Wanhua Building
Su Yin came alone today without bringing anyone.
After leaving Zixiao Pavilion, even though he saw the two stalkers from Baishan Hall had left, he still did not relax after leaving the inn. He paid attention to the people around him to make sure that no one was following him. Only then did he go around twice before heading to Wanhua Tower.
Wanhualou is the largest restaurant in Linzhou city. The food and drinks are expensive, and it only serves powerful businessmen. Ordinary people dare not even set foot in it.
Su Yin was dressed very casually, in a simple cotton and linen outfit, clean and tidy, without any patches.
The waiter looked her up and down, but did not treat her with any disrespect because she was dressed in ordinary clothes and did not look like a customer who could enter the building to eat.
He stepped forward and greeted her enthusiastically, "Did this lady book a room on the second floor?"
“No.”
"Are there any vacancies in the box on the second floor facing the street?" Su Yin asked.
Look at the situation, dad hasn’t come yet.
The clerk thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Yes."
"Please arrange it."
"Please follow me, sir." The waiter led the man to the second floor.
People who work in Wanhua Building have good eyesight. Although the girl in front of him was dressed in ordinary clothes, from her expression and eyes after she entered the building, it was obvious that she was someone who often went in and out of this kind of restaurant.
If you are a poor commoner, as soon as you step into the building, you will feel uneasy and tense, not knowing what to do with your hands and feet. Your eyes will become wandering, for fear of doing something wrong.
Those scholars whose families have a little wealth are often shocked by the magnificent furnishings in the building when they first step into it, and feel a little cramped.
People of this type often try to remain calm, but their eyes always wander around involuntarily, making it easy for others to see their inner guilt and lack of confidence.
There was nothing to be seen on the girl in front of them, which showed that she must be either rich or noble. As for why she came out alone today and dressed so simply, it was not something they cared about.
Following Su Yin's hint, the waiter wisely understood her intention and took her to a secluded box at the end facing the street.
After entering the box, the waiter poured hot tea and asked, "What would you like to eat, girl?"
"Do you have anything delicious in your store?"
"We have a lot of delicious food in our restaurant. The most famous dishes in our restaurant are Eight Treasure Duck, Wine Lees Fish, White Jade Soup..." The waiter recited the names of the dishes.
Su Yin picked out a few dishes and ordered a pot of sake.
The alcohol content of alcohol in the Yong Dynasty was generally very low, just like cocktails and beer in previous lives. Any alcohol that was slightly stronger was extremely precious and very expensive.
Of course, Su Yin didn't know this at the time, and this pot of sake was also ordered for her father.
After the waiter left, Su Yin stood by the window, observing the people coming and going on the street, and soon saw a man wearing a cap walking towards Wanhua Building.
The man seemed to feel the gaze from the second floor and looked up.
The eyes of both parties met in the air and quickly moved away.
Su Yin left the window and sat back in her original position.
Not long after, there was a slight noise from the door of the box, followed by a deep and attractive male voice.
"Yinyin, it's me."
Hearing this familiar voice, Su Yin quickly stood up, walked quickly to the door, and gently pushed open the door of the box.
Su Xiaozhong stepped into the room. His eyes quickly swept across the corridor. After making sure that he did not attract anyone else's attention, he closed the door with confidence.
Then, he slowly took off the hat on his head, revealing a pair of deep and dark eyes. He looked straight at his eldest daughter, his eyes were filled with deep fatherly love, and even flashed with tears.
"My girl!"
Su Xiaozhong shouted these two words with a slightly trembling voice. He was extremely excited, as if he was going to rush forward and hug his beloved daughter tightly the next moment. However, due to the difference between men and women, he held back and just stared at her with eager eyes.
Su Yin felt uncomfortable under the father's ardent and loving gaze. She took two steps forward and patted her father on the shoulder, "Dad, you are not a child anymore, please stop crying."
Crying and such things are not suitable for you.
Su Xiaozhong's excited expression froze for a moment, then quickly returned to normal, and the suspicious tears flashing in his eyes also disappeared.
After seeing his father's serious expression, Su Yin suddenly felt that he looked much more pleasing to the eye.
"Dad, you are amazing. You became the second manager of Baishantang without making any noise."
Su Yin was very curious about how her father did it.
The father in her memory didn't have this ability.
Su Xiaozhong smiled innocently, "It's just a coincidence."
Looking at that familiar honest smile, it’s that taste again, still the original familiar taste.
But she didn't like it.
She prefers a father who sits on horseback and commands the country in a majestic manner, because such a father is capable of protecting his wife and children.
At this moment, the waiter's voice was heard outside the door.
"Guest, the food is here."
Su Xiaozhong put on his cap again, and after he did, Su Yin got up and opened the door of the wing room.
The waiter placed plates of steaming delicacies on the table. Before leaving, he glanced at the man standing by the window with his back to them.
The man's clothes may seem ordinary, but they are actually made of fine brocade. Only nobles can wear such fabrics.
It seems that this little girl came to the restaurant alone today in secret, in order to have a tryst with her lover.
The waiter thought he had guessed the truth and considerately closed the door of the compartment.
As soon as the door was closed, Su Xiaozhong walked quickly to the door, stuck close to it and listened. After making sure that no one was eavesdropping, he sat back in his original position and took off his hat.
The father and daughter looked at each other, and smiled in tacit understanding.
"Dad, you've changed."
"Girl, you've changed."
The two said in unison.
After saying this, the father and daughter were stunned again, and the next second they both burst into laughter.
"Dad, tell me what's happened to you these days. Mom and the others are very worried about you. And where are your younger brother and his family?"
Su Xiaozhong got a headache when it came to his twin sons. Whether it was the memories of his previous life or the memories of this life, these two sons were terrible.
"On the third day after you left, a group of vagrants from Yunzhou rushed into the village, and the people in the village..." Su Xiaozhong roughly recounted what happened after they parted.
After listening to it, Su Yin felt that it was as expected.
"Dad, given Grandpa and Grandma's tempers, I'm afraid my brother and I are in danger."
This is the truth!
Su Xiaozhong is no longer the foolish and filial son who put his parents first. After removing the filter of foolish filial piety, he naturally understands that what his daughter said will most likely come true.
"Dad, did you join Baishantang to find your brothers through the power of Baishantang?"
