Chapter 138 Coincidence

Chapter 138 What a coincidence (second update)

Su Rong spoke in a nice voice, soft and shallow, with a slightly lazy tone at the end.

As soon as she opened her mouth, both of them were stunned.

Lu Fengyan took one more 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 two of you next time.”

He hesitated for a moment, but still politely did not ask Su Rong's name.

Su Rong thought to himself, Zhou Gu knew people from their articles, and said that Lu Fengyan's articles were too eccentric, but from his words and deeds, he really couldn't tell that he was very polite and polite.

Compared to 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 is the elder sister, her surname must be Feng.

Su Rong's name cannot be given casually, so I have no objection to this title.

The waiter brought the menu. Lu Fengyan and Zhao Shu didn't have the nerve to order more. 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 we'll all 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 the East Palace didn't keep dogs or cats, who would he pack it up for? The food eaten by the maids and eunuchs in the East Palace was all good, so they wouldn't be so interested in eating their leftovers, right? He said, "Pack this up."

It’s not good, there are no cats or dogs in the place where we stay.”

Fengling looked pitiful, "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, so it's not convenient to pack."

"Okay!" Fengling didn't expect that he would suffer from the packaging. He finally wanted to save money and be generous, but there was no room for him to show off. He could only ask Su Rong with the menu, "Let's order three dishes each?

There are eight dishes in total, and 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 smiled and refused, "We'll have to review our books when we go back in the evening, and just have tea. You two are free to 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.

Catch the exam 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 and said, "I just said this is the right time, right? You see, now there is no need to wait in line to be seated."

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 young man 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? If you book a private room upstairs in advance, 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, we can just sit in the lobby."

The young 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: "Zuihuayin is sold out again, otherwise we will go to Yingkefang to drink two cups today. The strongness of Zuihuayin is what makes it taste good."

"It is said that this drunken flower drink is produced in Jiangzhou?" one person asked.

"To be precise, it is 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 people make wine. When I returned to Beijing, because I didn't have enough private money, I brought back ten jars of it. After I returned to Beijing, I found out that this wine was actually being sold.

When we come to the capital, one 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 shipping fee added 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 shops 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 flowers 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 this Su Xingze looks like? It's too mysterious to say that he has been in Beijing for a month and hasn't gone out." said one person.

Xie Lin made a sound and lowered his voice, "It's not my fault, Brother Su. He was finally pulled 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. I can't even see him."

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 overheard 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 have reconciled in such a short period of time? You are better than before.

?They all spoke out to defend him."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the industry 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?"

"No apology, 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 my god, when did Gu's temperament change this week? This is not something he would do."

Xie Lin muttered, feeling both jealous and envious, "Because I have a good fiancée!"

Everyone was stunned.

Su Rong didn't expect to hear someone talking and heard 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 the chopsticks in the other hand. She exposed her lower jaw and continued to eat 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. Seeing everyone looking at her with searching expressions on their faces, 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~
