The next day, the waiter brought a thin, middle-aged man to Bei Yutang.
“Madam, this is Zhao Erhu, a well-known figure in the city. If you need anything or need help finding someone, just ask him.” The waiter said enthusiastically.
Bei Yutang thanked the waiter and turned to the middle-aged man.
Zhao Erhu said, “Madam, what do you want to ask me?”
“I’m looking for a place to stay in Linzhou Prefecture. It doesn’t have to be a big house, but it must have a yard.” Bei Yutang stated.
“We do have houses with yards, but they’re more expensive.”
“The price is negotiable. The most important thing is that the house is suitable.”
“How long would you like to stay?” Zhao Erhu continued.
“I’ll be leaving in a month or two.”
“Okay, I’ll help you find a house later.”
After Zhao Erhu left, Bei Yutang took Xiao Zimo and Daixiang to explore Linzhou Prefecture, getting to know the local area.
Daixiang had never been to such a large place before, so her eyes darted around in wonder.
Xiao Zimo, on the other hand, remained remarkably calm. Even amidst the bustling bustle of Linzhou Prefecture, his expression remained impassive, a familiar one, mirroring Bei Yutang’s.
“Sister Mu, Linzhou City is so big and bustling.”
Bei Yutang spotted a candy figurine vendor and bought a string of figurines for Daixiang and Xiao Zimo.
Holding the figurines in his hands, Xiao Zimo said, like a grown-up, “Mom, I’m grown up now. This doesn’t suit me.”
Bei Yutang found it amusing to see the little brat, barely taller than her waist, pretending to be grown-up with a stern face. She reached out and flicked his forehead gently.
“Wait until you’re taller than Mom before you say that.”
Daixiang found the young master’s pouting, his expression of frustration, truly endearing. She longed to hold him in her arms, but she didn’t dare act rashly.
“Sister Mu, it’s so lively over there.” Daixiang pointed to a large shop not far away.
Bei Yutang immediately noticed that the shop belonged to the Lei’s Trading Company.
“Hurry, hurry over there.”
“Hurry and grab a position.”
Two women hurried past them, chattering nonstop.
Daixiang asked curiously, “What are they selling over there? It’s so lively.”
A middle-aged woman nearby said, “I heard they’re selling Bing Ji Cream, so everyone’s rushing over to get it.”
“Bing Ji Cream? What is that?”
Daixiang didn’t know what Bing Ji Cream was. After all, such a thing was too far away from her.
“Little girl, you don’t even know what Bing Ji Cream is. It’s a tribute, worth a thousand gold. The ladies in the palace are vying for it. Even many noble ladies in the neighboring country of Southern Tang are trying their best to buy this Bing Ji Cream.” The woman said with pride.
Daixiang was intrigued by the woman’s words.
“Sister Mu, let’s go take a look too.”
Bei Yutang wasn’t really interested, but seeing her excitement, she agreed to go over and take a look.
Before the three of them got close, they saw a long line at the door, and the line was still growing.
Xiao Zimo knew that the Bing Ji Cream was developed by his mother. Seeing so many people like it, a hint of joy appeared on his tense little face.
As soon as they got closer, the clerk in the store came out and said to the people queuing outside: “Go away, the Bing Ji Cream is already sold out.”
