Gu Xi's wet brother looked at the customers who were still queuing outside to eat noodles, and then looked at Yu Yuan who was smiling at him warmly. After a little hesitation, he smiled and waved at Yu Yuan, saying, "I was just wondering where you guys were. I didn't expect you guys were already sitting down." After that, he turned around and said to Gu Xi's wet nurse, "Mom, let's go in and sit down!"

Gu Xi's wet nurse was a little hesitant.

Gu Xi's brother whispered, "I have to go back to the shop to settle the account later!"

When nurse Gu Xi heard this, she immediately walked towards the table where Yu Yuan and Yu Tang were sitting.

"Thank you, little brother!" She walked to the table and said politely, "I'll let Gu Saner treat you to tea next time."

Gu Xi's wet nurse married a servant of the Gu family who was given a surname early on. However, Gu Xi's wet nurse had a bad fate. She gave birth to three sons, but only Gu San survived. When Gu San was two months old, her husband died of a sudden illness. Later, Gu Xi married into the Li family, and Gu San followed her mother to Lin'an, helping Gu Xi manage the farm and marrying Gu Xi's maid, becoming Gu Xi's right-hand man.

So Yu Tang also recognized Gu San.

However, Gu San was still just a young man at this time. Although he was not as calm and composed as he would be a few years later, he also showed some shrewdness and capability.

He greeted Yu Yuan and arranged for his mother to sit opposite Yu Tang. He did not sit down himself but asked Yu Yuan, "Brother Yu, have you ordered the noodles?"

Yu Yuan nodded and said with a smile, "We ordered two servings of their signature bamboo shoot noodles."

Gu San nodded and said, "Okay, let's order two servings of bamboo shoot noodles as well." After that, he ran to the boss to order noodles and urged the waiters to go, very smartly.

He is worthy of being Gu Xi's future confidant.

Yu Tang looked at it and came up with an idea.

Gu Xi's wet nurse, Gu San's mother, who had sat down, began to talk to Yu Yuan: "Which shop do you work for? Why haven't I seen you before? How do you know our Ah San?"

It sounded like a normal mother's concern for her child's friendship, but her eyes revealed a hint of alertness.

Yu Tang lowered his head and took a sip of the large-leaf tea given by the store.

The Gu family is very prominent in Hangzhou, and there are countless people who want to establish a relationship with them. As Gu Xi's foster brother, Gu San must have often met people who wanted to make friends with him.

Yu Yuan had no intention of being friends with Gu San, so he was very frank when he spoke. He said, "We just met yesterday. I'm from Lin'an, and I came here to visit a friend. It just so happened that my friend and Brother Gu had a good relationship, so we went to have a meal together. When I saw you guys queuing there, I took the initiative to call you."

At first glance, this sounds like a typical way to make friends with Gu San.

Gu Xi's wet nurse looked even more alert. She said, "Brother Yu, are you from Lin'an City? Are you coming to Hangzhou City for fun or for something? The New Year is almost here, why would your parents let you go out at this time?" After saying that, she glanced at Yu Tang.

Yu Yuan smiled and said, "There are only two of us in our family. The elders help with household affairs. As the younger generation, we have a lot of free time, so we came to Hangzhou to have a look and see if there is anything worth buying."

Gu Xi's wet nurse frowned slightly and was about to say something, but Gu San came over with a tray with two large bowls on it.

Yu Yuan hurried forward to help take the tray.

Gu San said, "These are your two bowls. We will have to wait a while for ours. You guys eat first and it will be our turn soon."

Yu Yuan gave one bowl of noodles to Gu Xi, the wet nurse, and one bowl to Yu Tang, saying, "We don't have anything urgent to do anyway, so let your mother and my sister eat first. I'll wait for you for a while, and we can still talk."

Gu San glanced at his mother.

Gu Xi's wet nurse nodded slightly.

Gu San smiled and sat down. He helped Yu Tang and his mother each to pick up a pair of chopsticks. He then took a big sip from the teacup and said with a smile, "That's fine! I didn't expect to meet Brother Yu here by such a coincidence. What are you going to do? Have you decided when to go back? I'll buy you a drink when I have time."

Yu Yuan smiled indifferently and said, "My sister and I will be back tomorrow. When we get back, the shop at home will start to get busy. I probably won't have a chance to come to Hangzhou in the near future. If you have a chance to go to Lin'an, you can find me at Yu's Lacquerware Shop on Changxing Street. I will treat you and take you to visit Lin'an."

Gu San took a quick look at his mother and said with a perfunctory smile, "Then I must make time to go to Lin'an."

Yu Tang sneered in his heart.

These two mother and son probably thought that they could get in touch with either the Gu family or the Li family through them!

Yu Tang felt uncomfortable and decided to take action in advance.

She pulled Yu Yuan's sleeve and whispered in a low voice that the mother and son could hear: "The surname is Gu, is it related to the Gu family in Hangzhou?"

Yu Yuan didn't understand what kind of medicine Yu Tang was selling for a moment, and his expression was slightly stunned.

Gu San and his mother exchanged glances, and Gu Xi's wet nurse said bluntly, "Miss Yu knows about our Gu family?"

Yu Tang's face darkened and he asked, "Are you really from the Gu family in Hangzhou?"

She was in her youth, her eyebrows and eyes had not fully grown yet, but she was very beautiful with big eyes and a high nose bridge. When she lowered her head and did not speak, she gave people a feeling of being quiet and gentle. But when she spoke, especially with such a stern face, her facial features suddenly became sharp, with a kind of aggressive beauty.

Gu Xi's nurse had seen many beauties, but she was stunned by Yu Tang's stern face and could not answer immediately. Gu San, who had always been on guard against Yu Yuan and his sister, said immediately when his mother did not say anything, "We are not considered to be from the Gu family in Hangzhou. It's just that my father was a servant of the Gu family. With the favor of the Gu family, my great-grandfather took the surname Gu, so my mother and I could work in the Gu family."

If the Yu family brothers and sisters came prepared, they would definitely know who he was, so he wouldn't need to say more. If they didn't know, based on their friendship, they only needed to explain this much.

Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, Yu Tang stood up and said to Yu Yuan: "Brother, let's go! I don't want to sit with people like them."

The shop was not big, and when Yu Tang stood there, everyone's eyes turned to her, and her words reached everyone's ears. Not to mention the people sitting in the shop, even the people queuing near the shop heard it and pricked up their ears. For a moment, the shop was as quiet as a wooden chicken, and the only sound was the gurgling sound of the hot soup.

Gu Xi's wet nurse had never encountered such an embarrassing situation since she became Gu Xi's mother's maid. She quickly stood up and whispered to Yu Tang: "Little girl, no matter what the matter is, you will only embarrass everyone by doing this. You'd better sit down. Let's talk it over. There is nothing that cannot be solved. If I can't solve it, I will go to our master Gu. He can also solve the problems that others can't solve." The last sentence already revealed a hint of threat.

Yu Tang was afraid that the matter was not serious, and when he came, he was already prepared to put his face aside.

She sat down with a sneer and said bluntly: "Don't use the Gu family's eldest master to pressure me. Since I dare to do it, I dare to take responsibility. Even if you call your eldest master, I won't be afraid to say anything."

Gu Xi's wet nurse was angry, anxious and annoyed.

Although they sat down, everyone could tell at a glance that there was something going on between them. The people in the shop seemed to be eating noodles as if nothing had happened, but in fact, everyone was secretly staring at them, hoping to hear some rumors so they could tell others about them. Everyone's attention was still on them.

Gu Xi's nurse couldn't help but lower her voice a little, and forced a smile on her face, saying, "Miss Yu, you should eat your noodles first. After you finish, we can find a place to talk."

If this was at Gu's house, there would be no point in eating noodles. She would have pulled the little girl aside to talk to her. If she didn't make things clear, she wouldn't be able to eat anything.

Gu Xi's wet nurse was suppressing her anger, but Yu Tang was not prepared to get used to her. She smiled sarcastically and said in a normal voice, "You don't have to be so cold to me here. I'm not a member of the Gu family. Speaking of which, our family still has a grudge against the Gu family - your Gu family's aunt Li Duan, no, it should be said that your Gu family's second branch's in-law, Madam Li, is really shameless. Look at what she has done. Your aunt is still in mourning for others. The family paid for the gift. Lin'an City is so busy that the streets are blocked. Everyone knows it. Don't act like you are afraid of us brothers and sisters and want to curry favor with you. I won't buy it. However, you are right about one thing. No matter what the problem is, there is a way to solve it. If you feel that you have been wronged by me, you can call your eldest grandfather and let him give me an explanation. Let's see whether you are looking down on others or we are unreasonable."

She spoke sharply and made Gu Xi's wet nurse so angry that her face turned red. However, Gu Xi was afraid of the Gu family's reputation in Hangzhou and did not dare to speak loudly to Yu Tang.

Yu Yuan had been worried that Yu Tang was acting too recklessly, but now seeing that Gu Xi's wet nurse was forbearing and not saying anything, he finally believed what Yu Tang said, "Rich families care more about their reputation. They dare not act in front of you and only dare to resort to tricks behind your back." He breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was hanging in the air at the same time.

Would the Gu family secretly abduct these brothers and sisters?

He will meet Tong Er, the shopkeeper, later. Should he talk to him about this?

Or should they hire a boat to go back to Lin'an overnight? Anyway, they had already done what they needed to do, and there was no point in staying in Hangzhou.

While Yu Yuan was still lost in thought, Gu San had come to his senses. He looked cold and whispered, "Are you two here to cause trouble?"

Yu Tang didn't have the good temper she had in her previous life, nor was she ready to bend over and let others run wild over her head. After hearing what he said, she immediately responded: "Who do you think you are? If I want to cause trouble, I won't do it to you! I think you have been in Hangzhou for too long and have become a frog in a well. You think there are no other families except your Gu family. You think that others want to get some benefits from you just because they said a few more words to you. You don't even go and ask around. Our Yu family is also a respectable family of scholars in Lin'an City. What tricks can we use against slaves like you?!" After that, she shouted "Shopkeeper" loudly, and said, "We don't know these two people. Please change the table!"

Gu Xi's wet nurse was so angry that her face turned blue. The boss had a kind and honest face and smiled. It was not right to change it, and it was not right not to change it.
