Chapter 399 Meeting Le Zhengting Again
The provincial capital was a bit cold, and Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan didn't bring enough clothes, so they bought some clothes on the way and asked Xiao Qi and Tao Tao to take them back to the inn. Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan went to a few bookstores and bought a few books before going back.
The four of them had a simple dinner at the inn and did not go out again.
Shao Yunduan will attend a literary gathering in two days. He will look through some poetry collections in these two days to prepare. He will definitely have to write poetry at that time, although this is not the theme.
Qiao Xuan, Xiao Qi and Tao Tao couldn't stay there and had to go out for a walk.
Qiao Xuan was still thinking about the rare plants and hadn't had time to tell Le Zhengxiao, but she also wanted to try her luck.
By the way, buy some more things to take back.
Shao Yunduan was unable to accompany them, so he told Shao Xiaoqi to protect his sister-in-law and sister. "After the literary gathering, let's go shopping for two days! You can go wherever you want. If you go out, just go to the busy streets, and don't go to any remote places."
"Our accent is different from that of this city. We may not be bullied by outsiders."
Especially those outsiders who have no servants following them and are obviously not from a wealthy family.
Shao Xiaoqi and Taotao were startled and quickly agreed.
Even Qiao Xuan's heart skipped a beat. This was not a modern society with a high level of rule of law. She should be more careful.
As usual, the three of them hired a carriage recommended by the innkeeper and asked the coachman to take them to various places.
Even if the cost of hiring is a little higher, the safety is definitely more guaranteed.
I went shopping in the market in the morning and happened to be near Yanchilou around noon. This restaurant is also very famous in the provincial capital. It specializes in Jiangnan cuisine, especially Suzhou cuisine.
I wanted to try the food here last time I came here, but I was in a hurry and didn’t make it.
It happens to be mealtime today, is this God's will?
Qiao Xuan took Tao Tao down from the carriage and said to Xiao Qi with a smile, "Go back and pick up your fifth brother. Tao Tao and I will go in and order the food first."
Shao Xiaoqi agreed and urged the driver to go faster.
Yanchilou is a formal large restaurant, and it is safe for Qiao Xuan and Taotao to stay here.
The business of Yanchilou was indeed very good. When Qiao Xuan and Shao Taotao went in to book a private room, there was only one left.
She booked it without hesitation and joked with Taotao: "We are lucky, it just happened!"
Shao Taotao giggled and nodded: "That's right!"
Just at this moment, a group of people walked in, surrounded by several maids and servants, four young and pretty ladies.
One person came forward and asked for a private room.
The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed and smiled and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. This young lady has just booked the last private room. Would you like to come back later? If there is a vacancy, I will keep it for you for a while."
The girl who asked for the private room frowned immediately, looked at Qiao Xuan and smiled, "Young Madam, look, there are so many of us and only two of you. Can you give us the private room? How about I compensate you with one or two taels of silver?"
Qiao Xuan: “.”
The girl looked arrogant and seemed polite, but in fact she didn't take her seriously at all.
The most important thing is that the girl didn't recognize her at all, but she recognized her. Even Taotao's face changed slightly, and she looked at Qiao Xuan in surprise with her eyes wide open. Obviously, she recognized her too.
This is Le Zhengting, Le Zhengxiao’s cousin.
Qiao Xuan didn’t think anything of it since the other party didn’t know her.
In her eyes, I and others are just small people whom she looks down upon, so it's not surprising that she can't remember them.
