With the excuse of going "out of respect", Wei Changtian found Chu Xianping in another guest room.
Pulling the latter to the courtyard, Wei Changtian asked about the Dafengshen family.
However, the answers obtained were very limited.
Although Chu Xianping had a general understanding of the basic situation of Dafeng before going to Yuanzhou, now he only knows that the Shen family is one of the famous and famous families in Dafeng.
He was born as a civil servant for generations, and some were high-ranking officials in the court, but other than that, there was no information.
As for that "Mr. Shen", I don't even know his name.
"Sir, what's the problem with the Shen family?"
After briefly introducing the situation, Chu Xianping asked in a low voice: "Do you need to ask the Tongzhou Association to check it carefully? There should be a reply tomorrow at the latest."
"No."
Wei Changtian waved his hand: "I'm just asking casually, you can go back first."
"yes."
Soon, Chu Xianping left and returned to the guest room.
Wei Changtian, on the other hand, really ran to the toilet, and then slowly returned to the main hall.
"Master Wei, you came back just in time."
Wang Qixing, who was drinking tea with Li Wutong, his expression returned to normal at this time. When he saw him coming in, he smiled and said: "I will prepare some wine and food in my humble house today. I hope you will be willing to have a drink with me."
"Okay, then I'll be disrespectful."
He turned around and glanced at Li Wutong, knowing that Wang Qixing must have made arrangements to open the banquet because she said she wanted to eat.
Wei Changtian agreed casually, but he was somewhat doubtful in his heart.
Didn’t you just say that you wanted to see that Mr. Shen? Why are you getting food now?
Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if someone comes later?
Let people serve it. They've all been eaten here.
If you don't let people serve it, will they have to wait for it?
Although Li Wutong's identity is here, I always feel that it is inappropriate to act like this...
Combined with Li Wutong's proud expression before, Wei Changtian already had a rough guess about the relationship between Mr. Shen and Li Wutong.
However, he was not sure what Li Wutong was going to do with all this, so he would not say much.
...
Come out of the main hall and walk a few steps around to a spacious and bright dining room.
Under the service of several maids, everyone cleared their hands and mouths, and then sat down one after another.
Wei Changtian, Li Wutong, Wang Qixing, and Wang Qixing’s wife Liu.
There is a family dinner for four people, but there are only five seats.
"Master Wang, this position..."
Looking at the empty seats, Wei Changtian asked Wang Qixing in a low voice.
"Oh, this position is reserved for Shen Shulin, Mr. Shen."
Wang Qixing replied with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
"So that's it."
Wei Changtian nodded and didn't ask any more questions like "Why don't you wait for him?" He just remembered the name "Shen Shulin" and then frowned at Li Wutong.
Her long, silky hair was pulled into a princess bun with a beaded flower hairpin with tassels hanging from it.
Li Wutong, who had changed out of his battle armor and put on a brocade skirt, looked more feminine than before, but his heroic spirit was still there, except for the slight provocation in his eyes.
The two looked at each other and then looked away. Wang Qixing and Liu greeted each other politely, and then everyone raised their chopsticks to eat.
"Your Highness Princess, I dare to offer you a toast. May your beauty last forever..."
"Master Wei, how about you and I have a drink together..."
"Madam, do you still remember the last time we had the honor to see Her Royal Highness the Princess..."
"..."
The cups are pushed and the cups are changed, and the cups and cups are exchanged.
Exquisite dishes were served and taken down one after another, and the atmosphere during the dinner was barely harmonious.
Wei Changtian drank and ate, talking to Wang Qixing from time to time, and half an hour passed quickly.
Since it is a family banquet, the meal is almost over at this point.
At this moment, a servant opened the door and came in, whispering a few words in Wang Qixing's ear.
"Princess, Mr. Shen has arrived."
The latter immediately raised his head and asked for instructions: "Look..."
"Um."
Li Wutong calmly picked up an embroidered handkerchief and wiped his mouth: "Let him come in and take a seat."
"yes."
Wang Qixing nodded and continued to explain, and soon a servant came in with a young man in a green shirt.
His skin is very fair, his facial features are handsome, and the bun on his head is neatly combed, giving him a typical scholarly look.
The first impression Shen Shulin gave Wei Changtian was quite good. At first glance, he looked like the kind of person who came from a family of civil servants.
only......
"Your Highness, Princess!"
The eager shouts were full of excitement. As soon as Shen Shulin entered the room, all he could see was Li Wutong, and his face was slightly red due to nervousness.
Okay, after a long time of trouble it turned out to be a licking dog.
Wei Changtian shook his head and put down his chopsticks, while Li Wutong looked at Shen Shulin with a smile and said softly:
"Master Shen, have you had dinner?"
"Back, back to princess, no."
"Then sit down and eat whatever you want, and we'll talk while we eat."
"Yes Yes!"
Not caring that there were only some leftovers on the table, Shen Shulin immediately sat down in the seat reserved for him, and then he remembered to say hello to the others.
"Wang Dada, madam."
"Uh, this young man is..."
"This is Wei Changtian, Mr. Wei."
Li Wutong smiled and answered before Wei Changtian: "I have something to ask of Mr. Wei, so I went back to the capital together."
"Wei Changtian?"
Shen Shulin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this name.
He bowed his hands to Wei Changtian with some admiration, and then said seriously and sincerely:
"I have heard the name of Wei Gongzi's poems for a long time, and it is truly a blessing for Shen to see him today."
"On the second day of the second lunar month, at the Spring Dragon Poetry Festival, Mr. Wei's poem "Spring River Flowers" was recited all over the world. He transformed into a real dragon, which is really admirable to everyone."
Judging from the tone and demeanor, Shen Shulin's praise does not seem to be fake, and he definitely truly admires Wei Changtian.
Wei Changtian also responded politely:
"Young Master Shen is too polite, but Wei doesn't dare to take it seriously."
"Master Wei, please don't say that..."
"..."
The two of them began to compliment each other, but Li Wutong next to him couldn't sit still at this moment.
She rolled her eyes, suddenly stretched out her chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish, put it in Wei Changtian's porcelain bowl, and said "gently":
"Master Wei, try this fish. It tastes very good."
"..."
With one movement or one word, the dining room was instantly silent.
Using your own chopsticks to pick up food for the opposite sex would be an extremely ambiguous behavior in feudal society, unless it happened between an elder and a junior.
What's more, the person who picks up the food is treated like a princess.
Wang Qixing and his wife Liu immediately turned around and pretended not to notice, while Wei Changtian frowned slightly.
As for Shen Shulin...
His face suddenly turned pale, his mouth opened and closed several times but he couldn't say a word, and the eyes he looked at Wei Changtian were no longer friendly.
At this moment, Wei Changtian finally understood why Li Wutong called Shen Shulin over.
"Thank you princess for your kindness..."
Squinting at Li Wutong, who was smiling but not smiling, Wei Changtian slowly pushed the porcelain bowl away.
