It was still early, and the lantern festival had not yet started. Su Ruojin led the two to Juxianlou.
Wangyuelou is famous for its roast duck, but Xiaobao's stomach hasn't fully recovered yet, so roast duck isn't suitable for him. Therefore, Su Ruojin chose Juxianlou instead.
Juxianlou's braised pork, poached live carp, sweet and sour chicken head rice, and ginseng stewed chicken are all quite good, and these dishes are more suitable for Xiaobao.
Today there's a lantern festival, and with the Lunar New Year approaching, the lobby on the first floor of Juxianlou is packed with diners, and the waiters are incredibly busy.
Upon seeing Su Ruojin and her two companions enter, the sharp-eyed waiter noticed their refined attire and quickly greeted them with a smile: "Are you three dining here? Would you prefer the main hall or a private room?"
"A private room," Su Ruojin replied.
"Alright, please come in, sirs. You're really lucky. It's crowded today, and the main hall is full, but luckily there's one private room left." The waiter greeted the three of them attentively.
As soon as the three of them followed the waiter into Juxianlou, a familiar voice came from outside the door: "Waiter, I'd like a private room."
The waiter stopped in his tracks, turned around and saw the people who had come in. He looked a little embarrassed and hurriedly went over to them: "Dr. Cai, Miss Lin, I'm so sorry, the restaurant is currently full. The last private room was just booked by this lady."
Lin Wanqing spotted Su Ruojin and the other two standing next to the waiter at a glance. When she saw Jiang Qi'an, she was slightly taken aback.
Jiang Qi'an was dressed in a dark blue straight-collar brocade robe today, with auspicious clouds embroidered in silver thread at the hem. He wore a moon-white auspicious cloud and flower sash around his waist, and his hair was simply tied up with a white jade hair crown.
Just by standing there, he exuded an air of nobility from the inside out.
If Mu Jingshan gave Lin Wanqing the feeling of a refined and aloof hermit, then Jiang Qi'an was a noble young master with an innate kingly aura.
If only he were the regent.
Lin Wanqing was very disappointed that she had not been able to meet the Regent this time, but after seeing Jiang Qi'an, she subconsciously hoped that the Regent would be as handsome, noble and aloof as the man in front of her.
That's the kind of man who's worthy of Lin Wanqing.
Why is Su Ruojin able to stand with such a man? What is their relationship?
"Qing'er, what's wrong?" Seeing Lin Wanqing looking a little dazed, Cai Fanzhou called out.
Lin Wanqing then realized what was happening and hurriedly said, "Master, please wait a moment."
Today, Lin Wanqing specially invited Cai Fanzhou to dine at Juxianlou Restaurant. Unexpectedly, Juxianlou was so popular that there weren't even any private rooms available.
Lin Wanqing quickly walked to Su Ruojin's side and whispered, "Miss Su, I'm hosting a special banquet for my mentor today. I wonder if you could give me the private room? I can give you some money as a thank you gift."
Su Ruojin raised an eyebrow, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Oh, I wonder how much Miss Lin is willing to offer?"
Lin Wanqing was secretly delighted. As expected, she was a naive person who had never seen the world and was greedy for money.
She completely forgot that Su Ruojin had donated a Fire Spirit Ginseng to Qingyang City. How could someone who is greedy for money be willing to donate ten thousand taels of silver?
"Miss Su, if you're willing to give me the private room, I'll give you ten taels of silver." Lin Wanqing tilted her head slightly, waiting for Su Ruojin to thank her excitedly.
In Lin Wanqing's view, it was just a matter of giving up a private room to earn ten taels of silver; even a fool would know which option to choose.
Su Ruojin's smile widened: "Miss Lin, I'll give you twenty taels of silver. You'd better disappear from my sight right now. Seeing you is ruining my appetite. I won't be able to eat later."
"Su Ruojin, don't push your luck!" Lin Wanqing was so angry she could hardly breathe.
Then Su Ruojin changed the subject, turning Lin Wanqing's anger into joy and giving her hope.
