"Do you two want a private room or a lobby, let the little one know, and the little one will help you pay attention, and arrange it for the two guest officers as soon as there is a vacant seat." The shopkeeper said with a smile while serving the two of them all the way, and it is no wonder that this restaurant is so popular with such enthusiasm and thoughtfulness.

Shen Yue and Ye Xinyi glanced at each other, and said in a deep voice, "Let's have a private room!" ”

The shopkeeper responded with a smile, "Okay! He was even more diligent in guiding the two of them to the back of the lobby, who knew that before they got around the red sandalwood flower blossom rich Shu embroidered screen, a middle-aged man wearing brocade clothes and a slightly mellow appearance had already hurried over, and when he got closer, he smiled and said, "Two, two and slow!" ”

The shopkeeper turned his head and was a little surprised, but he hurriedly said with a smile, "The shopkeeper." ”

It turned out to be the shopkeeper of this Zhizhu Xuan.

Ye Xinyi and Shen Yue exchanged glances, and while they stood still, one was expressionless and the other smiled slightly.

The shopkeeper had quickly approached with a smile, but he bowed his hand respectfully to the two of them, "The two guest officers don't have to wait any longer, your two friends are already waiting at No. 1 Qingzi on the second floor, and you two will come with me." ”

Shen Yue and Ye Xinyi glanced at each other again, but there was no discoloration on their faces, and after a while, Ye Xinyi smiled slightly and said, "Then please ask the shopkeeper to help lead the way." ”

"Where, where, within the matter, the two guest officers here, please." The shopkeeper smiled and stretched out his hand towards the stairs leading to the second floor.

The two followed the shopkeeper all the way to the second floor, passed through the corridor where there was a shot, and arrived at the private room at the end, the shopkeeper knocked on the door twice, and the door opened from the inside, Ye Xinyi saw at a glance that after opening the door, the person who was standing by the door with his hands tied and was bending his knees to salute her and Shen Yue was not the peony?

Ye Xinyi was not surprised at all, and nodded at her with a slight smile, but Shen Yue was expressionless from beginning to end. The shopkeeper and the peony let the two into the door, the current screen, also made of rosewood as the bottom, the large three drunk hibiscus embroidered by Shu, is very gorgeous.

Ye Xinyi was still admiring the embroidery skills, and when he was amazed, he heard a voice behind the screen that could invisibly reveal majesty, "You are here?" It's just that the dishes are almost ready, right? So they can be served. But the latter was addressed to the shopkeeper.

After hearing this, the shopkeeper answered "yes", and then turned around and withdrew.

When he heard the sound, Peony had already introduced Shen and Ye into the screen, saw Peony, and then saw Old Lady Xia, Ye Xinyi and Shen Yue, naturally there was no surprise.

In fact, they all had tacit guesses.

This is a very spacious private room, with windows on three sides, and at this time, the window due south is open, and the night breeze slowly enters, and you can faintly smell the faint fragrance of cinnamon. In the distance, there is the Huanhua Creek under the beautiful lanterns.

Mrs. Xia was dressed in half-worn regular clothes, and her gray hair was meticulously pulled into a bun, coiled on the top of her head, but there were only two hairpins of white jade and five blessings on the bun, and she was sitting on the low couch under the window at this time, and saw the two of them, so she stood up from the low couch and stretched out her hand to the mahogany Eight Immortals table on the side, "Sit down!" ”

came here, and expected that there would be such a meeting, Shen Yue and Ye Xinyi naturally would not be hypocritical, and after thanking them, they sat down with Mrs. Xia.

Peony and Hibiscus stepped forward silently and poured tea for each of them.

"Look at it that day, you shouldn't like to eat sweet, this Zhizhuxuan's pastry is very good, the old body ordered a few salty and fragrant flavors, you can taste it, but it is still appetizing." Old Madam Xia turned her head sideways and said to Ye Xinyi.

Ye Xinyi smiled slightly, "The old lady is really observant. ”

"It's not really, when you first saw this girl, the old body felt very good, and saw that you acted quite methodically, is a smart and calculating, the old body still likes it, the last time I saw it in the brocade workshop, I found that your taste is also very similar to the old body, but it is a deed, so I wrote it down for a while." Old Madam Xia's tone was still solemn.

Ye Xinyi didn't mind, took a piece of scallion puff pastry and put it in his mouth to taste it, nodded and said, "It's really delicious." ”

"If you think it's good, then it's fine." The corners of Mrs. Xia's mouth were finally shallowly hooked, and the color of her eyes was also soft for a moment, but it was only for a moment, when she turned her head to look at Shen Yue, the softness in her eyes was silently deep, and those eyes were really the same as Xia Changhe at first glance, but they were more unfathomable than Xia Changhe, so maybe it was the accumulation of years of life and events!

"The old body can only estimate Mrs. Zun's preferences, but he doesn't know much about Lord Shen, and he didn't prepare two pastries according to your taste, and I hope Lord Shen won't blame him!"

Shen Yue curled the corners of his mouth, "The old lady is serious." Shen doesn't have any special preferences, as long as he can fill his stomach. Now, she likes it, and so do I. The latter sentence turned his head to look at Ye Xinyi and said, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, his expression was focused, and the consistently cold and hard lines were much softer.

Ye Xinyi smiled back at him, his eyes met, and the years that flowed silently between the two of them were quiet, as if they had nothing to do with the place and time they were in.

Old Madam Xia's eyes flashed slightly, "Actually, it's no wonder that the old body is not a little old, the old body has not spent much effort to check Lord Shen, but Lord Shen is really hiding too deeply, as if he can't find out even the slightest special preference." "But...... Glancing at Ye Xinyi, who was sitting quietly on the side, as if she was not interested in the content of their conversation at all, just eating the pastry in small bites, very attentive, Old Madam Xia thought that she might know the preferences of this Lord Shen. Just like what he said, if she liked it, he liked it.

"It's just a means of self-preservation, the old lady is wise, and she must not be surprised." Shen Yue bowed slightly, but his tone was neither humble nor arrogant.

Old Madam Xia looked at him, and the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, "The old man has heard your name many times in the family letter sent back by San'er before, although it is only a few words, it can also be seen that the relationship between you and San'er is very good." ”

"Affectionate like brothers, lifelong friendship." Shen Yue's tone was light, but it was sonorous, and he actually confessed to Mrs. Xia without concealment.

Old Madam Xia didn't seem to expect it, her eyes narrowed slightly, and then her eyes lit up at first, and in the next moment, the smile arc at the corner of her mouth expanded, "What a fateful friendship!" I didn't expect my family's three sons to have a good eye for people, and Lord Shen is a friend, he has a good hand. ”

This is naturally already a compliment, not to mention, with the heart of Old Madam Xia, there is no adulteration in this sentence.

Shen Yue was still not arrogant or impatient, and he was not frightened, and his expression lowered his eyes slightly, "The relationship between people has always been mutual. To have Yanfeng as my brother is also a blessing for my three lives. ”
