The waiter, assuming it was one of those expensive pet dogs kept by wealthy families, bowed and scraped, saying, "Of course, young master has booked a private room. As long as the dog doesn't disturb others in your room, it's fine!"
Gou'er thought this person was quite easy to talk to, so he paid the money and left with Lu Baichuan.
Lu Baichuan wasn't as happy as the dog; his gaze fell on the ordinary people being driven away.
The common people wanted to join in the fun, but were ruthlessly driven away by the waiters at Zhichunlou, who kept cursing them, saying, "You poor bastards, don't come and bring bad luck."
If even the lowly waiters have this kind of attitude, you can imagine how good the manager and owner can be.
Why would the highly respected Mr. Ouyang attend such a banquet?
However, seeing his son so happy, Lu Baichuan didn't say anything and planned to check on the situation again that evening.
When Jiang Jiuniang woke up, she saw food on the table and started eating without thinking. Just then, the father and son returned.
Gou'er told us about going out for dinner that evening, and excitedly said, "I didn't expect we'd be so lucky to meet Mr. Ouyang so soon after we arrived!"
Jiang Jiuniang was unaware of what was happening outside, but seeing her son so happy, she was happy for him as well.
"Okay, let's go take a look together tonight."
With his son present, Lu Baichuan couldn't reveal anything to his wife. Seeing that his little girl was awake, he went to change her diaper and then dressed her in a clean and pretty little dress, looking incredibly adorable.
When the family went out for dinner in the evening, they could hear people on the street talking about Zhichunlou.
Jiang Jiuniang overheard this and casually remarked, "I didn't expect Zhichunlou to be so famous here. And the owner is quite the entertainer, inviting the two men most want to see. Zhichunlou will definitely be packed tonight."
When we arrived, we found the place packed with people inside and out. Judging from the crowd, we thought we were eating at Zhichunlou Restaurant for free.
The dog was exceptionally proactive, volunteering to find the waiter and take them to the reserved private room.
Coincidentally, he ran into the same waiter he had met when he booked the room earlier. The waiter had been smiling, but when he saw the little cow wagging its tail vigorously next to him, his expression changed instantly.
"Where did this stinking dog come from? Get out of here!"
As he spoke, he even seemed to want to kick the calf.
The dog was very angry. It grabbed the calf and hugged it tightly, saying, "This is my puppy!"
The waiter never expected that this respectable young master would keep such a worthless mongrel as his pet, and his expression twisted for a moment.
“Young master, you cannot bring your dog in; that’s our rule here.”
"Why? You clearly said it was okay."
The waiter shook his head, his tone slightly disdainful: "It's nothing, it's just that our restaurant has a rule that we don't allow these worthless mongrel dogs in, otherwise we'll just turn them into a dish."
The dog instantly flew into a rage. What do you mean by a worthless mongrel?
"The calf isn't a stray dog!"
He clenched his fists. If he weren't so well-mannered, he would have punched the waiter in the face by now.
"What else could this be but a mongrel? Sir, please don't make things difficult for me. I'm just following the rules."
"you!"
The dog almost lost control, but Lu Baichuan pulled him back, saying, "I'll take the little cow back. There's no need to let something like this affect your mood."
They came to have fun in a low-key manner, not wanting to use their power to intimidate others. Their main purpose tonight was to meet Mr. Ouyang, and they would tolerate anything else.
"But……"
The dog was a little reluctant to part with her, and the little cow in its arms looked pitiful.
Jiang Jiuniang didn't try to persuade her son, but instead called out to the waiter, "Brother Waiter."
"Damn... Ah! What did you give me to eat?"
As soon as Xiao Er turned around, Jiang Jiu Niang flicked a small pill into his mouth. Before he could react, it dissolved and he vomited it up no matter how much he vomited.
She laughed and said, "This is called 'one-day death,' which means you will die within a day. If you know what's good for you, you'd better lead the way properly. Otherwise, I guarantee you won't see the sun rise tomorrow."
Everyone else was busy rushing in to grab a spot and didn't notice what the family was saying to the waiter, nor did anyone notice the waiter's face turn pale instantly.
The medicine felt cool upon entering his mouth, followed by a stinging sensation that made his throat very uncomfortable. Seeing that the beautiful woman in front of him didn't seem to be lying, he hurriedly nodded repeatedly and respectfully invited her to the private room they had reserved.
"Madam...you..."
Xiao Er had difficulty speaking, so he called out to Jiang Jiu Niang and pointed to his throat, indicating that Jiang Jiu Niang should give him the antidote.
"Don't panic, it hasn't started yet. We'll give it to you after we finish our meal."
The waiter nodded hurriedly, and after they ordered, he closed the door and left.
"Mom, starting tomorrow I'm going to learn poison from you, so that Little Cow won't have to suffer like this when we go out together."
The dog held the calf, its face full of determination.
"It's not that you don't know how, it's just that you're more polite and don't usually resort to violence."
To protect her son, Jiang Jiuniang had given Gou'er some poison on his person. If he really wanted to, he could have used it, but the boy's values were too upright, and he didn't want to use such methods to achieve his goals.
“Son, you must understand that not everyone in this world deserves our respect. This shabby restaurant is incomparable to our family restaurant. If it weren’t for Mr. Ouyang, we wouldn’t have come. But since we’re here, we can’t let it go to waste. If Mr. Ouyang comes out later, let’s find an opportunity to pay him a visit and arrange a time for him to give you some pointers on your studies. That way, our trip won’t have been in vain.”
Jiang Jiuniang is easygoing and doesn't care about details; as long as the goal is achieved, that's all that matters. But Gou'er's personality is more like Lu Baichuan's; he's more upright. She doesn't think being upright is bad, but she feels that sometimes it's okay to be a little flexible.
“Your mother is right, listen to your mother.”
Lu Baichuan rubbed his head, his admiration for his wife rising even higher. He was worried that it would become public knowledge, as it might affect Mr. Ouyang's impression of his son.
These great scholars had eccentric tempers and could easily offend people if they weren't careful, but their wives had a simple and quick way of dealing with them.
"Um!"
The dog nodded.
Jiang Jiuniang said proudly, "Sigh, this family can't do without me!"
Lu Baichuan readily agreed, saying, "Yes, I can't do without you."
Xiangxiang giggled beside them, as if she could understand what the adults were saying.
At this moment, the dog said with some distress, "I used to think it was already too much to divide people into different classes, but I never thought that even a puppy couldn't escape this fate. Little Cow is such a good dog, guarding the house and even saving me, but in these people's eyes, he is just the lowest-class mongrel!"
"It's perfectly normal. These people never appreciate what they have, but instead they praise what others have. Little do they know that their praise is seen as something to be looked down upon by others, and they themselves are also looked down upon. This kind of thinking is too deeply ingrained and cannot be changed overnight. Only when our Northern Yan becomes stronger and enhances the people's confidence will this phenomenon be alleviated."
The dog nodded, agreeing with his father. The root of the problem was the rise of Bei Yan, and he was determined to contribute to Bei Yan's development and use his own strength to vindicate Bei Yan's cats and dogs.
