Xu Yanzhi said "hey" twice, pulled Mingyi back, and whispered, "That's Lord Xu, the commander of Jingwei, I have to go and say hello." ”

It just so happened that Xu Lingjie also saw the two of them, and he happened to meet Xu Yanzhi, he laughed and walked towards them, and arched his hand, "Xu Shizi, such a coincidence, I actually met in Wankelai." ”

Xu Yanzhi also smiled and arched his hand, "Lord Xu is so interested, is he here alone today?" ”

"yes." Xu Lingjie paused, saw Xu Yan knowing the woman with a hat behind him, and knew that it must be the female dependent of the Hou Mansion, so he smiled knowingly, "The prince is going to the private room?" ”

Xu Yan recognized his head, glanced at his sister in embarrassment, and said politely with a smile, "Lord Xu is not as good as ......"

"I won't bother the world, it just so happens that there is a seat downstairs, and I can listen to the music clearly, so I will eat in this lobby." Xu Lingjie laughed a few times indifferently.

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries and then separated.

Tong Yan saw the Xu brothers and sisters going upstairs, and happily asked Cheng Huai if she wanted to call them in.

Cheng Huai smiled and shook his head, "It's better not to make extraneous branches, if the two of them come, are you still afraid that Xu Lingjie won't be able to see you and me?" ”

Tong Yan pouted, why can't this Xu Lingjie come up and take a look?

Xue Chengcai disappeared quietly at some point, probably because he was too embarrassed, and walked away in disgrace.

The singer looked at Xu Lingjie with affection.

Xu Lingjie also looked at the singer with burning eyes, and took advantage of the situation to take advantage of the robe and sat in front of Xue Chengcai's table just now, "Come to the old three sets I often order, and add a pot of good wine!" ”

Xiao Er hurriedly went.

If the song just now was still sung in spring and snow, then now it is sung in the wind and snow, and the moon before the flowers.

Hearing this, the people in the whole restaurant were a little rippling in their hearts.

Tong Yan sighed twice, "Didn't this singer just say that she would rather be a poor wife than a rich concubine?" This time it changed again? ”

Cheng Huai held his cheeks and said lightly, "Look at the dishes." ”

Xu Lingjie ate very quickly, a pot of wine and three dishes, but it was almost swept away, he smiled and threw some reward money into the basket of the singer, and saw that he was about to leave.

Just as the singer finished playing the last note, the soft and delicate voice echoed in the lobby.

"Checkout." Xu Lingjie called Xiao Er, left a few taels of silver, and got up to leave.

"Your Excellency." The singer's face turned crimson, and she shyly stopped Xu Lingjie.

Xu Lingjie looked back at her suspiciously.

"The little girl's name is Qingqing, thank you for your rescue today." Saying that, she made a salute, and said coquettishly, "The posture of the little girl Pu Liu, she knows that she is not worthy of an adult, and she does not dare to say that she has no way to repay her personal promise, but when she asks the adult to listen to the music, the little girl can play a song for the adult, relieve the adult's worries, and repay the adult's kindness, and hope that the adult will allow it." ”

Xu Lingjie was not surprised at all, he looked at the singer carefully a few times, and her pupils were like ink, making it impossible to see his thoughts.

Qingqing's eyes were clear and he looked at him for a while, and then he lowered his head with a red face, pursed his mouth, as if admiring the hero in his heart, happy and shy.

Xu Lingjie showed a faint smile, and said with his chin bowed, "Such a trivial matter, the little lady doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

He gave her a deep look, smiled widely, and strode out.

Tong Yan and Cheng Huai had already finished their meal, and they were both upstairs looking at the excitement in the lobby, looking at the back of Xu Lingjie leaving, she tilted her head and wondered, "Is this done?" Why didn't Master Xu take her away? ”

Cheng Huai looked at the singer without blinking, and said lightly, "Whether it can be done or not, I will know in two days, although Xu Lingjie looks bold and open-minded, but in fact, his mind is still very meticulous, not all women will take it home, if he is interested, he will at least wait until he is sure of the identity of this woman before he acts." ”

"But isn't he having an affair with Jiang Er, well? He doesn't prefer a woman like Jiang Er? Is this singer beautiful? Tong Yan frowned and wondered.

Cheng Huai said, "Second Mrs. Jiang and Xu Lingjie are actually childhood sweethearts, and they have had a deep relationship since childhood, but unfortunately they have no fate as husband and wife. As for whether this singer is beautiful or not, since it can be used as bait, it must not be too ugly, the important thing is that this singer is slightly similar to Xu Lingjie's mother, Xu Lingjie's mother is the only daughter in the family, and there is no brother, so it is conceivable that the previous life will not be very comfortable, to a certain extent, when he sees this singer, he will inevitably think of his mother, so as to give birth to a little pity. “

If this singer has the opportunity to enter the Xu Mansion, Mrs. Xu will not embarrass her too much.

Tong Yan nodded knowingly, "So this singer is prepared." ”

"Xu Lingjie is a frequent visitor to Wankelai, and this singer only appeared in Beijing recently." Cheng Huai said.

Tong Yan hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively, "It won't have anything to do with Southern Xinjiang, right?" ”

Recently, she appeared in Jingshi, and her words couldn't help but think of the arrival of the envoys from southern Xinjiang.

Cheng Huai shook his head, "It's not clear, after all, no conclusive evidence has been found." He changed his tone and added, "But it's very likely." ”

Tong Yan couldn't help frowning, "What is this southern Xinjiang for?" Is it possible that you still want to plot the country? That's a bit of a rebellion.

But the solid land of the Central Plains, how can it be shaken by small actions, it is simply a fool's dream!

Cheng Huai chuckled lightly, nodded and said, "What you said is right, there is a little meaning, although he can't plot, he can loosen it from the inside, for example, by puppeting a future prince, the crown prince, or even the son of heaven, to control the entire Central Plains." "For example, the fourth prince of the Holy Lord, the only sound prince and concubine.

So I want to marry Princess Anle.

But the saint and the queen mother are not fools, how can they marry Princess Anle? Didn't you give your tail to southern Xinjiang?

Tong Yan was puzzled.

Looking at her wrinkled little face, Cheng Huai laughed, "Since Southern Xinjiang has made such a plan, it must have its own ideas, don't think about it so much, when the envoys from Southern Xinjiang come, they will naturally know." ”

Tong Yan glared at him and muttered, "What does this have to do with me, you brought me here just to see this?" ”

Cheng Huai raised his eyebrows and nodded, "The main thing is to invite the county lord to come over and taste the craftsmanship of the chef in this restaurant, and secondly, to come and see this liveliness." ”

Tong Yan suddenly understood that it was she who disrupted his plan, no, it was Mr. Gong who disrupted his plan, and he was originally going to come to this restaurant.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

The appointment with the maid was still far away, Tong Yan thought about it with her cheeks, and asked Cheng Huai if there was anything to do in the afternoon.

Cheng Huai smiled and said that he could take her out to play.

The meal was also eaten, the excitement was also seen, the two took their hats and walked out of the restaurant, Cheng Huai was still driving the carriage, carrying Tong Yan unhurriedly.
