"Pfft——" Cheng Xue couldn't hold it back and chuckled.
I have been in contact with him a lot, and I know that he is a person who cannot stand restraint. Whenever Pang Lao lectures him, he will grease his feet and run away. But this time, there are experts around the old man. Did he slip away?
It’s really hard.
Seeing that his face was ashen, I coughed twice, adjusted my mentality, and asked:
"Have you eaten? If not, can I take you to the restaurant opposite to have something to eat?"
"Sure." Wen Tian was not polite and turned around to leave.
Bai Qian followed Cheng Xue sensibly, while Shuangxi stayed here and helped the workers to work. Butler Zhong told him before coming that he would stay in the capital this time to take care of the master and his wife.
You can't fall back when the time comes, you must stand up as soon as possible.
The distance from Wangyue Tower to the string house opposite is only thirty meters.
After entering the store, the lobby was packed and noisy. There was a row of customers waiting for a table at the table under the window to the east of the door.
When the steward saw Cheng Xue coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said:
"Second owner, you're here. There's no room left. The only one left is the one on the third floor."
"Okay, we can go up there ourselves, you can do your work."
"Thank you, second boss."
Cheng Xue led Wen Tian upstairs. The second floor was also full of people. Like the first floor, it was a hall. The windows on both sides were open. It was not stuffy at all, but a little noisy.
When she got to the third floor, it was obviously much quieter here. The waiter in charge of the waiter on the third floor was already waiting for her at the stairs.
"Hello, second boss, please come this way."
"No, we'll go there by ourselves, and you can just go on the string as usual."
"Yes."
The guy left, Cheng Xue walked in front, and went straight to the private room inside.
This room is the smallest among all the private rooms on the third floor. At that time, each private room was built with an area of 20 square meters, and in the end, only this small room of 12 or 3 square meters was left. I can use it just enough to entertain three or five people.
It's enough for friends. But it's not good for entertaining outsiders. After all, their private rooms require extra charges.
When I pushed the door open and walked in, I felt a powerful breeze, which was very cool. The words written by Pang Lao were hung on the wall between the two windows, which looked elegant and charming.
Bai Qian took the lead in entering the room, took out a handkerchief, wiped all the tables and chairs, and then stood aside politely.
Before Cheng Xue and the two sat down, the waiter came in with a pot of hot tea and wiped a table and chairs.
"Second boss, this is the snow-topped emerald that I put here before my time. I asked you to make a pot for you when you come."
"Okay, I'm determined."
The clerk put down his things and went out. Wen Tian sat down and recounted his experiences over the past few days like he was pouring beans.
That day he saw Li Hui looking downcast after taking the exam. Although he was ridiculing him, he was still worried in his heart. So after dinner that day, he went to Pang's house and wanted to ask Mr. Pang what was going on. He was used to not using the front door.
, so when he climbed over the wall to the courtyard where the old man lived, he happened to bump into the old man discussing the next exam questions with a few people.
"...I was listening in the dark, but who would have thought that the old man would have a master from Ouchi who would take action when I wanted to leave, catching me off guard. There are eight of them in total. If the old man hadn't stepped forward in time, you two would have
It’s hard enough to even see me. I’ve suffered a lot for your man, so you’ll have to thank me when he comes out of the palace.”
When Cheng Xue heard this, she immediately couldn't laugh or cry.
"Brother, you refused to leave, climbed over the wall, and asked him to thank you if you were caught. Where are the rules?"
"Then what, you two don't care about me? Let me tell you, I'm as tired as my grandson these days. I was thrown into the mountains to help them train soldiers in the patrol camp, and I almost went crazy."
For more than half a month, every day is a tent, a school ground, two o'clock and one line. For a free-spirited Jianghu person, this is undoubtedly "Ling Chi".
Cheng Xue refilled his cup of tea and said gratefully:
"Okay, okay, when he comes back I'll let him make it up to you and have a couple of drinks with you, okay?"
"Are you asking him to compensate me or bully me? That kid is getting more and more sober as he drinks, so I won't drink with him." Wen Tian Aojiao snorted and lowered his head to drink tea.
To put it bluntly, Mr. Pang put him under house arrest and did not allow him to come back to report. Now that all those who participated in the palace examination have entered the palace, he was released. Li Hui's guess was completely correct at the beginning. Fortunately, they persisted, otherwise the consequences would be true.
Unpredictable.
Just as I was thinking about it, the waiter opened the door and came in, carrying meat skewers and staple food.
Cheng Xue recovered her thoughts, handed the chopsticks to Wen Tian, and said:
"Eat more. I'll make you a fish stew in the evening. Add more cabbage and vermicelli, which you like to eat. Hey, it's strange. Tiedan and Brother Xin are thinking about you every day. You came from home, but they didn't
Say you want to follow?"
"...Ah? Ah."
Wen Tian hesitated, picked up a meat skewer and started to jerk it off.
The waiter didn't stay long when he saw this. After bowing and saluting, he left the house and helped to hang the door.
Seeing him finish one bunch and take another, Cheng Xue reminded him softly:
"Eat slowly. This is all yours. If there is not enough, you have to chew it carefully. Barbecued meat is hard. Don't you have no meat to eat when you are training in the mountains? Let me stew sheep and scorpions for you tonight. I bought them at home yesterday.
I didn’t eat the dumplings I had this morning.”
Wen Tian slowed down his skewers, then put down the skewers and said:
"Well... the old man didn't come up with the questions for the palace exam. The old man taught the three of them, so he had to avoid suspicion. He didn't enter the palace for this palace exam, so now he's leaving it at your house."
"Ah?!"
Seeing Cheng Xue's shocked look, Wen Tian blushed and felt a little guilty.
"The old man wanted to eat sheep and scorpions, so I went directly to your house after entering the city today. Seeing that you were not there, I asked Shuangxi to come out to find you. I was angry that he had banned me, so I followed him out. I didn't say anything to Shuangxi just now.
Opportunity. You should go back first. He hasn’t eaten since he got up early and is just waiting for this meal."
Cheng Xue couldn't help but smile, and wanted to tease him a few words, but it was obvious that he looked ashamed at the moment, and it was difficult to say anything else.
"Then you go home after dinner, and we'll eat spicy ox tail bones in the evening. This is your favorite."
"Okay, I'll go back when I'm full."
Cheng Xue and Bai Zian left the house and were not in a hurry to go home. Instead, they went to East Street to buy ox tail bones.
Buying beef and mutton in the capital is not as troublesome as in Liaodong. It is basically readily available, but the price has increased several times.
After buying the ox tail bone, Bai Zian followed her through the busy main street and turned into the alley——
"Madam, may I dare to tell you an idea?"
"What do you think? Just say it."
Since Bai Zian and Ging Guo were rescued, Ging Guo has been working with Bai Zhi. The little girl has a soft temper, and she has been protected by her sister, so the degree of injury is not serious, and she has completely recovered.
In comparison, it is more difficult for my sister. After all, the damage has already been done. No matter how tough her character is, there is still a little sadness in her eyebrows.
