The young man stopped, turned around, and led them into a restaurant.
"When it comes to food, we should try some of our local specialties. This restaurant is the most bustling and prosperous in our area, and the food is the most delicious."
"Oh my! A VIP has arrived!" Before I could even say I wanted to eat, the waiter started calling out to the back of the restaurant.
The waiter rubbed his hands excitedly, looked at Lin Ziwen, and then at Su Lixia: "May I ask who your distinguished guests are?"
Lin Ziwen nodded and smiled, saying, "Two tables will suffice, and a private room would be best if available."
The waiter smiled apologetically: "There are no private rooms available at the moment, but there are some elegant seats upstairs that we can arrange for you to sit at two tables."
Lin Ziwen nodded and said, "Arrange two tables, not too far apart."
"Alright! Two private seats upstairs!"
After the waiter led them upstairs, he asked them what they would like to eat.
"Thank you for your trouble, young man. We can handle the rest ourselves. The private rooms over there are reserved for them. You can come with us. Order whatever you want to eat and drink. It's on me."
Lin Ziwen took out a fan at some point, opened it, and fanned himself back and forth in front of his heart.
"Thank you, young master." So the group sat down.
"Miss?" Xiaolian stood to the side, not too happy to sit with those men.
"Please sit here," Su Lixia gestured.
"Okay!" Xiaolian sat down excitedly.
After they finished talking, the waiter asked, "What would you gentlemen like to eat?"
"What would you like to eat, little sister?" Lin Ziwen asked.
Su Lixia shook her head and said, "I don't know either. Every day at home, the dishes I eat are different, except for the ones I like. I'm afraid I've eaten the same dishes at this restaurant."
Upon hearing this, the waiter smiled and said, "Don't worry, miss. Although our dishes are local, the taste is absolutely superb. In addition, we have developed our own new cuisine and improved the way we cook the old dishes. It is definitely unique. You can tell how popular it is by looking at the number of people coming and going."
"Hmm, in that case, I'll see what you think is best."
Lin Ziwen nodded and said, "Alright, let's bring out your restaurant's signature dishes and a pot of mild, non-irritating wine."
"Alright!" The waiter happily went off.
After the waiter left, Su Lixia rested her chin on her hand and looked at the private room diagonally in front of her, which was the table of the tour guide they had found.
Su Lixia sighed softly. Seeing this, Lin Ziwen followed her gaze.
He chuckled and asked, "What has the princess noticed?"
The other party had already served ready-made dishes: peanuts, braised pig's trotters, sliced beef, and wine. The group chatted and laughed.
"They're not here to show us around. It's obvious they know that little guard. They're just taking the opportunity to eat and drink to their hearts' content. Watching them chat and laugh, they seem really comfortable."
Lin Ziwen smiled and said, "I heard that the guards are all chosen by noble young men. The two who are following the princess, although they are not of high rank, must come from good families to be able to serve you, princess."
Hearing this, Su Lixia nodded and said, "That makes sense, that makes sense. Now that you mention it, it's true. So what?"
Lin Ziwen gestured for Su Lixia to take another look at the tour guide and said, "If you know him, he should be from a humble family, as you can tell from his simple clothes. However, there are indeed such friends. What the princess should be careful about is that this person may have done something that could lead to financial ruin, and those two are doing the same thing."
Su Lixia scratched her head, realizing she didn't really want to know so much, so she replied perfunctorily, "Haha, Young Master's analysis is indeed very insightful."
