Chapter 124: Return to the Four Pavilions Together
Walking all the way, Lin Siniang would occasionally sneak a few glances at Leng Chitong, and seeing that he didn't care about himself so much, he didn't say much, just walked quietly.
With Lin Siniang leading the way, after seven turns and eight turns, the pedestrians beside him became more and more sparse, and the scene on the street became more and more deserted.
In the end, Lin Siniang took Leng Chitong and the others to a deserted street corner, and stopped outside the door of a two-story restaurant.
"Since this boy is hungry, let's stay here for a while, shall we?"
Lin Siniang suddenly seemed to have a different face, smiling, gentle and polite, and her voice was like a trickle, making people listen like a spring breeze, exuding a temperament that was almost like two people before.
Leng Chitong turned her head curiously and glanced at Lin Siniang, almost thinking that there was a different person next to her at some point.
Although Squeak and Wang Yun didn't say anything, they were also quite surprised in their hearts, and they all suddenly couldn't understand this female shopkeeper who sold public opinion.
When they saw Lin Siniang for the first time, they only thought that this was a beautiful woman with flowers and charms, and although she was still dressed at this time, the expression on her face, the tone of her speech and all kinds of appropriate manners made people feel a little bit of the beauty of the hibiscus, which made people inexplicably want to get close to her.
Leng Chitong and a few people raised their eyes to take a look, only to see that the door of this small restaurant was written with three golden characters of "Guisi Pavilion", the environment inside was very elegant, clean and refreshing, but it was deserted, and there were no guests.
Lin Siniang pulled her long skirt slightly, took small steps, and stepped into the four pavilions.
The other three followed, looking up and down the tavern as they walked inside.
"Return to the Fourth Pavilion? What does the name mean? It's kind of weird, it's confusing......"
Wang Yun walked at the end, his eyes were a little incomprehensible, and his mouth was softly broken.
Lin Siniang listened to Wang Yun's words in her ears, and did not speak, her rosy lips rose slightly, and her eyes suddenly seemed to fluctuate.
"Siniang, are you here?"
At this time, a handsome man with a polite temperament came to face him in a cyan robe, with a happy face and brisk steps, his eyes always fell on Siniang's body, and his eyes seemed to be filled with a pool of soft and clear lake water.
Lin Siniang nodded slightly, "It's rare to have leisure to go out with these little friends today, so I stopped by to see your old friend, what's wrong?" How's it going? ”
The man moved his gaze to Leng Chitong and the others, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down, "Oh? It's a rare thing, if I'm not mistaken, this is the first time you've brought a friend to me, right? ”
After speaking, the man carefully looked at the cold red pupils again, and a complicated look of indescribable inexplicability appeared in his dark eyes.
"Come with me."
The man in the green shirt made a gesture of "please" with one hand, and slowly turned around and walked to the second floor.
Leng Chitong was finally taken by the man in the green shirt to a private room in the far corner of the second floor.
The wooden door creaked gently, slowly opened, a wisp of faint fragrance came to the nose slowly, the first smell, elegant and light, and then smelled, fragrant and sweet, this pleasant fragrance makes people inexplicably add some pleasure to the heart, and seems to be able to smooth out some complicated emotions.
A few people looked up and saw a large round table in the private room, and a number of wooden chairs were neatly placed around the table.
Strings of beaded curtains made of crystal clear crushed amber hang from the window, glittering in the light and dazzling in color, adding the finishing touch to this elegant room.
On the wall, there are three pictures of beautiful women, and the women painted in the pictures are all graceful, with a beautiful posture, quite a kind of "Luo Yi He fluttering, light clothes with the wind" taste, but unfortunately the facial features of the beauties in the picture are blank.
The man in the green shirt took the lead in entering the private room, gently pulled out a wooden chair under the round table, and then looked at Lin Siniang by the door with a pleasant face.
"Shangguan Gongzi, please prepare a table of good dishes for us."
Lin Siniang sat down slowly and said to the man in green shirt in a harmonious voice.
The man in the green shirt stretched out a right hand and gently pressed it on Lin Siniang's fragrant shoulder, his voice was a little hoarse, hidden warm, "Siniang is polite, why bother with me?" Just sit down and wait, I'll go and tell the guy, go and come! ”
After speaking, he hurriedly walked out of the door, and seemed to suddenly remember something, looked back and smiled, looking forward to the brilliance, "Old rules? A cup of warm osmanthus stuff? ”
Lin Siniang covered her mouth and smiled lightly, "Shangguan Gongzi still understands me!" ”
"That's nature!" The man in the green shirt responded with a smile and left immediately.
"What kind of incense is this? It makes people feel very comfortable when they smell it. ”
Squeaky eyes stared curiously at the small incense burner placed by the wall, resting his cheek in one hand, and constantly taking deep breaths, almost immersed in the unique fragrance that permeated the private room.
Lin Siniang smiled, "This is Shangguan Gongzi who often felt restless when he saw me before, and often had nightmares to disturb his sleep, so he specially found someone to prepare the fragrance for me, as if it was made of osmanthus, peony, nine mile, bergamot, motherwort and some other pollen. There's always something good to smelling and smelling about. ”
While speaking, Lin Siniang smiled lightly and continued: "Don't say it, since I have this incense, I am really in a much better mood." ”
"Oh? It seems that there is a story between you and this Shangguan Gongzi? Can you tell me about it? ”
Squeaky and flickering with watery eyes, full of aura, sat up straight, full of curiosity, and suddenly began to talk.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Shangguan son in Lin Siniang's mouth must have a lot to do with her.
"This son's name is Shangguan Hao, originally from Hengcheng, three years ago I met here by chance, the two of us hit it off at first sight, the first time we met, I felt that there were endless words, it really made people feel like they were meeting late."
Unexpectedly, Lin Siniang recalled the first meeting between herself and Shangguan Hao with great interest, but suddenly paused, and became sad, "Helplessly, I have no intention of loving others anymore, but I have always regarded him as a confidant, and I have never had other thoughts, but he ...... It seems that I am destined to live up to his heart for me......"
Seeing that Squeak was interested in Shangguan Hao, Lin Siniang put away her worries, got up slowly, walked to the bottom of the three beauties, and made the same movements according to the posture of the beauties in the pictures.
"Isn't this painting based on you?"
Squeak looked at the beauty picture, then at Lin Siniang, and couldn't help but be curious again.
Lin Siniang nodded, smiled, and slowly returned to her original position and sat down.
"Then why don't you draw your face? It's a bit weird to look at like this, and it always feels like something is missing. ”
Wang Yun couldn't understand the reason after thinking about it, frowning, and looked puzzled.
Lin Siniang chuckled, "Don't say it, I remember the first time I saw these paintings, I was also curious, and I asked the same question as you, guess what he said?" ”
Squeaked and thought for a moment, but he didn't have any clue, and brought his little face closer to Lin Siniang, who was full of smiles, "Huh? How so? ”
"I'm afraid that in this world, no painter can paint one-ten-thousandth of Siniang's delicate face, I don't dare to let those painters scribble Siniang's face at will!"
Just as a few people were talking and laughing, Shangguan Hao's voice sounded, and he didn't know when he had already walked in lightly.
"Shangguan Gongzi likes to exaggerate, I am embarrassed to say such praise!"
Lin Siniang listened to Shangguan Hao's beautiful words, smiled like a flower, and when she turned her head, her eyes accidentally collided with Leng Chitong's sight, her eyes suddenly contained spring water, and her jade cheeks flushed slightly, and she seemed to be a little embarrassed.
"Come, Siniang, try this osmanthus brewing, and see if my brewing skills have improved a lot now!"
Shangguan Hao said as he personally brought Lin Siniang's favorite osmanthus brew to the table, and carefully poured her a cup of mellow wine.
As soon as the wine fell into the glass, the sweet aroma of osmanthus brewed was volatilized, mixed with the incense permeating the private room, the sweetness was thicker, and the fragrance was overflowing.
Lin Siniang picked up the wine glass in her hand, covered her sleeves and took a sip, revealing a smile in her eyes, "Well, it is Shangguan Gongzi who has the osmanthus brew here that is the most popular with me." Today's osmanthus brew is even more wonderful, compared with the past, it seems to have added a hint of sweetness. ”
"Leng Gongzi, why don't you also taste the osmanthus brewed by Shangguan Gongzi?"
Lin Siniang spoke softly, and poured a cup of osmanthus brew for Leng Chitong's eyes as she spoke.
Shangguan Hao stood aside and watched, although he tried to maintain his graceful demeanor, he still faintly revealed a trace of gloom that was very inconspicuous.
Leng Chitong held the exquisite wine glass in his hand, lowered his head and smelled the sweet but not greasy aroma coming from the glass, and took a big sip of the liquor in the cup into his stomach.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Leng Chitong had never drunk alcohol before, this big gulp, a trace of warmth and spicy slid through his throat, he didn't adjust his breathing, he was accidentally choked badly, he couldn't stop coughing for a long time, and his face suddenly turned a lot red.
Lin Siniang wanted to get up, but she was squeaked and took the lead, so she had to sit and look at Leng Chitong with some worry.
"Drink slowly, this is wine, not tea!"
At this time, Squeak had already nervefully got up nervously, patting Leng Chitong's back with a look of concern.
"It seems that this little boy is drinking for the first time?"
Shangguan Hao said with a smile in his eyes and a respectful attitude.
Leng Chitong finally relieved himself and nodded lightly.
"Well, the first time I tasted wine, it tasted good, but it was a little choking......"
"If Leng Gongzi drinks again, don't drink like this again, if you hurt your throat, it's not good."
Lin Siniang looked at Leng Chitong's face was still red, and couldn't help but wake up.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and several guys walked in with delicious dishes in their hands.
Wang Yun's eyes widened suddenly, and his greedy mouth couldn't help but open slightly.
