Hexi Restaurant?
Okay, he remembered it again!
He had heard about this restaurant; it had recently opened, but it was incredibly popular, and he'd heard that the food there was especially delicious!
Yes, he'll have a lot more places to go from now on!
He liked the food, but he didn't understand anything about jewelry and such. Forget it, that's not a place for him!
"Grandmother, I found that the clothes at Shuiyunjian are quite nice. I heard they have new arrivals. Shall we go take a look later? We've eaten a lot and need to digest our food."
"Oh?! When did so many interesting and practical shops appear in the capital? Sigh! I'm getting old, I didn't even notice! The outside world has changed so much that I almost don't recognize it anymore! Is that Shuiyunjian shop a place that specializes in selling nice clothes?"
"Yes! That's it! I bought a lot of my clothes there! They're stylish and practical! They don't have much stock on hand, but they also do custom orders. They have a lot of styles to choose from, and they're all pretty good!"
"That sounds interesting, let's go check it out in a bit!"
Marquis Anping learned new information, which he also noted down: Shuiyunjian was a clothing pavilion, which was very unique!
I bet those brats bought all the clothes they gave me from there!
snort!
He's only telling him now!
He'll go there when he has time, and bring back a few things he likes!
They all dressed so uniquely and beautifully, highlighting all their best features; they've really transformed!
Looking at himself again, he suddenly felt that his clothes didn't smell good anymore, and he even felt a little disgusted by them!
These clothes would have been his favorites and something he was very proud of in the past, because the methods of making them and the materials used were all of the highest quality.
But suddenly he felt that he was at a disadvantage, that he no longer had an advantage, and that his handsome and dashing temperament could no longer be highlighted!
Marquis Anping also went to Shuiyun Pavilion. He was a little apprehensive because the storefront looked very ordinary. He wondered if it was a scam. But when he went inside, he found that it was a completely different world inside!
He actually took a fancy to several outfits!
I love it no matter how I look at it, I can't bear to part with it, and I can't eliminate it no matter how I compare it!
There's no way around it, it's just what he wants!
I was just thinking of buying it later, but when I heard that they were limited to one set each, I panicked. What if someone else bought it? Then there wouldn't be any left.
So I gritted my teeth and bought it!
Not only him, but others also bought a lot!
I finally felt much better; his reaction was normal!
If someone sees something so good and remains unmoved, then they're the one with a problem!
I must say, wearing those clothes out makes you feel really proud!
Everyone was asking for the address; they wanted to go buy it too!
It doesn't matter if it's expensive, as long as it's unique and can highlight your strengths while covering up your weaknesses, then it's perfect!
I am not lowly to begin with, so naturally I deserve to wear such fine and expensive clothes!
Soon, this trend swept through the entire capital, and everyone was proud to own and wear Shuiyunjian's clothes!
It has such a unique charm!
Who could refuse that?
"Grandma, I tried a steamed bun while I was out, and it was so delicious that I bought some more to bring back for you to try. Doesn't it smell especially good?"
"Yes! Really! I'll try it! Yes! It's delicious! How about we invite that steamed bun vendor into our mansion?"
"Grandmother, this won't do! They're business people, they wouldn't come into the mansion! Don't make things difficult for them! Besides, Grandmother, they don't make these themselves, I heard they buy them from elsewhere to sell! There are workshops that specialize in producing steamed buns, and then they wholesale them to vendors who then resell them! How can we possibly hire them!"
"Oh! So that's how it is! I must say, this model sounds quite novel! Everyone can make money!"
"Yes, Grandma, if you want to eat this, just let me know and I'll go buy it right away. It'll still be warm! If I'm busy, I'll have someone take care of it for you!"
"That's wonderful! Eat slowly, it's so delicious! I feel like I could eat two!"
"Grandma, you can try some of these different fillings, but don't eat too many!"
"You're giving me food, but you're also worried I'll eat too much. Do you really want me to eat this?"
"Grandma, I was just worried that you ate too much at once and your stomach wouldn't be able to digest it. We can always buy it whenever you want, so don't worry!"
"You little rascal, all you do is make fun of your grandmother!"
"No!"
For dinner, the Marquis of Anping's residence had hot pot again, which went very well with the heavy snow outside.
Of course, only the legal wife and the eldest son could sit at the table to eat, so only they could gather together to eat.
The concubines were not allowed to come over, nor were the illegitimate sons and daughters.
In the past, Marquis Anping would not be too particular and would let his illegitimate sons and daughters eat at the same table, but that is no longer possible.
Whenever he made any move in that direction, Old Madam Su would say she had no appetite, her face would be stern, clearly she was angry and didn't want to eat.
His wife and children naturally sided with Madam Su, so they also said they had no appetite and wanted to accompany Madam Su back to her room. They all ran off one by one.
But the dishes and such will also be removed.
Madam Su said that she might have an appetite in a little while, so she would leave it aside for now.
Even a fool like Marquis Anping should understand that his mother has a lot of complaints about him!
He didn't need to disobey his mother for the sake of his illegitimate children, so he gradually distanced himself from them.
Seeing that his mother's complexion was visibly improving, he knew he had done the right thing. His mother wouldn't be like this for no reason; there must be some cause. Those people must have done something to displease his mother!
A person who can make one's mother dislike them so much must not be a good person!
He knew his mother very well; she hated those with malicious intentions the most!
These illegitimate sons and daughters were mostly too cunning and scheming, which their mother looked down on and loathed.
But those illegitimate sons and daughters had become accustomed to that kind of life, thinking that relying on Marquis Anping, their own status was not the most important thing, and as long as they were favored, they could fight for anything!
"Young lady! You'd better think of something quickly! How can we go on like this? Are we really going to sit here and wait to die? You said to observe the situation first and wait and see, but so much time has passed and there's been no improvement at all! How long are we going to wait?"
"You're just so impatient! Those who achieve great things can't be so hasty!"
"I've heard you say that so many times! How long have I been holding back? I'm practically bursting with pent-up frustration! The wedding date is getting closer and closer, how can I not be anxious? My dowry has to be the most lavish ever! Now that he's gone, we need to find a way to snatch that dowry! Leaving it here is just a waste!"
"Shut up! How dare you say such things? You can only think it in your mind, not say it out loud!"
"Young lady! You're always so afraid of this and that, how can you get anything done? Can't we just be more direct?"
"You think I don't want to? Easier said than done! Even your father has changed; he's starting to doubt us! You'd better keep a low profile!"
