Zi Su looked at the restaurant in front of her and said to Mingruo: "Fan Lou is the best restaurant in the imperial capital. Not only are the chefs good at their craftsmanship and the restaurant's environment is good, but... those who can dine in Fan Lou are all noble people."
.”
After listening to Zi Su's description, Mingruo immediately thought of the private clubs of later generations. Apart from the expensive membership fees, there was nothing wrong with it.
Si Haochen threw a black jade pendant to Mingruo, and then strode into Fanlou. The waiter at the door was about to stop him, but was frightened into silence by his sharp eyes.
Mingruo looked at the jade pendant in his hand - oblong, engraved with complex patterns, heavy in his hand.
Zisu continued to introduce in Mingruo's ears: "This is Fanlou's 'waist badge'. If you don't have it, you can't go in. You can only eat on the first floor with the sapphire pendant, and you can go up to the second floor with the jasper pendant, but you can go up to the second floor with the black jade pendant."
, there are fixed boxes on the third floor..."
Ming Ruo automatically held the black jade pendant in his hand, which is equivalent to the black card of a domineering president, very cool.
The waiter saw the black jade pendant in Mingruo's hand and greeted him quickly: "Sir, please come in."
Mingruo discovered that this restaurant was indeed very different from other restaurants. Starting from the first floor, there were private rooms, antiques, bead curtains, palace lanterns... all beautifully decorated.
Going up to the third floor, the grandeur of the lower two floors changed, and the style suddenly became fresh and elegant. The whole floor was like an exquisite flower house, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants. The water was gurgling under the feet, and koi carps were swimming and playing in the water.
, small bridges lead to different boxes.
The waiter opened a private room and said, "You two gentlemen, please come inside."
Ming Ruo stepped forward to go in, heard a sound behind him, turned around subconsciously, and saw a young man walking out of the opposite compartment - wearing a jasper crown, wearing a sapphire blue python robe with sea patterns and a gold-inlaid jade belt. He had sharp sword-shaped eyebrows.
Eyes, with an aura of calmness and dignity.
Mingruo was a little startled, not because of how good-looking the man was, but because she felt that he looked familiar.
Si Haochen and Mingruo were walking side by side. The bridge connecting the boxes was a bit narrow, so he took half a step back. Seeing Mingruo stop and not walk, he followed Mingruo's gaze and couldn't help but frown. He pushed Mingruo.
After a while, Mingruo finally recovered and entered the box.
"Is it that good-looking?" Si Haochen said coolly.
"What's good-looking?" Mingruo was trying to remember where he had seen that person? The number of people he knew in Donghuan was actually very limited.
"You've been looking at it for so long." Si Haochen pulled out his chair and sat down.
"You're talking about that person..." Mingruo couldn't remember it anymore and decided to give up.
"Otherwise, what do you think this king said?" Si Haochen wanted to catch this damn girl and beat her up.
"..." Mingruo has figured out a pattern in the past few days since he returned home. When Si Haochen says 'I', it means he is in a good mood. If he calls him 'my king', he will be unhappy.
A lot of brain cells had died just now thinking about who that man was, and now she wanted to think about why Si Haochen was angry. Mingruo's head was about to explode. It couldn't be what she thought... When did Si Haochen become so conceited?
If you are in love, doesn't he take the cold and aloof route?
"Well... he's not as good-looking as you, really." Mingruo suddenly thought of a joke and couldn't help but laugh, "Pfft..."
When Mingruo was studying abroad, his English name was Mirror. Mingruo figured it out on his own, and Si Haochen was like Snow White's stepmother. He shook his shoulders and said - Mingruo, Mingruo, tell me, who is the best person in this world?
The most beautiful man? Hahahaha...
"Ahem." Si Haochen glanced at the smiling woman with a straight face, "Order!"
The waiter quickly handed over the menu, and Si Haochen pointed with his fingers. Mingruo didn't know what he ordered.
The waiter put away the menu and planned to pass the dishes around. Mingruo stretched out a little hand: "I want to order too."
"No." Si Haochen refused firmly.
The waiters in Fanlou are all smart people, so you can naturally tell who is in charge here, and it is important for Ma Liudi to go out and pass the food.
It was too difficult for Ming Ruo to lie on the table and pretend to be dead.
"Do you still want to marry him?" Si Haochen felt depressed when he saw Ming Ruo looking haggard.
"Are you talking to me?" Mingruo pointed to the tip of her nose.
"Is there anyone else here?" Si Haochen decided that Mingruo was changing the subject.
"Isn't there still Zi Su..." Mingruo looked in the direction of Zi Su, but he was not there anymore, "Huh? Where is Zi Su?"
"I'm asking you something!" Si Haochen's whole body was enveloped in low pressure.
"I don't know who you are talking about..." It's so difficult to communicate with people whose brains are not in the same wavelength range.
Si Haochen gritted his teeth and said, "Third Prince!"
"Ah! It turns out to be him!" Mingruo suddenly realized that when the original owner was in Nanrong, the third prince of Donghuan, Si Yu, came to offer him a job. The original owner took his daughter's family out of curiosity about their future husband and hid on the palace road that the envoys must pass when leaving the palace.
I took a look at him secretly. Since the original owner tried hard to remember this appearance, Mingruo felt that it looked familiar.
Mingruo raised her head and looked into her boss Hao Chen's cold eyes. Her desire for survival made her blurt out: "I don't want to marry him. He looks fierce and not good-looking at all..."
The third prince does look a little fierce, but he is not 'unattractive'. Ming Ruo said the second half, this is entirely to satisfy Si Haochen's narcissistic needs.
"Do you only look at people for their faces?" Si Haochen felt a little better now, but he still wanted to catch Mingruo and give him a good beating.
"Isn't it possible?" Mingruo admitted with a frank look, "Isn't it true that love comes from the heart?"
"There are many beautiful but poisonous things." Si Haochen retorted.
"Then you have to use your beautiful appearance to attract people, so that people will study whether it is poisonous. Who would understand something that is too ordinary or too ugly? Do you have time to panic..." I am the proud sister of Yan Kong.
"..." Si Haochen couldn't refute. This girl was just 'greedy and lustful' and she still felt confident about it.
The dishes came one after another, and Fanlou is really particular about it. The plates for serving the dishes are all carved from jade of various colors, and the colors and shapes are very beautiful. And the dishes are also exquisite - tender bean sprouts are stuffed with minced meat and fried.
Stir-fried, it is a dish of agate silver sprouts. The white meat is cut as thin as paper, wrapped in green plum sauce and steamed until crystal clear. It is called plum green and plump.
In short, every dish has a poetic name, and it is difficult to cook at first glance.
Mingruo tasted all the dishes that had been served, then picked up a spoon and filled half a bowl of Wensi Tofu Soup, only to find that Si Haochen's chopsticks were still placed on the white jade chopstick holder: "Aren't you hungry?
"
Si Haochen felt tight in his chest, and thought to himself, "You are so full of gas, can you still eat?"
Mingruo put the soup in his hand in front of Si Haochen and said with some guilt: "This soup looks good."
These dishes were so beautiful that Mingruo was attracted by the dishes and forgot about table manners - before the host even moved his chopsticks, she, the guest, ate first.
