"Come on. The shopkeeper graciously handed the teacup to Xu Mu, as if it was a cup of top-grade Biluochun.

How to drink?

Xu Mu flipped through several tables in his heart one after another, who has nothing to do to drink someone else's nail polish remover?

If it weren't for the politeness and system rating, I really wanted to turn around and leave immediately.

"Thanks, no need, I don't drink much tea, I usually only drink water. Xu Mu racked his brains and couldn't think of any good way to get out, so he could only try to thank him tactfully for his kindness.

"Don't worry, it's not tea, it doesn't taste good. The shopkeeper grabbed Xu Mu's wrist and stuffed the teacup directly into his hand, "Drink it." ”

I just don't worry!

The courier brother looked at the cup of tea with a sad face, and his jaw was about to fall off.

[Drink, calm the nerves, it's very useful to you now, it's a good intention.] At the critical moment, the husband in the unicorn bead reminded loudly.

Calming the nerves?

Xu Mu stared at the teacup, brewed for two seconds, closed his eyes, raised his head and poured the contents of the cup into his mouth, and drank it all.

"Thank you. The courier brother thanked the shopkeeper, pinched the receipt, smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and ran away quickly.

Sure that no one was paying attention nearby, Xu Mu walked towards No. 74 and asked Fu Zhu with a bitter gourd face in a low voice, "What was that glass of water just now?"

To be honest, the taste of that glass of water is very ordinary, and I don't feel anything special about my body when I drink it.

[Your soul left your body yesterday, and your body must have been depleted, so it should have been seen by it. "Not afraid" is the specialty of this nine-tailed old sheep, its fur and hoof armor can have a calming effect on human beings, it is estimated that it will look at you very pleasing to the eye, will help you. Yesterday, I shared the ambergris crystal for a long time, and the husband's tone was rare and gentle.

Xu Mu: ..................

That's why you wash your nails in that cup of tea?

"You say it's a nine-tailed old sheep?"

[Well, that guy's name is Boshi, and his original form is a four-horned and nine-tailed goat, and his temperament is always lukewarm, like boiled water. 】

Tempered and mild-tempered, he will take the initiative to help others, so to speak, this monster called Qiang is a good old man, no, an old good demon?

Xu Mu looked back and could only see No. 46 on the roof, scratching his hair, it was hard to imagine a sheep walking upside down.

The Samoyed who received the courier on the 74th did not come out today, and the answer to the door was another puppy with fiery fur, which was at least half smaller than the white Samoyed before, and looked more like a fox than a dog.

The puppy's personality is much warmer than that of Samoyed, and he even took an apple out to give to Xu Mu.

Xu Mu looked at the row of sharp and obvious tooth marks on the apple and waved his hand tiredly, declining the puppy's kindness, his spirit was really not strong enough to eat such an apple after drinking the nail polish remover of a nine-tailed sheep.

Looking down at the puppy scratching with his paws on the courier list, Xu Mu sighed helplessly, the owner of this family is really, dare to send an animal other than a dog out to receive the courier?

[Have you gone home, I'll be passing by the courier point later, do you want to pick you up?] As soon as he stepped on the small third wheel in the deep twilight, Xu Mu received a text message from Feng Yuan.

[I'm on my way back, and I estimate that it will take twenty or thirty minutes. 】

[That's pretty much it, I'll stop on the side of the road and wait for you.] 】

【Good!】

Xu Mu put his mobile phone in his pocket and rode a small three-wheeler all the way towards the express delivery point. Great, there's a ride today!

On the motorway less than 100 meters behind the small three-wheeler that soared to the limit speed, a silver sedan followed steadily, not far away.

Feng Yuan, who was in the driver's seat, looked at the anxious appearance of someone on the small three-wheeler and slightly hooked the corners of his lips, just because he was so excited, it was worth it to come over to pick up people around a big bend.

After receiving Xu Mu, Feng Yuan drove straight to a private restaurant that only accepts member reservations, the most famous word-of-mouth dishes of this store are the best Buddha jumping over the wall and clay pot old soup, Feng Yuan made up his mind to take Xu Mu to eat something good to replenish his body, and he made a reservation for a seat by phone early in the morning.

The private restaurant is located in a Western-style three-storey red brick building with a history of nearly 100 years, and the interior decoration is a combination of Chinese and Western, with thick velvet curtains, crystal chandeliers that drag like skirts, old antique record players, Chinese-style wooden furniture with brass buckles, pastel-colored jade pot spring bottles, and gold-painted emerald screens.

There are no seats in the lobby, and all rooms are private. Feng Yuan booked the Peony Hall on the second floor, and the two followed the clerk who led the way on the stairs covered with thick Persian carpets, Xu Mu looked at the obviously expensive decorative ornaments around him, and the more he walked, the more worried he became about the price of the food here, it must be very expensive, right?

"Otherwise, let's go back and eat, shall we?" Xu Mu uneasily straightened the backpack on his shoulders and approached Feng Yuan's whispered Jianyi. It's not worth spending this unjust money!

"It's okay, my friend gave me a stored value card here before, and I can directly swipe the card to consume. Feng Yuan had already taken out his wallet preparedly, and showed Xu Mu the black bronzing membership card with "One Private Cuisine" written on it, and appeased someone's little heart that was distressed about money, "There are still five thousand yuan in the card, which can only be used here." ”

Hey, waste.

Xu Mu pursed the corners of his lips helplessly, so he had to follow Feng Yuan and the clerk to continue upstairs.

The area of the peony hall is nearly 100 square meters, but the luxury is only in the middle of the six-seat dining table, the wall on the left hangs a picture of a hundred flowers, the brushstrokes are delicate, among which the peony that is delicate and yellowing is beautiful and presses the group, there is really a kind of "only the peony is true to the national color, and the flowers move the capital when the season is blooming".

There is a mahogany sofa by the window, cushioned with thick dark green brocade soft satin cushions, for guests to talk before the meal, and there is even a guqin in the corner of the wall on the right.

Whether it is the furniture, ornaments or tableware displayed in the room, the appearance of peonies is depicted or depicted, and even the corner of the napkin is embroidered with peony flowers in full bloom. Where the Peony Hall came from is self-evident.

The clerk exited the room to urge the food, Xu Mu went around to the corner and looked at the guqin, "Brother, are all the real antiques in this store?"

Feng Yuan sat casually on the mahogany sofa, everyone who came to this store for the first time had the same reaction as Xu Mu, and couldn't help but study the furnishings in those rooms, just like going to a private museum, "Their boss is a collector who likes Chinese furniture, and it is said that most of the furniture is taken back by him or even repaired and renovated by himself." However, the ones that can be placed here to decorate the storefront should only be more than 100 years old. As for those porcelain ornaments, most of them are modern antique handicrafts. ”

"What about this piano?" Xu Mu pointed to the finely carved and lacquered guqin in front of him.

Feng Yuan glanced at the guqin out of the corner of his eye, and looked at Xu Mu narrowly, "I don't know, this peony hall is also my first time, otherwise, you ask it?"

Xu Mu: ..................

If it really answers, it must be a youkai!

"Forget it, it won't look like it for more than a hundred years. Xu Mu gave himself an ending, turned around and walked to the opposite side to look at the painting.

As soon as he took half a step, he heard a slightly immature voice, [Who said that it has been one hundred and fifty years since the old man became a spirit. 】

Xu Muyi stumbled and almost fell to the ground, indicating that he was frightened.

What!

Feng Yuan caught him quickly, and squinted at the guqin, "How old is it, I still fall when I walk on the ground." ”

Xu Mu sighed speechlessly, pretending that he hadn't heard anything, can I turn off this additional channel that receives non-human signals?

Because the dishes had been ordered in advance when the seats were reserved, the laborious dish of Buddha jumping over the wall had already been put on the stove in time, and Feng Yuan and Xu Mu entered the room less than five minutes ago, and the waiter brought three dishes and one soup to the table like a stream.

[Fragrant, really fragrant, according to the old man's view, today's Buddha jumping over the wall must be stewed very well. Xu Mu picked up the chopsticks and was about to pick up the vegetables, when the guqin in the corner suddenly said something again.

Let's go!

The chopsticks in Xu Mu's hand fell into the soup bowl.

He tried to restrain himself from looking at the other side of the voice, and no one paid attention to so many words?

The courier brother changed his chopsticks and wanted to coerce the shrimp, but the guqin spoke again, [The old man thinks that today's shrimp doesn't smell as fresh as yesterday's, but it's a pity. 】

You are only one hundred and fifty years old, and you are an old man, in front of those old monsters in the demon world who are hundreds or thousands of years old at every turn, you are still embarrassed to call yourself an old man!

Xu Mu secretly complained to himself, because it said that the shrimp was not fresh, so he subconsciously turned around and coerced the vegetables.

[Tsk, the fried three fresh ones look good, but it's a pity that they are vegetarian. 】

Dear, are you mixed up with the B station? Every node is floating out of the barrage!

Xu Mu reluctantly put down his chopsticks and decided to drink the soup first.

[The old man advises you not to drink the soup, last time a guest drank the soup and had diarrhea, and came back to complain. 】

Can you make a guqin quietly and let me have a meal in peace!

Xu Mu grinded his teeth and glared at the guqin angrily.

[Oh, don't look at the old man like this, the old man will be embarrassed, to be honest, you are too tender, and the old man still likes the one sitting next to you in terms of appearance. 】

You like it, I still like it! I can't get your turn in line! Xu Mu secretly wrinkled his nose at the guqin.

[Young man, you can hear me, right?] Guqin's tone suddenly changed, with a hint of pride.

It's so treacherous, it turns out that the front is all testing me!

Xu Mu looked at the roof speechlessly, and was actually played by a guqin!

[I've seen people who taste very similar to you before, you should also have the surname Xu, right?] Guqin continued.
