Everyone in Huaizhou City knows that Mingyue Bay is a good place to go. There are brothels and restaurants lining the lakeside, various cruise ships coming and going on the lake, and the ears are surrounded by seductive music.
Officials, businessmen and tourists, riding horses or on bicycles, can be seen here in brocade clothes, jade belts and jewels. Being here feels like being in another country.
Jiang Huaixu and Li Qiaoer dressed up and headed north to the stone bridge not far from the gate of Wangyue Tower, where they happened to catch the beautiful sight of the setting sun shining on the water.
The warm winter sun shines on the lake, making the water sparkle and sparkle. It is gentle and beautiful yet also reveals a sense of desolation, like an old beauty looking at herself in the mirror.
Li Qiaoer, who was still dressed in men's clothes, was shocked by the scene in front of her and was speechless for a long time. It turned out that when they were struggling to survive, there were such places and such people living lives that they had never thought of or dared to imagine.
Jiang Huaixu wore a light green jacket and skirt, with two buns on her hair, and ornaments such as pearl flowers and pompoms on her buns. She looked cute, lively and full of vitality, which was very different from her usual casual personality.
This body has a poor foundation. Even though she has always taken good care of herself, her face is only a little rounder than before. Because of the presence of the mermaid pearl, her skin color is much whiter than before.
At this time, she was lying next to Futuan on the bridge, looking into the distance. In fact, the man and the cat were communicating.
[Host, two people mentioned Prince Duan. It's the Prince Duan you pulled out of his baldness.]
Please repeat what they said to me later, and I will prepare food for you.
【You eat it yourself! 】
【Then you don’t want to eat it, okay? 】
······
After the quarrel, Jiang Huaixu brought Li Qiao'er to the door of Wangyue Tower. Two servants were standing in front of the door.
As he was about to go in, one of them stopped him and said, "Let me tell you two, gentlemen, that all guests entering our Moon Watching Tower must introduce themselves before being seated. May I know where you two are from?"
The waiter's gaze only fell on the two of them for a moment before he looked away. His words sounded polite, but they still couldn't hide the arrogance that permeated his bones.
"Jiang family." Jiang Huaixu said these two words lightly, took out a gold leaf and handed it to the waiter.
The guy who didn't move at first saw the gold leaf, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes. He couldn't help but look at Jiang Huaixu a few more times. He gradually frowned, and the more he looked, the more familiar he felt.
The waiter who entertained Jiang Huaixu and the others had not yet figured out which Jiang family they were from. When he saw the golden leaf, his eyes lit up. He was about to reach out to take it, but he saw that the little hand in front of him seemed unable to hold the golden leaf, and the golden leaf fell to the ground through the fingers.
He quickly bent down to pick it up.
Jiang Huaixu asked with a smile: "Can we go in?"
"Yes, yes, yes." The waiter straightened up and asked enthusiastically, "Sir, would you like to sit in the lobby or in a private room? There are only two rooms left..."
The guy, dazzled by the gold, didn't even ask a question about the blessing ball at Jiang Huaixu's feet.
"Find a private room with a better view and send up some good food."
"Okay!"
The guy was busy for a while before returning to the door.
Although he tried his best to hide it, he still couldn't hide the joy on his face.
"Hey, was it Jiang or Jiang that the young lady just mentioned?"
The clerk thought his companion was envious of him for getting a gold leaf, and said perfunctorily: "Who cares what her last name is? As long as she's rich, it's fine. If there were more people who were so generous, we'd be rich!"
His companion glanced at him and thought, it's just a gold leaf, why are you showing off?
"I recognize all the young masters and young ladies of the Jiang family in Huaizhou. The young lady just now looks a bit like the second young lady of the Jiang family..."
When the clerk heard this, the beautiful face of the Jiang family's second daughter emerged in his mind, and he muttered, "The eyes are somewhat similar, it's a coincidence."
The companion wanted to say something else, but was discovered and scolded by the manager. The two of them had no choice but to do their own job honestly.
At the same time, Jiang Huaixu and Li Qiaoer were already sitting in the private room. Li Qiaoer looked at the exquisite and complicated decorations in the room and felt uncomfortable all over. However, Jiang Huaixu was drinking tea leisurely and poured a cup for Futuan, letting it lick it slowly.
"Axu, why did you do that just now?" Li Qiaoer usually thought Jiang Huaixu was very nice, but she was a little uncomfortable with him suddenly showing such a willful look.
Jiang Huaixu pulled the corner of his mouth and explained: "Remember, in places like this, it is normal to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. If they look down on you, you should put them down to the lowest level, and they will respect you instead.
Of course, I also wanted to prevent them from asking which Jiang family we came from."
Li Qiaoer took a deep breath and said, "If you step on them, a gold leaf will be gone. If it were me, I would be heartbroken."
Jiang Huaixu smiled. When she heard the noise coming from outside, she made a "hush" gesture to signal Li Qiaoer not to speak.
Soon, the maids brought in the exquisitely presented meals one after another. After the last dish was served, the maids backed out of the private room.
After the people left, Li Qiaoer's tense body relaxed. She looked at Jiang Huaixu enviously and then started to eat her meal peacefully.
Jiang Huaixu actually wanted to laugh. Li Qiaoer looked like Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Garden. She was curious about everything and was extremely nervous.
Before coming, she repeatedly warned people not to show any fear, so whenever there were people around, Li Qiaoer would try her best to stand up straight.
She was also curious, after all, it was her first time to come to such a high-end place in ancient times, but she was quite good at pretending.
During the meal, Fu Tuan informed Jiang Huaixu of the news about Prince Duan.
[Prince Duan went to the capital to avoid the disaster. Not long after we left Zhangzhou, Prince Duan hurried back to Huai'an Prefecture. After that, he was silent for some time. It was rumored that Prince Duan was too worried about the earthquake in Zhangzhou and fell seriously ill.
