Shi Ba left the room and touched the plaster on his chest. It was the seasickness medicine that His Highness had specifically requested for the mother and daughter.
From what His Highness said, it seemed that he didn't want them to know.
Shi Ba thought about it and asked the boat owner to help pass on the seasickness medicine and gave him ten taels of silver to help keep it secret.
The boatman readily agreed.
The boatman saw that Shi Ba was accompanied by a young man of distinguished status and did not ask any further questions.
I just thought Shi Ba was trying to please the young lady behind his master's back.
The boatman knocked on the door himself and went to deliver the seasickness medicine.
Feng Er handed the newly acquired medicine to Ning Yu and said happily, "Madam, please try it. This seasickness medicine seems to smell much better than the previous one. The boss said to just apply the ointment on your temples."
Ning Yu sniffed the aroma of the ointment, which was somewhat like citrus scent. The smell was not pungent and was even a bit pleasant.
Squeeze the snow-white plaster onto your fingers and slowly apply it evenly on your temples.
Soon, Ning Yu felt not as nauseous as before, and his abdomen did not seem to have the urge to vomit.
"Feng'er, take these five taels of silver and give them to the boatman. This ointment is indeed very effective."
Feng'er was happy to see that Ning Yu's complexion had indeed improved a lot.
He handed five taels of silver to the boatman.
The boatman dared not refuse to accept it.
Thinking of the ten taels of silver given by the black-robed man, he quickly found Shi Ba and reported, "They have already accepted it."
Shi Ba nodded and immediately threw out a warning.
"Don't tell anyone about this, understand?"
The boatman nodded nervously.
How could he dare to say it?
But this man in black is really weird. He likes the young lady but doesn't pursue her. Instead, he asks an old man like him to pass on the message.
Not allowed to speak.
It would be strange if you could catch up with someone like this.
Time flew by and we soon arrived in the capital.
Ji Yun narrowed his eyes, watching the figures gradually disappearing into the distance, and ordered Shi Ba, "Send someone to follow them."
"yes."
Shi Ba has gotten used to it these days and doesn't take it seriously.
Capital city.
The streets were bustling with activity, filled with the shouts of vendors. The rich aroma of food emanated from a restaurant on the side of the street, attracting the attention of Ning Yu and the other two.
"Mom, it smells so good. I really want to go in and eat."
Manman blinked her big eyes and looked at Ning Yu.
Ning Yu touched his empty stomach and weighed the money he had saved over the years.
“Okay, then we’ll listen to everything. I wonder what the restaurants in the capital taste like?”
The three of them walked in, and soon a smart waiter came over with a warm smile on his face, "Dear guests, what would you like to eat?"
"What's your restaurant's signature dish?"
"Our signature dish at Zhaoxialou is the Angelfish. One bite is truly divine! Every guest who eats it is full of praise!"
The waiter was spitting and praising loudly.
Ning Yu glanced at the menu hanging in the middle of the restaurant and ordered as he read, "Then I'll have the Angelfish, Lotus Pork, Tangyu Embroidery Balls, Lu Pei Chicken, Peng Gao, and three bowls of rice."
Although the waiter couldn't see the face behind the curtain, just hearing the gentle voice made people soften their hearts.
"Okay, please wait a moment, my three guests."
The waiter quickly went to the kitchen and ordered the dishes.
The dishes were served very quickly and soon filled the table. The aroma immediately filled the noses of the three people, making their mouths water.
In order to eat, Ning Yu had no choice but to put the veil aside.
Ning Yu was the first to taste the angelfish. It was tender and white, and tasted extremely delicious, even with a hint of chicken soup.
I picked up another meatball that looked like a colorful hydrangea. It was soft, chewy and had a glutinous texture.
As expected of a restaurant in the capital, it’s really good.
After the three of them had eaten and drunk their fill, they were about to leave the restaurant when a frivolous voice was heard.
"Where did this beauty come from? Why haven't I seen her in the capital?"
The man was dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, a golden crown and a jade belt. His face could barely be called handsome, but there was darkness under his eyes. He was obviously a rude man who had been drained by alcohol and sex.
Ning Yu didn't want to pay attention and just ignored it.
But he was stopped by someone.
"Beauty, I am the son of the Marquis of Zhenbei. Tell me your name and I will let you go." The man's eyes wandered over Ning Yu, as if he wanted to strip her clothes off.
When the people around heard that it was Marquis Zhenbei's, even those who wanted to save the beauty stopped thinking about it.
A cunning smile flashed across Ning Yu's eyes, and he deliberately spoke with a strong rural accent.
"My name is Wang Dani."
The man frowned and said, "What a waste of a good face. Forget it, come here, block her mouth and bring her into the mansion."
Suddenly, the sound of several horse hooves came from not far away, gradually approaching. The two men on the horse held the reins high, and the black horse neighed and had to stop in front of the restaurant.
The two men dismounted swiftly. They were wearing narrow-sleeved clothes and had knives on their waists. They looked heroic and majestic.
"Waiter, give me three bowls of plain noodles."
One of them placed his sword on the table, making a slight noise.
For some reason, the restaurant hall suddenly became quiet and silent.
Ning Yu noticed that the two men were wearing a red brocade bag on their belts, which was embroidered with intricate patterns.
Ning Yu quickly came up with an idea, tears welling in her eyes and a choked voice, "I don't even know you, and I won't follow you back to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion."
Her voice is so delicate and weak that it makes people feel pity for her.
When the two men heard the news of Zhenbei Houfu, their eyes moved slightly.
