Chapter 17 The years are like water
As soon as Gu Xiaofan sat down, he greeted in a loud voice, "Guy-let's have a saltwater edamame!"
An honest-looking shopkeeper immediately greeted him, "This girl, where are edamame beans in spring, what do you want are soybeans?" But there is only soybean and pig's knuckle soup in the shop, and there are really no salted soybeans." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Yes, yes, edamame should not be ordered. Gu Xiaofan scratched his head in embarrassment, and laughed, "Then what do you have here, help me recommend it." β
"Cut-" Lu Qianqian's mouth twitched, and put the floral burden in his hand on the table, "Man, let's have two taels of braised beef, a steamed sea bass, a plate of shallots mixed with tofu, and two bowls of shrimp wonton." β
Gu Xiaofan listened to Lu Qianqian's order, and while knocking on the bamboo chopsticks, he kept nodding his head, and chattered, "Yes, yes, yes......"
"Two taels of braised beef, one steamed sea bass, one plate of shallots mixed with tofu, two bowls of shrimp wonton......" The shop guy quickly reported the name of the dish, and asked habitually, "Girl, is that?
Gu Xiaofan hurriedly looked at Yan Xu and asked, "Ah Xu, do you still need to order a pot of wine to warm up?"
Yanxu kept sitting quietly with his eyes down, and did not speak, and he didn't answer when he heard Gu Xiaofan's question, but said lightly to the shopkeeper, "Add another braised pork." β
Bamboo chopsticks hit the ground.
Lin Yiren raised his eyebrows and looked, only to see Gu Xiaofan's body shaking, and his expression was a little strange.
The shopkeeper seemed to notice that something was wrong with Gu Xiaofan, "What's wrong with the girl?"
"No, no," Gu Xiaofan licked his lips and bent down to pick up the chopsticks, "Just change a pair......"
The moment he picked up the chopsticks, Gu Xiaofan's sleeve hooked the floral burden on the table.
"Oh, be careful!" Lu Qianqian pulled the burden dissatisfied. The floral wrapper opens a corner, and on the light purple skirt, the white flowers are enchanting and beautiful.
"What a beautiful dress. Gu Xiaofan put down his chopsticks, looking envious, but he didn't reach out to touch them.
"Of course. A hint of pride flashed in Lu Qianqian's beautiful eyes, "Senior brother's vision has always been excellent, and he bought it for me at the right time." β
Gu Xiaofan laughed dryly, "Senior sister must be beautiful when she wears it." β
The corners of Lin Yiren's eyes swept over his words slightly, and he saw that he was still cold and lonely, like a shadow standing alone in the vast world, so light that he was not stained with a trace of smoke and dust.
Soon, the shopkeeper served the meal with great hospitality. Beef, sea bass, tofu, wonton, and braised pork, although not a delicacy, are also fragrant and appetizing.
Lu Qianqian picked up the chopsticks, picked out a piece of braised pork with moderate fat and thinness, and put it into the Yanxu bowl, with a smile in her eyes, "Senior brother, you like to eat braised pork the most, I almost forgot about it before." β
"Thank you, junior sister. Yanxu picked up the braised pork and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, as if he was tasting the most beautiful taste in the world.
"Senior brother," Lu Qianqian smiled and whispered to her words, "I saw windmills selling at roadside stalls before, and they are very beautiful. β
Yanxu picked up the spoon and took a shallow sip of wonton soup, "I'll buy one for you on the way back to the inn in a while." β
"Thank you, senior brother!" Lu Qianqian's eyebrows and eyes lit up.
"Division...... Senior brother," Gu Xiaofan poured tea for Yan Xu, held it in both hands and handed it over, with a hint of restraint in his voice, "Drink tea." β
Yanxu looked at the teacup and stretched his chopsticks towards the perch.
Gu Xiaofan hurriedly put down the teacup, picked up the chopsticks and said, "I'll help you pick out the thorns." β
"Hey, Gu Xiaofan," Lu Qianqian impatiently blocked Gu Xiaofan, "Only you will take care of Senior Brother? There are no spines in the perch at all, what are you pretending to be!"
"No thorns?" Gu Xiaofan was slightly stunned, put down his chopsticks, and pinched his skirt crampedly, "That'...... Senior brother use slowly. β
Lu Qianqian was obviously in a very good mood, eating quickly, and eating slowly and very little, while Gu Xiaofan sat quietly on the side, watching the two of them eat without saying anything.
In the corner of the restaurant, Lin Yiren looked at the spring bamboo shoots and wild duck pot in front of him, and sighed secretly. He has always been picky about food, if he hadn't heard Gu Xiaofan mention that there was this dish in the Piaoxiang Pavilion before, he wouldn't have been curious to order it and want to try it. But when the spring bamboo shoots and wild duck pot were placed on the table, the Lin Yi people thoroughly knew the difference between three taels of silver and thirty taels of silver.
Lin Yiren reluctantly pushed away the wild duck pot, picked up the teacup, took a shallow sip, and suddenly his complexion changed greatly, and he squirted out the tea in embarrassment.
The teacup jingled and rolled, and was caught by a fair-skinned and slender hand before it landed. A graceful figure stood in front of Lin Yiren, as cold as jade.
"This boy seems to have been watching us for a long time. Yanxu put the teacup on the table and quietly looked at Lin Yiren.
Lin Yiren coughed lightly, took out a brocade handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped the corners of his lips, and said to himself, "Even though it is a restaurant, tea should not be so difficult to swallow." β
Yan Xu's eyes flashed, "If it weren't for the fact that this tea was difficult to eat, I was afraid that Gongzi would still hide his head and tail, so I don't know why." β
"This must be the son of Yanxuyan. Lin Yiren glanced at Gu Xiaofan lightly, and saw that she was staring at him in shock, obviously not expecting to meet him here, and immediately teased, "Shen Donglian, the hall master of the Lower East Fence Thatched Cottage, is doing some medicinal material trading in the rivers and lakes, and I was fortunate enough to get acquainted with the Gu girl of your sect before, I just wanted to come and say hello to her, and I had no other intention." β
Yanxu frowned slightly, and looked back at Gu Xiaofan, "You know?"
"I don't know!" said Gu Xiaofan.
Lin Yiren said unhurriedly, "At that time, Miss Gu left a token for Zai Xia as a witness to each other's friendship, but unexpectedly, she forgot about it completely in a blink of an eye, which made people a little embarrassed. β
Gu Xiaofan saw that Lin Yiren had knocked on the side to remind her not to forget about Chen Yanling, her expression was immediately a little panicked, and she slapped her forehead at the moment, and suddenly said, "Senior brother, I remember, this person is a ...... I met when I was walking the rivers and lakes A friend I hadn't met for a long time, so I hadn't been able to recognize him before. β
"Young Master Yan," Lin Yiren dusted off the tea stains on his sleeves, "I have always been very happy with Miss Gu's ability to be honest, I wonder if Young Master Yan also feels the same way?"
Yanxu glanced at Gu Xiaofan, and hugged his fist towards Lin Yiren, "Xiaofan is still young, if there is anything that offends Hall Master Shen before, I hope that Hall Master Shen will bear one or two." β
"Where is the words of Yan Gongzi," Lin Yiren said lightly, "I once heard Miss Gu mention the interesting story with Yan Gongzi when she was a child, and I felt a lot of feelings in my heart, and I couldn't help but feel pity, so I want to invite Miss Gu to travel the rivers and lakes together, and experience the taste of Jinranqi friends and piano and sword drifting, I don't know what Yan Gongzi thinks?"
Yan Xu's face sank, and a fierce color flashed in his eyes, sharp as a cold snow blade.
Gu Xiaofan knew that Lin Yiren's move was to fight back against his previous lies, and couldn't help but be annoyed, "Shen Donglian, you are talking nonsense!"
After that, a series of pleasant and clear voices were wrapped in a swift and sharp momentum, and came straight to the door of Lin Yiren's face.
Lin Yiren snorted coldly and easily avoided Gu Xiaofan's attack.
"Come back. In just a few breaths, Yanxu's eyes returned to cold and alienated again, without a trace of waves.
"Senior brother," Gu Xiaofan suddenly withdrew his hand when he heard this, and stammered, "He is open-mouthed, I ...... I ......"
"My sister really has a lot of friends. Lu Qianqian sneered, and stubbornly blocked Gu Xiaofan's weak defense.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant didn't know why Lin Yiren and Gu Xiaofan had a dispute, and he was worried that the fight between the two sides would damage the tables and chairs, so he hurriedly accompanied Xiao to report the two tables of meal money.
"This son," the shopkeeper said to Lin Yi carefully, "you have three taels of silver here, and the tea is given to you by the restaurant." As he spoke, he turned around and looked at the three of Yanxu, recognized the gold master, lowered his eyebrows and said to Yanxu, "This son, you have seven taels of silver here, and the tea is also given to you by the restaurant." β
Lin Yiren pointed to Gu Xiaofan and said to the shopkeeper, "Her will pay my three taels of silver." Then he seemed to think of something, frowned and said, "You don't have to send this tea tomorrow, it's just unappetizing!"
"This ...... This girl pays?" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and looked at Gu Xiaofan blankly.
"Shen Dongli," Gu Xiaofan hurriedly took a few steps forward and stopped Lin Yiren, "I have nothing to do with you, why should I help you pay for food!"
Lin Yiren stopped, as if he hadn't heard Gu Xiaofan's scolding, turned to Yanxu and said, "This girl borrowed ten taels of silver from me, which is just enough to pay for today's meal. β
"Damn!" Gu Xiaofan couldn't bear it anymore, and the extremely tough bell rope shot again.
Lin Yi's figure flashed, "I'll give you a spirit pill to dissolve the cold poison, you can do it, and you will take revenge on me." β
"Why do you always trouble me!" Gu Xiaofan was embarrassed and angry, and the attack was even more fierce, and one after another silver mangs shot out with bursts of clear voices, tricky and weird, unpredictable, and unguardable.
Lin Yiren suddenly swept out of the restaurant obliquely, "Gu Xiaofan, you only have ten taels of silver, if you smash the tables and chairs of the restaurant, why don't you want me to borrow two taels of silver to compensate the store?"
"Bastard!" Gu Xiaofan's face turned red, his footsteps were light, and he chased after him, and the extremely tough bell rope hit Lin Yiren's back.
"I don't have a long memory!" A chill flashed in Lin Yiren's eyes, and with a flick of his fingertips, a strong wind suddenly slid across Gu Xiaofan's shoulder blades.
A bone-piercing pain suddenly came from his left shoulder, Gu Xiaofan screamed, and hurriedly withdrew his hand and flipped back.
Lin Yiren brushed his sleeves and swiped lightly in the air, cutting Gu Xiaofan's right wrist directly, Gu Xiaofan's expression changed greatly, and the extremely tough bell rope in his hand was almost uncontrollable, his body was unstable, and his square inch was chaotic.
Phewββ
A cold momentum was like a broken bamboo, and it attacked the Lin Yi people with an unstoppable momentum.
Lin Yiren only felt a cold glow in his eyes, as if a stream of arrows broke through the sky, and he couldn't help but be secretly frightened in his heart, and he flew up quickly. A piece of silver light flashed, and the cold light in the sky disappeared in an instant, quietly hiding in the palm of Lin Yiren's hand.
"Hall Master Shen is very skilled. Yan Xu slowly walked out of the restaurant, his expression was light, as if he had never made a move, just strolling in his backyard.
The corners of Lin Yiren's lips hooked slightly, and he said calmly, "Each other." β
"The two sons," the shopkeeper trembled, anxiously holding the bill and chasing out of the restaurant, "If there is any misunderstanding, can you settle the meal payment first......
Yanxu raised his sleeves slightly, stopped the shopkeeper from nagging, threw out ten taels of silver, and said to Lin Yi, "Today, I invite Brother Shen." β
With that, he stopped looking at everyone and turned to leave.
"Senior sister," Lu Qianqian sneered and said to Gu Xiaofan, "Since you and Hall Master Shen are in love, why bother pestering Senior Brother?"
"I'm ......" Gu Xiaofan opened his mouth, looking at the back of Yan Xu in the distance, his expression was dejected.
Lu Qianqian didn't wait for Gu Xiaofan to explain, and hurriedly followed the footsteps of Yanxu.
The night was quiet, and the shops lined up on Changsheng Street put out the candles one after another. Gu Xiaofan stood in the moonlight for a long time, motionless, casting a long oblique shadow behind him, lonely as night.
