Chapter 134 - 133 The Unfamiliar Noble Son
It wasn’t that Shopkeeper He was hesitant to enter, but the entrance of the private room was guarded by two old woman servants.
The private room had been booked by an unfamiliar affluent guest. Accompanying him were Young Master Liang from Clear Water County and two young ladies whose faces had not been seen, along with a group of maids and old woman servants. The food for the room at noon was also delivered by the old woman servants and the boys, without letting Great Crane House’s waiters enter the room.
This was the third private room Shopkeeper He had sent the milk cream cake to.
Shopkeeper He was aware of Young Master Liang’s fondness for the pastry shop’s sweet treats. Anyone who could bring Young Master Liang from the Liang family out to dine was certainly no ordinary household. It was beneficial to let these guests taste the milk cream cakes in order to promote their reputation. That was the initial intention behind Shopkeeper He’s gesture of sending in a very limited portion of the cake.
Shopkeeper He bowed with his hands clasped and said, "Elder Madams, my surname is He, and I am the manager of Great Crane House. I heard that your esteemed principal was looking for me; may I ask what for?"
The two old woman servants were neatly dressed, with straight postures and stern faces.
One of the old woman servants sized up Shopkeeper He and said, "Please wait a moment, Shopkeeper He, while I go in and report."
After a short while, the old woman servant came back out and said, "Our young master would like to ask Shopkeeper He a few questions. Please follow me inside."
