Chapter 60: 外出 …
[Going out for a trip…]
When Tang Xiaobao’s hands finished, he took it first to bring it to Ji Ling’s face, and said happily, “Husband, you try it.”
Hearing Tang Xiaobao’s words, Ji Ling froze for a few seconds, and then looked at the cake in front of him and opened his mouth to eat it. The small cakes were very sweet, but one bite did not feel greasy, and when they were finished, Ji Ling looked at the cakes that had been staring at him. Ji Ling looked at Tang Xiaobao who had been staring at him and said seriously, “It’s really delicious.”
Immediately, he saw a big smile on Tang Xiaobao’s face.
Thinking about what he had just considered, Ji Ling looked at Tang Xiaobao and asked him to finish the rest of the cakes, and then said, “Do you want to go out for a walk?”
Hearing this question from Ji Ling, Tang Xiaobao hesitated for a while, but he was still a bit moved. In ancient times, there was no entertainment. Before, in Ji Ling’s mansion, he stayed bored and could go out for a walk, but since he came here, he never went out. Even if there are green lotus they accompany, every day to give yourself a little boredom relief, sometimes you still feel bored. Thinking of the prosperity he had seen when he first came here, Tang Xiaobao looked at Ji Ling and nodded vigorously.
Ji Ling reached out and touched his head, smiled and said, “Then I will take you out for a walk tomorrow.”
“Hn.” Tang Xiaobao nodded, wanting to give Ji Ling the last piece of cake in his hand. Only when he shook his head, indicating that he couldn’t eat any more, Tang Xiaobao ate it by himself. Afterwards, he greeted the subordinates to make the rest of the ingredients more vigorously, so that he could still make more small cakes and desserts.
Looking at Tang Xiaobao, who appeared to be very happy amongst the group of subordinates, the corner of Ji Ling’s mouth gently hooked up. Seeing Feng Ling, who was standing in the corner like saying something to himself, he asked, “What did you want to say just now?”
“Young master, in the past few days, the first lady has sent out many invitations to the young ladies and young masters of various families, even the family that is planning to marry the young master has also been invited.” After returning here, Feng Ling went to contact some of his former informants, and after his young master instructed him to do something, he quickly sent over the information he needed.
Ji Ling pondered over the news Feng Ling had brought back, then sat down at the table, gently tapping the table with his fingertips, and faintly said; “I know, you tell them to keep an eye on it. There is also my father’s side, as well as that Sang’s in the end misappropriated many things in the past few years, all one by one to investigate it clearly.”
“Yes, Young Master.” After bowing towards his own young master, Feng Ling retreated.
Hearing the sound of the door being closed, Ji Ling turned his head to look out the window at Tang Xiao Bao’s figure, his face was silent, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Early in the morning of the second day, Tang Xiaobao woke up, and then asked Green Lotus to help him dress and hang up his accessories. Originally just a trip out does not need to be so nervous, but just came to see the people here dressed in expensive clothes. Although he didn’t care how others looked at him, he also didn’t want to draw attention to himself because his clothes were too out of place.
“Young Madam, you should wear this, it shows off your face.” Green lotus took a green color clothes to Tang Xiaobao, looked at his originally very tender face and said, if he wore this out, even if he said that he was an unmarried ger, there were people who would believe it.
Tang Xiaobao took a look, and did not have any opinion, just looked at Green Lotus and said: “You look at me wearing it. I believe in your vision.”
Hearing Tang Xiaobao’s words, Green Lotus revealed a big smile, and then served Tang Xiaobao even more meticulously, picking out the things that suited Tang Xiaobao one by one, and then matching them one by one to him. Looking at the freshly dressed up Ger, Green Lotus looked very satisfied.
After Tang Xiaobao finished, he went to look for Ji Ling. Looking at his back wearing a crescent-white dress, obviously is an ordinary dress, but it seems the man’s posture wearing it upright, just from back, made people feel their imagination run wild.
They probably may have heard someone’s footsteps, turned to look at Tang Xiaobao, looked up and down, even if there is no smile, but also let a person detect the warmth in their eyes. The eyes were very focused on Tang Xiaobao, feeling very satisfied. Originally, Tang Xiaobao is good-looking, but usually because they do not care about it, they do not care so much, and now deliberately dress up a bit, it appears to be especially different from the usual.
See Ji Ling staring at himself, even if the eyes are not malicious, but still let Tang Xiaobao feel very uncomfortable. Originally wanting to call someone to go out, Tang Xiaobao looked at him and said with some hesitation, “When are we leaving?”
Retracting his sight, Ji Ling walked forward, took Tang Xiaobao’s hand and walked towards the outside, “Since we are all ready, let’s go out now.”
Being led by Ji Ling all the way, he left the Ji Family. On the way out, there were also some concubine sons and daughters of the Ji Family, but even though they recognized the identities of the two of them, not many of them came up to talk to them, and some of them just greeted them from afar and left. To these people, Ji Ling was very indifferent. Tang Xiaobao noticed that those people looking at Ji Ling’s eyes are also very strange, more like a probe, the eyes look very cold and indifferent.
Tang Xiaobao felt that their relationship with Ji Ling must not be good, looking at his side of the Ji Ling, thinking of that yard so big, so deep. There is no one close to him, how lonely he would be. So, Ji Ling will automatically be brought into those in need of help, little cabbage, eyes gradually emerging with a sympathetic look.
Until he sat on the carriage waiting outside, Ji Ling saw the eyes of Tang Xiaobao looking at himself, and for a moment he was a little confused. After thinking back, there was nothing wrong. Just looking at the bottom of Tang Xiaobao’s eyes emerged feelings of love, a little hesitation for a while, he still questioned it directly and asked, “Why do you look at me like this?”
Hearing Ji Ling asked him, Tang Xiaobao felt very embarrassed, just thinking of their own guess, looking at the person in front of their eyes, he still could not help but say, “Did you have a really tough time before?”
Hearing Tang Xiaobao’s words, Ji Ling froze for a moment, and then looked at Tang Xiaobao, seeing the serious look in his eyes, he was seriously thinking that he really had a very difficult time. But he did not understand why Tang Xiaobao always had so many inexplicable mental associations, every time to think very far. For this, Ji Ling never understood, just looked at the person in front of him, thought for a moment, or asked, “Why do you think so?”
“Huh?” Hearing Ji Ling’s question, Tang Xiaobao was unable to react, and then looked at Ji Ling who was staring at him. Suddenly, he was a bit shy about his own guess just now, he even felt that it was very strange for him to suddenly say a sentence without a clue, just looking at the person in front of him, blushed a bit, but still directly said, “Because I think your parents don’t care about you, and those people I saw just now when I came out are obviously your siblings, but they don’t look very familiar with you. I just made a blind guess.” The more he spoke, the smaller Tang Xiao Bao’s voice became.
Ji Ling looked at Tang Xiaobao, thinking that he would always make him feel soft-hearted, and it was like this before and it is even more so now. Obviously, he is not a careful person, but he can understand this kind of thing. Thinking that they were originally one and the same, and that they only needed to ask around a little to find out what happened in the past, it would have been better to tell him, “I used to be in bad health, I couldn’t go out of the yard, and I basically didn’t show up in front of other people.”
Ji Ling didn’t answer whether he was doing well or not, but only lightly described his former life. Tang Xiaobao intuitively felt that there was something wrong there, but after thinking for a while, he still couldn’t think of anything wrong there, and then gave up thinking about it.
“However, I’m glad that you’re so concerned about me.” Ji Ling looked at Tang Xiaobao and said with a smile, obviously very serious.
Tang Xiaobao was made very uncomfortable by Ji Ling’s eyes. Fortunately, the carriage stopped, and the servant outside was asking the people on the carriage whether they should get off now.
Ji Ling answered, and when he came out, the footstools for getting off the carriage had already been prepared outside. Waiting for Ji Ling to get off the carriage, Tang Xiaobao ventured out, only to see that in front of them was a breakfast store. It is just that this store selling morning snacks is decorated in a very grand manner, and it is comparable to those big restaurants.
Ji Ling took Tang Xiaobao and walked in, explaining: “There are a lot of affluent people in the capital, many want to do well, and can afford to pay the best, so these stores are also more elegant than others. Later, after breakfast, I will take you to other houses to have a look.”
The two did not attract much attention after they entered, even though they were very well dressed. But in this place where rich people are everywhere, this is nothing, instead, the store’s little 20 is very attentive to welcome them. “Welcome you two, may I ask how many floors the two guests would like to sit on?”
This sitting a few floors will also have to pay attention to, the first floor of the hall is placed in a few tables, between each table there are things separated, but ultimately they can see who is next to their own. The second floor seats are separated by a screen, which is very elegant. On the third floor were the private rooms.
Tang Xiaobao didn’t think that just one seat could create so many tricks, and could only look at Ji Ling, waiting for him to make a decision. Receiving Tang Xiaobao’s gaze, Ji Ling looked at the waiter and replied, “Let’s go to the second floor.”
“Good!” Hearing Ji Ling’s words, the waiter guided the people up. As we walked along the corridor, we could occasionally see people sitting there through the cracks. Almost all the seats on the second floor were full, and after the waiter guided the people to their seats, he reported the menu very neatly, waiting for the two guests to make their choices.
It was Tang Xiaobao’s first time here, so he didn’t know anything, so he let Ji Ling do all the talking. Only to hear Ji Ling quickly finalized more than ten breakfast, listening to Tang Xiaobao very much wanting to open his mouth to stop, however thought of what, in the end, he still did not open his mouth.
Waiting for the waiter to take the ordered menu away, Tang Xiaobao looked at Ji Ling and said, “We will not order too much.” How could the two of them finish the food? Tang Xiaobao, who had always been a very frugal family man, was very worried.
Ji Ling reached out and touched his head, calmly said, “It doesn’t matter, we can finish it.”
Tang Xiaobao blinked his eyes and looked at Ji Ling, not quite understanding what this meant, until after those things were served, he was stunned. Looking at the dozens of plates of delicate and small cakes, basically a plate can only be enough for one person to eat a mouthful, not to mention more.
Compared to the stunned Tang Xiaobao, Ji Ling was very calm, picking up one and putting it into his bowl, saying, “This is very delicious.”
With an unknown mood, Tang Xiaobao picked up one and ate it, then opened his eyes wide, it was really delicious.
Seeing Tang Xiaobao’s reaction, Ji Ling knew that he liked these. Although there are many things to order, the portions are there, the two of them only spent more than ten minutes eating, and after eating, Tang Xiaobao still lingers in his mind constantly. He finally realized why the portion here is small, the price is expensive and so many people come.
“The things here are the best materials, their chef is also the best.” Looking at the other side who wished to continue it,Tang Xiaobao, who thought dearly of the money being spent, explained to him. At the same time, he was also glad that he could earn money, otherwise, according to Tang Xiaobao’s hardwork and thriftyness in running one’s household, how could he save the money?
After taking Tang Xiaobao to eat a delicious breakfast, Ji Ling was ready to take him to the main street to turn around. After all, there are a lot of goods there but also the most prosperous place.
The two of them decided not to let the carriage take them there, but walked slowly on the street by themselves. As far as the eye can see, everything is prosperous, Tang Xiaobao is also gradually realizing the prosperity of this city.
Walking to the main street, it was not far in front of the hustle and bustle that attracted attention. Looking at the front around the inner three layers, outside three layers of people, Ji Ling is not very interested, but Tang Xiaobao thought and looked at the gossip, his heart continually became restless.
Seeing Tang Xiaobao face eager to look at them, Ji Ling with people walked toward that side, anyway, no matter what happened, he could protect himself and him.
Just did not expect it, just close to, heard the clamor coming from the inside, and around all kinds of uproarious voices.
