Chapter 682 You should let Jiao talk to you

Ju Ge'er and Xing Xing, as well as Wei Zihang and Song Shouqing, met five-year-old Xu Ge'er when they were about to leave the house. Xu Ge'er was clamoring to go out for dinner with his brothers and sisters. Xing Xing always doted on Xu Ge'er, so she took him along.

There are five masters alone, plus the servants they bring with them, it's like a force of numbers.

When they arrived at the Suyang Restaurant, they were told that there were no elegant rooms. However, the owner of the Suyang Restaurant recognized Xingxing at once. After all, Xingxing and her friends had caused a scene with the young master of the Wuhe County Prince's family at their restaurant last time, and the young master of the Wuhe County Prince's family had brought disgrace upon the entire Wuhe County Prince's family.

However, this little ancestor was appeased by a constant stream of gifts from the current emperor and the empress.

Anyone with a brain knows who is the one that cannot be messed with.

The owner of the Su Yang Restaurant immediately vacated the best and most elegant room in the restaurant.

"Princess, please come in. Gentlemen, please come in." The shopkeeper greeted them with a smile and asked the waiter to bring over several Su Yang's famous cold platters as free dishes.

There are many sweet Suzhou dishes. Even among the several exquisite cold dishes given as gifts, there are two sweet dishes.

Xu Ge'er was concentrating on eating and was enjoying it very much.

Xingxing smiled gently and used a handkerchief to wipe the corners of Xuger's mouth.

This made Song Shouqing and Wei Zihang a little stunned.

Ju Ge'er coughed heavily, looking very unhappy.

It was rare that Song Shouqing and Wei Zihang showed embarrassed looks at the same time. They both realized that they were being rude and looked away at the same time.

Because Xingxing and her friends were "distinguished guests", the dishes were served very quickly. Soon, several waiters had filled the large round table in the private room with dishes.

Xingxing helped Xu Ge'er pick up a few dishes. Song Shouqing was a native of Suzhou and had been to this restaurant several times. He highly recommended several of the restaurant's specialties.

Wei Zihang saw that people had recommended it with such good intentions, so he thought it would not be a good idea to continue arguing and just started eating obediently.

Ju Ge'er naturally helped Xu Ge'er pick up the food. Xu Ge'er ate very happily. He swallowed the food in his mouth and kept saying that he would come again next time.

The group was enjoying their meal when a quarrel was heard outside the private room: "What do you mean there is no room? Don't think I don't know that your restaurant always keeps the best private room for emergencies!... What's the matter? Do you think my master's status is not enough to use this private room? Do you know who my master is?"

"Master, this master, it's not like that. The main thing is, really, the elegant room is full, really full..."

"Get lost! My master brought his friends here today to give you face! My master's carriage will be here in an incense stick of time, hurry up! Hurry up and vacate the best room for me!"

There was noise, shoving and chaos outside.

Orange frowned.

He was out for dinner with his brothers and sisters, and the noise outside the door really affected his mood.

Xu Ge'er was young and didn't understand anything, but he was already standing up curiously, holding onto the table and wanting to go out and take a look.

Ju Ge'er pushed Xu Ge'er back to sit and told Xing Xing: "I'll go out and take a look. Don't let Xu Ge'er run around."

Xingxing nodded.

The man outside was making more and more noise. When Ju Ge'er opened the door, he insisted on breaking into the elegant room. He staggered and almost fell.

The innkeeper looked terrified: "Please forgive me, sir. Please forgive me, sir."

The other party was so embarrassed that he was furious. When he looked up and saw that Ju Ge'er was just a half-grown boy, he sneered and said, "Shopkeeper, the noble man you are talking about is just such a young boy!"

The wine shop owner was speechless, he knew that these dignitaries did not like to show off their status to the outside world. How could he tell them that the person sitting inside was Princess Fusui, who was extremely loved by the Emperor and the Empress!

"Everything has to have a first come first served." Ju Ge'er was not angry when being scolded by the young boy. He just looked at the other person and felt that the man's dress looked like a servant who ran errands for the powerful. Although Ju Ge'er did not look down on the other person for this, he also found it a little funny. This person spoke so arrogantly, wasn't he just a fox who took advantage of the power of others to run errands for others?

But the other party took Ju Ge'er's reasonable behavior as fear.

He sneered: "What a rotten fish and shrimp dare to tell me that first come first served! Do you know who I am——"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice coming from the staircase: "Zhao Si, what are you doing standing there? Where is the elegant room I asked you to reserve?"

But there came another group of people, coming up from the stairs.

When the man heard the voice, he shuddered all over and his knees almost went weak.

He quickly turned around and knelt down in front of the other party.

"Master, Master, why are you here now? I was bullied and didn't do my job well—"

Xing Xing originally planned to let Ju Ge'er handle it, but when she heard a familiar voice, she frowned slightly, and stuffed Xu Ge'er directly into Song Shouqing's arms, asking Song Shouqing to help her take care of Xu Ge'er.

Although he is not very old, still a teenager, he has extraordinary demeanor and nobility.

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking very friendly, and said to the man kneeling on the ground: "I told you to book the elegant room. I want to entertain my friends. Now you have messed up. What should I and my friends do?"

It was clearly a very peaceful tone, but Zhao Si, who was kneeling on the ground, was sweating profusely after hearing it.

You can tell at first glance that it's not simple.

Ju Ge'er was amazed.

I thought to myself, who is this? He is so pretentious!

Zhao Sihun's whole body was trembling slightly. He suddenly pointed at Ju Ge'er and said, "Master, it's all his fault. He doesn't know what's good for him! He occupied your elegant room--"

Orange: “Huh?”

The young man with extraordinary bearing glanced at Ju Ge'er and said, "You are——"

Xingxing happened to come out of the elegant room at this time. When she saw the people standing in the small corridor outside the elegant room, she smiled.

Really.

"Fourth Prince." Xing Xing directly pointed out the other party's identity, knelt down and bowed, stood up and smiled at the other party, "Your servants who come to occupy the elegant room are not speaking honestly. What do you mean we occupy this elegant room? It's clearly first come, first served."

The moment Xing Xing came out of the elegant room, the imposing young man - the Fourth Prince - stepped cautiously, with an expression on his face that was obviously stunned.

Not only Wei Shibu was stunned, but also the person behind him, probably the "friend" he mentioned who was going to be invited to the banquet - Yu Mingzhu, and another young man whom Xingxing did not know.

Wei Shibu's face immediately warmed up with a smile: "...So it's the princess. There must be some misunderstanding."

Wei Shibu glanced at Zhao Si who was kneeling on the ground.

Zhao Si felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar, and all the white hair on his body stood up in sweat.

How could he know that the other party was actually a princess? !

Just from the look the Fourth Prince gave him just now, he knew that he was definitely dead!

Yu Mingzhu also looked a little unhappy.

She didn't expect that she and her cousin Yulou would run into the Fourth Prince on the street. The Fourth Prince specially invited them to have dinner together, and even then, they would run into the lingering Yu Xingxing!

Wei Shibu smiled and said, "Since the princess is having a meal here, I think the food here must be very delicious."

Wei Shi Bu quickly put aside the issue of competing for the elegant room and asked the shopkeeper who was also wiping his sweat: "... Shopkeeper, is your elegant room really gone?"

The shopkeeper wiped his sweat, he really didn't expect that this seemingly arrogant servant who came to rob the elegant room actually had a master whom they couldn't afford to offend - His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince!

At this moment, hearing the Fourth Prince asking about the elegant rooms so warmly, the shopkeeper smiled uglier than crying: "... Fourth Prince, we are really full here. The last elegant room has also been given to the princess and her family..."

Wei Shibu groaned: "Is that so..."

Xing Xing just watched coldly.

If you have a good relationship, it wouldn't be a big deal to ask each other to stay and have dinner together at the same table.

But facing this dangerous moment, Xing Xing felt that her relationship with him was not that good, and there was also Yu Mingzhu——

That goes without saying.

Xingxing feels that she still can't see a better relationship.

Ju Ge'er suddenly took a step forward, pulled Xing Xing behind him, looked at a young man in gorgeous clothes next to Yu Mingzhu with some hostility, and glared at him coldly.

It was nothing, the young man in fine clothes had been staring at Xing Xing with a shocked and dazed look on his face for quite a while, which was really a bit rude.

As a brother, how could Ju Ge'er allow his sister to be offended by a stranger like this!

Ju Ge'er's actions exposed the misconduct of the Young Master in Jinyi to everyone.

Yu Mingzhu looked a little unhappy: "Cousin Yulou——"

The young man in brocade clothes quickly came to his senses and realized that he had lost his composure. He bowed quickly and said, "Excuse me, excuse me. The princess is exactly as my mother said. She looks like my cousin Yuan Jie'er..."

Xing Xing immediately understood the relationship: "Is your mother Mrs. Jiao San?"

The young master in brocade clothes said hurriedly, "That's right. I am Jiao Yulou, and I just offended the princess."

Although Xingxing always had an inexplicable resistance to Jiao in her heart, Jiao's maternal family was a legitimate relative of the Xin Guogong Mansion. Xingxing would not blame the other party for the sake of the old lady of the Xin Guogong Mansion.

Xing Xing nodded to Jiao Yulou and said, "Mr. Jiao, it's fine. Mrs. Jiao San also mentioned it before. The world is so big, there are many coincidences, and there is nothing strange about it."

Jiao Yulou saw that Xingxing was so polite and her manners were much better than that of Yuan Jie'er, who was raised in the Jiao family, a wealthy and aristocratic family. He couldn't help feeling a little strange.

Seeing that the other party had confessed his crime, Ju Ge'er realized that they were indeed related to him and not some scoundrel who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He calmed down a little, but he still glared at Jiao Yulou.

Xing Xing asked Wei Shibu again: "Fourth Prince, do you have anything else to do? If not, then we will go back and continue eating."

A dark light flashed in Wei Shibu's eyes.

If other people knew his identity, they would have rushed over to curry his favor.

It was Yu Xingxing who, from the very beginning, had clung tightly to Queen Nie's thigh. Only Wei Shiyu, the legitimate son of Queen Nie, could win her favor.

She was so cold to him again today, which showed that she didn't take him seriously at all!

Many thoughts flashed through Wei Shibu's mind, but he still smiled slightly: "...Princess, please do as you please."

Xingxing took Ju Ge'er back to the elegant room and closed the door.

It was as if the Fourth Prince and his entourage were turned away.

Wei Shibu still had a smile on his face, but Yu Mingzhu could hardly hold back the smile.

The trembling innkeeper said weakly: "...Your Highness, a room has just been cleaned up, take a look..."

Wei Shibu smiled slightly: "If that's the case, then you can take us there."

The restaurant owner was so moved that he almost cried.

How considerate your Highness the Fourth Prince is.

How come he has such an arrogant and domineering subordinate!

Wei Shibu made a "please" gesture: "Miss Yu, Mr. Jiao, I am sorry to have wronged you."

Yu Mingzhu forced a smile and said, "Your Highness is too polite. You are a daughter of a rich family. You didn't say anything, so how could we feel wronged?"

After a few polite words, the group went to another elegant room that had been cleaned up.

…

Aunt Jiao San came with a smile to chat with the old lady of Duke Xin and several other respected elder ladies of the Yu clan about family matters.

Since we are all relatives, there is no need to be too particular when talking to each other.

One of the elder ladies of the clan laughed and said, "...Speaking of which, this time Madam Jiao San brought with her Young Master Jiao Shiyi, who is handsome and has great potential. Have you mentioned him?"

Aunt Jiao San was very happy that the old lady mentioned this, but she put on a humble look and said, "Not yet. Our Yulou is still studying with his teacher. When he passes the imperial examination in two years, we can talk about engagement then. That will be the icing on the cake."

The elder lady of the clan smiled and said, "It's as it should be. It's as it should be."

Having brought up this topic, Aunt Jiao San looked at the old lady of Duke Xin with a smile: "...Come to think of it, I have asked my aunt before, our Mingzhu hasn't been promised to anyone yet, right?"

Just a moment ago, he was talking about Jiao Yulou but hadn't mentioned him yet. Now he mentioned Yu Mingzhu's marriage. Of course, everyone understood the implicit meaning behind it.

Aunt Jiao San knew that Yu Mingzhu was the apple of the eye of the Duke of Xin's family. Although their Zhoushui Jiao family was a century-old family with an extraordinary foundation, if her husband really wanted to marry Mingzhu, he would be marrying above his station.

So, Aunt Jiao San wanted to try this sentence.

What if, what if the old lady of Duke Xin loves her granddaughter so much that she wants to marry her to a family that knows her well and will love her?

Aunt Jiao San was confident that if Mingzhu married their Yulou, she would never let Mingzhu suffer any grievances in her life.

Therefore, Aunt Jiao San still wanted to give it a try in such a tactful and decent way.

If you get rejected, that's okay.

However, Aunt Jiao San did not expect that after she asked this question, the old lady of Duke Xin looked at her with a strange look and asked a completely unrelated question: "...didn't Jiao tell you?"

Aunt Jiao was stunned: "...what did you say?"

But the old lady of Duke Xin understood.

That's not what was said.

The old lady of Duke Xin couldn't help but sneer.

Seeing this sneer, Aunt Jiao San felt even more uncertain.

She wanted to ask again, but the old lady of Duke Xin waved her hand and said, "You should let Jiao talk to you about this matter."
