Su Rong spoke in a pleasant voice, soft and shallow, with a slightly lazy tone at the end.
As soon as she spoke, both of them were stunned.
Lu Fengyan took another look at Su Rong. She was obscured by the veil and couldn't see clearly, but she should be a very gentle and easy-going woman. He could only hand it over, "Since the girl said so, then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Yes. I’ll invite you two next time.”
He hesitated for a moment, but still politely did not ask Su Rong's name.
Su Rong thought, Zhou Gu knew people from their articles, and said that Lu Fengyan's articles were too eccentric, but his words and deeds really didn't show that he was very polite and polite.
Compared with Lu Fengyan, Zhao Shu was more carefree, but seeing that Su Rong was covered from head to toe, he didn't feel comfortable asking her name, so he smiled and said, "Miss Feng, thank you very much."
He automatically brought Fengling in. Since she was the elder sister, her surname must be Feng.
Su Rong's name cannot be given casually, so he has no objection to this title.
The waiter brought the menu. Lu Fengyan and Zhao Shu didn't have the nerve to order more. They each ordered one dish and handed it to Fengling. Fengling waved her hand and said to the waiter: "Brother, just use the signboard of your store." All the dishes are served."
When the waiter heard this, he immediately said: "Our store has twelve special signature dishes. The four of you can't eat them. Do you want to serve them all?"
Fengling didn't hesitate, "Of course I'll come." After he finished speaking, he turned to Su Rong and asked, "Sister, if you can't eat it, we can pack it and it won't be wasted, right?"
Su Rong thought that if Donggong didn’t keep dogs or cats, who would he pack them back to feed? The food eaten by the maids and eunuchs in the East Palace is all good, so you don't necessarily want to eat the leftovers? He said, "It's not a good idea to pack this. There are no cats or dogs in the place where we will stay."
Fengling said pitifully, "But I want to eat them all."
Su Rong was also in a dilemma and looked at the two people opposite, "Would you like to trouble the two gentlemen to help pack a bag?"
She thought that there were no beggars or stray dogs and cats in the capital. If there were, it would be simple.
Fengling heard this and looked at Lu Fengyan and Zhao Shu eagerly.
Zhao Shu smiled and said: "Brother Feng, you don't need to order so much. The food in Zhuangyuan Building is very delicious. Aren't you going to live in Beijing for a while? You can come two more times."
Lu Fengyan agreed, "The two of us live together, and there are no cats or dogs in the residence, and it's not convenient to pack."
"Okay!" Fengling didn't expect that the packaging would be the problem. She finally wanted to save money and be generous, but there was no room for him to use it. He could only ask Su Rong with the menu, "Let's order three dishes each? There are eight dishes in total, evenly distributed among the four of us. Each of us has two dishes, so we can definitely finish it."
Su Rong nodded and quickly pointed to three dishes.
Fengling also neatly announced the names of the three dishes, and then asked the two people opposite, "My dear friends, do you want to drink?"
Lu Fengyan refused with a smile, "We'll have to review our books when we go back in the evening. Just have tea. You two can do whatever you want."
"Then let's have tea too!" Fengling ordered another pot of tea.
The boy sent the menu to the kitchen, and soon brought a pot of tea and filled it for the four of them.
Zhao Shu was a talkative, and soon started chatting with Fengling again. Fengling also liked to talk, and asked him about the scenic spots, local customs and customs in Western Sichuan, and then on this topic, he also mentioned how many students would come to Western Sichuan this year. Rushing for exams in Beijing and so on.
Lu Fengyan didn't talk much, and Su Rong didn't speak easily. Therefore, the table could only hear the two people talking back and forth.
The waiter brought the food one after another, and the tangy aroma of the food made the two of them stop talking.
Halfway through the meal, several well-dressed men in brocade robes came in from the door. One of them had a familiar voice, "I just said this is the right time, right? Look, there is no need to wait in line to be seated now."
Su Rong's ears twitched and she turned around to look, thinking what a coincidence she had met Xie Lin and hoped not to be recognized by him.
As he finished speaking, the boy replied with a smile, "It turns out to be Mr. Xie, you are right, you came at the right time."
He wondered, "But why didn't you ask someone to book a private room in advance today?
? Book the private room upstairs in advance so you don't have to wait any time. "
Xie Lin waved his hand, "Today we just go out for a casual meal. It doesn't matter, just sit in the lobby."
The boy smiled and nodded, looked at a group of five or six people, and led the group to a large empty table.
It was a coincidence that this big table was behind Su Rong's table.
Xie Lin walked past Su Rong, walked to the back and sat down, and then started to order. The people who came with him listened to him the whole time, and no one had any objections. After ordering the dishes, Xie Lin ordered another drink, and then said to his colleagues The person said: "The Zuihua Drink is sold out again, otherwise we will go to Yingke Square to have two drinks today. The strongness of the Zuihua Drink is what makes it taste good."
"It is said that this Zuihuayin is produced in Jiangzhou?" one person asked.
"To be exact, it's produced in Jiangning County." Speaking of this, Xie Lin said, "I have also been to the small brewing workshop and met the proprietress there."
"It's actually a small workshop?" One person was surprised.
"Yes." Xie Lin said: "You can't think of it, right? It's just a tavern and a small courtyard where wine is brewed. When I returned to Beijing, because I didn't have enough private money, I brought back ten jars. After I returned to Beijing, I found out that this wine was actually being sold. When we come to the capital, an altar costs two hundred taels of silver, but in Jiangning County, it only costs one hundred taels of silver."
"It's increased so much?" One person was dissatisfied. "The capital is not too far from Jiangning County, right? Isn't the increase in shipping costs too much?"
Xie Lin shook his head, "I think it's still acceptable. After all, when people come to the capital to open a store, they need to buy a shop and hire people. Plus shipping costs and damage on the road, this is the price."
"That's true." The man was speechless.
The group of people sat lively in the Zhuangyuan Building and discussed the drunken flower drinks in the reception hall. They didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and the discussion was very lively.
As they arrived, Zhao Shu and Fengling automatically stopped talking and listened to the people at the back table while eating.
Someone asked Xie Lin, "Xie Lin, I heard that you went to Jiangning County to live with Zhou Gu in Jiangning Prefecture? Not only that, when you returned to Beijing, you also followed Zhou Gu and the Jiangzhou talented man Su Xingze back to Beijing?"
"Well, what's wrong?" Xie Lin asked.
"Nothing, we just want to know, what does Su Xingze look like? It's been a month since he came to Beijing and he hasn't gone out. This is too mysterious," one person said.
Xie Lin made a sound and lowered his voice, "It's not my fault, Brother Su. He was finally dragged out by me to play in Juxian Building that day. I specially booked a private room, but who knew that his buttocks were still hot? , Yan Li came to his door, Yan Li acted like he was looking for trouble, how could Brother Su think of causing trouble?"
The man was puzzled, "Then why did Su Xingze offend... Oh, I remembered it, because Zhou Gu brought down Jiang Sheng."
"That's right, that's right, okay, don't talk about it, just know it in your heart." Xie Lin waved his hand, not wanting to say more.
As soon as he said this, several people also avoided the topic. Speaking of Zhou Gu, "Zhou Gu has been to Jiangning County this week, and he doesn't go out to play often after returning to Beijing. He is nowhere to be seen." Yes, I heard that he honestly studied at home, which is really new. When did he take the scientific examination seriously?"
"Go, don't say that. The scientific examination is a big deal, sacred and solemn. Why can't Zhou Gu take it seriously?" Xie Lin was afraid that his words would be heard by interested people, so he labeled Zhou Gu as contemptuous of the imperial scientific examination.
"Oh, Xie Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time. Brothers have noticed that you have changed. You and Zhou Gu had a lively fight over Miss Qin. How come you two reconciled in such a short period of time? You are better than before. ? They all spoke up to defend him."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the group wanted to know what was going on.
Xie Lin proudly said: "He took the initiative to reconcile with me, saying that he realized his mistake and could not forgive me, so I reluctantly agreed to reconcile with him."
Everyone obviously didn't believe it, "Is this the case? Will Zhou Gu take the initiative to apologize?"
"I haven't apologized. The apology is genuine." Xie Lin's expression couldn't be more sincere. "If you don't believe it, ask Zhou Gu yourself another day."
Everyone sighed, "Oh, Zhou Gu
When did your temperament change? This is not something he would do. "
Xie Lin muttered, feeling jealous and envious at the same time, "Because I have a good fiancée!"
Everyone was stunned.
Su Rong didn't expect to hear someone talking and heard it on her. She calmly picked up a piece of crispy chicken for herself. She gently lifted the gauze of the curtain with one hand and held chopsticks in the other hand, revealing her lower jaw and continued eating with gusto.
Fengling also picked up a piece of crispy chicken for herself, raised her ears, and listened while eating.
But Xie Lin was a very particular person. When he saw everyone looking at her with searching expressions on his face, he waved his hand and said, "It's not good to openly talk about someone else's fiancée. Let's talk about something else!"
Everyone was speechless. They were not allowed to mention this or that. How could we talk today?
See you tomorrow~
