A car accident, our family of three crossed

Chapter 254: Just for Showing Attention

Zui Xiang Ju, like Ju Bao Ge, is also an asset of the Rui Wang Mansion. However, not many people know about it. Even the proprietress and the young master of Zui Xiang Ju do not know the ins and outs behind it.

As soon as I arrived at Zui Xiang Ju, I happened to meet the shopkeeper Liu of Zui Xiang Ju. "Hey! Isn't this Mr. Zhou and Mr. Hang? What brought you two here?"

"Shopkeeper Liu." Zhou Ting said with a smile, "I didn't eat enough at the banquet yesterday, so I came here today to taste it again."

These words greatly pleased Shopkeeper Liu, "Okay, okay, you guys can eat as much as you want today. I'll be your host."

"That's not necessary. Today my sister and I are hosting Hang Tongsheng and his family for tea. If we let you host, we would be embarrassed." Zhou Ting explained with a smile, and Zhou Ru nodded in agreement.

"In that case, I won't waste any more time. Enjoy your meal and drinks." After saying that, he looked at Hang Shuheng meaningfully, then called the waiter and ordered, "Take these distinguished guests to the private room on the second floor."

As both families work for the same master, on the surface they do not have much interaction. However, privately, Shopkeeper Liu and the Zhou father and son are naturally familiar with each other.

In Pingyang County, although the two families each manage their own businesses, if something happens, Zhou Huan has far more power than others. If there is something to report to the master, the message must also be passed through Zhou Huan.

Shopkeeper Liu knew Zhou Huan's character quite well. He knew that he would never make friends with others easily. He did not quite understand why Hang Shuheng was invited to Zhou Huan's birthday party.

Now that he saw Zhou Huan's eldest son being close to Hang Shuheng, he had no idea what Zhou Huan was up to. He was just a country scholar, so what was the big deal?

Even if he is good at studying, there are many good people in the world. Why bother spending time on this country scholar?

He had discussed this privately with the shopkeeper Lu of Wanjuan Bookstore, but that guy respected scholars all his life and had a very high opinion of this Hang Tongsheng, which resulted in them being unable to continue their conversation.

The waiter of Zuixiangju led a few people to a private room along the street. The room had plenty of light and a wide view. With the windows open, they could see the scene on the street.

Zhou Ru and Song Ning took Yang Yang and ran to the window impatiently, looking at the hustle and bustle on the street outside.

Song Ning said with emotion: "I didn't expect that looking down from a high place, this street scene has a different flavor."

"Yeah! It's quite lively."

"Mom, I want to see it too. I want to see it too." Yangyang kicked up his short legs and asked Song Ning to hold him up so that he could see it.

"Okay, okay, mommy will hold you." Song Ning said, bending down to pick up the little guy so that he could also see the street view downstairs.

They were only focused on the bustling atmosphere along the street and did not notice that in a teahouse across the street, Cao Qianyu and her servant were in a private room, looking at them with resentful eyes.

Cao Qianyu's good mood disappeared when she saw the two of them. She slammed her teacup on the table and said, "I didn't check the almanac before going out. What a disappointment."

She had not forgotten the humiliation they had inflicted on her yesterday, and she secretly swore in her heart that she would find an opportunity to get back at them.

The maid Xiaorou also noticed the two people opposite and sneered, "Miss, don't be angry. It's not worth getting angry over that kind of people. One of them is a lowly merchant's daughter, and the other is a vulgar country woman. How can they compare with you!"

This bunch of flattery pleased Cao Qianyu to a great extent. Her expression relaxed. When she first saw the two people opposite her, she had planned to leave directly, but now she was not in a hurry to leave.

"Miss, I heard that the Treasure Pavilion is packed with people today. I don't know where they got so many styles. They really stole the limelight." Xiaorou said in a sour tone: "I don't know what those ladies are thinking. What's so good about those things?"

She would never admit that she also thought those jewelries were very beautiful, but as a maid, she could not afford them at all.

"Hmph! They are just trying to attract attention." Cao Qianyu's mood suddenly became bad again. She was humiliated in Zhou's house yesterday, and there was no way she would give money to them to earn money.

Besides, she would not let anyone know that she had limited money, not even enough to pay the deposit, let alone buy it. This was a fact that she could not change no matter how many times she cursed the profiteers in her heart. She was even more unwilling to face such a fact, and could only keep telling herself that she didn't like those styles at all.

In the private room across the street, Hang Shuheng and Zhou Ting ordered some cakes and snacks that they had not eaten at yesterday's banquet, and called the three people who were watching the fun by the window to come in.

"Let's go, Yangyang, let's go eat something delicious." Zhou Ru took Yangyang from Song Ning's arms and went back to the table first.

Tea and snacks were served. Zhou Ru turned into a feeding machine. After Yang Yang finished a piece, she handed him another piece. This went on and on until Yang Yang finished several pieces of cake. He finally retorted, "Auntie Ru Ru, do you want to stuff Yang Yang to death?"

"No, how could that be? Auntie can't wait to love Yangyang!"

"Then you keep feeding me. I'm almost full."

"I'm sorry, Yangyang, auntie didn't know. Let's not eat anymore. Let's take a break and drink some water." Zhou Ru was a little embarrassed. She saw the little guy eating so happily that she didn't notice and fed him a little too much. She quickly tried to coax him to drink water.

The other three looked at them and couldn't help laughing, but Yangyang said, "Dad, Mom, if we can't finish the food later, can we pack it up? I want to take it to my brother Xiaobao."

Song Ning smiled and said, "Dad doesn't have the final say, and mom doesn't have the final say either. Whoever pays the bill has the final say! You have to ask Uncle Zhou."

Yang Yang turned his gaze to Zhou Ting and asked softly, "Uncle, is it okay?"

"Of course you can, Yangyang, you can take as much as you want. Just ask someone to bring it up again. If you can't finish it, just forget it." Who can refuse such a cute little baby? Zhou Ting couldn't help but raised his hand and rubbed Yangyang's little head. He had wanted to do this for a long time.

"That won't work!" Yang Yang shook his head and said, "You can't waste it. Mother said that waste is shameful."

Zhou Ting paused, then laughed happily, "Okay, okay, you have the final say, I'll listen to you, okay?"

"Brother Shuheng, sister-in-law, you have taught this child very well."

Zhou Ru said, "Brother, am I right? Yangyang knows a lot. Don't underestimate him because he is young. He even knows some pharmacology!"

"The child is so young, but he already knows pharmacology?" Zhou Ting asked Hang Shuheng and his wife in surprise, "Could it be that the child is studying medicine?"

"Not really." Song Ning said with a smile, "He has just been playing around with an old man recently. He's just a kid! I don't know if he was just acting on impulse, and it's hard to say what he will do in the future!"

"I think Yangyang is a smart kid. If he is willing to learn, it would not be bad for him to have medical skills to protect himself in the future." Zhou Ting made an objective suggestion, his eyes flickering slightly at an angle that no one else could see.
