In the Zuixian Building, Xiao Rui muttered softly as he went up the stairs, Cheng Huaimo was the same, hadn't he been taught enough at home? Why did you dare to come to this Zuixian Tower after being released so quickly? Or make an appointment at the last place? Could it be because of the medicine last time?
Just as he was talking, he came to the door of the box and opened the door and went in: "Huaimo, I think you are a good boy...ah? I'm sorry I went to the wrong place."
What caught his eye was a beautiful and well-dressed woman. Xiao Rui quickly apologized and left, looking up at the door number, "No, I didn't go wrong. Girl, you..."
The beautiful woman inside covered her face with a handkerchief and couldn't help but smile shyly: "Call me girl? Why, you really can't recognize me? I asked Cheng Huai to make an appointment with you silently. He was timid and ran away in advance."
ah? ? You, you are... Li Shengnan?
Seeing that Xiao Rui was so nervous that he didn't dare to enter and was stammering when he spoke, Li Shengnan spat, "Does it scare you to change into women's clothes? Come in quickly."
ah? oh oh.
Xiao Rui, who came back to his senses, quickly laughed with her. After all, she is also his fiancée. She can't just turn around and run away, right? Meeting each other on our own turf and living in the same room... Bah! Let alone meeting each other and being in the same room together, so what if we do things in advance? What am I afraid of?
Thinking of this, Xiao Rui couldn't help but become bold, and even after entering the house, he took the initiative to look at the fiancée dressed as a woman.
Such a presumptuous and bold move actually made Li Shengnan feel timid. He couldn't help but shyly turned his head away and complained: "Have you seen enough? How can you look at other girls like this?"
Xiao Rui said with a smile: "No, how could you have seen enough? Besides, it doesn't seem illegal to see that your fiancée is not someone else, right? Last time you were a woman disguised as a man and didn't look carefully. This time is different. You have to be careful. Look. She looks good without wearing women’s clothes. Why do she wear men’s clothes? And she’s named Shengnan? It’s like your family is short of men?”
Li Shengnan explained: "The name was given by my grandmother, which means who said that women are inferior to men. I rarely wear women's clothes because it is convenient for practicing martial arts and for competing with others. This time, this time I changed into clothes specially..."
After saying the last sentence, her pretty face turned red all the way to her ears, and she almost buried her head in her chest.
"Okay, lower your head and bury it... ahem, bury it in the cloak. When my restaurant was renovated and designed, there were heating ducts, so the room is as warm as spring, so you don't need to wear such a thick cloak." Saying that, Xiao Rui started to help the other party take off the red fox fur cloak as if he were familiar with it.
Although Li Shengnan was shy, he thought that he would marry him soon, so he did not refuse. It was the first time to get along with a man in such a private way, so I was a little timid and unaccustomed to it.
Xiao Rui sat generously next to the beauty and asked curiously: "Tell me, why do you want to see me?"
"Can't I come to you if nothing happens?" Li Shengnan asked.
Forehead……
Are all girls like this?
"How could it be?" Xiao Rui said with a smile: "Then why use Cheng Huaimo's name? Just ask someone to tell me. If you ask that boy Cheng Huaimo to invite me, I may not be free."
Pfft... Li Shengnan couldn't help but laugh, rolled his eyes, and thought to himself, Xiao Rui can also flatter you.
"It's always inconvenient for me to live in a girl's house."
Xiao Rui laughed so hard that his stomach ached, "Shengnan, then you didn't expect that it would be more inconvenient for a girl to have other boys send messages to her fiancé?"
ah? ? I……
Only then did Li Shengnan realize that something was wrong, and quickly explained: "I didn't think about it that much. I usually practice martial arts more, and I'm used to getting along with them. I'm not very good at it... I won't do it next time. I'll let my brother go next time. "
Seeing the shy Li Shengnan, with her pretty face like a red apple, nervously rubbing the corner of her clothes, like a child who made a mistake, Xiao Rui couldn't help laughing. He took Li Shengnan's hand and comforted him: "Don't think so much, I understand. I'm just joking with you. If anyone dares to gossip like this, I'll tear his mouth apart."
"Oh... you, you..."
Li Shengnan retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted, "How could you do this... Although, although we have an engagement, but..."
Xiao Rui understood that this girl had nothing to do with him today. She probably just wanted to meet him, so he stood up, rubbed her hair and comforted her: "Okay, don't be hesitant. What do you want to eat? Just order whatever you want. Here It’s our own family’s property.”
"Ah? As long as you don't do anything, you can eat anything." Li Shengnan whispered.
Xiao Rui rolled his eyes, who do you think I am?
"Okay, I'll order a few signature dishes and you can try them one by one. Have you been here before?"
Li Shengnan shook his head: "No, my grandfather is an honest official. Our family is very strict, as are my father and uncle. I heard that Zuixianlou earns a fortune every day. It is the most expensive restaurant in Chang'an City. A meal costs at least dozens of dollars." Two pieces of silver, I’ve never been here.”
Xiao Rui sighed: "Your grandfather is the Minister of the Ministry of War. How can he be so poor? It's too harsh. It's just a meal... Haha, but that's fine. I opened the restaurant just to kill the rich and help the poor, and make money from the rich. It’s not about making money from honest officials.”
"Ah? Killing the rich and giving to the poor? Are you, is your restaurant a black shop?" Li Shengnan exclaimed.
Xiao Rui explained: "It's just an analogy. Those big nobles and big families don't care about the money for this meal, so they come here often. And most of their money comes from the people's wealth, so let them voluntarily spend thousands of dollars here. Isn't it just killing the rich? After the restaurant makes money, except for its own operating expenses, most of the other money is sent to the national treasury and finally spent on civilians. This is to help the poor."
"Oh...it turns out that you are killing the rich and giving to the poor. I thought you were a black shop. So, the rumors outside are all false. They say that you are the evil star of Chang'an and the richest man in Chang'an. You are unkind for the sake of wealth...It turns out that you are a good person. ." Li Shengnan looked at Xiao Rui again.
Xiao Rui patted his chest and said confidently: "Of course he is a good person. If I were an evil person and my ruthlessness was known throughout Chang'an, wouldn't Your Majesty have taken me down long ago? The people I punish are all evil people. In the eyes of evil people, of course I am an evil star. No. Enough of that, I’ll go make arrangements for a big dinner.”
When Xiao Rui came back after making arrangements, Li Shengnan looked at him in a daze and whispered: "I, I want to get to know you, can you tell me about you? The relatives at home are all talking about you. Some people say hello. Some people say you are fierce, but it sounds like you are not a human being."
Xiao Rui joked: "Aren't you afraid that I will fabricate the image of a good person and deliberately deceive you?"
Li Shengnan also smiled, "If you're not afraid, then you are a big liar. For me, it's the same as knowing you."
A voice came from outside the door, "If you want to understand him, you can't listen to him. How about letting me tell you?"
The two of them turned around and saw that the door of the box opened and two figures, one large and one small, walked in.
Xiao Rui immediately covered his face, wondering why it was so small. Why did Xiangcheng and Changle come to eat today?
