Chapter 10: 買買買
[Buy buy buy]
“Go ba.” Ji Ling looked at Tang Xiaobao, who was not so disheartened, and said to the waiters behind him without looking back.
Just after Ji Ling’s words fell, the waiters outside quickly put the dishes that had already been prepared on the table, their actions were very clear and neat. After the dishes were served, the leading waiter made a bow to Ji Ling and prepared to leave.
When Ji Ling saw Tang Xiaobao, who had been observing the dishes since they were served, he waved his hand and called for the waiter to come over. The waiter took two steps and quickly came to Ji Ling’s side, bowing his head and speaking in a very respectful tone, “What are Young Master’s orders?”
“I have something I want you to do.”
After waiting for the young master to leave, Tang Xiaobao looked at Ji Ling who was being secretive and not letting himself be heard, his expression somewhat curious.
“Let’s eat ba.” As if he hadn’t seen Tang Xiaobao’s gaze, Ji Ling took his chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish with a bland expression. Tasting the fresh aroma in his mouth, although it wasn’t as special as Tang Xiaobao’s cooking, it was still delicious.
Tang Xiaobao stared at him for a while, but apart from noticing that his eating movements were becoming more and more elegant, and his speed was very fast, he couldn’t see anything. When he came back to his senses, he found that his favourite braised pork meat ball was only the last one left, and when he was about to start, he only saw a pair of chopsticks faster than his own, clip the juicy pork meatballs, and then watched him fall into Ji Ling’s mouth.
Looking at Tang Xiaobao’s hardly covered complaint eyes, Ji Ling was very calm, and even commented in a serious manner, “The food here is indeed good, it seems that the treasurer is operating with great care.”
Tang Xiaobao is now holding his breath, wanting to cry, actually did not leave a single one for himself.
When he saw Tang Xiaobao biting a sugar ball with a sad face, the corner of Ji Ling’s mouth slightly lifted up.
In the first floor private room, Tang Shiman and a few ladies she knew well were sitting at the moment. If it were a normal day, they would usually be invited to stay at home, but now they heard that it was the Wang Restaurant, so the family let them come out. It’s just a meal, but eating there is different.
At the table where the waiter had not yet served the food, the ladies were talking with smiles on their faces. One of them looked towards Tang Shiman, who was sitting in the centre of the table at the moment, and in her tone, she didn’t know whether she was envious or complimentary, and said with a smile, “It’s still Shiman mei mei (mei mei means little sister) that cares the most about people, if it were normal, if we wanted to come here to eat, I’m afraid that we would have to die of a heartache ah.”
“That’s right, a meal here is enough for me to buy a good set of jewellery.” Another green-clad lady, who looked like a lively one, chimed in. “But I just saw your little brother going up to the third floor. Anyone who can go up there is rich. It seems that your brother is doing very well now.” Although my family is not bad with that amount of money, it is not always possible to go up there.
At the beginning of listening to them, Tang Shiman still had a modest face, until the mention of Tang Xiaobao, her face stiffened slightly, and then very quickly recovered, looking at the surrounding families in this place who have some reputation from aristocratic families. Covering the edge of her mouth with a hand towel, she said softly, “My younger brother married the young master of the Ji family, and that place is naturally he can go up there.”
After saying that, those present did not answer. Who doesn’t know about the young master of the Ji family? He is said to be a big man, but unfortunately, he is a dying man. As for that wealth and honour, who would take it seriously without seeing it for themselves.
“Okay, let’s not talk about it, it’s not easy to come out once, let’s talk about other happy things.” Seeing that they seemed to want to ask further questions, Tang Shiman quickly changed the topic. She invited so many people here for dinner today, not to let them come here to chat about gossip.
Seeing her say so, the other ladies changed the topic, began to talk about other interesting things. For a while the atmosphere in the room was lively again.
When the time was almost up, Tang Shiman called his subordinate to settle the bill, who knew that when the subordinate came back, the silver cheque in his hands not only did not use out, but instead, followed by waiters holding beautiful food boxes.
As soon as the waiter came in, he saw all the ladies around him staring at him, looking very curious. Before Tang Shiman could open her mouth to ask, she said in a very respectful tone: “Miss Tang, this is my young master’s order, you are my young madam’s sister. When you come to your own land, naturally you can’t pay for this meal. Also, please take this pastry back with you, Miss.” After saying that, the waiter placed the things on the table and left respectfully.
Seeing this behaviour of the waiter, the people who came back to their senses whispered, “So, this is really the Ji family’s property.”
At this moment, Tang Xiaobao and Ji Ling were sitting on the carriage and rattling towards home. Tang Xiaobao was sitting on the seat, shaking left and right, while Ji Ling was sitting straight.
Seeing Tang Xiaobao’s behaviour, Ji Ling knew that he was impatient again. After glancing at him, he ordered outside, “Go to Li Ji Cloth Farm.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
As the carriage rattled along, Tang Xiaobao was a bit surprised to hear that the carriage had changed direction and looked at the calm and collected Ji Ling, he couldn’t help but ask, “Where are we going?”
Ji Ling lifted his head to look at him, and put the soft pillow beside him to prevent him from bumping himself, “To make clothes for you.”
“But, didn’t I buy a lot last time?” Tang Xiaobao argued in a small voice, he couldn’t wear that many clothes in the mansion. Tang Xiaobao put a soft pillow around himself and lay down on it.
Ji Ling shook his head and did not say anything. How can he count those clothes, just a week is not enough to change, if the original, three spare clothes a day are less. As his Fu Lang how can he be so unpresentable?
When the carriage stopped, he knew he had arrived at his destination.
With Feng Ling’s help, he got down from the carriage and looked at the crowded market. It was completely different from the restaurant just now, and the people coming in and out looked very happy, especially some rich ladies who had sold their clothes.
When they came to Ji Ling’s side, the two of them walked in. Perhaps seeing the two people’s attire, the shop’s young man quickly greeted them, and was very courteous: “I don’t know what this young master, young ger would like to buy?”
Ji Ling looked at the samples hanging around and said faintly, “Choose a few sets of clothes for my Fu Lang.”
