Chapter 173: The Elegant Room Talks
Tang Shubai smiled, played with a stone half the size of a palm in his right hand, threw it into the air, and then picked it up and put it back in his pocket in the palm of his hand. Li Fengzhu saw it clearly, in terms of luster, it was not an ordinary stone, it was a piece of black black jade. Then, Tang Shubai made a gesture with one hand, and bent slightly with the other. Her eyes glanced at Li Fengzhu intentionally or unintentionally, and seeing that she didn't mean to hold her arm, she put her hand away and put it in her trouser pocket to hide her embarrassment. Walking all the way, he kept saying: "This is how people make friends, and it can't be a coincidence." When I want to give my heart to someone with twenty-four sincerity, the person who is in someone's heart is not me. When I felt bored, I slowly looked down on it in my heart, but I didn't expect someone's mind to loosen, but at this time my sincerity may have been discounted. ”
This side of the story was almost about to name names, but Li Fengzhu's performance was absent-minded. At first, she listened to it in her heart, so she blushed and lowered her head, very embarrassed. After a minute, Li Fengzhu secretly pinched his thigh, reminding himself that he came today for official business and must not be affected by personal feelings. So, just look up and take a closer look at the layout of Dongxing Building. The first door that comes in is a typical Chinese arch. Inside the door is a large shadow wall, with a desk and a pair of plum vases with two bouquets of flowers. Around the back of the shadow wall, it is a typical and traditional courtyard layout, and the verandahs on both sides are painted with vermilion lacquer. There is a wooden staircase on each side, which is extraordinarily spacious and large enough for three medium-sized adults to sit side by side.
Seeing that there were well-known customers coming, they hurriedly came forward and greeted "Hello Mr. Tang". Then, his eyes glanced at Li Fengzhu squirrelly. Seeing that she is not like the kind of female companion that Tang Shubai has always loved to bring out, and seeing her age and bearing, she is the one who should be called Mrs., she opened her mouth but did not speak, and she hesitated in her heart that she didn't know what kind of relationship the two of them had, and if she said it wrong, she was afraid that she would touch the ashes of her nose. Therefore, he just said "hello" to Li Fengzhu, and then turned back to Tang Shubai and said, "There is still a seat in the private room upstairs, please two of you." ”
Tang Shubai was interrupted by him, of course he was very unhappy, and snorted with a belt in his nose. Glancing behind him out of the corner of his eye, he found that Li Fengzhu was a kind of ape-like appearance, and his mood was even more disappointed. Then he thought regretfully, maybe he shouldn't have served that shelf, men and women quarreled, it has always been the women who make the shelf, and the men who invite them to go down the steps. This time it's the other way around, and the end result is obviously not very good. However, when I think about it, Li Fengzhu's attitude of being cold for a while and hot for a while is really annoying. My heart swayed for a while, and I unconsciously sighed a breath of turbidity. Tang Shubai couldn't help but think of the saying of the current world newspaper, he was the one who was annoying in the past, but now he finally knows how uncomfortable it is to be treated uncertainly.
But Li Fengzhu is gradually getting a little better in this regard, and he is not like the previous times, he is disgusted as soon as he gets along with him. Seeing that he was a little unhappy, he immediately realized that he was thinking about how to change the atmosphere. He rubbed his hand on the staircase, hooked his fingers with his backhand, and tapped it lightly twice. Following her movements, a very calm voice was sent into the ear drums, indicating that the materials for the staircase were very laborious, especially very expensive, and she expressed her emotion in a low voice.
Tang Shubai thought about it, although she had a nice professional title, she didn't come out to socialize, and I am afraid she had never seen such a luxurious scene. Or maybe she's just curious, not deliberately snubbing. Thinking about it, I don't mind it so much, and a slight smile appeared on my face. After this laugh, Tang Shubai felt that he had passed this level in his heart, as long as there was such a valid reason, he would immediately turn his anger into joy, and he couldn't help but let out two more self-deprecating chuckles.
Li Fengzhu couldn't help but pause when he heard it, and turned his head to look at it with a suspicious face. Somehow, she read a pitiful color in Tang Shubai's smiling eyes.
Tang Shubai saw her eyes looking over, and he was a little pity, and hurriedly quickened his pace, not giving her any chance to continue speculating.
At this point, they ascended to the second floor, where the walkway was wider than the staircase. At the end, a courtyard is connected to the inside, and a moon gate is made for people to pass through. Therefore, standing on the second floor, you can overlook the front and rear courtyards. The upstairs are all private rooms, each in a symmetrical row, and each glass window shoots a few colorful lights. Li Fengzhu looked through the window and looked at the interior. I saw that the walls and tables and chairs inside should be all in Western style, and a crystal chandelier hung down in the middle of each room, no wonder there was such a dazzling light.
After the shopkeeper sat down in the private room, he took the food label and paper and pencil and handed them to Li Fengzhu first. But Li Fengzhu is not good at socializing, so naturally he will not order big dishes, and he can't help but feel cramped for a while.
"The crab roe roe cake I ate last time tasted good. Tang Shubai said lightly, and naturally took over the dish brand and resolved the embarrassment on his behalf.
Li Fengzhu looked at it blankly, but he was thinking in his heart, picking out the most delicious crab roe on a crab is a way for the rich to enjoy. But baked cakes are a food in the market. Although Tang Shubai said a snack casually, it can vividly compare their incompatible dinner.
In her distracted work, Tang Shubai sprinkled two plates of cold vegetables, three dishes, a bowl of egg and cauliflower soup, a bowl of jelly for each person, and a pot of warm wine. The shopkeeper took the menu and hurriedly sent it to the kitchen, and just ran to the door of the private room, another young tea room brought two bowls of herbal tea and asked them to quench their thirst.
After serving tea, the private room was completely quiet. Tang Shubai's eyelids were raised several times, but none of them could connect with Li Fengzhu. In addition to being disappointed, he couldn't understand what today's meal meant. Because he straightened his eyebrows, unbuttoned the two buttons on his suit, and said with a smile: "It's an honor to receive your invitation!"
Hearing this, Li Fengzhu first sat up straight, ready to catch this sentence. But after thinking about it, I couldn't make up my mind. She is used to this kind of time, and she has to go back with two weighty words, so that she can feel comfortable. However, such an approach is not conducive to her spying on intelligence. Besides, no matter how he said that he saved his life because of Tang Shubai's affection, he should always talk a little bit about etiquette in front of him. Because of this, the round mouth only slightly started to speak, and then exhaled a breath, and then curled up his back slightly. Then he picked up the teacup, took two sips, and replied: "I seem to have chosen the wrong place, I think the Golden Flower Tavern is more in line with your heart." ”
Tang Shubai didn't expect her to think of this little child, and as soon as she liked it, she had a look of color that climbed into her eyes, and said meaningfully: "Sure enough." ”
Li Fengzhu secretly sneered, but when he spoke, he repeatedly reminded himself that he had to put his tone in a particularly coquettish tone: "Sure what?"
Tang Shubai nodded and replied with a smile: "It's not those eight words - sincerity leads to the golden stone for opening." ”
During this period, hot and cold dishes were served together. Li Fengzhu glanced around the table full of plates, and finally fell on the fat and tender roast duck, shook his head and quipped: "According to your way of ordering, it seems that I have three mouths on my face." ”
"That's right, why don't you bring Ling Qin over?" Tang Shubai said with a smile, first pouring wine into Li Fengzhu's small wine cup, and then pouring it full for himself.
When Li Fengzhu heard the word "Lingqin", the alertness in his heart couldn't help but show his face, and his eyebrows jumped suddenly. She felt that she had not answered this well, but it seemed too much to deliberately say that she was not allowed to mention her family. So he asked, "By the way, how did you guess my intention in asking you out before you came?"
I saw Tang Shubai take a sip of the wine cup, thinking about it. When he put down the wine cup again, he chuckled and replied, "Johnson's closed door makes you understand where the light is, right?"
Li Fengzhu nodded heartily, and just said it in his mouth, but his voice went all the way down: "I think so, and your words seem to make sense." The British, who are narrow-minded and arrogant and untrustworthy, should have driven them out first. And, I suppose you have taken refuge in the Orientals......"
Tang Shubai felt that this kind of opening statement was very harsh, so he frowned and interrupted her: "You went out to inquire, when did I ever nod my head to the Oriental? Of course, if you want to regard my bow as a humble performance, then I have nothing to say." Tang Shubai clearly knew that Li Fengzhu was a person who was extremely dignified, and this was also the most unavoidable obstacle between the two of them. He had to do his best to make her understand that not everyone who cooperated with Japan had abandoned all dignity and humbled himself into the dust.
Li Fengzhu swallowed his words, changed his tone, and smiled compromisedly: "Okay." Today, I asked you out to talk about it thoroughly. Well talked, working with you also makes. However, before we get to that, let's start with the three chapters of the covenant. Only neutral words are allowed to be used when talking to each other, and no one is allowed to raise the bar with a biased position. I'm always sincere. Because according to your own statement, you are an open-minded person, not as narrow-minded as me, so the three chapters of this covenant are actually only binding on me alone. ”
Tang Shubai was picking up the dishes and eating them with wine, and he skipped Li Fengzhu from time to time.
His eyes were clear and gentle, and he couldn't help but look at Li Fengzhu strangely in his heart. I couldn't help but think about it again, Tang Shubai was a smart and cunning person, and he was clearly a person with no long things. Even if her pen has a certain attractiveness, it doesn't seem to make Tang Shubai indulgent again and again. Translocation, if Tang Shubai used all his scheming to lurk in Li Fengzhu's house, transcribe important texts, and use them as information to trade, he would not even be grateful to his subordinates for showing mercy. All kinds of behaviors, according to the words, it would be good if the fish didn't break the net, even if there was affection before, but if it was so heavy, no matter how undignified people were, they should die. But it's really strange that Tang Shubai has such a great sense of tolerance! Thinking about it in tandem, his recent actions seem to be very mysterious. But Li Fengzhu couldn't guess it for the time being, but he just had an intuition that Tang Shubai didn't seem to be bad, and he was even more than a hundred times more reliable than Johnson.
