Chapter 168: A Thousand Dollars Hard to Find
On the other side, Xu Muhua found a place to change back into women's clothes. Liang Ming followed behind her, carrying a bird cage. The three birds in the cage chirped from time to time and jumped up and down, looking very happy.
"Miss, how did you know that the shop was not clean?"
Liang Ming couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Didn't I say it? Intuition! Just like I dreamed that my father and elder brother would encounter bandits on the way back to Beijing."
"Is your intuition so accurate?"
"Of course!"
Liang Ming was really impressed, and he was more determined to follow the idea of following the eldest lady. Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about this bizarre thing, how many people can encounter it? How interesting it is, it feels like life will be much more fun in this way!
"Young Miss is amazing! I have never seen anyone like Young Miss!"
Relying on dreams and intuition is like solving a case.
If Young Miss were a man, cooperating with the government might be a good idea. Unfortunately, Young Miss is a woman, so it is not convenient for her to act this way.
"Miss, shall we go look for the madam and the others now?"
"Let's go for a walk first, it's still early. By the way, keep your mouth shut about this matter, don't let my mother know, keep it a secret, understand? I treat you as my own and trust you, so I brought you here to deal with it. Don't let me down."
Liang Ming subconsciously straightened his chest and solemnly assured: "Miss, rest assured, I will keep the secret! I won't say a word about anything that you don't allow me to say!"
During the Lantern Festival, standing on the Yufeng Tower, the entire Suzaku Street is dazzling, and the exquisitely shaped lanterns are dotted like stars, like the Milky Way in the sky, all of which can be seen, not to mention how beautiful it is. At this time of year, painters use this scenery in paintings and poems, and they can often be sold at high prices on the market.
Whether it is manpower or financial resources, Xu's mother feels that their Chengguo Mansion does not have the strength.
It was sour and sweet, and she was not happy to eat it after eating two.
If this is the case, she will have to talk to Mu Hua! This behavior is unacceptable! If they don't have the ability to book a private room, then forget it, they don't have to come to Yufeng Tower.
If it was before leaving Beijing, Liang Ming would definitely sneer at Xu Muhua's words. But now he has an inexplicable confidence in the eldest lady, thinking that since the eldest lady said such words, it is because she has enough strength, not just saying it.
It can't always be just the three brothers of the Feng family. What if something big happens one day, and there is not enough manpower, it will be bad if her business is ruined.
This also leads to the private room of Yufeng Tower being even more difficult to get.
"Big sister!"
"Very good! As long as you have no second thoughts and follow me, I will never treat you badly!"
"Hey!"
Sure enough, the carriage of the Duke Cheng's mansion was seen in front of the gate of Yufeng Tower. Xu's mother was standing there with her son, daughter, and servants, hesitating whether to go in.
As soon as Xu Muhua and the others entered the door, someone came to ask, she said: "The top box on the third floor! The surname is Xu!"
Xu Muhua didn't like to go shopping with Xu Jinyu, pretending to be good sisters, she got tired of this trick after playing it too much.
"Muhua, why did you say you made an appointment here? You probably don't know that the location of Yufeng Tower is not easy to reserve!"
After they all went in, she closed the door gently and went downstairs to continue her work.
"Hey, why are you guys here?"
Seeing the people inside, Xu's mother was surprised for a moment, and then quickly reacted, "It turns out that you kids have booked the private room of Yufeng Tower. I was wondering how Muhua could be so capable!"
Xu Muhua took her hand, "Mom, it's okay, let's go in, we guarantee there will be a seat!"
So she took Liang Ming to stroll around and then walked slowly towards Yufeng Tower on Zhuque Street.
So the eldest daughter said to meet here... Is this child dreaming?
Liang Ming is not the smartest person, and he is not outstanding in martial arts. But he is a good person, upright, obedient, and not too rigid and inflexible. She would observe him for a while, and if possible, she would include him in her intelligence team.
The waiter immediately became respectful upon hearing this, and greeted them and escorted them to the Tianzi box. He knocked on the door, and only opened it after getting a response, making a gesture to let them in.
"Mom!"
Mother Xu looked in the direction of the voice and saw her eldest daughter holding a string of candied haws in her left hand and a piece of cake that was still smoking in her right hand. She was nibbling on it, with her cheeks puffed up, like a rabbit stealing food.
Although she didn't often go out for social events, she knew what kind of place the Yufeng Tower on Zhuque Street was. It was a den of money-spending on weekdays, not to mention during the Lantern Festival. I heard that the private rooms here are in great demand for reservations before the New Year, and it’s not certain that they can be booked!
Because the location of Yufeng Tower is right in the center of Zhuque Street, it’s tall and spacious. During festivals, no matter whether you are at the beginning or the end of the street, you can have a panoramic view by standing under the window.
He smiled naively, "I will definitely help the young lady!"
"Is this child making things difficult for you, asking you to help book this private room?"
Mother Xu's face darkened as she spoke.
Xu Muhua came over and casually stuffed the candied haws into Xu Nan's hand, "An Nan, this is for you!"
Xu Jinyu shook her head.
Xu Nan knew at a glance that the candied haws were left over from her eating, and was speechless for a moment. But she still took it obediently, took a bite, and then looked at Xu Jinyu and asked, "Second sister, do you want to eat it?"
Before Xu's mother could say anything more, she was pulled by her hand and walked inside!
Xu Nan was stunned for a moment with a candied haw in her mouth, and then she came to her senses and hurriedly followed, not forgetting to pull Xu Jinyu's sleeve, fearing that she would be squeezed away.
She didn't want to eat it! And this was what Xu Muhua had left!
Well, if she didn't want to eat it, he wouldn't force her, he could eat it himself, it couldn't be wasted.
Yuan An explained quickly, "How could that be! Sister Mu Hua is very well-behaved! It was because of our cordial invitation that Sister Mu Hua did the honor of coming. Aunt also knows about our relationship with Arui. Arui's brothers and sisters are also our brothers and sisters. It's just a small matter to book a private room to enjoy the scenery! Aunt, don't take it to heart."
"How can you say that?"
Mother Xu felt her old face getting a little hot.
Taking advantage of the good fortune of a young generation to go to Yufeng Tower to enjoy the scenery, this...
"Aunt, just think of this as a little filial piety we show to A Rui. It's not a big deal, not worth mentioning! Aunt, please don't be so formal with us." With
