"Young Master, where shall we go first?"
As they approached the city gate, Hanhan asked.
"At this point, of course we should go..."
Jing Zhe thought for a moment and then smiled, "A place every man wants to go!"
"A place that all men want to go?"
Zhang Xiaoyu tilted her head, looking at Jing Zhe with some curiosity: "What place is that, husband?"
"It's a brothel!"
The simpleton answered quickly.
"..."
Jing Zhe's face turned red from holding it in, while Zhang Xiaoyu opened her mouth, first in surprise, then a little angry.
Even the most obedient and docile woman will become assertive once a relationship is established.
Zhang Xiaoyu is exactly like that now.
Then she put her hands on her hips and said with dissatisfaction, "Husband, when we came out this time, my second sister told me to keep a close eye on you. Those random women are not allowed to enter the Jing family!"
Zhang Xiaoyu spoke with the air of a mistress of the house: "And what woman in a brothel is clean? What kind of status does my husband have? Those women would only tarnish your reputation!"
Jing Zhe scratched his head awkwardly, then said, "Xiao Yu, don't listen to that idiot's nonsense. Why would I go to a brothel?"
She glared at Hanhan and said, "Isn't that right, Hanhan?"
"I'm not making this up!"
The simpleton didn't understand Jing Zhe's meaning at all and just blurted out whatever came to mind.
"Back in Yongzhou, the young chieftain said he would take me to a place that all men want to go, and we ended up going to a brothel!"
"What a load of rubbish!"
Jing Zhe kicked him directly, "Chunshui Tower is a brothel, you damn brothel!"
"I don't have a sister, Fatty Ball does..."
He scratched his head sheepishly, looking completely serious.
Jing Zhe was utterly speechless. The simpleton had become less silly when he was with him, but recently, after not communicating with him for so long, he'd reverted to his original, incredibly silly self, which was a real headache…
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoyu chimed in, "Husband, although brothels are better than courtesans, you shouldn't go there too often!"
Jing Zhe waved his hand, "No, no, do you think I'm that kind of person?"
"But if the young chieftain doesn't go to brothels, then where is the place that men all want to go, as mentioned earlier?"
"Of course, an inn! After traveling for so long, don't you want to find an inn to have a good meal and a good night's sleep? Isn't that what a man wants to go?"
“Oh…Young Chief is right, I want to go too.”
"..."
Jing Zhe grew angrier the more he looked at Hanhan's silly face, and kicked him in the butt again.
...
"President Jing!"
Just as he arrived outside the city gate, before he could even go inside, Jing Zhe heard a familiar voice.
Looking up, I saw it was Chen Jiannan.
The people entering the city didn't pay much attention to this unusual address. They just glanced at Jing Zhe, perhaps thinking that the young man was handsome, but his name was really strange!
It can also be guessed that although the newspaper was famous in Jingzhou, information dissemination was too slow in this era, and the people here did not know of the existence of the Da'an Newspaper.
Why did you come here?
"I figured President Jing should be arriving soon, so I've been coming to the city gate to keep an eye out. I never expected to actually see President Jing here!"
Chen Jiannan said with a smile.
Because they were there to lead the way, they traveled faster and arrived here two days before Jing Zhe.
Jing Zhe patted him on the shoulder, very pleased: "Your official rank is now at least a fifth-grade official, so you can leave the waiting for people to others!"
"They did want to come, but I turned them away!"
Chen Jiannan smiled broadly, as if waiting for Jing Zhe was something to be proud of.
The three entered the city, and Jing Zhe and Zhang Xiaoyu also got off the carriage and walked around looking at things.
The first month of the lunar calendar is all about the New Year. Because of the festival, Ruzhou City is still very lively even at night, no less so than Jingzhou.
Where do you all live?
Jing Zhe asked questions as he looked around.
"We are currently staying at Juxianlou, the largest restaurant in Ruzhou City. This restaurant is so popular that when I went to ask, there were no rooms available. We'll try to squeeze in and hopefully we can spare one for President Jing."
Chen Jiannan explained.
"No rooms available?"
Jing Zhe smiled and looked at Zhang Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, do you think it's true that there's nothing there, or that you're just pretending?"
"It's definitely not real! The New Year isn't over yet, and tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. Where would so many out-of-towners stay at the hotel? Wenxiangju has empty rooms, let alone this place."
Zhang Xiaoyu, as expected of the hotel owner, hit the nail on the head regarding this issue.
Chen Jiannan suddenly realized what was going on, but asked curiously, "But why did they deliberately say they didn't have a room when they did?"
Did you reveal your identities?
Chen Jiannan shook his head and said, "We did everything as President Jing instructed. We didn't say anything, but the waiter guessed that we came from Jingzhou. After all, accents don't lie."
"That's it! They're definitely saying that because they think we're from out of town, trying to get a higher price!"
"Shameless! No wonder that waiter spoke with ill intent!"
After listening to Jing Zhe's analysis, Chen Jiannan suddenly understood.
"President Jing, how about we change inns? Although it's not as good as theirs, at least it'll be more comfortable!"
"Need not."
Jing Zhe waved his hand, "I lack everything, except money. If they want it, then give it to them. I'm just afraid they'll end up losing everything. It'll also be a good opportunity for me to see what the best restaurant in Ruzhou is like! Don't you think so, Xiaoyu?"
Although Zhang Xiaoyu always presented herself as a well-behaved and sensible little woman when she was with Jing Zhe, she had long since developed the temperament of a businesswoman after running Zhang Family Winery and Wenxiangju for so long.
At this moment, she also laughed and said, "Yes, Xiaoyu also wants to check out the best restaurants in Ruzhou City! Once she learns how, she can use it on our Wenxiangju restaurant!"
As she spoke, she winked at Jing Zhe playfully.
"..."
Standing there dumbfounded and unexpectedly fed a mouthful of dog food, Chen Jiannan remained unfazed. Now that Jing Zhe had arrived, he had a pillar of support, so he didn't say anything more and led the way.
Before long, the group arrived at the entrance of "Zhuxianlou".
This Juxianlou is naturally the best restaurant in Ruzhou City that Chen Jiannan mentioned.
The group looked up and saw a brightly colored, exquisite pavilion standing before them. It was more than three stories high, and the entire exterior of the building was painted with red and yellow paint. Colorful flags and lanterns hung around the perimeter, swaying in the wind.
The entire pavilion was bright and magnificent. Even before entering, one could hear the sounds of orchestral music and people's laughter and conversation. In particular, the clear laughter of a young woman puzzled Jing Zhe.
Isn't this a restaurant?
Why does it sound like a brothel?
