Cheng Yao looked at his appearance and couldn't help laughing. She stepped forward and shook his shoulders gently, calling in a low voice.

"Xiaozhu? Can you hear me?"

"Is this story not very attractive to you? Why did you fall asleep listening to it?"

"Wake up, it's over, we can go."

After Cheng Yao called out several times, Xiaozhu slowly woke up.

He scratched his cheek in confusion, wiped away the non-existent saliva from his mouth, and said blankly.

"What? It's over?"

"Oh oh oh, okay, I'll get up right away."

"I'm sorry, Ayao, I don't know why, but I suddenly felt sleepy."

Cheng Yao didn't mean to blame Xiaozhu. Today the storyteller told a story about a pair of crazy men and resentful women.

With Xiaozhu's current mind, I'm afraid he won't be too interested in this kind of story, and it's only human nature to fall asleep.

"It's okay. Just listen if you're interested. If you're not interested, it's okay to take a nap."

"After an afternoon, you should be almost hungry, right?"

"I'll take you out for a walk and see what you can eat."

After the crowd listening to the book dispersed, the teahouse suddenly became deserted.

Xiaozhu looked around the empty seats and nodded obediently.

The two left the teahouse one after another. When they stood by the street, they were slightly shocked by the bustling scene in front of them.

On both sides of the market, the shops lit up their lights one after another, and the warm light poured on the bluestone slabs, illuminating the entire street.

Pedestrians shuttled among the bustling crowds, their clothes fluttering, and laughter and cheers could be heard from time to time.

Lanterns flickered and horses hooves pounded.

From time to time, carriages passed slowly through the streets, and the sound of rolling wheels grew from near to far.

The wooden door panels of the shop made a gentle knocking sound in the night breeze.

The cries of vendors, the bargaining voices of customers, the laughter of children, and the bells of distant temples are all intertwined.

But the strange thing is that these noisy sounds are not disturbing.

The street market is filled with various aromas——

There is the sweet smell of freshly baked pastries, the fragrance of freshly brewed hot tea, and the fragrance of flowers.

These aromas float in the air together with the smoke, making people feel more happy.

Looking up, the stars in the sky were somewhat dimmed by the lights of the city, while the moon was hidden among the clouds, occasionally revealing a corner and shedding silver light.

Cheng Yao looked at the bustling market and was a little undecided for a moment.

There are so many things she wants to eat and play with that she doesn’t know where to start.

Just as Cheng Yao was struggling, a familiar thing appeared in her field of vision again.

"Everyone get out of the way——"

There was another familiar scolding sound. Cheng Yao followed the source of the sound and saw that it was indeed the carriage from this morning.

Cheng Yao would not admit his mistake in driving such a luxurious car.

But compared to this morning, the people in this team were somewhat restrained.

Maybe it’s because we are now in a central location and we are afraid of bumping into other people in powerful positions.

If it were a relatively ordinary land this morning, the speed would be terrifying.

I saw the carriage slowly stopping in front of Jufu Tower, and the people in the restaurant immediately trotted forward, ready to guide them.

The curtain of the carriage was opened, and the person inside leaned out, held the maid's hand, and got out of the carriage.

Only now did Cheng Yao see the whole person. Even though he was across the street, he was still stunned for a moment.

The woman's appearance is like a gorgeous flower, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, and her eyes are like autumn waves. It's just that there is always a sense of superiority and arrogance in such a pair of beautiful eyes.

I saw her walking lightly, landing as lightly as catkins fluttering on the ground.

Cheng Yao's first impression of her was that of a rose with thorns.

Very beautiful, but also very easy to hurt.

However, what attracted Cheng Yao more than her beautiful face was her clothes.

She was wearing a gorgeous dress, a brocade dress embroidered with gold threads.

The golden threads shimmered dazzlingly under the light, as if golden streams of light were dancing.

The brocade clothes are embroidered with various flowers, birds and animals, and every part is lifelike.

These patterns on the woman's body are like living works of art, making her beauty even more attractive.

Not only that, the hem of her skirt was inlaid with bright gems, and even the corners were taken care of meticulously, without any flaws.

Not to mention the jewelry on her head, the wealth that filled the sky almost blinded the eyes of passers-by.

As she walked forward, the pearls on her head swayed.

"Miss, you are here."

The waiter in the restaurant lowered his head respectfully and spoke in a humble tone, fearing that he might do something wrong and offend this young lady with a bad temper.

"Well, let's go."

The woman obviously didn't want to talk nonsense with this kind of servant, so she just replied lightly, indicating that she could go in.

The restaurant waiter quickly raised his head and guided us very cautiously and professionally.

The lotus steps move lightly, and the skirt with ample material ripples in beautiful arcs during the movement, like the petals of a flower blooming.

Not long after, the woman stepped into the restaurant.

After watching the woman's figure disappear from his sight, Cheng Yao silently pondered the identity of the other party.

Anyone who can be so domineering must have a family business behind him.

The guy just called her eldest lady. Could it be that she is the owner of this restaurant?
But even if the restaurant earns a lot of money every day, it may not be able to afford such fine clothes.

During the days when Cheng Yao stayed at the Qiu family, she also came into contact with a lot of fabrics.

Leaving aside the precious decorations on it, just looking at the base material of the brocade garment, it is also a rarity that is hard to see.

Even the most expensive piece of clothing in the Qiu family doesn't have half of its splendor.

I'm afraid this restaurant is just one of the properties of the other party's family.

If he was someone easy to get in touch with, Cheng Yao would really want to go up and make friends with him.

When you are away from home, you have many friends and many paths.

However, this woman is difficult to get along with at first glance.

Cheng Yao naturally gave up on her childhood dream of being friends with the rich woman, and just prayed silently in her heart not to run into her.

It's hard for a strong dragon to defeat a local snake. In this unfamiliar place, if there is a conflict with someone of his status, it will probably be a big trouble.

Afterwards, Cheng Yao withdrew her eyes and stopped worrying about this matter.

"Xiaozhu, let's go there first."

"When I came here just now, I seemed to see some delicious and fun things over there. Let's go and have a look."

"Would you like to eat the oyster omelette first, or watch the sideshow first?"

"Forget it, let's go first, and go wherever we meet!"

Before Xiaozhu could react, he was pulled by Cheng Yao and blended into the crowd.

Like two small fish entering the sea, they suddenly disappeared.
