Chapter 402: Longing for Love (16)
"Okay, thank you very much. Please serve us a few of your signature dishes, a pot of tea, and two plates of snacks."
"Okay, please wait a moment." The waiter took note of Ji Xiao's request and left.
Each private room in this restaurant is separated by a screen. Apart from being able to hear voices, one cannot see people. This ensures good privacy, but it is not overly quiet like in a private room.
Like now, they heard some people in the seats next to them gossiping, "Did you see that?"
B: “What did you see?”
A: "It's the house-sized carriage pulled by four horses that entered the city gate this morning."
B: "I don't know! I didn't go out this morning. I made an appointment with you to have dinner at Fenghualou today, but I didn't go out. How would I know this?"
A: "You didn't see it. That carriage is more exquisite than my house. I don't know which noble family's carriage it belongs to."
B: “That has nothing to do with us!”
A: "Maybe they want to live here with us?"
B: "Which noble family's son would come back to live in our wild mountainous area?"
A: "Don't disbelieve me, I saw a young man coming out to the pawnshop."
B: "It's possible that they are just simply buying property." At this time, B suddenly said in a low voice, "Let's not talk about this. Have you heard about it?"
A also unconsciously moved closer to B and whispered, "What did you hear?"
Although it is said to be soft, it is not that soft. According to Ji Xiao's hearing, it is almost the same as normal speech.
When the waiter brought up snacks and tea, everything was quiet because the mother and daughter were both listening to the gossip of the people around them.
B: "It's the Wang Laosan family next door who is so messy!"
Person A: "What's the matter? Tell me now, you're going to drive me crazy!"
B: “You know.”
A gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll treat you to his best Rouge Wine."
As if afraid that he would regret it, B quickly said, "Then I will drink it next time. Then you can buy it and come to my house. I will make something delicious to go with the wine."
A said unhappily: "Okay, now you can talk!"
"Okay." B paused, probably because he was thirsty after talking too much, so he went to drink some water or wine.
"Then, doesn't Wang Laosan have only one daughter?"
Person A: "I know this, you are talking about something I don't know."
B: "Don't interrupt me, just listen to me."
A gnashed his teeth and said, "Okay, you say."
This time, B nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Didn't his family find a live-in son-in-law? Last night, when I got home from work, I found that I had left the house without my keys, so I planned to climb over the wall to open the door. When I climbed over the wall, don't you know what I saw?
At that time, I felt like my eyes were going blind, it was so shocking and so destructive to my worldview, oh my god~"
At this point, B picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, then he calmed down and continued, "They actually did this... that..."
Person A concluded, "That is: Wang Laosan? His daughter's mother-in-law? His son-in-law? His daughter? His daughter's brother-in-law? His daughter's sister-in-law? Her daughter's wolfhound? Then Wang Laosan, is that right?"
Person B nodded, then shook his head and said, "Well, yes, that's a good summary, it really is..."
Ji Xiao stopped listening to what was said afterwards. She poured herself a cup of tea to moisten her lips. She asked Xiao Yao, who was sitting opposite her, "What do you think?"
Xiaoyao swallowed unconsciously and replied, "It's the first time I've heard it in my life. It's a bit disgusting."
At this time, the waiter just brought their food up. After the waiter left, Ji Xiao said, "What's this? When you hear and see it more often in the future, you won't think it's just a little disgusting.
This is still considered good, at least they are just having an affair behind closed doors and no one knows about it. But even if they do know, it's no big deal, at most one of them won't be able to get married and the other won't be able to find a wife. But it's also good this way, they don't have to harm others and only harm their own family.
Besides, they didn't break the law, they just received some moral condemnation; but for those who can do such things, don't expect them to have any sense of shame or moral bottom line. "
"Oh, then you are..." Xiao Yao asked cautiously.
Ji Xiao didn't answer her directly, but served her a bowl of soup, placed it in front of her and said, "Aren't you hungry? Let's eat!"
Ji Xiao ate the food slowly, looked at the pedestrians outside and said: "When our clinic opens, you will find that this is nothing! So, after a while, I will teach you how to practice, and then you just need to follow me and learn.
After a while, you will naturally know what you need to know. When we go out, your father or brother Xiangliu will cook; when we are at home, there will be servants to cook and clean, and you won’t need to help with anything else.”
"Don't we have any property here yet?"
"So what do you think is the difference between God and man?"
Xiaoyao shook her head in confusion, indicating that she didn't know, but Ji Xiao didn't intend to answer her question.
"Like I said just now, you will know it naturally after a long time."
Xiaoyao nodded bewilderedly, indicating that she understood. Then she hid her doubts in her heart, intending to slowly understand them in the future.
Ji Xiao, who had been looking casually into the distance, did not see Xiang Liu and Fu Shiqi, father and son, outside the restaurant.
However, the father and son, who were extremely sensitive to Ji Xiao's scent, discovered her when they passed by.
The two gave up the idea of going back and walked straight into the restaurant, and went to the second floor under the guidance of the waiter.
After bringing the person there, he left. After all, it was dinner time and his was the only high-end restaurant in town, so the business was really busy.
"Xiaoxiao." Fu Shiqi walked straight to Ji Xiao and sat next to her.
"Mom." Xiangliu sat down in the middle.
"Qi Qi, this is our daughter Xiaoyao; Jiuyao, this is your father, Fu Shiqi. It doesn't matter if you can't call him now, you will get familiar with him after a while. Have a good meal." Ji Xiao first introduced the father and daughter who were meeting for the first time, and at the same time comforted the nervous Xiaoyao.
Then, he looked at him and asked, "Is it done?"
"Well, don't worry, I'll do the work. I've asked Xiaohong and the others to clean and set up the clinic. The clinic is open for treatment at any time. It's just that the medicinal materials I have are not as complete as yours. I'll just wait for you to get them."
"What's the environment like this time?"
"The clinic is two streets behind this restaurant, in the same district as our house, in the West District.
However, there was a pond at the doorstep of our house, and I saw that it was running water, so I bought all the water within a hundred miles around it;
The house is not very good, so I asked Xiaohong to take people to tear it down, and then we can move in there after we build our own house.”
