Chapter 119 Why not give me one too?
Tianxianglou is worthy of being the number one restaurant in the imperial city, and the chief chef is worthy of being born as an imperial chef. His level is really beyond that of most chefs!
Xu Zhao ate to her satisfaction. The half lion's head almost made her half full. Then she tasted each dish.
Her appetite was that of a normal girl. After she was full, she picked up the teacup beside her to clear her mouth and listened to the conversation between Shen Yu and Wang Xingrui.
They were all talking about court politics, which didn't interest her, so she just let it go in one ear and out the other.
After the meal, the two of them scrambled to pay the bill.
Wang Xingrui: "You finally came back, now that we've met, you should let me treat you!"
"It was me who brought Zhao Zhao here for dinner today, and you just added another mouth to eat. If you really want to pay, just treat me to a meal alone next time." Chen Yu retorted.
"Besides, the price of Tianxianglou is not cheap. I heard that your child has entered the Imperial College. You deserve your reputation as a top-ranking official. You should save your salary as a fourth-rank official to buy writing materials for your child's studies."
This is not because Chen Yu looked down on Wang Xingrui. He had seen the news compiled by the spies before, which included news about the Imperial College.
All the students in the Imperial College were children of officials, but of course there were also some knowledgeable children from poor families.
The school has its own atmosphere. Being good at academics is one thing, and dealing with people is another. If you want to get along well with others, you can't avoid eating together, which is an expense.
What's more, in today's Imperial College, children of high-ranking officials love to compare themselves, so they certainly can't let Wang Xingrui's children fall behind.
Wang Xingrui was a little puzzled when he heard this. His child would not neglect the use of pens and ink when studying. At the same time, he felt a little jealous. After his eyes wandered back and forth between the two of them, he said with relief: "Okay, King Anding is rich and powerful. If you encounter trouble in the future, please treat us more often."
Wu Jue would not say such unnecessary words in the past. It seems that he needs to ask what happened in the Imperial College when he returns.
The meal was finally paid for by Shen Yu.
"Wu Jue, I'm leaving first. See you later!" He curled his lips and greeted Xu Zhao, "Miss Xu, see you again if there's a chance!"
Someone paid for the meal today, so Wang Xingrui was naturally happy. He waved goodbye and left.
"Let's go." Chen Yu held Xu Zhao's hand and walked out of Tianxiang Tower.
The carriage that originally brought them here followed them from a distance, keeping a moderate distance and not disturbing them.
Xu Zhao blinked his eyes, looking at the two people's intertwined hands, and thought to himself: He is not shy at all. Anyway, I am not from here, so I don't need to care about the reputation of women in the eyes of the ancients.
It is the most normal thing in modern times to see young couples walking hand in hand and hugging each other on the street.
Xu Zhao followed behind Shen Yu and didn't notice that his mouth was almost stretched to his ears.
As the country was now at peace, Emperor Showa cancelled the curfew and only strengthened the nighttime defenses in the city.
Street vendors are able to extend their selling hours, and ordinary people can hang out on the streets until later hours.
There were crowds of people along the way, including people rushing home after work and vendors who were preparing to set up stalls to start business. In the distance, there are street police patrolling.
"Where are we going now?" Xu Zhao walked quickly to Chen Yu's side so as not to fall behind.
Chen Yu originally took big steps, so Xu Zhao had a hard time catching up with him. When he noticed this, he immediately shortened his steps.
"Let's go to the ready-made clothing shop!" When he went out today, first the customers of Tianxianglou looked down on the simple material of the clothes Xu Zhao was wearing, and then Wang Minsi thought that Xu Zhao's clothes were plain.
This is something Shen Yu cannot tolerate.
He looked at Xu Zhao, who was dressed neatly and looked like a real beauty. But outsiders only see material things.
Now that we are in the imperial city, the conditions are no longer as harsh as those at the border, so of course we have to treat her well.
Thinking of the first words Wang Xingrui said when he saw her, Xu Zhao guessed that he must have been stimulated by Wang Xingrui's words.
"Actually, I don't care about these. If you feel embarrassed, I will go out less often. Even if I go out, no one will know that I am from your Anding Palace." Xu Zhao deliberately said the second half of the sentence.
But the first half of the sentence is true. She has never had any requirements for clothes. As long as they can ensure the basic warmth and durability, that's enough.
This brings us to the advantages in modern times. She earns her own money and spends it herself, and sells clothes in shopping malls. She is also good-looking, so many of her clothes look good on her.
"You know I don't care about these things." Reputation is not something that can be earned by just a piece of clothing on your body. "It's just that people in this imperial city love to judge people by appearance. Even if you don't care, it's always uncomfortable to be pointed at behind your back. What's more, it's just a few clothes. I remember you told Qinghe that any problem that can be solved with silver is not a problem."
He was in a high position and no one dared to slander him, but in this era that was harsh on women, Xu Zhao was the first person to be blamed.
Ultimately, he just didn't want Xu Zhao to be criticized.
"Okay, then let's go to the clothing shop!" At worst, we can create another miracle!
"By the way, I just heard Lord Wang calling you Wu Jue, but what's your name?"
Speaking of which, Xu Zhao and Shen Yu have known each other for a long time. She doesn't know much about Shen Yu. She only knows that he is a great general who defends the country. Now he has returned victorious and is admired by thousands of people.
"That's right," Chen Yu admitted, and explained to Xu Zhao: "Originally, the jue in my calligraphy was not the jue with two pieces of jade put together, but the one with a gap."
Although the two words have the same pronunciation, their meanings are completely different. Xu Zhao immediately realized that they were those two words.
"Wu Jue, the latter sounds more perfect." Xu Zhao thought thoughtfully.
A jade ring with a gap and negation becomes a beautiful jade.
"It's just too perfect, so I guess I changed a word. Life doesn't need to be perfect, there will always be regrets. Besides, Wu Jue is unique."
"That's not bad." Xu Zhao accepted Shen Yu's explanation.
"You all have names, why don't you give me one too?" Xu Zhao found it interesting and became interested, but she was not good at naming, so she decided to leave the task to the authentic ancients.
Chen Yu: "Let me think about it."
He knew very little about girls' nicknames, which usually had special meanings and were mostly known only to family members and close relatives.
Since it was given to Xu Zhao, he had to be more careful.
The Anyifang where they were at the moment was right on the edge of the East Market. With the East Market as the center, there were many businesses in the surrounding markets, and the largest garment shop in the entire imperial city, Huajin Pavilion, was located in Anyifang.
After walking for only a moment, the two appeared at the entrance of Huajin Pavilion.
Huajin Pavilion has three floors, which is one floor higher than the surrounding shops. Various lanterns are hung on the eaves outside each floor. The shop is brightly lit with candles, which is particularly eye-catching, making people want to go in and take a look.
