Chapter 514: Chapter 5U- This Face Is Too Scary
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After the waiter went to the kitchen and reported the dishes, he came out with a pot of jasmine tea. When he saw that the man was still standing at the counter, he enthusiastically brought it over to him.
“Sorry to trouble you, sir, to stand and drink tea.
The man stood there coldly without saying a word. His eyes did not look at the
tea tray and bowl as he continued to look upstairs.
Seeing that the man kept looking upstairs, the waiter thought that he wanted
to go upstairs, so he said apologetically,
“There’s no more space upstairs. Please forgive me.
The man still did not answer. He maintained his posture like an ice sculpture, causing the worker to follow his gaze upstairs. There was nothing. What was this person looking at?
When the shop assistant turned around, he was so frightened by the man s appearance that his entire body trembled. Oh my god, this face was too scary.
The waiter regretted this. Curiosity killed the cat. He would have nightmares just by looking at this face!
Sensing that the waiter had seen his face, the man hurriedly lowered his head and covered his face with a huge cloak.
There were more guests upstairs than downstairs, and they were more well-dressed. When they saw Su Qing and Xiaoying go upstairs, someone recognized them and hurriedly stood up to greet them.
Su Qing only glanced at them and followed the waiter into the private room with a cold expression.
The private room was tranquil as if it had blocked out the noise from outside. They saw a painting of pine and bamboo trees with long green leaves when they entered. The tables and chairs were also much more high-grade than outside. The tables and chairs were exquisite and carved from sour jujube wood.
Su Qing didn’t have many requirements for the dining environment, but she had high requirements for the food quality. She listened to the shopkeeper’s list of dishes and said nothing. After the shopkeeper finished listing the dishes,
she asked,
“One braised bear paw, steamed fish, and vegetarian dishes. Go and prepare!”
The owner would only give out the bear paw when a distinguished guest came. The bear paw was too precious, and too few hunters could kill bears. The bear paw sent over was also at a sky-high price, and ordinary people could not afford it. However, the young master’s wife had plenty of money. The winery’s chimney could produce ten thousand taels of gold.
“Yes, I’ll go and prepare it now.”
Hearing that Su Qing had ordered the bear paw, the shopkeeper’s face turned into a flower with a smile. He bowed and retreated out of the private room.
Seeing that Xiaoying still looked lonely, Su Qing smiled.
“Eat more. You’ll have the strength to think when you’re full.”
Xiaoying saw that Su Qing was so friendly and gentle to her, and the little girl was even more reluctant to leave her sister-in-law. She leaned her head on Su
Qing’s shoulder and said faintly,
“Sister-in-law, I won’t marry anyone for the rest of my life. I’ll stay by your
side, okay?”
“Sure, I have no objections.”
Su Qing smiled. This was precisely what she wanted. She couldn’t bear to part with this sister of hers either. Even if Xiaoying didn’t get married, she and Shuisheng could still afford to raise her.
When Xiaoying heard that her sister-in-law had agreed, she held her arm. Yelu Chun’s deep, affectionate eyes appeared in front of her. She closed her eyes in confusion. She didn’t want to think about it anymore, but why did her heart hurt so much?
Xiaoying couldn’t help but cover her chest. Su Qing knew she couldn’t keep her longer when he saw her actions. She brushed Xiaoying’s waterfall-like black hair with her hand and said to her in an old mother’s tone,
“Forget it. If you want to see us, just send a letter, and your big brother and I will come and see you.”
“Really? Can you come to see me?”
Xiaoying’s dim eyes lit up immediately. This way, there was no need to be conflicted anymore. Otherwise, she would feel like crying just thinking about not being able to see her brother and sister-in-law for the rest of her hfe.
“Of course, we would come on horseback for a vacation.
Su Qing saw Xiaoying’s smile. In her previous life, she was only focused on fighting and killing people and wasn’t in the mood to travel. After she and X>ao Zeyu conquer the world and bring peace to the four seas, it will be time for them to enjoy life. When the time comes, they could get a carriage and travel worldwide. Just thinking about it was a delightful life.
“Traveling?”
Xiaoying had never heard of this term before. She blinked her bright black eyes and looked at her sister-in-law in confusion.
Su Qing smiled. How could she say modern words to the ancients? She told
Xiaoying in a plain tone,
“Just playing around.”
Xiaoying smiled and regained her usual liveliness. She clapped her hands and said excitedly to Su Qing.
“Oh, oh, that’s good. I’ll ask the Third Prince to bring me around to play.”
“You hate to get married so much!”
Su Qing teased her sister-in-law. When she mentioned the Third Prince, her eyes lit up, and her eyes were filled with the first awakening of love. Obviously, she had already made a decision in her heart, but she was conflicted that she would never see her and Shuisheng again.
“Sister-in-law.”
Xiaoying’s face turned red as she coquettishly called her sister-in-law. Her eyes were bright as she smiled shyly.
The shopkeeper came up from downstairs with an exquisite tea tray. As soon as he entered the private room, he smiled.
“Young Madam, please try the Pu’er tea of our store.
“Pu’er tea?”
Su Qing raised her eyebrows. This tea was from Yunnan. He remembered that Yunnan had specially built a mountain road to transport the tea leaves out to the outside world. It was called the Tea Horse Ancient Road!
Was there an ancient tea horse road now? Otherwise, how could there be Pu’er tea?
“Where did this tea come from?”
Su Qing took a sip of tea and liked the teacup very much. The tiny teacup with blue flowers was antique and artistic. The tea was golden and had a sweet aftertaste.
The shopkeeper smiled and said,
“Young Madam, this tea was brought to me by a relative of the owner. It comes from western Yunnan. The older the Pu’er tea, the better it tastes and is more precious.”
“Is that so? It’s far enough.”
Su Qing nodded. This tea was costly.
It was not easy for the ancients. It would take a few days to travel from one city to another, and it would be dizzy to ride a carriage. It would take one to two months to transport some goods and another one to two months to go back. The horse caravan spent almost half a year on the road, which was tiring and dangerous.
“That’s right. This tea came from afar, so our boss treats it like a treasure. If it weren’t for Madam coming, he wouldn’t be willing to bring it out.
The shopkeeper put in a good word for his boss so that Su Qing would have a good impression of his boss so that he could take care of him in the future.
“Alright.”
Su Qing nodded to show that she understood. Her expression became indifferent, and she no longer looked at the shopkeeper.
When the shopkeeper saw Su Qing’s expression turn cold, he knew he had said something wrong. The Young Mistress was angry that he had bought it.
All nobles had their temperaments. Some things really couldn’t be said. The shopkeeper bowed and retreated, not daring to say any more nonsense.
“Sister-in-law, this tea is very delicious!”
Xiaoying took a sip and tasted it. The taste of the tea was bitter at first, then sweet. The fragrance of the tea was powerful. It was delicious.
“Do you like it?”
Su Qing saw that Xiaoying liked to drink this tea and asked if she wanted to send someone to Dianxi to buy more Pu’er tea for Xiaoying’s dowry so that she could drink the tea she liked in Tartan.
Anyway, Pu ‘er tea was not like other tea leaves. Old tea was not good to drink. The darker the Pu’ er tea was, the stronger the taste.
“Yes.” Xiaoying nodded honestly. She didn’t know that her sister-in-law had already decided to buy her a cart as a dowry.
Downstairs, the waiter wrapped the thing the ugly man wanted in oil paper and handed it to him. “Sir, your things are all here.”
That man was so strange. He didn’t even drink the tea or sit down. He just stood there and stared at the stairs in a daze..
