Chapter 24: The Lost Jade Pendant and Miss Wu Family
Chapter 24
The maid smiled coquettishly and said, "Seeing that the son is anxious, my young lady has prepared dinner, please go to the dining room to use it!" ”
He Jinghui was anxious to inquire about the whereabouts of his jade pendant, so he hurriedly tidied up his clothes and went with her, "Thank you, girl!" ”
The maid smiled and said, "Childe, don't call me Huang Li so politely!" ”
"Oriole? Good name, girl, your laughter is really as pleasant as a yellow oriole bird...... "The gentlemanly demeanor cultivated over the years made He Jinghui subconsciously hold the yellow oriole girl a little, which made the smile on Huang Li's face a little sweeter. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Childe is really good at praising people, but I can't afford to be a little girl." ”
"I'm not boasting about this, but the girl's laughter is not only very pleasant, but also very joyful, and the girl must be very open-minded." He Jinghui explained very seriously. Over the years, his gentlemanly demeanor has already made him develop the habit of discovering the advantages of women and praising them, otherwise, how could he be a fat man in the crew?
This made Huang Li a little stunned, seeing He Jingxuan's serious expression, he couldn't help but cover his lips and smile, and then greeted He Jingxuan. "Then Huang Li can thank Gongzi for his compliment, Gongzi come with me, don't make my young lady wait for a long time." At this time, Huang Li's favor for He Jinghui was increased by at least 35 percentage points.
The backyard of this teahouse is a unique cave, pavilions and pavilions, the Champs are unique, and the scenery is so beautiful that people are intoxicated, He Jinghui thinks of the decoration of the teahouse and then looks at the decoration of the backyard, and feels more and more that the mysterious owner of the teahouse is more and more mysterious. It's like a teahouse, like the backyard of a wealthy family.
Following Huang Li around this extraordinarily large backyard, he enjoyed the scenery of this backyard, but the sky and the moon were exceptionally bright and fell on him like a silver plate.
Finally came to the dining room, the carved door was tightly closed, Huang Li gently pushed the door open, and the singing and dancing inside was leveled, isn't it just a meal, the rich are really exquisite, and they have to watch the singing and dancing while eating.
He Jinghui now lives in the mansion of the old county order that used to be crazy and shave the people's fat and ointment, and it is just as gorgeous as a bun, but it is far from the exquisite carving and style here, so this is a rich man's home with taste.
Through the dance, He Jinghui looked at a woman sitting behind a curtain on the upper seat, what did He Jinghui think, is this a curtain to listen to politics?
Huang Li led him to his seat, and looked at the woman behind the curtain full of exquisite meals on the table, and she looked at the artist, this plating shop was so exquisite.
It's just that he really didn't come to eat, he just wanted to ask if he had picked up his jade pendant, but he was really hungry with a rumbling stomach, and it seemed too impolite to ask directly.
Just now, He Jinghui was walking around in the courtyard and had heard that the owner of this teahouse was called Wu Meier, so he politely waved at the curtain and said, "Thank you girl for your enthusiasm to save you!" ”
The woman in the curtain didn't make a sound, just waved her hand, and the dancers immediately dispersed, and the dining room suddenly became a lot quieter, and the female voice inside said very clearly: "Welcome to He Gongzi." ”
The curtain slowly opened, which was a little different from what He Jinghui imagined, such a beautiful voice, the appearance generated in his mind should be very clear and beautiful like a woman like a clear lotus out of the water, but after seeing Wu Meier's appearance, He Jinghui felt that what he saw was more like a graceful and luxurious peony, sitting on the seat, her pretty eyebrows were elegant and revealing a few parts of profundity, which was also very incompatible with Wu Meier's charming name.
After Wu Meier raised the wine glass and saluted He Jinghui, she drank it down, heartily like a man, which made He Jinghui a little stunned, but after seeing Wu Meier show her at the bottom of the glass, He Jinghui naturally did not flinch, and drank the wine glass, the wine was very mellow and fragrant, and the wine was not strong, but after drinking, I only felt that the entire esophagus and stomach were warm.
"Good wine......" Rao is a person like He Jinghui who doesn't like greedy cups, and he can't help but praise it. Hearing He Jingxuan's praise, the corners of Wu Meier's lips lifted lightly, and she carefully looked at the He Gongzi who had been unknown in the past.
He Jinghui, who drank the wine, waited for a long time and didn't see Wu Mei'er speak again, and when he wanted to ask him about the whereabouts of the jade pendant, he only heard Wu Mei'er lightly open his lips and said: "He Gongzi came to the cold house for the first time, my cook used to be in the imperial dining room of the palace, and the food tasted good, Gongzi tried it......
He Jinghui really wanted to complain, my mother's daughter who couldn't beat the eight poles was the fire girl in the imperial dining room, and he made up a picture in his brain, the girl was burning the fire, and the chef of Wu Meier's family was cooking vegetables......
It seems that his He family is really destined for this Wu Meier and Miss Wu, and they both know the staff of the palace imperial kitchen organization.
He took a bite of the dish elegantly, although it was a very light garlic choy sum, but the heat was just right, crisp and refreshing, and the garlic was fragrant, and the other dishes were also full of color, flavor and flavor, He Jinghui also had to give the ancient chef a thumbs up in his heart to show his praise.
After tasting the delicacies in front of him, He Jinghui sighed with satisfaction: "This garlic cabbage sum is made just right, which not only maintains the crispness and fragrance of the vegetables, but also is very refreshing, this Longjing shrimp is made very authentic, which not only maintains the fragrance of the tea, but also makes the crisp and tender taste of the shrimp full of fragrance, Miss Wu's meal is really rich, and I am a little flattered to be treated by Miss Wu." ”
Wu Mei'er looked at He Jinghui with a hint of appreciation in her eyes and said, "If the son likes it, use it more." As he spoke, he drank another glass of wine.
He Jinghui also accompanied him with a glass of wine." Thank you for your hospitality! ”
He Jinghui just wanted to ask if he had picked up his jade pendant. But it seems that this Miss Wu doesn't mean to talk about this matter, and the amount of wine is really not small, and after the yellow bird added wine, she had another cup of belly. "I have a reluctant request, it's not that the Tao should not be ......"
He Jinghui looked at this heroic Miss Wu who drank wine, looked at the wine glass in front of him, and only took a sip of interest, and if he drank it like that, it was very likely that he would be drunk here before he asked about the matter. "If the girl has something to say, just say it."
Miss Wu said: "I accidentally saw the painting painted by the child, so I had the idea of asking the son to paint a picture for me, what I painted, it is a beautiful scenery, the scenery is very elegant, people forget to return, but unfortunately the scenery is beautiful, but can not stay for a moment, and now I have seen the skills of the child, so I have an idea, if I can paint that scenery on paper, hanging in the house, then I can often enjoy that beautiful scenery......
He Jinghui, who was gradually getting stronger, heard Miss Wu's request, and thought about it, it was not a difficult thing, with his own painting skills, not to mention landscape painting, even if it was a portrait painting, there would be no problem, so he agreed: "Girl, please rest assured, I am not good at art, as long as the girl does not dislike it, I will do my best to paint the scenery ......."
Speaking of this, He Jinghui seized the opportunity and then asked: "Yesterday, He and his brother came to Guicha to use tea, I don't know if a jade pendant was left in Guichalou?" ”
Miss Wu raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Oh, what kind of jade pendant is it?" ”
He Jinghui then asked Huang Li to pass on the appearance of the jade pendant he painted this afternoon to Miss Wu, and after Miss Wu saw it, she asked He Jinghui with great interest: "Seeing that Gongzi came to the teahouse today and fainted outside the door, he must have come to look for this jade pendant?" I don't know what is valuable about this jade pendant......"
He Jinghui didn't want to explain too much, but said: "This jade pendant, for other people, may be just an ordinary jade ornament, but for me, it has a very special meaning, very important to me, if the girl picks it up, please return it to me, He Mou will be grateful!" ”
Wu Mei'er smiled heartily, and her beautiful voice sounded again. "It's not necessary to thank you, it's just that when the people below just picked up this jade pendant, I thought it was a woman's thing, but I didn't want it to be He Gongzi's, He Gongzi didn't have to thank me again, just promise me one thing."
He Jinghui was overjoyed when she heard that she had picked up the jade pendant, and promised with a mouthful: "What is the girl, please tell me?" ”
Wu Mei'er smiled and said: "Childe agreed, the gentleman is hard to follow, I haven't thought about what it is, wait until I think of it in the future, and then look for Childe......" said Wu Mei'er hooked her fingers.
The maid took up a delicate little wooden box, opened the small wooden box, and his jade pendant lay properly on the white flannel.
He Jinghui took the wooden box and carefully put it into his arms, and he couldn't help but salute Wu Mei'er again: "Thank you, girl, for picking up the relics and returning them." ”
They continued to eat and drink, and the dancers came up to perform the fan dance, and the dancers danced exquisitely, and the cloud sleeves flew very beautifully.
Gradually, He Jinghui fell asleep because he was too drunk, and when he woke up, he found that he was still sleeping in the room he had been in yesterday, and the sunlight hit the ground through the carved window.
He Jinghui rubbed his very painful head, remembering that he drank with Wu Mei'er last night, and the scene was not very clear, but he touched his chest, and the jade pendant that Nian'er gave him was lost.
I felt very stable in my heart, Huang Li came in to serve him to wash, washed his face and combed his hair, and suddenly felt a lot of energy.
I heard Huang Li say that Miss Wu went to the tea garden early in the morning.
Ho Jinghui only asked Huang Li to say goodbye to Miss Wu for him and thank her for her hospitality. And he naturally didn't dare to continue to delay here, after all, his plan to make money had just begun, and many things needed to be done by himself, and he had been missing for so long, and if he didn't go back to the store, maybe Lin Wanghu would have to go to the yamen to find him.
He Jinghui left the teahouse and hurriedly returned to the shop that was still being renovated, seeing that Lin Wanghu was still busy working inside, and seeing He Jinghui coming, he said eagerly: "Lao He, where did you go, you disappeared for a day yesterday, and your mother sent someone to find you!" If you don't show up again, I guess she'll have to send people all over the city to find you! ”
He Jinghui only said: "I lost something very important yesterday to look for ......"
"Is there something wrong with my mother?"
