Chapter 111 Not Even Worthy of Carrying Shoes
Jiang Yueyao was about to look for Shen Baoqing, but saw her coming with Bai Shaochuan.
She greeted Bai Shaochuan and then looked at Shen Baoqing: “I was just about to look for you.”
"I know a fun place." Shen Baoqing took her hand and led her out. "There's a river over there with a pavilion by the river. It should be cool. Let's go sit over there."
Jiang Yueyao let her pull her and followed her out of the yard.
Bai Shaochuan walked behind, following not too close but not too far away.
The pavilion by the river is not far away and it only takes half a cup of tea to get there.
When they got there, they found that there were already people inside. However, the pavilion was very large and there were many tables and chairs inside. Shen Baoqing still pulled Jiang Yueyao up to the pavilion.
The people inside heard the noise and turned around.
Jiang Yueyao looked at two of them and recognized them as the sisters Pei Yunjin and Pei Yunzhu from the Prime Minister's Mansion. She had seen them once before at the Meng family.
The two of them gave her a bad feeling at the time.
Later, one time, the Pei sisters came to Wanhelou for dinner, and the younger sister Pei Yunzhu asked her to serve them.
Let’s not talk about the various difficulties for now.
When Jiang Yueyao saw them at this moment, her first reaction was...why not change the place?
But Shen Baoqing had already pulled her in.
As for the people sitting at the table with the Pei sisters, Shen Baoqing was a person she didn't know. Even if she had seen them but wasn't familiar with them, she would ignore them all.
A girl who grew up in the Mobei military camp could never learn the kind of hypocritical and flattering tactics of the noble ladies in the capital.
As she pulled Jiang Yueyao inside, a female voice sounded.
"Tsk, it's the royal summer resort, why are all these random people here?"
Jiang Yueyao recognized the voice as Pei Yunzhu's.
The other party has always liked to target her, just like Princess Xiangning before, the hostility came inexplicably.
She also knew that these words were spoken to her, but she didn't care.
Just as he was about to move forward, Shen Baoqing stopped.
She turned around and glanced at the girls at the table, finally landing on Pei Yunzhu.
Speak and question.
"Were you talking just now?"
Pei Yunzhu stood up immediately, raised her chin slightly and glanced at her.
"Yes, that's what I said. What can you do to me?"
"Who are you talking about? Who are you scolding?" Shen Baoqing did not rush to get angry and was still calm at the moment.
Unexpectedly, Pei Yunzhu sneered with a look of disdain.
"I'm talking about you two, what's wrong?" She looked at Shen Baoqing and said sarcastically, "A waiter in a restaurant and a small shopkeeper are worthy of coming here."
"Do you know what this place is? It's a royal sanctuary. Only people like us with status and position can enter. Who are you?"
Few people in the capital knew that '沉鱼' was Shen Baoqing, the legitimate daughter of the Shen family.
Apart from the Bai family, there are probably Jiang Yueyao, Lu Sui and others.
Therefore, in the eyes of Pei Yunzhu and others, Shen Baoqing in front of them was just a small waiter in Wanhe Tower, with a low status. Not to mention coming here, he was not even worthy of wearing nice clothes.
Because of the difference between men and women, when Bai Shaochuan saw another girl sitting inside when they were just outside, he avoided her.
At this moment, he was standing not far away, talking to several young masters.
Naturally, I don't know what happened here.
But even if Bai Shaochuan was not there, Shen Baoqing was not afraid.
Faced with Pei Yunzhu's humiliation and provocation, she smiled contemptuously.
"Of course I know this is the Royal Summer Resort, but I just don't understand who this person is who's barking in front of me."
Pei Yunzhu's face changed.
"You...you are so outrageous!"
"You're the one being so impudent. We have no grudges against each other. You start cursing right away. Isn't that just barking?"
"You, you, you... someone, slap her in the face!"
The maids and servants standing by immediately surrounded them.
Shen Baoqing rolled up her sleeves and was about to start fighting, but Jiang Yueyao pulled her back: "Don't be impulsive."
Pei Yunjin, who had been sitting there silently, also spoke at this moment.
"Yunzhu, what are you doing?"
She stood up and calmly stood in front of Pei Yunzhu.
He raised his eyes to look at Jiang Yueyao and Shen Baoqing, and smiled gently, with pride and a bit of coldness and nobility.
"Shopkeeper Jiang, long time no see. I really liked the mint fish soup you brought me last time at Wanhe Tower. I'll try it again when I return to Beijing."
As soon as she finished speaking, someone came over.
Standing next to Pei Yunjin, he looked Jiang Yueyao and Shen Baoqing over and over again, then asked, "Manager Jiang? Who is this?"
The nonchalant tone in her voice made her seem even more superior.
"Look, you were so busy talking that you forgot to introduce us." Pei Yunjin took the other person's hand, acting intimately, "Rui Ning, you weren't in Beijing a few days ago, so naturally you didn't know that Wanhe Tower had a new manager. And this Miss Jiang in front of you is the new female manager of Wanhe Tower."
Then she introduced the other person to Jiang Yueyao.
"This is Fan Ruining, the second daughter of the Minister of Revenue."
The Fan family of the Minister of Revenue?
Jiang Yueyao suddenly thought of Fan Meiyu from Sucheng.
Fan Meiyu had mentioned her cousin, who was a high-ranking official in Beijing, to her more than once.
It was mentioned countless times that she had a daughter who entered the palace to be a concubine.
Jiang Yueyao had never heard her mention her second cousin, but now that she had met her, it was true...birds of a feather flock together.
Jiang Yueyao couldn't help but sigh, thinking that the great cause was really small.
"The owner of Wanhelou?" Fan Ruining covered his mouth with a handkerchief, laughed softly, and looked at him with contempt. "Why did she come here? This is not Jinxiufang. How can she walk around freely?"
Pei Yunjin suddenly stopped talking.
She lowered her brows, wiped the non-existent dust off her sleeves with a handkerchief, and watched the show quietly.
Jiang Yueyao met her disdainful look with neither servility nor arrogance.
"If I remember correctly, His Majesty has always held the highest regard for 'officials and the people as one, officials and the people sharing joy and hardship.' But today, what you girls said and did was completely different from what His Majesty has always advocated. Did I misunderstand, or did you all simply not take His Majesty's words to heart?"
Fan Ruining's face changed.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
The current emperor truly loves his people like his own children.
But classes have been formed over thousands of years and will not change because of a word from a monarch.
The powerful are the powerful.
Ordinary people cannot squeeze into the circle of the powerful.
The powerful and wealthy look down upon the lives of common people.
But these words must not reach the ears of His Majesty. If it is mild, he will be reprimanded.
If he is in a bad mood, his family may be implicated because of a word he says.
Therefore, the expressions of everyone present changed.
Including the Pei sisters.
Pei Yunjin hurriedly smiled and tried to smooth things over.
"We are all sisters, it was just a few jokes, Miss Jiang, please don't be angry. The most important thing is to have fun when you are out this time."
"A joke?" Shen Baoqing spoke again, "Whether it's a joke or not, you all know it very well."
"They all look like decent people, but they act so high and mighty all day long, looking down on everyone."
"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. The person you look down on today may not even be worthy of carrying her shoes in the future."
