Chapter 425 Kyoto
Lin Jiaojiao immediately put on a professional smile and turned her head, only to see Jiang Ting'an standing up and walking towards her after she had just sat down. It would be impolite for her to remain seated.
She also stood up but did not go over to greet him, and said in surprise.
"Ginger girl, I didn't expect to meet you here."
In fact, Lan Jiu told her last night that Jiang Ting'an and the others' carriages were parked in the stable. Considering that the guest rooms were full, she knew that they came here to sort things out.
Still has taste.
Don't stay at other inns, come to Qiulai Inn.
It seems that Qiu Xilan’s brand is doing well.
After Jiang Ting'an walked closer and took a look, the doubts in her mind were answered. When they arrived yesterday, there were not many guest rooms in this hotel. Apart from Jiang Yue's room, they had to squeeze into four rooms to stay.
Lin Jiaojiao and her group did not look like they had just arrived this morning, so they must have checked in last night.
Either a room was available last night, or they were staying in a specially reserved suite, but whatever the possibility, it never hurts to be friendly and humble.
"Yes, my brother caught a cold and was in a hurry to leave. Miss Lin, please don't be surprised that Jiang left without saying goodbye. I didn't expect that fate would bring us together again."
"I understand. I see you just came down and haven't had breakfast yet. This soup dumplings are pretty good. You can try them."
"Okay Jiang, I will definitely try. I wonder when Miss Lin will leave for Beijing? If it's tomorrow, we can go together."
"Oh that's a shame, we'll be leaving soon."
"Okay, then we'll see you in Kyoto. Jiang won't bother you anymore. Bye."
Lin Jiaojiao watched her leave. She didn't hate Jiang Ting'an, and even had a little bit of good impression of her.
Although I don't know whether Jiang Ting'an really does these things, at least she maintains a good attitude and won't make people feel disgusted even if she makes friends with her.
But her brother was quite annoying. He actually called her a pariah, but he even called his sister that.
Just the day before yesterday, the Jiang family was in urgent need of firewood, so they came to ask her where they could find firewood. She asked Lin Chun to show them the way.
Later, they did bring back a lot of firewood, and Jiang Ting'an gave her two large bundles. Just then, Jiang Ting'an's younger brother came out of the woods. Although she couldn't see his expression because he was wearing a veil, she could hear his disgust and disdain from his voice.
"What a lowly servant loves is being with the lowly people. After all, they stink just as bad."
At that time, she noticed that Lan Jiu's face suddenly turned gloomy, and a murderous aura emanated from his whole body. She was afraid that Lan Jiu would kill someone in a fit of anger.
The man, completely unaware of his approaching death, left these words and walked away.
Jiang Ting'an quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, my brother Jiang Yue has been spoiled since he was a child and has developed such a spoiled personality. He was a little outspoken. He was only targeting Jiang. Miss Lin, I'm really sorry to implicate you."
At that time, she was so anxious to coax Lan Jiu that she didn't care about the bite from the mad dog.
Jiang Ting'an was tactful and did not mention it again. She had people send a lot of meat as an apology. She accepted the meat after all, the relationship in this remote place couldn't be too strained. However, she didn't get to eat the meat as it was all taken away by Lan Jiu.
In the evening, Jiang Yue's screams were heard in the forest. He and his servants crawled out of the forest, saying that they had encountered a brown bear.
Everyone was in a panic that night, really afraid that a bear would appear.
In the carriage at night, when Lan Jiu hugged her and told her not to keep up all night and just go to sleep, she realized that it was all Lan Jiu's doing.
The next day, news broke that Jiang Yue had caught a cold.
I'm afraid this young master won't recover from his illness for several days, and Jiang Ting'an will probably not be able to leave tomorrow.
She withdrew her gaze indifferently, and seeing that Lin Chun had finished eating, she asked the clerk to pack some steamed buns and dry food, and then got on the carriage and headed towards Kyoto.
After traveling for two days, they finally saw the gate of Kyoto.
Except for Lan Jiu, the three of them looked at everything in Kyoto curiously. The carriage slowly stopped at the door of the three-story Qiulai Inn.
The waiter immediately came forward and greeted, "Sir, are you here for a quick meal or to stay overnight?"
Lin Jiaojiao got off the carriage and stretched, "Accommodation, three guest rooms."
The carriage was led to the stable by the waiter, and the four people carried their luggage and followed the clerk to the guest rooms on the third floor. The three rooms were arranged together, which everyone was very satisfied with.
"Xiao Yunlinchun, take a rest for half an hour first. We will gather in the lobby downstairs for dinner and then go to the night market in Kyoto."
"Okay, Sister Jiao."
After answering, Lin Chun went into the house. Lin Yun nodded and carried his suitcase into the middle guest room.
Lin Jiaojiao and Lan Jiu lived in the innermost guest room. She carried two bags into the room and placed them on the table. She immediately ran to the window, which faced the street and allowed her to see half of Kyoto at a glance.
"Ajiu, come and see. I think I see the imperial palace. It should be the one with red walls and yellow tiles."
Lan Jiu put down the two suitcases in his hands, walked over when he heard her call, and following the direction of her finger, he could indeed see a corner of the palace.
"Miss, that's the west gate. If you want to see the front of the palace, you can go to the library tomorrow. It's seven stories high and has windows on all four sides that offer a panoramic view of Kyoto."
"Can ordinary people like us enter?"
Only high-ranking officials can enter such a place, right? Even if she has a sixth-rank official title, she doesn't want to go in with this identity. She doesn't want to expose her identity so early.
"Anyone who is wise can go up there."
"..."
Well, it’s another level-breaking game like this. With the little knowledge she has, she’d better forget it. But she can let Xiaoyun try.
Lan Jiu returned to the table, opened the suitcase, took out everything inside and sorted them out one by one.
Lin Jiaojiao stood by the window and watched the sky darken. Countless lights flickered in the streets and alleys. Their area was much quieter than the downtown area, but it was not far away either. She could faintly hear cheers and applause coming from afar. She thought it was street performers performing.
OK, the location is pretty good.
Lan Jiu packed all the luggage and checked the room again. After finding no problems, he came to Lin Jiaojiao who was sitting by the window.
The lady was staring at something in a daze and smiling foolishly again.
Yes, Lin Jiaojiao opened the map again to check the situation at home. It seemed that they had just finished dinner at this time, and everyone was sitting in the main room chatting. However, from her angle, she could only see the baby carriage turning around at the door of the main room. It must be that the eldest brother and others were taking the child out and wanted her to see it.
Although she couldn't see the children, she could imagine the three little ones sitting in the stroller.
Hehe, her cub is so cute.
Lan Jiu did not disturb her, but stood beside her and waited silently until the time was up before he reminded her.
"Miss, it's time to go downstairs for dinner."
"Ah? Oh oh I almost forgot, I'm starving after walking so much."
Lin Jiaojiao put away her stiff smile in embarrassment. Perhaps she had subconsciously regarded Lan Jiu as her husband, so sometimes she was not as careful as before when looking at the system. Sometimes she even forgot the time while looking at the map out of boredom.
In fact, she sometimes wanted to confess to Lan Jiu, but he just wouldn't ask or point it out. He was too sensible.
When the two went downstairs, they saw Lin Chun and Lin Yun already sitting at the dining table. The four of them had a simple dinner in the inn and then set off for the night market together.
Lin Jiaojiao was eating a sugar painting while watching the acrobatic performance. She and Lan Jiu stood together, while Lin Yun and Lin Chun stood on the other side in an excellent position to watch.
The audience applauded as they watched the performer balancing one porcelain bowl after another on his head, spinning two bowls with thin sticks in both hands, without letting the bowls fall. The fire-breathing show at the end especially made the scene boil.
After a performance, the girl came to the crowd with a basin to receive tips, and many people threw copper coins into the basin.
"Ajiu, give me the reward, Ajiu?"
Lin Jiaojiao saw the girl stop in front of her, while Lan Jiu behind her had not made any move yet. She felt a little embarrassed because everyone around her was looking at her. Just as she was about to turn around, a white, bony hand reached out from her side and threw reward money into the basin in front of her.
She stared at the hand, unable to take her eyes off it. The sound of the coins clinking made her heart beat faster. When the hand was about to retract, she suddenly turned around and grabbed it.
"Yeah, Jiaojiao caught me."
