Chapter 190 Confidante
"Sister Xiao, you are really my confidante!" Sun Shaolan looked at Xiao Jiuyue excitedly. If this happened to her mother, she would say that she didn't behave like a girl at all, but like a boy, and no man would dare to marry her in the future!
Every time she did something, her mother would yell at her until her ears were callused, or she would be confined to her house and not allowed to go out, or she would be punished with domestic discipline!
Xiao Jiuyue stopped talking after hearing this and said, "Wait a minute, confidante?"
Sun Shaolan cleared her throat, realizing she had said something wrong. She smiled awkwardly and explained, "Ahem, that is, a soulmate, a confidant."
"Sister Xiao, please don't mind. When Shaolan was studying with the teacher before, she was always busy dozing off." Tang Tian on the side happily reminisced about the interesting things that happened in the past.
"Cousin, don't laugh at me." Sun Shaolan retorted with a red face.
Tang Tian sat up straight: "At least I'm not sleepy."
"Yes, you weren't sleepy. You were busy fiddling with your nails and hair!" Sun Shaolan stared at her hair and nails and said, "You used to like dyeing your nails in all kinds of colors. I remember my aunt scolded you a lot back then for not paying attention to the teacher in class and instead doing your nails!"
"I, what's wrong with getting my nails done?" Tang Tian held out her nails and said confidently, "Girls should look pretty. Look at how beautiful my nails are."
"Yes, yes, you should treasure your nails." Sun Shaolan looked at her long nails, dyed red, and said, "Your nails are too long. It's inconvenient for you to eat now."
"Why is it inconvenient? It's very convenient. I worked so hard to grow them long." Tang Tian admired her nails and put them in front of Xiao Jiuyue as if showing off. She asked, "Sister Xiao, look at my nails. Do they look good?"
"It looks good." Xiao Jiuyue took a look. Women who love beauty are not limited to dynasties. If Tang Tian put those beautiful manicures from later generations on it, wouldn't she go crazy?
"I told you it looks good!" Tang Tian said cheerfully, showing off her nails. "Shaolan, take care of your nails. I'll paint them for you. I'm experienced in this field."
"No, if I train you like this, I won't be able to lift a spear or hold a sword." Sun Shaolan silently glanced at her short nails, and his eyes fell on Tang Tian's long fingernails. Will she be able to make a fist and punch people then?
I'm afraid that before he beats anyone else, he will pinch himself with his nails.
"Shaolan, your aunt has told you to stop playing around with swords and guns in the future. Come and cultivate your nails with me. They will look good and make you feel better, right?" Tang Tian encouraged Sun Shaolan.
"Shao Lan, I tell you, as long as you get your nails done once, you will like it." Tang Tian chattered all the way.
"Stop." Sun Shaolan cleverly changed the subject and asked, "Cousin, didn't you just ask Sister Xiao how to let more people know about the candy shop?"
"Yes." Tang Tian suddenly realized what was happening and said, "Sister Xiao, can you tell me now?"
"Miss, we're here." Hua Qing's voice rang out.
Xiao Jiuyue patted Tang Tian and said, "Well, we'll know soon!"
"Where is this? A newly opened shop?" Tang Tian jumped off the carriage and looked at the red silk hanging on the plaque: "This looks like a restaurant."
"Is that the word 'Spring'?" Sun Shaolan muttered to himself while staring at the plaque.
Tang Tian said excitedly: "Is it Fengchunlou?"
"Sister Xiao, is this Fengchunlou? No way, could Fengchunlou really have opened its doors in the city?" Tang Tian chased Xiao Jiuyue all the way. As soon as she entered the restaurant, she saw the lotus pond outside the window!
"Oh, the lotus pond here is so beautiful!" Tang Tian didn't ask any more questions. As she walked along, she saw the stone road winding in the pond, and she saw the boat in the lotus pond at a glance!
"Is there a dining table on the boat? That's really new!" Sun Shaolan followed her and saw the table on the boat. She said excitedly, "How fun it would be to sit on this boat and eat tonight, looking at the lotus flowers in the pond?"
"Is that the big stage in the center?" Tang Tian looked around like a curious baby.
"This is a restaurant. Would you like to have dinner here?" Xiao Jiuyue was very satisfied with their idea. Both Tang Tian and Sun Shaolan had seen the world. If they liked it, it meant that those girls in Hongdu Mansion who liked to compare with others would definitely like it too.
"Yes, yes, of course I'm willing!" Tang Tian sat on the boat, looking outside and said, "It's nice to eat on the boat. No one else can see us, and we can still enjoy the beautiful scenery outside!"
"Are there any fish in the water?" Sun Shaolan leaned out of the window and stared at the clear water. When she saw the red carp, her eyes lit up: "This carp is so fat!"
"Is it edible?" Sun Shaolan wanted to catch the fish directly.
"Red carp are only for viewing. You want to eat fish? Today, I'll give you a delicious meal!" Xiao Jiuyue kept it a secret and went straight to the kitchen. "Shopkeeper Zeng, bring out all the new dishes in our restaurant. Oh, and use Ai Qiushi's turntable to see if it works."
"Okay." Shopkeeper Zeng didn't ask any more questions and asked the kitchen to prepare it.
When Xiao Jiuyue returned to the boat again, she saw Sun Shaolan with half of her body leaning out, feeding the red carp, while Tang Tian was sitting beside her and eating melon seeds.
"Sister Xiao, you're back." Tang Tian saw Xiao Jiuyue coming back and put the melon seeds directly on the table. She said, "I've asked someone to go to the candy shop to get some snacks. It's just that the watermelon shaved ice is a bit troublesome to make. But it's okay. There is strength in numbers. I've also found many capable people there."
"Watermelon shaved ice is indispensable for today's event." Xiao Jiuyue took Tang Tian aside to chat about family matters. Soon, it got dark, and the snacks and watermelon shaved ice from the candy shop were slowly served on the table.
Ai Qiushi's turntable was placed on the round table. Everyone looked at it in surprise and asked, "How can this table still turn?"
Tang Tian turned around curiously, not even interested in the snacks on the table.
"Ahem." Xiao Jiuyue cleared his throat and said, "Shopkeeper Zeng, try it. How does it taste?"
"I can't taste the difference between good and bad." Shopkeeper Zeng looked at the table full of overly sweet snacks with an embarrassed look on his face. He could taste the food, but he couldn't taste the overly sweet snacks!
"Isn't Niuniu here?" Xiao Jiuyue raised an eyebrow and said, "Aren't there many female workers in the restaurant? Let them try it and see how it goes."
"Okay." Shopkeeper Zeng immediately went to call Niu Niu.
I haven't seen her for more than a year. The chubby Niuniu has grown taller and thinner now. Fortunately, she didn't inherit the bulbous nose of the shopkeeper Zeng, but took after her mother.
"Sister Xiao." As soon as Niu Niu saw Xiao Jiuyue, her eyes lit up and she rushed towards Xiao Jiuyue quickly.
