Xue Qian was a little worried. "Looking at the shopkeeper's expression, it seems that the person who reserved this table is not simple. If we sit here, we might offend them."
In the Southern Tang Kingdom, they are just ordinary people with no power or influence. If they confront the powerful, it will be harmful rather than beneficial to them.
Dai Xiang frowned. "What does this have to do with us? Even if they want to blame someone, they can only blame the store owner. They are the ones who caused this, so what does it have to do with us?"
Xue Qian shook his head and explained, "Not long after leaving the valley, I encountered an incident on the road. A boat operator made a mistake in booking two families. When the day came, both families arrived at the same time. It was the boat operator's mistake, but the powerful party not only punished the innkeeper, but also beat up the guests who had taken the boat with them."
"One of them was beaten to death. This incident caused a huge uproar in the local area, but the powerful official who beat him up paid some silver as compensation, and the matter was over. If you meet a reasonable person, they'll naturally not get involved with you too much. But if you meet someone like this, things will be very difficult to deal with."
Dai Xiang became worried after hearing this and looked at Bei Yutang anxiously, "Sister Mu, why don't we just forget it?"
"Don't worry, just sit here and relax."
Seeing that she was so calm, Dai Xiang and Xue Qian didn't say anything more.
The atmosphere in the teahouse returned to its previous state, with everyone chatting about important matters in the court and the prayers at the Jokhang Temple on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
"If I had known that Master Wuchen had returned, I would have gotten up early and rushed there on the day of the prayer. What a pity, I didn't see Master Wuchen personally choose the two destined people to read their fortunes."
"That's right. Something happened at home that day, so only my wife and son were there."
Most of the people present were wives, children or elderly mothers, and few were heads of the family.
This situation is normal, after all, most of the people who go to the temple to burn incense are women.
"Speaking of the person chosen by Master Wuchen, I'm curious about how powerful that woman's fate is that even Master Wuchen can't see through it."
"That woman must be a remarkable woman."
"I really want to see what that extraordinary woman looks like."
"I heard someone in the study drew a picture of that woman. If you're interested, you can buy one tomorrow."
"No, if my wife sees me buying another woman's portrait, I don't know how she'll make a scene."
"Hahaha, you are so afraid of your tigress."
Everyone was laughing and talking, waiting for the dragon lantern to come.
At this moment, two handsome men appeared at the entrance of the teahouse. They were dressed in silk and had a cold look between their brows. It was obvious at first glance that they were not ordinary young masters.
"Waiter, bring us a pot of good tea and your signature snacks." One of the elegant young men said to the waiter with familiarity and strode towards the second floor.
The shopkeeper came forward as soon as he saw the two men. "General Bei, Master Du, please stay."
The two stopped and looked at him in confusion.
"Is there anything wrong?" Du Lin asked.
The shopkeeper said with a tearful face, "My two lords, I must serve you both here."
"Why shouldn't I pay for it?"
These words made both of them look confused.
"The situation is this. The seats you two gentlemen reserved were taken by a few outsiders. They are very aggressive, and we dare not offend them. Now they are sitting in your seats. Even if I pay them, they will not leave."
