With money, it was easy to get things done.
The waiter quickly followed Gu Nuo’er’s request and borrowed two sets of clothes from a poor family nearby.
When he brought the clothes up to the teahouse, he was stopped by a servant.
“Sir, what’s the matter?”
The servant quickly handed him a silver ingot and gestured in the direction of Gu Nuo’er’s private room upstairs with his gaze.
“Are you going to bring this to the little young miss and the young master?”
He listened to the profligate young master’s arrangements and had been secretly following Ye Siming and Gu Nuo’er.
There were very few people in the teahouse now, and they were the only ones who had asked for a private room.
Therefore, the waiter’s items must be for those two young children.
The waiter saw his attire and thought that he was a servant brought by Gu Nuo’er.
“That’s right. the little young miss asked for it.”
The servant’s gaze shifted and he asked coldly, “Where did you get this from?”
“Old Liu’s house in the east alley.” Seeing that his expression wasn’t right, the shop assistant was suspicious. “Are you a servant for this little young miss?”
The servant took note of the name of Old Liu’s family but avoided the waiter’s question. “Since it’s what the little young miss wants, hurry up and send it up. Don’t let them wait too long.”
After saying that, the servant quickly turned around and left.
The waiter frowned and muttered, “What a strange person.”
He didn’t think too much about it and sent the clothes into the room.
“Little Young Miss, Young Master, I’ve brought the clothes. However, Little Young Miss is too petite. The smallest piece that I managed to find is probably a little big for you.”
Gu Nuo’er held the clothes in her small hands and checked them out. Her pink lips were soft as she said, “It’s alright.”
It wouldn’t be any worse than wearing the pile of clothes she had on!
The waiter smiled apologetically and said, “This was given to me from a Liu family in the east alley. If Little Young Miss wants to return it, you can return it to them later.
“Old Liu is a very good person. When he heard that the Little Young Miss wanted them, he specially brought two sets of washed and clean ones.”
Gu Nuo’er nodded in satisfaction and the waiter took his leave.
Ye Siming crossed his arms and wore a cold gaze. “I don’t want to change into them.”
Wouldn’t it be more convenient for him to go to the queue and beat up those people who weren’t behaving themselves?
Gu Nuo’er looked at him and puffed up her cheeks. “No! Elder Brother Siming has a handsome disposition and it’s obvious that you’re a young master from a wealthy family.
“By then, not only will I not be able to deceive them into giving me the porridge, but I’ll also be suspected. I won’t be able to observe if they’re honestly giving out the porridge.”
The child ran to Ye Siming’s side and placed the clothes on his lap. She tiptoed and touched his forehead with her fair hand.
“Elder Brother Siming, be good and listen to me~”
She imitated the tone that the noble consort used when coaxing her with the boy in front of her.
Ye Siming gritted his teeth. “Troublesome.”
He looked impatient as if he was unwilling to give in. However, in the next moment, he stood up consciously and took the clothes to the side to change.
Not long later, a pair of “poor siblings” walked out of the private room.
Gu Nuo’er’s clothes were patched up and there was the inner cotton exposed.
She looked very pitiful when wearing these on her petite body.
Ye Siming was wearing thin long cotton clothing and had a bad expression.
Gu Nuo’er handed their clothes to the waiter and said with a smile, “Help us take care of these first!”
After the waiter nodded, the child pulled Ye Siming’s hand and went to the back of the long queue.
The fluttering snowflakes landed on Gu Nuo’er’s hair and eyelashes from time to time, but she didn’t seem to feel cold at all. She looked ahead curiously.
Ye Siming sized them up coldly for a long time and suddenly said, “The people who came to get the porridge are actually all young people. There aren’t any women, children, elderly, or children?”
It was really strange.
Gu Nuo’er also looked ahead when he heard him say this.
They indeed looked young and strong.
