Chapter 186: Best Friends
Queen Song had a good intention, but Shi Wei was not disobedient, so she had to pretend to be flattered and agree.
should go on this blind date, and Queen Song let him go. The day after returning home, a word came from the people in the palace, saying that the queen had told the Song family, and that Miss Song asked him to talk about Yunlou for a while.
Shi Wei went home and pondered for a night, feeling that this marriage could not be accepted, if he agreed, it would not only be His Royal Highness who would be offended, but also Zhao Pu, and even the beautiful relatives of the first house.
If you don't agree, although you will offend Queen Song, in the palace, Shi Wei still has Mrs. Hua Rui to support her, and the wind blows on both sides of the pillow, and the situation is not really too disadvantageous.
"It's not good to just openly refuse, it's better to make that Miss Song look down on me, in this case......"
Shi Wei pondered and pondered, and he had a ghost idea in his heart.
It was dusk, and seeing that the time for the date had arrived, Shi Wei only said that there was something wrong and went out without telling his family.
The plain Shi Wei still pays attention to his image, although the dress is not too eye-catching, but it is also neat.
Today, when he went out, he deliberately wore an old dress with the bottom of the box, which was full of pleats all over his body, and smelled of mold.
He's trying to destroy his image.
When I came to the cloud tower by carriage, it was already night and the lights were on.
This cloud building is the largest restaurant in Luoyang City, there are three floors up and down, the scale is very huge, it is said that the owner behind it is the owner of the original Bianjing Fan Building.
Nowadays, Luoyang has become a permanent capital, where dignitaries and dignitaries often live, and many businesses from Tokyo have also moved to Luoyang, which soon brought prosperity to the nightlife of Luoyang City.
Although it is winter now, but this cloud building has been brilliantly lit, people in and out of the lively extraordinary, although not as prosperous as the Fan Tower back then, but it is also the most lively place in Luoyang City.
When Shi Wei entered the door, he suddenly remembered something, grabbed a few handfuls of slush, smeared a layer of dirt on the upper of his shoes, and then walked in.
After going up the three mountains, entering the VIP area, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Shi Wei looked around and found that there seemed to be no guests on the three mountains.
He was curious, and after asking, he learned that the three mountains had been given to a distinguished guest in the palace, and he would not receive others tonight.
Shi Weixin said that this Queen Song is really domineering, why don't you just give her niece a blind date, as for making such a big show.
Smiled helplessly.
Shi Wei introduced the Tianzi private room, where the wine and dishes had already been prepared, but the Miss Song had not yet arrived.
Whether ancient or modern, women always like to be late, which can be regarded as a dating convention.
Shi Wei looked at the plates of peanuts and other pastimes on the table, and after a pause, a sly smile suddenly flashed across the corners of his mouth.
At that moment, he rolled up his sleeves, peeled peanuts, and ate them with relish.
After a while, several plates of snacks were swept away for him, but as for those peels and shells, he threw them all over the table and the floor.
If others come in and see this messy scene, they will think that he is a country boy who has never seen much of the world and does not know how to count.
What Shi Wei wanted was this effect, including his sloppy dress today, in order to create a "disgusting" image for that Miss Song, so that she could retreat herself.
There was a sound of footsteps in the stairwell, it seemed that someone was coming up, and the light footsteps did not look like a shopkeeper, most likely that Miss Song was about to arrive.
Shi Wei subconsciously straightened his clothes and appearance, stood up and prepared to greet him.
Suddenly, he remembered what he was nervous about, wasn't the purpose of today just to disgust that Miss Song, and to pay attention to the etiquette of a fart.
Thinking about Shi Wei, he sat down again, Erlang's legs were cocked, and he wiped some residue on the corners of his mouth by the way.
"Such a self-destructive image, brother has sacrificed a lot this time......"
When he secretly sighed, the curtain was lifted, and sure enough, a woman walked into the private room.
Shi Wei swept the woman with his nostrils, but he was shocked all of a sudden.
Because the woman who came in was not Miss Song, but the Lord of Cheshire.
"Firewood...... Lord Cheshire! Shi Wei stammered in exclamation.
Chai Pearl was also very surprised when she saw that it was Shi Wei, and said strangely: "Shi Yuanzhi, why are you here?" ā
"Iā"
When the words came to his mouth, Shi Wei swallowed them back.
Facing the Lord of Cheshire, he didn't know how to explain, could it be that he was here to go on a blind date.
Shi Wei swallowed his saliva and asked rhetorically, "Why are you here, county lord?" ā
"I'm here to accompany a sister to meet someone, that's why I ......" As soon as the Cheshire lord spoke, his expression changed suddenly, and he pointed at him and exclaimed, "Are you the one she wants to meet?" ā
I see.
Shi Weizhen didn't expect that Miss Song and the Lord of Cheshire were best friends, and Miss Song was afraid that she would be embarrassed when she came out on a blind date, so she asked the Lord of Cheshire to come with her.
In this way, Shi Wei was embarrassed.
He didn't know how to respond to Lord Cheshire, so he had to smile helplessly.
This smile means that he admits that he is the object of Miss Song's blind date.
The surprised face of the Cheshire Lord immediately showed a look of annoyance, she glanced at Shi Wei, and sneered: "No wonder Lord Shi has not visited me since he returned to Beijing, it turned out that he had caught the daughter of the Marquis of Shuncheng, and he was too busy to come out." ā
Lord Cheshire's words were extremely sarcastic, but in Shi Wei's opinion, they were more jealous.
"What, are you jealous, county lord?"
Shi Wei smiled evilly, and as he spoke, he stepped forward and gently held her hand.
"Phew, who's going to eat your vinegar!" Lord Cheshire hurriedly pulled his hand away, pouting and taking a step back.
Although she didn't admit it, Shi Wei still smelled a strong sense of vinegar.
Looking at her jealous appearance, it is really more and more lovely.
Shi Wei's expression gradually became serious, and he sighed: "County Lord, you misunderstood, I came today, and I really had to do it." ā
"As a last resort?" The Cheshire Lord looked strange again, and his resentment seemed to be alleviated a little.
Shi Wei treated Queen Song's illness and how Queen Song matched, and truthfully told the Lord of Cheshire.
Lord Cheshire's expression gradually softened a lot, and he quietly listened to his explanation for a long time, but he doubted: "I still don't believe what you say, the queen mother has no reason, why do you want to match you and her niece?" ā
"Why, it's not for the Fourth Highness, that's why I thought of this trick to dig the corner of the Second Highness."
Shi Wei had to confide in her the truth, but his voice was much quieter, after all, although this kind of thing is well known, but as a court official, it is inappropriate to discuss it publicly.
Although the Lord of Cheshire rarely participates in politics, as the Lord of the County, he has access to many powerful people, and he has naturally heard of Queen Song's love for His Royal Highness.
She Bing Xue was smart, pondered the cause and effect, and quickly figured out that Shi Wei was not lying.
"Then you know this, why do you still come on a date, could it be that you really plan to betray your second brother?" Lord Cheshire questioned loudly.
The second prince Dezhao has always taken care of the Cheshire Lord, and the two are like brothers and sisters, so they are naturally on Dezhao's side at this time.
Shi Wei sighed again, and said helplessly: "Of course I won't turn my back on His Second Highness, but I can't afford to offend the queen mother." ā
The Cheshire Lord became more and more suspicious, stared at him and said, "Then what are you going to do, is it possible that you want to step on two boats, and you can't please both sides." ā
"If I wanted to please both sides, I wouldn't be dressed like this today." Shi Wei took a step back and said aggrievedly.
The Cheshire Lord began to notice what he was wearing, glanced him up and down a few times, and couldn't help laughing: "Why are you dressed so down, it's too ...... **"
Before she finished speaking, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said in surprise: "Are you deliberately dressed like this, trying to make Zelan disgusted with you, so as to push this family affair?" ā
Shi Wei smiled: "The county lord is smart, my little trick is a little trick, and I can't hide it from your eyes." ā
The look of resentment on the face of the Lord of Cheshire really faded at this time, and was replaced by relief.
Shi Wei held her hand again, and said apologetically: "I don't know this Miss Song, your county lord, your friend, if I knew, I would rather offend the queen mother, and I would definitely refuse in person, and I will save you the embarrassment of being tired today." ā
The Lord of Cheshire was happy in his heart when he heard this, and said with a red face: "You have no choice but to do this, the queen can't afford to offend, how can I blame you." ā
Shi Wei breathed a sigh of relief and tossed for a long time, finally letting her understand her mind.
He added, "Thank you for your understanding." But since you are friends with Miss Song, I don't want to embarrass you about this matter, so it's better for the county lord to go back first, and I'll deal with Miss Song. ā
Lord Cheshire shook his head and said, "Don't you know, Zelan is very smart and not so easy to deceive, I'd better stay and help you from the side." ā
The Lord of Cheshire is planning to stay and act with him.
With the Lord of Cheshire here, Shi Wei always felt a little uncomfortable, and immediately wanted to persuade her to go first.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard footsteps outside the door, and soon someone opened the curtain and entered.
The two of them were shocked, and quickly let go of their clasped hands, and distanced themselves from each other.
The curtain lifted, and a woman in a red cloak and fox fur around her neck stepped into the private room.
"Zeelan, why did you come here?"
"The road is full of snow, it's not easy to walk, I delayed for a while, I didn't expect you to come first, county lord."
When the two girlfriends met, they immediately ignored Shi Wei as transparent, and chattered and laughed hand in hand.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shi Wei took a closer look at Song Zelan, but found that she was really as Queen Song said, with a dignified appearance and elegant temperament.
In terms of appearance, her appearance is not very outstanding, but the quiet and elegant temperament she exudes is like innate, just look at it, but it makes people feel like a spring breeze.
Shi Wei was unconsciously infected by her temperament, and couldn't help but take a few more looks.
At this time, the Cheshire Lord suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Look at me, patronizing and talking, I almost forgot what I was doing with you today." Zelan, this is the stone boy you want to meet. ā
Song Zelan turned her face and looked at Shi Wei.
