When Miss Jun came over, Zhu Zan was joking with Zhang Baotang Sifeng and others who came after hearing the news.
"Second brother, sister-in-law is here." Zhang Baotang saw it first and said happily.
Zhu Zan laughed and put his arms around Sifeng's shoulders.
"So this girl doesn't like you?" he said, continuing the conversation.
The four phoenixes seem to be smiling but not smiling.
"I don't like her anyway," he said.
Zhang Baotang reached out and patted Zhu Zan.
"Second brother, second brother." he shouted.
Zhu Zan stared.
"What are you doing?" he said angrily, then turned around and seemed to see Miss Jun standing behind him, "Why are you here?"
As if he didn't know why he came here, Miss Jun pursed her lips and smiled.
"What a coincidence," she said, "I'm coming to Jiulingtang."
Zhu Zan said oh.
"Sister-in-law, we are going to eat mutton soup." Zhang Baotang said happily, "Can you come with us this time?"
this time.
Miss Jun thought that when she first came to the capital last year and met Zhu Zan and the others, Zhang Baotang also asked her to have dinner with her, but at that time she was definitely not as sincere as she was now, and she was rejected by Zhu Zan.
At that time she was a strange stranger to them, but now she is Zhu Zan's wife.
"Okay." Miss Jun said, "Let's go eat Xixi mutton soup."
Zhang Baotang sighed.
"Sister-in-law..." he said.
Zhu Zan interrupted him with a slight cough.
"You're not married yet, don't call me like that." He said in a deep voice, "People have names."
"Miss Jun, do you also know about Xixi Mutton Soup?" Zhang Baotang said obediently.
Xixi Mutton Soup is an old restaurant in Beijing, but it is not very famous, so it is not a big restaurant that everyone rushes to go to.
The reason why I know this is that the master was full of praise for it, but every time he returned to Kyoto in a hurry, he kept saying that he would go again when he had the chance. After they got married, Lu Yunqi also said that he would take her there if he had the chance, but then he never had the chance again.
"The prince said it," she said with a smile and glanced at Zhu Zan.
Zhu Zan sneered at her, but turned his head instead of retorting.
………
……….
When he saw Miss Jun approaching, Lu Yunqi stood up. The guards in uniform beside him hurriedly followed him, but Lu Yunqi did not step forward and just stood quietly on the corner of the street watching.
No one has dared to pass through half the street.
When he saw Zhu Zan and others getting on their horses and moving forward, Lu Yunqi also got on his horses, followed naturally by the guards in imperial robes beside him, and the sound of swords swiping at their waists was very loud.
They followed neither far nor near, and pedestrians gave way wherever they passed.
Zhang Baotang looked back.
"Second brother, those dogs are still following us," he said.
Zhu Zan didn't even look back, looking disdainful.
"As long as it doesn't block the road, it's a good dog," he said.
Lu Yunqi's dull expression changed slightly as he watched them walk through the street and into a small alley.
"Sir, what's going on?" The Jin Yiwei beside him immediately looked around with vigilance.
"It's nothing." Lu Yunqi said, with a smile on his lips, "What a coincidence, very good."
What’s so coincidental? And so good?
The imperial guards looked puzzled, but they didn't need to understand. They just needed to obey the orders. Seeing Lu Yunqi urging his horse forward, everyone hurriedly crowded around.
The small alley suddenly became crowded with so many people, and upon seeing the arrival of Jin Yiwei, the customers of the small-fronted mutton soup restaurant suddenly dispersed like birds and beasts.
Zhu Zan and others were already seated inside, and the store clerk came to greet Lu Yunqi and the others cautiously.
"What do you want to use?" they asked carefully.
Lu Yunqi pointed at Zhu Zan and others.
"Whatever they want, I want," he said.
Sure enough, they were enemies again, and the storekeeper complained repeatedly in his heart. Everyone in the capital knew that there would be no peace of mind when the Crown Prince Chengguo and Lu Yunqi met, especially now that they were competing for beauty.
But seeing that Lu Yunqi just said these words and sat down without any other action, and Zhu Zan and others did not seem to see Lu Yunqi, the store owner hurriedly left with the waiter thinking of the gods and Buddhas in the sky.
The food in the mutton soup restaurant is very simple and is served quickly. Four people set up a table at Zhu Zan's side, and one person also set up a table at Lu Yunqi's side. As for these two tables in the huge hall, they were chatting and laughing lively.
It was quiet, and the shopkeeper and waiters standing aside felt like they were in a world of ice and fire.
"Sister-in-law...Miss Jun, please try this." Zhang Baotang said enthusiastically, placing the big lamb bones in front of Miss Jun.
Miss Jun gently rolled up her sleeves, picked up the big bone, which was not very elegant for a girl, and started to chew it.
On the other side, Lu Yunqi also picked up the sheep bones and slowly took a bite.
"It's really delicious." Miss Jun nodded repeatedly while chewing.
She ate so quickly and neatly that both Zhang Baotang and Sifeng were a little surprised.
"Miss Jun seems to eat big bones all the time." They laughed.
There are tricks to eating this kind of bone.
Miss Jun bit a piece of cartilage and paused slightly, her eyes full of smiles.
She has eaten not only big bones but also raw fish.
"She hasn't eaten anything." Zhu Zan said from the side.
Zhang Baotang looked at Zhu Zan and sighed.
"Second brother, you know my sister-in-law, Miss Jun." He said, "You are really thoughtful."
The first sentence was normal, but the latter sentence was really inexplicable. Zhu Zan glared at him. How could he tell that he was intentional?
Miss Jun put down the bones, spread her hands and raised them slightly to avoid getting oil on her sleeves. Just as Zhang Baotang was about to hand over the wet towel, he saw that Zhu Zan had already taken the towel and grabbed Miss Jun's arm to wipe her hands.
Skillful and neat.
Zhu Zan wiped it twice before he came back to his senses, and cursed in his heart, why has it become a habit to serve others!
He looked up at Zhang Baotang and Sifeng, who were stunned at first, then smiled ambiguously, and cursed again.
Zhu Zan wiped Miss Jun's hands three times, threw down the towel, picked up the chopsticks and took big bites of shredded tofu, as if nothing had happened.
"Miss Jun, please try this again." Zhang Baotang said enthusiastically again.
Miss Jun took it with a smile.
The girls ate generously, talked and laughed freely, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was very lively. They never looked at Lu Yunqi, the guest at the other table in the room, but Lu Yunqi kept looking at them, or specifically at Miss Jun.
He would eat whatever Miss Jun ate. When Miss Jun smiled, he would laugh too, as if they were sitting across from each other and eating together.
This kind of scene has not been seen before.
Miss Jun recalled that when she first came to Beijing, she and Ning Yunzhao saw Lu Yunqi at a fried tofu and fruit shop, sitting and eating together with a woman.
She didn't know it at the time, but of course she understands now, that the woman was regarded by Lu Yunqi as herself.
Thinking of this incident, thinking of that woman, and thinking of more women in that courtyard, I pieced together a version of myself, with Lu Yunqi hugging her from left to right.
Miss Jun felt nauseated, put down the spoon in her hand, turned around and retched.
The people at the table were startled, and Zhang Baotang even stood up.
"Sister-in-law," he shouted, "do you have one?"
Zhu Zan, who was turning to look at Miss Jun, suddenly felt like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"You just got it!" he shouted with eyes wide open.
