Lin Wanrong and the two ladies raised their heads to look at the lotus lantern flying in the sky. The three of them stood there quietly, as if they were mud balls that had disappeared into the sea of people. No one could see them clearly.
Raising her eyes to look at the bright and clean jade plate in the starry sky, the lady standing on the rooftop sighed softly. Her gaze unconsciously swept across the bustling crowd, but she did not notice the three mud balls in the sea of thousands of people.
With tears in her eyes, the lady tapped her feet lightly and instantly turned into a beautiful swan under the moonlight, disappearing into the boundless night.
Seeing the twin lotus lantern slowly flying over her head, Xiao Yushuang happily clapped her hands and said, "I wonder which young lady placed this lantern. It's so beautiful. I think this big sister must be missing her lover. "
The lotus lantern flew higher and higher, as if there were thousands of fragrant flowers scattering, dazzling everyone's eyes. It became the most beautiful scene in this lantern festival. Countless infatuated men and women clasped their hands together, worshipping the lantern with pious expressions.
There seemed to be a mysterious force calling out to her. Lin Wanrong's gaze landed on the roof of the building, only to see the bright moon hanging high in the sky. The entire place was empty, with no one to be seen.
"What are you looking at?" The Grand Mistress saw him in a daze and hurriedly asked softly.
"That restaurant, I want to go take a look." Lin Wanrong said resolutely.
The Grand Mistress grunted, "Restaurant? That's perfect. After so many days of travel, we have finally reached the capital. Let's go there and enjoy ourselves as a celebration. I'll allow you to drink some wine, but you can't delay things. "
Lin Wanrong laughed. This Grand Mistress's management was becoming more and more humane. There was a bright future ahead of him.
The few of them saw the restaurant standing in the middle of Qianmen Street. The location was excellent, and it was about five to six stories high. It was majestic and spectacular. It was the most prosperous restaurant on Qianmen Street.
Lin Wanrong pulled the two ladies and with great difficulty squeezed to the front of the building. From top to bottom, there were lanterns of different sizes hanging everywhere. In the middle of the building, there was a large golden plaque with four words written on it — Heavenly Realm of Clouds.
Damn, even a place to eat is named like this? It was too elegant!
Lin Wanrong chuckled. The Grand Mistress tugged at him and pointed to the small words under the plaque. "Look."
Just now, he only saw a few golden words and neglected the small words in the corner. With the Grand Mistress's reminder, he raised his head and saw that there were a few small words under the plaque — "Written by Xu Wei".
This building was inscribed by Old Man Xu? It was indeed very elegant. All the more reason to go up and take a look. Lin Wanrong nodded with a smile and said, "Ladies, let's have a talk here."
Just as the three of them were about to go upstairs, a shop assistant stopped them with a smile on his face. "Dear guests, it's really unfortunate. Our Cloudy Wonderland has been booked by someone tonight, so we can't entertain any other customers. Everyone, please look elsewhere. I'm sorry about that. I'm really sorry. "
It was common for a restaurant to be booked out, not to mention on a big day like the Lantern Festival, it was even more so. This shop assistant's attitude was not bad. The Grand Mistress nodded and was about to leave. Lin Wanrong missed the person who placed the lotus lantern on the rooftop. He felt a little unwilling, as if he would miss out on a lot of things if he missed out on this place.
"Brother, are we really not able to go up? My two ladies came from afar just to admire the lanterns. They admire the reputation of Cloudy Wonderland, but now we can't even squeeze out three seats? "Lin Wanrong said.
The shop assistant was in a difficult position. "Brother, I won't hide it from you. Today, our Cloudy Wonderland is reserved for the young masters and ladies of Jinghua Academy to enjoy the lanterns and guess the riddles. They have specifically instructed not to disturb them. You know that young masters and ladies are difficult to please. Brother, please don't make things difficult for me. "
"Jinghua Academy?" The Second Miss was shocked. She pulled Xiao Yuruo excitedly and said, "Sister, is this Jinghua Academy the place I'm going to study?"
The Grand Mistress nodded. "There's only one Jinghua Academy in the capital, so it should be."
Yushuang was instantly excited. Lady Xiao allowed her to study in the capital and contacted Jinghua Academy for her. Lin Wanrong was also stunned. Jinghua Academy? Wasn't this the legendary university? These guys were really rich. They booked such a big restaurant in one go.
The three of them could have found a random tavern to settle their hunger, but now that they heard of Jinghua Academy, the Second Miss was full of anticipation. Lin Wanrong was also worried and wanted to go up to the rooftop to take a look.
Just as they were hesitating, a young master dressed in a luxurious robe came in from outside. He went upstairs with two servants.
The shop assistant hurried forward and said, "Young Master Tian, you're here? All the young masters and young mistresses are waiting upstairs. "
The young man called Young Master Tian was handsome and elegant. He nodded and said, "Are Miss Zhiqing and Young Master Ye here?"
The shop assistant hurriedly said, "They're not here yet, but the other young masters and young mistresses are already here."
Young Master Tian nodded and was about to go upstairs. When he passed by the two ladies from the Xiao Family, he glanced at them. His eyes lit up and he stopped in his tracks. He adjusted the hem of his robe and turned around to greet them. "May I ask the two ladies, are you here to attend the lantern festival? Why haven't I seen you two before? "
He had a smile on his face and his expression was attentive. His demeanor was extraordinary. His warm gaze fell on the two ladies' faces, giving them a good impression of him. However, a lowly servant like Lin San was naturally filtered out by him.
It was good to be pretty. People were rushing to greet them everywhere. Lin Wanrong despised him in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't just go up and beat up this guy who dared to ask a question.
Grand Mistress said gracefully, "Young Master, you're too kind. We sisters are not from the capital. We've heard of the famous Paradise of Clouds for a long time. It's the Lantern Festival today, so we wanted to join in the fun and watch the lantern festival. "
Young Master Tian gave a long "oh" and said attentively, "I see. You two ladies are so beautiful, just like fairies. I wonder where you're from? Could it be Chang 'e from the Moon Palace? "
The Second Miss was still young. Hearing this young master praise them in front of everyone, she blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment.
'F * ck, he's even more shameless than me.' Lin Wanrong snorted. 'My wife doesn't need your praise.' Yushuang secretly pulled his hand and smiled. She said gently, "Bad guy, I still like to hear you say I'm pretty."
Grand Mistress smiled faintly, "Young Master, you're too kind. I'm from Jinling."
Young Master Tian said in surprise, "So you're a beauty from Jiangnan. No wonder you look so fresh and extraordinary. Why don't you two ladies go upstairs to watch the lanterns? "
"Oh, my two ladies wanted to go upstairs to watch the lanterns, but this waiter said that this restaurant has been booked by you and your companion, so we can't go up." Lin Wanrong said with a smile.
Young Master Tian wanted to talk to the two young ladies, but when he saw a servant cut in and cut off the young lady's words, he couldn't help but frown, thinking that this servant was really unruly.
However, seeing that the two ladies didn't say anything, he couldn't act up. He could only smile awkwardly, "Rude! He was really rude to a beauty! There must be some misunderstanding. I'm Tian Wenjing. My friends from Jinghua Academy and I agreed to come here tonight to watch the lanterns. That's why we booked this restaurant. One reason is to prevent people from disturbing us, and the other is to guess some lantern riddles for fun. According to our rules, anyone who can guess a lantern riddle can go upstairs to watch the lanterns. I didn't expect to neglect the two ladies. It's really a sin. I'll apologize to the two ladies and invite them upstairs to watch the lanterns together. "
Grand Mistress looked at Lin Wanrong. Although she didn't know why he wanted to go up to Paradise in the Clouds, he had his reasons. Moreover, her sister also wanted to go up and see the talents from Jinghua Academy. She smiled and said, "So you want to go upstairs to guess lantern riddles? That's not surprising. We shouldn't have disturbed you, and we can't break the rules. Young Master Tian, please bring a lantern over, and I'll try to guess. "
"So Miss is a talented lady. My apologies." Young Master Tian's eyes lit up and the smile on his face became more sincere. "This lantern riddle is just a joke. Miss, you don't have to take it seriously. Why don't I be the host today and invite the two ladies upstairs to watch the lanterns and celebrate the prosperous times together. "
Grand Mistress smiled and didn't say anything. Lin Wanrong leaned the lantern that was about to fall apart to his side and thought to himself, "The prosperous times? You say it like it's real. Whoever believes you will have to celebrate the new year tomorrow. "
Young Master Tian saw that Grand Mistress was determined and nodded helplessly. He pointed to the lanterns hanging upstairs and smiled politely. "Then please choose a lantern, Miss."
Grand Mistress waved her hand at Yushuang. "Sister, help me choose one."
Second Miss nodded. She pointed to a butterfly lantern with her slender finger and said, "I want this."
The waiter hurriedly lifted the bamboo pole and took down the lantern. Young Master Tian handed it over to Grand Mistress with both hands and smiled. "Please open the riddle, Miss."
Grand Mistress nodded. She took out the note from the lantern and passed it to the waiter. The waiter then passed it to Young Master Tian.
Young Master Tian looked at the riddle and was stunned for a moment. He read, "Miss, this is a word riddle. It will be clear when meeting water and bright when meeting fire. Guess a word. "
Lin Wanrong was best at this kind of brain-teaser. He thought for a while and came up with an answer. He looked at Grand Mistress again. She frowned and thought for a while. She picked up the small script the waiter gave her and wrote a beautiful word on the plate — "Deng".
