Chapter 56: Chu Lingyun
The diners in the Xingyue Building quickly dispersed and were driven away. Although there are also those who scold their mothers, and there are all kinds of anger and dissatisfaction, but in front of those tall shopkeepers, they have to leave stupidly. However, apart from this, no one actually suffers.
Xingyue Lou is very generous, and all the diners just now are free of charge, even if they eat and drink for nothing. Such conditions leave people speechless. After all, the shopkeepers have said that there is something important in Xingyue Tower today, and it will be closed for half a day. Therefore, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and everyone gradually disperses, but nothing happens because of this.
After waiting for the shopkeeper's Lao Pang to come up and report diligently, he was really praised by Chu Jiangmian. And Lao Pang looked flattered, happily directing the wine and food back and forth, serving on the side.
The huge three-story restaurant suddenly fell silent. All the staff of Xingyue Tower were respectfully waiting outside this luxurious private room. This specially set aside room has never been qualified for a meal by any outsider. Even if it's empty all year round, it has only one owner. And today, its owner has finally come to eat again. This is the first time this year. How dare everyone under Lao Pang, the shopkeeper of the restaurant, be careless?
"Just for a few of us to eat, I drove the whole building away...... You're a ...... Alas! I just don't know what to say about you. ”
Murong Qiancheng, accompanied by Jiang Xue'er, went to freshen up first. Although she is still wearing the old dress, when she washes away the dust of this road, she is blushing and beautiful, and it is difficult to hide the city. Seeing the reproach in her eyes, Chu Jiangmian touched his nose a little embarrassed and said with a smile.
"Oh, I can't blame it. You are all my Chu Jiangmian's guests, you have come from afar, of course you have to entertain well...... Old Pang is a good intention, isn't he? ”
"Yes, yes, yes! The little prince went to Zhongzhou to worship the Son of Heaven, and it was really hard to go for so many days. Now...... Oh, that glorious return, of course, has to be greeted in the most solemn way. It's just that our little prince has never liked publicity, and Lao Pang can only try to keep it as clean as possible. Let the little prince and his distinguished guests be able to eat and rest in a quiet environment. It's a shame, a shame...... Hey! ”
Lao Pang nodded on the side, and the smile on his face was as obscene as he could.
Murong Qiancheng saw that the shopkeeper of the restaurant was extremely flattering to Chu Jiangmian. She suddenly realized that the guy she had thought had become a hero in a trance along the way, once he returned to his own territory, he finally regained his true nature. When she was about to sarcastically say something to him angrily, Jiang Xue'er had already pulled her arm and sat aside with a smile.
"Sister Qiancheng, let's come and eat! There are a lot of delicious dishes upstairs in Xingyue, anyway, my brother has a treat today, and I want what I like to eat...... I'm going to be hungry along the way! ”
"That guy...... Oh, Xue'er, your brother Jiang Mian, is he like this in Zhao Kingdom? ”
"yes, what's wrong? Brother Jiang Mian has always been a temperamental, he can do whatever he wants...... No one dared to mess with him casually anyway. Hee-hee! ”
This pair of strange brothers and sisters, Murong Qiancheng was speechless. She rolled her eyes and simply stopped looking at the guy sitting across from her.
Chu Jiangmian greeted everyone warmly, let go of eating, no need to be restrained. Xiao Li and Bai Ye were a little embarrassed at first, but in the face of the full of delicious food, they couldn't help it. The blue bird, who was brought up by them, finally figured out who had saved his life. He secretly looked at Chu Jiangmian several times in a daze, and felt that he was somewhat similar to the legendary appearance, but absolutely different. It wasn't until Chu Jiangmian encouraged him to fill his stomach quickly with his gaze that the young man carefully ate the dish in front of him.
Lao Ji sat in the corner without saying a word, just bowing his head and drinking wine and eating meat. His edge is only shown in front of the enemy. Now he's just Lao Ji, the ordinary coachman.
Everyone is a person who has experienced hardships together, and since this prince of Zhao is so reckless, there is no need to be polite. The dishes in Xingyue Building are really delicious in the world, and the wine brought up by the shopkeeper Lao Pang himself is even better. Xiao Li smacked his lips after drinking a full one. glanced at Lao Ji, who was quietly drinking to himself, and looked at Chu Jiangmian suspiciously. Finally couldn't help but ask.
"Brother Mian, how do I feel that the wine here is the same as the ones you gave you when you were in Zhongyue Mountain?"
Seeing his straightforward appearance, Chu Jiangmian couldn't help but be a little amused. It's just that there are some things he doesn't want to talk about now. Then he said in a joking tone.
"Of course! Because they are all from Zhao Guo, Zhao Guoshan and Jiang, nail art world. Hehe! That's the water here, and the wine tastes so-so. How...... Xiaoli, don't you think it tastes good? ”
"No, no! I just thought it was strange, and I thought it was all from your hands...... It's really delicious! ”
Xiaoli took another big sip, feeling that his heart was hot, and the fatigue along the way was gone, and he couldn't help but praise him repeatedly. Unexpectedly, Jiang Xue'er, who was talking to Qiancheng on the side, finally couldn't help it, and she whispered quietly.
"Xiaoli, don't listen to Brother Jiang Mian fooling you. In fact, this Xingyue Building ....... ”
Later, she lowered her voice even more, and no one else heard it. Xiao Li and Qiancheng's faces showed a look of sudden realization, obviously understanding a lot of things.
"Xue'er, what the hell are you doing, what are you talking about?"
Under the personal service of Lao Pang, the shopkeeper of the restaurant, Chu Jiangmian, who had gobbled up most of his fill, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he did not drink because of the injuries on his body. But I finally made up for all the food I owed along the way. It is said that he has lived so much, and he has never experienced such hardship. Jiang Xue'er stuck out her tongue, quickly changed the topic and replied with a grin.
"Xiaoli said that this wine is delicious! There is absolutely no other place in the world...... However, Brother Jiang Mian, when we were in Los Angeles, why did we give the brewing method of this wine to those Qi people? ”
Chu Jiangmian was slightly stunned, he didn't understand why Jiang Xue'er suddenly cared about this. But in the blink of an eye, he saw the pair of eyes beside her that quickly shifted away, and he seemed to have an understanding. Jiang Xue'er must have said something to Qiancheng when she was on the road, so she had such a question! He was secretly amused, so he made a deep and serious appearance.
"The people of Qi exchanged for such precious blue rhino beads, and we made a lot of money...... What's more, these things are the great plan of this prince to enrich the country and strengthen the army, how can you girls understand it? If you really want to know, you can ask me separately when you have time. ”
When the others heard Chu Jiangmian say this, they really thought that there was some mystery between him and the people of Qi State. But Murong Qiancheng Bingxue is smart, how can he not hear the ridicule of himself in his words? She secretly rolled her eyes at someone again, and wanted to say something-for-tat with him, but she had just come to Zhao Guo and was in front of so many people, so it was inconvenient to say more.
Soon, though, someone will be angry for her. Just as Chu Jiangmian was proudly greeting Xiao Li and Bai Ye to eat more, he suddenly heard someone behind the screen on the side of the hall say in a mocking tone.
"The dignified prince of Zhao behaves like a three-year-old child, and his vision is so short-sighted...... Hum! But I don't know how the queen in Jinxiang Palace taught. ”
Murong Qiancheng was secretly taken aback. As far as she knows, Jiang Xin, the queen of Zhao, has always been loved by the people. It stands to reason that if anyone inside or outside Dragon City dared to say anything disrespectful to the queen, those who heard it would be angry. What's more, it is unthinkable to reprimand it like this in front of Chu Jiangmian. But now, not only did this prince of Zhao have no overreaction, but even his powerful coachman and the shopkeeper of this restaurant seem to be deaf all of a sudden. One deafly deaf continued to sit in the corner and drink, while the other hurriedly stepped back and pretended to be casual and looked out the window at the market. Only Xiaoli, Bai Ye and the boy were left to sit in a daze, not knowing what would happen.
This is incredibly confusing. Murong Qiancheng turned his head to look at Jiang Xue'er, and was about to ask something, but saw that the little princess hurriedly grabbed her hand, and squeezed her eyes to tell her not to talk more, so as not to suffer from the disaster of the pond fish later.
Of course, Chu Jiangmian didn't react. But after hearing that voice, my mind was already thinking quickly about how to deal with it. Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, he turned around with a wry smile, and saw the woman with a light veil turning the screen, her bright eyes were like a flood of autumn water, and the stern color revealed in them made people dare not look directly.
"Auntie, where does this begin? That one...... I haven't seen you for many days, and you've been well? ”
Lao Pang, the shopkeeper of Xingyue Building, and those shopkeepers who were sturdy and unusual at first glance, all saluted the woman respectfully, and then retreated outside.
The wind shines through the long windows, slightly rolled beaded curtains. Blowing the thin veil on the woman's face, she reached out and took it off. After seeing that appearance clearly, even Murong Qiancheng, who had always been very conceited about his appearance, couldn't help but secretly admire it in his heart.
"She's so beautiful! Hearing him call her aunt, is she ......? ”
The clever Qiancheng guessed correctly. Few outsiders in this world know that the real owner of the South Star Moon Tower in Dragon City is this young woman who is peerless. The only sister of King Zhao Chu Lie, Chu Lingyun.
"I said, what kind of ridiculous things did I do when I went out this time, and how did the injuries on my body come from?"
Chu Lingyun glanced past Murong Qiancheng, and then looked at the wound on Chu Jiangmian's body that was not completely well bandaged, and his tone contained both reproach and distress.
