Jiang Yuan replied, "I am already twenty this year and an adult."
Fu Yanli smiled fondly, "Here, no matter how old you are, you are still a little girl."
When they first met, Jiang Yuan had just turned fourteen and looked like a child.
Fu Yanli couldn't help but think of the summer when they first met. The little girl was wearing a white half-sleeved and navy blue pleated skirt, sitting quietly on a bench in the courtyard, very quiet.
When I got closer, I discovered that there were beads of sweat on her forehead, her face was slightly pale, and her little hands were clenched and hanging at her sides.
At that time, he was only a 21-year-old boy, and it was not easy for him to say certain things.
He asked the maid to prepare things for her menstrual period, and also asked someone to take an unworn navy blue skirt from his niece's dressing room.
Fu Yanli recovered his thoughts in time, slowed down and walked side by side with her.
Jiang Yuan was a little excited. He was extremely excited to see typical garden craftsmanship in Beijing.
Fu Yanli, who noticed her emotional changes, raised the corners of his lips and asked with a smile, "Yuanyuan, do you like it here?"
Jiang Yuan nodded repeatedly, "I like it very much. Uncle, how did you discover this treasure hotel?"
"To be precise, it's a private restaurant. My friend told me a few days ago that it has started a trial operation."
Jiang Yuan didn't ask any more questions, and looked at the surrounding scenery. It can be said that there is a scenery every ten steps, with pavilions, pavilions, rockeries and ponds, all built to complement each other, making people fall into it for a moment and unable to extricate themselves.
A middle-aged man wearing a Chinese coat walked quickly in front of him. He had a tall and straight figure and a strong scholarly atmosphere.
He wore thick-rimmed black-rimmed glasses and a smile on his lips, "Yanli, you're here."
Fu Yanli nodded slightly and turned to look at the little girl beside him, "Wishong, this is Mr. Shen Xintang of Lianchi."
"Hello Mr. Shen, my name is Jiang Yuan."
Shen Xintang smiled and said, "Are you the niece who likes Su Xicai as Yanli said?"
Jiang Yuan: "..."
It turned out that he had always regarded her as a child in his heart, and even his niece called her.
But she doesn't want to be his niece, she just wants to...
Jiang Yuan put away his complicated emotions and smiled politely.
Shen Xintang thought that the girl was shy, so he turned his eyes to Fu Yanli and extended his hand to invite her, "Yanli, come this way. I have reserved a private room in the Orchid Pavilion."
Even the names of the boxes are so elegant.
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but think of the three characters on the plaque at the gate. He didn't know who inscribed it. The skill and background of the person who wrote the inscription could also be seen from the handwriting.
I have to say, it’s very interesting and I really want to get to know him.
Fu Yanli, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and turned to look at her, "Wish you to follow me, don't get lost."
Jiang Yuan: "..."
Shen Xintang laughed and joked, "Yanli, you are very experienced in taking care of children."
Fu Yanli looked at Shen Xintang, "You are also very eloquent."
Shen Xintang: "No, no, compared to you, I am at a disadvantage."
Fu Yanli: "Lead the way, don't starve my little girl."
Shen Xintang: "Knowing that you were coming, I asked the cook to make preparations in advance. When you enter the house, you can have hot meals and various pastries."
As we talked, we arrived at the elegant room - Orchid Pavilion.
Judging from the handwriting above, it should be written by the same person. Could it be the boss of Lianchiju?
After Shen Xintang brought the people there, he left, leaving only the two of them in the private room.
The interior is warm as spring.
Fu Yanli hung the black coat draped over his shoulders on the screen hanger, looked down at her and said, "Shall I hang it up for you?"
Jiang Yuan was inevitably a little shy when taking off her clothes in front of a man.
Fu Yanli realized and tilted his head slightly.
There was a rustling sound in the air, the sound of the friction of clothing.
Fu Yanli listened to the movement, took the cashmere coat from her hand at the right time, and placed it side by side with his coat.
Jiang Yuan raised his head and glanced, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart. Warmth flowed through, and there was a hint of desire and excitement.
"Do you want to take off your hat?" Fu Yanli asked.
Jiang Yuan shook his head quickly and blocked it with his hand, "No."
Although he was surprised, he didn't say much.
The dining table is made of round golden nanmu and is equipped with four round drum stools. Fu Yanli chose a place to sit.
Jiang Yuan paused for a few seconds and prepared to sit down opposite him.
A magnetic voice sounded at the right time, "Sit over here, why are you so far away?"
Jiang Yuan: "..."
I'm a little embarrassed and don't know what to do.
See she is still standing.
Fu Yanli raised his eyes slightly, "What are you afraid of? Can I still eat you?"
"I'm not afraid of you." Jiang Yuan moved and sat next to him.
Fu Yanli smiled fondly, "Are you hungry?"
"It's okay." Jiang Yuan replied.
In fact, she was already feeling hungry at this time, and Jiang Yuan remembered that she had not eaten lunch.
It's true that love is a mistake. I don't know what unreasonable things she will do in the future.
Just then, an inappropriate voice sounded.
Jiang Yuan was a little embarrassed. She carefully covered her stomach so as not to be heard by him.
Fu Yanli smiled imperceptibly, "Whan Yuan, what did you eat for lunch?"
Jiang Yuan couldn't answer.
She blinked her eyes continuously and said vaguely, "...forgot."
"He is such a little kid, he even forgot what to eat."
Jiang Yuan was a little annoyed and emphasized again, "I'm not young. If you call me young, I'll call you old."
Fu Yanli: "..."
Just at this time.
Shen Xintang walked in with a smile, holding squirrel mandarin fish in both hands, "Here comes the dish."
Jiang Yuan stared at the brightly colored mandarin fish on the plate, with its head raised, mouth open, and tail slightly raised, and swallowed unconsciously. With this shape and smell, it was absolutely authentic.
"Little niece, all the dishes tonight are specially cooked for you." After Shen Xintang finished speaking, he looked at Fu Yanli as if he was taking credit.
The meaning is self-evident.
Shen Xintang suddenly realized that the little girl in front of him was definitely different to Fu Yanli.
Why didn't he bring his niece to dinner? Jiang Yuan has no blood relationship with him.
To put it bluntly, he is just a passerby, and the only one who can be treated like this is the love in his heart.
What's funny is that the dignified President Fu's heart is moved but he doesn't know it.
Shen Xintang didn't intend to tell the truth. He wanted to move the bench and sit in the front row, eating melon seeds and watching the show.
Jiang Yuan turned to look at Fu Yanli, "Uncle, thank you."
"You're welcome. It's up to you to treat me to this meal."
The corners of her lips curved upward, "No problem."
Dishes were presented one after another, and the table was full, including bisnail shrimp, asparagus and lily, crab meat dumplings, three white spring rolls, steamed pork ribs, and a few other dishes that I couldn't name.
Fu Yanli used serving chopsticks to help her pick up the food, "Eat more."
Jiang Yuan said "Yes", "The Su Xi cuisine here is very authentic. Is the chef from the Su Xi area?"
Fu Yanli nodded, "He was specially hired with a high salary."
"I will come here often in the future. It tastes exactly like my hometown."
Hearing this, Fu Yanli twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "It seems that I am right to bring you here today."
Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "You are really discerning."
The little girl used the honorific title again, so naughty.
Jiang Yuan finished the spring rolls and asked seriously, "Uncle, what do you think of the words on the plaque?"
