Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It was slightly cold in the province, and both Qiao Xuan, and Shao Yunduan did not have many clothes with them. So, they went to buy a few more warm clothes on the way, which Qi and Taotao could bring back to the hotel, whilst they went to a few book stores and returned a little later.
They had a quick dinner at the hotel and stayed there until the next day.
Shao Yunduan was getting ready to attend the gathering these days, and was reading a few poetry collections as part of the preparations. He was definitely going to be asked to make some poems at the gathering, though that was not the theme of the gathering this year.
Qiao Xuan, Qi and Taotao chose to go out and have a tour around.
Qiao Xuan was still thinking about precious plants, but she had not told Yuezheng Xiao about this idea yet. She decided to try her own luck first.
She also wanted to buy a few things for home as well.
Shao Yunduan could not keep her company, so he stressed to Shao Xiaoqi that he should take good care of his sister-in-law and sister. “After the gathering, I will go out with you to far-off places. When you are by yourself, you should only visit bustling localities, not those isolated areas, alright?”
“We don’t speak the same dialect as people here, and we are outsiders who might be bullied.”
Especially those outsiders who did not have any servants with them.
Shao Xiaoqi and Taotao turned serious and nodded in agreement.
Qiao Xuan’s heart also skipped a beat. They were not living in the modern society with high legal security, and they should definitely be careful out there.
The three of them rented the wagon recommended by the manager of the hotel, and instructed the coachman to take them to many popular places.
They even paid extra for the security.
They visited some street-stands and bought a few things. The three of them happened to be around Yanchi Restaurant around lunchtime, which was a very famous restaurant for its southern dishes, especially Suzhou cuisine.
They had wanted to have a taste at this place last time, but they failed to eat there due to the tight schedule.
They happened to be around here at lunchtime, probably because it was destiny that took them here?
Qiao Xuan and Taotao got off the wagon, and smiled at Qi. “You can go and fetch your brother, while we will go in and place the order.”
Shao Xiaoqi agreed and urged the coachman to hurry away.
Yanchi Restaurant was one of the biggest restaurants in the province, so Qiao Xuan and Taotao should be safe here.
Yanchi Restaurant was very popular, and when Qiao Xuan and Shao Taotao went to the elegant room, there was only one room left.
She booked without hesitation, as she said to Taotao, “We are lucky enough to have found one at this hour!”
Shao Taotao chuckled and nodded. “Yeah!”
At this moment, a group of people walked in. It included four beautiful and young ladies accompanied by a few maids.
They needed an elegant room.
The manager was quite embarrassed as he said with a smile, “Sorry, the last elegant room has been booked by a lady a while ago, maybe you can come back later and we will save one for you.”
The lady who asked for the elegant room turned to Qiao Xuan with a smile.
“Lady, you only have two people but we have so many, can you spare the elegant room for us? I can compensate you with one liang.”
Qiao Xuan,
This lady looked very arrogant. She seemed quite friendly but as a matter of fact, she was rude to her face.
Most importantly, this lady did not recognize her, but Qiao Xuan did. Even
Taotao exchanged a surprised look with Qiao Xuan. She had recognized her too.
It was Yuezheng Ting, Yuezheng Xiao’s cousin.
Qiao Xuan did not care if she recognized herself.
They were just irrelevant people in her eyes, and it was not so strange that she did not recognize her..
