The tall and restrained man was wearing a dark blue gown, and there was no trace of sadness or joy on his stern face.
Beside him was a beautiful young woman with a shy face. The woman was chasing after Lu Xinghe, but he seemed to be deliberately keeping a distance from her. Every time the woman got closer, he would walk a few steps faster. Step away.
On the other side is a handsome young man wearing a light blue gown, holding a folding fan, talking to him about something, with a relaxed expression.
Wu Yong was a little surprised when he saw Lu Xinghe. Lu Xinghe was obviously Chu Yue's husband, so how could he be entangled with the woman next to him?
Could it be that there was a conflict between the two of them?
In this situation, he should be grateful in his heart, but when he saw Chu Yue's lack of interest, he asked in a low voice, "Should we invite him to join us?"
Chu Yue shook her head, suppressed the emotion in her eyes, and smiled lightly.
"Forget it, don't disturb him. It's rare for me to treat you to a meal. It's just the two of us today."
Next, she didn't even look outside.
Only Chu Yue looked away, and Lu Xinghe looked towards the second floor of Ruyiju as if he had sensed it.
The girl had a slight smile on her face and was talking to the person opposite her. The man sitting opposite her looked at her with concentration and doting in his eyes.
Wu Yong?
Lu Xinghe's eyes darkened and he turned to look at Yuan Yutang beside him.
"Brother Yuan, Ruyiju has arrived."
Yuan Yutang stood in front of Ruyiju, looked at it first, nodded and walked in.
"I heard that Ruyiju's roast goose is very good. Let's try it today."
After Yuan Xueer entered Ruyiju, she also looked around.
"I have long heard that the roast goose in Ruyiju is delicious, but I have never had the chance to come. Today, thanks to my brother, I am allowed to have a meal." After a pause, he said with a hint of disgust, "But this The restaurant looks really lackluster.”
"Aren't all restaurants like this? As long as the food is delicious." Yuan Yutang put his arm on Lu Xinghe's shoulder, "Brother Lu, do you think so?"
Lu Xinghe hummed.
"What Brother Yuan said is absolutely true."
At this moment, the waiter next to the door hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Guest sir, who are you?"
Yuan Yutang raised three fingers and said, "Three."
Seeing the waiter trying to lure him aside, Lu Xinghe hurriedly asked, "Is there any private room available on the second floor?"
When the waiter heard that he wanted a private room, he hurriedly made a gesture toward the second floor to invite him.
"Yes, please come with the younger ones."
…
In the private room where Chu Yue and Wu Yong were, because she was the owner of the restaurant, the people in the restaurant did not dare to be careless and quickly served her order.
Chu Yue looked at the waiter on the side.
"There are a few brothers downstairs. You go ask shopkeeper Tao to make arrangements and serve them more portions of our signature dishes. I will pay later."
The waiter chuckled and said, "The princess is joking, our entire Ruyiju belongs to you, how dare we take your money?"
Chu Yue pursed her lips and finally spoke.
"Go down."
The waiter hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Yes, the princess and distinguished guests may use it with caution. Please leave."
Glancing at the table of delicious food and wine in front of him, Wu Yong looked at Chu Yue in slight surprise.
"Ruyiju, you opened it?"
"Yes and no." She poured a glass of wine for Wu Yong, poured another glass for herself, and then put down the flask. "The shopkeeper of Ruyiju is named Tao, and I am just one of their owners."
Wu Yong nodded.
"I appreciate you inviting me to dinner. I'll settle the bill downstairs later."
Although he didn't have much money and had to support a group of people, he still had enough money for a meal... if he squeezed it.
Chu Yue waved her hand.
"What is our relationship? You also know what my mother's family is like. In my heart, they are not even as close as you. From now on, you will be my brother."
She said, raising the wine glass in her hand.
Wu Yong picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Chu Yue.
After drinking a glass of wine, the strong liquor burned down his throat and reached his stomach, which finally suppressed the unwillingness in his heart.
"Okay, I will be your brother from now on."
Chu Yue just took a small sip. When she saw Wu Yong drank a glass directly, she quickly put a roasted goose leg into his bowl.
"Drinking on an empty stomach will hurt your stomach. Eat something first." She looked at him with a smile and said, "I personally figured out the secret recipe for roast goose here. You can try it and see if it tastes good."
Wu Yong pursed his lips and smiled.
"Since you figured it out, it must taste good."
While the two were talking, they heard a knock on the door. The next moment, a deep magnetic voice sounded outside the door.
"May I come in?"
When Wu Yong heard the sound, he ate the goose leg in his hand and looked in the direction of Chu Yue.
Seeing that she was reluctant to speak, he reminded her in a low voice, "The capital is not as good as Nanping Town. As an official in Beijing, the relationships are complicated and it is difficult for ordinary people to be alone. I saw that he didn't seem to have any intention of letting the woman get close to him just now. How about... …”
At this point, Lu Xinghe opened the door and walked in. Then he turned around and closed the door. After nodding with Wu Yong, he went to sit between the two of them.
Chu Yue rubbed the wine glass with her fingertips, without looking in Lu Xinghe's direction. She lowered her eyes.
"You ran away in the middle, won't your friends be suspicious?"
"I told them that there are friends here, come and stay for a while." Lu Xinghe looked at Chu Yue and explained patiently, "Brother Yuan originally wanted to come to Ruyiju to eat roast goose with me today, but Yuan Xueer wanted to pester me and run out. of."
Wu Yong was a little confused after hearing the conversation between the two.
"No, aren't you a couple? You don't need to hide it like this when you meet, right?"
Chu Yue picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and looked out the window.
"The wedding hasn't been held yet, so it's not appropriate to announce it to the public yet."
? ? ?
Wu Yong looked puzzled.
Could it be that they have been married for so many years and are still not married?
Thinking of Chu Yue's current identity, he suddenly understood Lu Xinghe a little bit more.
Not to mention that Chu Yue is now the princess, when she was still the village princess, she didn't dare to get in front of her when she had nothing.
Lu Xinghe looked at Wu Yong.
"Congratulations, you are now your Majesty's personally appointed General Wu."
Wu Yong stood up and saluted with clasped fists in the direction of Lu Xinghe.
"If it hadn't been for your military instructions and guidance, I probably wouldn't have achieved what I have achieved today. Thank you very much!"
Chu Yue glanced at Lu Xinghe in surprise.
"what are you guys saying?"
Seeing that Chu Yue was willing to pay attention to him, Lu Xinghe reached out and touched her head.
"nothing."
But Chu Yue slapped his hand away and said coquettishly, "It's outside, don't touch it."
Lu Xinghe was not angry because of her actions. Instead, he smiled more and more fondly, "It is true what Madam said, so can I do anything after I get back?"
His deep black eyes looked at Chu Yue, with a hint of nonchalance on his face.
Chu Yue looked at him and was almost sucked in by his dark eyes.
Wu Yong next to him gave a somewhat embarrassed fake cough before Chu Yue came back to his senses.
"Since you are here to eat with your friends, go back and continue to accompany them. If you are here, you will disturb my brother and I."
