He's the owner of the Luo family's winery, after all; he can't dress so shabbily and become a laughingstock.
After changing into these clothes, Luo Yunhe carried the corn and left the clothing shop, finding a very reliable inn to stay in.
Although she wasn't dressed in the most glamorous clothes, she still looked quite good, especially her pretty face and bright, intelligent eyes that gave her a very spirited appearance.
Their appearance in the best restaurant drew everyone's attention.
The noble ladies in the capital either never left their homes or were already tired of seeing the same old women; this was the first time they had ever seen such a beautiful and refined woman.
After Luo Yunhe ordered a superior room, he asked the waiter to bring him some food and stayed in the room without coming out.
One of the windows in the room faced the main street, where, apart from the hawking of vendors, people gathered to chat. He could hear everything clearly from the second floor when he opened the window.
While eating, I listened to the conversations outside, hoping to find some useful inside information, but unfortunately, I didn't find any.
After eating, he asked his son to bring him some hot water. He cleaned himself up and then lay down on the bed and fell fast asleep. After all, he had traveled for so long and was indeed a little tired.
The next day, Luo Yunhe dressed and left the restaurant, wandering around the streets. He specifically looked for crowded and relatively secluded places, because there were not only some vendors but also some gossipy people there.
This is the only place where information can be collected most quickly.
What he didn't expect was that before he could even sit down and listen carefully to what the other party had to say, a group of people appeared in front of him.
These people were all armed. They stood beside him after they arrived and did not leave, seemingly waiting for Luo Yunhe to speak. Unfortunately, Luo Yunhe ignored them.
Although he didn't know whose people these people were, he knew that anyone in the capital who could command a sword was definitely not a simple person.
Seeing that Luo Yunhe remained silent, the newcomer hesitated for a long time before finally stepping forward, clasping his hands in a fist and bowing slightly to Luo Yunhe.
"Miss Luo, our esteemed guest requests your presence!"
Luo Yunhe put down her cup and looked up at the group of people in front of her. They were all dressed smartly in uniform black guards.
Moreover, just by looking at the position of their thumbs and index fingers, you can tell that these people are all from the Lian family, and their martial arts skills are not low.
"Who exactly is your esteemed guest? I don't seem to know any of these high-ranking officials in the capital. I wonder what your esteemed guest has invited me for?"
"Miss Luo will find out when she gets there!"
Luo Yunhe: "...It seems you won't give up unless I make a trip today?"
The black-clad guards did not speak, but waited patiently.
The commotion drew the attention of the ordinary people, who stopped talking nonsense and quietly observed the area. Luo Yunhe could clearly sense their fear of these people.
Finally, she could only stand up and say, "Fine! Since you've come all this way to invite me, I can't refuse, after all, I'm new here!"
Seeing that he had compromised, the black-clad guard immediately waved, and a carriage appeared nearby. However, Luo Yunhe waved her hand at this moment.
"Let's not take the carriage. I'm not very familiar with the capital, so let's walk there. I can buy some food while we walk."
The black-clad guards were taken aback by his words, but they did not let the carriage leave; instead, they instructed them to follow behind.
This is how this scene came about on the street.
Luo Yunhe walked ahead, followed by a group of black-clad guards and a carriage. However, Luo Yunhe disregarded their behavior, buying whatever he wanted and then tossing it to the black-clad guards behind him.
Along the way, Luo Yunhe bought a lot of snacks, and carried some in her hand, eating as she walked. This attracted frequent attention from the people around her. No one knew who this girl was, but everyone seemed to know the black-clad guards very well.
After walking from the main street to this end and finally finishing her stroll, Luo Yunhe waved to them.
"I'm done shopping, let's go!"
It took him almost half an hour to walk through this street, which shows just how big the capital city is.
After getting into the carriage, it quickly sped off in one of the directions.
After another quarter of an hour or so, they finally stopped. When Luo Yunhe picked out the lotus seeds and appeared at the entrance of a very luxurious mansion, he was slightly taken aback.
The main gate is painted red, and the beams and rafters are decorated with colorful paintings.
- There are usually stone lions in front of the gate, one male and one female, arranged on both sides of the gate to enhance its majesty.
Directly in front of the gate, across the street, stands a screen wall.
A huge plaque hangs above the entrance, with characters on it that are as powerful and majestic as dragons dancing.
"The Prince's Residence!"
He was unfamiliar with these officials in the capital, and even less aware of which of these princes was which. He became even more confused.
Are you sure your important person lives here?
"Yes!"
"Then, is your esteemed guest a prince?"
"Exactly!"
Luo Yunhe: "...Why would a prince like him want to see a commoner like me?"
The black-clad guards did not answer his question; instead, they led him directly into the Prince's residence!
What is a siheyuan (courtyard house)?
Upon entering, you're greeted by an artificial hill and a flowing water corridor. These areas occupy a huge space, making it even more expansive than a 21st-century Beijing courtyard house.
There's simply no comparison. While the courtyard houses in 21st-century Beijing aren't small, the interiors are tiny. Even the corridors are so narrow that two people walking side-by-side barely have room. In contrast, this place can comfortably accommodate five people walking side-by-side.
Who would have thought that the Prince's mansion would be so enormous?
Most importantly, if no one had led the way, he would probably be completely disoriented by now and have no idea where he was.
The maids and servants were all dressed neatly, and each had their own designated area.
Luo Yunhe was dazzled by the sights, especially the young maids, all of whom were very pretty and had a kind and gentle demeanor.
If a girl like that were in an ordinary family, she would probably be the object of many men's desires to marry her.
