"Hey, where did this beautiful young lady come from? I haven't seen her before." A dandy young man dressed luxuriously and waving a fan saw Xu Shichu under the peach tree, and he couldn't help but walk over and stare at Xu Shichu.
Just when they got within ten feet of Xu Shichu, several burly guards suddenly appeared around Xu Shichu, pointing their swords at the dandy who was about to come forward to tease Xu Shichu.
The dandy young master was startled when he saw this. His mind, which had been confused by Xu Shichu's beauty, finally cleared up a little. He raised his hand awkwardly and said, "I don't mean anything else. I just saw that you look unfamiliar to me, Madam. I guess you are not from here. I happen to know a lot about this place. If Madam needs it, I can show my hospitality as a host and introduce you to some fun places in this city."
Although Xu Shichu saw that he looked like a dandy and unruly man, his eyes were clear. He was just embarrassed when he was stopped by the guards, but he did not get angry or bully others. It can be seen that he is not a frivolous and evil person. He is probably just a face-obsessed person.
"Are you a local?" Xu Shichu asked him, "Then you must know which restaurant has the best food?"
Seeing that the beauty actually asked him, the dandy young man was immediately excited and patted his chest and said, "Of course I know! The food at Zhenweilou is the best. The gourmets in the city love to go there. You can't go wrong by listening to my introduction!"
"Then could this gentleman please lead the way?" Xu Shichu asked with a smile.
"Of course! My surname is Hu, and my given name is Yunzhi. Madam, you can just call me by my name. No need to be so polite." When Hu Yunzhi saw Xu Shichu's smile, which was brighter than the peach blossoms on the tree above her head, his heart skipped a beat.
"Then please let Mr. Hu lead the way." Xu Shichu pulled Xiao Zhaozhao and signaled Hu Yunzhi to lead the way.
Hu Yunzhi immediately led his people to Zhenweilou and introduced the city to Xu Shichu: "The most beautiful and famous scenery in our city is the cherry blossom forest on Fosheng Mountain. March is the best time to enjoy the cherry blossoms. Madam, you have come at the right time to enjoy the magnificent scenery here.
I saw Madam was admiring the peach blossoms just now, so you are a flower lover. I can guarantee that after Madam sees the cherry blossom forest at Fosheng Mountain, this trip will definitely be worthwhile…”
Hu Yunzhi was a chatterbox and very outgoing. In front of Xu Shichu, he wanted to pour out all the knowledge in his head and spared no effort to introduce the places in the city to Xu Shichu, for fear that he would not be able to attract her to stay.
Xu Shichu originally wanted to travel here, and now that Hu Yunzhi volunteered to be her tour guide, she naturally would not refuse, so she asked him questions from time to time, and was obviously very interested in the places he introduced, so Hu Yunzhi talked even more excitedly.
They soon arrived at Zhenweilou. Hu Yunzhi led Xu Shichu and his group inside. Immediately, a sharp-eyed waiter came up to greet them: "Mr. Hu, you are here. How many people are there today? Where would you like to sit?"
"I am inviting distinguished guests today, so let's find a quiet private room. As for how many people are there? Can't you see? By the way, serve me all those signature dishes..." Hu Yunzhi was obviously used to coming here, and he gave orders as he walked forward.
But when he mentioned the signature dishes, he remembered that today they were going to let the guests order the dishes, so he said to Xu Shichu embarrassedly: "Madam, you can order some of your favorite dishes later. The signature dishes of Zhenweilou are quite authentic. Madam, you may want to try them. Of course, if you don't like any of them, you can tell the name of the dish and let the chef make it..."
Seeing Hu Yunzhi being so attentive to this unfamiliar beautiful lady, the waiter couldn't help but be a little surprised. This Mr. Hu was an extremely self-willed young man. In the past, only others showed him courtesy, so how could he try to please others
But today it really happened! However, when the waiter saw Xu Shichu's appearance, he understood in his heart. Who doesn't know that Mr. Hu likes beautiful women the most
This doesn't mean that he is lustful, but that he is particularly tolerant of good-looking people. No matter whether they are men or women, young or old, as long as they happen to meet his aesthetic standards, he likes to get in front of them.
The waiter who knew his quirk took him to an elegant private room, poured tea skillfully, and then tactfully placed the menu in front of Xu Shichu.
Xu Shichu was not polite either. He ordered a few dishes he wanted to eat, then read out the names of the dishes and asked Du Zhao to choose. After all, Du Zhao could not recognize a few words and could not even understand the names of the dishes.
After ordering the dishes, the waiter went to prepare them.
"I wonder where you are from, madam? What is your identity? Of course, if it is inconvenient to say, madam does not have to tell. I am just a little curious because I see that you are good-looking and have guards around you." Hu Yunzhi asked frankly.
"It's not inconvenient at all. I came from the capital. My husband's family is an official and cannot leave the capital, so I brought my nephew to visit Jiangnan. People always say there's misty rain in Jiangnan, fireworks in Yangzhou in March, willows swaying on the bank and intoxicated by the spring smoke. The poems describe Jiangnan so beautifully, I want to see it with my own eyes." Xu Shichu did not hide anything.
Hu Yunzhi's eyes suddenly brightened, and he praised: "So that's how it is. Madam is a free and easy person. She sets out immediately when she wants to enjoy the beautiful scenery, without being hindered by the things around her. She is really free and easy, a rare and wonderful woman in the world!"
"Thank you for the compliment!" Xu Shichu said modestly and looked at Mr. Hu more favorably.
"Aunt, when will the food be served?" The hungry Xiao Zhaozhao interrupted their heated conversation and asked eagerly.
"It will be soon. If you are hungry, you can have some snacks to fill your stomach." Master Hu hurriedly moved a plate of appetizers in front of the short and stout Du Zhao.
"Thank you, Brother Hu." Xiao Zhaozhao thanked him politely and then started to eat the snacks.
Hu Yunzhi praised, "Madam has really taught well. The young master has behaved well at such a young age. He is unlike my nephews, who are all like monkeys. Compared with the young master, they are even more unpresentable."
"Mr. Hu, there is no need to be so modest. The children are still young and have their own characteristics. Some are quiet, some are active, which is normal." Xu Shichu said modestly.
She was actually quite proud of Du Zhao's upbringing. After all, the little guy was only occasionally naughty at home, but in front of outsiders he was very well-mannered, knowing when to act, smart and polite. All of this was taught by her!
When little Zhaozhao heard the adults talking about him, he couldn't help but open his two black eyes wide and secretly glanced at the adults. He ate snacks and eavesdropped at the same time, like a clever little squirrel, so obedient and cute.
Seeing him like this, Xu Shichu couldn't help but reach out and touch his little head. The little guy didn't cry, complain about the hard work, or get sick during the whole journey. He is a very good child. Who wouldn't like such a worry-free and cute child more and more
