Found the real lifesaver! _2 Her younger brother, who was well-travelled and handsome, attracted numerous women who wouldnât consider marrying anyone else. Even the daughter of the leader of the Desert Country, whom he did not bother to give much attention to.
He even avoided accepting two concubines.
Du Jiaojiao continued, âLittle brother, I think you should reduce your reading of those Buddhist scriptures, at this rate, you might as well become a monk.â
Master Du sighed, âMaster Wuchen said my six senses are impure, so he refused to take me as his disciple.â
âYou actually want to become a monk! Have you gone mad?â Du Jiaojiao widened her eyes in disbelief, her voice several decibels higher!
Master Du smiled, seeming rather amused by the whole scene.
Du Jiaojiao continued, âOur mother only has you as her son. You canât give up on life so easily!â
The âMotherâ in her words was Master Duâs biological mother.
Their father was a notorious womanizer, his legacy littered with the hearts of countless women.
Master Du switched his Buddha beads to the other hand. âYouâre overthinking things, second sister.â
If Master Wuchen didnât accept him as a student, there was still plenty for him to do in mundane life. He had no plans to become a monk anytime soon.
Du Jiaojiao noticed the Buddha beads in Master Duâs hand and asked, âYouâve been using these Buddha beads for so many years. What are they made of? Theyâre of such good quality!â
âXiaoye red sandalwood.â Master Du replied.
Du Jiaojiao extended her hand, âLet me have a look.â
âNo.â Master Du refused.
âWhy?â Du Jiaojiao asked.
Why couldnât she see the simple strand of Buddha beads?
Master Du continued, âThese Buddha beads have gained spiritual energy over the years. Except for me, no one else has ever touched them. If you like them, second sister, I can have our people bring you a few more strands to choose from. However, this one is off-limits.â
Du Jiaojiao asked, âI canât even look at them?â
âNo.â Master Du replied.
In actuality, Master Du was overly territorial about his belongings. He didnât even allow others a lingering glance, not even his mother.
âTch, so stingy!â Du Jiaojiao huffed, âI donât want to see it then.â
Master Du continued, âYou must be hungry from your long journey, second sister. I know a great restaurant. Would you like to go?â
Upon hearing about food, Du Jiaojiaoâs spirits quickly lifted, âSure!â
The two of them made their way to Guose Tianxiang.
Over the years, Du Jiaojiao had visited more than a dozen countries and seen countless restaurants.
But it was the first time she had come across one like Guose Tianxiang.
More than a restaurant, it was like an art gallery!
Awe-inspiring!
Du Jiaojiao exclaimed, âGoodness! I canât believe thereâs a restaurant like this in Beijing!â
Master Du said, âMy reaction was exactly the same when I first came here.â
Du Jiaojiao continued, âWhoâs the owner of this place?â
Master Du shook his head.
He too was curious about the owner of the shop, but their privacy was well-guarded, so he couldnât find out.
Laughing, Du Jiaojiao said, âHow mysterious.â
As they entered a private room, Du Jiaojiao couldnât help but exclaim again. She pulled a waitress aside and asked, âYoung girl, the garment youâre wearing is really beautiful. Is this a vintage piece? Where did you get it?â
All the waitresses at Guose Tianxiang underwent professional training, âDear customer, the dress Iâm wearing is called Qiru, a traditional Han costume. Itâs custom-made from a factory by our boss.â
Upon hearing this, Du Jiaojiaoâs curiosity about the owner of Guose Tianxiang piqued even more, âYoung girl, whoâs your boss?â
The waitress shook her head, âIâm not really sure, Iâve never seen our boss.â
So, the owner of Guose Tianxiang wasnât a simple character.
Du Jiaojiao asked, âIf youâve never seen your boss, then whoâs responsible for running the restaurant now?â
The waitress replied, âCurrently, our restaurant is being managed by the manager.â
Du Jiaojiao nodded, âOkay, bring me the menu.â
The waitress handed Du Jiaojiao the menu.
Du Jiaojiao looked up at Master Du, âLittle brother, what would you like to eat?â
Master Du glanced at Du Jiaojiao, âIâm vegetarian.â
Du Jiaojiao shook her head in disbelief, âYou recite scriptures, wear Buddha beads, and eat vegan. Anybody who didnât know better would think youâre a monk. Youâre just so boring. Iâll have this grand spread, this gold-plated bounty and thisâŠâ
In one breath, Du Jiaojiao ordered a long list of dishes, considerately adding three vegetarian dishes for Master Du.
âWould you like anything to drink?â The waitress asked.
Du Jiaojiao thought for a moment, then said, âOh, my skin has been in terrible condition lately. Itâs so dry and uncomfortable. Letâs have a lemon water.â
