Chapter 57: On Your Own Effort
Ying Heng has lived in Gu's mansion for a few days, but Gu Ziqing has not seen him except for the reception banquet that day.
This made Gu Ziqing very depressed, he couldn't see him, how could he brush up his favor in front of Ying Heng and repay his kindness?
She thought about it for a long time, and felt that this matter still had to rely on her own efforts, so Gu Ziqing asked Lu Cao to inquire about the place where Ying Heng was going today, so she could have a chance encounter.
Standing at the door of Chunfeng Building, Gu Ziqing smelled the smell of rice coming from inside, and her stomach couldn't help but ring.
Chunfeng Lou is the most famous restaurant in the south of the Yangtze River, its dishes are exquisite, variety, unique Jiangnan characteristics, and the whole restaurant is built near the water, you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery in the process of eating, listen to the Jiangnan minor tune sung by men and women by the river, there is a unique charm.
I have to say that Song Su invited Ying Heng here to report on official business, and he really put a lot of thought into it, thinking that he was also secretly currying favor with Ying Heng, so that he could go to the next level on the road of official career!
"Let's go, let's go in. ”
After that, Gu Ziqing walked in with the green calyx, and as soon as the two of them entered the door, a sharp-eyed Xiao Er greeted them.
"Miss two, what do you want to eat?" asked Xiao Er with a smile.
Gu Ziqing looked around, but did not find the figures of Song Su and Ying Heng, so he beckoned to Xiao Er.
The latter immediately understood, so he came to her and waited for Gu Ziqing's arrangement.
She leaned close to Xiao Er's ear and asked in a low voice, "Song Su, Lord Song, is still here?"
After listening to her question, Xiao Er nodded, and then pointed to a private room on the second floor and said, "Lord Song is in that private room, and today he also brought a guest official with a face, which he has never seen before." ”
Gu Ziqing looked clear, the person Xiao Er said was naturally Ying Heng, it seems that she came in time, they haven't left yet!
Now she just needs to find a place to stay, and when they come out, she can go up and have a chance encounter, and the following things will naturally fall into place.
Thinking of this, Gu Ziqing took out a silver ingot from his purse and handed it to the shopkeeper, and instructed: "I will sit at the position at the top of the stairs in a while, and when Lord Song and the guest officer come out, you will lead them downstairs from there." ”
As long as they go downstairs from there, they will pass by Gu Ziqing's side, and then they will naturally meet by chance, and she doesn't need to spend any scheming.
"Okay, okay, the little one has been written down, don't worry, Miss, I will naturally do it properly for you. The shopkeeper took the silver with a glint in his eyes and assured Gu Ziqing.
Afterwards, the shopkeeper led the two of them to a fixed position, served them wine and food, and then left.
Gu Ziqing tasted the wine and food in Chunfeng Building, and observed the private room where Song Su and them were.
About an hour later, there was finally movement in the private room over there, and Song Su walked out of it with Ying Heng.
The shopkeeper who had arranged in advance, seeing this scene, immediately stepped forward and led them to Gu Ziqing's side.
Seeing them getting closer and closer, Gu Ziqing hurriedly turned his head and looked away, secretly counting the time.
After they approached, he turned back suddenly, pretended to be surprised, stood up, and blessed them, "Little girl Gu Ziqing, see Your Highness, Lord Song." ”
"Miss Gu, are you also coming to this Chunfeng Building for dinner?" Song Su said with a look of surprise.
"Yes, I have nothing to do today, and I am a little greedy, so I want to come here to fight for my teeth. Gu Ziqing said with a smile on her face, "But I didn't expect to be here, it is really an honor for a little girl to meet His Royal Highness and Lord Song!"
After that, Gu Ziqing secretly glanced at Ying Heng, but saw that he was looking at him with a smile, Gu Ziqing hurriedly withdrew his gaze and did not dare to look at him.
I don't know why? Gu Ziqing always felt that Ying Heng's gaze was too sharp, and every time she looked at him, it was as if the other party had seen through her heart at a glance, which made her palpitate.
Maybe it's because Ying Heng has been on the battlefield for a long time! That's why his gaze is different from that of normal people, making people dare not look directly, especially after doing something wrong.
Ying Heng stood behind Song Su, seeing Gu Ziqing's unnatural expression and his eyes floating around, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile.
He has been busy with government affairs these days, and he has not had time to contact Gu Ziqing and investigate her affairs.
But he didn't expect that Gu Ziqing couldn't wait to send it to the door by himself, it seems that if he didn't take this opportunity to investigate her today, he would be too sorry for the bureau Gu Ziqing set up for him.
Thinking of this, Ying Heng cleared his throat and said with a warm smile: "It is also our honor to meet Miss Gu here today. ”
As soon as they heard this, Gu Ziqing and Song Su couldn't help but be stunned, they didn't expect Ying Heng to say such a sentence.
After reacting, Gu Ziqing looked at Ying Heng excitedly, feeling that he had the potential to get closer to him.
And Song Su looked at Ying Heng with a frightened face, and couldn't help but secretly slander, his own master is really willing to do anything for the sake of the task!
But Ying Heng didn't care about Song Su's eyes, and continued to say to Gu Ziqing: "I made an appointment with Miss Gu before, and I want to enjoy the scenery of Jiangnan together! It's a pity that I can't spare time for the past two days because of my busy official duties." ”
After speaking, Ying Heng pretended to be remorseful and let out a long sigh, as if he had missed something terrible.
Seeing him like this, Gu Ziqing hurriedly comforted: "Your Highness is busy with official business, so naturally you have to deal with business, as for the matter of rewarding, you can do it at any time, as long as Your Highness wants to go, the little girl will accompany you immediately." ”
"Is this true?" asked Ying Heng excitedly.
Gu Ziqing nodded and said firmly: "Of course, it is a fortunate thing for Sansheng to be able to accompany His Royal Highness to reward, and of course the little girl is on hand at any time." ”
Ying Heng smiled, then suddenly looked at Song Su on the side, and said, "Lord Song, we have all handled today's official business, right?"
Song Su was originally thinking about the things beside him, but Ying Heng's sudden questioning couldn't help but startle him.
After he stabilized his mind, glanced at Ying Heng, and understood his intentions, he hurriedly spoke: "Go back...... Back to Your Highness, today's official business has been taken care of. ”
"If it's still early today, and you've been tired for so many days, why don't we go and enjoy it with Miss Gu! ”
Hearing his words, Ying Heng secretly cast an approving glance at Song Su, but he still pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Lord Song's proposal is naturally good, but I don't know if Miss Gu has time?"
