Chapter 8 Dinner at the bookstore
Originally, out of politeness, Yun Dekai, his wife, and daughter deliberately arrived a quarter of an hour early, who knew that Adjutant Bai was already waiting at the door of the Wyatt Hotel. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info saw that the Yun family's car had arrived, and Adjutant Bai politely came to open the door in person. Yun Dekai hurriedly got out of the car to greet him: "How dare you work Adjutant Bai?" ”
Adjutant Bai was neither humble nor arrogant, because of the height difference, he bent down slightly and said, "President Yun doesn't have to be polite, the Overseers have been waiting for a long time. ”
Yun Dekai was suddenly a little flattered, and said in a loud voice: "How dare you, how dare you!" ”
Yun Ziyu walked beside him, silent, but there was a little drumming in his heart, and his mother said that she had leaked her mouth during the day, she knew, but she didn't know if she had discussed it with her father.
Adjutant Bai led them all the way to the private room, Jiang Shixun was indeed there, along with Jiang Lizhi and a middle-aged woman who was very white and rich. Ziyu knew in her heart that this was Mrs. Jiang. The two sides smiled and exchanged pleasantries for a moment, and Jiang Shixun introduced Yun Dekai with a smile. Zi Yu guessed well, the rich woman, sure enough, was Mrs. Jiang, and she looked like a group of kind. Yun Dekai also introduced his family.
After the two sides took their seats, Adjutant Bai ordered the food to be served. They are all the specialties of the Wyatt Hotel, chrysanthemum drunken fish, steamed crab...... A large table was set up in a variety of ways.
Before he started, Jiang Shixun said: "Determination, Miss Yun is a girl, you take care of it!" ”
Jiang Lizhi immediately agreed energetically: "Dad, don't worry, I'll take care of Miss Yun!" ”
When he said this, Zi Yu immediately lost his appetite. However, she has been born in everyone since she was a child, and today is an important banquet, no matter what, she will not tear down her father's stage, she barely ate some, and she said that she was full.
Mrs. Jiang immediately said: "Determination, you accompany Miss Yun to go out for a walk, you young people are easy to talk together, and it is boring to accompany us." "Obviously there's something to say.
Ziyu couldn't shirk it, so she had to stand up and walk outside, and before going out, she heard Mrs. Jiang pull her mother and say: "Ling Yan is really outstanding, among the young girls in Minzhou, if you say second, I'm afraid no one dares to call it first, right?" I don't know ......."
Jiang Lizhi followed from behind, but Ziyu had to speed up his steps and walk out, and the words behind him could not be heard.
When I got out of the private room, I didn't know where to go. I have been to the Huiyue Hotel a few times, and I know that there is a small garden behind, which is not big, but the scenery is pleasant, but at this time, I am with Jiang Lizhi, and I always have to avoid suspicion. After hesitating, I heard Jiang Lizhi say, "Miss Yun is returning from abroad?" ”
Ziyu smiled politely: "It's just that I accompanied my brother to study for two years, it's nothing." ”
Jiang Lizhi was stunned for a moment, and finally found the topic again: "I know there is a bookstore nearby, do you want Miss Yun to go and have a look." ”
There was nowhere to go left and right, Ziyu nodded. The bookstore was really not far away, and the two of them walked for a quarter of an hour to arrive. It's a bookstore, but it's more like reading near the school when I was in France. Books are free to read, and you can spend an afternoon in them by ordering a cup of coffee, but if you want to borrow them or buy them, you have to keep a separate account.
Ziyu didn't know that there was such a place in Minzhou, after entering, she took a cursory look, and the book was still relatively complete, there were many original foreign novels, and there were also translations of current literary masters. After shopping around, Ziyu found the translation of Mr. Shiyu that she had been looking for, and the bookshelf was a little high, so she tried it, but she couldn't reach it. Just as he was about to ask the staff inside for help, there was a sudden darkness above his head, and Jiang Lizhi took down the book and handed it to her.
"Thank you!" Ziyu smiled politely.
Jiang Lizhi said in a timely manner: "There are still many thread-bound ancient books upstairs, do you want to go and see them?" ”
Ziyu politely thanked him: "No need, I'm not interested in ancient books." "It's just that the people who are traveling with you are wrong, just an excuse. Ziyu's three brothers are all enlightened in private schools, and under the influence of her ears and eyes, her ancient literary background is also very good.
took the book and found a place by the window to sit down, Jiang Lizhi ordered a cup of coffee for her, and asked, "If Miss Yun is noisy, there is a private room upstairs." ”
Yun Ziyu smiled: "The young marshal is so polite, it really makes the little girl embarrassed." It's good here, I love the music. ”
It was rare for her to say so many words at one time, Jiang Lizhi suddenly felt flattered, and wanted to say something more, but Zi Yu's gaze moved back to the book. Jiang Lizhi sighed silently, got up and took a book and sat down to read.
If it weren't for the previous incident, Yun Ziyu would almost have thought that he was really a gentle person. She flipped through the book in her hand, and just as she wanted to pick up the coffee, she heard someone whisper: "What a coincidence, how can Cheng Xuan have the leisure to come here to read?" "Chengxuan is Jiang Lizhi's word, Jiang Dujun said it when he introduced him just now.
Jiang Lizhi seemed to be afraid of arguing her, so he stood up and went to the place near the door to talk. Ziyu heard his voice slowly moving away: "What about me?" Didn't you, who haven't touched a book for 800 years, come here too? ”
"It's not because of my cousin...... Are you going to go to polo tomorrow? ……”
The voice fades down. Yun Ziyu turned his head to the window, and it was already early on outside, and all kinds of beautiful neon lights were gradually lit up, and the light and shadow were swaying. Zi Yu's gaze suddenly stayed at the door of the Lili Department Store opposite. A man in a long black trench coat on the porch lowered his head and lit a cigarette, his head covered most of his face with a topper of the same color.
Seeing this figure, Ziyu's heart jumped violently uncontrollably. She involuntarily glanced at the door of the bookstore, where Jiang Lizhi and his friends, who were originally talking, were no longer there. She picked up her handbag, stood up and walked out. There was a lot of traffic in front of Lili Department Store, and the man was gone. It was only at this time, when the cold wind blew on her body, that Ziyu realized that she was in such a hurry to come out and do it.
However, the left and right have already come out, and she doesn't plan to go back, so she goes to the Wyatt Hotel by herself. The night of Minzhou is bright and prosperous. Rickshaws rushed past her, the honking of the car and the bell of the tram mingling. In the distance, someone sang a beautiful song, and the song was like smoke in the night sky......
When Ziyu returned to the Wyatt Hotel, the table had been withdrawn, and coffee and desserts were served according to Western customs.
Seeing that she was the only one who came back, the people in the private room looked at her with a strange gaze. Ziyu didn't explain, but after seeing the salute, he came in and sat down. Madame Jiang finally couldn't hold her breath and glanced at Mrs. Yun. Mrs. Yun gave a reassuring smile back and asked Ziyu, "Why are you alone?" What about the young marshal? ”
Ziyu smiled: "The young marshal met a friend and said that they would discuss tomorrow's polo match together......" She said this, her voice lowered, and there was a trace of grievance in her tone.
Mrs. Jiang really counted: "This child is so old, and he is still so playful!" Go back and help you teach him a lesson! ”
How did you become an aunt? Zi Yu didn't know what his parents talked about with Jiang Dujun, so he didn't want to object rashly, so he only said vaguely: "No need, it's nothing, thank you, madam." ”
