Chapter 321 Someone Has Ideas: A Well-Intentioned Warning (2)_1
The carriage had just entered the north gate when Mo Yan stepped down from it and told Lizhong that she would go to the rice shop for lunch at noon.
Lizhong nodded in response, thinking to himself that he should cook a couple of extra good dishes at noon, and after cautioning Mo Yan to be careful, he drove the carriage towards the Eastern Market.
Looking at the still quiet streets, Mo Yan turned and walked into a tea house.
It was early, and in the tea house, there was only the shopkeeper and a few busy attendants. Learning that the elegant rooms on the second floor facing the street had already been reserved, Mo Yan had no choice but to find a seat by a street-facing window in the main hall and ordered a pot of Biluochun tea, four types of dried fruits, and four types of pastries.
Before long, more people began to fill the tea house. Many were young ladies escorted by maids and old servants, who upon arrival were eagerly ushered into the elegant rooms on the second floor, unclear whether they came simply to join the excitement or to gaze upon someone they admired.
As the crowd grew, the main hall gradually became full. Those who arrived late, unable to find a seat, could only leave with regret. A few young men who looked like students noticed Mo Yan sitting alone at a table, and wanted to offer silver to take her seat, but Mo Yan politely refused them.
With the increase of people, the main hall, originally quiet, became especially noisy with all sorts of riveting gossip pouring into Mo Yan’s ears, serving as a pleasant way to pass the time.
