Chapter 2709 Review

There are three living rooms on the third floor of the tea house. They are not open to the public and have no seats. They are only for the boss and his wife to live and rest.

Cecil, dressed in fine clothes and jade belt and soap boots, is standing at the door of the third floor, waiting for my arrival.

On his side, Orange Jiemei, dressed in a long skirt, jade hairpin and gold ornaments, with skin as smooth as gelatin and pretty eyes, was also waiting with a respectful look on her face, holding a sleeping baby in her arms.

I nodded slightly at them, and they both responded with smiles.

"I have met you, sir." Cecil and Tachibana Jiemei bowed and saluted.

I waved my hand: "It's very presumptuous of me to come here unexpectedly. I hope you won't be offended."

"No, no, no," Ju Jiemei said with a smile as bright as a flower: "Your Excellency is here, the small building is in full bloom, it's not too late for my husband and I to be happy, how can we blame you?"

My eyes moved to the sleeping baby's face, and I saw his round face and plump cheeks, like a fully inflated balloon. Not only did I feel affection for him: "How old is he?"

Cecil looked at the baby, his face full of love, gently touched his tender face with the back of his index finger, and murmured: "More than one year old."

"It's so cute." I smiled and said, "She looks like a little angel."

After hearing my compliments, the couple smiled like blooming flowers.

"Do you have a name?" I asked again.

"Already taken," Cecil said, "her name is Sejie."

"Not bad, a good name" I complimented politely.

"Have you eaten, sir?" Tachibana Jiemei suddenly asked, "If not, do you want to eat together?"

I nodded: "Okay, I haven't eaten yet, so I'll leave it to you."

Orange Jiemei smiled slightly, handed the child to Cecil to take care of, and walked into the kitchen lightly and quickly with small steps.

"Is business okay?" I asked.

Cecil nodded: "Thanks to you, I have no worries about food and clothing, and am a little bourgeois."

"That's good," I said, "Now Dasai City can be regarded as peaceful and peaceful. Although there has been a slight conquest, it has not reached the level of a major war. This situation will probably continue for a long time."

Cecil smiled bitterly and said: "However, since the old Duke came to power, the tax rate has been increased year by year. The increase is not large, but I am worried."

"Are you worried that the price will suddenly skyrocket?"

"That's not the case," Cecil said, "I'm just worried that taxes will continue to rise like this, one day."

I shook my head: "It should not continue to increase. The old Duke knows very well that if the business world is messed up due to the tax rate issue, his family will no longer want to continue to be based here."

Cecil didn't speak, just nodded silently.

After staring at the sleeping baby for a while, the aroma of the dishes came into my nose. Orange Jiemei carried the plates out of the kitchen as lightly as a butterfly and placed them one by one on the dining table.

Perhaps the scent was too alluring, and Sejie woke up suddenly. Her round eyes, like black pearls, kept spinning, and her little hands started to dance at the same time. She would tug her father's smooth chin for a while, and kick her for a while. My father's arms were not very strong. He opened his small mouth and made a sound of unknown meaning.

Cecil, who was holding Sejie, was like a sculpture, motionless, only laughing and giggling.

Ju Jiemei stretched out her hand and hugged Sejie into her arms. While playing with the baby, she smiled and said, "Eat quickly, the food is ready."

"Thank you."

I got up, came to the table, and sat down with Cecil.

Originally, Cecil wanted me to sit in the guest seat, but I insisted on sitting in the guest seat. He had no choice but to comply with me.

Ju Jiemei’s cooking skills are very good, and the dishes are full of flavor, which makes me want to eat.

During the meal, Saixi repeatedly stretched out her little hands to the steaming stir-fries, but was stopped by Ju Jiemei every time, making the little guy dance in excitement.

Not long after, Tachibana Jiemei looked strange and panicked, looking at me quite eccentricly, and then looked at Cecil as if asking for help.

I looked at her in confusion, not understanding what was happening.

Cecil and Tachibana looked at each other, and seemed to understand something, and said to me apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I'm really sorry, my child peed just now."

I smiled and waved my hand: "When you pee, you pee. If a baby doesn't pee, that would be weird."

Cecil sent Tachibana into the bathroom, and the two of them were busy for a while. I was waiting at the dining table, drinking tea and tasting the dishes, while watching the busy young couple.

After busying for a full quarter of an hour, the two of them finally finished their work. Orange Jiemei changed into new dry clothes, Sejie also changed into new diapers, and the initiator of the farce was sleeping soundly at this time.

Cecil apologized: "He has never peed during meals. This is the first time."

With a little guilt, I asked in a low voice: "Is it possible that I scared him?"

"No, no," Cecil waved his hands repeatedly and said, "There must have been trouble because he was not allowed to touch the food just now."

"Haha" I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Perhaps my laughter was too loud, Sejie's black pearl-like eyes opened again, and I quickly covered my mouth to silence.

After a while, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and soon he fell asleep quietly again.

After the meal, I didn't stay long and got up to say goodbye.

Mr. and Mrs. Cecil wanted to go downstairs to see me off, but I refused.

I left the teahouse and continued to wander on the streets. When I arrived at the former villa, I found that the name on the door had been changed. It was no longer the Fearless Guild, but another unfamiliar name.

When people leave, the tea is cool, but that's all.

After walking around for a while, I met two old neighbors, chatted for a while, and then said goodbye to each other.

Just walking aimlessly and wandering around like this, when my footsteps stopped involuntarily, I looked up and saw a familiar building jumping into my sight.

It stands in the center of the capital, its grandeur is comparable to that of a royal palace, and it is the residence of the high priest of the orc tribe.

Just as I was about to step up the stairs, I found that the guards on both sides were staring at me, so I took my steps back and left slowly.

After walking around for a few more times, I was really bored, so I returned to the palace and stopped a maid and asked Princess Cagalli if she was still with the orc queen?

The maid responded in the affirmative.

Then I asked her to help spread the word that I was resting in the hotel and told her not to worry.

After that, he took out a gold coin from his pocket and put it into her hand.

The maid bowed to thank her and turned to leave.

I strolled in the other direction, and soon came to the door of the front hall. When I looked inside, I saw that the old Duke was still there, working at his desk.

"Busy?" I asked him.

The old Duke didn't even raise his head and replied casually: "What is this after eating?"

"Yeah" I pulled up a chair and sat three or four meters away from him, took a breath and said, "Have you eaten?"

"Not yet." The old Duke was still at his desk reviewing documents. He read quickly and marked even faster, just like the head teacher in elementary school who marked winter vacation homework.
