Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Chapter 135 Meeting Zhou Ling at the Pastry Shop

When Ying Tianchen returned to the city in the afternoon, Yun Xi followed him.

Yunxi was riding in their own carriage, which was driven by Guo Wei.

Ying Tianchen originally rode a horse, but now Yun Xi also wanted to go into the city, so he found an excuse to discuss work matters and got into the carriage.

Guo Wei showed a mouthful of white teeth under his beard, "Gee——"

The carriage moved forward slowly, and Yu Fengfeng followed behind on horseback, holding his master's horse in his hand.

The journey which normally took only a quarter of an hour by carriage took more than two quarters of an hour today.

Ying Tianchen was full of praise for Guo Wei in his heart. His vision was much better than Yu Fengfeng's.

After entering the city, the carriage went straight to the pastry shop at the end of Southeast Street.

Originally, there were not many pedestrians coming to the end of this street, but since the pastry shop opened for trial operation, it has been packed with people.

"Miss Yun, Master Chen, the carriage can't pass through."

After the carriage stopped, Guo Wei's loud voice rang out.

Yun Xi lifted the curtain and took a look outside, and saw that the shop was full of pedestrians. No wonder the carriage could not move.

"Okay, let's get off here."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Xi jumped off the carriage, and Ying Tianchen followed closely behind.

Yun Xi looked at him suspiciously, "Why aren't you going back?"

Ying Tianchen touched his nose and said, "Well, Guard Yu said before that he wanted to eat some cakes. We happened to be here, so we went in and bought some."

Yu Fengfeng, who was standing behind the carriage with two horses, was petrified on the spot. When did he say he wanted to eat cakes? He didn't like sweets at all, okay?

Guo Wei's full beard moved noticeably, and he glanced at Yu Fengfeng jokingly.

Yun Xi did not doubt him and walked towards the shop first.

"Yun Xi, why are you here?"

As soon as she entered the shop, Yun Xi heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice. She looked up and saw that it was Zhou Ling whom she hadn't seen for some time.

There were two little girls around her who were about her age.

Yun Xi raised her eyebrows lightly, "Why can't I be here?"

Zhou Ling was very unhappy when she heard Yun Xi's impolite words and wanted to fight back. However, when she saw Ying Tianchen behind her, she immediately calmed down.

"It's not that I can't come, it's just that I haven't seen you for a long time and I'm surprised."

After a pause, she continued, "Yunxi, is this your first time in this pastry shop? This shop is newly opened, and the pastries are delicious. But..."

As she spoke, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed contemptuously, "But this price is not something that ordinary people can afford."

"They also have the most famous lotus cakes from Penglai Teahouse in Xiemu County. Penglai Teahouse charges five taels of silver for a portion, but here they charge ten taels."

Yun Xi looked at her pretending and just wanted to roll her eyes.

Since this person was seen through by her and his elder brother, he stopped pretending.

It seemed like he was introducing the shop, but in fact he was implying that she had no money and should not come to such a high-end place.

Yun Xi followed her words and said, "Well, it's reasonable that this lotus cake is more expensive here than in Xiemu County. After all, this is the capital of our Cangwu County."

Zhou Ling was stunned. Did this person not understand what she meant? Was this what she wanted to say?

"Miss Yun, it's not easy for your elder brother to work and earn some money to support your family. Since we're from the same hometown, I'll buy you a portion to try. Don't come to this kind of place next time."

As soon as she finished speaking, someone next to her started pointing at Yun Xi.

They finally understood that the little girl came from a poor family and yet she came to such an expensive pastry shop to buy pastries.

This is a case of being greedy and not caring about the family at all.

Alas, some people have begun to shake their heads and sigh, saying that this girl is too ignorant.
