The restaurant in Bieyuan is very large, with handicrafts and antiques filled with solid wood partitions and display cabinets.
However, what attracted Tang Xiaowan the most was the root carving.
One of them was directly behind where she was sitting and could be seen from the side.
Wow, this peony is carved just like the real thing!
It turns out that my aunt also likes root carving, so why have I never heard that guy Li Zishen talk about it?
Tang Xiaowan thought so, and stood up. She couldn't help but stretched out her hand, as if she had touched the layers of petals through the thick glass.
"It's so beautiful, so beautiful!"
"Xiao Wan, your carving skills are also very good. Let's bring one from Meiyuan later." Li Zi said with a deep eyebrow and a smile.
Oh, I forgot, I can also carve.
What a pity. I was in such a hurry when I went back last time that I didn't even bother to look at the storage room. I just stared at the study and bedroom.
Tang Xiaowan looked embarrassed: "My skills are just small tricks. Will moving here..."
"It's pretty good, each has its own merits."
"Oh, let's go back in the afternoon. I have to make a good choice."
Hearing this, Li Zishen's jaw tightened immediately, and an elusive smile flashed through his bright phoenix eyes: "Well, okay, let's go after dinner."
A bright smile bloomed on Tang Xiaowan's face.
Great, we can go back to Meiyuan again!
Mrs. Li picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then looked at Tang Xiaowan: "Xiaowan, if it's convenient, can you bring two of the root carvings back? Auntie wants to put one in the study and one in the dining room."
"Of course, thank you Auntie for not disapproving of it." Tang Xiaowan lowered her head shyly, her cheeks turning red.
"Yeah, be good."
Li Zihan smiled mischievously: "Take me with you. I haven't been to Nanshan Mountain yet. I heard the scenery is pretty good."
Tang Xiaowan didn't know how to answer, so she looked at Li Zishen beside her. His eyes were wide open, as if he was grasping a life-saving straw.
Li Zishen raised his chin slightly and pretended to be calm: "Next time, I want to stay alone with Xiaowan for two days this time."
Tang Xiaowan: "..."
Li Zihan received his brother's warning look, swallowed quickly, and replied with a smile: "Oh, that's it, okay, then I won't be a light bulb and stay at home to practice calligraphy with my mother. "
Mrs. Li smiled faintly, then turned to look at Wu Ma: "Let's serve."
"Yes, ma'am."
During the meal, the atmosphere was harmonious.
All dishes are specially prepared by chefs according to Qingcheng characteristics, which satisfies Tang Xiaowan's habit of spicy food.
Of course, in order to be considerate of the Li family who don't like spicy food, Mrs. Li also specially added two signature dishes with Jincheng characteristics.
While everyone was immersed in joy, Tang Xiaowan asked herself countless times.
There's nothing wrong with the clothes, and there's nothing wrong with dressing like this?
He passed the test smoothly, and his mother is so reasonable?
Oh my God, you wasted your time!
"Xiao Wan, try this."
Li Zishen served Tang Xiaowan with vegetables again, doing it almost every few minutes.
Tang Xiaowan picked up the fish pieces and put them down, and said awkwardly: "Zishen, I really can't eat anymore. I'm full. You can see that my stomach is bulging. I probably won't be able to finish the rice."
"It's okay, don't worry about it, just eat when you're full."
As Li Zishen said this, he took Tang Xiaowan's leftover rice and ate it with big mouthfuls, as well as the piece of fish and prawns on the plate.
Li Zihan and Mrs. Li were shocked.
They had never seen such a gentle side of Li Zishen. He was full of doting both inside and outside of his words, and he even ate Tang Xiaowan's leftovers.
"It seems that I really like it, which is good!" Mrs. Li sighed secretly, with a bit of relief in her eyes.
