Chapter 1033 - 011 Young master, please do me a favor
Lin Yuan had agreed to take her sisters out for a stroll. After sending Zhao Hongde away, she hurried back to call everyone.
As soon as the outing was mentioned, Xiao Linshuang was the most excited. She chirped nonstop, mentioning many fun and tasty places, which made Lin Yuan quite curious—it was as if this little girl wasn’t visiting the Capital city for the first time.
Seeing the doubt in her eldest sister’s eyes, Xiao Linshuang giggled and said, "These are all things Master told me, hehe."
Was it Lao Fan who had told her? Lin Yuan became even more puzzled. If it were Lao Fan, he should only be talking about where to find the most authentic roast chicken and where the pig hocks are the tenderest. But could he really have spoken about the rich people in the east of the city and the simpler folks in the west? Could these really be his words?
Knowing she wouldn’t get anything out of questioning Xiao Linshuang, Lin Yuan didn’t ask. However, the cloud of doubt in her mind couldn’t be easily dispelled. At first, it was only Lin Wei, but now even Xiao Linshuang started to keep secrets. No wonder people say girls grow more distant as they become more outgoing.
In contrast to the children’s excitement, Lady Liu was somewhat worried. After all, the Capital city was no match for Zhuma Town. The officials and nobles here were too numerous. To use Aunt Wang’s words, you could find aristocrats everywhere in the Capital, and one might step on a fourth-rank official just by stepping out of the door.
Although that statement was greatly exaggerated, Lady Liu was still very concerned. Fortunately, Xia Zheng’s young servant Dong Qing was accompanying them, which provided some reassurance for both Lady Liu and Lin Yuan.
As they left the house, Dong Qing was still rattling on to Lady Liu about his own prowess. This time, Lin Yuan did not stop him, as sometimes his chattiness did serve a purpose; at least now it could help Lady Liu and the others feel more at ease.
The Capital city truly was incomparable to Yecheng, and Drunken Immortal Tower was even more magnificent than Drunken Immortal Residence. That day, they had only caught a glimpse on the way into the city. Today, as the full view of Drunken Immortal Tower came into sight, everyone was so astonished that they forgot to breathe.
Splendid and majestic were the common sentiments among the sisters at that moment. Even the worldly Lin Yuan was shocked by the Drunken Immortal Tower. The three-story building was not very large, but its exquisiteness drew even more praise. Unlike the flat rooftops of the nearby shops, Drunken Immortal Tower had a pointed top. The three large characters for Drunken Immortal Tower lined up vertically on this pointed rooftop, dazzling in gold from a distance.
