Chapter 15 Constant fright, tears flowed
Xia Zimo stood in front of the door of the Drunken Wind Building and exclaimed: Why is the business here so good?
As soon as Xia Zimo and his party arrived, Xiao Er stepped forward to greet them: "Our store is full of guests, I don't know how many people can book a private room?" ā
"Lord Jin and General Xu have arrived?" Xia Zimo answered his question. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Xiao Er immediately turned over the useful information in his mind, he really didn't expect that the group of dignitaries and nobles who were waiting for it would be a child, but this also reflected the extraordinary identity of this little boy from the side, and he spoke more and more carefully: "Presumably Your Excellency is Xia Gongzi!" Several adults have been waiting for a long time, so please do so from Childe's side. ā
Pushing open the door, Xia Zimo saw two people in the room she didn't know. One of them has some similarities with Duanmu Li's appearance, so he must be the prince! Then, the rest is Zhongli Xue.
That person's first impression of Xia Zimo was cold, indifferent and cold, which was a little different from Cangqi's coldness. He is like an independent man in the world, and nothing in the world can arouse his interest; He is like a snowflake in winter, "holy", but only in the color of "white". I don't know if he closed his heart and pushed the world away, or if the world abandoned him, his loneliness made Xia Zimo extremely heartbroken. His appearance was not particularly outstanding, but his indifference broke into Xia Zimo's heart. She wanted to warm him for no reason and take him out of the ice and snow.
The appearance of Xia Zimo and his party also; It was a huge shock to the people in the house. Xia Zimo's cuteness, Li Qingyuan's wisdom, Cangqi's coldness, and graceful sunshine, completely different styles converge together and burst out with bright light.
Zhong Lixue and Duanmu Rui saw Xia Zimo for the first time, although they had heard of him before, they still couldn't believe their eyes at this time: such a young child would go to open a green building?
Xu Qianfeng had seen Cangqi, but he was not calm when he saw Wanrong, why did a beautiful man no less than him appear?
Xu Qianyue looked at her brother, and then turned around on the two beautiful men. When did the capital start to be full of beautiful men?
Duanmu Li thought: Is that old man Li Qingyuan? He's really invited!
Xia Zimo smiled and introduced the few people behind him: "Wanrong, Cangqi, Li Qingyuan." ā
If the audience wants to hit the wall, can't you be more detailed?
Duanmu Li saw this posture and hurriedly got up and introduced himself: "I am Duanmu Li. He pointed to the person on his right and said, "My fourth brother Duanmu Rui, next to me is Zhong Lixue, the son of the Ministry of Rites. Then he pointed to the person on the left and said, "General Xu Qianfeng Xu and his sister Xu Tianyue." ā
Everyone was speechless for a while after hearing this, not much stronger than just now!
Xia Zimo and his party were ready to take their seats.
Xia Zimo sat next to Xu Qianyue, which made Xu Qianyue blush, and secretly thought: Why are you sitting next to me, is he interesting to me?
Li Qingyuan sat next to Zhong Lixue, I don't know if talented people are attracted to each other?
Cang Qi sat next to Xia Zimo. I don't know anyone else, so it's better to sit next to the young master.
Wanrong originally wanted to sit next to Xia Zimo, but was preempted by Cang Qi, so she glanced at him indignantly and walked to Li Qingyuan and sat down.
Lunch officially began.
One dish after another was served. Xia Zimo, who watched it, was dumbfounded, all kinds of dishes that had never been seen before, I didn't know what kind of materials and methods they were made of. It's really a guest invited by the prince!
Xia Zimo asked curiously, "Do you know who the boss of this Drunken Wind Building is?" ā
Everyone shook their heads.
Duanmu Li said: "This drunken wind building has only been opened in recent years, and it has become famous overnight and has become the recognized number one restaurant in Beijing. As for who the boss behind the scenes is, it's really unclear. ā
Xu Tingfeng said: "At that time, this restaurant became popular all over the capital overnight, so that many people flocked to it. ā
Xu Qianyue was puzzled: "Xiaomo, why did you suddenly ask about this?" ā
Xia Zimo replied: "I want to invite the boss here to teach the Qinglou women cooking." ā
Duanmu Li said: "Xiaomo, your idea is difficult! ā
Wanrong said, "Young Master, don't worry so much about us. ā
As soon as this sentence came out, except for the three people who came with Xia Zimo, the remaining five people were shocked. What does Wanrong mean by that? Don't...... Is she a woman?
Duanmu Li asked with some trembling: "Xiaomo, is he a woman?" ā
Xia Zimo replied as a matter of course: "Of course, have you ever heard of a man called 'Wanrong'?" Xia Zimo wondered infinitely: Didn't these people find out before? She obviously didn't want to hide it!
They all thought her name was "Wanrong"!
Someone else asked, "Why is she wearing men's clothes?" ā
"Who says you have to be a man to wear men's clothes? Have you ever seen such a beautiful man? ā
Everyone looked at Xu Tianfeng.
"Alright! There is such a beautiful man. Xia Zimo was defeated, she just cared about rebuttal and forgot that there was a living example here. What a shot in the foot! With Xu Qianfeng there, no matter how beautiful a man is, he will not be suspected of being a woman disguised as a man.
Xia Zimo touched his nose and said, "Let's not discuss this issue, let's continue the topic just now - who is the boss of the Drunken Wind Building?" ā
This time, no one continued to speak.
After a long silence, a soft voice stunned everyone.
This whisper startled a thousand waves, and everyone looked at Zhong Lixue one after another, unable to believe their ears: Was it what he said just now?
Zhong Lixue maintained her characteristic indifference and said, "Do I need to be so surprised when I open a restaurant? ā
Everyone said in unison, "Of course it does." ā
No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a person who can open a restaurant. Who would have thought that a person with indifference in his bones would be interested in opening a restaurant, and it would be so successful.
Zhong Lixue's indifference finally cracked.
Everyone turned their attention to Xia Mo again: who would have thought that he would be the owner of a green house. It turns out that this world has long been mysterious, and the more impossible things are, the more likely they are to be real. Once again, everyone marveled at the wisdom of their predecessors, "A man shall not be disguised", O truth!
Xia Zimo cleared his throat and said calmly: "Why are you looking at me, eating!" ā
Everyone came back to their senses and realized that they were all people with status, how could they do such an impolite thing to keep staring at others.
Xia Zimo saw that everyone turned their eyes away, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief, it was really uncomfortable to be treated as a rare animal for people to see.
The room is unprecedentedly quiet...... Somewhat depressing......
This kind of dinner is not what Xia Zimo wants, everyone only cares about eating, how to contact "feelings"! She wanted everyone to eat this meal together, but in order to make Zhong Lixue agree to teach the piano!
"Zhong Lixue, in Xia Mo, I heard that Your Excellency is the first musician of the palace?" Xia Zimo opened his mouth hesitantly, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
I don't know if such a beginning can arouse his interest, I heard Duanmu Li say that he is a little difficult!
"Hmm." Zhong Lixue replied lightly
"If you ask you to teach you the art of the piano, I don't know what conditions are required?" Xia Zimo went straight to the point, and everyone panicked when they heard it.
That's too straightforward! Just now I said that I wanted to ask him to teach cooking, and now when it comes to piano skills, I should be more tactful!
Zhong Lixue didn't answer, raised her eyes and looked at Li Qingyuan beside her, and said, "Presumably this is Mr. Li Qingyuan, who is famous in the capital!" ā
Duanmu Rui stood up in surprise after hearing this, and said in disbelief: "Is this true?" "I just heard the name and didn't pay much attention to it, but I didn't expect it to be that person! I heard that this person has a very strange temper and is very difficult to get along with, and in the early years, his father wanted to ask him to be a concubine, but he was refused, why is he here now?
Li Qingyuan habitually stroked his black and white beard, and said with a smile: "I dare not be ashamed, I am just a scholar." ā
Everyone complained: You smile so brightly, where is a little modesty!
Xia Zimo thought to herself: If you were just a scholar, I could save a lot of trouble, I just didn't ask clearly, what happened to your internal injuries for so many years?
I have to say that Li Qingyuan is still not very real.
"What kind of conditions did he give when he asked you to teach?" Zhong Lixue pointed straight to the point. He's a sharp man, too!
"I only teach based on interests, not conditions." Li Qingyuan replied easily.
The crowd was clearly not convinced.
"Then why is the gentleman interested?" Zhong Lixue continued to ask.
"Because he's funny!" Li Qingyuan looked at Xia Zimo and said.
The crowd vomited blood: What kind of answer is this?
But Zhong Lixue didn't think so, he thought that it would be very interesting to be able to make this person interested. After looking at Xia Zimo's eyes for a few turns, he seemed to have finally made up his mind and said, "Okay, I promise you." ā
Everyone complained again: This promise is too fast! The conditions haven't been mentioned yet!
Xia Zimo smiled happily and said shamelessly: "Let's also teach cooking skills together!" ā
Everyone couldn't help but exclaim: this kid's heart is too strong, and his skin is thick enough!
"Good!" Zhong Lixue agreed without thinking about it.
"What do you want in return?" Xia Zimo asked.
"Look at it!" Zhong Lixue is just for interest, he is not short of money.
"When will it start?" Xia Zimo asked.
"Tomorrow!" Zhong Lixue thought for a while and replied.
The matter was so simple to finalize, Xia Zimo was extremely happy and continued to enjoy the full table of delicacies. At this time, she remembered one more thing: "Look, we are so familiar with each other, can we give a discount on our meals?" ā
"Yes."
"Can you keep me a private room?"
"Yes."
Everyone was surprised again, and then they followed Xia Zimo and said to Zhong Lixue, "We want it too!" ā
Zhong Lixue didn't even look at them, and said indifferently, "Impossible. ā
Everyone shed tears: why is the treatment so bad!
Later, everyone recalled the lunch, and the evaluation they gave was: surprise and tears. It's definitely not something their little hearts can handle. (hypocritical)
After a pleasant lunch, Xia Zimo and his party went back to Lichun Courtyard, Duanmu Li and Duanmu Rui went back to the Jin Palace, Xu Qianfeng and Xu Qianyue returned to the General's Mansion, and Zhong Lixue returned to his study and continued to deal with the things in the restaurant.
