Chapter 6 My Fair Lady, Gentleman

If Shi Ruoyun and Lin Wanjing have some friendship, they invite each other to have lunch, and the small gathering between girlfriends is still in the past, but when Liu Jin arrived at Yunlu Hotel, he saw an endless stream of private cars from all walks of life, and then saw that the people who came out of the car were all the young ladies and young masters in Luzhou and the surrounding areas, and a sense of crisis arose spontaneously - although the "Junior Chamber of Commerce" is named as the social field of the rich second generation of Luzhou, there is a hard condition for joining the club: there is no good relationship for the time being. So Lu Canghan's unintentional words the night before now come to think of it with a deep meaning: I'm afraid that in this Luzhou City, he is not the only one who wants to make an appointment with Lin Wanjing.

Knowing that the Chamber of Commerce had chartered the open-air garden in the backyard as the venue, Liu Jin asked the little servant who led the way to choose a seat for him with a view of the garden. I heard that Liu Jin must have a private seat today, and the big boss of Yunlu Hotel was afraid that the little guy had heard it wrong or neglected, so he came to confirm with Liu Jin in person, but Liu Jin only said that the sun was just right today, and he wanted to breathe, so the big boss was relieved.

Someone invites him to dinner, Lu Canghan will never be late, as soon as the refreshments are served, the little guy has already led him in the direction of Liu Jin, and as soon as he takes a seat, he laughs:

"The young marshal is so interested today, why don't you think the elegant seat is noisy and has many ears and eyes?"

Liu Jin poured him a cup of tea and motioned him to look out the window: "I have heard that the JCI has recruited talents, has strong strength, monopolizes the north-south trade routes, and it is not a problem to buy the south coast." It's still difficult to gather them together on weekdays, so why don't you take the opportunity to see them today? ”

"Do you know that Lin Wanjing is here to attend this party?"

"So, you know that?" Liu Jin raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

"I saw her at the door just now, and I found out." Lu Canghan paused, "Guess what?" The young master of Heyanfang personally drove for her, isn't this attitude a little too obvious? He wanted to watch the play at all, so he deliberately omitted Lin Wanjing's details of "having a difficult face", "smiling reluctantly", and "deliberately polite and intended to show attitude".

Sure enough, Liu Jin's expression was grim, and he turned his head to look out the window, and just happened to see Lin Wanjing entering the venue accompanied by Shi Ruoyun, followed by this boy in a gray tweed trench coat, presumably the young master of Heyanfang that Lu Canghan said. At this angle, he could only see her back, wearing his silver fox fur cloak, which was originally custom-made according to his size, Lin Wanjing was wearing a little longer and wider, maybe the sun was warm and hot, she took off the cloak, and only wore a gun-gray velvet dress with a generous neckline, the curls that usually hung down on the waist were tied high today, I don't know what kind of trick cleverly camouflaged its true length, and the hair hooked in the ears just hung down to the collarbone, The playful and cute appearance even the little guys can't help but take a few more looks. It's just that the corners of her mouth always maintain a polite smile, and her eyebrows are a little tired, and she seems to be lacking interest in this party.

Isn't there no interest, if she had known that it was such a social field, Lin Wanjing would definitely find an excuse to push it off, from entering the venue to the present, name, birthday, hobbies, favorite flowers, favorite animals, what flavor she likes the most, she answered these questions no less than 20 times, there are always people who change their tricks to bring her all kinds of desserts and coffee, Shen Junyi and Shi Ruoyun are even worse, the two are like her left and right protectors, almost inseparably following, she feels like a parrot on a flower stand, and she is taken around by these two people to show off, as if wishing everyone knew how well she knew the two of them. If it weren't for the fact that she had to confirm the luncheon menu at this time, Lin Wanjing would not be quiet for a while.

In fact, since the successful resolution of Heyanfang's deliberate delay in the delivery date, Lin Wanjing has deliberately distanced herself from Shen Junyi, he has made countless appointments with her under various excuses, but she has not been invited once: Shen Junyi's previous actions made her feel that she had to draw a line with this man - she is extremely disgusted with people who do not keep her promises, even on the battlefield where there is no gunpowder smoke like a shopping mall, even if businessmen have always been profiteering and mercenary, even if Shen Junyi's actions are reasonable from the perspective of businessmen, Even if he is still a considerate and gentle man in private, he treats her well. She vaguely felt that today's gathering was not just a luncheon at the Chamber of Commerce, Shen Junyi and Shi Ruoyun's frequent eye contact, tacit understanding of the topic of transfer, and deliberate avoidance of the important made her feel that this was a bureau set up by Shen Junyi to ask Shi Ruoyun, the purpose was to let her come.

This suspicion was confirmed after the luncheon was seated - Shen Junyi, as the current president of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, sat in the main seat, and Lin Wanjing was arranged on his right hand, Shi Ruoyun, who was supposed to sit opposite her, sat on her right hand, which did not conform to Shi Ruoyun's identity as the organizer, nor did it conform to the rules of Western-style banquet men and women interspersed with seating, Shen Junyi's mind was Sima Zhao's heart and everyone knew it, and this European-style long table luncheon mode was more like Shen Junyi's deliberate flattery, and figured it out. Lin Wanjing sat even more uncomfortable - she was extremely disgusted with being tricked, especially this kind of self-made smart routine.

Halfway through the luncheon, Lin Wanjing barely ate, and all the meals delivered to her were just a small bite of it, all of which Liu Jin saw in his eyes: he had brought her to Yunlu Hotel more than once, and Lin Wanjing still liked the flavor of the dishes, but today she almost didn't move her chopsticks uncharacteristically, and she couldn't help but be puzzled. Compared with his slight thought, Lu Canghan has a good appetite and has no heart and lungs - it is not the first time he has come to Yunlu Hotel, but it is the first time to enjoy Liu Jin's "private menu". When his chopsticks once again stretched out to the olive perch that he had eaten half by himself, he caught a glimpse of Liu Jin's expression becoming more and more solemn, and subconsciously said:

"I said you, if you really want to know something, just ask. Always looking at it secretly like this, it's a bit like a pervert. ”

But he heard Liu Jin's "tsk", so he made a zipper action between his lips in an interesting way, and then compared to OK, raised his hand and motioned for the little guy to add another bowl of rice to him, and the little guy answered and was about to leave but was stopped by Liu Jin:

"What did they order?"

The "they" in Liu Jin's mouth naturally refers to the luncheon of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, and the little guy thought for a while before he understood this matter, and said: "I don't know, but if the young marshal is interested, the little one will go and copy a menu for you." ”

Disdainful for a while, the little guy took the rice that Lu Canghan wanted, but the copied menu was personally brought by the big boss of Yunlu Hotel - he didn't know why Liu Jin was interested in this, but he was cautious that the little guy wouldn't be able to deal with it. Liu Jin took the menu and looked at it, although he knew that they were all extremely expensive ingredients by looking at the name, whether they were on the price list or not, but the few things that Lin Wanjing preferred did not appear on this menu, so he said:

"Let's add a few more dishes to them, and they said I invited them."

Most of the dishes on Liu Jin's private menu are expensive, so this request he made should have been accepted happily, but at this moment, the big boss of Yunlu Hotel looked embarrassed and hesitated for a long time before saying:

"Young marshal, this ...... I'm afraid it's not in accordance with the rules......"

"Rules?" Liu Jin raised his eyes to look at him, waiting for the following.

"Uh...... The young marshal didn't know that the meals at this luncheon were ordered by the young masters of each family for a certain young lady, and whoever ordered more dishes for this young lady ate was the one who was better, and he could pursue this young lady first, unless he gave up or was rejected, otherwise others were afraid that they would not have this opportunity. The big boss smiled, "Many of the ingredients for today's dishes were prepared a week ago, and even the chef was specially invited to come across half of China, just for the beauty of the eyes, and smiled." Seeing that Liu Jin didn't answer, he seemed to be interested, and the big boss said: "Today's first prize is only afraid that the son of the Shen family is determined to win, our young lady and Shen Gongzi have had a friendship since childhood, and explained that the dishes of Shen Gongzi in the back kitchen must be carefully made, and the best deep-sea white shrimp just entered the port early this morning, and they were sent urgently." ”

Lu Canghan glanced at Liu Jin's expression, and deliberately coughed a few times, the big boss is naturally a person who knows how to read colors, and the voice is here and waiting for Liu Jin to speak. Liu Jin thought about what she said just now, but she couldn't figure out whether Lin Wanjing was kept in the dark or knew it-if she didn't know, looking at this table full of delicacies, it was impossible for anyone to be indifferent; But if she had known, with her personality, she would never have participated in such an activity.

"Dare to ask which young lady is so stunning today, who let your sons make this kind of blood?"

"That's Miss Wan Jing of the Lin family. The family background is solid, the appearance is handsome, and he has stayed abroad for higher education, even in front of foreigners, he can speak in front of foreigners, he can be described as a fair lady and a gentleman. ”

Lu Canghan's cough this time was more obvious, and Liu Jin naturally could hear his intention, raised his eyes and glared at him, and then said:

"If it's not in accordance with the rules, then forget it." He tore the menu in half, "Help me add a few dishes, just for this Miss Lin, needless to say that I ordered it, just serve it to her." ”

"What do you mean, young marshal?"

"What you say, fair lady, gentleman. Coincidentally, I'm also a little interested in this young lady. ”

When it comes to this, the big boss only blames himself for being too talkative, and it's not good to excuse himself, so he should accept it and tell the little guy to let the kitchen prepare. After a while, the dishes were ready, and the little guys pushed the tea cart to Lin Wanjing's side, Shen Junyi wondered: The dishes ordered are all ready, but what are these dishes? The big boss didn't know how to explain to Shen Junyi, and said to his own young lady:

"Miss, there is a gentleman who ordered a few dishes for Miss Lin, I'm afraid I have to serve it."

Shi Ruoyun heard it, yo, I'm afraid this drama is interesting today! Her gaze wandered around the table, "Who of you is such a chicken thief, sneaking to let the back kitchen add vegetables?" ”

"No...... It wasn't added by the sons at the table. The big boss said cautiously.

"Who added that?"

"No...... Can't say ......"

Shi Ruoyun sneered: "It's quite mysterious, okay, since it's all done, then let's serve it, it'll be cold later." Shi Ruoyun wanted to watch the show, so he didn't think it was a big deal and ordered the little guy to clean up the table.

The dish was presented, the lid of the bowl was removed, and Xiao Er reported the name of the dish loudly, for fear that everyone at the table would not hear it:

"Two main dishes: braised prawns with fat crisp base oil, steamed mushrooms with camellia seed oil; Original cup of a product: fresh minced meat Longjing bamboo sun; A sweet soup: pigeon eggs stuffed with sugar osmanthus wine. Meals. ”

Shi Ruoyun listened to the name of the dish but was unfamiliar, it was not like the inherent dishes of Yunlu Hotel, and then looked at the dishes, although they were not rare names, but the workmanship was indeed one top and one fine: the prawns were cut to the tips and sharpened, the back was opened and the feet were removed, and the bright red shrimp oil was poured on the tofu block at the bottom, which was crystal clear, and it made people open the taste just by looking at it; The top of the mushroom is carved with star patterns, the pedicle is removed, chopped and filled back into the mushroom cover with minced meat, the dissatisfaction is not overflowing, the oil soup is clear, and the tea fragrance is pleasant; As for Longjing Zhusun, Zhusun is not a common ingredient in Yunlu Hotel, but there is a cup of high-quality storage in the eldest brother's house, at that time he said which big man it was, frowned and thought for a long time, only to remember that there was a "cloud" on the red cloth that sealed the cylinder, and suddenly sweated:

Rear Marshal of the Luzhou Navy, the eldest son of the warlord Liu Jin, the word "Yunrou".

Lin Wanjing has eaten all these dishes, after all, Liu Jin has brought her here many times, and those dishes on his private menu, if they are not not available in this season, they have basically eaten them. And these dishes in front of her are what she inadvertently said she liked. Warmth rose from the bottom of her heart, she suddenly had an inexplicable sense of security, she was still worried that this "Hongmen Banquet" would not know how to end, at this moment knowing that he was here, and he took action to solve the situation for her, he would not see her embarrassed, the thousand-pound stone in her heart fell, and a relaxed smile unconsciously emerged. Shi Ruoyun turned her head to look at Lin Wanjing's smile, since she stepped into this venue today, she has never shown such a look, this relieved smile can be so sweet that people are tired of death, she should know who the name of the person who ordered these meals for her, so she realized that she was probably stabbing the basket - she casually agreed to help Fa Xiao chase Lin Wanjing, who knew that she was digging Liu Jin's corner, and hurriedly left the table to pull aside the big boss who accompanied her to serve the food:

"Yun Shuai is still here?" Seeing that the big boss nodded cautiously, his expression became more and more anxious: "Why are you still stunned, go find my brother, I was miserable by Shen Junyi's kid!" ”
