Shopkeeper Wu's meaning was obvious. He wanted to ask Tang Li and the others to leave.
Tang Li looked at Shopkeeper Wu's gesture and his anger rose. In order to let his wife and daughter be at ease and celebrate the New Year happily, he spent a lot of effort to find this teahouse and rushed over early and late.
The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier. They were in the middle of nowhere, so where were they supposed to go to celebrate the New Year? Were they supposed to spend it in the carriage?
Little Tang Tang could feel her father's anger. She poked her head out from under her father's cloak and stared curiously at Shopkeeper Wu. Her big, watery eyes were filled with confusion and looked especially cute.
"What if it's not convenient?" Tang Li asked Coldly.
Shopkeeper Wu obviously saw that Tang Li's expression had changed, but he still replied politely, "Lord Tang, I'm really sorry. How much compensation do you need? Just name your price. "
Tang Li snorted. Ning Jing didn't say anything. She took little Tang Tang and sat to the side to wait. It was obvious that they didn't want to leave.
Shopkeeper Wu looked troubled when he saw this. "Both of you, I'm not the boss, so I can't make the decision! If you don't leave and the higher-ups blame me, I'll have to leave! Both of you, please take it as I'm begging you. "
"This is such a big teahouse. What's the situation? Can't you give our family of three a courtyard to spend the night? It's the New Year and it's snowing outside. We even have to take care of our child. Must you chase us away? Shopkeeper Wu, tell me, is this kind? How can a teahouse last long if it's not kind? "Ning Jing couldn't help but say.
This teahouse was so big that it had at least a few dozen courtyards. Tang Li had spent a lot of money to book the entire courtyard. Now that there was a situation, he wouldn't book the entire teahouse and just stay in one courtyard. This was already the greatest concession they could make.
Tang Li sat down lazily and casually crossed his legs. "Hmph, you can leave if you want. Get your boss to come out and give me a reason that will convince me wholeheartedly! Otherwise … do you believe that this lord will burn down your teahouse to make my daughter happy? "
He didn't know if little Tang Tang understood her father's words, but she leaned into her mother's embrace and giggled in a particularly cooperative manner.
Although Shopkeeper Wu didn't know about Tang Li's background, he knew that Tang Li's background wasn't small. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Tang Li to reserve the entire manor. After hesitating for a while, he finally told them the truth. "The two of you, to tell you the truth. Just an hour ago, two distinguished guests came to the manor and booked the entire manor … "
Before he could finish his sentence, Tang Li slammed the table and stood up. "I booked it a few days ago! What is the meaning of this? What's wrong? Are we not VIP guests? Today, I want to see what a distinguished guest looks like! "
"Master Tang, calm down, calm down!" With a mysterious expression, Shopkeeper Wu lowered his voice and said, "Lord Tang, I can't afford to offend those two masters, and neither can you. It's not that I don't want to do business with you, it's that I can't do it. Do you understand? Listen to my advice and leave quickly. I'll send someone to clear the way for you, and I guarantee that you'll be sent to the county town properly. As for your losses, I'm willing to pay three times the price! "
"Can't afford to offend them? Just because you can't afford to offend them, you don't have to follow the rules? Let me tell you, in this world, other than my brother and sister-in-law, there's no one I can't afford to offend! Lead the way for me, and I'll go meet your two distinguished guests and teach them the rules of first come, first served! "
The more Tang Li thought about it, the more sullen he felt. He actually encountered this kind of thing during the New Year. If he didn't vent his anger, how could he survive in the underworld in the future?
Shopkeeper Wu's patience finally ran out, and his face darkened. "You two, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hidden dart instantly brushed past Shopkeeper Wu's mouth, drawing a long line of blood. He was so shocked that he was stupefied and didn't understand what was going on.
Another hidden dart appeared in Tang Li's hand out of nowhere. He fiddled with it and looked at Shopkeeper Wu with interest. He smiled and said, "I'll give you the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. Go and invite your distinguished guests here. Tell them that I'm inviting you to drink a forfeit!"
Shopkeeper Wu was purely a businessman and didn't know anything about martial arts. He was so scared that he trembled and ran out without saying anything.
But he hadn't gone out long before a group of blade-wielding pageboys rushed in and surrounded Tang Li's family of three.
"You're courting death!" Tang Li's hands flashed with hidden weapons. Every hidden weapon was shot out without missing a target. They all hit vital points, but they didn't take lives. After all, he didn't want to kill anyone in front of little Tang Tang.
Ning Jing pulled little Tang Tang into her arms and covered her eyes. However, little Tang Tang peeked out from between her mother's fingers. She wasn't afraid at all and instead giggled. Not long after, she pulled down her mother's hand and clapped. "Daddy, good! Daddy is awesome! "
Tang Li cleaned up the room of servants in a few moves. He looked at little Tang Tang and said with a smile, "Is it fun?"
"Yes! It's fun! "Little Tang Tang was excited and her childish voice flowed smoothly.
"Let's go. Daddy will take you out to play!"
Tang Li's anger was greatly reduced by his daughter's smile. However, this didn't mean that he would let it go easily.
He picked up little Tang Tang and said to Ning Jing, "Follow behind me. Let's make our daughter happy."
Ning Jing didn't have any objections and followed closely behind him.
The husband and wife accompanied little Tang Tang, gesturing to the servants as they walked into the depths of the manor. Along the way, other than the sound of Tang Li's hidden weapons flying, there was only little Tang Tang's giggles.
When they were far away, several Shadow Guards hiding in the shadows emerged. The leader was none other than Xu Donglin.
"Brother Dong, is that Sect Master Tang and Madam Jing?" the Shadow Guard asked timidly.
"Yes! Sect Master Tang … doesn't seem to be stupid anymore? Xu Donglin muttered to himself, "I've never heard Master mention it before?"
"Brother Dong, should we report this to Master?" the Shadow Guard asked again.
"Looks like it's a coincidence. Hehe, it's a surprise for Master. I'll take the blame if they blame me. Don't be afraid!" Xu Donglin laughed.
When Master Tang went out, the Shadow Guard would naturally accompany them. He brought more than twenty Shadow Guards with him to stand guard around the manor. He knew as soon as Tang Li and the others approached the teahouse.
He was just curious about Manager Wu. Sect Master Tang had clearly booked the teahouse first, so why didn't he tell the Emperor and Empress the truth when they came over?
"Brother Dong, did Manager Wu see through Master Tang's identity?" the Shadow Guard asked again.
"Not really. Master Tang probably offered a higher price than Sect Master Tang. Master Tang stayed for three days, and Sect Master Tang stayed for one night. Even if he paid three times as much, he still made a profit! "Xu Donglin said seriously.
The Emperor and Empress were traveling incognito, so they didn't reveal their identities. Manager Wu had probably used "honored guests" to scare Tang Li, but it was probably just an excuse. He didn't really see through Master Tang's identity.
"Brother Dong, Madam Jing is right. Manager Wu isn't honest when doing business! I wonder who Master Tang is? I don't think he's an honest person either, "the Shadow Guard sighed with emotion.
"Who cares if he's honest or not? If Master Tang likes this manor, then just buy it!" Xu Donglin looked indifferent.
If Master Tang had strength, then so did the servants!
Very soon, Xu Donglin was chasing after Tang Li and his family of three. The manor was very large and filled with pageboys. Tang Li and little Tang Tang were having a great time playing around.
Currently, Long Feiye and Han Yunxi were resting in the deepest part of the estate, in the largest and most hidden courtyard. Neither of them had heard the commotion outside.
Long Fei Ye didn't like crowds. When he was Tianning's monarch, he'd always hide from the festivities and banquets. Those matters were simply too annoying. For example, the New Year's greetings on the first day of the year. He had to stay in his estate and wait for the officials to come in waves. How could he bear it?
Now that he was emperor, it wasn't easy to hide, but he still did. He used the excuse of avoiding the cold to bring little Rui 'er to No. 7 Teahouse for the New Year. He told the officials to send someone over if they had any urgent matters, but there was no need for them to come.
Actually, he'd planned to head south to the Plum Blossom Sea, but the journey was too long for him to make it. Now that there were too many matters at court, he couldn't leave for too long. Northern Li was still in the midst of disaster relief, so he had to keep an eye on the situation.
He was about to give up on going out when he happened to discover this hot spring teahouse in the west of Yunning. It would only take five to six days to reach the place. Moreover, the tea and hot springs were to his liking, so he brought his wife and son here through the wind and snow.
Han Yunxi sat on one side, arranging the red packets to be distributed.
Things were different now. In the past, she didn't have to worry about red packets. But now that she was the empress and the mother of the nation, according to Cloud Realm's customs, the madams, madams, and young misses of officials had to enter the palace to pay respects to her. Although she was going out, the red packets still had to be sent out from the teahouse early in the morning. Otherwise, people would say she was stingy, especially the madams of the officials in the Jiangnan area.
Of course, Han Yunxi prepared red packets for little Rui 'er and Tang Tang first. Although Long Fei Ye would give some as well, she was more than happy to add another packet for the children.
Little Rui 'er was sitting behind his mother, quietly pulling out banknotes from the red packets and stuffing them all into one.
He was almost one year old. As expected of the son of Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi, he was already extraordinary in all aspects at such a young age.
For example, he was taller than other children his age. Just by looking at his figure, people would believe that he was only two years old. His hands and feet were especially nimble. Little Tang Tang had only been able to walk steadily after one year and two months. However, he could leave right now and even run on his toes. For example, Little Tang Tang could only speak single words when he was one and a half years old. Now that he was almost two years old, he could only communicate with his parents smoothly. But he could already speak single words before he was one year old.
For example, his sensitivity. He could sense even the slightest movement. Long Fei Ye had tested that his sensitivity was no less than that of a martial arts practitioner.
For example, his ability to learn. Han Yunxi taught him almost everything that she taught him once, and he could remember it very well. For example, his courage. No matter if he met a stranger, a sudden situation, or a dangerous environment, he was never afraid, let alone cry. But even now, he cried when Long Fei Ye hugged him! He was not close to Long Fei Ye at all!
If it weren't for the father and son's similar appearance and temperament, people would probably suspect that this child was not Long Fei Ye's biological son.
Of course, no matter how amazing the talent of a child who was not even one year old was, he was still immature.
Not only did he pull out the banknotes from the red packets, but he also resealed the seals and stacked them one by one.
Han Yunxi carefully wrapped the red packets while Long Fei Ye stood by the window not far away, looking at the snow and thinking about things. Neither of them noticed what their son had done.
Little Rui 'er had probably emptied ten red packets and put all ten banknotes into one red packet. That red packet was hidden by him.
"What's that sound outside?" Long Fei Ye suddenly asked.
Han Yunxi didn't care, but Rui 'er suddenly got up and ran out of the door.
