Not long after, there was just a stick of incense, and as the door of the official hall opened again, Zhang Kui walked in from the outside with a plate of side dishes and a plate of pastries in his hands.
Zhang Kui gently placed the side dishes and pastries on the table, then walked to the charcoal basin in the corner and added a few pieces of charcoal to the basin.
Soon, the room became as warm as spring and very quiet.
The temperature also relaxed the atmosphere a little.
Then Zhang Jingxiu stood up from the chair, took off his fox fur cloak, handed it to Zhang Kui to hang on the wall, and then sat down Yingying at the table.
As she sat in a reserved and elegant posture, with her back straight, she naturally revealed her charming curves under her plain white clothes, which even a wide scholar's shirt could not hide.
In silence.
Zhang Kui looked at his young lady, then at the tied-up Shen Lie, and then said softly: "Miss, look..."
So Zhang Jingxiu nodded reservedly: "Well, let him loosen his bonds."
Zhang Kui breathed a sigh of relief again, walked to Shen Lie's side in three steps at a time, pulled out a short dagger from his leggings, and cut the rope around Shen Lie's body.
After being loosened, Shen Lie finally breathed a sigh of relief and secretly moved his stiff joints, with a wry smile on his honest face.
He finally tasted the feeling of offending his chief minister's daughter.
This taste...
Shen Lie couldn't help but feel complicated. He secretly moved his sore joints and quickly exchanged glances with Zhang Kui.
Today is really thanks to Guard Zhang for rescuing the siege, otherwise...
I'm afraid I can't coax this Miss Zhang well.
Zhang Kui smiled slightly and winked again.
Shen Lie understood and walked towards the wealthy young lady. He bowed bravely and said awkwardly: "What happened today is Xiao Ke's fault. Xiao Ke is here to keep the young master company."
Apologize.
Otherwise, what else can be done.
As soon as Shen Lie opened his mouth to apologize, Zhang Jingxiu seemed to have found his target, and mocked with a cold face: "I don't dare, I guess my talent in Jingxiu is shallow, and I can't get into the eyes of a reclusive master like Brother Shen."
Shen Lie felt bitter in his heart, so he could only clasp his fists in embarrassment and say a few soft words: "Master Zhang, you have spoken harshly. Xiaoke is really... ashamed."
Shen Lie kept apologizing, and Zhang Jingxiu's tight little face gradually relaxed, and his expression became much more relaxed.
Shen Lie felt a little surprised. He looked at her picturesque features and frowned slightly. Although she was angry, she still maintained the reserve of an official lady.
Shen Lie secretly breathed a sigh of relief and secretly wiped the sweat from his palms.
Talk about it.
This Miss Zhang is much more reasonable than the girlfriends he had dated.
Watching her shake her head when she was angry, she regained her dignified demeanor with just a few words of coaxing, and became so bright and charming again.
She is really a lady of all people!
Understand the truth and know how to advance and retreat.
As the atmosphere gradually relaxed, Zhang Jingxiu picked up the handkerchief and wiped his delicate white hands, and said softly: "Sit down."
Shen Lie didn't dare to refuse, so he had to respond obediently: "Hey!"
Shen Lie didn't dare to sit still, he only dared to sit half of his butt on the chair, then raised his head and secretly looked at her bright eyes and white teeth.
Look at this.
The stunning classical beauty comes to your nostrils along with the quiet atmosphere of your daughter's home.
Shen Lie began to sweat again on his forehead. He quickly looked at his nose and heart, pretending to be an old monk in meditation, for fear of offending this wealthy lady again.
At this moment, Shen Lie's honest and honest face was filled with two words.
Clever.
Zhang Jingxiu felt much more relaxed. Looking at his serious and restrained look, he said softly: "Brother Shen may have a favorite dish, but it doesn't matter."
Shen Lie hurriedly said: "Anything is fine, everything is fine."
Zhang Jingxiu was not surprised and said softly to Zhang Kui: "In that case, ask someone to bring all the good dishes and a pot of Qiulubai."
Zhang Kui agreed, bent down and walked out of the official hall. Soon, he brought in the hot Qiu Lu Bai and various delicacies.
With the hot food placed in front of him, Shen Lie gradually felt at ease and couldn't help but swallow his saliva while looking at these delicious dishes.
Zhang Jingxiu didn't say anything, pretending not to know. He just picked up the wine pot with his delicate hands, filled it for Liu Bai, poured another cup for himself, and said softly.
"Brother Shen, please."
Shen Lie hurriedly said: "Please, please."
But he didn't understand the rules, so he had to pick up the chopsticks and watch eagerly, looking as naive as a stupid bird.
Zhang Jingxiu whispered again: "Eat."
Shen Lie could only nod. Looking at the calm expression of the beauty in front of him, he picked up the chopsticks with his delicate hands and took a few symbolic bites before giving up.
Shen Lie ate several pieces of twice-cooked pork. He felt that the twice-cooked pork was juicy and delicious, so he couldn't help but eat a few more pieces.
So Shen Lie was about to reach for a plate of delicious fresh fish with his chopsticks when he suddenly felt something was wrong. He raised his head and saw that Miss Zhang didn't seem to have any appetite and she didn't even move her chopsticks.
For a while.
Shen Lie couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, so he put down his chopsticks and said calmly: "Master Zhang..."
Zhang Jingxiu was not surprised, but said softly: "Jingxiu doesn't like such greasy things. Brother Shen, there's no need to be polite. Please help yourself."
Shen Lie was helpless and wanted to be reserved.
But I couldn't help it, I was really hungry, and the dish was too delicious, so I had to pick up the chopsticks again, lowered my head and continued to taste the delicious food silently.
All he could do was try not to make any sound.
At this moment, Shen Lie's old face couldn't help but burn with fire, and he felt like a stupid pig in front of this Miss Zhang.
Shameful, so shameful.
Fortunately, Zhang Jingxiu seemed to have calmed down. He just tasted it briefly and looked at it quietly. There was some confusion and hesitation in his bright eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
A woman's heart, a needle under the sea.
Shen Lie simply gave up and ate without any hesitation. He just tried his best to maintain table manners and didn't make any noise.
So in such a strange painting style.
Drinking for three rounds
Shen Lie felt that he was full after eating and drinking, so he gently put down his chopsticks. At this moment, Zhang Jingxiu seemed to have made some decision and put his delicate hands into his sleeves.
When he took it out again, there was a silver note in his delicate white hand.
Shen Lie looked at the banknote and asked in shock: "This is it?"
Zhang Jingxiu became a little indifferent again and said softly: "I will buy your pair with these one hundred taels."
Looking at the one hundred taels of silver notes, Shen Lie was stunned and quickly stood up to refuse: "Young Master Zhang made a serious statement. He made a serious statement. There is no need for it."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jingxiu pushed the banknote into his hand. When Shen Lie refused, their hands accidentally touched each other.
Shen Lie felt that his fingers were weak, but Zhang Jingxiu calmly took his delicate hand back, his beautiful brows slightly wrinkled, and he felt a little displeased.
Shen Lieren felt numb and quickly apologized: "Sorry, sorry."
The air in the private room felt awkward.
Not long after.
Zhang Jingxiu said coldly: "Take it, I... the money you throw out is just water thrown out, and you will never take it back."
Shen Lie could only say calmly: "Okay."
What else can be done?
The two of them were silent about the truth. At this time, Zhang Kui's deep voice came from outside the door: "Young master, it's getting late, should we go back home?"
Zhang Jingxiu responded and said softly: "Yes."
She looked at Shen Lie again and saw that Shen Lie seemed to have eaten and drank enough. Then she stood up, took the ivory fracture fan placed on the table in her hand, and put on the gorgeous fox fur cloak.
That bright and pretty face became reserved and cold again, and it looked like she was still angry.
