Princess Huai and Mrs. Tong each sat on one side, and the prince insisted on refusing to sit down for the sake of humility, and personally helped Mrs. Tong to sit up, and chose the position of Chen's hand to sit down.

The old lady's face was wrinkled, her eyes were slightly squinted and she couldn't see anything, but Tong Huaiyuan nodded secretly, this young man is good.

Tong Qingyan didn't sit down, and they all stood obediently and quietly behind their respective mothers.

Tong Qingyan lowered her head from the moment she entered the house, and Zhou, who was sitting opposite Wen Lan, looked at her several times, feeling strange but not easy to ask.

Shuangxi carefully served the hot tea to Wen Lan, and quickly scratched it in Wen Lan's palm while she was unprepared.

Wen Lan raised her eyes and looked at her in confusion, and her eyes glanced at Tong Qingyan.

Princess Huai and Mrs. Tong were playing official tones, and they couldn't notice this side for a while, Wen Lan thought about it, leaned over and whispered a few words to Tong Huaiyuan, then stood up and took Tong Qingyan out of the main hall.

Out of the main hall away from Song Zhan, Tong Qingyan unconsciously let out a long breath.

Wen Lan was a little anxious to take Tong Qingyan's soft hands, her daughter's temperament knew by herself, if it wasn't for the emergency, she wouldn't be like this.

"Mother, what I'm going to say next is a bit important, so be calm when you listen to it."

"I can't calm down when you say that, don't comfort me, just say it, what's wrong?"

"I've seen Shizi."

"Persimmons? I've seen it, I've seen it, I was shocked, I thought it was a big ......" Wen Lan was suddenly stunned, and turned her eyes to look at Tong Qingyan incredibly, "The son of the world you are talking about, is it the persimmon that you think about for your mother?" ”

Tong Qingyan looked at Wen Lan with a calm face, and then sighed slightly.

"I don't know which one my mother is thinking, but the one I'm talking about is the one sitting in the main hall at the moment."

"Mother, mother...... Mother, don't scare me, mother! ”

Tong Qingyan looked at Wen Lan, who was completely stunned, and reached out and waved it in front of her eyes without reacting, which made her even more nervous than just knowing Song Zhan's true identity.

Wen Lan finally recovered from the extreme shock, but she still couldn't understand how her daughter got acquainted with that prince.

This time, Tong Qingyan didn't dare to sell Guan Zi again, and honestly didn't need Wen Lan to ask, and explained the whole process of getting acquainted with Song Zhan word by word.

"Are you saying that you not only taught the prince of Huai a lesson, but also made him owe you two hundred taels of roast duck?"

"To be exact, it's two hundred taels of roast duck money plus dinner money, a total of three hundred and forty taels."

"Oh yes, yes, yes, you paid for the last dinner, my daughter is amazing."

“......”

"Mother digresses, I'm sorry, hehe."

Wen Lan smiled apologetically, rubbed her hands, and thought about the cause and effect.

After all, her daughter was dressed as a woman, and she was not recognized at the time, the only thing to worry about was to arouse the suspicion of the prince of Huai, and it would be even worse if she went to investigate Ruyi Lou again.

Tong Qingyan and Wen Lan thought about the same, they still have to eat together today, although it stands to reason that men and women will have different seats, but there are few men in the Tong family, so I am afraid that they will still sit at the same table in the end.

was really afraid of something, and not long after the mother and daughter returned to the main hall, the old lady spoke and started the banquet.

Song Zhan felt cold when he saw himself and the two masters of the Tong family at the men's table.

In the end, at Song Zhan's suggestion, everyone put aside red tape and sat down at a table to eat, which added another layer of boredom to Song Zhan in Tong Qingyan's heart.

The princess naturally sat on the main seat, and everyone sat down in turn, Princess Huai and Song Zhan looked at the eight cold dishes placed in front of them, and they were stunned for a moment.

The rules of setting up meals among everyone are full of tables as soon as they come up, and the eating rules like the Tong family can be said to be very peculiar.

Zhou looked at the princess's expression, smiled slightly, and opened his mouth to explain.

"The princess is not strange, today's wind and dust washing banquet should have been according to the rules of the palace, but the little girl said that although the meal was prepared early and put in the steamer to ensure warmth, it was difficult to keep it delicious." Zhou observed the expressions of the princess and the prince, paused to see the princess's gaze swept over, and turned her face to the Tong Manjiao sisters before continuing to speak, "Today's banquet is in order to make the princess and the prince eat deliciously, so the chef will cook it freshly, don't blame the princess." ”

Although Tong Manjiao lowered her head, she felt that there was a strange gaze on her, and she endured nervousness and trembling and took out the model of everyone's ladies who usually raised her mother.

Princess Huai nodded with a smile, picked up the wine glass and looked at the clear wine in the glass, and the sweet aroma on the tip of her nose was wafting out of the glass.

"This cup of Chinese wine is lychee wine, and it will be set up today, and the taste will not be intoxicating, so the princess will try it."

Mingyue behind Chen just wanted to use the silver needle to test the poison, but saw that Song Zhan had already drunk it all, and before the sound of surprise could be spoken, Song Zhan was shocked.

"This wine is the same as that of Ruyi Building, was it bought from Ruyi Building?"

Tong Qingyan knew that she would not be able to escape today as early as when she was seated, if she had known that Song Zhan was the prince of Huai Wang, she would definitely explain to the kitchen today.

Hearing Zhou's talk about lychee wine, Tong Qingyan quietly paid attention to Song Zhan's reaction, and sure enough, he began to ask questions after drinking the goods.

Zhou didn't expect a glass of fruit wine to attract the prince of Huai, and he was immediately overjoyed, but he also replied respectfully and kindly with the appearance of a noble lady.

"This lychee wine is brewed in the house, and the wine and food in Ruyi House taste really good, but the chefs in our house are not bad."

Most people like Zhou only distinguish between delicious and undelicious food, but Song Zhan's tongue is much more refined, he is sure that this lychee wine is exactly the same as Ruyi Lou, if Zhou is not lying, then Ruyi Lou and Zhizhou Mansion must have something to do with it, at least there must be a relationship between the cooks.

After listening to Zhou's words, Song Zhan's thoughts turned a thousand times, but his face was not obvious at all, he smiled politely, and said no more.

On the contrary, there was a hint of curiosity in Mingyue's eyes, and she seemed to be very concerned about what was going on with the Ruyi Building mentioned by the prince.

The people at the table broke the dullness and embarrassment because of the lychee wine, especially Zhou's was very enthusiastic, and almost every dish had to explain the intentions.

The princess and the prince did not blame the Zhou family for breaking the rule of not saying a word, and even the prince occasionally asked a question or two, which made the Zhou family even more proud.

Tong Qingyan's heart became heavier and heavier with the coming and going of Zhou and Shizi, and the taste of a meal was the same as chewing wax, I really couldn't understand how such a delicious meal could not stop the mouths of these two people.

Song Zhan ate one dish after another, coupled with the explanation of Second Mrs. Tong, it is not an exaggeration to say that the chef of Zhizhou Mansion and the chef of Ruyi Building are the same person, but it is obviously impossible.

Originally, I deliberately dragged Su Yu to Ruyi Building for lunch, thinking that the food cooked by ordinary cooks must taste average, and it was burned in advance and kept warm in the steamer, and the taste would not be much better.

Unexpectedly, starting from lychee wine, the chef of the Zhizhou Mansion gave himself a surprise, and with the dishes that came up one after another, the more Song Zhan ate, the brighter the light in his eyes became, and he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

"I didn't expect the chefs in Zhizhou Mansion to be so good, I don't know if I can make golden roast duck?"

As soon as Zhou heard Shizi's words, he just wanted to say a big thing, but suddenly felt that his sleeves were being pulled, and his eyes turned to Tong Manjiao on his side, and he suddenly reacted, his eyes hesitated, but thinking that the nobleman couldn't help but reply, the hesitation in his eyes subsided.

"It's... I don't know what the prince said about the golden roast duck? ”

"Oh, it's nothing, I just ate it once in Ruyi Building yesterday, and I think it's very delicious. Today, I learned that the cooking skills of the chef of your house are not inferior to Ruyi Lou, so I want to ask if I can also make a golden roast duck, if so, then Song has been blessed in the past two days. ”

"That ......"

"What's so difficult about that, since the prince loves the golden roast duck of Ruyilou so much, as long as the prince wants to eat it these days, he will let Ruyilou send it."

Wen Lan suddenly grabbed white, and Zhou didn't react for a while. Tong Huaiyuan also looked at his wife in surprise, obviously the two had already discussed.

Don't show too much in front of the nobles, even if the Zhou family wants to win the favor of the nobles, as long as it is not too much, do not interrupt, so as not to hurt the harmony, what is going on?

Wen Lan looked at Song Zhan with a smile, and prayed in her heart that Song Zhan would reveal the topic of golden roast duck and stop digging into it, but unfortunately God couldn't hear Wen Lan's inner prayer.

"The price of the golden roast duck in Ruyi Building is very expensive, if it is because of this son of the world, the Zhizhou Mansion will work and lose money, and it will not be good to spread it."

"No ......"

"Today, I am fortunate to eat the same delicious food as Ruyi Lou in your mansion, and I privately think that the chef of your mansion and the chef of Ruyi Lou go out of the same house, Mrs. Tong thinks what she said is right?"

was interrupted mercilessly by Song Zhan, and the meaning of the scrutiny in his words was clear, although Wen Lan was much older than Song Zhan, he couldn't say half a sentence at the moment.

When he was panicking in his heart, his left hand that suddenly hung under the table was held by Tong Huaiyuan, and he felt Tong Huaiyuan pull a few times in his palm, and suddenly his mind suddenly turned to the words that the family of three discussed in front of the Ruyi Building.

"The prince praised it, how could the chef in the house go out with the chef of Ruyi Building, the reason why the taste can be so close is because the little girl is naughty, she likes to eat on weekdays, and every time she tastes delicious food outside, she ponders the materials at home, and after a long time, the chef in the house has also practiced."

After Wen Lan finished speaking, she glanced around, and saw that everyone in the family nodded in agreement, and her heart was at peace.

Song Zhan looked at Mrs. Tong's relieved appearance at the moment, and his suspicions deepened, but his face looked like this, and his eyes turned to the girl who was sitting under Mrs. Tong.

The girl hung her head and couldn't see clearly, her black and shiny hair was tied in a simple bun, compared with the two daughters of Mrs. Tong's second daughter, who were full of pearls, this girl was a little simple.

The magpie is made of wood, the eyes of the magpie and the stamens of the plum blossom are inlaid with rubies, although they are small, they are better than the exquisite craftsmanship and good color, and the light is shining at the moment, but it also adds color, and Song Zhan's eyes are more interesting.

"Miss Tong San, can you raise your head?"

Tong Qingyan bit her lip when she heard Song Zhan's question. This can be regarded as a frivolous and rude request, but in Song Zhan's identity, it seems very natural.

After relaxing and lifting his face, his eyes were still drooping. Song Zhan looked at the immature girl with a shy and confused look on her face, and a trace of disappointment passed through her heart, and she didn't even know what she was disappointed about.

Thinking of the coincidence between this and the contrast between Mrs. Tong before and after, Song Zhan's already retracted gaze was on Tong Qingyan again.

Tong Qingyan didn't expect Song Zhan to look at it again, but she instinctively glanced at it but was caught.

After making eye contact with Song Zhan, he immediately withdrew his gaze and lowered his head, but it was too late.

"Huh?"

"What's wrong?"

When the princess, who had been eating quietly, heard her son ask the little girl to look up, she couldn't hide her shock and looked at Song Zhan, but now she couldn't help but ask when she saw him look at him again and again.

"Miss Tong San is very familiar, have we met anywhere?"

"Impossible!"

Wen Lan retorted in a hurried tone, and everyone in the banquet looked at him in surprise.

Tong Huaiyuan squeezed the hand he held in his hand, and smiled for his wife.

"Don't blame the son, the little girl hasn't gone out for the past few days, and even if she goes out, there are servants to follow. I don't think I've ever seen it in the next world, and the lower official thinks that it should be a little girl with a good face, so he gives the world the illusion of déjà vu. ”

"It's the kid who is abrupt, Lord Tong forgive me."

Song Zhan and Tong Huaiyuan toasted each other, even if they didn't mention it, as for what they thought in their hearts, they probably knew it themselves.
