Now, he couldn't push Chen Tianhua to wake him up, for fear of irritating the little adult and causing trouble. What would he do?

He thought for a while, and planned to go to other upper rooms first, ask the guests what they needed, and then return to continue serving the little adult.

By then, the little adult will probably wake up too.

He thought so and did so.

So, he opened the outer door of the upper wing, subconsciously looked outside, and then prepared to walk out.

Maybe the action looked a little obscene, but Song Xiaoniu caught him red-handed.

In Song Xiaoniu's only understanding of training, it is clear that no one is allowed to enter or leave the private rooms where important people stay without permission.

Moreover, this person is acting suspiciously.

At this time, a manager of the post house heard the noise and came over. After questioning Yuan Wei, he explained the rules of the post house to Song Xiaoniu, and then the stupid young man understood.

It turns out that in this kind of high-end inn, there are also wingmen.

"You go ahead, I will watch over you, sir." Song Xiaoniu then let go of the postman.

The slightly smaller postman was picked up by Song Xiaoniu and fell to the ground for no reason. Stars were shining in front of his eyes, and he almost received an iron fist. His face was already pale with fear.

When he was asked to leave, he didn't even say hello and ran away.

After the postman left the courtyard, Song Xiaoniu went to the bathroom to wait.

When he went in, he found that Chen Tianhua was still lying in the barrel, sleeping soundly. He couldn't be disturbed, so he had to stick to the edge of the barrel and waxed for more than half an hour.

It is said that Song Xiaoniu was scolded without any thought and left the bathroom with a sullen face.

After Chen Tianhua washed himself with water in the wooden basin, he walked from the bathroom to the outside living room.

Song Xiaoniu was quite well-behaved. He placed the change of clothes, underwear, underwear, and socks in the package beside the couch.

Seeing the eldest young master come out naked, he diligently wiped the water droplets off Chen Tianhua's body with the coarse wool bath towel in the side room, and said at the same time:

"Young Master, you've been soaking in the water for too long this time. I guess it's been quite a while."

Chen Tianhua smiled and ignored it. He put on a clean sweatshirt and underwear, put on his silk and satin outer clothes, hung up his silver waist tag, and then put on his summer soft-soled shoes with shallow toes.

After getting dressed, I looked up at the sky and found that the sun had set and it was almost evening.

"Come on, let's go out to the inn canteen for dinner."

"As ordered." Song Xiaoniu straightened his chest and raised his head.

The two of them came to the front yard of the post house, where there was a dining hall for guests to eat.

The dining hall is very large, with dozens of wooden tables and wooden benches, and seven or eight private rooms on the side, which can be used by the guests to entertain foreign friends. Of course, there is an extra charge.

The two of them ordered their own food in the canteen and ate in the lobby.

The dinner was very sumptuous, including the famous sweet-scented osmanthus duck, roasted old goose, braised chicken, steamed fish, various stir-fries, fresh vegetables, rice, and white flour steamed buns.

Chen Tianhua ordered osmanthus duck, steamed sea bass, braised chicken, fragrant green vegetables, and duck blood vermicelli soup.

For dinner, the hotel also provides alcohol, including rice wine and shochu (white wine).

The two of them ordered two kilograms of rice wine. Anyway, they had nothing to do tonight.

The food was delicious. The two of them drank wine and ate meat. The taste was much better than on the boat on the way.

These dishes are all famous specialties, and the ingredients are exquisite. The conditions on the ship are limited, and they are only cooked from raw to cooked.

Well, this rice wine tastes good. It should be filtered to make it clear, not cloudy wine.

No. 1 Inn, this is a guest house specially set up by Jiangning Prefecture Yamen, and the conditions are naturally higher than those of outside inns.

Whether it's accommodation or food here, the prices are not expensive. Maybe it's because it's semi-welfare for the officials, so you can't make much money.

"Two guests, there is someone outside looking for..."

A waiter came to the table where the two of them were sitting, put a linen towel on his shoulders, and whispered while wiping his sweat.

"Who is looking for us?"

Chen Tianhua was confused when he heard this. He put down the wine cup that was brought to his mouth, raised his eyes and looked at the waiter, wondering.

Damn it, it was our first time in Jiangning Prefecture. We arrived at Xiaguan Pier at around ten in the morning and had a simple lunch on the boat before he and Song Xiaoniu landed ashore.

I hired a carriage at Xiaguan Pier and entered the city, and then stayed at the No. 1 Inn, which is closest to the Liangjiang Governor's Office. It was already afternoon.

No one in Jiangning Prefecture knows us?

Moreover, except for his wife and father-in-law, not even his mother told him about his appointment with Zhang Zhidong in Jiangning Mansion.

Except for a few vice presidents, no one in the bank knew he came to Jiangning.

Who would seek him out in the inn?

"Young Master, I will go back to the house to get the knife..."

Seeing Chen Tianhua suddenly look solemn, Song Xiaoniu, who had just learned to observe colors and understand the eldest young master's temperament, also became nervous.

He figured that the guy who came to his door must not be a good guy, so he got up and prepared to go back to the room to fuck the guy.

"Stop! What are you panicking about?! This is in the inner city of Jiangning Mansion. Not far away is the Liangjiang Governor's Office. Isn't it the Meishan Town where you have been, where you can do whatever you want?"

After all, Chen Tianhua was well-informed. He frowned and waved his hand to stop Song Xiaoniu's reckless behavior, "In broad daylight, let's see who the saint is first."

The inexplicable conversation between the two guest officers and their sudden nervousness made the waiter nervous, "Guard...Guard, please don't get excited. I haven't finished reporting the situation yet. These two are from Liangjiang."

The governor’s office…an official from the gate.”

"What? An official from the Governor's Office?"

The more Chen Tianhua listened, the more confused he became.

Before he showed his face, how did the Governor's Office know that he was coming and staying at No. 1 Post House?

Could it be that Zhang Zhidong sent someone to follow him?

This is impossible and illogical.

It should be at the Xiaguan Wharf or at the gate of Beicheng, or even at various posthouses and inns. There will be dedicated people watching or saying hello. If they see someone named Chen Tianhua on the customs clearance document, they will quickly report it to the Governor's Office.

Chen Tianhua was a high-level spy in his previous life, so it is not difficult to imagine this.

But now he is just a small businessman, how can he attract the favor of the big shot Zhang Zhidong?

Chen Tianhua couldn't help but feel a little flattered.

He stood up and glanced outside the cafeteria. He saw no one, and said to the pair of waiters: "Go and ask them to come in and talk."

After saying that, he straightened his clothes, left the table where the dishes were messy, and sat down in front of an empty table.

"well…"

The waiter left as if he was running away.

After a while, two Qing officials wearing official uniforms walked in.

In front of him was a middle-aged man wearing a blue feather and an azure official uniform, with a heron pattern painted on his chest patch. He was probably a sixth-grade civil servant.

The latter one is wearing a blue official uniform with a quail painted on the chest patch. He should be an eighth-grade civil servant and is obviously a follower of the former one.
