Lu Xuan Tang, a century-old shop, originated from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, the owner was to revitalize the ancestral palace cooking skills to open this restaurant, only to have a store in S City, no other semicolon.

The signboard is not only the dish of the Manchu court, the decoration reflects the flavor of old Beijing everywhere, the style of the Qing Dynasty court, from the outside it looks like a small Forbidden City, the pattern of the Forbidden City is finely imitated, the roof is made of yellow glazed tiles, the door nails on the red lacquer door are also exactly the same, an exterior wall also replicates the Nine Dragon Wall, with green, purple, white, blue, gold glaze to make the relief of the dragon, vivid.

After entering the gate is a rectangular pool, the pool is erected with a mortar arch bridge, surrounded by a white stone railing, the railing is carved with sea water and various aquarium patterns, and the chiaroscuro of light is cleverly used to highlight the sacred status of the emperor, and the mysterious atmosphere arises spontaneously, which brings out the wealth and imperial power table xiàn to the fullest, so that diners have a feeling that they are emperors.

Like many luxury hotels, Luxuantang is also a full box layout, no lobby, the names of the boxes are taken from the palace name of the Forbidden City, with excellent privacy, whether you are a celebrity or a government dignitary, as long as you arrive here, just eat with peace of mind, and no one will disturb you.

Geng Bumei booked the Taihe Palace, that is, the Jinluan Palace, to ask for a good fortune for his son's birthday, which is also quite compatible with Kang Qi's identity as a 'little prince'.

The decoration of the Taihe Hall is very gorgeous, the exterior beams of the interior are decorated with the seal color painting, the upper part of the doors and windows is embedded with the rhombic pattern, the lower part is the cloud dragon relief pattern, and then the gold brick paving, naturally it is not real gold, just the color is like, the brick is specially made in Suzhou, the surface is oily and bright, but it is not astringent and not slippery.

As soon as the four children saw the resplendor of the Taihe Palace, they screamed excitedly, touching east and west, as if they were visiting the Grand View Garden with Grandma Liu.

Jing Sa shouted: "Don't run around, go to Grandma Chen's place to wipe your hands, and you'll eat later!" ”

The four little radish heads immediately ran to the lounge attached to the box.

"Grandma wipes her hands!" Geng Zhishu stretched out his little paw and said in a milky voice.

"Good!" Chen's mother pinched his little face.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the waiters outside began to serve the dishes one by one, first 16 cold dishes, and then a bowl of pre-dinner seafood soup for each person to warm the stomach.

Because it was a child's birthday, and it was not a big birthday, the two families didn't plan to make a big deal, and An Hui, Ji Xiaonan's family, Jing Sa and Weibao's family, as well as Xiao Chen, Geng Bunian's parents have all passed away, so the old people only have Chen Bo and Chen's mother.

Wanwan put on birthday hats for Kang Qi and Geng Zhishu, today the two of them are the protagonists, Wei Jing and Ji Yun looked at them with envy.

An Hui smiled, "Look at the two of you who are greedy, it's not that you haven't worn it!" Wait until December and it's your turn! ”

After wiping their hands, the four little radish heads obediently sat on the child seat, their rules were adjusted well by their parents, and they were all in good order when eating.

When the hot dish reached the sixth course, the little ones were all satisfied, climbed out of their chairs and clamored to go out, and there was a children's play area outside, which they all saw when they came in.

"Okay, grandma will take you there!"

Chen's mother put down her chopsticks, she is easy to be full when she eats something at her age, and she can just digest it.

She was worried that Chen's mother was too tired with her four children and wanted to follow, so Chen's mother said: "It's okay, just watch them with your eyes and don't run around, how tired can you be, you young people eat more, my wife and I can cope with it." ”

Chen Bo nodded again and again, who said that his son has not married and had children until now, he can only tease other people's children to comfort his soul.

The play area outside is managed by a special waiter, after the child is taken in, Chen Ma and Chen Bo look through the railing, the waiter asks the name of the box, and sticks a sticker corresponding to the name of the box on the child's clothes, in case the child runs out of the play area while people are not paying attention, the waiter knows which box to send him to when he sees the sticker.

There weren't many kids in the amusement park, and the four little ones went completely crazy when they went in, drilling bridges and slipping slides, one after another, and competing to see who was the fastest.

Ji Yun yelled to go to the toilet after a while, and Uncle Chen took him out and took him to the nearest toilet.

As soon as the little guy left, Geng Zhishu and Wei Jing were also in a hurry, and Chen's mother saw that there was a caretaker in the play area, and she was not afraid that the child would get lost, so she left Kang Qi alone and took the two little ones to the toilet.

Kang Qi was hungry after playing for a while, and crawled out of the amusement park by himself, and the caretaker wanted to send him back to the box, but he didn't want to, saying that he knew the way, put on his shoes and ran quickly.

Unfortunately, he still ran in the wrong direction.

In the box that says Kunning Palace, the Xi family is celebrating Xi Shiyi's birthday, except for Xi Mingyue, who didn't come because of filming, everyone else has arrived.

Lu Meiling asked the waiter to serve the food, and said to Lin Zhensu: "Our family Mingyue is busier than Mingcheng now." ”

Xi Mingcheng, who is thirty, has a jade-faced Langjun taste, very similar to Lu Meiling, because his profession is developing as a diplomat, and his taste in dress is also very atmospheric, but there is always a trace of indescribable treachery in his eyes, hearing his mother say this, he smiled, "Grandpa loves me, no matter how busy I am, I have to come, Mom, don't blame Mingyue, she has been very busy recently, probably got a boyfriend." ”

Having a boyfriend is an implicit statement, synonymous with scandals, and the headline of entertainment news this morning is the news that Xi Mingyue stayed at a male star's house all night and did not return all night.

The two mothers and sons glanced at each other, and the light in their eyes was the same philistine and shrewd.

Xi Mingzhu only looked at his mobile phone and sent WeChat, and didn't bother to pay attention to them at all.

Lin Suzhen gives people a very sick beauty, although she is getting older, there is still a feeling of pity for me, she did not rush to refute, took out a handkerchief and coughed.

"Mom, why are you coughing again, hurry up and drink some water."

It was Xi Mingxu who spoke, although he was not born to the same mother as Xi Mingcheng, but he looked like him, and he inherited the advantages of his biological mother

inherited the advantages of his biological mother, his face is like a crown of jade, if he only talks about his appearance, he is even better, but he always looks like a hanger, his hair is dyed golden, he is wearing a black leather coat, and he also wears a diamond earring on his earrings.

Lin Suzhen took the teacup handed over by her son and took a sip, but she coughed even more.

Lu Meiling looked at her in disgust, every time it was this trick, how could she not spit out blood if she had the ability.

Xi Zhongyuan secretly pulled her sleeve, signaled her to stop, and then said to his brother Xi Zhongyu who was sitting opposite, "Brother, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and we want to have a drink tonight." ”

Xi Zhongyu just nodded.

Before these two people succeeded Xi Shiyi as their sons, they were the heirs of the Xi family branch, the sons of Xi Shiyi's cousins, and the famous families all pay attention to the difference between their descendants, and their own family is the heir of the Xi family, so although after the succession, the son can no longer call himself his father and mother, and the people who split the family also feel that it doesn't matter, the important thing is that the future is promising, and he can succeed Xi Shiyi as a son, and the carp jumps over the dragon gate is equivalent to the same meaning - after passing the door, you can become a dragon.

Xi Zhongyu is now working in the Ministry of Finance, although he is not a minister, but he is also a director, and he retired after the Spring Festival.

Xi Zhongyuan is the opposite of him, no matter what he does or speaks, he is the master of all sides, and now he is the deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, he often runs around and spends a lot of time away from home.

Xi Shiyi's most annoying thing is the intrigue between women, he doesn't know Lu Meiling's thoughts, her words are actually right, grandpa's birthday, granddaughter didn't even show his face, which means not taking him seriously, but Lin Suzhen is a woman who faints at every turn, he doesn't want to have a meal and has to call an ambulance.

"It doesn't matter if you come or not, eat!"

The old birthday star has spoken, who dares to make trouble, they all picked up their chopsticks and ate the food, at this time it must be right to talk less.

Halfway through eating, Xi Shiyi tried to go to the toilet on crutches, but Xi Zhongyuan got up to help him, but he stopped drinking.

"What to help, the toilet is outside, and I can't walk a few steps." The temper of the old man is like this, the more he reaches the age when he should serve the old, the more he must be reckless.

The Xi family knew his temper, so they simply didn't take a few steps, so they let him go by himself.

As soon as the toilet door opened, Xi Shiyi found that there was already someone inside.

Kang Qi was tiptoeing to wash his hands with his back to him, the little guy got lost when he was looking for a box, and caught up with the urgency of urinating, and happened to walk to the outside of Kunning Palace, the toilet attached to Kunning Palace was not in the box, at the corner of the outside, there were men's toilets and women's toilets, and he ran in when he saw the sign of men's toilets.

Xi Shiyi was about to ask who he was, when he suddenly saw Kang Xuan's immature little face in the mirror, he let go of his hand in shock, and the crutches in his hand fell to the ground.

"Shutong?" He didn't dare to take a step closer, for fear that it would be a dream in front of him.

Kang Qi turned his head when he heard the voice, glanced at the old man who was about to cry, then at the crutches on the ground, ran over to pick it up and handed it to him.

"Grandpa, don't cry, the crutches have fallen, I'll help you pick them up!"

Xi Shiyi looked at the child in front of him in disbelief, his appearance was exactly the same as his daughter who died early, if it wasn't for this child to speak, he really thought that he was wrong.

"Grandpa, don't you want crutches?"

He couldn't bear the excitement and couldn't even speak.

"Grandpa?" Kang Qi tugged at the hem of his clothes, "Your crutches!" ”

Xi Shiyi took it with shaking hands, but his eyes were still staring at him without blinking.

How could this kid be so similar to Shutong?

"Grandpa, you have to take your crutches, don't fall off again."

After saying that, he wanted to leave, but Xi Shiyi blocked his way.

Kang Qi raised his head, "Grandpa, are you okay?" ”

"I ......" Xi Shiyi just wanted to talk to him for a while, but he didn't know where to start, so he was anxious, so he said: "How can you be a girl who can go to the men's toilet and not lock the door." ”

Kang Qi turned around and crossed his waist, and Yan sù made a small face, "Who told you that I am a girl, I am a boy, no wonder you will drop your crutches, your eyes are not good." ”

"Boys?"

Xi Shiyi looked at him again from head to toe, how could this be a boy, it was clearly a female doll.

"Are you really a boy?"

"What are you lying to?" He snorted, "I won't tell you, I'm leaving!" ”

"Wait!" Xi Shiyi grabbed his shoulder, "What's your name?" ”

"Why should I sue you?"

"Don't get me wrong, I just think you're cute! By the way, grandpa has a birthday today, can you please eat cake? He inexplicably felt a sense of affection for the child.

Kang Qi immediately became vigilant, his mother had said that he could not talk to strangers casually, especially the kind of people who inexplicably said that he was very cute and wanted to invite him to eat.

"Not good!"

"Don't you like cakes?" Xi Shiyi is a father and a grandfather, and in his impression, children like cakes.

Kang Qi pointed to himself, "Today is also my birthday, and I also have a cake!" It's still a big cake! ”

"What a coincidence!?" Xi Shiyi was very surprised, and glanced at Kang Qi again. This time, I saw the stickers on his body.

Taihe Palace!

He changed his strategy again, "Grandpa will send you back, okay?" ”

He frowned, "I can go back myself!" ”

"If you could go back, you wouldn't be here." Kunning Palace and Taihe Hall are not in the same direction at all, and he is sure that the little guy is lost.

Kang Yan still shook his head, "No, I don't even know who you are, what if you're a bad person." ”

Xi Shiyi smiled, "You are the first person who dares to say that I am a bad person. ”

"Why?"

"Because don't

"Because everyone else is afraid of me!" Officialdom for many years, even if he doesn't deliberately, he is also an official, and he can't hide it, and his juniors will only bow their heads when they see him, how can he show favor like him, and he still treats him as a bad person.

"You brag!" Kang Qi was not convinced.

"Hahahaha......" Xi Shiyi was amused by him, and wanted to reach out and touch his little head, but he dodged it with his agility, "Grandpa showed you something?" ”

"What's that?"

Xi Shiyi took out his wallet from the inside pocket of his suit, opened it and pointed to a photo inside, "Who do you think she looks like?" ”

Kang Qi looked over, it was a photo of a little girl, about five or six years old, wearing a bright yellow dress, and her little face was a copy of Kang Qi.

"Me? No, no, I'm a boy! But the girl in the photo looks a lot like him.

"She's my daughter!" There was a touch of sadness in Xi Shiyi's eyes, "But she has passed away." ”

Kang Kai still understands the word death, because he told him about his parents.

"I was startled when I saw you just now, thinking it was my daughter back."

Kang Hao understood, "I see! ”

Xi Shiyi was glad that he understood, and said, "I just want to talk to you, as if my daughter is still alive." ”

"That's right......" he frowned, and finally shook his head, "Grandpa, it's not that I'm not busy with you, it's my mother who said that you can't talk to strangers." ”

"I know, I know, so let me send you back, and when your mother gets to know me, I'm not a stranger!"

Kang Qi looked at his sincere face and felt that this old man was quite pitiful.

"Okay, but let's talk about it first, my mother is very powerful, the martial arts instructor of the SWAT team, grandpa, if you are a bad person, you better run away quickly, otherwise my mother will see through it, and you will die!"

Yingying once said to him that there are many tricks for bad people to deceive children, pretending to be pitiful and sympathetic is one of them, asking him to remember that everything must have a long heart, he feels that he has grown up, this old man has a photo, it can't be fake, but for the sake of safety, it is better to scare and scare him first, if he is really a bad person, maybe he will retreat.

"SWAT instructor?"

Kang Hao nodded heavily, "Scared, right?" ”

His words made Xi Shiyi suddenly think of Yingyi, he didn't actually know that Yingying was a special police instructor, but this profession reminded him of Yingyi's father, and remembered that Yang Bo had told him that she had a child.

He looked at the little guy in front of him in shock, could it be...... This is her child.

"What's your mother's name?"

"Grandpa, why do you like to ask people's names so much?" Kang Qi felt more and more that this old man was very strange, it was better to leave quickly, although he was young, his flexibility was ten times better than Xi Shiyi, and he slipped away from him while he was not paying attention.

"You wait!" Xi Shiyi chased after him on crutches.

In the corridor, the waiter was looking for Kang Chen, who had previously returned to the amusement park with three babies, and after learning that he had returned to the box by himself, he also returned to the box with three babies, but he didn't see Kang Chen.

She didn't worry that her son would get lost, she had been teaching him how to protect himself since Kang Qi was three years old, and she was sure that he must have gone where to play, this hotel was quite big, she was the first time to come, it was inevitable that she didn't know the road, so she called a waiter, asking him to lead the way so that she could find her son.

As soon as he walked to the corner leading to Kunning Palace, he bumped into Kang Chen, who ran towards him.

"Xiaoqi, where have you been? If you know that grandma can't see you, you'll be worried. "I still have to say the heavy words, so that he won't run around at every turn in the future.

As soon as Kang Qi saw that his own mother was coming, he immediately pounced, "Mom, there's a strange grandfather chasing me!" ”

"Blame grandpa?"

As soon as this doubt landed, Xi Shiyi appeared on crutches.

She hadn't met Xi Shiyi, but Xi Shutong had shown her a photo of him, even though the old man in front of her was already gray-haired, and there was a big age gap between him and the man in the photo, but his facial features hadn't changed much, so she recognized it.

When Xi Shiyi saw her, he was stunned and froze.

The one in front of her is more like her daughter than Kang Qi.

"Xiaoqi, let's go!" 皛皛 took Kang Qi's hand, and she was extremely indifferent.

"Wait!" Xi Shiyi called out to her, "Are you Wanyi?" ”

"It's not!" She flatly denied it, and took Kang Qi to prepare to leave.

Xi Shiyi saw the indifference in her eyes and a faint disgust.

It's really her!

"Stop!" He roared, the crutch in his hand poked the ground fiercely, after all, it was a person who had been an official, and it was especially terrifying to be angry.

She sneered, why did she listen to him.

"What kind of attitude do you have, when you see me, you won't even call grandpa!"

"My grandfather has died!" Her grandfather was gone when his father was very young, where did she come from, besides, is he old and confused, how can he be her grandfather.

"Duanmu Wanjiang is really good at teaching his daughter, and he is so disrespectful that he teaches him!" Xi Shiyi's words were full of disgust.

She turned her head and condensed her eyes, she hated someone to slander her father the most, in her heart, her father was a man who stood up to the sky, a good father, and a good husband, he had a lot of advantages, but there was no so-called good background, no rich family background, and no right to be favored by the Xi family.

Xi family?

A hint of mockery crossed the corners of her mouth......

She never expected anything to change the old man in front of her.

In that case, why bother looking at both.

"Xiaoqi, let's go!"

"Oh!" Kang Qi glanced at Xi Shiyi and grimaced at him.

What Mom doesn't like, he doesn't like.

Xi Shiyi has a heart for him, this is his great-grandson, the first great-grandson.

great-grandchildren.

He hurriedly followed, "Your name is Xiao Xun?" Is it the search for it? ”

Kang Yan made a small face, "Don't sue you!" ”

"Don't you want to know who I am?"

He affirmed: "No! "A bad guy is a bad guy and you don't need to know who it is.

"Why!?" Xi Shiyi's old face froze again, how could this kid's temper be so bad.

"You say bad things about my grandfather, you are a bad person!"

The name Duanmu Wanjiang, Wanying has said more than once, in her description, Duanmu Wanjiang, that is, his grandfather, is a big hero.

Xi Shiyi shouted, "I'm your great-grandfather!" ”

"Huh!?"

He couldn't understand the title of great-grandfather, he raised his head and asked, "Mom, what is great-grandfather!" ”

She stopped and told him very clearly, "You don't have a great-grandfather!" ”

"Oh!" Kang Qi looked back at Xi Shiyi, "Mom said, I don't have a great-grandfather!" You're not just a bad person, you're a liar! ”

Xi Shiyi only felt that he was so angry with these two mothers and sons that he was about to have a cerebral hemorrhage, and was about to step forward to stop their way, but was discovered by Lu Meiling in the back.

"Dad, what are you doing here?"

After waiting for him in the box for a long time and not coming back, she and Xi Zhongyuan came out to look for him, and as soon as the door opened, she heard his roar, but she didn't hear what he said clearly, so she hurriedly came over to see what was going on, at first she didn't notice it, but when she got closer, she found out.

She had seen Xi Shutong's photo, and when she saw her holding a child, she immediately thought of who she was, but seeing that the two of them were dressed very plainly, especially because she didn't even have a decent piece of jewelry on her body, it didn't look like someone who could come to Luxuantang for dinner, so she could only think that this was a door-to-door relative.

She looked down on people with dog's eyes, "Your mother and son are really well-informed, the old man came here to celebrate his birthday so secretly, you can also know?" "But in my heart, I thought that after I went back, I must check that it was the person with a broken mouth who said it, and if I found it, I would be fired directly.

When she heard this, she retorted, "The people of the Xi family are really the same, and the dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth!" ”

Where did Lu Meiling suffer from such anger, and immediately raised her voice, "What do you say, who do you say is a dog?" ”

"Whoever barks loudest, who's the dog, oh no, insults the dog."

Lu Meiling worked hard to maintain the image of a noblewoman, but she was so angry that her whole body was trembling, "You are simply uneducated!" ”

"I don't think your upbringing is much better!"

"You're ......!" Lu Meiling's face was already blue.

"Enough, what a noise!" Xi Shiyi said angrily, "This is a restaurant, not a vegetable market!" ”

"Dad, look at her, she has no education, where is it like our Xi family's child, don't pay attention to her, let's go back to dinner." Lu Meiling glanced at her husband behind her.

Xi Zhongyuan was surprised when he saw Xuanxi, Xi Shutong was the proud daughter of the Xi family back then, every New Year's Day, the Xi family's own family and the branch family would get together to eat, he had seen the big one since he was a child.

This girl is very similar to Xi Shutong when she was young, but she is a little less gentle, she looks very difficult to mess with, and then look at Xi Shiyi, he has been staring at the child, as if he likes it very much.

That's not a good sign.

He hurriedly went up to support Xi Shiyi, "Dad, you have bad legs and feet, go back and sit down first, don't get tired." ”

Xi Shiyi was angry, and directly waved his hand away, with only the storage of Xuan and Kang Qi in his eyes.

Seeing that he refused to leave, Lu Meiling just wanted to persuade him, but was interrupted by Xi Zhongyuan, "Okay, Dad is here, how can you speak." ”

"How did you help outsiders?"

Xi Zhongyuan signaled her to shut up with his eyes, at this time, it would only disgust the old man.

She really didn't have a good impression of the Xi family, and she didn't want to waste time with them here, so she took Kang Yan's hand and left without looking back.

Xi Shiyi wanted to chase, but was stopped by Lu Meiling.

"You go away!"

"Dad, let Zhong Yuan go, don't go, Mingcheng Mingzhu is still waiting to give you a birthday."

"Yes, I'll chase them over now, you go back and wait, and I'll bring them back in a moment."

"Then you hurry up!" Xi Shiyi urged.
