Chapter 110: Yan Shuo's son who has no sense of taste
When Gu Cixiu came back, what he was holding in his hand was really a sour orange. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
seemed to be still immersed in the joy of being a father for the first time, his face was a lot brighter, and he first smiled apologetically at Rong Luo, and then quickly peeled the sour orange and handed it to her.
Rong Luo took it with anticipation, and this time it was very refreshing.
Finally relieved his hunger, Rong Luo poked his head out again and looked in the direction where Ji Liming was, and urged Xun Jiu to say: "Your friend is still waiting in front, you go quickly, I will take care of Ah Xiu here, it will be fine." β
"Hmm." Xun Jiu nodded reassuringly, and instructed Gu Cixiu a few more words before turning around and walking towards Ji Liming.
Ji Liming's eyes were looking at Rong Luo and Gu Cixiu, and when he saw Xun Jiu coming over, he opened his lips and asked her, "What were you doing over there just now?" β
"Nothing." Xun Jiu turned over and got on the horse briskly, "I met an acquaintance and chatted a few words." β
"You know them well?" Ji Liming asked again.
"I only met on the day of the palace banquet." Xun Jiu said truthfully: "But they are old friends with King Qin in Wei State, and the relationship is very good, and the couple is also very good-hearted, so I met them because of the relationship between King Qin." β
"I see." Ji Liming was stunned.
He met Fusheng before he was eight years old, and he returned to Yanjing after the age of eight, and he didn't know any of the people Fusheng knew after that.
Xun Jiu suddenly thought of something, and said worriedly: "Wolong Street is so far away from the Qin Wangfu, and when the two of us went out, we didn't let people go to the Qin Wangfu to inform us, can Fusheng find us smoothly later?" Or are you going to make another trip back to pick him up in person? β
Ji Liming chuckled, "You've been with Zichu for so long, and you still don't know how powerful his hidden guards are?" β
Xun Jiu was stunned.
Ji Liming said again: "I bet with you, now there are hidden guards of the Qin Wangfu around here, and there is information to the Qin Wangfu every once in a while, even if the black-hearted ghost of Zichu doesn't go out, he knows where we are." β
Xun Jiu suddenly sighed, "Sure enough, it's cool to have a hidden guard, and you can know everything about the world without going out." β
Ji Liming's mind moved, and he asked her, "You have been with Zichu for so long, and he didn't tell you?" β
Xun Jiu vaguely heard the unusual meaning from this sentence, frowned slightly, she glanced at Ji Liming fiercely, "How do you talk, why did I follow him for so long?" Nothing happened to me or him......"
Ji Liming laughed twice, "Then the red mark on your neck that you covered with a veil during the day was someone else's indecent behavior?" Don't you dare to tell Zichu? β
Xun Jiu choked, and intuitively felt in his heart that Ji Liming's person was simply hidden, and no clues could escape his eyes.
Xun Jiu boasted that she could speak well, but in this matter, she thought that she couldn't quibble Ji Liming, so she could only stretch out her hand and pinch him again, and said angrily: "Ride your horse well, otherwise you will accidentally fall down and kill you when you talk later." β
"You can't die." Ji Liming's hearty laughter echoed on the street, "With such a beautiful and immortal doctor as my cousin by my side, even if you die, you can drag me back from the ghost gate." β
Xun Jiu "cut" angrily and didn't want to pay attention to him anymore.
Half an hour later, Ji Liming finally stopped in front of a tavern in Jishi Lane, Wolong Street.
Handing over the horse to the tavern maid, Ji Liming took the lead and walked in, first raising his eyes to look around at the decoration in the tavern.
At the end, he frowned slightly, turned to Xun Jiu and said, "Cousin, this is the place where you said there is food and wine?" β
Xun Jiu nodded.
"This is also ......" Ji Liming paused, he wanted to say that the decoration was too shabby, but after thinking about it, he felt that his words were inappropriate, so he quickly changed his words: "This is also too simple, are you sure that their family can have food and wine?" β
"Of course." Xun Jiu raised his eyebrows, pushed away Ji Liming's body in front of him, and waved his hand, "You go find a place to sit down first, and I'll go and order the dishes from their house." β
"This place...... No private rooms or anything? Ji Liming glanced around again, and asked Xun Jiu with some difficulty.
Xun Jiu immediately lowered his face and glared at him with white eyes, "If you really want to go to the private room, go back to the area of your family's Dutong Mansion, anyway, you are not short of money." β
"Gotta get it." Ji Liming spread his hands helplessly, "The Lord wishes, since you like it here, then it's okay for me to eat here, but don't forget the wine you just said." β
"Got it!" Xun Jiu raised his foot and kicked him again, "It's really long-winded, I can conclude that you must have advanced the year before." β
Ji Liming learned shrewdly this time, and as early as the moment Xun Jiu raised his foot, he cleverly dodged it and was not kicked.
The tavern is small, but it is often full during the day because of the special taste of the food, but now it is over, most of the people have finished eating, and there are only a few customers in the tavern.
The tavern maid was very discerning, and when he saw what Xun Jiu and Ji Liming were wearing, he knew that the person who came was a distinguished guest, and immediately stepped forward to ask Xun Jiu diligently: "May I ask the girl what you want?" β
Xun Jiu smiled gently at him, only to see the little girl's face blushing and heartbeat.
Xun Jiu didn't think about it, and ordered directly, "I want a chicken called Hua, a plate of Longjing shrimp, a plate of braised spring bamboo shoots, a plate of snowflake crab buckets, a plate of lion heads, and a plate of crab soup." β
The little guy was dumbfounded when he heard this, these dishes are not only the signature dishes of the restaurant, but also the dishes that customers will not order easily, because these dishes must be cooked by the son himself to make the most beautiful taste.
But Childe ......
Xun Jiu didn't see the expression of the little guy, and then said: "By the way, these dishes, you have to trouble your boss to cook them personally, the money and everything are easy to discuss, and the most important thing is that the dishes should be original, and what others make is not to my liking." β
At the end, she added with a smile, "Finally, please bring us another jar of purple bamboo brew." β
These dishes can indeed make the store earn hundreds of taels of silver overnight, and the little guy is also very excited, but then he thought of something, he was full of embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "The girl should have not come for a long time, I don't know that our son-in-law has ......."
Xun Jiu's heart tightened, his eyes shrank suddenly, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Dead?" β
"No, no, no." Xiao Wu didn't expect Xun Jiu to ask so directly, and after being startled, he shook his head desperately, "Childe is still alive and well, but he was injured in his leg before, and now he can only sit in a wheelchair, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid I won't be able to cook for the girl myself. β
"How so?" Xun Jiu frowned.
In the memory of the original body, the owner of this tavern was a handsome man, and he had the same good cooking skills as Jiaoyi, but he had a strange temperament and never cooked for people easily, so it was difficult for ordinary people to taste his skills.
The original body was also the owner of this tavern Yan Shuo, whom he met by chance, and he had tasted the dishes he made himself, but that was a long time ago.
Now, I don't know if that person still remembers her.
Thinking of this, Xun Jiu said to the little guy: "Can you take me to see your boss, I know medical skills, maybe I can help him heal." β
When the little girl heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said happily: "Isn't the girl who has been a long-time girl with excellent medical skills mentioned by Gongzi?" β
Xun Jiu nodded awkwardly, glanced at the guests who turned their heads when they heard the sound, and said in a low voice: "That's right, I'm Xun Jiu." β
"Girl, please follow me to the backyard." The little girl smiled all over her face, thinking that if the girl made a move for a long time, presumably the child's legs would be healed. β
Xun Jiu glanced at Ji Liming, who was sitting bored in the corner, gave him a reassuring look, and stepped up to follow the little guy to the backyard.
The curtain between the outer hall and the backyard was suddenly opened by a slender finger, and then a clear voice came out, "No need, since Miss Jiu is here, then I will cook for you myself." β
The little guy was shocked, and hurriedly walked over and whispered: "Childe, you are not feeling well, or should you leave it to the cook?" β
Yan Shuo chuckled lowly, "How could Miss Jiu look down on the dishes made by the cook?" β
He didn't show up, but turned his wheelchair and walked towards the kitchen.
For some reason, Xun Jiu always felt that Yan Shuo tonight was indescribably weird, and it didn't seem to be quite similar to the Yan Shuo in her memory, but he never showed up, and she couldn't tell what was weird.
Collecting his emotions, Xun Jiu thought that it was probably because the original body and his own views of Yan Shuo were different that there would be a sense of gap between before and after.
Without thinking about it anymore, she turned around and returned to her seat, which was next to the window, and she took the opportunity to look out, but she hadn't seen the carriage of King Qin's mansion coming.
Xun Jiu retracted his gaze and looked at the last season with questions about Liming.
"What, what's wrong?" Xun Jiu asked.
"Who are you talking to?" Ji Liming stared at Xun Jiu tightly, always feeling that she had been a little absent-minded since she came back from ordering.
"It's the owner of this tavern, named Yan Shuo." Xun Jiu explained: "The dishes I just ordered must be cooked by the boss himself, otherwise others will not be delicious." β
Ji Liming sighed, "You have such a big face that the boss can cook for you personally?" β
"I'm ...... with him" Xun Jiu glanced outside, making sure that Fusheng hadn't come yet, so he lowered his voice, "I have had a relationship with him." β
"I see." Ji Liming showed a sudden expression, and then gloated with a look of schadenfreude, "Later, my son Chu is here, if you know that the person who cooks for you is a man, do you think his lungs will be blown up?" β
"It's alright!" Xun Jiu tried his best to defend Fu Sheng, "In fact, he is not so jealous." β
"That's for others." Ji Liming snorted: "But it's different for you, you are his woman, and if the man next to you wants to get close to you, he must pass his pass first, otherwise he is looking for death." β
"How can it be so exaggerated?" Xun Jiu rolled his eyes, "Aren't you still alive and well?" β
"I'm different from those men." Ji Liming said excitedly: "I am your cousin, the two of us are brother and sister, when the two of you get married, according to etiquette, Zichu should also call me brother, hahaha, I am looking forward to this day coming soon." β
Xun Jiu was speechless, "If he really calls your brother, do you really dare to respond?" β
"Why don't you dare?" Ji Liming raised his eyebrows, "Zichu is not a cannibal, if he dares to shout, I will dare to respond." β
"I really don't eat people."
At this moment, a cool sound came from outside the tavern, and with his gentle steps, the surroundings seemed to be filled with a faint and cold bamboo fragrance.
When several guests in the tavern saw that it was King Qin who arrived, they quickly got up and knelt down and saluted.
Fu Sheng waved his hand to signal them to get up, and said a few more words to tell them not to be restrained.
Although those people nodded in agreement, they still couldn't continue to stay in this high-pressure situation, so they hurriedly paid the bill and left as if they were fleeing.
In the entire tavern, only Xun Jiu, Fu Sheng and Ji Liming were left.
Fu Sheng slowly walked to the corner position, his eyes were glued to Ji Liming's face, and he opened his lips to add the sentence just now, "But I will hurt people." β
Leng Buding shuddered, Ji Liming shook his body and glanced at Fusheng, "Master knows that you can never spit out ivory in your mouth." β
"Hmm." Fu Sheng sat down next to Xun Jiu's position, and said slowly: "I am not as good as you, and I can't achieve the realm of ivory like you." β
Realizing that he was surrounded by him, Ji Liming gritted his teeth with hatred, and the person in front of him was a poisonous tongue, and it was delusional to want to bargain with him verbally.
Grinding his teeth, Ji Liming took a few deep breaths before he barely calmed down.
Fusheng is different from Ji Liming, he hasn't looked at this tavern since he came in, he doesn't seem to care about its decoration and furnishings, his warm eyes look at Xun Jiu, and ask softly, "Is the dish ordered?" β
"It's done." Xun Jiu nodded, not planning to say more.
Ji Liming found an opportunity, and said with a wicked smile: "Little cousin is ingenious and ordered a big jar of vinegar for you." β
Fu Sheng's eyes moved slightly.
Xun Jiuyan threw the knife at Ji Liming's body, and said angrily: "Don't speak, no one treats you as a dumb person!" β
"I'm just telling you the truth." Ji Liming raised his eyebrows, looking like "Lao Tzu is fearless".
When Fu Sheng heard this, a smile unexpectedly bloomed on his face, and he turned his eyes to look at Ji Liming, "Since you have ordered vinegar for a long time, you can't waste it, and you will be responsible for drinking it all later." β
"What is me!" Ji Liming jumped violently, "The matter of the two of you, don't involve me!" Besides, that big jar of vinegar is a special gift from my little cousin for you, and I don't have the blessing to enjoy it. β
"I'm quitting." Fu Sheng said quietly: "Don't drink vinegar, only drink." β
"Can you quit this?" Ji Liming pounded the table and laughed, "Ouch, you really amused me." β
The corners of Xun Jiu's mouth twitched fiercely, and he secretly wondered what Fusheng meant?
Quit jealousy?
Can you quit being jealous? How did you quit?!
However, when he heard that Fu Sheng wanted to drink, Xun Jiu smiled with satisfaction, "They have purple bamboo brew at home, and I have already ordered a jar, so I can drink it later." β
"Purple ...... Purple bamboo stuff? Ji Liming's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, "Is it the 'Zizhu Brew' that was almost made a royal brew by the first emperor many years ago, but the brewing method was lost overnight?" β
Xun Jiu nodded, "I didn't expect you to even know this." β
"Of course." Ji Liming raised his eyebrows confidently, "Wine and beauty, two things that are indispensable in the master's life." β
After speaking, his face was full of doubts, and his eyes swept the simple decoration of the tavern, "This place is so simple, how can there be such a superb wine as Zizhu Brew, is it just the same name?" β
"Is it a real purple bamboo brew, it will come later, you can taste it yourself." Xun Jiu was too lazy to waste his lips and tongue with him, anyway, Yan Shuo's purple bamboo brew is unique in the world, and no one can brew that taste, since Ji Liming has tasted a hundred wines, he must know it as soon as he drinks it.
"How did you find this place?" Fu Sheng seemed to be interested in this topic, and looked at Xun Jiu with burning eyes.
People have asked about this, and if you lie, it will be embarrassing to be exposed.
After thinking about it, Xun Jiu had to say truthfully: "A long time ago, the owner of this tavern, Yan Shuogongzi, was sick, and I happened to pass by here to treat him. β
"At that time, he also entertained you with purple bamboo brew?" Fu Sheng asked again.
Xun Jiu pondered and nodded, "Actually, I started to learn to drink at that time, I felt spicy at the time, and then I tasted other wines, and I knew the uniqueness of Zizhu Brew, today since my cousin said that he wanted to treat us, he should invite us to eat something special, such as this Zizhu Brew, since it was lost in the period of the first emperor, I seem to have only seen Yan Shuo Gongzi brewing." Thankfully, he's still here, but it's a pity ......"
At the end of the words, Xun Jiu's face gradually darkened.
"How?" Fu Sheng asked faintly in his ear.
"The tavern boy told me that Yan Shuogongzi was seriously injured in the leg and can only live in a wheelchair now."
Ji Liming was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "You mean, the person who just talked to you behind the curtain is in a wheelchair?" β
Xun Jiu sighed and nodded.
"Didn't you say he had to cook himself?" Ji Liming's eyes were even more puzzled, "Since he can only sit in a wheelchair, how can he cook?" β
"I don't know." Xun Jiu frowned slightly, "Maybe there is a cook lady to help, or maybe he is just directing on the side, is it his own cooking, and the dishes will be served later, I will know as soon as I taste it." β
"Interesting." Fu Sheng snorted lightly, squeezed out three words between his teeth, and the emotion on his face was unclear.
Xun Jiu didn't understand what his three words meant, and he didn't want to ask, so he talked with Ji Liming without a match.
After a stick of incense, the dishes gradually came up, and when the little guy left to go to the wine cellar to carry the purple bamboo brew, Xun Jiu suddenly called him and asked, "Are these dishes cooked by your son-in-law himself?" β
"yes." The little guy looked at Xun Jiu's eyes, and the deer suddenly bumped into his heart, and said with a red face: "The little one personally watched the dishes made by the son in the kitchen." β
His eyes moved, and Xun Jiu waved his hand, "Go ahead, we have nothing to do here." β
The little guy quit and went straight to the cellar.
Ji Liming stared at the jujube red, bright, fragrant, crispy and tender chicken on the plate, and asked Xun Jiu, "How does this chicken make it, it smells more fragrant than ordinary chicken?" β
"This is called Flower Chicken." Xun Jiu patiently explained, "Wrapped in clay and lotus leaves and constantly rotated and baked on the fire, it is naturally much more fragrant than ordinary chicken." β
"What about this plate?" Ji Liming pointed to the jade white shrimp and asked.
"This is Longjing shrimp, which is made from fresh river shrimp and cooked with Longjing new tea."
"Where's this?"
"This is a snowflake crab bucket, where crab meat and crab roe are fried into crab roe, loaded with crab shells, and then garnished with ingredients."
β¦β¦
Xun Jiu explained one by one.
Ji Liming's eyes were already shining, the tip of his nose sniffed lightly, and praised, "Sure enough, it is a rare delicacy, if these dishes are paired with purple bamboo brew, the master is willing to die of drunkenness here." β
"Look at your little bit of interest!" Xun Jiu hated the iron and looked at him with steel, "Zizhu has a strong brew and has great stamina, if you drink too much, I dare to guarantee that you won't be able to get up after sleeping for three days." β
"Is that really that exaggerated?" Ji Liming obviously didn't believe it.
"Why don't you try?" Xun Jiuyu caught a glimpse of the little guy who had already come with the wine jar, and bent his lips and smiled, "Ji Ershao lingered in the flowers and drank hundreds of kinds of wine, could it be that he was the only one who was afraid of this purple bamboo wine?" β
"Just kidding!" Ji Liming stroked his forehead handsomely, "Master, am I the kind of person who retreats when I encounter challenges?" β
Xun didn't speak for a long time, and his eyes were full of "everything you said is right".
This expression, Ji Liming was very useful, he discarded the white porcelain wine glass brought by the little guy, let the little guy change it to a big bowl, and directly lifted the wine jar and poured it into the bowl.
and helped Sheng and Xun Jiu to fill their wine glasses respectively.
Xun Jiu's mind is not on the purple bamboo brew.
Seeing that the little guy was about to leave after serving the last dish, she hurriedly called him again and asked softly: "Dare to ask the little brother, are all the dishes I just ordered finished?" β
The little girl blushed and scratched his head, and muttered: "A plate called flower chicken, a plate of Longjing shrimp, a plate of braised spring bamboo shoots, a plate of snowflake crab buckets, a plate of lion heads, and a plate of crab soup." All the dishes that Miss Jiu ordered are here. β
Finally, he smiled and pointed to the table, and said, "There is also a jar of purple bamboo brew." β
"Isn't there anything else in the back?" Xun Jiu asked again tentatively.
The little girl wondered in her heart, obviously she had already finished serving all the dishes, why did Miss Jiu ask him again and again if there was anything behind?
"Nope." He shook his head earnestly.
"Alright then, there's nothing going on here." Xun Jiu smiled slightly, and saw that the little guy almost hit the pillar behind him, and felt Fusheng's cool gaze before he suddenly realized it, and retreated with a smoke.
Xun Jiu watched him walk away before slowly turning around.
Fu Sheng's eyes fluctuated slightly, and he asked her, "Is there something wrong?" β
"Nothing." Xun Jiu pointed to the table, "Let's eat first." β
She didn't say anything, and Fu Sheng didn't ask anymore, picking up chopsticks and savoring those dishes.
Ji Liming tasted a sip of purple bamboo brew, and was immediately full of praise, and threatened to drink all the jars.
Xun Jiu ate a piece of braised spring bamboo shoots in oil, and the depressed color on his face became even more obvious.
Fu Sheng noticed it, simply stopped his chopsticks, looked at her sideways, and asked gently, "What's wrong?" β
Xun Jiu looked at him and muttered, "When I first met Yan Shuo, do you guess how he made these dishes?" β
As soon as Xun Jiu's voice fell, there was a faint sound of the tea bowl and bowl lid rubbing behind the curtain, and after listening carefully, he could vaguely feel that the person holding the tea cup was a little uneasy in his heart.
"How?" Ji Liming also stopped and looked at Xun Jiu with great interest.
"When I ate it for the first time, there was no salt in these dishes, and Yan Shuogongzi used a small plate with seasonings to mix it for me, and then dipped it to eat."
Fu Sheng was stunned, no wonder she kept asking the little girl just now if there was anything behind her that hadn't come up, it turned out to be a seasoning.
"Wouldn't it be better not to tune it?" Ji Liming was quite puzzled, "I think it's more delicious with purple bamboo stuffing!" β
How smart Fu Sheng is, he heard the clue in just one sentence, and asked Xun Jiu softly, "If I guessed correctly, this Yan Shuo son has no sense of taste, right?" β
Xun Jiu looked at him in disbelief, "How did you guess that?" β
Fu Sheng Wan'er carefully analyzed, "First, these dishes are obviously the signature dishes of the tavern, but few people can eat the ones made by Yan Shuogongzi himself. Second, you said that when you first came, there was no salt in these dishes, and under normal circumstances, it is impossible for people who cook to do this, because salt is the root of all kinds of flavors, and you can not put spicy, sweet or even oil, but you can't do without salt. But the first time you eat a dish without salt, it only means that the person who cooks can't grasp the amount of salt, and from this, it's not difficult to guess that the person who cooks has no sense of taste. β
Listening to Fu Sheng's analysis, Xun Jiu has completely convinced this man, and he can push out the whole thing with reason and evidence just by one sentence, and the delicacy of his mind is not powerful.
Behind the curtain, there was the sound of a cup accidentally breaking and falling to the ground.
The three of them all glanced at the place and then retracted it.
Fu Sheng continued without changing his face: "At the moment, all the dishes on this table have salt, and they are placed just right, so there are two possibilities. First, Yan Shuogongzi's sense of taste has recovered. Second, it was not Yan Shuo Gongzi himself who cooked. β
"His Royal Highness King Qin's reasoning is very wonderful, and I admire it." There was a sudden burst of applause from behind the curtain, and the curtain was immediately lifted, and a person turned his wheelchair and slowly came out.
Dressed in a rain-swept azure robe, there was no embellishment on his body except for a belt of the same color, and his face was as clean as in the depths of Xun Jiu's memory.
It's just that......
She squinted, always feeling that there was something wrong with this Yan Shuo in front of her, but she couldn't say it for a while.
"Yan Shuo Gongzi." Xun Jiu greeted politely.
The other party smiled at her, but his eyes condensed at Fu Sheng's body without a trace.
This scene was still keenly captured by Xun Jiu.
Ji Liming has been staring at Yan Shuo since he came out, for a long time, and muttered: "Why do I think this Yan Shuo is so familiar, it seems that I have seen it somewhere?" β
The corners of Yan Shuo's mouth curved slightly, "It's the first time I've seen Ershao below." β
"Really?" Ji Liming scratched his head, his eyes never left Yan Shuo, and he muttered in a low voice, "I'm not talking about looks, but about qiyun, so familiar...... Like, just like ......" At this point, he seemed to remember something, Huo Ran's eyes widened, and he calmed down in an instant, and shook his head secretly, "Impossible...... Absolutely impossible......"
"What are you talking about, cousin?" Xun Jiu frowned and looked at Ji Liming, "Yan Shuo Gongzi rarely goes out on weekdays, and besides, this place is remote, since he hasn't seen you, then it's absolutely impossible for you to see him." β
"Hmm." Ji Liming nodded absentmindedly, barely pulled out a smile, and said to Xun Jiu: "You are right, how could I have seen him?" β
Yan Shuo's slightly drooping eyes had a strange light quickly flashing, and he instantly regained his calm, raised his eyes to look at Xun Jiu again, and said in a warm voice, "Miss Jiu, long time no see." β
"It's been so long, Yan Shuo still remembers me?" Xun Jiu was puzzled, it stands to reason that there are so many guests coming and going in this place every day, Yan Shuo shouldn't just remember her.
Why does she always have the feeling that this person has been waiting for her here for a long time?
Yan Shuo smiled, "The girl's kindness at that time is unforgettable." β
Xun Jiu looked at Yan Shuo's eyes, and was in a trance for a while, obviously it was the face in her memory, but why did she always feel that something had changed, could it be that time had passed too long, and she couldn't remember it clearly?
At the beginning, Xun Jiu found that Fu Sheng was also looking at Yan Shuo, and the emotions in his eyes were very complicated.
Squinting his eyes, Xun Jiu secretly wondered if she had a bloody fiancΓ© or something before her original body, but she had forgotten about it, right?
After sorting out the memory, Xun Jiu wondered again, she remembered the memories of the original body from childhood to adulthood, this Yan Shuo son, she also remembered it very clearly, except for the treatment of him that time, there was no intersection, and it was impossible to have an in-law relationship.
Since it doesn't matter, why are Ji Liming and Fu Sheng's gaze so abnormal?
There was a long silence in the tavern.
Xun Jiu couldn't stand the atmosphere, and asked embarrassedly: "Young Master Yan Shuo, did you make all these dishes tonight?" β
"It's all about the bottom line." Yan Shuo smiled slightly, his face was warm, "What's the matter, doesn't Miss Jiu think it's delicious?" β
"It's delicious." Xun Jiu said: "I just remember the first time I came......"
"You're trying to say I don't have a sense of taste, right?"
Xun Jiu nodded slowly.
"The salt is calculated before it is put in." Yan Shuo said: "The girl knew before, I have no sense of taste, I can't taste it, but I can calculate." β
"I see." Xun Jiu suddenly realized, "I really didn't expect that Yan Shuo Gongzi was still such a good person in mathematics." β
"The girl praises it." Yan Shuo Waner.
At the moment, there were only three of them in the tavern, but now that the boss had come out, Xun Jiu felt embarrassed to eat like this, and greeted Yan Shuo politely, "If you don't mind, please dine with us." β
Xun Jiu swore that this was really just a polite remark, but she never expected that Yan Shuo would happily agree.
"Okay!" As he spoke, he turned his wheelchair in both hands and walked to the table and sat down.
In this way, the already awkward atmosphere directly came to an impasse.
Ji Liming's chopsticks were still in his mouth, his expression was already demented, and he stared at Yan Shuo for a moment.
Fu Sheng has always maintained the thoughtful look just now, and he didn't seem to be half unhappy because of Yan Shuo's joining.
This made Xun Jiu even more puzzled.
According to the temperament of the domineering president of Fusheng, shouldn't the reaction at this time be to immediately throw out a poisonous tongue and give Yan Shuo back to make him retreat, or directly pull her wrist and rush out of the tavern?
What's going on right now?!
Hard-headed let the little guy add a pair of dishes and chopsticks, Xun Jiu lowered his head and drank and ate food absentmindedly, and the original rare good wine Zizhu Brew had no taste at this time.
The four of them had different thoughts.
After the tea, everyone still didn't say a word.
Xun Jiu couldn't stand the solemn atmosphere anymore, and took the lead in speaking, "Ah Sheng, I'm full, do you want to go back now?" β
"I, I'm full, too." Ji Liming hurriedly said.
Fu Sheng raised his eyes, glanced at Yan Shuo, retracted his gaze for a moment and looked at Xun Jiu, and smiled warmly, "Since you're full, let's go back, it's time for curfew later." β
Xun Jiu nodded, tugged at Fusheng's sleeve and got up to leave.
"Miss Jiu." Yan Shuo suddenly called her, his eyes lit slightly, and he smiled slightly, "Welcome to the next time, I will personally cook for you." β
Fu Sheng finally frowned after hearing this, his face was full of displeasure, he didn't say anything to ridicule Yan Shuo, but turned his eyes to look at Xun Jiu, as if he wanted to know how she would react.
Xun Jiu clearly saw Fu Sheng frowning, and laughed in his heart, this is the consistent style of President Fu!
Coughing lightly twice, Xun Jiuzheng looked at Yan Shuo with a straight face, "Thank you for your hospitality, I will come again when I have a chance in the future." β
"When will it be in the future?" Yan Shuo looked at her with sincere eyes, "Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or ten days later?" Half a month later? Or ......"
Fu Sheng finally became angry, his whole face was like frost, and he said coldly, "Yan Shuo's son misunderstood, what my wife said about 'later' refers to the next life." β
"Your wife?" Yan Shuo squinted deeply after hearing these four words, his mood fluctuated greatly, and his voice was fierce, "Miss Jiu is clearly a girl in the boudoir, when did she become your wife?" β
"Right now." Fu Sheng raised his eyebrows, he was already tall, but now he was standing again, and when he looked at Yan Shuo, he was quite condescending, "If you don't believe it, this king can show you on the spot." β
"Eh, don't, don't!" Ji Liming finally came back to his senses, and hurriedly got up and spoke to stop him, "Zi Chu, what, there is no need to demonstrate, presumably you just said this, Yan Shuogongzi should also know the relationship between the two of you, this public demonstration is inevitably immoral, we just know." β
Fu Sheng snorted coldly, turned his head to Xun Jiu and said, "Jiujiu, let's go!" β
After speaking, he took Xun Jiu's hand and walked out of the tavern directly.
Ji Liming stayed behind, took out a silver ticket from his arms and handed it to Yan Shuo, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to trouble Son, this is the money for this meal plus Zizhu Brew, and if it is excess, it should be regarded as making amends to Childe." β
"I don't want your silver ticket." Yan Shuo stuffed the silver ticket back into Ji Liming's hand, and said slowly, "I am willing to cook for her." β
Ji Liming was speechless and held his forehead, "You shouldn't be really interested in Miss Jiu, right?" She is already a member of King Qin. β
Yan Shuo was stunned, and asked directly, "When will they leave?" β
"I ......" Ji Liming was choked half to death by him, and said indignantly: "People haven't got married yet, not to mention that even if they get married, what does it matter to you if you don't get married?" β
"The grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring." Yan Shuo picked up chopsticks, picked up a piece of bamboo shoot, and ate it.
"Eh, I'm saying you're weird." Ji Liming glared at him, "My cousin and you are only one side, besides, she is a doctor, isn't it normal to see people, if you really say so, everyone reciprocates her, then wouldn't she be able to open a harem!" β
Yan Shuo put down his chopsticks slowly, looked up at Ji Liming, and the bright light in his eyes flickered, "She remembers that I didn't put salt when I first came, and she still remembers that I don't have a sense of taste." β
"What does this mean?" Ji Liming wanted to slap him to death, "It can only mean that you are sick, so my cousin remembers it very clearly, do you think she remembers this and is interested in you?" Tell you, in the next life! β
"And when is she going to die?" Yan Shuo asked very seriously and sincerely.
"I'll send you to heaven first!" Ji Liming stuffed the silver ticket back into his arms, and the palm of his hand was about to attack Yan Shuo.
Xun Jiu's voice suddenly came from outside, "Cousin, let's go, it'll be troublesome when the curfew is in place later." β
Unwillingly withdrawing his hand, Ji Liming glared at him fiercely, "If you want to fight your cousin's idea, let's do your spring and autumn dreams!" β
Hurriedly out of the tavern, Ji Liming turned over and got on the horse with a resentful face.
Xun Jiu sat in Fusheng's carriage, glanced at Fusheng, and then lifted the curtain to look at Ji Liming, and finally couldn't help asking, "Do you two know Yan Shuo?" β
"I don't know." Fu Sheng and Ji Liming replied in unison.
"Since I don't know each other, why is my cousin's reaction so strange?" Xun Jiu's face was suspicious, "Also, when you were in the tavern just now, you muttered that he was very familiar, who is it like?" β
"Actually, I can't tell who he looks like, but I always feel that the aura around him is very familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere, but when I think about it carefully, I feel that I have never seen his face at all, so I feel strange."
"What about you?" Xun Jiu moved his gaze to Fu Sheng, "You have been in a daze in the tavern just now, why?" Could it be that you also think he is as familiar as your cousin? β
"Did I behave abnormally just now?" Fu Sheng did not answer the rhetorical question.
Xun Jiu held his forehead, "It's not abnormal, isn't it abnormal?" β
Fu Sheng raised his eyebrows, "How can you see it?" β
"According to your consistent temperament, if I agree to let other men eat at the same table with us, your first reaction must be to frown, and then get angry, and condense the air around you into ice crystals, but you were too abnormal just now, even if you are not angry, you don't even say a word, don't you hear that I called him to the table to eat is purely polite?"
"I know you're polite." Fusheng secluded road.
"Then why didn't you react?" Xun Jiu was furious, could it be that this man really quit the function of "jealousy" as he just said?
"I was thinking about something else." He explained calmly.
Xun Jiu became more and more puzzled in his heart, "You are lying!" β
"Say!" Xun Jiu glared at him viciously, "Do you know Yan Shuo, or is there anything special about this person just now?" β
Seeing that Fu Sheng didn't respond, she continued to threaten, "If you don't say it, I'll get out of the car and walk back by myself!" β
Fu Sheng tilted his head to look at her for a long time before he slowly spoke, "You guessed right, this person is weird, and it's not ordinary weird." β
Xun Jiu was shocked in his heart, "Aren't those things I just now a delusion?" β
"What delusion?" Fu Sheng asked.
"I always feel that this Yan Shuo is a little different from the Yan Shuo in my memory, it seems that something has changed, but after a closer look, I feel that nothing has changed, this feeling is so strange, when I used to see him, I felt that he smiled very warmly, which made people feel like a spring breeze, very comfortable. But just now in the tavern, when I saw him smiling, it was clearly the same expression as before, but I always felt a kind of eerie taste. At first, I thought it was the after-effects of the autopsy I had just dissected during the day, but now that I hear you say that, I'm sure my instincts are right. β
Without waiting for Fu Sheng to speak, Xun Jiu asked again: "You just said that he was weird, what is weird?" β
"For a moment, I can't tell." Fu Sheng shook his head, "Because I've never encountered this kind of ...... before Circumstance. β
The conversation between Fu Sheng and Xun Jiu reached Ji Liming's ears outside, he tightened the reins of the horse, slowed down his pace, and said into the carriage: "Zi Chu, this Yan Shuo is really hateful, after you came out, he actually told me that he liked his cousin, and what he said was more than excessive, I couldn't listen to it anymore, you have to watch your cousin closely in the future, don't let that thief take advantage of it." β
Fu Sheng was surprised, "He actually told you that he likes Jiujiu?" β
"yes!" Ji Liming was indignant, "You said how could there be such a shameless person in this world, I told him that the two of you have been together for a long time, and he also asked when you would leave." I warned him that he wanted to beat his cousin for the rest of his life, and he asked when his cousin would die. Do you think this kind of person is underwhelming? Next time I see you, I'm going to clean him up! β
Fu Sheng fell silent, thoughtful.
Xun Jiu clenched his fist and slapped him, frowning, "Why do you have this expression?" β
Fu Sheng's performance tonight was so abnormal that she had to suspect that she was sitting next to her now.
Fu Sheng didn't seem to feel the pain, and slowly raised his head to look at Xun Jiu, "Yan Shuo, this person is indeed too weird, your intuition may not be wrong, we will make a special trip to visit when we are free another day, and then we can take the opportunity to find out the truth." β
As soon as Fu Sheng said this, the hairs on Xun Jiu's back were about to stand up, and she was cold, she could only reluctantly nod, "Okay, listen to you." β
The carriage began to start, and since it was night, it traveled very slowly, and it took more than half an hour to return to the mansion.
After waving goodbye to Fusheng, Xun Jiu went straight to the door, and Liu's mother and Zhaotong had not slept yet.
As soon as Zhao Tong saw Xun Jiu coming back, he immediately came over to pinch her shoulders and beat her back, wanting to ask about the situation of Yizhuang today, but before she could open her mouth, she was slapped by Liu's mother.
Zhao Tong shut his mouth stupidly and asked, "Girl, where are you going to eat tonight?" β
Xun Jiu took a sip of tea and said slowly: "In a tavern in Isoshi Lane, Wolong Street. β
"Huh?" Zhao Tong exclaimed: "Isn't the second young man having a treat today, why don't you go to the restaurant?" β
"I eat too much fish and meat, and I want to change the taste." Xun Jiu replied extremely casually, and his mind was all on Yan Shuo, Fu Sheng, and Ji Liming's reactions. γ
Fu Sheng won't lie to her, and Ji Liming won't hide it from her.
Then, tonight's incident can only show that Yan Shuo really has a problem.
"I've never heard of any particularly famous taverns in that place!" Liu's mother recalled and said: "It seems that there is only one nameless tavern without a plaque, could it be that the girl went to that one?" β
After hearing this, Xun Jiu gave a thumbs up to Liu's mother, "You can know this, it's amazing." β
Mother Liu smiled: "When the slave maid was still in the Ji Mansion, she once accompanied the second lady to pass by that place, and it happened that the second lady was thirsty, so she went in and sat down. β
Xun Jiu's thoughts flowed and he asked, "Then have you seen the owner of that tavern?" β
"Nope." Mother Liu shook her head, "It is said that the boss lives in a simple house, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see him, not to mention that we didn't go to find someone that day, just to go in and sit and have a cup of tea." Didn't pay attention to so much. β
"That's right." Xun Jiu nodded, thinking that Yan Shuo didn't like to deal with people the most, otherwise with his cooking skills, he would have been able to develop the tavern into a restaurant a long time ago.
His purpose in opening the tavern may not be for silver at all.
But whatever his purpose, since Fu Sheng asserts that he is eccentric, then there must be eccentricity.
"Pinch it a little heavier." Xun Jiu motioned to Zhaotong behind him to use some force.
Zhao Tong did as he was told.
The little girl's massage technique is excellent, so that Xun Jiu, who has been tired for a day, slowly relaxes.
"By the way, did anyone come to me today?" She asked.
"Nope." Liu's mother affirmed: "The girl has not been here since she went out.
At the end, Liu's mother looked at her suspiciously, "Who is the girl waiting for?" β
"Not really." Xun Jiu leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, "I haven't entered the palace all day, I'm worried that there will be any emergencies there for Her Majesty, since no one comes, it means that everything is fine, and I will enter the palace to see her early tomorrow morning." β
Zhao Tong took the opportunity to say: "Girl, Yunshuizhai is well decorated, the slave has been supervising the work over there for the past two days, and the shopkeeper is all in accordance with your instructions to let the craftsmen decorate according to your instructions, so magnificent, like the palace, I am reluctant to leave." β
"Really?" Xun Jiu raised his eyebrows, "I told the second lady that the decoration of Yunshuizhai represents the self-esteem of the fourth girl, but I didn't expect her to really fall in love." After all, she is still a transparent lady of a family, and she doesn't have the same care-free mind as ordinary small households, otherwise, she might have fallen out with me a long time ago, where would she spend so much money to decorate the store for me? β
"If you want the slave to say, it's because the old lady is well disciplined, the old lady went early, and the old lady is a soldier, so it is inevitable that the family will be stricter, but the biggest advantage is that the relationship between the two rooms is still harmonious, although there are occasionally some small frictions, but it will not be in full swing like ordinary people's back houses, and it is precisely because of this that the big and third young will be so good!"
"Young Master Ji Liqing?" Xun Jiu asked.
"Yes." Zhao Tong nodded, "The eldest young master has a gentle temperament and treats people sincerely, but it is completely different from the fourth girl, I really can't figure it out, it is also from the womb of a mother, why is there such a big difference between the personalities of the eldest young master and the fourth girl?" β
Xun Jiu laughed and sneered, "Ji Zhi'er is completely spoiled, but what I wonder is that there are so many sons of famous families in Yanjing City, why does she like Yuyi alone?" β
------Off topic------
The character of Yan Shuo is a very, very, very interesting setting, and looking at Yiyi's slow follow-up, I believe it will surprise you (*^__^*) hehe...... (This is not a character that appeared out of thin air, it echoes the previous article, and it will be known later when it is slowly revealed)
ps: There is a chapter above mentioned Gongyi's real name, which was originally written as Yelu Xun, and the clothes have now been changed, changed to Helan Xun, and when I see Helan Xun in the future, I will know that it is Gong Yi Ha (β―3β°) (.just love the net)
