Chapter 1132: Acquaintances
Due to safety considerations, Feng Changqi has only been out of the house a handful of times during this time in Jiangcheng, and naturally he has never been to the restaurant outside, and Moon Dance is often in and out, but he knows nothing about it, after all, most of the time she always follows Lin Yuanping's little tail by her side, and she doesn't need to do many things herself, so when they came to the restaurant to face the dazzling menu, the two of them were a little entangled.
Unable to think of an outcome, she puts the menu in front of Fluttershy, "See if there's anything you like to eat here, you choose." β
Fluttershy looks at the two of them timidly, and it takes a while for her to choose a few of them.
Feng Changqi saw the price and smiled dumbly: "Do you think it's difficult for the two of us to even pay for a meal?" Why did you order that, don't forget that there are three of us. Although Feng Changqi was not in the mood to eat at this time, it did not affect her from teasing the little girl in front of her who was so well-behaved that she did not look like a child.
Fluttershy's cheeks are slightly red: "I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it back then?" β
Moon Dance was drinking tea, and when she heard this, she couldn't hold back, she almost choked on the hot tea, and coughed for a while before saying, "Who told you to pay back?" When the two of us brought you back, we never thought that you would repay us in the future! β
Since this little girl didn't dare to mess around, the moon dance could only start in person.
She grabs the menu and orders all the good-sounding dishes on it, fearing that Fluttershy won't like it, so she orders a few more pastries, smiles and winks, and says, "Don't kids like pastries, I'll order some for you." β
"It's your own liking."
Fluttershy sits upright, her hands hidden under the table clutching her sleeves, visibly nervous.
I don't know what torture this poor child has experienced before, as soon as he is treated well by others, the whole person is like a frightened bird, and he can't wait to grow a pair of wings and fly away, and when he talks to people, he is even more careful with every word and sentence, as if he is afraid that he will accidentally say the wrong thing and annoy others.
The more Feng Changqi saw her like this, the more distressed he became, and patted her head to reassure: "Since you have nowhere to go, why don't you go back with me, although I am not a good place for fine clothes and food, but I can assure you that you will live well there." β
There was a glint in Fluttershy's eyes, but it didn't take long for the glint to dim completely, "If you take me home, my uncle won't let you go." There used to be times when someone saw me pitifully and took me home, but every two days he sent me back. As soon as my uncle found out that I was missing, he would report it directly to the official, and he had some connections in the yamen......."
Feng Changqi snorted coldly: "It's okay, if he really dares to sue me, it's a big deal to go to court with him at that time, I don't believe I will lose to her." β
Fluttershy opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something more, but Moon Dance smiled and gagged her mouth, only to see Moon Dance confidently say, "It's not me who blows, even if Lord Taishou comes in person today, he will give my sister a little thin noodles, so what kind of backer in the yamen is it, and it deserves to be compared to my sister?" β
Fluttershy is stunned and subconsciously glances in the direction of Feng Changqi.
The best time for the restaurant business is in the evening, although there are many customers during the day, but with its scale, it can barely be busy, so Feng Changqi and a few people did not wait long for the dishes they ordered.
When those exquisite dishes were sent into the box one by one like flowing water, Feng Changqi was at a loss, and after carefully counting them, the puzzlement at the corners of his eyes became deeper and deeper: "Did you send the wrong dish, we didn't seem to order so much?" β
The shopkeeper stood aside and said with a smile: "That's right, these extra dishes were given to a few by our host, and a few people were asked to use them slowly." Anyway, no matter what the guests thought, he led the attendants down again, and suddenly only Feng Changqi and the other three people were left in the room looking at each other.
Feng Changqi has never liked to owe favors to others, and was about to get up to ask for an explanation, but was grabbed by Moon Dance's wrist. Hearing Yue Wuxin's avenue: "It doesn't matter, maybe the owner is someone we know well, so I sent a few dishes over, let's just eat, it's a big deal to say thank you to others when we see them in the future, and it's not in vain to waste a little bit of people's thoughts." β
Moon Dance's smiling appearance dispelled the defense in Feng Changqi's heart.
As Fluttershy said, this restaurant is the largest restaurant in Jiangcheng, and she won't do such a thing as self-destructing signs, and Fluttershy, who has been hungry for a long time, is watching from the side, and Feng Changqi can't bear it.
"Are you ready to eat?" Fluttershy's eyes lit up, and her saliva was about to water.
She was originally a cute little girl, but she didn't find out when she first saw her on the street before, because she was wearing a tattered shirt, and now she has changed into new clothes, lined with those clear eyes, which is more and more pitiful, Feng Changqi smiled helplessly: "Of course." β
A table of food was swept by Fluttershy and Moon Dance, and compared to the two of them who had good appetites, she looked particularly bizarre, and during a meal, Feng Changqi patronized the two of them, but she didn't eat a few bites, and when the two stopped the chopsticks, she also stopped the chopsticks. 97 Chinese
Yue Wu casually flipped over a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, and asked in confusion, "Sister Feng, you don't seem to have had time to eat two bites?" Aren't you hungry? β
Fluttershy, who is gobbling up, looks up.
Feng Changqi explained with a smile: "I ate before going out today, and now I don't have much appetite, you have eaten, then go back, I am a little tired from walking, I want to go back to rest first." β
As soon as he heard Feng Changqi say that he was tired, Moon Dance suddenly became nervous: "Then let's go back, I'll go to settle the bill!" After saying that, she hurriedly ran out of the door like a moon dancer, but after a while, she turned back in a daze, her delicate face was full of confusion, "It's really strange, Lin Yuanping and I have come to this restaurant a lot on weekdays, and I haven't seen anything wrong in the past, why did I come to the front of me today?"
First sent so many dishes, and then refused to accept the money, I wonder if someone has secretly done it. β
Feng Changqi's heart moved slightly, and he asked, "Has the shopkeeper ever explained the reason to you?"
"Anyway, he said that it was because the owner spoke," Moon Dance pulled up her sideburns and broken hair in distress, and couldn't figure out who the so-called owner was if she wanted to break her head, "But I don't have anyone I know here." β
"It's not difficult to figure out this matter, ask the proprietor to come and meet him, and thank him in person for his kindness, whether you know him or not, you will understand it all in person."
"Knock knock." There was a knock on the door, followed by the shopkeeper's voice: "Boss, that girl, please come over." β
Chu Mingxuan suddenly stood up from his position, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Let's go." Then, he looked at Lin Yuanping and said, "In this bet, you won the bet again." When they guessed the identities of the two people, the two bet on whether the girl would let the shopkeeper invite them, and it turned out that Lin Yuanping guessed correctly, not only that, but what he said was also a little more true.
When the two of them appeared outside the box one after the other, Feng Changqi and Moon Dance, who were smiling and talking in the box, were both stunned and immediately reacted. The smile on Yue Wu's face was undisguised, and she threw herself on Lin Yuanping's body in front of everyone: "No wonder this shopkeeper said that he refused to accept our money, it turned out that you did something behind!" When did you come? Why didn't you come to see me? β
Lin Yuanping's cheeks were slightly red, he was a scholar, he had always acted shyly, hugging and hugging in front of everyone, even if the other party was his fiancΓ©e, he would feel a little embarrassed.
"I just came here, and it's not my work that the shopkeeper is unwilling to accept money."
With a turn of his eyes, Lin Yuanping pointed at Chu Mingxuan and said, "This is the real owner of this restaurant, and it is also the reason why I went out today." β
Only then did Moon Dance realize that there were two people who entered the door, and when she saw each other's faces clearly, she said in surprise: "You are the one just now-"
Moon Dance subconsciously turned her head to look at Feng Changqi, who nodded, consciously affirming the conjecture in her heart that she hadn't had time to say: "I didn't expect you to know, cough cough, it also saved some trouble!" Just now, I was still discussing with Sister Feng how to repay your kindness, and now it's an opportunity to take the initiative to send it to the door. β
Lin Yuanping interjected: "What kindness?" β
When he was talking to Chu Mingxuan in the box just now, he hadn't heard the other party talk about any kindness.
Just as Yue Wu was explaining to him, Feng Changqi smiled slightly and nodded at Chu Mingxuan: "Thank you for your kindness." β
It was as if there was a pair of invisible hands stirring his heart, Chu Mingxuan's heart trembled slightly, his eyes were half lowered, and he didn't even dare to look at the eyes of Shangfeng Changqi, he only replied: "It's a trivial matter, Your Highness doesn't have to take it to heart." Oh yes, Your Highness, you shouldn't know the identity of the grass people, please let the grass people introduce themselves, the grass people Chu Mingxuan, a native of Jiangcheng. β
Since Chu Mingxuan and Lin Yuanping knew each other, it was not strange for him to recognize him, Feng Changqi was not surprised by this, but looked at Chu Mingxuan's hand twice, because she vaguely saw the familiar tones leaking out between her fingers.
Chu Mingxuan also noticed the inquiring gaze, and slowly opened his palm, only to see a delicately made hairpin lying silently in the center of his palm, which was the one that Feng Changqi had changed out for the bracelet.
Feng Changqi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why is this hairpin in the hands of Young Master Chu?" β
Chu Mingxuan settled down, tried his best to change himself into a calm appearance, and said with a smile: "This hairpin is worth a lot of money, and it is really not worth exchanging it for a bracelet." β
