble lady of the Duke's Palace." Yu Manrou's face sank when she heard Jiang Shaolan's words. She was not telling others that the maid who fell down was her personal bodyguard.

Maid.

"Slander? Isn't it shameless to push people behind their backs?"

"A beggar is so arrogant. Sister Yu, you can bear it, but I can't. Cui'er, let me go up and slap her mouth."

"Yes, miss."

"You dare to try." Sheng Zhiyao's eyes darkened with a hint of majesty.

Cui'er looked at her eyes and turned to look at her master timidly: "Hit her, let me see how arrogant a beggar can be." With the support of her master, Cui'er raised her hand and waved it down.

Yao saw the right opportunity and grabbed her wrist, pulled her gently and pushed her down the stairs.

When Yu Manrou saw that Sheng Zhiyao was not easy to bully, she stood up anxiously and said with sympathy and pity in her eyes: "Forget it Shaolan, she is just a child, why bother with her."

"Sister Yu, but just now you..." Jiang Shaolan was stopped mid-sentence by the fierce look in Yu Manrou's eyes.

Jiang Shaolan was still confused as to why her sister didn't let her finish what she said, so Yu Manrou put on her usual sensible look: "It's okay, Juxian Building is open for business, and everyone who comes is a guest, how can it be because of her?"

Treat people differently if they are poorly dressed.”

When the waiter heard what Miss Yu said, he didn't turn around for a moment, but his professional habits made him quickly echo: "Yes...yes...Miss Yu is right."

"In that case, why should we make everyone unhappy just because of a child?"

"Yes, that's what Miss Yu said." The waiter nodded in agreement, turned around and said to Sheng Zhiyao, "Get out of here now."

"You are quite suitable to be an actor. It shouldn't be a pity." Sheng Zhiyao looked at Yu Manrou's face and turned around to leave, not wanting to stay any longer.

"What did you say!" Jiang Shaolan was so angry that she didn't know what to say.

Yu Manrou looked at Sheng Zhiyao's back and tightened the handkerchief in her hand angrily. This was the first time someone had said this to her, but her face still looked aggrieved, which made people pity.

"Sister Yu, why didn't you let me finish what I just said?" Jiang Shaolan was still thinking about what she had just unfinished.

Yu Manrou glanced at her sideways, not wanting to talk to this idiot, and left the Juxian Building with her maid.

Jiang Shaolan shouted in the direction where Yu Manrou left: "Sister Yu, why are you leaving? Do we still want to eat this meal?"

When everyone saw Yu Manrou leaving, they felt bored and left one after another. Today, everyone wanted to invite Yu Manrou to dinner at the Duke's Mansion. Who would want to be with Jiang Shaolan from the prefect's yamen? She is not qualified: "Well, since Manrou

Roudu has left, so we won’t stay. We will eat it another day.”

"Does Miss Jiang still want to eat in the private room upstairs?" The waiter saw that everyone had left, leaving Jiang Shaolan standing there and wanted to confirm. After all, it was lunch time and there were still many customers waiting to order.

Elegant.

Jiang Shaolan was furious when she saw that everyone had left. She had finally managed to sneak into the circle of noble ladies in the capital today, but she was disturbed by this little beggar. She shouted at the waiter: "What are you going to eat?"

Eat, didn’t you see everyone leaving?”

"Then the lady is going back to the house now?" Cuier asked cautiously, standing next to her master.

Jiang Shaolan stretched out her hand and pinched Cui'er: "You're a useless thing. You can't even beat a human. I'm going to ask Butler Liu to find someone to sell you to a brothel."

When Cui'er heard that her master wanted to sell her to a brothel, she quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy: "Miss, I don't want it! Cui'er knows that she was wrong, please don't sell me."

"Huh!" Jiang Shaolan saw that there were more and more diners at the door, so she couldn't lose her temper anymore and walked onto her carriage.
