Chapter 531 [Old 9 Gates 10]
The next morning, the sun shone through the window into the room. Youyou rubbed her sleepy eyes, stretched and sat up from the bed. At this time, there was a knock at the door. Youyou opened the door and saw that it was the people sent by Master Jie Jiu to protect her. These people were dressed in black, looked serious, and had knives hanging from their waists.
They told Youyou that from today on, someone would be responsible for her safety and asked her not to leave the Crescent Hotel.
Youyou was a little unhappy after hearing this, but there was nothing she could do. After all, this was not her home, and she could only obey her brother's arrangements.
Youyou knew that all this was for her safety. However, she felt helpless and bored because of the restrictions on her movements. She could only wander around the Crescent Hotel, hoping to find something interesting to do.
As she was wandering around, she suddenly saw a woman in a green dress. The woman was tall and pretty, with a faint smile on her face, as beautiful as a flower blooming in spring. Youyou looked at her curiously, and a question came to her mind: "Who is this person? Why is she in the Crescent Hotel?"
Youyou approached the woman and tried to strike up a conversation with her.
The woman turned her head, revealing a big smile, with the corners of her mouth curved up, a bright light flashing in her eyes, and said softly: "My name is Yin Xinyue, you can also call me Yin Han." Her voice was gentle and crisp, like the first ray of sunshine in the morning, warm and pleasant.
Youyou was slightly stunned. Looking at the beautiful woman in front of her, she couldn't help but feel curious. She asked softly, "You...are you the eldest lady of the Crescent Hotel?"
Yin Xinyue was slightly startled, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and asked with a smile, "How did you know?"
Youyou blinked, thought for a moment and replied: "The owner of Xinyue Hotel is named Yin. Considering that your name is Yin Xinyue, I can guess it." There was a hint of pride in her tone, as if she was proud of her own intelligence.
Yin Xinyue couldn't help laughing out loud, her laughter was as sweet as a silver bell. She clapped her hands lightly and exclaimed: "Hahaha, you are so smart! By the way, what's your name?"
Youyou smiled and replied, "Jie Youyou."
Yin Xinyue nodded and praised, "Your name is quite nice. You are not from Beijing, are you?"
"Yes, I'm from Changsha." said Youyou.
"Changsha? Is it fun there? I haven't been there yet." Yin Xinyue said.
"Of course it's fun! Changsha has many interesting places and delicious food. Yuelu Mountain, Orange Island, Taiping Street, etc. are all attractions worth visiting. And Changsha's snacks are also very famous, such as stinky tofu, sugar-coated rice cakes, flavored shrimps, etc." Youyou introduced enthusiastically.
"Wow, that sounds interesting. Is Yuelu Mountain very high? Can you see the scenery of the entire city?" Yin Xinyue asked curiously.
"Yes, Yuelu Mountain is one of Changsha's iconic mountains, overlooking the beautiful city scenery. There are also many historical and cultural relics on the mountain, such as Yuelu Academy, Aiwan Pavilion, etc." Youyou answered patiently.
"What is Taiping Street like? Are there many specialty shops and snack stalls?" Yin Xinyue continued to ask.
"Taiping Street is an ancient street that retains many architectural styles from the Ming and Qing dynasties. There are all kinds of small shops where you can buy local specialties and handicrafts. Of course, there are also various food stalls," Youyou introduced enthusiastically.
"It sounds great! I must go to Changsha to take a look. By the way, what are you doing in Beijing?" Yin Xinyue suddenly remembered to ask this question.
"I came here with my brother because we had business to discuss. As for me, I just came to Peking to have fun." Youyou replied.
"Oh, I see. How long will you stay in Peking?" Yin Xinyue asked.
"I'm not sure, but it will probably take some time." Youyou said.
"That's great. You can accompany me during this time. I'm extremely bored anyway and there's no one to accompany me at home. Since you're here, I can take you around Peking." Yin Xinyue said.
"Okay, but let me introduce someone to you. She is my best friend and also my stepsister." Youyou said.
"Who is it?" Yin Xinyue asked curiously.
"Her name is Lin Yueyue. She is a very lovely girl. We have known each other since childhood and have always been good friends. She came with me to Peking this time." said Youyou.
"Wow, that sounds great. I really want to meet her." Yin Xinyue said.
"No problem. I'll take you to meet him later. I believe you will become good friends." Youyou said with a smile.
"That's great, I can't wait to meet her." Yin Xinyue said excitedly.
So, Youyou brought Yin Xinyue back to her room. As soon as she entered the room, Youyou couldn't wait to introduce her to Lin Yueyue: "Yueyue, this is a friend I just met, Yin Xinyue, also called Yin Han. She is the eldest lady of Xinyue Hotel!" After saying that, she blinked mischievously.
Lin Yueyue looked at the lively and lovely girl in front of her, smiled, stretched out her hand, and said friendly: "Hello, Miss Yin, my name is Lin Yueyue, nice to meet you."
Yin Xinyue also politely shook Lin Yueyue's hand back and said with a smile: "Hello, can I call you Yueyue? You can just call me Xinyue."
Lin Yueyue nodded and said, "Of course, Xinyue." The two smiled at each other, as if the distance between them had suddenly been shortened.
"You guys stay with me for the time being. I don't have many friends in Peking. I didn't expect to meet you two who are so much like me. You must stay in Peking for a while. During this time, I will take you to try Peking's various snacks." Yin Xinyue said happily.
"Okay, then we'll trouble Xinyue." Youyou and Yueyue said in unison.
"It's not a problem, it's not a problem. We are all friends. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me." Yin Xinyue said enthusiastically. She felt that she had finally found like-minded friends and could explore this strange city together.
In the following days, Yin Xinyue very enthusiastically invited Youyou and Lin Yueyue to visit Peking together. She wanted them to better understand the city and experience the local culture and food. So the three of them started an interesting trip.
Yin Xinyue took Youyou and Lin Yueyue to a famous snack bar and tasted various authentic Beijing snacks, including noodles with soybean paste, bean juice, fried dough sticks, etc. Each bite was full of strong local characteristics. Then, they went to some historic sites, such as the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace, to feel the charm of this ancient city.
In addition to visiting scenic spots and historical sites, Yin Xinyue also took them to some lively commercial streets. There are various shops here where you can buy many special products. During the shopping process, Yin Xinyue introduced a lot of historical and cultural knowledge about Beiping to Youyou and Lin Yueyue.
Of course, shopping is also an essential part. Yin Xinyue knew that Youyou liked reading, so she took her to a bookstore. There, Youyou picked out a few books that she had long admired, and she was in a particularly good mood. Lin Yueyue was interested in the traditional handicrafts of Peking, and bought a few exquisite small items as souvenirs.
The trip was full and enjoyable. Yin Xinyue took Youyou and Lin Yueyue to walk through the streets and alleys of Peking, tasted countless delicacies, and experienced the unique customs of this city. Through this trip, the friendship between the three people became deeper.
