At about eleven o'clock, Situ Xiao sent a driver to pick up the two, Mengzhu brought Qinglian, Siying also brought Yulian out, Mengzhu asked, "Where are you going to eat?" The driver smiled: "The young lady will know when she arrives." "It's kind of mysterious.

Because Situ Xiao usually doesn't come back for dinner, sometimes he also picks up Mengzhu, but today even Siying was called, and he couldn't think of anything happy for a while, so he speculated all the way.

The car drove to one of the most luxurious Chinese restaurants in Yunzhou City, where Situ Xiao once took her. Although Mengzhu has stayed abroad, she is still accustomed to the food of her own country and prefers Chinese food.

Outside the door are Situ Xiao's guards, one by one in a standing posture that does not squint in the cold wind, the waiters also greet them outside the door, leading them in, the roof is full of brilliant glass lamps, surrounded by snow-white walls, the floor is covered with a thick red carpet, high heels stepped on, soft, fell into a small pit, raised his foot, and bounced up.

The waiter took them up to the second floor, and Ruan Jingyuan stood there outside the door of the box, and greeted them with a smile when he saw them, "Young lady Miss Qin, please." He knocked lightly on the door and it opened.

Situ Xiao and Li Yilin are sitting on the sofa with their legs crossed, playing Go face to face, with a camellia maid behind them to add water at any time, and in the high cloisonne vase behind them is a bunch of bright plastic red plums, competing with her beautiful face.

Seeing them come in, both of them stood up with a smile, and Mengzhu smiled: "It turned out that my brother came back, I thought something was wrong." Situ Xiao smiled and helped her sit down, Siying greeted the two and sat down.

The Camellia Girl asked, "Young Marshal, are you serving?" Situ Xiao nodded, and the Camellia Girl went out in response, and after a while, the waiter brought a bowl of steaming dishes, and shouted softly: "Qingshui throws the fish." A dish of sauced red fish was served on the table, and Situ Xiao shouted: "It's all your own family, you're welcome." He took a piece in the Mengzhu bowl and said, "I heard that herring can replenish qi, strengthen the spleen, nourish the stomach, and prevent edema of pregnancy, so you should eat more." ”

Li Yilin coerced a piece to Siying and said, "Miss Qin and Sister Meng are sisters, so you don't need to be polite." ”

Siying tasted it with a smile and said, "Very tender." ”

Listen to the waiter's call again: "Jade shrimp bucket." But it is a plate of green peppers and river shrimp cooked, the green pepper is as green as jade, Mengzhu first tasted one, only to feel tender and soft, fragrant and full of mouth. Then I served a few plates of seasonal vegetables, all of which were very refreshing.

During the banquet, Situ Xiao kept picking up vegetables for Mengzhu, and Li Yilin also moved chopsticks for Siying from time to time, Mengzhu felt that her brother was only afraid that it was because Situ Xiao was attentive to her, which made Siying uncomfortable.

The waiter Wen came to a pot of wine, Mengzhu is a small cup and tasted it slowly, Situ Xiao and Li Yilin were both dry cups, Situ Xiao persuaded Siying to accompany him, but Li Yilin said, Miss Qin said that it was good, the concern was overflowing, and Siying was also generous, making people look like two couples drinking together.

At the end of the meal, desserts and pastries are served, which are nothing more than lotus root flour balls, jujube paste pull cakes, eight treasure lotus seed soup or hawthorn sweet cakes, etc.

After the meal, the driver sent a car to take them home, because they drank a little wine, their whole bodies were warm, and they saw that Siying's face also had a crimson that they hadn't seen for a long time.

As soon as Situ Xiao returned to the mansion in the evening, Mengzhu asked, "Mu Xuan, you asked Siying to go out with you today, but is it my brother's idea?"

Qinglian came in with porridge, Situ Xiao scooped a small spoon and blew it, sent it to Mengzhu's mouth and said with a smile: "You can see it at a glance, I guess Yilin has long been thinking about your good friend, he asked you to try Siying's heart, so he thought about going to the door to propose." ”

Mengzhu smiled: "Brother is too anxious, I have to take my time." ”

"This can't be slow, DoubleTree is two years older than me, can you not be in a hurry if you have a sweetheart?"

As soon as Situ Xiao said, Mengzhu suddenly paused and asked, "Mu Xuan, are you twenty-four this year?"

Situ Xiao watched her drink a small bowl of porridge, put the bowl down, and said with a smile: "Why, can't you even remember my age?" I am twenty-four years old this year, and Yilin is twenty-six years old. ”

Seeing Mengzhu stunned, he asked, "What's wrong?" Mengzhu. ”

Mengzhu came back to his senses for a long time, and smiled reluctantly: "It's nothing." Situ Xiao only thought about Yilin and Siying, and didn't care.

The lights went out, Mengzhu couldn't sleep all night, her mother's words sounded in her ears, she didn't dare to think about it but couldn't help it, her mother said that she was a fake husband and wife with her father back then, and later heard that Situ Kun was married and had children, so she was moved by her father's infatuation and integrity, and with the fact of husband and wife, then Yilin should be younger than Situ Xiao, but Yilin is twenty-six years old, and Situ Xiao is only twenty-four years old, and the two look a little similar, right?

Mengzhu was taken aback by her own thoughts, and she didn't dare to think about it anymore.

The next day, Mengzhu quietly tested Siying's opinion of Yilin, as if Siying had an excellent impression of Yilin, Mengzhu thought that Gu Liang died not long ago, with Siying's feelings and temperament for Gu Liang, she would never pick up Yilin so quickly, maybe it was just a good feeling, who knew that a few days later Qinglian said to her: "Miss, our Li Mansion is about to have a young grandmother." ”

Mengzhu was very strange, "How can there be such a thing? Who did you listen to?" Qinglian said: "It's true, Miss, I heard Yulian say that Miss Siying has quietly dated the young master alone." ”

Mengzhu was happy and faintly disappointed when she heard this, Siying could be her sister-in-law, that was what she couldn't ask for, but a person like Siying who was so persistent in her feelings forgot about Gu Liang so quickly, Mengzhu felt an indescribable loss in her heart, and she felt unstable in her heart.

This morning, Mengzhu sat in the room in a daze, Qinglian saw that Miss had been a little distracted in the past two days, and saw that the sun was shining outside, and said, "Miss, why don't we go to the garden and bask in the sun." ”

Mengzhu agreed, Qinglian helped Mengzhu out, and before she entered the garden, she saw Siying picking a white daisy in front of the flower garden, and she actually wore it in her hair, and her expression was extremely gloomy.

Mengzhu's heart fluttered for a while, and he said to Qinglian: "Qinglian, you go back first, I'll talk to Siying." ”

Mengzhu walked gently towards the flower garden, and then walked to Siying, and before she could say a word, Qinglian ran to call in a panic: "Miss, Miss." ”

Si Ying heard this, and hurriedly reached out to block the white chrysanthemum on her head, and quietly held it in the palm of her hand.

Mengzhu and Siying turned around, and saw Qinglian walking towards them with Alain, Alain looked anxious, and he didn't know whether he was in a hurry or was scarlet by the sun, and when he saw Mengzhu, he took her hand and said incoherently: "Mengzhu, it's not good, young master, young master Ji Qing..."

"Ji Qing, Ji Qing, what's wrong with him?" Mengzhu knew that Ji Qing was drinking, so he was in trouble.

I only heard Alan gasp and said: "Ji Qinghe, he heard that the young marshal was going to send someone to arrest him, and he secretly left in the middle of the night, and the master listened to the people who were waiting for him, he heard the rumors, and the young marshal was going to send someone to arrest him, and the man disappeared in the middle of the night." ”

"Mu Xuan?" Meng Zhu asked puzzledly, "Why did Mu Xuan arrest Ji Qing?"
