Chapter 258 The Third Young Master's Flame Tower

Mo Yunzhu knew that she couldn't say too much today, so she told Uncle Li that she would come often and then left.

Then she asked Shunzi to be the guide and started to walk around the imperial city.

"That restaurant is very big, it looks nice, and its business is booming." Yuan Qing said when he saw the crowded place on the street corner.

"That's the Flame Restaurant, the busiest restaurant in the imperial city. It's owned by the Fan family and the food there is very good." Shunzi said.

"I wonder if there is any vacant table. We can have dinner here." Mo Yunzhu suddenly felt hungry.

Shunzi chuckled and said, "There must be a seat. Just mention Master Zhuo's name. The Fan family and Wanyao Pavilion also have business. Moreover, Fan Dahu, the head of the Fan family, always looks for Wanyao Pavilion whenever he needs good medicinal materials."

Yuan Qing tilted his head and said, "Isn't Master Zhuo here? Can I give my name?"

"Okay, I'll do it." Shunzi said happily.

Mo Yunzhu nodded, and Shunzi immediately ran off to find the shopkeeper.

"Miss, this business is similar to Haiguanlou. It's really profitable." Yuan Qing saw the people at the door. They were all well-dressed and obviously wealthy.

"Business is better here. There are few women at Haiguanlou during the night market. Look here, both men and women can come out, and there are even more people dining." Mo Yunzhu saw many men and women going in together.

It can be seen that Chen Guo’s views on men and women are much more open than Qingyun’s.

"Oh, yes, those seem to be unmarried young ladies. Wow, Miss, the unmarried girls here can come out as they please." Yuan Qing said in surprise.

"Isn't this good? Men and women should be equal. Why can men go out to eat, drink and have fun, but women can't?" Mo Yunzhu shrugged. "In this regard, Qingyun should learn from Chen Guo."

Yuan Qing scratched his head, thinking that the phrase "equality between men and women" was a little unbelievable.

But when he saw the pretty and cold face of the eldest lady, he suddenly smiled bitterly. Compared to the eldest lady, the girl should be taller.

Shunzi came out quickly and said happily, "Miss, it's done. Please come in. Hehe, we're in for a treat tonight. The last time I had a meal here was when Master Zhuo was here half a year ago."

Mo Yunzhu smiled and said, "Next time I'll ask Master Zhuo to take you out to eat more often."

"Really? Thank you, miss." Shunzi's saliva was about to flow down.

When the shopkeeper saw Mo Yunzhu coming in, his eyes lit up instantly. After exchanging glances with Shunzi, he smiled and asked the waiter to take her in.

As soon as Mo Yunzhu walked up the stairs to the second floor, someone called out "Master Fan" from behind.

Mo Yunzhu turned around and saw a man in his twenties with a slender figure and handsome looks. He looked much more pleasing to the eye than Fan Fengze.

"Miss, he is the third young master of the Fan family, Fan Yuan. While the eldest young master Fan is away, the third young master is in charge of this Flame Tower." Shunzi saw Mo Yunzhu stop to look at Fan Yuan and immediately introduced him.

Fan Yuan greeted the guests he knew, then looked up and saw Mo Yunzhu looking at him.

Perhaps it was because Mo Yunzhu had particularly fair skin and outstanding looks, so Fan Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

However, Mo Yunzhu had already turned around and walked upstairs.

The waiter took them to a booth. All the booths on the second floor were semi-private, separated by beaded curtains. They couldn't hear the whispers of the people next to them, but they could see their silhouettes.

"Shunzi, you order the dishes." Mo Yunzhu smiled at Shunzi, "Yuanqing, you two can order whatever you want to eat. There is no need to save money for me."

Yuan Qing also smiled happily and said, "When we return, Chang Teng will be envious to death."

Mo Yunzhu was amused by him and said, "If it's really delicious, bring him here for another meal."

Shunzi nodded immediately and started ordering dishes, all of which were the most famous specialties of the Flame House.

"Miss, there is mulberry wine here. You must have some. It is specially brewed for women. Many women like it very much and say that it will not make them drunk."

"Then let's try some." Mo Yunzhu was in a good mood, so it was not a problem for her to drink a little wine, especially fruit wine.

They had melon seeds to crack before the food was served. Mo Yunzhu followed the local customs and started chatting while cracking melon seeds.

People around were chatting, so it was a bit noisy, but not unbearable, and it felt quite lively.

Soon, the dishes came up. The waiter's voice was so unique that Mo Yunzhu couldn't help laughing.

"Miss, please try it. This is a special brined meat, best eaten with wine." Shunzi introduced.

Mo Yunzhu didn't pretend and started eating right away. The food tasted really good and the subsequent dishes were also unique. However, for Mo Yunzhu, the seafood at Haiguanlou was more in line with her taste, as the dishes here tended to be heavier in flavor.

When the three were eating happily, Fan Yuan suddenly appeared at the door of their booth with a smile.

"Three guests, are you satisfied with the dishes in our restaurant?" Fan Yuan came in and asked politely with a smile.

But his eyes soon turned to Mo Yunzhu.

"It's OK." Mo Yunzhu smiled, "But I personally like lighter flavors. The dishes here are generally a bit salty."

"Is that so? This is the first time I've heard of vegetables being salty. Miss, are you from Chen country?"

Fan Yuan looked at Mo Yunzhu from a close distance and felt that her skin was delicate and white like jade, but the skin of women in Chen State was mostly rougher and more yellowish.

"Is it so obvious?" Mo Yunzhu could only smile bitterly.

In fact, she hoped that she couldn't see it, but she did notice the difference between the woman here and herself. It seemed that she would need to put on some makeup later.

"It turns out that I guessed correctly. Since the young lady is not from Chen country, I will have someone send some light dishes over."

Fan Yuan turned around and spoke to the waiter following behind him.

"Ah, no thanks. Actually, I've almost finished eating and I have wine to wash it down." Mo Yunzhu quickly declined.

"Miss, you don't have to be polite. I am the third in command of the Flame Tower. I will not let you go back disappointed with our Flame Tower."

"Miss, since the Third Young Master is sending us, we should just obey your command respectfully." Shunzi said.

Fan Yuan nodded immediately, and then whispered, "You three are friends of Master Zhuo of Wanyao Pavilion, and they are also my friends, Fan Yuan. I wonder what this lady's name is?"

"My name is Mo Yunzhu, and I'm somewhat acquainted with your eldest brother Fan Fengze. I wonder how he's doing lately?"

Mo Yunzhu was not afraid of her name being exposed, after all, her name was not well-known in Chen State.

But if Fan Fengze knew she was coming, he would definitely need her to calm the pain of the poison he was suffering from. She didn't bring much silver with her, after all, silver was too expensive, and Qingyun silver notes were not circulated in Chen State, so naturally she had to earn some money here.

Fan Yuan was stunned, and then he said in surprise: "It turns out that Miss Mo knows my eldest brother. My eldest brother went to Qingyun before and just came back not long ago. He is not feeling well, so he didn't come here."

"I'm from Qingyun. I just came back with Master Zhuo. I met your eldest brother in Qingyun. Is Master Fan feeling unwell? If we have time later, let's go visit Master Fan and Miss Mingzhu." Mo Yunzhu had an innocent expression.
