Chapter 247
"Go on your own."
Tian Bajiao turned over.
Ah Zhu didn't leave yet. She sat by the bed for a long time before putting on her shoes and going out.
He came back soon.
It seemed like he really just went to the toilet, but Tian Bajiao heard it clearly. His breathing was fluctuating and he did not fall asleep that night.
After dawn, he was not as energetic as usual. He looked listless and a little dazed. He lowered his head and followed Tian Bajiao up the stairs.
His hands were still restlessly tugging at her sleeves.
It can make people sweat all over. I just took a bath in the hot spring yesterday. After sleeping in this damn place for a night, if I sweat a little more, it will be as if I didn’t take a bath at all.
Fortunately, there are still powders and sachets, and the smell is still acceptable.
The people from the escort agency had already left, leaving only Mr. Huo to accompany them.
After breakfast, they went to find Mei'er.
Boss Shen saw that Ah Zhu didn't look very energetic and asked, "Are you sick? Or why don't you stay and rest for a day?"
"No, I'm fine!" Ah Zhu even spoke less and responded in a low voice.
Tian Bajiao glanced at him and said, "Maybe you didn't sleep well. I don't know what they were moving up and down the stairs yesterday. It took a long time. There was also a lot of noise in the house. Go out for some fresh air. Come back and get some sleep, and you'll be fine."
After hearing this, Boss Shen stopped trying to persuade him: "I didn't hear anything... Then you can follow me first, and talk to me when you feel uncomfortable."
She looked healthy and seemed to have had a good rest.
I also want to hear what Mr. Huo has to say about the fun and delicious things in Zhuozhou City.
Tian Bajiao and Ah Zhu followed behind. One was not interested, while the other walked for a long time before she regained some interest. Looking at the stalls on both sides, she whispered, "Sister, is there anything you like? I brought some money, we can buy some to take back."
Tian Bajiao said with little interest, "No, just go buy whatever you like."
"Okay, then if I see anything interesting, I'll buy one for my sister as well."
They didn't have much money, so Ah Zhu only bought some small things.
The two people in front were walking too fast, so he couldn't choose carefully. He felt a little unsatisfied. While tying half of the jade to Tian Bajiao, he complained softly: "Why is Mr. Huo walking so fast? He doesn't even stop for a moment."
Boss Shen wanted to take a look at the roadside stalls, but before he could stop, the people in front of him were almost out of sight, whoosh whoosh.
Tian Bajiao chuckled and said, "You still don't understand? Some people want to please girls but are reluctant to spend money."
When we first met, I couldn't see anything.
It's so obvious after spending so much time together.
He only cared about Boss Shen and ignored the two waiters. He only cared about Boss Shen when arranging accommodation and food.
Tian Bajiao didn't ask for the same treatment as Boss Shen, but how could he treat his beloved like this? When he brought people to visit other people's homes, would they only care about him and not ask about his bodyguards?
He seems to be the head of a family with more than a dozen people, but why is he so petty in doing things?
No wonder Boss Shen’s expression became increasingly stiff.
This thing is embarrassing.
It sounded nice, but Boss Shen asked him if he could not go with him to deliver the escort.
He said cheerfully, "I should have gone with you, but you have something to do, and you're unfamiliar with the place, so I have to follow you for peace of mind, to prevent you from getting cheated." Boss Shen gave him a stiff smile and said, "Actually, it won't be a problem for you to go. Just tell us how to find someone, and we won't want to delay you."
"Niao'er, you are always so polite. I am willing to delay for you."
These words are really enough to make one's teeth ache.
Maybe it’s because the candied haws are too unpalatable?
Tian Bajiao handed it to Ah Zhu and said, "Do you want it?"
"Sister, don't you want to eat anymore?" Ah Zhu had already finished his string. Tian Bajiao nodded, and he happily took it over. He first chewed the sugar coating clean with a crunch, and then ate the sour hawthorn.
If they had known that Mei'er was pregnant, they should have brought a string of pearls with them.
When Boss Shen and his friends arrived, Mei'er was pale and had no energy to entertain guests, but her husband's sister was very warm and spoke nicely. She wanted them to stay for a few more days and said:
"I heard about your coming a long time ago. Mei'er has been looking forward to it. The guest rooms have been cleaned. We are all from the same hometown and you can talk to each other. Please stay a few days when you come. She has been crying a lot these days because she misses home. Having you here will help her feel better."
Tian Bajiao and the others once felt that when they proposed to Mei'er, Mei'er didn't seem to take it seriously and didn't even send any relatives. They only heard about it when they arrived, and they probably didn't care about those things.
Mei'er's husband's family had some business problems at that time, and her parents-in-law were both ill, so everything was kept simple. Her husband's sister was also getting a divorce, and with so many things happening at once, it was inevitable that some etiquette would be neglected.
Everything is fine now. Her husband's sister keeps praising her, saying that it is a blessing she brings.
He expressed his fondness for this younger brother's wife in his words.
The intention was probably to make things clear, so that by passing these words back through their mouths, no one would look down on Mei'er.
He also said that he would take them to find the jeweler named Chen.
Boss Shen declined the offer, thinking it was best not to bother two people with one thing. "Don't be so busy. Mei'er is more important. We'll go look for her first. We'll bother you again if we can't find her."
"Okay, if you have anything to say, please don't hesitate..."
After talking for a while, Boss Shen and the others were taken to the guest room and settled in.
Tian Bajiao looked at the room, which was not big but very comfortable, and thought to himself: This is where people live.
Huo Dangjia also stayed in the guest room with them, but not in the same room. He was in the east courtyard.
These things went smoothly, but finding a jeweler was not so easy.
Boss Shen followed Mr. Huo and met several people in succession, and they all felt that it was not the right person.
After running around for so long, in the end, the Huo family was reluctant to leave: "Niao'er, what kind of person are you looking for? Actually, these jewels are all the same, and the prices are similar. I can give you a discount on those I take you to see, but after all, they have to make money and can't give you things for free. What kind of person are you looking for? If you don't have enough money, just tell us directly and we can discuss it. But you can't just look and not buy. People are busy too, and they only make time to see you. If you keep doing this, it will offend people when you bring it up later."
What's so offensive about this? It's human nature to compare prices from multiple stores.
He must be afraid of losing face.
Besides, what is this "taking time out"? Isn't it just taking them to visit each stall and shop one by one?
Tian Bajiao saw that he was not particularly familiar with those jewelers, and only two or three of them seemed to have some relationship with him.
Boss Shen was a little embarrassed: "I really didn't see anything I liked. Do you know...if anyone there sells pearls?"
She simply asked directly.
Huo Dangjia suddenly realized: "After all this fuss, you want to buy pearls. It's not easy. Everyone has such goods. Didn't I show them to you just now?"
"The quality is too ordinary. I mean, it should be better."
"Better?" Huo Dangjia frowned and said, "Oh, Niao'er, I really have to advise you, is that something people like us can afford? Even if you buy it and enjoy it secretly, it's a sin..."
