In the evening, Xie Hengxu and his group returned to the city, and along the way, they felt that the people on the street looked at him with strange eyes, and even whispered to each other.

couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and lowered his eyes to see if there was anything wrong with him.

Naturally, everyone in the same group also noticed something unusual, and they all looked at Xie Hengxu, and the brocade and silver-robed boy at the head turned around with a smile and said, "General Xie is really loved by the people in this capital. ”

The phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, Xie Hengxu smiled toothily, and said bluntly, "Jinxiang Hou praised, Zixu didn't dare to do anything." ”

Jinxiang Hou Chuxi chuckled when he heard this, "I heard that the famous 'Diners' of the Xialan Dynasty is General Xie's private property, and it is rare to enter Beijing this time, does General Xie also take me to taste the food of the 'Diners' main building?" ”

Hou Chuxi of Jinxiang, eighteen cities north of Jinjiang are under the control of the Chu family, the best food in his life, he has traveled all over the restaurants of the Xia Lan Dynasty, and the food is like dice to gamblers, and wine is to drunkards.

Xie Hengxu naturally agreed, and rode his horse first to take everyone to the 'Diners'.

As soon as he got off the horse, Xie Hengxu felt that something was wrong, the 'diners' who used to have a dense source of customers, today there is no one even on the first floor.

Everyone behind them looked at each other, and it was not that they had not been to the first floor in the past few days in the capital, and it was the first time they had seen such a crowd of 'diners'.

With frowning eyebrows, Xie Hengxu stepped in, his eyes swept to Uncle Wen who was going downstairs, and said loudly, "Uncle Wen, this is today." Before he could finish his words, he saw the little guy coming in and out of the busy second floor with several doors open to the dilapidated wolf bèi's elegant room, and he couldn't help but have a phoenix eye.

"Master Xu." Seeing that it was him who came back, Uncle Wen hurriedly went downstairs to greet him, and seeing that his expression was wrong, he hurriedly said, "It was the Hou Shizi of Xiyue who had an unpleasant quarrel with the third master of Huafu Ju, and broke a few elegant rooms by mistake." ”

Before he could finish speaking, Xie Hengxu reprimanded sternly, "Wrong hand? After eating a leopard, dare to smash my restaurant, what about people?! ”

Uncle Wen bowed slightly, and coughed when he heard the words, "Xuye is angry, the matter has been resolved, the Hou Shizi of Xiyue and the third master of Huafu Ju have signed the arrears, and they will be repaid within three days." ”

"Repay?" , Xie Hengxu laughed angrily, "Delayed my business, and I want to smooth it out with just a few pieces of silver?" That's what you deal with? ”

Uncle Wen looked ashamed and hung his head to stop talking, then he heard a soft and gentle female voice coming from upstairs, and immediately his face was relieved and relieved.

"I can't find you all over, so Mr. Liu will go to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion to communicate, this matter is handled by me, if 36,000 taels is not enough to make up for your business, how do you want to deal with it, let's hear it."

Everyone looked up, and saw a little beauty standing on the veranda on the third floor with a clear snow coat and a delicate posture.

Xie Hengxu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, and raised his hand to signal her to come down.

Glancing at him, Tillian paced down the vermilion stairs, she walked slowly, the skirt that fell to the ground was like ripples on the steps, the blood of the silver branches and red petals on the waist side and Tillian were enchanting, gently swaying and lifelike, and the silver silk pearls falling from the side of the bun fell on the side of the white jade-like slender neck, swaying and charming.

Everyone was amazed and obsessed, Jinxiang Hou Chuxi's eyes narrowed slightly, this woman's temperament is obviously like a hollow valley orchid, noble and elegant, but the demonic aura that is difficult to hide in every move is really moving, what a wonderful person.

Seeing her come down, Xie Hengxu stepped forward, his dark eyes soft, "Since you came forward, you must not be able to lose money, thirty-six thousand taels is enough." ”

Glancing at him, Tilian didn't say a word, but looked at the people behind him with her eyes crooked, and asked, "Is it okay to dabble in Lin Yuan today?" ”

Glancing back, Xie Hengxu smiled and said, "I have gained a lot." Then he raised his hand to introduce Di Lian, "This is the Jinjiang Jinxiang Marquis, and these people behind him are all Chu family brothers who entered Beijing together." ”

Seeing that he was going to introduce Di Lian, Chu Xilang interrupted with a smile, "General Xie doesn't need to be introduced, let Ben Hou guess." After that, he looked at Di Lian and said with a smile, "Such a demeanor and appearance are none other than Miss Di Lian, the daughter of the left minister, the first beauty in the capital, and she really belongs." ”

Hearing that he was so funny, Di Lian lowered her eyes and smiled, "Hou Ye praises falsely, the first time we meet, today Di Lian and Zixu should hold a banquet to treat Hou Ye and several sons, so it is not rude." ”

Chu Xi laughed and said, "Then Ben Hou is not welcome, the usual vegetarian Ben Hou of the 'Diner Huan' main building has already seen it, Miss Jiang don't fool me casually, Chu Xi is the most easy in his life, but this food is extremely high." ”

Di Lian smiled, her eyes were like a crescent moon, "Di Lian has already heard of it, so please look forward to it." ”

Foodie yes? That's really like-minded, Tillian was a dead and withdrawn person in her previous life, and the biggest thing she paid attention to was the word 'eat', which will definitely not disappoint you.

After instructing Uncle Wen to personally lead the group up to the elegant room on the second floor, Xie Hengxu asked in a low voice, "What happened?" ”

Looking sideways, Di Lian said softly, "When I came, the two of them had smashed the elegant chamber like this, there was a Gyeonggi army guarding outside the door, and the three people outside the third floor were watching, and the wealthy families in the restaurant did not leave, saying that Xiyue Ji and Hua Shaoju had a conflict, but those two people looked at them and were not misbehaving, I am afraid that there is an inside story." ”

Xie Hengxu frowned slightly, "One is the Marquis of Shudi, and the other is far away in southern Hunan, what kind of nonsense will these two mansions have to do with it." ”

Tillian blinked and said in a clear voice, "Now that this matter is known all over the city, I will find out what my father means tonight." Once the room is cleaned up, you take a closer look at any suspicious spots in the house. ”

Nodding slightly, looking at the sky outside, Xie Hengxu said, "I'll send you back to the house first." ”

Di Lian shook her head, "You go up, the Chu family and the Xie family are world friends, so don't slack off, I'll go back by myself." Without waiting for him to speak, he left.

Xie Hengxu personally helped her into the car when he went out, watched the carriage drive away, and returned to the restaurant.

At this time, the sky had darkened, and the carriage was dim and unclear, Tillian leaned against the wall of the carriage and supported her forehead with one hand to think carefully, and when she was in a trance, she felt that the carriage stopped, and her expression moved slightly and slowly sat upright.

An old and deep voice came from outside the carriage, "Yun Hou respectfully invites Miss Tilian to enter the mansion to see you." ”

Yunhou? The moon's eyes narrowed slightly, and Tillian tilted her head in confusion.

The next day, he was still invited to go to the Hou Mansion.

At the end of spring, the flowers in the garden of Yunhou's mansion were still in full bloom, and Tilian followed the old man who led the way through the winding path, and the closer she got to the flower hall, she saw Yunhou's figure.

After another three years, the sixty-thirty-year-old Yunhou looked even older, his original gray hair was now covered with snow, and when he saw Tillian, a smile appeared on his face, and the spirit in this smile made Tillian feel that the old man was still very healthy.

Sitting down slowly, Di Lian looked down at the tea set on the stone table, the elegant fragrance of tea in the air made her smile lightly, picked up the purple sand lamp in her hand and said, "Master Hou really knows Di Lian and knows that I love tea." ”

"Tea is slightly bitter and mellow, flowing into the lungs and sweet aftertaste, people who know the tea ceremony do not love it, just because it is too mundane to cook it, only ordinary people can not afford to buy good tea will take it to entertain guests."

Hearing him say this, Tillian laughed, "Everyone has their own likes and dislikes, Tillian loves it alone, no matter how the cooking experience changes, whether it is difficult or casual, the final taste of mellowness, only this process will not change." ”

Yun Hou was silent, and sighed with a smile for a while, "A wise person like Miss Tilian sounds so affectionate today. ”

Gently put down the purple sand lamp, Di Lian sat with her sleeves folded, laughed to herself and said shallowly, "Everyone in the world uses the tea ceremony to talk about a person's life, and it makes sense for Hou Ye to say this, after all, Di Lian is still a woman, and women are all affectionate." ”

With a smile in his old eyes, Yun Hou shook his head, "Miss Tilian, she is not an ordinary woman, in front of me, there is no need to be presumptuous." ”

With a bend of the moon's eyes, Tilian asked bluntly, "Master Hou invited me to come this time, I have something to say, but I can speak bluntly." Tilian thinks that the tacit understanding between me and Hou Ye over the years can be cited as a friend who forgets the year, and Hou Ye has repeatedly helped me without remembering the return, but whenever Hou Ye speaks, Di Lian should do her best. ”

"Ben Hou is to value Miss Tilian's courage and tenacity." , Yunhou drank it all in one gulp instead of tea, and the smile between his eyebrows and eyes was slight.

"I don't know if Miss remembers that three years ago, Benhou had a birthday banquet and specially handed Miss an invitation."

Tilian bowed her head and raised her eyebrows slightly, "I expected that Hou Ye had something to say that day, but since I mentioned it again today, Hou Ye will say it bluntly." ”

"Then the Japanese Hou originally wanted to have a detailed discussion with the young lady's study after the banquet, but he never thought that when the general returned to Beijing, such an accident would happen." , The old eyes stared at Tilian, and Yunhou looked solemn.

"Change?" , Tillian was puzzled.

"I wanted to go to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage after asking the young lady's opinion, but I didn't expect Ben Hou to expect a wrong Xie Hengxu."

Propose? Di Lian's face couldn't hide her surprise, if she didn't understand correctly, could it be that Yun Hou had planned to marry her for Yun Shili?

Seeing that she couldn't hide her stunnedness, Yun Hou laughed and sighed, "Since Miss Tilian has now promised the Xie family, this matter will not be mentioned by Ben Hou, but if Miss has not been out of the cabinet for a day, Ben Hou will not ask to marry another woman for Shili." I invited Miss Tilian here today in the hope that Miss can form an alliance with my Yunhou Mansion and manage the industry together. ”

Mutual industry? Yue's eyes widened, these four words attracted her attention more than the previous words, the Yun family's industry spread all over the continent and all walks of life, so what she meant by empathy was that she couldn't think too much, right?

Di Lian smiled lightly and asked, "Master Hou, if there is something that Di Lian can help, Di Lian will do her best, but this is reasonable." ”

Yun Hou smiled, sighed and said, "Most of the Yun family's industries have been handed over to Shili to manage, Ben Hou is now old, many things have more than enough and not enough, he can't speak, even if he has an arm to help in business, in the final analysis, he is still at a disadvantage, a few years later, Ben Hou will return to the land, neither do you want the Yun family's many years of foundation in his hands to be difficult, nor do you want him to face this worldly and cold world alone, since Miss Tilian led me to forget the year, Ben Hou believes in you and will help him." ”

This topic is a bit heavy, Di Lian lowered her eyes and sighed, Yun Shili is frail and sick and unable to speak, the burden of the Yun family's business is too big, and it must be unbearable to suddenly all of it on him, but.

"Master Hou, please forgive me for saying bluntly, Di Lian is indeed a little crooked, but when it comes to doing business, in front of many businessmen's old-timers, Di Lian is really a little tender, the burden of the Yun family's industry is too heavy, and Di Lian has no confidence to share it with her grandchildren."

"Shili that child, because of the cold eyes and ridicule since childhood, the mind is extremely strong, the general situation Ben Hou believes that it is difficult for him, as long as Miss Tilian agrees to form an alliance with my Yun family, your business in the future, my Yun family will help him recklessly, as a reward, Miss Tilian wants to help him through the difficulties when Shili is difficult to choose, Ben Hou believes that with your strategy and wisdom, as long as you are willing, as long as Shili does his best, anything can be dangerous."
