It was said that he was young and impetuous. Qiu Yin believed himself to be different from others and had a bright future. How could he be willing to do something so disgraceful?
However, due to threats from his father and brothers that his monthly allowance would be cut off if he failed to complete the task, he was held accountable.
A real man should not bow down for five pecks of rice.
Three days after Qiu Yin was given the severed silver, he begged for mercy, saying that he was willing to complete this mission that could save his family.
So, they sent people to keep an eye on the nearest inn along the main road.
In reality, they didn't know Zhao Daya. They only knew that the real owner had arrived based on the pomp and circumstance of her arrival and the arrangements made at the inn.
Fortunately, Qiu Yin lived in Fufeng Town, which was relatively close to the official road, so he arrived in time.
However, Qiu Yin was somewhat dissatisfied, so he became quite arrogant after entering the inn.
He was a perfectly fine young master, but he managed to develop a roguish air about him.
They boast and brag, but when it comes to spending money, they're very stingy.
Ten taels of silver! Ever since his monthly allowance was cut off, he had deeply felt the predicament of being unable to save even a hero from a penny.
Therefore, they paid special attention to money.
The waiters are all carefully trained, and are especially good at reading people's expressions and moods.
Seeing Qiu Yin's fierce expression, filled with reluctance yet forced to hand over the silver, he secretly rejoiced.
However, if you want to put on airs, you have to be able to afford it; you can't do it if you're unwilling to spend money.
To be honest, even the waiter felt that these customers should be charged more. A mere 10 taels of silver was hardly worthy of their imposing presence.
Zhao Daya, however, thought it was more cost-effective to cut the meat with a dull knife. If the knife was too sharp, people wouldn't dare to come back in the future.
Ten taels is neither too much nor too little; it's just right.
Qiu Yin wanted to say that in their restaurant, customers always paid after eating, but the waiter seemed to be able to read people's minds.
"Please forgive us, sir. Our inn is a small business, located on the side of the main road, far from any other village or shop. If we don't collect payment in advance, it's easy for customers to skip out on their bill."
The younger ones are all weak and helpless; how could they possibly compete with those shameless scoundrels?
We'll just have to accept this money for now.
Once you've finished eating, if there's any dish you like, we can place an order and the kitchen will prepare it for you.
We have high-end food boxes here, with a deposit of three taels of silver.
If you need one, sir, you can rent one to take home and bring some delicious food for your family; that would be better than anything else.”
Qiu Yin nodded blankly, thinking to himself, "No wonder this inn is so popular; even the waiter is more eloquent than those in the city."
Qiu Yin wanted to ask if the owner was there, but there wasn't a suitable opportunity, so he planned to wait until the food was served, and if it wasn't to his liking, he would cause trouble.
By then, the boss should finally show up.
Once they meet, with his handsome appearance, he'll surely charm any young girl.
In the academy, he was the most popular among his female classmates.
Having a narrow view of the world is unacceptable.
While Qiu Yin was pondering these things, he completely forgot to consider Zhao Daya's background.
And how many exceptionally talented and handsome young men have I seen?
On the second floor, Zhao Daya was in her private room, taking stock of the accounts.
They were completely unaware that there was a peacock below that was about to spread its tail feathers.
Even if she knew, she wouldn't care.
Previously in the Northwest, due to her social status, some young ladies would linger around her, and some even tried to recommend their own brothers to her.
Zhao Daya then developed the ability to remain unmoved by the eight winds.
No matter what schemes or plans anyone devises, she pays no heed.
Later, when I started doing business, I encountered countless similar cases.
If her heart had even the slightest interest in a man, she would never have left the capital.
