Chapter 562: Dinner, Assistant
At dusk, in the pear orchard in the city of Liangdu, the play of the Xiuyun Opera Troupe is being staged. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
A tragic play, the soundtrack used is extremely beautiful, and it is used to set off the natural sad voice of Hua Dan Xiaolingxian, the head of Xiuyun class, and the ups and downs of the voice are just like the ups and downs of life, which makes people unconsciously cry and grieve for the experience of the people in the play.
Su Xian sat in the special seat for women on the second floor, sat at the table, supported her cheek with one hand, listened to the tactful and beautiful singing, and sipped tea leisurely.
Compared with a room of women who have begun to sob, her reaction is too calm, and even as a woman, she did not cry for what happened to Luan Niang in the play, which was unbearable in the eyes of others, but what she liked was just the singing voice of the little fairy, and the sad singing voice that seemed to be enduring crying made her quite moved, as for what she was singing, she didn't listen to a word.
After the play ended, she was glared at several times by a group of women who had been too deep in the play.
Su Xian didn't care, drank the last sip of tea, and put the hood on the cloak back on her head, covering half of her face. She was not in a hurry to crowd with people, and she didn't go out slowly until the people watching the play were almost gone. Out of the theater, the late autumn wind blew in her face, so she couldn't help but tighten her clothes, turned around, and was about to walk back, just took two steps, but because the person standing under the wall in front of her was stunned and stopped.
Liang Chang, wrapped in a dark blue soft satin cloak, leaned against the wall outside the theater, looking at her.
Su Xian stared at him for a while, her eyes were suspicious, she didn't think that the target of his appearance here was her, this person was mostly waiting for someone here, so she looked around, suspiciously wondering who the person he was dating in the theater would be.
But Liang Chang walked over, walked in front of her, stood still, and whispered to her:
"You really like to listen to dramas!"
Su Xian was stunned and looked at him with a puzzled gaze: "Huh? ”
"I heard that you have a soft spot for the pear orchard in Liangdu, and you will definitely soak here when you don't go shopping." Liang Chang's behavior was very natural, he looked at the gate of the pear orchard, and said lightly, but in fact, being as natural as him is the biggest unnatural, they are not the original ecological relationship of nature.
"Your Highness, what are you doing standing at the gate of the pear orchard?" She asked in a surprised tone.
"You've been calling me 'Your Highness' lately, why don't you call me 'Official'?" Liang Chang looked at her and asked.
"Huh?" There was a big question mark flashing above Su Xian's head, and she was inexplicable.
Liang Chang was a little embarrassed because of her reaction, so he retracted his gaze curtly, paused, and said to her:
"I haven't eaten yet, I haven't eaten either, let's go to Xue Minglou."
As he spoke, he turned around, and without his beckoning, the carriage of King Wen's mansion had already driven over.
Su Xian is still very inexplicable, but it's not bad that she doesn't have to walk back to Xue Minglou, she has to go back anyway.
"Wait a minute, I'll go buy fish balls and bring them back." Su Xian said, turned around and went to a small shop opposite the pear orchard, and came out of the store after a while, holding two packets of fragrant fried fish balls in her hand.
Liang Chang glanced at her and got into the carriage first, Su Xian was not pretentious, followed him into the carriage, and sat next to him very comfortably.
The carriage headed towards Xue Minglou.
Liang Chang sat side by side with her in the carriage, looked down at the oil-paper bag in her hand, and asked:
"What is this?"
"Zhoufang fried fish balls. You don't know? The most famous food near the pear orchard, people who come out of the pear orchard must bring one. Su Xian replied with a smile.
Liang Chang shook his head and said he didn't know: "Do you like to eat this?" ”
"I don't like to eat, fried things, the dough will get worse when you eat it, the two in our family love to eat." Su Xian said with a smile.
Liang Chang didn't speak.
"You want to taste it?" Su Xian saw that he had been staring at the paper bag in his hand, thinking that he wanted to eat, so she asked in her mouth, tied a golden round steaming fried fish ball with a bamboo stick, and generously handed it over.
Liang Chang didn't want to eat it, and he didn't mean to taste it, but she had already handed over the fried fish balls, and for some reason, the words of refusal were not spoken, he lowered his head, opened his mouth, and bit the fried fish balls. The fried fish ball was so big that he almost didn't bite it and fell down, so he hurriedly picked it up with his hand, feeling a little embarrassed when he tossed it like this.
Su Xian couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
This time, Liang Chang also felt embarrassed and glared at her.
Su Xian bit her lip and twisted her head towards the car window.
When the carriage came to Xue Minglou, it did not enter from the door to the inn, but walked through the door of the restaurant, until it came to the door of the restaurant, and slowly stopped.
Su Xian followed Liang Chang out of the carriage and came to the box on the third floor.
Although the dishes of Xue Minglou are not as good as the time-honored brands in the inner city of Liangdu, they are novel and exquisite, and the use of ingredients is needless to say, this is also a famous restaurant in Liangdu, and the food ingredients are the freshest and most expensive. A table full of dishes is placed on the table, exuding an enticing aroma.
"Eat." Liang Chang said to Su Xian.
Su Xian glanced at him, he didn't move the chopsticks, but she didn't push, picked up the chopsticks, and ate slowly.
Liang Chang didn't speak, nor did he move his chopsticks, he sat opposite her and watched her eat quietly.
After a while, Su Xian understood that he was spending money to watch people eat, which was probably a unique pastime for rich people.
She suddenly rang the bell to call the guy outside the door, and ordered another order:
"Give me a pot of drunken immortal brew."
Liang Chang glanced at her.
Su Xian has lived in Xue Minglou for a long time, and she is a person who likes to flirt everywhere, almost all the guys in Xue Minglou know her, and even King Wen knows her if they don't know her. The man smiled and answered, turned away, and in a short time brought back a porcelain pot of soju, which was scalded in a wine keg.
Su Xian ate in her mouth, took out the porcelain pot from the warm wine jug, held the bottleneck, poured a cup, and drank it beautifully.
Liang Chang stared at her and picked up the porcelain pot, poured the wine, put it down again, and was silent for a moment, he suddenly stretched out his hand, took out the porcelain pot from the warm wine jug, poured a cup for himself, picked it up, raised his head, and drank it all.
Su Xian looked at him when he raised his head, the raised Adam's apple on his neck rolled a few times with the action of swallowing, it was very tempting, her eyebrows were dyed with a touch of spring, she supported her cheeks with one hand, kneaded the dangling pendant on her earlobe, and asked with a smile:
"Is this wine good?"
"Too light." Liang Chang put down the porcelain pot and commented lightly, "Burning knives is wine, this, not like wine." ”
Su Xian smiled: "Only reckless men with the purpose of getting drunk love to drink and burn knives." ”
Liang Chang glanced at her coldly, she was clearly sarcastic about him.
Su Xian smiled, picked up chopsticks, picked up a green vegetable and put it in the bowl in front of him, and said:
"Let's eat, eat when it's time to eat, even if you don't eat, you can't solve the problem or solve it."
Liang Chang watched her put a green vegetable into his bowl, his face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"You're deliberately trying to me off, aren't you?"
"I thought you were here for me to mess with you." Su Xian said with a smile.
Liang Chang stared at her with dangerous eyes, his expression dark.
Su Xian smiled at the corner of her lips, picked up the wine cup, took a sip slowly, and pursed her wet red lips.
She wasn't afraid of him at all.
Liang Chang stared at her for a while, his eyes were sour, so he had to give up, poured another glass of wine, drank it all in one go, put down the porcelain cup heavily, and sighed deeply.
Su Xian ate the food and looked at him with puzzled eyes.
"My second brother said that I thought I had grown a little, but I didn't expect it to be the same as before, with a weak temperament and a kind woman, he asked me to invite myself back to the border pass, saying that I was not suitable to stay in Liangdu." Liang Chang's tone was filled with a hint of anger, and he said in a deep voice.
Su Xian raised her eyebrows and looked at his slightly angry face lightly.
She didn't speak.
Liang Chang raised his head and glanced at her.
"I probably heard that you gave Yang Lin out, because of this, His Royal Highness King Wu is very annoyed?" After a while, Su Xian said in a rambling voice.
"Hmm." Liang Chang was a little embarrassed and snorted lightly.
"Didn't you anticipate that he would say that before you did this?" Su Xian asked.
"I expected it." Liang Chang was silent for a while, with a tense face, and said softly.
"You want to go back to the border?" Su Xian asked.
Liang Chang didn't answer, obviously he didn't want to go, if there was a war, he went to the border pass to be loyal to the country, and if he went to the border pass without a war, it was obviously banished, and he didn't do a heinous thing, why should he be banished?
Su Xian raised her eyebrows and looked at him.
The two men were silent for a long time.
"I've been feeling like my second brother isn't what I think he's going to be." Liang Chang opened his mouth in a quiet voice and said.
"Hmm." Su Xian replied lightly along with his topic.
Liang Chang fell silent again, and after a long time, he suddenly sighed in annoyance, leaned back in his chair, raised his head, and stared at the painted paintings on the roof of the shed.
"Which side do you want to be on?" Su Xian asked suddenly.
Liang Chang was stunned.
"I don't think you did anything wrong by giving Yang Lin out, but from the position of King Wu, it is estimated that your approach has hurt him a lot, so which side do you want to stand on? Is it from the position of the Martial King, or is it from the position that you think is correct? You have to stand on one side so that there will be no conflict, man, if you step on two boats, sooner or later you will fall into the river. Su Xian said slowly.
Liang Chang was a little annoyed by her understatement because she didn't care about herself, but she was right.
"I heard that you started to choose a concubine." Su Xian suddenly opened her mouth and asked.
"Who said that?" The hand holding the wine cup paused slightly, Liang Chang raised his head and asked rhetorically, his brows furrowed slightly.
"My sister said it, and she said it was her family."
"Oh." Liang Chang also guessed that it must be an aftertaste, snorted twice, took a sip of wine, and said lightly, "The concubine has that plan, but I refused." His speech suddenly quickened, sounding a little strange.
"Huh? Why? Su Xian was slightly stunned.
"I'm not in a hurry." Liang Chang said casually.
"Huh......?" Su Xian snorted in a long voice from her nose, pursed her lips and said, "Not in a hurry? You're a year older than me. ”
"I'm not a woman and there is an age limit, I can get married when I want, you can take care of yourself!" Liang Chang said angrily.
"I didn't say I wanted to take care of you." Su Xian laughed and pouted.
"Did Lu Shuo come to you after last time?"
"No, he's already married." Su Xian said lightly.
Liang Chang smiled and said in a mocking tone: "It's a pity, I could still marry you by deceiving you, after all, people even invited a matchmaker." ”
"Why are you weird, as if you are jealous that he is going to propose to me." Su Xian sneered, picked up the wine cup and drank half a glass.
Liang Chang's face darkened, and he looked at her coldly.
"If you were willing to make a face, maybe you would have remarried long ago." He specially used an accent on the word "remarriage" and said with a smile.
"If you want it so much, it's not impossible, if I'm willing to make a face, you'll obey me?" Su Xian asked with a smile.
Liang Chang's face was pitch black, like dyed ink, he stared at her, gritted his back molars, and said word by word:
"I've never seen a woman as brazen as you!"
"I've never seen a man like you, and you won't lose a piece of meat, what are you afraid of?" Su Xian said slowly.
Liang Chang almost choked on a sip of wine and glared at her angrily.
Although there were some discordant passages in the process, on the whole, the dinner went very smoothly, the food was eaten, the drink was drunk, and Liang Chang also settled the bill when it was time to settle the bill.
The two parted at the door of Xue Minglou, and Su Xian tightened her cloak in the cold wind and looked at him.
"The envoy group of Kosi has arrived, during this period, don't go out alone at night, it's best not to go out, those barbarians of Kosi, I heard that their eldest prince actually loves the women of Yueliang country." Before leaving, Liang Chang warned her.
Su Xian raised her eyebrows.
"Did you hear that?" Liang Chang saw that she didn't answer, and asked unhappily.
"Hmm." Su Xian reluctantly responded to a word.
Although she was reluctant, she finally responded, Liang Chang was satisfied, turned around, and boarded the carriage.
Su Xian watched his carriage leave Xue Minglou before turning around and walking along the path towards the inn area inside.
……
Su Miao went to Lord Jiang's mansion early in the morning, and about the state banquet in the evening, she wanted to listen to Lord Jiang in advance, and by the way, she met the assistant that Lord Jiang arranged for her.
Entering the flower hall of the Jiang family, Lord Jiang was drinking tea with two young people, one of whom was a young man with a deep silhouette and a cloth coat sitting in the corner, looking inconspicuous; The other one's dress was in stark contrast to him, with splendid silk, gold and jade crowns, red lips and white teeth, and a red sandalwood fracture fan shook lightly in his hand, like a high-spirited peacock.
When Su Miao saw him, the corners of her eyebrows began to jump...... Is this what it means to let Tong Ran, a little white-faced narcissist, be her assistant?
When Tong Ran saw her coming, he didn't move, he sat on the chair and looked at her with a smile, and said slowly:
"Miss Su, I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you doing lately?"
Good you're big!
Su Miao stood at the door, drooping her eyelids and asked, "At the state banquet, are you here to be my assistant?" ”
"Yes." Tong Ran happily admitted, and the folding fan in his hand shook crackly, making Su Miao feel the urge to snatch it and tear it up and step on it again.
"You're not trying to hold me back, are you?" She asked suspiciously and warily.
"Miss Su, what are these words, the state banquet is a big deal, how could I hold you back." Tong Ran shook the folding fan and said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
