Because it was sunset when Huixiang returned home, dinner had to be prepared for a while, and by the time dinner was eaten, it had already fallen at night, and the homecoming ate was super slow, and the meal lasted for a long time, so that the night was dark after dinner, Liang Jin did not let Su Miao and Huiwei go back to Zhuangzi, and let the two of them stay in Huixiang Lou for a night.

It was indeed very late, the suburbs were not as brightly lit as in the city, and it was inconvenient and dangerous to walk at night in the black-lit fields, so Su Miao accepted Liang Jin's proposal and decided to stay in Huixianglou for one night.

Aftertaste naturally lived in his former courtyard, but Su Miao did not follow him, Liang Jin ignored his son's cold face, and ordered someone to clean up the guest courtyard and give Su Miao a place to live.

The atmosphere was a little strange when I had dinner before, the aftertaste and aftertaste were silent, it was not surprising that they didn't speak, Wei Zhen was born in a beautiful family, and naturally paid attention to food and sleep, but at today's dinner table, even the Hui Gan who has always loved to talk about it ate silently, and from time to time he also went to observe his parents' faces, Liang Jin also didn't say a word, and his face has not been very good-looking since he came out of the room.

Su Miao settled in a guest house called "Yin Feng Zhai" in the northeast corner of the inner courtyard tonight, the courtyard is not big, there are only three main rooms, but it is beautiful and exquisite, elegant and chic.

After dinner, Huiwei personally sent Su Miao to Yinfeng Zhai, and the two maids in Yinfeng Zhai greeted her, saluted together, and respectfully called "Third Young Master" in their mouths.

Aftertaste ignored them, went straight into the main bedroom, and looked inside and out.

"What are you looking for?" Su Miaohu asked suspiciously.

"I'll see if there's anything missing, it shouldn't be missing." Aftertaste looked around. As he spoke, he paused and looked at her. "If it's short, just tell those two girls to stay here for one night, and we'll go back early tomorrow morning." He was afraid that Su Miao would feel strange and uncomfortable with all this discomfort in Huixianglou at home, he knew that Su Miao was a person who was used to freedom, although he was quite comfortable going home compared to other people, but after all, it was also a burden to worry about the family business, and he was afraid that she would not be able to stand it.

Su Miao understood his mind. Smile gently:

"I know, when I came, I also told my eldest sister that she might not go back tonight, and I just wanted to stay at your house. When I was in Suzhou, I heard people say that there is no daughter in Huixiang Building, and I can't spend the night there, so I can earn it for free for one night. ”

Aftertaste smiled and said, "I should have let you come to my yard to be closer, but my father was right." After all, we haven't gotten married. Liangdu people like to chew the root of the tongue the most, although you and I have a clear conscience, but spreading it will still have an impact on your reputation. ”

"I know. By the way, where is your yard? Su Miao asked with a smile.

Aftertaste's eyes flashed slightly, and he coughed lightly twice in embarrassment, and replied, "From here, go all the way east to the end." ”

"......" Su Miao was dumbfounded, it seems that Liang Jin put the two of them one on one side and the other on the other, even if they wanted to communicate in their hearts. The thought of having to walk so many nights in the middle of the night would also make me feel worried, Liang Jin definitely did it on purpose.

That's when it happened. I heard Qiuhua's voice outside the door curtain sounding in a low voice:

"Third Young Master, the prince sent someone to let the third young master go to the outer study."

Aftertaste frowned, paused for a moment, and replied in a low voice, "Got it." Turning his head, he whispered to the two maids waiting at the door, "Serve the girl well." ”

"Yes." The two maids hung their heads and held their breath and responded respectfully.

Aftertaste said to Su Miao again: "It's not early, you should rest early, and we'll go back early tomorrow morning." He stroked her hair twice soothingly, then turned and walked away.

Su Miao watched him leave steadily, tilted his head and thought for a while, always feeling a strange sense of disobedience in his heart.

This was the first time in her two lives that she had been a guest at her future in-laws' house, and although she knew very well the complexities of returning home with her lack of imagination, she still had to meet when she should have visited, so she came. She thought that this trip would go smoothly with her casual temperament, and in fact there was nothing unsmooth, but after this trip came, the feeling in her heart became even stronger, as if they could no longer live a peaceful and stable life like before, although this idea came suddenly and inexplicably, but she just had this feeling, she had such a feeling intermittently since she knew his true identity, and after coming to Liangdu and returning to Xianglou, she felt even stronger.

She frowned and shook her head, shaking off the discomfort in her heart.

The maid Qing'er stepped forward, curtled her knees, and asked politely:

"Girl, do you want the slaves and maids to prepare water for the girl to bathe?"

Su Miao thought about it and agreed, the weather was very hot today, she was sweating, and she also wanted to wash it.

Aftertaste was called by his father, Su Miao thought he would come back in a while, and rejected Qing'er's proposal to serve her to bathe, Su Miao took a bath by herself, changed into clean and comfortable clothes, and sat on the soft couch to dry her hair. But until the hair was almost dry, the aftertaste still didn't come back, for some reason, Su Miao's heart was like grass growing, and she became more and more restless.

She is not a person who recognizes life, her adaptability is very strong, for her kind of person who is good at going out and likes to go out and likes to go to all over the world to see all kinds of new and novel things, no matter what kind of environment, she can quickly adapt and survive happily, so she will never live in a strange and rich Huixianglou tonight, because it is too strange and no one to accompany her, so there is panic and rejection, she dares to guarantee that she is very adaptable to this new environment. But her heart was still pounding, not continuously, but at a certain moment, her heart would suddenly produce a painful sliding step, as if to warn her to be on guard against those unknown dangers, which made her feel more and more restless.

She felt that there were a lot of things pressing on her chest, the matter of going home, the aftertaste, the competition, the restaurant, and the tricky family affairs that she didn't mention or interfere with, whether the eldest sister was with His Royal Highness King Wen or with other men, no matter who she was with, Su Miao would feel worried. is worried that the person will be bad to the eldest sister and make the eldest sister disappointed in the marriage again; There is also Chan'er, Chan'er is a person who is very lonely in her heart without saying anything. Now she has a family and she doesn't have to care, but her family can't accompany her for a lifetime, she still needs someone who can know cold and hot to accompany her gently, and spend her life with her; She is still not at ease with the remaining smart and well-behaved Yan'er, when Yan'er's last big test is over, where will his future go, and this contradiction alone makes people feel worried.

And herself. The marriage has not completely settled down and is about to become an opponent with her, and the future in-laws have a cold attitude towards her, is it really suitable for her to go home to such a family? Even if the aftertaste stubbornly insists. He is also a royal bloodline, his mother is the enigmatic identity of the lord of Jiayang, and his father is Prince Rui, who is brave and good at fighting and has great prestige in the Yueliang Kingdom, with such a background, even if he wants to be free and want to live a low-key life. There will always be times when things don't go your way. This kind of unhappiness may become more and more as she grows older, so now she has to start thinking about this question, if one day he can no longer do what he wants because of his bloodline, can she accept it at that time?

Su Miao is a presentist, she is not good at thinking about things in the future, but now she has started to think about this aspect by accident, she can't think clearly, so her heart has become bored.

She didn't want to think about it anymore. was about to stop thinking about that topic, but the topic changed and fell on the Liangdu finals, which were about to kick off. Tong Ran, who has lost once, Ruan Shuang, who is fast-moving, Ruan Qian, who has not yet figured out her strength, and the aftertaste of her opponent who is about to become her. Thinking of this, Su Miao's head hurt even more, she leaned on the pillow and frowned.

She looked fierce with her face stretched and not smiling, and she was shocked by the two little girls who were waiting in Yinfeng Zhai, and one or two were a little trembling.

Qing'er stepped forward cautiously and quietly placed a cup of tea in Su Miao's hand, and Su Miao glanced at her when the teacup fell on the tea table, startling Qing'er.

Su Miao held her cheek with one hand and looked at her directly for a while, until she saw Qing'er in a cold sweat, and asked with a smile:

"What do you command, girl?"

Su Miao didn't answer immediately, she still looked at her directly, until Qing'er felt uncomfortable as if she had been bitten by thousands of insects, and then she opened her mouth and asked lazily:

"I heard that the people who participated in the Liangdu finals have already lived in Huixiang Building?"

When Qing'er saw her speak, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and replied with a smile as if she had been saved:

"Yes girl, not only the people who came to participate in the Liangdu Competition, but also the students who went to Beijing to take the exam, they have already moved in one after another, and they all live together, which is very lively!"

"Students?" Su Miao was stunned, she just asked about the Liangdu Competition, but she unexpectedly heard the news about the scientific examination, "Do you mean the people who participated in the examination this time?" ”

"Yes, girl."

"Are all the students of Yue Liangguo rich, didn't they say that they couldn't get in Huixianglou without a daughter, and those students could still live in Huixianglou?" Su Miao asked in surprise.

Qing'er laughed when she heard this, but she didn't laugh at her loneliness:

"The girl doesn't know, every time the big exam season our wife will hold a Saiwen meeting, all the students who go to Beijing to take the exam as long as they think they are talented, they can make an article and hand it in, as long as it is an article selected by the lady, the students who do this article can always eat and live in the Xianglou until the end of the big exam."

Su Miao was stunned for a moment and laughed: "This is interesting, according to what you say, if the one who is provided for food and housing in the future wins the top prize, won't that lady be Bole?" ”

"Not really." Qing'er replied with a proud smile on her face, "Since there is the Saiwen Club, roughly calculated, there are more than a dozen champions and Tanhua masters who have gone out of our Huixiang Building, and the other Jinshi masters can't be counted." ”

The sentence that Su Miao asked before was just a casual question, but Qing'er's answer made her start to notice her question, her eyes flashed slightly, she pondered carefully for a while, and asked with a smile:

"Such a fun thing, do the people in Liangdu know?"

"Inside the Liangdu? Who is the girl talking about? Qing'er has a simple temperament, she is familiar with Su Miao, and her questioning is not as regular as before, because she really didn't understand Su Miao's question, she asked suspiciously.

"Nothing." Su Miao didn't ask anymore, shook her head and smiled, and asked again, "By the way, do you know where the people who come from all over the world to participate in the King Chef Competition live?" ”

"In the Jinse Building to the west, the Jinse Building was originally an inn, and every Liangdu Race would be vacated for people to live in."

Su Miao nodded, stopped for a while, she got up from the soft couch, stomped her feet, and said to her:

"I want to go to Jinselou to have a look, you take me there."

"Huh? Right now? Qing'er was taken aback.

"I want to go shopping, what, are there any taboos in your Jinse Tower?"

"That's not ......"

"It's not just right, let's go." Su Miao said with a smile.

Qing'er couldn't, so she had to agree first, while secretly instructing the little girl to report this matter to the third young master, while taking Su Miao to Jinse Tower to the west of Huixiang Building.

Jinselou has now become a special venue for the contestants of the King of Chef Competition, Qing'er introduced the shopkeeper of Jinselou to Su Miao, and the shopkeeper hurriedly saluted, and Su Miao asked him how many contestants had come so far. Yue Liang has a total of 20 provinces, the Liang competition is based on the province, went to Liangdu, each other place has a representative, there should be nineteen contestants, the shopkeeper said that it is not yet the deadline, and there are twelve contestants staying in the inn.

Su Miao nodded, looked outside the door for a while, didn't go in, turned around and was about to leave, at this moment, two young men wearing dark straight jackets came out of Jinselou with their teeth, obviously full of wine and food, and at first glance they came from other places, speaking in a strong local accent, and talked happily:

"It's worthy of Huixianglou, the dishes here are really different from other places!"

"Not really."

"Thanks to Hui Xianglou for not participating in the competition, otherwise your restaurant would be in danger."

"Indeed, our restaurant can all point to this blockbuster!"

"I'm coming back this time, just hoping to get into the eyes of the lord of Jiayang, and when the time comes, I can do things in Huixiang Mansion better than any restaurant!"

"The cooks in Huixiang Building are not good, I heard that the back kitchen here is even a famous chef who brushes dishes and washes dishes!"

The previous young man snorted lightly with his nose to show disdain and disbelief, and then smiled:

"Brother, have you heard that there are two in Qin'an Province in this final, and one of them is a yellow-haired girl who has not dried up."

"Overtime?" The other person was slightly stunned and asked suspiciously.

"It is estimated that only in overtime can two people come out, and Tong Ran of the ****** is nothing more than that, he was robbed of the limelight by a girl, and the girl doesn't know what the origin is, I heard that there is someone behind her, and the King of Chef Contest has also fallen, and she has learned to suppress people!"
