Farmer Lady of Fortune, Imperial Concubine, Don't Be Too Sweet

134

"No … if worse comes to worst, I'll just go buy a private house!"

Liu Yusheng sighed. She stretched out her hand and lifted the carriage curtain to look at the three people bickering. "Let's go and ask first. If we really can't book an inn, see if the surrounding homes can provide accommodation. We'll just pay them money."

"Yes, that's a good idea!" Qian Wanjin was relieved. Fortunately, Lucky Nannan wasn't angry with him. Otherwise, if he talked to her family later, he would really become an unreliable person in Grandma Liu's eyes.

Providence indeed wouldn't let down a man who did his best. Qian Wanjin finally booked two rooms. Upon receiving the room numbers, he almost cried tears of joy.

"Lucky Nannan, I booked-I booked-I booked!" The man raised the room number in his hand and ran towards the girl standing beside the street, shouting excitedly as he did so, "Lucky Nannan! I told you, you've got to trust me, right?"

In one of the carriages that passed by the girl on the street, someone went stiff and his blood flowed backwards.

"Stop the carriage!"

The carriage was fast, and even after heeding his order, it had already driven a good distance away.

"Imperial Uncle, what's the matter?" the boy's voice tensed. He has never seen his uncle display such emotions, elation mixed with fury written all over his face.

The man sat like a wooden sculpture, staring blankly into space. It wasn't until he heard another "Lucky Nannan" ringing out outside, that he seemed to wake up with a start.

He raised his hand and slowly leaned towards the curtain. He didn't dare hurry in fear of seeing nothing.

When his fingertips touched the curtain, he quickly drew it open. He dared not delay for fear that it would be too late for him to see the person outside.

Through the narrow window, his eyes froze sideways back and almost greedily fell on that smiling, winsome face, while everything around her faded as a foil.

She was wearing a pink and green dress, quietly elegant and fresh as jasmine in the morning light. The shallow arcs of her beautiful smiling eyes were just like before, totally infectious.

Her porcelain-white skin was almost transparent and tender under the sunlight.

A lift and a drop of her eyelids were evocative.

The little baby in his memory has grown up and looked like this.

He had pictured countless times in his mind what she would look like when she grew up, but all were far from the half-hearted vividness of her in front of him.

"Master?" Wei Zi also recognized the young girl at this point. Who else but the one from the Xinghua Village could make the Master react so strongly?

It was just a chance encounter under the circumstances.

Five fingers snapped hard against the carriage wall. "Go!" The curtains dropped and the man forced himself to cut off his vision, leaning against the carriage and closing his eyes.

If he continued to watch, he was afraid he would lose control of his impulses and drag her to him and into his world.

On the street, Liu Yusheng looked around suspiciously.

"What's going on?"

"Nothing," she shook her head. It was so strange. A felt a sudden feeling of being stared at just now. It might be her who was too sensitive. People were rushing here and there on the street. Who would stare at a young girl like her?

"Let's wait here for a while. We'll enter the inn when both Da Huang and Aunt Hong are here."

Liu Yusheng nodded. The three of them had split up to check out the inns while she was left behind to watch the carriage. It was still early anyway, so they could go in together when they rejoined.

When the sun was a setting a bit westward, Da Huang and Wei Hong returned, both with drooping shoulders and lifeless.

"Young Master, you might really have to buy a private residence."

Qian Wanjin cheerfully took out the two plaques from his bosom and shook them in front of their eyes. "Did you say I, Young Master Qian, can't do anything out on my own? Come with me!"

"There's a room!" Da Huang's eyes brightened up, his exhaustion gone in an instant. "Young Master, you should have said so earlier. You still have to poke fun on us!"

Two people squeezing in a room was better than sleeping on the street at night.

The four of them walked into the inn, but before they could yell at the waiter to take them upstairs, the shopkeeper came running over apologetically.

"Guests, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. The steward who stood at the counter didn't get it right. The remaining two rooms that had been booked and the occupants just didn't take their room numbers away yet. I'm sorry, it's our negligence."

"No, what do you mean?" Qian Wanjin was a bit dumbfounded and held up the room numbers. "Do you mean to tell me that these two rooms I have were already booked? Someone else reserved it, yet you rebooked them to me? Are you trying to fool me, afraid that I don't have the silver to pay?!"
