Chapter 108: Moon Full in the West Tower
It was already afternoon when we arrived at the provincial capital, and outsiders entering the provincial capital were subject to strict inspection.
Because the Lantern Festival was about to begin, to prevent any bad people or things from sneaking into the city, everyone had to get off the carriage and check the goods.
Even shaqi ma has to be opened and carefully inspected.
Su Wan was worried that they would destroy the things. If it was just one or two, it would be fine, but if there were more, it would be a loss.
She was just about to say something to the officer guarding the city, but Jiang Yu had already gone forward before her.
With his back to them, no one knew what he said, but those people simply lifted the car curtain to take a look and then let them go, smiling brightly.
Back in the carriage, Su Wan felt strange and asked him how he did it.
"What did you say to him that he let us in so easily?"
"It's worth a little money. Generally speaking, positions like this one guarding the city gate are good for making money. As long as your behavior isn't too suspicious, you can get through with some money. It's better than letting them rummage through your belongings."
Jiang Yu has traveled all over the country, and it has been said that he is a shrewd person. Su Wan has learned another trick from him invisibly.
"We're not familiar with the provincial capital, so we definitely can't go for cheap inns. We need to be able to stay where we want, so it doesn't matter if it's a little expensive. I'll look around along the way and go to whichever one looks suitable!"
Su Wan lifted the curtain and saw the busy streets outside. Many carriages had entered the provincial capital and stopped in front of the inn. The waiters in the inn were busy serving passengers.
"Wanwan, just make your own decision. Mom is fine with it."
When they are away from home, Su Wan becomes the backbone and everyone listens to her.
It was she who proposed coming to the provincial government, so she was definitely the one who had the final say.
"Don't worry about it. I've already arranged an inn. Just go and stay there."
Jiang Yu suddenly interrupted, and Su Wan turned around and looked at him in surprise again.
"Then... I'll give you the money for the inn later. How much silver did you spend on the inn?"
"You brothers and sisters, why do you always talk about money? After the New Year, I won't go back with you. We don't have much time to spend together, so you have to let me do something for you to show my gratitude. I have saved my life in the Su family and have been bothering you for many days. I just want to do my best to make sure you have good food and drink. If you even refuse me for this, I will be very sad."
This time, Jiang Yu refused to take the money no matter what.
"Ayu, it's not too late for you to spend the New Year with us before leaving!" Mother Su was still a little reluctant to leave the child.
During this period of time, she treated him as her own son.
He was about the same age as the other children and very likable. If it weren't for their different social status, she would have wanted to adopt him as her godson.
"I have relatives at home waiting for me to reunite. I'm sure they've been worried for days since I got into trouble this time. I just sent a letter to reassure them, but I'm afraid the situation is still hanging in the balance, so I'm anxious to go back and report that I'm safe!" Jiang Yu didn't hide anything and directly told them his plan.
That’s true, his grandfather is still waiting for him to return.
"It's my fault for not thinking this through. It's only natural. Your parents must be getting anxious waiting at home."
Su's mother looked at it from a mother's perspective. If she were in her place, she would be more worried every day if she didn't see her child safe.
When Jiang Yu heard the words "father and mother", his eyes dimmed for a moment, and then disappeared in just a moment.
In fact, Su Wan really wanted to ask, which home are you returning to, but she forced herself to hold back.
She didn't ask, but her innocent elder brother asked for her:
"Ayu, so you are going back to Kyoto?"
"No, I want to go back to my maternal grandparents. My mother died early, and I grew up with my maternal grandparents. I didn't spend much time in Kyoto, but next year, we should be able to meet again. I will go back to Kyoto and visit my eldest brother to reminisce about the past."
"Okay, it's a deal!" Su Jing nodded and smiled.
When Su's mother heard that the child had lost his mother at an early age, she felt very sad, but she didn't want to hurt his feelings, so she didn't mention it in the end.
"Ayu, our home will be your third home from now on. You are welcome to come anytime you want!"
"Your aunt is right. We will be a family from now on." Father Su agreed.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu glanced at Su Wan opposite him inconspicuously. She had her brows lowered and no one knew what she was thinking.
"Well, I'm very happy to hear your words."
The atmosphere in the Su family was indeed something he had never experienced before. It was lively, warm, and free of intrigue. Everyone was genuinely concerned about their family, working together and being humble. How wonderful it was.
Unlike him, no matter where you are, the last thing around you is people with ulterior motives who want to send you to hell.
The inn that Jiang Yu prepared was located on the busiest street in the state capital, and was called Moon Full West Tower.
This name is very elegant.
Su Wan knew that the full moon in the West Tower must be related to Fengyue Villa.
Judging from the decoration and furnishings, it doesn't look like something ordinary people like them can afford to live in.
The people who live here are all well-educated and have great moral character. They are either rich or noble.
Look at what the guests here are wearing, they are all wearing brocade robes, silk and satin, and the ladies are wearing gold and silver jewelry, and their heads are full of pearls and jade.
After getting off the carriage, the servants respectfully brought stools to help them get off. Jiang Yu had already put on his fang mask again and was holding the sword in his hand.
This is a symbol of status. When he appeared and saw the iconic fang mask, the servants immediately lowered their heads, not daring to look at him any longer, and were extremely respectful.
The Su family members wore short clothes made of the most ordinary material and without any decorations, which was out of place in this bustling place.
Su Wan suffered from social phobia because those who looked at them had scrutiny in their eyes.
The shopkeeper came out to greet me personally, bowing slightly:
"It is a great honor to have such a distinguished guest here. Please follow me inside!"
Su's mother looked at Su Wan awkwardly, still a little uncomfortable with this kind of scene.
Su Wan patted the back of her hand to comfort her:
"It's okay, mom."
When Su Yun and the others came over and saw the restaurant, they thought Su Wan had come to the wrong place.
"Su Wan, are you sure this place is affordable for people like us?"
Su Yun didn't know the truth and felt that his wallet was in danger.
"What are you afraid of? Jiang Yu treated us to a meal and said he wanted to show his appreciation!" Su Wan pointed at Jiang Yu's back.
When Su Yun heard that Jiang Yu had lost money, his worries disappeared instantly.
He is not a shy person. Jiang Yu is so familiar with them, it would be a shame not to cheat him. Besides, he is so rich, what is there to be afraid of?
Public is public and private is private. He doesn't like to dither.
Everyone followed the shopkeeper into the Moonlit West Tower and saw that the hall was decorated magnificently, with singing girls playing music. The sound of stringed instruments was melodious and pleasant to the ears.
"We have prepared six rooms for you. You can choose yourselves. Please come upstairs with me!"
Their rooms are all in the Tianzihao private rooms on the third floor, with the best environment and the best view.
