Chapter 124 We're not in a hurry
Zhou Hanzhang briefly explained the symptoms of pollen allergy to them.
"Pollen allergy is that serious?" The group of people were somewhat incredulous upon hearing this.
Zhou Hanzhang nodded seriously, "That's right. Putting aside whether we're allergic to pollen, it's not appropriate for us to give flowers to someone we've just met. I think General Gu's idea is pretty good. We can take advantage of our new arrival in the town and pay her to show us the way, and also get to know her better."
"But we refused when she said she would have someone show us around?" Gu Qingfeng suddenly said.
……
Everyone has forgotten about this.
“Um,” Zhou Hanzhang thought for a moment, “then, looking at the map, we feel that they are more familiar with it, so we’ve decided to have Liu Niang show us around first?”
Seeing that they were discussing, Shi He said to Zhou Hanzhang, "Young Master, I'll go and arrange for the secret guards to see if we can find any information about His Majesty and the Master. We'll split up and act separately."
Zhou Hanzhang nodded, and then jumped out of the window and disappeared from their sight in an instant.
Gu Qingfeng looked at the window he had jumped out of, and went to take a look. He then discovered that below the window was a large lotus pond, filled with water, with a few withered lotus flowers and yellowed lotus leaves, with lotus pods on top of the leaves.
He stared in disbelief and exclaimed, "I never knew he was so amazing! Such a huge lotus pond, I don't know how he managed to stay completely dry."
General Gu also walked over and saw the huge lotus pond. He recalled that He Shi's hair was perfectly styled and his clothes were neat and tidy, without a single drop of water. He looked at He Shi with new respect.
He turned to look at Zhou Hanzhang, "I never imagined the Zhou family's wealth had reached this level; even a mere servant's skills are so formidable."
Zhou Hanzhang didn't actually know when he became so capable. In her mind, she had always just thought of him as someone who was good at handling things and had a little bit of martial arts skill.
At this moment, she also saw the lotus pond. Without a certain level of skill, it would be difficult to achieve the same effect as before.
It seems that his beautiful mother had initially placed the most capable person in the family on him.
Suddenly, I felt a surge of emotion.
Although Xiao Ba said that the original Zhou Hanzhang was also herself, she still felt in her heart that they were two different people.
"My mother was probably worried that something might happen to me, so she arranged when he would come to my side. I didn't know much about his skills before, but now it seems that my mother has arranged for the most capable people in our family to be by my side."
Zhou Hanzhang explained to them.
Both father and son of the Gu family revealed a deep sense of envy.
"Anyway, it won't be dark for a while. Shall we set off now to find Liu Niang?" Zhou Hanzhang asked General Gu.
General Gu was not the type to dawdle. Since he had made the decision, he hoped things would move forward quickly, so he nodded.
Even so, the three of them moved slowly to Liu Niang's side, as if their feet were filled with lead.
When Liu Niang saw the group coming down together, she immediately smiled and asked, "Are you going out, guests?"
She glanced at the sky. "Now is the perfect time to go out. It won't be too hot. You can wander around outside until dark. Our town has a unique charm after dark."
The group watched as Liu Niang introduced the town to them, but no one stepped forward; they just stood there, stunned.
Looking at the motionless General Gu, Zhou Hanzhang secretly pulled Gu Qingfeng back two steps, placing him behind him.
Upon seeing this, Liu Niang smiled at General Gu and said, "Is there anything you need? No problem, just tell us and we'll see if we can help. Meeting the needs of our customers is the service principle of Yunju."
General Gu then realized that Zhou Hanzhang and his son had retreated behind him at some point, leaving him alone to face Liu Niang.
His face instantly turned bright red. "I...I...I..."
I hesitated for a long time, but couldn't utter a single word.
Liu Niang looked at him suspiciously, "Is the guest feeling unwell? Is there some ailment that's difficult to talk about?"
Upon hearing this, General Gu was in a panic. He couldn't let the person in front of him suspect that he was sick. "No, I'm not sick, I'm just... I'm just a little hot."
"Many people will find it difficult to adjust when they first arrive in Jiangnan, so please be careful, drink plenty of water, and get plenty of rest. Why don't you stay home today and rest well for a day before going out? Didn't you say you still have plenty of time?"
"Yes...yes," General Gu's mind was almost completely blank.
He glanced at Zhou Hanzhang subconsciously, then suddenly had a bright idea. "These two kids next to me insist that I take them out for a walk, and I have no choice."
He took out the map that Liu Niang had given him. "I'm not very good at reading this map. I wonder if you could..."
Before General Gu could finish speaking, Liu Niang took the map and unfolded it, asking, "What don't you understand?"
"Uh……"
General Gu was caught off guard by Liu Niang's directness.
He took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and mustered his courage to say, "It's like this, we went back and thought about it, and we think you're right. It would be better if someone could show us around than if we explored on our own. So I was wondering if you have the time to show us around?"
After General Gu finished speaking, he visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Niang had originally intended to explain to them in detail how to read the map, but after listening, she put the map down, indicating that it wasn't a problem with her own map.
She smiled and said, "I told you, it's always better to have someone guide you. How about this, if you don't mind, please wait for me a moment. I'll take care of things here first, and then I'll take you out, okay?"
"Good, good, good." General Gu said "good" three times in a row, then stretched out his hand, unsure of what to do next.
Seeing his reaction, Liu Niang couldn't help but laugh again. She handed the map to General Gu, saying, "Keep this map for now, and return it to me when you leave."
General Gu held the map in his hand, unsure where to put it, but it was better than having nothing at all.
Liu Niang glanced at Zhou Hanzhang and Gu Qingfeng behind him. "You two are young, so you should be able to understand it a little. This map of mine is not an ordinary map. It only marks some famous places and foods in the town. If you look at it according to a traditional map, you may not understand it. Just look at the places that are marked, and you can follow the route to see them."
"It's alright, it's alright, we're not in a hurry. We're just waiting for you to take us on a good tour later." Gu Qingfeng looked at Liu Niang with anticipation.
Seeing this, Liu Niang didn't say anything more. "That's fine then. You can go back to your rooms and rest for a while. I'll take you out after I've finished what I'm doing."
