Chapter 226: Good Tea
The first time Lu Li greeted Chang Wen, Chang Wen recognized his face, after all, both of them were favored by the imperial court, and of course they cherished each other.
He saluted Lu Li: "I've seen General Lu." ”
Lu Li was amused by his restraint, waved his hand and said, "It's not in the court now, so you don't need to be polite in private." ”
Chang Wen agreed softly, but the etiquette was not lacking at all.
"I seem to have seen you arguing just now, is something wrong?" Lu Li approached with Xiaodong in his arms, raised his eyebrows and said, "For everyone's sake, don't be too careful, be tolerant, don't hurt the harmony." ”
Ruqing knew that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "There was no contradiction, I just mentioned him a few words about Shuang'er's problem." ”
Everyone's eyes suddenly turned to Qin Shuang'er's body.
The latter was stunned, puzzled by Chang Wen's true identity, until Chang Wen gently patted the back of her hand, and she suddenly reacted: "That's right, Miss Sheng was indeed speaking for me just now, although she misunderstood my relationship with Brother Chang, but she was also out of kindness, so it's okay." ”
"Misunderstanding?" Ruqing's eyes widened, "Aren't the two of you a couple?" ”
Qin Shuang'er and Chang Wen glanced at each other, the corners of their lips invariably hooked up with a smile, and then shook their heads.
Since then, the embarrassed person was suddenly left with only Ruqing: "I thought the two of you were a couple just now, so I came over to mention it, it turned out that I had misunderstood." ”
She hurriedly said something about the faux pas.
At this moment, Shen Ya took care of the matter at the counter, and hurried over, hearing Ruqing's apology, he smiled and quipped: "I just said that their relationship is not necessarily what you think, you have to listen." ”
Ruqing was not happy when she heard this, turned her head and glared at Shen Ya and said, "Then why don't you persuade me?" ”
He had persuaded him, but to no avail.
Shen Ya was silently slandered in his heart, but he didn't dare to say his true thoughts.
A woman's heart is a needle, even if it is like a sunny day, this statement is also universal, it is better to say a few words.
When Ruqing was puffing up to settle accounts with Shen Ya, Xiao Dong in Lu Li's arms suddenly laughed, and opened his arms at Ruqing, looking like he wanted Ruqing to hug him.
Xiao Dong's appearance is like his name, Dongxue and Dongxue, the whole person is very white and tender, and his eyes are also clear.
was so coquettish by him, the anger in Ruqing's heart immediately dissipated.
"Little Dong is good." Ruqing cautiously took Xiao Dong, and pointed in the direction where An Xiabai was with her slender fingertips, "How about I take you to find your mother?" ”
Although Xiao Dong couldn't understand her words, he could understand the word mother.
Immediately applauded and cheered.
Seeing that the misunderstanding was resolved, Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief.
"I didn't expect to be able to meet General Lu in the restaurant so coincidentally today," Chang Wen said with a smile, "You also heard that the restaurant has special herbal tea, so you came here to try it?" ”
"No," Lu Li looked proud, "This is the property in the name of my wife, and I came here today, mainly because the child misses her, so I brought someone over to take a look." ”
The child must be the one in Lu Li's arms just now, as for who his wife is, Chang Wen didn't doubt it for too long, and then he saw Mrs. Lu herself.
An Xia Bai was pulled out of the back kitchen by Xiao Dong's hand.
The immature child, who did not forget to walk steadily, insisted on coming down, and she had no choice but to take Xiaodong's hand and slowly walk towards Lu Li.
"Husband, why did you have time to come over today, and you also brought Xiaodong Xiaoxue with you," An Xiabai asked suspiciously, "Didn't Aunt Zhou come with you?" ”
"Aunt Zhou said that she was not feeling well today, so she would rest at home."
Lu Li half-squatted down and hugged the little glutinous rice ball into his arms when Xiao Dong staggered over.
An Xiabai noticed the existence of Changwen almost at first sight.
Before she could ask, she saw Chang Wenzuo and greeted him with a serious face: "I've seen Mrs. Lu." ”
It was the first time that Lu Li's friends had greeted him so seriously, and most of the brothers in the military camp were teasing him before, An Xiabai asked with doubts: "Are you?" ”
"I often hear about it." Lu Li replied on his behalf.
As soon as he said this, An Xiabai immediately remembered that Li Wenfeng was her godfather after all, and the name of the person who found and rescued him in Xiaogang Village, of course An Xiabai remembered: "It turned out to be Master Chang." ”
She bowed, and then asked Chang Wen to sit down, and Lu Li to sit down too.
"It's rare for Master Chang to come to the restaurant, I'll ask for today's wine money." It just so happened that she was in a good mood, so she decided to cook a few dishes herself.
After everyone was in place, Xiao Xue, who had been holding Lu Li's thigh, suddenly became active, and when she saw Qin Shuang'er sitting not far away, she immediately rushed in her direction, hugging the person and not letting go.
An Xiabai was amused by his actions: "Xiaoxue still likes frost today." ”
"I like him too." Qin Shuang'er's eyes were crooked, and her soft fingertips gently rubbed against Xiaoxue's cheeks.
She stared at Xiaoxue, unaware that Chang Wen on her side was also staring at her, and her eyes were gentle.
After so many years, things are not people, only she is still the same as she was back then.
The heart of room temperature is soft.
"By the way, I haven't had time to ask, but it seems that Chang Daren and Shuang'er have known each other for many years?" An Xiabai narrowed her eyes slightly, and she saw all the interactions between the two of them.
"Yes." Qin Shuang'er had no intention of concealing it, and frankly talked about her relationship with Chang Wen.
When they were young, the two used to be neighbors, and then because of some changes, the Chang family suddenly moved away and cut off contact, and they met by chance some time ago, so today I came to the restaurant to have a meal and catch up.
"I didn't expect to be misunderstood by Miss Sheng," Qin Shuang'er was quite embarrassed, "I will pay more attention in the future." ”
Ruqing's cheeks flushed, and she excused herself that she was going to the back kitchen for a check-up, so she turned around and ran away.
An Xiabai shook his head and said playfully: "I don't think so, maybe Ruqing didn't misunderstand at all." ”
As soon as the words fell, before Qin Shuang'er could react to the meaning of her words, An Xiabai excused herself to go to the back kitchen to stir-fry vegetables, and turned around and left first.
Just as she stepped into the kitchen door, Ruqing ran out of it in a panic.
The undisguised panic on her face made An Xiabai feel uneasy: "What's wrong?" ”
"I just went to the storeroom at the back of the kitchen to check, and guess what I saw!" Ruqing's eyes widened, and she took An Xiabai's sign and wanted to describe the scene she saw just now, but before she finished speaking, she was directly interrupted by An Xiabai, "Take me to see." ”
It's better to see with your own eyes than to hear with your own ears.
Ruqing nodded breathlessly, pulled people and ran in the direction of the warehouse, and directly took An Xiabai to the place where the tea was stored.
"Look at these tea leaves!"
An Xia Bai stared at it, and sure enough, he saw the difference between one of the bags of tea leaves and the others.
The tea leaves are moldy.
Ruqing has never encountered anything like this, so she is anxious: "What should I do, such a big bag of tea must not be used to make tea, and I don't know if the people who came to take tea to make herbal tea today have found that if there is a guest who drinks the tea that runs out of this moldy tea leaves, our sin will be great!" ”
She is in a hurry, why not An Xiabai?
She could only try to calm her mood and try to find a solution to the matter: "These three bags of tea, the other two bags are relatively small compared to this bag, and they are obviously often used. ”
Ruqing nodded with a bitter face: "Maybe, Xia Bai, you said that there have been so many things in our restaurant recently, either someone has come to make trouble or someone has defaulted on the debt, and even the tea is moldy, it can't be that someone looks at the business of the restaurant and deliberately comes up with an insidious way to frame us, right?" ”
Her worries were reasonable, but An Xiabai didn't think it was a possibility.
"It should be that the guys in the restaurant didn't wash their hands when they took things, don't think too much." An Xiabai pretended to smile relaxedly, asked Ruqing to dispose of the moldy tea leaves, and went outside to call Qin Shuang'er to come and talk, and on the way, he also paid some silver at the account office, and stuffed it into her hand when Qin Shuang'er came over.
"Why did you give me so much money all of a sudden?" Qin Shuang'er hurriedly stepped back, trying to wave her hand to refuse.
"It's not for you, either." An Xia Bai took her hand and stuffed all the silver tickets, "This money is mainly for you to share the dividends of Feng herbal tea, and part of it is for your tea money." ”
Qin Shuang'er still didn't dare to accept it: "You can take the money for tea, but you can't share dividends." ”
Marrying into tangerine peel and brewing ordinary tea into herbal tea is mainly An Xiabai's own idea, how embarrassed she is to accept other people's dividends for no reason.
"Give it to you, and you can take it." An Xiabai didn't want to take advantage of her, coupled with Qin Shuang'er's life experience, she had already thought about the dividend from the beginning, "I told Gurney about the dividend at the beginning, and you agreed to cooperate, of course I have to give the money that should be given." ”
Qin Shuang'er wanted to say something, but before she could say anything, she was blocked by An Xiabai.
The latter talked about the moldy tea with a solemn face, and asked Qin Shuang'er to work harder in the future and send some tea.
"Yes." Qin Shuang'er looked worried, "I have been growing tea at home for so many years, and this is the first time I have heard that tea leaves can also become moldy, you can't be sloppy in this matter, you must check it carefully." ”
An Xiabai nodded in understanding.
Then they discussed the preservation of tea and tangerine peel again, and it was not until the evening that she couldn't finish sending Qin Shuang'er away.
Originally, Ruqing wanted to send Qin Shuang'er home, but she was cut off by Chang Wen halfway.
"I'll just send Shuang'er back, don't bother Miss Sheng."
Ruqing thought that their relationship was not simple, and it would be good to cultivate more feelings, so she agreed.
On the way home to send Qin Shuang'er, the two of them were a little silent compared to before, especially Qin Shuang'er, recalling her original guess, she was a little ashamed: "I didn't expect that after so many years, Brother Chang is already a court official, and it seems to be a bit rude to act before, I will pay attention to it in the future." ”
"No, you don't." Chang Wen smiled faintly and said, "No matter what my official position is, I will always be the brother next door in your memory." ”
