Enter Chang Xiangsi and help Jingzhai fight

Chapter 31 Staying in the hotel

The carriage stopped and started, and then went back a bit, and finally stopped at a less crowded place. Yu Xin whispered, "Sir, I think this place is not the most luxurious, but the front is clean, and it is not the largest store. I think it is more suitable for us. What do you think?"

Tu Shanjing took out a few bamboo hats and distributed them to us, and said, "Here it is."

Mori Ying wore a veiled hat and got out of the car gracefully, holding the curtain with her hands. Xiao Wei had a small head, and the veiled hat was a little big on her head, so it was wobbly, and Xiao Hui hurried behind her to help her hold it up, so that it didn't fall to the ground.

I leaned against the carriage frame and rubbed against the door in an ungracious manner. I felt the pain in my thighs. When I got off the carriage, I stretched it a little and let out a hiss. Tu Shanjing also wore a white gauze hat and stepped off the carriage neatly. Her red lips and jade face were dimly visible behind the gauze curtain, but it added a touch of ethereal air. With her tall and graceful figure, she looked even more extraordinary, like a pearl that could not be abandoned.

Two smart waiters had already come up to him and asked Yu Xin if he wanted to stay in the first-class room. Yu Xin stroked his beard and said, "We are a small family, so four second-class rooms will do."

The waiter was stunned and said with a smile, "You are joking. You are so elegant and your young masters and young ladies are so elegant. You must be from a wealthy family. How can you stay in a second-class room? Besides, with so many people here, it would be spacious if each of them could sleep in a room, right?"

Yu Xin laughed: "It was fine in the past, but now the business has gone bankrupt! There are only these two carriages and a few bags of clothes left, and the servants have to take turns to watch over us at night. Otherwise, we can't go back home, and we will starve to death without money!"

The waiter smiled, his courtesy reduced by half, and he just bowed and said, "Then please come this way!"

We followed him into the store, and Ruiyang and Youzi led the carriage and followed another waiter to water the horses.

Although the store is not big, it is cleaned just as Yu Xin said. Tu Shanjing sat down at a square table in the corner, while Senying, Yu Xin and Xiaohui went to another table. I was about to lead Xiaowei over when Tu Shanjing grabbed me and said, "Madam, where are you going?"

I was shocked and trembled all over. We had just been joking about this setting before, but I didn't expect it to be so shocking when he said it seriously.

I responded softly and sat down restlessly, not knowing where to put my hands and feet. I just kept playing with the hem of the gauze curtain, rubbing it around and around.

Tu Shanjing chuckled and took off his white gauze hat. I sat next to him and saw his profile from a close distance. On weekdays, there were many people in the mansion, and they often came and went in a hurry. I didn't dare to look at them for too long, for fear of gossip.

As far as the eye can see, his eyebrows are almost in the temples, and further down, his willow-shaped eyes are lowered as he reads the menu, which hide his usual intelligence and leave only peace. His double eyelids are narrow inside and wide outside. When he opens his eyes normally, because the back half has a slightly drooping arc, you can't see the sharpness of the corners of his eyes, but just feel gentle. But now when he looks down, the tail of his eyes is obviously raised, which makes him look distant and noble. Looking down along his smooth straight nose, he can see his slightly opened light red lips, which are of moderate thickness. It is said that such people are affectionate and righteous.

I suddenly discovered that there was a light-colored mole near his jaw angle, which was usually not visible from a distance, but now it was clearly visible from this close distance, making it more delicate. I was slightly surprised, as if I had discovered a hidden treasure.

Maybe I stared at him for too long, he noticed it and turned to look at me with a searching look. My face turned red and I lowered my head quickly, fortunately I was covered by the veil so I was not exposed.

My stomach growled at the right time, not too loud or too soft, just enough for him to hear. I blushed. He smiled and said, "Are you hungry? How about we order sweet and sour carp, cold bamboo shoots, glutinous rice and chicken, stir-fried vegetables with dried tofu, and three bowls of noodles with gravy?"

I nodded and replied, "I will do whatever you say, sir."

So he called the waiter, ordered the dishes, and added an extra plate of stir-fried beef for Yu Xin's table, and ordered two plates of braised beef in soy sauce and two plates of scallion pancakes to send to Ruiyang and You.

I heard the ladies at the next table whispering to each other. I didn't pay much attention to it at first. I took off my veil hat and waited for dinner. I didn't expect that after taking it off, their whispers turned into open language and drilled into my ears: "I thought a man like me would have a very attractive wife, but I didn't expect it to be just like this! The eyes are too round and lack charm, the nose is too small and not straight enough, and the skin is just a little white!"

I turned my head and saw two women wearing bright pink satin gowns, red velvet flowers on their heads, heavily made up, talking with their mouths covered. When they caught my gaze, they looked straight at me, but after a while, they both blushed, lowered their heads and kept silent.

I turned around and saw Jing also looking at them, expressionless and intimidating. I couldn't help but feel happy, it feels good to have someone's support!

At this time, the waiter had already served the dishes. I saw that the glutinous rice chicken was still steaming hot, so I quickly peeled one for him and put it on the plate, saying softly, "Young Master, please put away your magical powers and eat it while it's hot."

Tu Shanjing lowered his head and smiled at me. He picked up the chopsticks with his slender fingers, poked the glutinous rice, picked out the chicken and took a bite. I saw that the sweet and sour carp was bright red and looked good, so I took a chopstick. I didn't expect it to taste a bit dry and fishy. I couldn't spit it out in front of everyone, so I had to force myself to swallow it.

The fishy smell lingered for a long time, and I lost my appetite a little. I ate some light vegetables and a few mouthfuls of salty noodles, and then put down my chopsticks. Seeing this, Tu Shanjing picked up a glutinous rice chicken for me and whispered, "Eat more."

I quickly ate the glutinous rice chicken. Although the taste was just average, it was already considered the best meal of the day. I finally understood why this restaurant was so clean and the food inside was quite new, but why there were so few customers. With such a chef, not to mention Madam Li in the small kitchen of Tushan Mansion, even the maids who cleaned the house would probably cook better than him.

I drank a lot of water and watched Yu Xin and Xiao Hui eat like mad, not picky eaters. But Sen Ying and Xiao Wei were just like me, picking at the noodles with their chopsticks but unable to put them into their mouths. Tu Shan Jing beside me soon put down his chopsticks as well, and I saw that besides the glutinous rice and chicken, there were indeed some fish and noodles left.

Yu Xin burped, glanced at us, and called the waiter to settle the bill. The waiter took a nice tip, smiled nicely, and led us to the four rooms at the end of the third floor, then ran downstairs. I thought about it over and over again, but didn't know where to stay, so I stopped and waited for arrangements.
