Chapter 539 They are all relatives
Luo Qianqian, who was standing by, had entered the private room and was glaring at Liu Yue sitting opposite her while her grandmother was ignoring her.

But as he listened to his grandmother's words, he felt something was not right, and his eyes shifted from Liu Yue to Shi Liu.

Where did this country bumpkin come from? He actually became a relative of my grandmother.

When she heard that she even called her great-aunt, the contempt in Luo Qianqian's eyes almost turned into reality.

Great aunt?
Is she some kind of cousin of the Luo family?

How could there be a niece from my grandmother's family? Wasn't she the only daughter? Her great-grandparents had died long ago. As far as she could remember, she had never seen any relatives from the Lu family visit her, and her grandmother had never mentioned her family.

Maybe it was just a statement to save face, but this shameless person actually climbed up the pole.

Well, for a country bumpkin like him, how could he not be eager to marry into the Luo family?
But my grandmother kept saying yes, I guess she was very happy?

Luo Qianqian couldn't help but glare at Shi Liu.

Shi Liu pretended not to see it and muttered in his heart, this old lady is a very kind and polite person, why is her granddaughter so unruly?

When she heard Mrs. Luo ask her if she came to the capital with her family or something, she responded openly, "No, great-aunt, I came to the capital with an uncle."

Mrs. Luo was puzzled. Didn't he come to the capital with his family? Why did he go on such a long journey when he was already engaged?

Seeing her confusion, Shi Liu simply said directly: "To be honest with you, my family is in business, and I came to the capital this time to do business."

It turned out to be the case.

Old Madam Luo nodded. She didn't mind that the Shiliu family was a merchant family. Of course, Ah Yan had her reasons for hiring such a daughter-in-law for her son.

But she heard her granddaughter sneer, frowned, and glanced at her calmly, making her granddaughter quiet down and stop making trouble. Then she looked at Shi Liu and said with a smile, "What kind of business is this? Do you need help from your aunt?"

Shi Liu could sense that she was not just being polite, she really loved her niece and her family as well. Because she cared about her niece and knew that she was her niece's future daughter-in-law, she subconsciously wanted to take better care of her?
Then she smiled and said, "Thank you very much, great aunt. There is really nothing I can help you with. Everything is ready. We are just waiting to open the store."

Mrs. Luo said, "Where is the shop and when will it open? I'll have my family come to show their support."

It was hard for Shi Liu to refuse. She then thought that it would be a good idea to show her support, as it would also help to bring some fame to the shop. As she was a newcomer, she was really worried that no one would come to patronize the shop after it had just opened.

Then he smiled and responded.

Old Madam Luo nodded and took note of it, thinking that she would ask the housekeeper to go there later. Whether it was selling cloth, porcelain or tea, the family needed these things anyway, so it wouldn't hurt to buy more.

It was getting late, so Mrs. Luo immediately asked Shi Liu to go to the restaurant for a simple meal.

Shi Liu was almost glaring at by the second Miss Luo behind her back, so how could she accept the offer? Besides, she was not used to having a meal together on their first meeting, so she declined the offer.

Seeing this, Madam Luo did not force it, but told Shi Liu that if she needed help, she could just come to Yong'anfang to find her.

Shi Liu agreed and sent Madam Luo out.

After the carriage left, Liu Yue curled her lips and said, "That Second Miss Luo is so annoying. Look at her just now, she glared at me and then at you. Her eyes were bigger than bells! I was afraid that her eyes would pop out!"

Shi Liu burst out laughing, "Your description is really appropriate." Liu Yue also laughed, "Who cares? Anyway, I bought the earrings. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep tonight! Because of this delay, we haven't finished shopping at Jinxiu Pavilion. Sister Shi Liu, you haven't picked out any jewelry either. But it's almost noon now. Let's go to Tianxiang Tower for dinner first, and then go to Jinxiu Pavilion to shop?"

"Okay." Pomegranate responded.

Tianxianglou is also on this street, not far away, so you don’t need to take a car, it’s just a few steps away if you walk there.

Liu Yue walked with Shi Liu's hand, saying, "I didn't expect that you have relatives in the capital, Sister Shi Liu. I think the old lady is quite kind, but Miss Luo is not a good person. If you really marry into the Fan family and come to the capital with your mother-in-law, you must be careful. She is so fierce and evil. If you go to the Luo family, won't you be bullied to death?"

"That's not certain yet." It's hard to tell what will happen in the future. "But this old lady and Miss Luo don't look like grandparents and grandchildren."

"I don't think so either." Liu Yue agreed and asked curiously, "How about going back and asking Uncle Gui to find out about the Luo family?"

Shi Liu did not stop it. She thought it would be a good idea to ask around. When she got back, she would tell Mrs. Lu about it. If Mrs. Lu asked in detail, she could explain it more clearly.

As they were talking, they had already arrived at Tianxiang Tower.

It was dinner time and guests were coming in one after another. Judging from their attire, they were all either wealthy or noble.

The five-story Tianxiang Tower is decorated in an elegant and magnificent manner, and is worthy of being the largest restaurant in the capital.

The group followed the crowd into Tianxianglou, and a waiter came forward to greet them, "Do you two ladies have a reservation?"

Liu Yue said, "We haven't made a reservation yet. Are there any private rooms on the fifth floor? Give us one."

The waiter replied, "I'm so sorry, the fifth floor is full, the fourth floor is full, there are still vacancies on the third and second floors, would you like the third or second floor?"

When Liu Yue heard that the fourth and fifth floors were gone, he curled his lips. His father said that if you eat at Tianxiang Tower, the fifth floor has a wide view and the scenery is great. You can even see the imperial palace!
"Then let's go to the third floor." The third floor is also high, so I guess the view should be pretty good too, right?

"Okay! The box on the third floor, please follow me!"

They went up to the third floor and entered a private room, which was divided into an inner room and an outer room, each with two tables. I guess it was specially designed to accommodate servants.

Liu Yue and Shi Liu sat in the inner room, leaving the outer table for Fu Dong, Dong Chu, Nanny Hong, and Ke Hu.

Since it was their first time here, they didn't know which dishes were good, so Liu Yue simply waved his hand and told the waiter to serve the signature dishes of Tianxianglou.

After the waiter took the order, Liu Yue jumped up and moved to the window, waving to Shi Liu to come and look, "Sister Shi Liu, come and look! Looking from up here, the capital is really big, but I can't see where the palace is. I don't think it's on our side - but the view is really good! Next time we come, we must go to the private room on the fifth floor to eat!"

Pomegranate stood up and walked over, looking at the densely packed houses crisscrossing like a chessboard, the streets and alleys winding like veins, with pedestrians dotting the streets like ants.

For a moment, I really felt like I was looking down at the mountains. I wonder what it would look like from the fifth floor? I'm afraid it would be even more exciting, right?

-

At the Luo family, as soon as they entered the mansion, Mrs. Luo's face darkened and she directly ordered the nanny beside her, "Send the second young lady to the ancestral hall. You personally watch her kneel for two hours and let her reflect on herself."

Luo Qianqian was stunned. "Grandma, what did I do wrong? Why did you punish me to kneel in the ancestral hall?"

"Wait until you kneel in the ancestral hall for two hours, then come and tell me where you went wrong." Old Madam Luo said this without saying anything more. She went straight back to Rong'an Hall and asked the maid to call Manager Rong from the outer courtyard. This was her dowry person. She told Manager Rong to remember the date and wait for that day to go to support Shi Liu's new shop.
