Chapter 242 - 242 Delivering Tea

242 Delivering Tea

“Well…” The waiter of Tianxiang Restaurant carried a small box of tea leaves to the entrance of Fragrant Garden.

This was the first time he had come to such a place in his life. He immediately swallowed hard when he saw the dazzling decorations in front of the door.

“Goodness! This place is much more imposing than Tianxiang Restaurant! No wonder so many high-ranking officials and nobles like to come here!” The waiter kept muttering, but his footsteps were cautious.

He had just taken two steps forward when he saw a gorgeously dressed woman walking over quickly.

!!

“Yo, this young man looks unfamiliar!” When the brothel keeper saw that the waiter was dressed like a servant, she didn’t look down on him, but she didn’t lead him in directly.

When the waiter saw the brothel keeper, he immediately lowered his head and didn’t dare to look at her.

He handed the tea box in his hand forward. “This was ordered by a girl from Tianxiang Restaurant today. She asked me to send it over later.”

The brothel keeper looked down at the box. It was an exquisite box, and the aroma of tea leaves emitted from it. It didn’t seem fake.

A girl?

Could it be that it was ordered by her master?

However, her master had gone out early this morning and had yet to return…

“Is the girl you’re talking about the girl living here? What does she look like?” The brothel keeper asked again to confirm just in case.

The waiter stammered, but he didn’t know how to describe her. After a long while, he simply said, “A very beautiful girl.”

Hearing the waiter’s words, the brothel keeper couldn’t help but chuckle.

She turned slightly to make way and beckoned him in. “Look, which girl here isn’t beautiful?! Huh?”

Upon being asked by the brothel keeper, the waiter looked into the door and saw a few girls looking in their direction curiously. They were smiling as they chatted about something.

The waiter immediately blushed and his palms began to sweat. “No… it’s not them!”

The brothel keeper turned around and said to the girls, “What are you looking at?! Hurry up and prepare! Guests are coming tonight!”

The girls snickered as they turned to leave.

The waiter heaved a sigh of relief, but the tea box in his hand felt even heavier.

“These… these tea leaves…” After the commotion just now, the waiter stuttered even more.

He had seen many good-looking girls before, but those people had never given him the time of say. It was already a blessing for them to pay him any attention at all.

How could he have a chance to stand in front of a group of girls and be watched by them like just now?

The waiter’s face turned redder as he thought about it.

When the brothel keeper saw the waiter’s bashful look, she chuckled. “Since you can’t tell me who ordered it, I can’t accept it.”

“Then, what should I do?” The waiter was in a difficult position.

The brothel keeper thought about it for a moment and said, “Why don’t you sit in the tea shed outside for a while and wait until you see the girl you mentioned?”

The waiter looked helpless, but the brothel keeper had no intention of backing down.

She didn’t dare to accept things from others so easily anymore!

Back when Pavilion Master Zi Xuan was still around, she had almost been stripped naked and tied to a pillar outside the Fragrant Garden because she had once accepted a few things sent by a clan.

Although the two current masters didn’t seem to have a fetish for abusing people, perhaps they would punish her for causing trouble for them.

Just as the brothel keeper was wondering what to do, she saw Kong Rui walking over leisurely.

The waiter also saw Kong Rui and as if he had seen his savior, he rushed over with the tea box.

As Kong Rui held the gifts she had bought for Kong Yao and Kong Shu with both hands, she almost bumped into the waiter.

“Eh? Why are you here?” Kong Rui looked at the blushing waiter in confusion. “Also, your face is…”

The waiter handed the tea box to Kong Rui. “Miss, the tea leaves you wanted are here!”

Before Kong Rui could react, the waiter turned around and was about to run.

After Kong Rui hugged the box. she immediately shouted, “Stop!”

Before the waiter could react, he saw a black shadow suddenly appear in front of him.

The black shadow reached out and grabbed the waiter’s shoulder, freezing him in place.

Kong Rui looked at Ling Nuo, who had suddenly appeared, in satisfaction and gave him an approving look.

Ling Nuo immediately raised her chin proudly as she said to the waiter coldly, “Why are you running?! Didn’t you hear her calling you?”

The waiter turned to look at Kong Rui aggrievedly. “Miss, do you… have any other instructions?”
