"Nobody knows the route my teacher takes, or the time he arrives. But I know that when my teacher left the capital, the emperor had personally seen him off. My teacher had travelled a long way since then. I guess it should be within these couple of days." Ren Yue swirled the wine within the cup by turning the cup in a clockwise direction, then sipped the wine.
"Aiya! So fast! I need to prepare to receive him! Oh yes, may I ask where young master Ren is staying at? If you do not mind, you can stay at my mansion." Governor Zhao heard that Sir Song Tao will be coming to Xianyang within these few days, and was shocked.
This type of important person, that even the emperor personally sent off, will be coming back to Xianyang. He must not be complacent and must make all preparations.
The guest in front of him is also hard to please. Ren Yue had come to Xianyang without informing the office of the governor in advance. If not for the chance encounter with Ren Yue, Governor Zhao did not know he had come to Xianyang either.
A few days ago, Shen Yaoshan is like this. After eradicating the bandits, Shen Yaoshan left the vicinity immediately.
Governor Zhao only caught a glimpse of Shen Yaoshan from afar through the Drunken Immortal Restaurant window. The next day, he sent them off.
The speed at which Shen Yaoshan came and go made Governor Zhao sigh in frustration!
He had already prepared a lot of gifts, from gold, silver, and rare jewellery. But he did not have a single chance to give them to Shen Yaoshan before Shen Yaoshan left.
Although he had missed the opportunity to build relations with the son of the prime minister, the one sitting with him right now is the son of the grand marshal. A few days later, there is also Sir Song Tao. He must grab hold of these opportunities!
Governor was thinking about how to best advance his career aspirations, and his eyes narrowed to slits.
"Thank you for your kind offer. But I am used to having a carefree lifestyle. It is not good for me to stay in your mansion and disturb you as you perform your official duties!" Ren Yue immediately politely declined the invitation. His words leave no room for Governor Zhao to negotiate further.
Governor Zhao wanted to try a different track, but Ren Yue had already raised his palm, indicating to Governor Zhao that he should not continue.
After a short while, Ren Yue said, "Governor Zhao, you are a busy man. Ren Yue takes his leave."
As soon as he said this, with a wave of his cloak, he was gone.
Governor Zhao sighed, "Aiya! Comes like the wind, gone like the wind. Why is all of them like that?"
Ren Yue had left, and his stead, Reflect Snow, also disappeared from the stables.
As if he had never appeared in Xianyang.
Governor Zhao summoned Manager Lee, settled the bill, and left in hurry.

The next day, Wen Rou followed her father to the back kitchen to work as usual. But today the kitchen hands and trainee chefs are huddled together in a circle, and they were discussing something excitedly.
Since the morning is not so busy, Wen Rou crept closer towards them and try to find out what they were talking about.
"Oh, have you seen her yet? Manager Lee's daughter is here!" Er Gou's eyes were opened wide, and he is unusually excited.
"You are talking about Miss Hongxiu? Last year I saw her once, she is as pretty as a fairy." Yuan Zi closed his eyes as he tried to recall the scene. His face is still as round as ever.
"What fairy? I think she is not half as pretty as Rou Er!" Xiao Wu was busy peeling peanuts, as he placed the shelled peanuts into a large bowl and discarded the peanut shells.
"Brother Shi Tou, you decide, who is prettier?" Yuan Zi asked.
"En, based on my observation, Miss Hongxiu is charming, but Rou Er is petite and possesses a natural beauty. I agreed with Xiao Wu, Rou Er is prettier!" Fang Dashi giggled and stand next to Xiao Wu.
"Frankly speaking, I also feel that Sister Rou Er is prettier. If Rou Er wears the fancy clothes that Miss Hongxiu wears, and doll herself up, she will be much prettier than Miss Hongxiu." Er Gou also agreed.
"Puu.." Wen Rou could not resist laughing. This group of kitchen hands did not go to work and gathered around to talk about girls!
"Sister Rou Er!" Fang Dashi heard the sound of laughter and turned around.
"What are you talking about?" Wen Rou pretended that she did not hear anything, and asked.
"Hahaha." A few kitchen hands felt guilty about gossiping and they looked at one another. Then they immediately broke up in laughter. Even Yuan Zi who looked embarrassed as laughed awkwardly.
"Yi, the kitchen is really lively!" A crystal clear voice of a young lady immediately rang out.
"Miss Hongxiu!" The kitchen hands were surprised as they called out.
Oh, they should not have gossip about others behind their back! This morning they had just gossiped about these two ladies, and now both ladies are here!
Wen Rou turned around.
In front of her is a girl of approximately 13-14 years of age, dressed in a figure-hugging yellow dress that revealed her slim figure. She was wearing a cloak made from rabbit fur to keep herself warm on this chilly winter day. The hair on her head was well combed and adorned with pretty hairpins, and her silky black hair naturally hung down and ended in a pretty flower braid.
She is really a beauty.
"Miss Hongxiu." In her past life, Wen Rou had met this young lady before. This young lady is the only daughter of Manager Lee, and everyone greeted her by this name."
"Who are you? How come I never met you before?" Hongxiu eyelashes flutter, and her big round eyes have a friendly look as she glanced at Wen Rou in curiosity.
"Miss Hongxiu, this is my daughter Wen Rou. She had recently come to the Drunken Immortal restaurant to learn cooking from me." Wen Shouzhen heard the commotion, and immediately ran over. He pulled Wen Rou towards himself, and immediately introduced her.
"Wen Rou? Are you Wen Rou? I heard from my dad that you know how to brew wine? That is amazing!" Hongxiu heard the introduction of Wen Shouzhen and immediately grasped Wen Rou's tiny hands and swayed them. Her face was full of envy, and she was very friendly.
"Hehe, it is nothing to crow about. If you like, tomorrow I can make a cup of fruit juice for you to try." Wen Rou looked at Hongxiu and seemed excited to have a friend with the same sex and approximately the same age as her. But in her heart, she was sighing.
"Such a lovely and kind woman, why did she give up on being the manager of this restaurant, and chose to be with the Xianyang's young master Fan Jian instead? Sigh! What a tragedy!" Wen Rou could not help feeling that it is a pity.
In her past life, Miss Hongxiu is pretty and obedient. Manager Lee wanted to find a good husband for his daughter.
Perhaps it is fate, but when Miss Hongxiu came to the restaurant that day, she met young master Fan Jian, who was here to dine.
Fan Jian’s family is quite well to do, and he is handsome and suave. Therefore many young women like him. But who can fathom that this man is a despicable man? Wen Rou recalled that when Fan Jian met Hongxiu, he tried ways and means to get her attention and win her affections, then send a matchmaker to her home to arrange marriage.
The poor and simple Hongxiu had not experienced the ways of men, and could not resist the handsome and suave looks of Fan Jian. Hence she agreed to the marriage. She thought that she had married into a good family.
Aiya! Little did she know that Fan Jian is a man who does not work and indulges himself in drinking, womanizing, gambling and eating expensive food. Hiding under the skin of his charming face is a scoundrel that totally shameless.
That day, he wanted to marry Hongxiu just to curry favour with his grandfather.
Who knows that 3 days after Hongxiu married into that family, the Fan family patriarch passed away due to old age. The Fan family regarded Hongxiu as a cursed bride, and from then on, were cold and cruel to Hongxiu and treated her like a servant. Poor Hongxiu was bullied and her life is hard.
Fan Jian continued to fool around, and one day, while he was visiting a brothel, he was infected with a sexually transmitted disease. He infected Hongxiu as well.
Wen Rou did not want to think about it anymore. Since fate had let her be reborn, then she will not allow the tragedies of the past to repeat itself. She pities and sympathises with Hongxiu. In her past life, she was no better, being betrothed to rascal.
Therefore she would not just allow Hongxiu to suffer the same fate as her past life!
While she was thinking about all these events from her past life, the dining hall was in chaos.
"Old man Qiao had come!" Zhu Zi rushed into the kitchen and shouted.
