Lin Jiuyue smiled and patted Xiyue's shoulder.
"What are you afraid of? We're going to the night market. The lighting there is so dim, it's impossible for those people to stare at our faces closely, right?"
Xiyue nodded.
"Then, miss, shall we go after dark?"
Lin Jiuyue snapped his fingers.
"No, go now."
If I wait for dark in this room, how boring would the days of waiting be?
Instead of sitting in this room and being in a daze, you might as well go out for a walk.
When Xiyue heard Lin Jiuyue say that they were going out now, she became extremely nervous.
"Don't be afraid. Just treat it as a normal shopping trip and don't worry too much about your appearance."
Xiyue took a deep breath and nodded.
"I understand, miss."
After opening the door, Lin Jiuyue walked out of the inn with Xiyue in a swagger.
The innkeeper frowned when he saw the two people coming down from the second floor.
I wondered when two young men like this started living on the second floor.
As he thought about it, he shook his head and muttered to himself.
"Alas, I am really going backwards as I grow older."
After leaving the inn, Lin Jiuyue took Xiyue to find a teahouse, where they drank tea while listening to the storyteller's book and occasionally ate a few sunflower seeds.
Xiyue was not as leisurely as Lin Jiuyue. She was always thinking about going to the night market.
"Miss, it's getting dark outside. Should we go?"
Lin Jiuyue looked at the stage. The storyteller had been talking for quite some time. She didn't know what was going on with his voice. He had been talking for so long but his voice didn't seem hoarse at all.
"Alas, if I hadn't planned to go to the night market today, your lady would still want to listen here."
The things this storyteller said are similar to the novels of the 21st century.
However, what is called storytelling here is called listening to novels in the 21st century.
The difference between them is that one can only be heard in person, while the other can be heard on a mobile phone.
Xiyue: ...
"Come on, I'm going to take you out to see the world today and see what the night market in the capital is like."
Hearing Lin Jiuyue blurt out the three words "this young master", Xiyue was full of admiration.
I've been with the young lady for so long, but I'm still not used to the identity of a 'man'.
My young lady has regarded herself as a 'man' since she came out. I don't know how she did it.
The two left the teahouse and strolled through the streets of the capital.
At night in Beijing, many shops are closed, and only one or two shops on the street near the night market are still open.
Seeing this, Lin Jiuyue shook her head.
If this happened in the 21st century, there would still be many shops open at this time.
Even in the middle of the night, there are still many shops open for business.
"Young Master, is that the night market ahead?"
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
"Yes, the lights in the night market are brighter than those on other streets."
The night market is mainly for visitors. If it is during festivals, there will be even more people than now.
"Sir, there are so many people here, and there are so many vendors selling things. It's so lively."
Xiyue had never seen such a scene before. It was her first time seeing it and it was extremely strange.
Lin Jiuyue's folding fan snapped open. He fanned it in front of him in a pretentious manner and spoke.
"I've told you before that the night market in the capital is incredibly lively, but you didn't believe it. Do you believe it now?"
Xiyue nodded happily.
"Sir, you really didn't lie to me. The night market in the capital city is really bustling."
The two were walking and talking when they suddenly heard someone sneer beside them.
"Where did this country bumpkin come from? He looks like he's never seen the world. He's not afraid of being laughed at."
When Xiyue heard this, she immediately stopped talking.
Lin Jiuyue frowned and turned to look at the woman who spoke.
"Miss, your words are a bit harsh."
The woman snorted coldly.
"Hmph, there's a saying that goes 'they talk loudly but their reasoning is not loud. You guys are from the countryside, so why don't you let people talk?"
Lin Jiuyue: ...
What's wrong with people from the countryside? They can't come to the night market in the capital? Shouldn't the laws of Nanyue have such a provision?
"Miss, I'd like to ask, does the law of Nanyue prohibit people from the countryside from visiting night markets?"
After hearing this, the woman was stunned for a moment, then spoke.
"The laws of Nanyue do not have such provisions..."
Before the woman finished speaking, Lin Jiuyue took over the conversation.
"Since the law doesn't stipulate this, then what are you talking about? Do you think your words are more effective than the law?"
woman:……
"How can you talk like that? You have no dignity at all."
Lin Jiuyue was confused.
What's wrong with saying that? Wasn't she the one who looked down on me, the country folk, first? Every time I refuted her, it was like I was bullying her.
Could it be that all the noble ladies in the capital were like this? They only allowed her to criticize others, but not others to talk back? Who spoiled her?
"This young master always speaks like this, saying what he wants to say to whomever he wants."
After Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, he glanced at the woman in front of him with disdain.
"As for you, you are only worthy of this young master saying these words."
The woman was extremely angry when she heard what Lin Jiuyue said.
"You, where are you from? How dare you speak to me like that? Do you know who I am?"
Lin Jiuyue shook her head seriously.
"I don't know, and I'm not interested in knowing."
The woman became even more angry after hearing this.
"How dare you, you country bumpkins, talk back to me? Luyuan, tell these two country bumpkins who I am."
As soon as the woman finished speaking, a person dressed as a maid stood out from behind her.
"Listen up, you two country bumpkins! My young lady is the general's cousin! The mistress of the general's mansion is my young lady's aunt!"
Lin Jiuyue was stunned for a moment when she heard the person opposite introduce himself as a relative of the general's mansion.
"The General's Mansion you're talking about is it the National Guard General's Mansion? The Gu family?"
When the maid heard Lin Jiuyue's words, she thought that Lin Jiuyue was frightened by the reputation of the General's Mansion. She raised her chin and continued with a smug look.
"Are you scared now? The General Guarding the Nation fought on the battlefield with the late emperor, and his title was bestowed upon him personally. You country bumpkins probably don't even know what a general's mansion looks like, right?"
Lin Jiuyue: ...
Can I say that I just came out of the general's mansion?
"I'm not afraid, but does Madam Gu know that you are ruining the reputation of the General's Mansion like this?"
The woman didn't expect that Lin Jiuyue was not afraid at all, and even had the audacity to teach her own lady a lesson. She was so angry that her lungs almost exploded.
